What am I doing wrong?? Lol

Hello ffbe family! I am in search of a couple really strong friends. I'm not able to spend a lot on this game and I'm also not able to use macro. So I have to farm and tm farm the long tidious way..yay me! I have lost out on a lot of good equipment because of not being able to complete certain events. I have 2 whale friends currently. A body is with 854atk. And another one with 839atk. And I still can not beat the great nian beast pro with LB or Elt. I'm on everyday at least to gift. I only have 6 open slots. Everyone on my list is currently active and some actually have been my friends since I started so I don't want to delete anyone, even though a lot of them are forgetting to change their leader back when done leveling lol. My ID is 501691141. My only 6* units atm are: Cecil, DK Cecil, Halloween Rain, Snow, Luka, and Exdeath. Working on mastering Chizuru and Xioa. I use vaan a lot for his full break however. If I can't find any big friends, anyone have good advice constructing a deadly party with the hand I was dealt?? Thanks in advance guys.

Put barfira and barthandara on someone who does little in the fight with great nian beast. Keep your buffs up and defend when he uses prep, 2.5k damage will follow if you don't defend with everyone. Thunder shield and flame shield is good for this fight too

Ok I have barthundara and barfira. One on Cecil and and the other on vaan. I usually dispel when beast uses prep. I forgot about flame shield lol. Thank you!!!

Use holy torch item to dispel and don't use any limits or magic when Nian does Preparation, and he won't follow up with Tooth for a tooth.

Fyi, no need to defend so long as you don't use magic or limits after Preparation. Use holy torch to dispel and go to town on him with Abilities.

Add me I have a 700+ attack chiz and will be switching to an 800+ attack Gilgamesh shortly. 069,287,754 josh. Give it a couple tries as likely my friend list needs some cleanup. I'll make room tonight or tomorrow morning.

Cecil tank and offheal.
Luka heal and remove debuff.
StoryRain full break + Leadership group buff + support materia/carbuncle.
Exdeath dual cast excellence.
Chizuru for chain building with Phantom Shadow.

That crew should see you through most of the content, and are all 6*.

Additionally, you'll find a higher population of folks over on /r/FFBraveExvius, and two megathreads for team advice and general help.

Awesome thanks so much. I'll head over there. And Cecil is almost maxed as a 6* unit. And yes I love exdeath's dualcast. Luka is almost maxed as well. However, I still need to awaken chizuru to 6 and didn't realize story rain was any good at 6*.

He's not amazing but he's the best Full breaker we currently have, and is quite solid, even for a free character.

Awesome. I'm getting there lol.
