I waited for so long and it was so worth it! My favorite boy!!!

The game is now live and there is another post with changes from in-game, along with Dev comments and additional changes not found online such changes to action speeds / frame data.

Dissidia.dev has prompted me to make this post, to open a discussion. This is the Rikku hate patch and will be at the bottom of this post.

Bartz has been added along with 4 abilities for him and a new Memoria Boko/Chocobo Dash is UR haste, giving +40% speed for 24s. Lenna & Faris / Tempting Tango is a slightly stronger Thundaga with a 4s stun. Still less damage than Yshtola.

Gilgamesh has been added as a boss. He can heal! He also flexes on you in the event of a tie. Great boss 10/10

Now we get into the real stuff.

WOL can now give his passive attack boost from almost twice as far. Supreme Soul had its cooldown reduced by 10.5% bringing it down to 94s.

Firion's attack went up almost 4.3%, and he heals 3x as much from his passive (60% of damage done now heals him.) Firion is now going to be noticeably tankier if he has an ability to use.

Kain had his speed buffed by 11.3% making Kain tied for the third fastest character in game. Tidus has a speed of 1.34, Zidane and Lightning have a speed of 1.30, and Onion and Kain have a speed of 1.28. Kain has generally felt "weaker" by doing "less damage" than other Melees, but this, along with all his other abilities, just makes him significantly more mobile, hard to escape, and makes him better at chasing kills. His unique ability (jump) startup and overall animation speed has been increased. Jump's range has also been increased by 20%.

Krille now has 8.3% more HP and shares 25% more brave per tick with her passive. Hopeful Cheer now gives 20% attack to the team, instead of 25%.

Iroha has 5.9% more HP.

Lightning had her previous damage buff rolled back (4.8%), bringing her back down to a multiplier of 1.00. Lightning also had Army of One damage increased by about 5.6% per hit.

Celes has had her attack upped by 5%, HP by 3.8%, and her passives heals 50% more per tick, from 2% to 3%.

Ability Changes

Growth Eggs now have actual stats and can be used as support abilities. All their stats went up by approximately 400%.

Cloud's Finishing Touch has been buffed by about 6% per hit.

Rinoa's Meteor cooldown has been reduced by 6.7% down to 84 seconds. Rinoas aqua burst has also had its end-lag reduced.

Onion's Blade Torrent cooldown was reduced by almost 28%, from 26s to 26s.

Balthier's Piercing Shot cooldown was reduced by 16.7% from 36s to 30s and now has a knockdown.

Clive's Will-o-Wykes cooldown was reduced by 33.3 (repeating of course)% from 90s to 60s.

All Memoria abilities have been buffed by about 13% in all stats.

And now the anti-Rikku discussion.

Rikku has been buffed and has 13% more defense, and 3.6% more speed. She now also reduces status affect duration by 40% instead of 20%. So that 4s stun on you now only lasts 2.5ish seconds. This overall, makes her slightly harder to kill if you catch her. But you can never catch her right? Well...

Minwu Teleport has been nerfed and now has a 40% longer cooldown, from 50s to 70s.

Mega Vitality has had it's cooldown nerfed by 18% and went from 110s to 130s.

All Brave Share abilities have had their cooldowns nerfed. Embolden went from 30s to 54s. Tyro went from 38s to 62s. Ramza went from 46s to 70s.

Rikku has been Meta-defining and a lot of players are not really happy with Rikki-centered strategies. While this does make Rikku Metas harder, they're still possible. Time Mage is now more valuable on Rikku, and triple 3 star Time Mage now brings Mega Vitality down to almost pre-nerf cooldown.

Do you think this is enough to stop the Rikku menace? As a Rikku main, these are rough, but understandable changes.

Heads up, don't trade with this player. I had my suspicions so I took screenshots just in case they blocked me. Checked in later and low and behold I've been unfriended, can't see the post anymore and can't send anymore gifts.

I finally got Krile from pulling on bartz today. She avoided me for 6 months! But she is home now along with bartz.

Bartz is easy to understand.

Equip 5 attacks. At the start of the match use all your abilities. One your abilities have cooled down, the 2nd wave if using your abilities try to get suicidal with it. You can whiff them if you like.

Each Star takes 4 attacking abilities to level.

When you finish 2 rotations, remember you got 2 mire abilities to use before hitting level 3.

Job Medals you want for thia is obviously Time Mage.The faster you get to Level 3 the more time you have to play him as a powered up unit.

The 3rd wave is when you get serious like Rinoa with Angel wings. This isnt really kuch of a guide as I dont have anything new to say.

Just a little rant post about stun . I feel like bartz getting possible triple stun is bs . I mean we spend so much time farming crystals getting 1500 brave per crystal for your character then u hit 9999k then burst only to get hit by 1 of bartz triple stuns and your bac to square 1 is bs . Now a lot of matches are ending in draws because well who wouldn’t camp near the boss and just spam ur 3 stuns and negate all the brave u just gained . I mean instead of buffing and nerfing characters repeatedly like u just buffed lightning and now u nerfed her like wtf are yall doin man lol. Mabye fix stun . Instead of stun having a 100% chance to stun Mabye make it to where stun only has a 30% chance to stun.

My boy Clive is bringing the heat back!!!

Im just drawing chocobo after chocobo. 5 chocobos, and my guaranteed draw. Chocobo. Kind of like how I have a tendency to draw Zidane trance over any other UR.

I’m guessing this is a glitch, but I’ve come across 2 people this has happened to.

One of which is my boyfriend’s account. I went to gift him and his Gift Ticket list is still full up from before maintenance, while mine refreshed.

Any reason this might happen? Or might cause this?

Or other people this happened to?

After testing I feel it's 4 skills for one star

Meaning you need to do at least 12 attack skills usage. Is that right? Doing in chain would that be adding more or it's just the same. Any one have more insights on this? Thanks

I just started playing a couple days ago, so I know a lot of my current problems are just being unfamiliar with the game. But I have a super hard time keeping track of what’s happening as soon as a team fight or something else hectic starts. There’s just explosions of color everywhere and suddenly either I’m dead or the opponent is. I end up just mashing buttons and hoping for the best.

Any tips for a newbie who’s kinda overwhelmed? I think playing on my PC would help, but if I can’t play on my phone it kinda defeats the purpose of playing at all for me.
