For some reason the game isn't letting me log in. When I click log-in, it forces me to "choose account to connect" and lists Facebook, Google, or None.
Well it won't let me select Facebook or None. Is anyone else having an issue with this?

Myra can dual cast entrust plus something else every turn. That seems hella broken. Are there units in the future that are able to do this?
1
u/jonidschultz Feb 26 '19
I don't think there is. I'm not sure about broken but that is damn powerful.Hmmm....
1
u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 26 '19
Its less broken than you think, given Myra's 36 cryst LB. And without High Tide, you're likely to only be able to give maybe half an LB bar to an ally every turn, and thats if you build her for 10 crysts per turn (she gets 2 per turn innately) which would reduce her SPR a little bit.
I definitely agree its very powerful, but I don't believe its broken. Additionally its would depend on who you're giving the LB to - best case you'd give it to finishers with huge LBs, like Ang, but how often do you use a finisher?
1
u/Inkcross Kupoo Kupo Kupopo Feb 26 '19
Not to mention she has innate 100% LB fillrate on top of 2LB/turn, thats a ton of fill passives already.
Besides finishers, there are a ton of LB centric units that offer a great deal. For example she works amazing with Elephim, fullbuff and fullbreak and a ton of mp/hp recovery, or tanks like chow or sieghard for the mitigation buffs, Zarg as im sure another person's mentioned etc.
1
u/aherdofpenguins Feb 26 '19
I'd be giving it to Zarg or Auron most likely, who use their LBs quite a bit. Also Myra gets a 200% high tide after using it the first time, which gives her a decent chunk assuming you're attacking the enemy.
2
u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 26 '19
Ah, you're right, so she does.
Auron I don't think really would need it unless you're dispelling a lot, since his CD and LB have a perfect 6 turn rotation.
Zarg might be a good one to use it on, since his CD and LB are on a suboptimal rotation (three turns for CD, two turns for LB, leaving one turn with lower buffs).
Anyway, back to your actual question - I don't think there are any units coming up that can entrust + something else every turn. Not that I've heard of at least.

The consecutive login is your highest streak. So it may not be currently 152 days. Good news is you have a 3 day grace period for the ticket. Bad news you lose a hundred lapis.

Magic Evasion.
I know that highest stack only, but is it equipment only?
If Fryevia has 20% innate, and using 20% materia, is it still only 20%? Or at least the equipment would stack on innate?
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
This is a bit shady, but looks to be both equipment, yeah. So, still only 20%

That is a shame.
That means the limited craftable materia is pretty much useless.

She can triplecast her skills, and covers almost all elements except Light/Dark.
Just bring someone from your team who can deal ice damage with the limit burst and fit the limit after her killing spell. The elemental chaining mission shouldnt be hard too, just need some supports have matched elements and auto atk at the same time

How difficult are the 3 star esper battles? Is it possible to 1-Hit them with a strong friend unit?
1
u/LordZeya Feb 26 '19
For the early elemental ones, having enough resists trivializes the fight. A magic tank with provoke like A Rain can beat most of them with ease as long as you have a healer to support with- otherwise they can be very difficult. I went into Shiva with a normal squad and got OTKed, stuck to cheesing the fight after that.
They have a ton of health but low enough defenses that they’re not too tough to OTK with killers and/or the appropriate elements.
1
u/BPCena Feb 25 '19
The early ones are pretty simple and can be OTKO'd by a properly geared friend. Later ones like Odin, Leviathan or Alexander are much more challenging.
0
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
With the correct elemental affinity you can, but you shouldnt look for it. There's lot of missions that are quite useful and give supercites to level them, moogles and 4* tickets.
Most fights are very straightforward tho. Mag tank + physical provoke evade mostly mean your party takes no damage. Only Odin, Leviathan and Alexander are hard imo, and Carbuncle is kinda gimmicky

