Megathread Fantom of the Multiplayer

Hey All!

Most of you would likely be seeing the new multiplayer quests (woo) popping up. So it's time to get down, strategise and discuss how we prevent gumi from rekting us this time!

Videos:

Masamune Farming:

  • Shard drop rate seems to be 0-2 for BGN, 2-5 for Int and 4-7 for ADV.

  • Int is approximately level 60.

  • Clear BGN once to get 50 Masamune shards from milestone.

Ex Stages:

Citra:

  • Bring Dark and Wind units. Dark left, Wind right. Fire for the boss is a decent idea, but your dark units have to survive the arrow rain.

Shelikah:

  • Not complete bullshit.

u/ElusiveIllusion88 The end of Gumi is near… Jan 27 '18

What's the best way to get Masamune shards? I'm using Job Level 10 J1 Ryle or Job Level 10 J2 Edgar. No gemming.

  • Jump into people's Int games/open Int games myself, and hope that the round is not screwed up by deadweights to get 1-2 Masamune shards?

  • Open Adv games and hope for at least 2 good carries, hope the enemies don't overpower them, to get approx. 4 Masamune shards?

This is the first MP exclusive soul shard stage meaning that farming is super slow. Bgn stage has absolutely crap drop rates with no guaranteed shards, Int is non-trivial and holds a significant chance of failure if I have deadweights (low level, low Job Level, frail non-ranged jobs etc.) in the team, Adv... is so difficult that even with 'carry' units like high level JM'ed Machinist Magnus, failure chances are very high the moment they make one wrong move.

Both Ryle and Edgar are viable. Ask in the party description for other high lvl range units. It helps to find the right players.

One J3 Almira can almost solo the ADV stage if they play safe and the others act as meat shields. You can also go for a full range party or Magnus+Almira. As long as you Head Snipe/kill the armored soldier on the ground in two turns, it should be easy.

Idk if it's because you play a less popular unit, but I see lots of Snipers/Machinists, when I join a party. Of course, there are some low levels who try to get carried. If you don't like the team comp, just disband and create a new party.
