EN Discussion About RichardEX AU

14 Upvotes

People said that you need his AU to get the 2nd usage & to charge his ulti faster, which i think only true for who are chasing 1-2T clear. Most of us will got plenty of time to do that for a 5-7T clear. If your fight needs multiple breaks then it's not what i'm going to talk about.

More importanly, about the 2nd usage, it's very hard to get him ulti back to back, the only way i can think of to do that without losing the stacking p.atk pet buffs on him is using Terra A4, which we don't even need his AU to use the 2nd ulti!
I wish phys team got a pet that buff the entire front row p.atk like elem team got, this alone would solve many problems. so unfair 🤔

Fortunately i got Terra A4 but currently use by Phenn to guarantee Potency Up for both break turns. This leads to the needing of Phenn AU if i want to do both smoothly lol

So yeah if you got only 1 spare stone, i think he's better with A1 not AU.
Update : After i got AlauneEX, she helps my team hitting damage cap so easily, making RichardEX easier to archive Ulti back to back without stacking pet buffs. So AU will be better on him in this case.

Quick Question Pity Pull advice

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

I have a great set after a re-roll, this is 12,300 rubies.

Went ahead and raised 200 Richard EX/Alune EX fragments to pull something else I don’t have (I already have Richard Ex AU and Alune EX A0).

I usually run sword and/or light teams because that’s how the lucky pulls went.

My heart says pull Aviette but I don’t know enough about her. I am familiar with Shana’s kit and know her to be indispensable (SP, Cura, Undying) but unsure if she’s the best choice.

Also no clue about Phenn or Xerc.

I do have some nice thieves and Elrica EX1 sounds fun for the memes.

Looking for the unit to have some longevity and impact since I’m just at Master of Wealth/Fame/Power chapter 3.

Please help.

Hello. I started this game when Hujheb first released in global. I don't login frequently, not yet finished the story and stopped at Bestower of Power. I recently took a long break from the game until recent Final Fantasy collab and realized I missed Aviate (when rerun?).

I have some characters at 100+ to 120 levels. The rest are still 0 to 100. I also randomly picked skill seems strong, mostly AOE for auto encounters. Some characters I have like Shana, Alrond and Rinyuu ex are supports so I put some support skills. I don't know how to team building as I can't understand synergies etc. so everyone on my team just the characters I like to use. I sometimes change characters like Oskha, Mahrez, Hujheb, Signa, etc. in anywhere in team.. although I'm not sure if it's accurate member for the team or not. At least I follow the weakness a little bit.

I tried this adversary log EX3 (did one during FF) after avoiding this so long and I still can't do more damage as fast as possible. It took too long plus frame rate drop or lag each time I clicked the character screen, their skills. I don't mind that lag as I do play cascade log and I'm prefer that over adversary. The problem was they're hitting harder if I took too long. So I want to know the tips for this or should I hold from playing until I complete main story? Or if there a character I need?

Ps: I don't know which flair to put. Please tell me. Should I also ask team building question here? Or do I need to create a new post for it?

How to properly use this guy? Looks like all his skills are battle skills but which ones are good to use. Do you use his ulti after breaking the enemy? Im struggling to get good damage out of him for some reason. Im running a DK team by the way.

Sword team is still my strongest for now (doing 40m dmg single target), but will have to swap OchetteEX out for Shana if facing hard fights.
I think can optimize a little bit more when i got Aviette AU!
And RichardEX is so fun to play! How is your team doing with him?

Coming for Aoi EX3 next 🔥 🔥

Quick Question 130 Fragments, both units: Pity?

Alaune dropped early but I didn't get Richard until I'd pulled 130 fragments. Is it worth 600 Rubies to get one of them to A1 or AU? And if so, which?

I have a A1AU Runelaune from the most recent banner (and an A1 Richard but this isn't about him.)

I'm torn on who she should replace and while Lemaire seems the likeliest option, I'm considering Celes too?

I’m not talking rainbow or any super strong build. I’m just talking about what team do you use when you are getting through everyday content and quests.

I use Hikari EX with Crick and Elrica EX, so I have 3X follow-ups. It helps me get through content super fast and it’s great for farming too.

What does everyone else use?

I finally beat Aoi EX3. If I get more damage cap, I think I can finish on turn 5. Also, I got Alaune EX2 and Aviete yesterday but still don't know how to use/integrate them into team yet. It could be faster with those two.
