It's not much, but every little bit counts, and it was already "earned," thus even more annoying than missing the 40 when I don't get around to 5 battles in arena (which is happening more often).

That's the worst when you've earned it but haven't claimed it and the indicator doesn't show when it's in a separate tab so easy to miss.

Yeah. This time the quests badge was in fact refreshed with 3 (of 4, 'cause I was just half-assing my way through all the grind fights), but I didn't take note between UI fatigue and the late hour. :-(

You mean didn't one-shot it on Turn 2 with Physalis, Ibara, Terra? What's up with that, bruh? lulz XD

I mean, it was ADV, not EXT, so what *is* up with that, bruh? ;-) Good(?) news is that it *appears* that I *theoretically* have the units/gear to clear 3, *maybe 4* missions of EXT, when I look closely at the *relevant* details (which have for the first time in a while have been written out early on, praise no-xTKO era?). Ofc, that possibility's also been true for the last number of trials, theoretically. ;-)

yeah my % tickets drop SIGNIFICANTLY after I got past 60 of them

I think she's still the go-to for any ice weak enemies, and will still do well against demon/reaper enemies thanks to her buffs. For example she slays Scorn of Enriyes over in JP right now and that just came out a couple of weeks ago, so still going strong several months post release.

Yeah? What've you spent on or planning to spend on?

Got all for terra, 5 kefka, 5 christine, 5 DKL. Basically all the missing shards from logins(for future consideration too).
In global we get 20 less for NVB and 5 less for NVA. Thats your main focus.

If paid enough to get many vip coins, possibly doesn't need a random nv. If still lack of nv, possibly not a p2w and doesn't have enough coins

Yeah, I don't know that I will - the only one I'll have shards for by the end of this challenge period is Ibara (and maybe GLS if I finish untangling my H'ween stuff). I'm a little bit of the way there for Faisy dt a dupe. I could also go further w/ Terra after EX+2, but dunno re: stats or card, esp. if I +3 Ibara.
Any thoughts on EX+2 for S.Elena and/or progress toward it for one/two of Physalis/Firion/Edel/Yoshi?

FYI to myself; went with S.Elena to EX+2, Ibara to EX+3, and Faisy toward EX+3. Still waffling on Terra toward EX+3 vs. Physalis toward EX+2, or possibly neither and then idk. Seems if I ever really want Firion/Edel (or less likely Yoshi) STMR, a moogle'll be more efficient.

Firions stmr is pretty sick, I'd moogle that in a heartbeat, but you also need his card for the passives if you're putting on anyone else. Physalis gets a good jump in stats from ex1 to 2 but her stmr is meh. Edel stmr is good for her and Tifa but not much else atm.

Ouch, sorry mate :-( so that means one more day farther from Physalis EX+1?

Annoying, particularly since completely self-inflicted. :-( Pushes Terra EX+2, Edel option to EX+1, Firion option to EX+1, Faisy toward option of EX+3, and A. Shadow option to EX+1 all back a day, and will either bump Sabin or Kryla from EX+1 with me 10 off of a multiple of 50 for Terra toward option of EX+3, or bump both with me 5 off. Physalis frags for EX+1 already in inventory, but no trigger yet pulled.

Have you tried the INT version yet? I haven't, personally, but those usually serve as a good training stage for the ADV, although it's still rated 300 difficulty, so not a pushover, but at least there's no turn count or team restrictions on that one. Honestly the rewards are better for the INT with the Omega Medal+ and the UoC ticket.

"Content creators"/ YT "personalities" can flash on their channels; I simply don't watch them. I greatly mind news threads (before the replies died out) and "megathreads" being largely self-celebratory, duplicative, and useful to players w/ specific/ stacked teams and/or the time to select and process video(s). Sinzar used to write about and *lead* w/ budget clears; now organizes/ participates in the stunt brigade.

...It's certainly his/ others prerogative to do whatever tf they want, and afaik he usually eventually puts out something more generally useful, sometimes actually findable in the megathread. Regardless, for me, videos be damned, I've been burned too many times by lack of applicability/ replicability. Re: INT, yeah; I smashed it w/ the same team that I then took to ADV, lol.