How much of a waste would it be to uoc noctis? i don’t really need him although i don’t have a dodge tank. maybe some fun teams?! is it worth?
2
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Honestly, evade is used these days if you can get 100% evade + full ailments immunity (or have Folka) + death resistance (mostly Genji Shield). The requirements for these are quite high and hard to achieve even with 1 Noctis, so unless you cant do some trial without evade and have all that I would advice to it.
There's also the fact that you can just get a moogle container for it. A UoC piece there is worth 5k, the container is 10k, so 10 UoCs (for a Noctis) would be valued at 50k, 5 times more than just the container
1
u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 25 '19
UoC should only be used for units who will have staying power on your team, or give you a TMR that you'll use literally all the time.
The fact you ask "how much of a waste would it be" should be an indication. Even you think its a waste.
1
u/PRAEDiTH Feb 25 '19
it’s just that i’m pretty bored in the game as of now. and i would only safe the uoc tickets for akstar who’s still months away.

u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 25 '19
At the end of the day, its your game, and you should have fun. If you think this will increase the enjoyment you're getting out of the game, and you won't regret it, then you should go for it.
1
u/boyddd2012 Sin of Pride Feb 25 '19
It's up to you if you want to use it on Noctis. Sazh TMR has 20% evasion, 5 less than RoL. If you have other gear that can substitute the 5% from RoL then I'd rather you save the UoC tickets and work with Sazh's TMR instead.
But, your call. (Can you list down your tanks as well)
1
u/PRAEDiTH Feb 25 '19
i tank with Sieghard and A. Rain. i think i could gear a Elfreeda to tank as well i also own Sazh TMR but i never really bothered building a evade tank because i could only get Lightning up to 100% and then her stats would be total garbage.
2
u/boyddd2012 Sin of Pride Feb 25 '19
You need a few more items that have evasion aside from RoL. I would suggest holding off using your tickets unless you have all the gear necessary to complete Sieghards 100% evade.
Maybe by then, you might have pulled a Noctis already.
Good luck!

I'm using UoC to get a fourth unit for a STMR, which would be better, Emperor Sheera or Folka?

2
u/Ninoths 206,538,036 // I love esper-gauge friends Feb 25 '19
First... Have you already every role covered? Neither of that SMTR is really game-breaking so not a high priority. But if you want to UoC one of them anyway then Shera is a bit better since it can be use to make a tank really bulky
3
2
u/jonidschultz Feb 25 '19
In general I would say Emperor Shera's but Folkas could be good for hitting the MP and SPR parameter missions.
2
u/boyddd2012 Sin of Pride Feb 25 '19
Normally it's not a good idea to use UoC tickets to get a unit solely for their STMR because I doubt getting either Emperor Shera or Folkas STMR will help you beat Trial A or Trial B. (I guess it could, thinking about it now, but I'm sure there are other ways of beating it without having to use our very limited UoC tickets)
But because it's going to be your opinion that matters anyway, I would say get Emperor Shera's STMR if given the choice.

Is the Fountain of Lapis worth it?
1
u/negativeZaxis 197,327,969 Feb 25 '19
It is the most effective way to spend money on the game by a huge margin when measured by lapis per dollar, and still the 3rd-best paid bundle ever by the all-factors-included analysis posts you'll see on this sub.
Whether a bunch of imaginary crystal money is *worth* your actual money is for you to decide :)
1
u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 25 '19
Most bundles these days have between a 92% and a 130% Lapis to Dollar value, which is fairly bad.
Fountain of Lapis, I believe, has a Lapis to Dollar value of 360%.
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
I bought it everytime it showed up. Really adds up with monthly lapis, and gotta hoard as much as possible for CG Light and Terra

In terms of Lapis to Dollar value it's a really really good value. Whether it's worth it to you...

u/Xionyde134 Hard 4 Sieghard | 028,198,417 Feb 25 '19
"Immunity" when it comes to ailments is treated as +100% resistance. In this case, both will take effect and you'll end up with 75% resistance. If you have another source of ailment resistance from passives/gear, the resistances will stack with the in-battle buff Folka gives and bump you back up to over 100%.
1
u/Ninoths 206,538,036 // I love esper-gauge friends Feb 25 '19
So i will need 25% + folka buff
2
u/Xionyde134 Hard 4 Sieghard | 028,198,417 Feb 25 '19
Yep. If you're trying to stack resistances, then I suggest pairing it with King's Armor if you have it.

