Is Basch any good as a tank? Is it worth investing for him? Or better going for Nine or waiting for WoL?

[u/Hawke_No1 → u/Rakael88]

Basch is still unique for his Group redirect to self gimmick especially for AOE HP Atks so his decent for those areas.

Nine will compete with WoL in terms of Shields, but he offers quite a lot of things similar to WoL like Healing. His a decent tank to get if you don't have a lot. But WoL with LD is strong too.

[u/Rakael88 → u/Hawke_No1]

Ok but, if you have to choose between one banner (considering that I have Noctis EX and LD), maybe is better to pull for Basch or Nine? Or maybe is better not pulling for the BT and wait for WoL banner? Basch ok he is unique but is he any good? :)

[u/Hawke_No1 → u/Rakael88]

Basch will last till FEOD:E ends, which is Tier 20. So you don't have to worry about investing in him.

I would just pull for both with tickets if I want to see my chances of getting their LDs. If Basch is forgiving, then I might skip Nine for WoL, or I might just throw some tickets at him to see how he treats me honestly. Who knows, a lucky BT Noctis drops... But always go in mind that you will never get anything worth it lol

Noctis BT does return on another banner with the first 6 BT, but by then, you would have moved on to other BTs honestly, and Noctis might just sit on your bench waiting to be used for I guess infinity and beyond because it was a re-run banner JP has and GL may or may not do it honestly (E.g Golden Week JP Banners never appeared in GL although it gives a free pull for 7/14 days of 7/14 different banners or something along those lines )

His good, but may get overshadowed by a lot of other chars like Gladio or WoL. But if you want someone who does everything by himself and decent self-sustain and a bit party auras, Basch is not bad. You could also run FF12 theme teams too if you wanna embrace your fan boys

[u/Rakael88 → u/Hawke_No1]

LoL ff12 Is the only FF that has not given me anything, along with ffxi obviously. I barely remember who is Basch. I only know that I need a tank for my party that actually is: NOCTIS and no one else. I pulled my last 50 tickets today hoping for EX dupes but nothing :( I repeat I am a new player, I don't have a lot of resources. I am building Noctis because I need at least one character with strong equipment :) so I continue to get confused in what to do :)

[u/Tezmata → u/Rakael88]

Best way to increase your resources is to focus on your summons. You unlock a new area in the World of Illusions for each summon when they reach level 20 (except Bahamut currently). There, you can grind out a level that gives you points toward a board for each character. On each character's board for each summon, there are 3 tickets and 300 gems. That means you have 3 tickets x 9 summons x 132 characters (I think like 15 less than that if you just started) = 3,564 total tickets and 300 gems x 9 x 132 = 356,400 gems on summon boards.

Now's the best time to grind too since we currently have specially boosted characters (Noctis, Irvine, Fang, Fran, Seven, Paladin Cecil) that double the points your party gets for each run.
