And the Daily Help Thread has been refreshed, here’s the new one
Thanks!
I have a 70% light buff, minimum 30% light resist, and a 100% water resist buff for Anima. Full evade provoke unit. Somehow I took damage on my best clear yet. Huh?
Alexander's Light resist is 3 turns, so the DOT it places on you...T1 I think would trigger end of your Turn 4, before the Boss gets his action. Is that when it's happening? If so you need to do Alexander's light resist later OR gear your provoke unit for 100% light innately I think.
I only applied light resist on turn 1 and took 0 dmg on turn 4 and 5
Yeah... the boss doesn't get an action on T5 because he's dead a d T4 is just a Water AOE. But I think that T1 DOT has a chance But if you're provoker has evade maybe it misses? I was taking damage because I accidentally had Provoke gear on a unit that didn't have evade.
Sure is. Looking at the wiki and the jp mega thread, I didn’t even know there was dot
It's the very first move on Togeo's AI. A normal attack that is a 3T DOT. It was hitting me for the same reason that's why I was able to guess it was the exact same for you lol.
Completely overlooked it. Ugh
How do you know beforehand if break ends on which turn? Player / enemy? In this case, lara’s 90% def break —> i cast it. Enemy turn (turn 1?). My turn (still turn 1?). Enemy turn (turn 2). My turn (turn 2?)
Ends on your turn 3 for defensive break
Alright, so i have 1 turn after breaking to prepare right? Im still not really sure if it is counted as turn 1 as soon as i use that break
Thank you
E.g.
You use Volatile Ammunition (90% break) on Turn 1 with Lara first to go; Target is broken, with 5 more units to go. The rest of the units can damage the target with break applied, and this is counted as Turn 0.
Turn 1 (Boss) - Break is Up
Turn 2 (Self) - Break is Up
Turn 2 (Boss) - Break is up
Turn 3 (Self) - Break is Up
Turn 3 (Boss) - Break is down (irrelevant though since you have no action)
Thank you. This really clears my doubt
What's the most important Anima node? The most recent Esper post (11 months ago) completely ignores LB damage.
Anima isn’t an important esper AT ALL except Yuna for field. It’s used as fodder for a unit that wants dark resist, or for the 70% AOE dark resist, or for Erinyes Ring q cast darkga for chaining partner. Get the dark resist AOE buff and darkga and you’re good.
That LB node is 5%, not a huge difference maker but if you have enough relics to get it then you can go for it.
I’d also get Enshrouded by Darkness for the 70% AoE dark resistance, and I’ve used the Darkga CWA chaining skill a few times with Erinyes Ring
That build still looks fine.
Anima's LB damage is only 5%. Every non-evoker damage dealer would prefer an esper with the correct killer. And until evokers make a comeback to the meta I would rather keep Anima as a support esper like Siren.
Of course, you can always pour esper ores into her.
I’d say Enshrouded by Darkness (AoE 70% dark resist). Darkga (dark CWA) might have use.
Which one should i ex1,ice reaper kirasame,melia,sage of thunder sakura,faris nv,beach shinju, my main and only damage dealer is taivas ex3 and thats it
Sakura Shinju and Kurasame.
Probably in that order.
Sakura is good lightning support, which is very tough to find in the current meta, with none on the horizon from JP (It's basically just Sakura). However, if we get a good GLEX lightning support unit soon, her ranking will fall, as she doesn't offer much beyond the lightning support and some killers.
Shinju and Kurasame are good damage for their element with good STMRs. Both are reasonably rare elements for their damage type too, at the current time.
Faris is old and even with upgrades doesn't really enter the meta again. Melia is not as reliable as Faisy or Maeve. Melia will likely see EX upgrades in April, but that's 3 months off and who knows if they'll be any good? We should also see another DFD run around then if they are actually good.
I’d lean towards Sakura
In your opinion if I don't have any 90% def breaker and as far as I can see there is no one with that in the near future, is it worth to crown Locke? Or should I wait for more glex units that might get it
I mean, everyone is saying it, but Kaktiria with 89% is probably best.
Outside of Fire/Water, Locke is unfortunately not a great unit to bring along anymore. Chaining has been mostly homogenized to be BS frames. CWA and, to a lesser extent, SR (Locke's) are still around so it's not terrible, but Locke would likely cause more problems to include than he would solve.
And Tulien's damage output probably more than makes up for the 2% break difference.
Also, looking forward, you never know what a future GLEX will bring - we get at least 1 per month. And Vinera, another 90 DEF breaker, will probably be seeing a re-release and upgrades at some point. JP does their WotV collabs a little differently, but they recently had a WotV collab with new assets, which means GL will likely get one in the next 3-5 months.
You can use Kaktiria's 89% break if you have him, giving limited crowns to locke doesn't look that good to me.
Which unit deserves the crowns at the moment?
Who’s your best breaker? Do you have Kaktiria with her 89% breaks?
Don't have her sadly, Im pretty sure my best breaker atm is tulien with 87 with lb only
Tulien has 88 and decent damage of his own, he’s more than sufficient
Tulian has his glove accessory for 88% breaks also
Are you trying to compete for a top score in CoW and DV? Tulien’s 87% breaks aren’t the best, but it’s a 30% difference between a 90% break against a boss with no passive DEF. If the boss has passive stats then the % difference between 87% and 90% becomes less.
I'm not really competing since I'm rather new and simply missing the stmrs to do so, even tho I have a good roster. Could you explain what you mean with the boss having passive stats? Every boss should have stats no?
FFBE/JP
Have they stopped giving energy potions on JP? Did they maybe move them to some other feature? I'm running out while on global I have over 2k just seems odd.