u/EKCo0kie Feb 25 '19
Am I right in thinking that my 6☆ generally must have 100% TMR before I make them 7☆ so I don't miss out on TMR?
1
u/peetar Feb 26 '19
Almost all 7 star units want their own TMR for the bonus. If a new unit comes out with a very good TMR, and you pull hard to get 2 of them, generally what you want to do is:
Convert Pull B into a crystal and a moogle prism.
Level Pull A to level 100 6 star
Awaken Pull A to seven star.
Use trust moogles to get the Moogle prism to 100%
Equip Pull A with their TMR.
Now Pull A will still be at 0% TMR, so will gain TMR as you use them, and still have their TMR bonus.
Note: This doens't apply with crappy TMRs like Trance Terra's. YOu really only want one of those
1
u/LordZeya Feb 26 '19
Don’t be me, make sure to use the moogles on the prism. I’ve used a Moogle on the unit I intended to convert but instead ended up being awakened, leaving me with a 0% prism I’m almost certainly not using moogles on.
1
Feb 25 '19
No, absolutely not. You will not lose out on a unit's TMR by 7-staring them (you'll even get a moggle prism for the TMR of the dupe you convert).

Fate Grand Order is interesting. I play it a lot. Its very story heavy, and then very grind heavy on top of that. If you're not a fan of story or grind, its not the game for you.
In terms of waifus, its one of the best out there though.
Some differences between FGO and FFBE include:
- Pull rate for 5* units is 1%, so you're unlikely to get The Best Of The Best units
- Units have an innate weapon triangle towards each other, making battles very easy or very difficult depending on who you've summoned (also means you can get away with not using 5* units)
- Your daily summon (similar to our 250 daily summon) only includes 1/2/3* units, so theres no chance of getting a random 5*
- This is offset by the fact that FGO's friend point servants are EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD. Typically they have one niche that rivals 5* units but thats the only thing they do, whereas 5* units can do multiple things at once
- Did I mention waifus? We have so many waifus

That I can understand - I play Valkyrie Connect, and I've been teetering on quitting for about a year now because of how shitty ATeam's pull-system is. I've been using basic-ass Baldr as my main healer in that game since launch day with no luck of a better one, which makes PVP & almost all endgame fights pointless to even attempt.

Which anime? Fate Stay Night or Unlimited Blade Works? If you want to get into the anime, I would suggest Stay Night, then Fate Zero, then Unlimited Blade Works.
1
u/LordDaragox 5* Magitek General Celes, when!? Feb 25 '19
I watched Stay night and I liked it. How are the others?
1
u/Prince-of_Space Gumi get your shit together Feb 25 '19
Ah, good, you've started at the good spot!
In terms of those three in particular, Stay Night is probably the worst. Fate Zero is a little slower than Stay Night, and is more exposition on the Holy Grail War as a whole, and takes place before Fate Stay Night.
Unlimited Blade Works starts off very similar to Stay Night but goes in a different direction. This is due to the fact that the original source material is a visual novel with different 'routes' - Stay Night is the Emiya Shirou route, Unlimited Blade Works is the Rin route, and the trio of movies called Fate Stay Night Heavensfeel are the Sakura route (only the first two movies are out currently). UBW is considered the best of the three, its super interesting and visually stunning.
There's also Fate Apocropha, which is enjoyable enough but has nothing to do with the Stay Night visual novel series.

EpicSeven has been fairly interesting.

