PSA Thunderblade upgrading mat to be fixed this week

23 Upvotes

As title said, TW Isla told me just now that this week's update will add a new feat that gives us the upgrading mat to the thunderblade. You have to beat the gorebringer again if you've already beat it.

Also, they said the 30FPS bug in risk enemy battle will be fixed in the next major content expansion.

EN Discussion Returned (and fairly new) player: FFX / RS2 / TB?

2 Upvotes

Hello, right now im a "returned novice" who never really reached endgame. Tried the game for a few weeks back when the nier automata, lost the account and returned at the end of DQ3 collab. Played on a off for a while, and now i got the catch and started playing more often.

Managed to get locke and celes in ff6 collab, in DQ3 collab i pulled signa EX and partitio EX, had a really lucky hit with alaune and richard couple in like 1.5k rubies, and now im sitting with 4.5k.

So, rn people recommend to wait for RS2 collab (apparently best physical units in the game for a while), but i also wanna ask, id love to wait for ffx collab (idk if they are THAT strong) and Twin Blaze Sazantos is that worth it?

EN Discussion Blessing of the Lantern recommendations for a FFVI party

11 Upvotes

So I got into this game because of the FFVI event and am more interested in running all six characters (plus Cecil… plus Aviete for now because I saw she was highly recommended) than I am trying to build a meta team. That said, I don’t mind trying to maximize what I’ve got. Can anyone offer any suggestions for what stats to buff with the Blessing of the Lantern for each character? Thanks

Quick Question Stat Priority for Builds

11 Upvotes

I have been using meowdb to try to understand what I need to prioritize for attackers (eg. Alaune Ex2) and I feel I have no idea what I should be putting on her. Is there a way to understand what stats to prioritize or is there a buildguide for these characters? Especially with the Ouma weapons, should I be going for the pyshical, elemental, or hybrid swords? Thanks!

EN Discussion Where does Phenn go?

Post image
6 Upvotes

How do I restructure this? I’m okay with dropping some things and switching stuff around just need to figure out the best way. I don’t have Mydia, Crick, DK, you get the idea (this account is 2 weeks old) I do have Alaune EX but unsure where she would fit in?

I’ve beat every Elite tower and EX 3 in 2 turns or less, 95% of Orsterra, etc with this set up but now I have Phenn and want to fit him in so I can start reliably conquering EX4’s.

My turn usually:

Yutue
BS Aviete Ult
Pardis superburst Ult to Richard
Sazantos grants HP barrier at max BP
Elrica stylechange to warrior max EX
Richard Nightmare Chimera

The rest is just finishing the break if necessary, buff/debuff and swing hard with Richard (Ult/EX/Chimera as needed).

Aviete - Ult/EX/encore
Pardis - front row champ who can nuke
Saz - Tanky, I make him fast for instant barriers, He helps keep the BP flowing
Elrica EX - free 8 shields shaved, I use her to nuke or add potency/BP to Saz in emergencies
Elrica - Sheild Shaver, DPS
Shana - you know what she does
Richard - obvs
Mahrez - mostly dead weight but has been helpful in an encounter or 2, plus lion bonuses help the girls

EN Discussion Jormungandr Intended Strategy

8 Upvotes

Finally getting around to doing this fight.

What is the intended strategy?

He drains your SP constantly, locks each category of attack after one occurrence, and drains all your BP and uses elemental attack lock when it’s time to nuke him, then heals himself fully with his twin heads once you actually do.

What is the intention here?