10EN potions probably aren't as common as they used to be in JP but I've got thousands of 50EN potions
Omg, okay I should have google translated that potion below the 10en, those are 50en ones. yeah okay, I have 4k of those problem solved, sigh. looks like I can farm to evolve some items after all.
Is Karten's TDH damage actually 10x stronger than TDW, or did I screw something up again?
On my damage turn for Tetra he seems to have only done about 2-3b.
Should have been all set with CD Aeris' buffs. Had his own fist imperil instead of Kaktiria's, 6300 ATK, max Fairy killer, 90% DEF break, 150 killer from Bulwark. Combo didn't drop.
You definitely imbued him right?
I cast ardent prayer and rod imperil at the same time T2, so he should have been, yes
Edit - Weird, ran it again, exactly the same, only without a weapon on Skye, and he did 13b, so I capped. /shrug
Lara and Machina did the same ~8b combined, but suddenly, Karten did what I expected. Maybe I missed a fat-finger on Aeris.
Quick Q - if I use an ability of turn 1, and it says it's good for 2 turns, is it active for turns 2 and 3, then gone on turn 4? Or is it good for turn 1 and 2 and gone on turn 3?
Depends on the target, if its the enemy then you get the current turn plus 2. If your casting on your team then its just the Current turn plus 1.
Well it's a self ability, so the cast turn where I can't do anything else, then I'll have to utilize on the next turn. Got it. Thanks
For the stroper trial, I know I’m screwing something up. After turn 5, the boss is KOing my provoker even though they have null death equipment (genji shield). Does The boss dispel the genji shield null death effect? If so, Is there any way to avoid that? I thought keeping up camouflage would avoid this but I guess not?
I only want to clear the trial in 10 turns, which isn’t looking good since I’m at >50% after turn 6. Using provoke kaktiria EX1, Roca EX1, ling ex2, evade maeve EX2, tidus 3ex. I think I need a friend unit built for stone killer to chain with my Tidus.
A strong enough friend unit should be able to solo damage the fight for you. I just used my Angela and didn't even bring in a friend at all. She was very well supported though. Tiana friends are pretty common too.
It is a permanent trial too, so no need to rush it.
As for your death question, I don't see anything on the wiki about unresistable death.
Crap. Does genji shield not work the same as safety bit? I wanted to free up an accessory slot for Kaktiria’s TMR so I could get a tiny bit more LB fill each turn.
Most likely what's killing your provoker is the dot that's casted every 5 turns. It can catch people off guard if they don't have miti effects up when it's applied
That’s definitely it since I have no idea what DoT is. I remembered the all party dispel and reapplied buffs, but now need to figure out what DOT is and plan for that. Thanks for the help.
You don't need Ling when you are covering with evade maeve, if you can bring a friend Angela earth/fire imbued with tidus & kakteria bs chaining.
I was referencing Sinzar’s budget clear video for this fight and added on Maeve because I didn’t care about the five unit mission and wanted her to cure Kaktiria’s petrification automatically with Lakshmi synergy, though I also equipped Rikku’s pouch on Ling and Roca as backup. But good to know I can skip the camouflaging with Maeve around. I was having a hard time getting Roca and Kaktiria’s LB filled.
My Tidus is weaker than the one in the video (I’ve got 6692 atk/300 stone killler/lB), but my real problem is the friend unit in place of Cyan. I’ll see if anyone on my friend list has a stone killer unit up.
I have Summer Shinju set up if you need a strong friend - 413,456,482
Thanks so much for the add! Your BB Shinju carried the day. You can take me off your list to make room again. 590 048 134
Thanks. Just sent you a request.
Anyone else having trouble with the Amazon version on Android? It keeps telling me to go to the app store to update the game even though I have "updated" it multiple times now.
I usually find I have to update the game directly from the Amazon App Store, not try to update it from the game itself
I have been. And it tells me that the update was installed successfully. But it still tells me that it needs to update.
Edit: I am worried that the update for Android that I did last night may have broke the Amazon App store. Which would mean I have to wait for Amazon to push a fix.
Some phones (especially Chinese-branded phones) have a wonky problem with Amazon App.
Speaking solely from my own experience as a XiaoMi user, the OS (MIUI) does not recognise Amazon App as an App (since it is not registered in their own App store)
Consequently, when you press install / Update on Amazon App, it will trigger the App to download the patch, but not install it despite you see that the App saying that it was installed successfully.
Solution (Note: this is not definitive, just some suggestions. better for you to google / youtube a fix specific to your phone model)
You will have to enable Amazon App to install applications / enable your phone to accept apk files from unrecognised sources.
After that, try to download the update again via Amazon App
Go to notifications to see the download notification and click on it after the download is complete. Following which, you should see a familiar page from Android to prompt you to install apk file from unrecognised sources. That is the real installation (for me at least)
I uninstalled then reinstalled and that seems to have worked
Just got the new VC from the step up banner. What is BIS for full moon Karten TDH?
His “true” BiS is actually using Taivas’ VC due to the 500 static attack for FFBE male units.
Build with Taivas VC Human killer
Build with GLEX VC Human killer
It’s not a huge drop in damage switching the VC, and the GLEX VC is easier to get than a EX3 Taivas.
The builder does still use the CoW chain cap clothes and Lightning STMR to go up to the 6x chain cap.
Does any1 have an idea when NV Rinoa is expected to come out on global?
Probably April. We have two other KM events scheduled before then - FFIV (Kain/Rydia) and Dark Rain
Came out in JP on 31st October, which was 2 1/2 months after Tulien. So best guess is end of March right now but it's very rough these days to give a good estimate with GLEX stuff and skipped events.
No one would know for sure, but here is the update schedule and you can guess from there, also being aware we’ll have GLEX units thrown in there