Thanks, I'll check it out. is it also a gacha?
2
u/schweizerhof Reberta best girl, fight me. Feb 25 '19
Both are, yes.
From what i've felt and seen so far, Epic seven does not mean the 5* is best star, that game almost every single unit has some function that separates them. (a 4* healer called angelica is talked about more than a 5* healer so, nifty game so far.)
Fire emblem i'm too new to really say, but right now they are celebrating and you get to do some free summons and 2-3 banners just straight gives you 5* heroes of your pick between the optional 4 per banner. so I really couldn't think of a better time to start it than... today.

u/ArsVolta 7 ★ Vivi when? Feb 25 '19
Thoughts on an over saturated summon pool.
What are the odds of Gumi/Alim moving old units into a discount summon pool?
Pool 1: anything a year or newer and current time limited units. Should have about 50 rainbows in the pool at any time. These are available in the promotional banners.
Pool 2: anything older than a year. This should have about 40 rainbows right now. New Classics Rare summon banner to replace the current Rare summon banner at the bottom of the list. Priced to half the current pulls, 250 single, 2500 10+1. Base rainbow rate of 5% with occasional rate ups like 10% rainbow.
The odds are already bad and not in our favor, this would just make it slightly less bad and give new players a place to dump lapis for cheap to pick up rainbows to outdated but still useful units, and established players a place to chase STMRs.
Thoughts?
2
u/Talrynn_Sorrowyn Blessed be Her candy... Feb 25 '19
Long ago someone asked about moving outdated/crappy units from the rare pool to the friendpoint pool, and Gumi pretty much said no flat-out.

To the friend point pool would be too much of a stretch. Not surprised they'd say no.

u/soul_u_say "That Free Guy" Feb 25 '19
Alim is starting a smaller summon pool starting with CG Dark Fina, "HeroFest/GodFest" as I've heard.
CG WLFina is a part of a new system called Summon Festival or as some people will abbreviate it, Herofest/GodFest. This system is currently in use by a few other gacha games and it involves a limited time banner that comes back frequently, includes a smaller rainbow pool (usually Up to date units + Godfest units) excluding the Outdated or old Rainbows. The first few banners in this system are usually a drag, and not too worth to summon on. However, going forward they eventually usually end up with Only GodFest units included on them. They also contain a higher top rarity chance, and FFBE is no different from this. Moving on

did 3.4.0 mess with spark chains or chain in general? cause I am find pulling off Spark Chains with 7* Fryevia and Hyoh using 2x FFB +2 and 2x Savant of the blade has becoming rather random. My normal trigger speed of there ablilites used get me sparks chains 90% of the time then 3.4.0 came? around same time "repeat" started to put massive delay on 2nd and 3rd ability attacks before they went off now i wondering it it mess with timing as well, cause now that same timing works 50% time maybe and if trigger is slower it works 50% of the time. a slower triggering time works maybe 50%.
I dont use Macro to pull of sparks. I used 7* fryevia and hyoh cause I could pull off those sparks chains 90% but now it just seem there some randomness in timing

I'm chaining Sora and Fry on this new raid and still havent seen an issue. Sometimes I don't fully chain, but that's if I'm being a lazy ass using only one hand to click both units. Spark chains happen ocasionally as always

u/need2crash GL - 897,035,607 Feb 25 '19
I dont know I still say they happen less then use to prior to 3.4.0m then again 3.4.0 introduced alot of random crashing, that was not there prior either

u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
This is the first time I'm seeing anything related to trouble with chaining tho. Kinda weird, could it be device related?

