Have you not done Odins yet? Or aren't flooded with artifacts? I'm at the point where I have 2 realm artifacts and at least 3 artifacts for each element, phys and mag. There's close to no reason to keep regular weapons around anymore at all.
Even 6* element boost weapons are starting to look like rainbow crystals. Natural 7* weapons (sync/LBO) are still safe, not that anyone's likely to have a huge number of those.

I've been a bit more conservative with those with the shift to realm content again, because synergy is a thing, but now that I'm at the point of getting realm artifacts...yeah, that's probably accurate.

They're a little better if fully rosetta'd or combined with synergy, but that's where having two realm artifacts comes in and obliterate them, so even at best, they're going on your third string DPS.

Are we talking about fully rainbow realm artifacts?
Are we talking about fully rainbow realm artifacts?
Yeah. I'm perpetually at about ~100-200 rainbows. Not sure if it's a slow bleed or a slow gain (probably both depending on events), and if I actually was able to do Dreambreakers or the other half of 6* magicite that I've not yet, I'd definitely be out, but I've fully maxed everything, in no small part because I mulched like, 150 weapons a month or two back.
My AASB only Sora got me through a ton of content, though I don't really use him anymore.
Who makes Brave Exvius?
Gumi. I'll be honest, my perception of the gachas' fanbase (Reddit+YouTube+Discord), Gumi is a scummy company. Bad pull rates, LOTS of resources to manage and crappy menus designed to obfuscate and railroad you to spend on the game. And unlike RK (which has RNG MIND YOU!), you can spend money and not see any return on your unit's power. War of the Visions (the new Tactics like Gacha) is the same deal. Despite all of this, BE seems to be pretty popular (it got a musical for fuck's sake).

FFBE has a lot of problems that eventually drove me off it. The gacha is abusively stingy. The power creep is out of control so even when you get lucky on the gacha, that has a shelf life of maybe 6 months. The top level battles take forever yet they're determined by the setup. There's obnoxious pseduo-PVP stuff. And the just straight up grinding is unbelievable.
....you know, it's a great time to replay Vagrant Story. Just finished a FF3 replay. I could dive back into that game. Or Chrono Cross. Probably Vagrant first tho. I hate that I have to be a dick to Kid to get Glenn.

No Odins. I have a bunch of resist accessories I need to get rid of. are you saying i can dump accessories if i do Odin?
I'm keeping most elemental boost armors and only 6* and above weapons

Get at least four Odin clears out of the way and you can mulch somewhere between 97% and 99% of those accessories, depending on how eye-bleedingly optimal you want to be against Dreambreakers.
Vivi’s Awakening is real nice; gives him his Trance mode, meaning more dualcasts.

All 35 tickets for single pulls at once. Starting with Holy because Diabolos of any kind is still outstanding:
11th ticket: Yuna AASB
12th ticket: Yuna USB (Emp. EnHoly)
33rd ticket: Beatrix SASB (!)
And that's it! Let me tell you I have a VERY bad stomachache from that gap between ticket 12 and 33. Gacha remains the best evidence of our living in either a cold uncaring universe with no god ruled by numbers, or a universe ruled by a malevolent child who pulls the legs off the ants that are us, their creations.
3/5 items is below the EV of 5, which sucks, but 3 new items when I started with 3 items on the banner feels like dodging a bullet? Plus Beatrix Sync is real good.
This leads me to consider Diabolos, again. Picking Arc AASB feels real dumb now, but if I'd picked Rem AASB at the time, I'm sure I would've duped it now.
Holy Magic:
Elarra G+, USB1, AASB
Hope Chain, USB2 (Radiant Shield), BSB (only EnHoly source) Could Lens USB1 (EnHoly)
Pecil AASB, Glint (EnHoly w/o Empower). Could Lens Glint (Emp. EnHoly, QC Knight) and grab his HA.
Arc AASB, USB (chase)
Yuna AASB, USB (Emp. EnHoly), AOSB.
Yuna needs Lunar Dragon, leaving Hope with Madeen. Lots of off-healing from Yuna. I wonder if I could drop Elarra and have Yuna DPS-Heal the fight. I don't have any other BDL Holy Magic users though (well, Rydia, who can't EnHoly).
Holy Physical:
Elarra G+, USB1, 2, AASB
Tyro Wall, USB4, Glint
Pecil Chain, AASB, AOSB, Glint (EnHoly w/o Empower). Could Lens Glint (Emp. EnHoly, QC Knight) and grab his HA.
TG Cid AASB, USB, G+, G (Emp. EnHoly). Has a decent HA.
Beatrix SASB. Has a very strong HA. Would have to Lens possibly her Glint and/or Ultra.
Could drop Pecil as Chain bearer and RW it, and instead bring WoL with G, G+, AASB. I also have WoL CSB, but that's a lot of meter.
You don't want to be doing a lot of summoning in phase 3. I had Yuna AASB in phase 1 and it's a lot of healing, I'd be tempted to try having her as the solo heal on your magic team. Switch to full time healing after the AASB runs out.
Maybe slot an entrust where you currently have Elarra listed, to help Hope get all of his stuff running, and to get Tuna meter when necessary
I was hoping I could do a super fast clear, but my first couple pokes are that I can't get going fast enough to beat out the stun without Larsa's tech or Elarra's G+, which really puts a damper on things. I've got Yuna's CSB and I'm honestly not certain what to do with her extra meter. I guess just fire off a random USB1 or lens-buy her BUSB, but whatever.
With all my tickets done, my final score is...two 5* relics. That's it. Admittedly, Rem Glint is better than your typical 5*, but still.
Oh well, I've seen good luck from other sources in the same time period, so it all evens out in the end. Pecil AASB from a bonus ticket and Raines AASB from a daily.

Any hot takes on which route might be easier?
I might go with a physical team.
I’m thinking Pecil (get his stacking Enholy Glint), WOL, and Beatrix.
Since you have Elarra’s G+, you can give WOL Mako Might so that he can more quickly get enough meter for Chain and Awakening. And if he builds meter with Lifesiphon, he may be able to use his normal Glint before Awakening. Tyro can carry Ace Striker and use Wrath and then SG for his first two turns.
Now that I think about it, I'd be tempted to drop Tyro and add WoL so you have four characters that can attack. Definitely make sure Elarra is jamming out on the ATK song, since that would be your only buff.

But then again, crits and crit damage buffs are still really good for getting some oomph.
Yeah. I'm perpetually at about ~100-200 rainbows. Not sure if it's a slow bleed or a slow gain (probably both depending on events), and if I actually was able to do Dreambreakers or the other half of 6* magicite that I've not yet, I'd definitely be out, but I've fully maxed everything, in no small part because I mulched like, 150 weapons a month or two back.
My FF9 clear had 3 FF9 relics, and my FFT 90% has three as well.
Which, come to think of it, I need to get on that if I want to try to beat it while the challenge is active.

I'd look at trying to do 5 Dark Odins, if possible - that'll allow you to mulch a TON of accessories which will help free up stuff.
But Dissidia NT also made me sad about that, so
Hope... CSB on the last one. No Sync for me. Well, life goes on.
Got a glint dupe and Vivi's AASB. My first fire mage AASB!
So final haul was:
Beatrix sync
Yuna AOSB
Vivi AASB
Vincent glint dupe
Any sync is beating the odds, so a good haul. 10,000% better luck here than 99% of my non-free (and other free) pulls in the last three months.