Stop supporting Gumi. Don’t spend a dime mate

Yeah man, if it continues like this, the rift will likely get wider. It makes me take a step back, too.

I am in agreement. I haven't spent "much" but I'm done spending completely. I'll hoard, splurge, repeat from here on.

I'll probably get as many as I can through the end of the event, since it doesn't look like there'll be any new competing content. My first 40 will likely be Zargabaath #4-8, then extra copies of Basch or maybe Queen.

i got 4 copies of Rydia, copies of Kain and 1 copy of Zarg soooo 90 tickets?

Wow; that's a lot of tickets. How many EP were/are you at to get that many?

Lol. In all fairness, you intentionally handicapped yourself as part of a (wildly successful) project. ;-) However, that's (been) the thing, right? - if you can get the rewards, you don't need them. :-/ Also, Tifa NVA was supposed to have already facerolled Shinryu2 and more, lol(not). AFA DV, I was tempted by the holiday break, but.... still nope on the #1.

Hey, you just beat me so that's something, right? ;-)

As for Shinryu's reward, it's nice for the elemental resists when you don't have any better options, but other than that it's just a shitshow of RNG f**kery. Even using a better DPS than Esther I wouldn't want to go back and do it again. That trial can kiss my @$$ XD

Eynskaet, do you want a Yoshikiri friend unit for the Shiva/Golem fight? His physical mitigation renders her dual physical aoes harmless. Don#t even needed mirage on that one, when 50% gen mit was up with Yoshis phys mitigation.

Like classzerocadet I have 10 Levi son I might just fuse to 7* and fuse all but two into him for his wonderful ( cough cough ) stmr and some % towards his awesome sauce tmr! Lol

But is he even worth 1.5 mil Gil to get to 7* for stmr only good for himself?

There you go again with all that knowing the specific pertinent info (even months later) and the resultant ability to plan, lol. The DPS called for were Ibara and friend Ibara, with Tifa LB capping a lightning chain on a physical resist Shiva, which seemed dumb to me when it turned out that's what I was doing, but worked fine for the person that wasn't me, lol.

Haha, yeah i think the game has it out for you, mate XD might be easier just using two Tifas if you can somehow imbur wind and fire. Lucas is easy enough to get on the current banner for it!

Nah, not the game, just the latest reminder of how s****y I am at the game, and how that's gotten worse over time regardless of units. The "Tifa meta" is supposed to soon be drawing to a close, and I've still not been able to experience the benefit of most of it. :-( Likewise with her more recent compatriots. :-/

Golem FTKO'd (nowhere even vaguely near the damage cap) and done, with all the individual completion rewards claimed. ~67% of possible damage points and ~56% of possible chaining points. Woot. :-/

Sinking ~a day's worth of NRG and time, I've gone back and (eventually) maxed all of the "easy" <cough, cough> stages. "Interestingly," I've been able to rerun the tiger and amoeba taking no damage and getting max chains, but with damage lower to the point that my original scores remain higher. :-(

So (as of last night), ~88% of possible damage points but dt my wtf damage drop on the last stages, I'm currently stuck at ~97% of possible chaining points and 96% of possible damage not taken points. It only matters insofar as it's yet another annoyance, since particularly with Golem's "bonus" 60% buff f*** even coming close to a #1 finish anyway.

I did the first step, but that's it. 500 lapis for a rainbow is a pretty good deal.

What'dya get?

Wasn't bad. 3rd Red XIII.

Just set my Ibara on slot 5 / nemesis 2. BS set for LB Dragon killer. NF set with gun and bow + barrage, guts and esper fill. Hope it helps if somehow she pops up on your next try.

Thanks. :-) *I* actually KO'd *it* in the above statement, though both my wording and my historical trial performance would certainly support your interpretation, lol. I should have taken Ibara, but figured I'd take my newest shiny for a spin with a friend. So much for "A strong terra can take over 800M damage and a BiS terra can one shot it." </rolls eyes> Also, props for using the base form as a gauge breaker. :-)

Lol I should read more carefully, my english comprehension can be really bad sometimes. I think your wording is fine, my bad. :)