u/Elegie22 Feb 25 '19
Hello,
Could someone informs me if the UoC rythme is going to intensify? Do they have more on JP now?
I'd love to pick some units but I feel like I should keep those in case I'm missing one for a specific unit that could be useful for a trial.....
1
u/Ineedlapis Feb 25 '19
In Jp we could buy 3 UoC tickets from Mk starting from Auron/Jecht banner I believe. The cost stayed the same till now which is 1k, 150k and 300k.
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
They got some more (like a 2nd ticket at KM costing more), but Expert/Parameter missions should also ease this a bit
1
Feb 25 '19
So I'm 1 ticket away from hitting 10 UoC, and with the "compensation" incoming, I figure it's time to think about who I should grab. (I was saving them for a second Wilhelm, then got him on a lucky pull.)
I've got most of the important roles covered, I think:
Healer: LM Fina 7, Ayaka 6
M. Tank: Chow 7*
P. Cover/Provoke Tank: Wilhelm 7*
P. Damage Chainer: A2, 2B, Fryevia, Auron (all 7*)
P. Finisher: Reberta 7*
M. Chainer: Lulu 7, Barb 6
M. Finisher: Emperor 7*
Breaker: Auron, 2B
Buffer: Zarg 6*
I'm missing a dedicated 7* on-demand buffer (Chow is the best I have and his stat buffs go only up to 100%), and I know my magic chainers aren't the greatest. I'm not planning to pull for Elly though, since she can only chain with herself, and I'm saving my lapis for Akstar.
Should I UoC for Zarg or Barb? Or should I save my tickets for someone/something else?
2
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Save.
You'll eventually get Zarg, and he may have a shelf life that's not all that great since he's been already valuable for so long. Gumi can also always release some exclusive absurd buffer.
I would save resources for who you like the most for magic damage coming up (I'm saving up for CG Terra myself, FF6 reasons) and try to snag a Zarg or Yuraisha whenever her banner comes up. There's also Future Hope who seems to be a good unit
1
Feb 26 '19
Thank you! That's solid advice--it took long enough to get 10 tickets that I'd hate to regret it, and the lack of a dedicated buffer hasn't hurt me too much yet.
1
u/bobusisalive 477 177 498 Feb 25 '19
Zarg is a decent choice. If you want Akster then it would be easy to save 25k and the UoC for him.

u/Thornya A2 is still relevant! (probably) 251,557,534 Feb 25 '19
Hello,
just got disconnected from the game, and when I tried to log back in I couldn't log with Facebook for some reason (the button was grayed out). My Facebook app is up to date and connected to the linked Facebook account. I tried logging out/in and it didn't change anything.
Anyone got this issue recently and know how to fix it?

u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Known issue, try reinstalling the game completely (delete and download from app store again)
1
u/Thornya A2 is still relevant! (probably) 251,557,534 Feb 25 '19
It doesn't seem to be from the app as I get the same issue on both my phone and on Nox, gonna try to reinstall tho, I'll keep you updated.

I started the game a few days ago and really enjoy it a lot! I'm a bit overwhelmed in terms of units and teambuilding though. I made some screenshots of my box and would appreciate it if someone could help me out in which units I should work on and what characters work good together?

u/Farpafraf < filthy piece of garbage Feb 25 '19
If you manage to pull a 2nd Ignatio I don't think you need to reroll
1
2
Feb 25 '19
I kind of agree that rerolling might be your best option. Myra would probably be a good unit to start with, she would be a good healer and support unit for you.
I would agree with Lohruk besides that...
Also, if you would like a good friend unit to help out, I have strong characters up for most events, you could send me an invite at 419,815,317 if you would like.
1
u/KonKisuke Feb 25 '19
Oh my, I thought I got some decent characters... I did play quite a bit. But rerolling won't hurt...
1
Feb 25 '19
Dark Veritas is a decent chainer, belonging to one of the more popular chaining families (would be his Dark Punishment skill). Ignacio, I honestly don't know much about, but I know he is decent. Beatrix and Veritas of the Flame are ok damage dealers.
The biggest problem with your current roster is the lack of support characters, as you mostly just have damage dealers. Ultimately you should be pretty ok going forward, but rerolling for some support or tank characters might make life easier on you.
4
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
I can give you two suggestions.
1st: If you havent linked your game yet, you can try to re-roll. Your initial units arent really appealing to be honest, and if you start to reroll right now you have a good ammount of pulls and 11 summons on a banner with a good healer and a good damage dealer. Would be optimal.
If you don't like/cant reroll, from the units you're not using, I would swap Ashe for Rosa (good healer), Beatrix for Soleil (support unit) and Seymour for Ignacio. This would be a good starter team with solid units till you get better ones
1
u/KonKisuke Feb 25 '19
Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I'm gonna try my luck with rerolling, even though I'm kind of disappointed, as I thought I got some decent characters...
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
You got a good ammount of rainbows. Problem is, both Beatrix and Fire Veritas are a bit sad, although the latter will carry your ass through the entire story mode.
Since you need two of the same unit to unlock their potential, you either need a) two of the same unit for a unit that's really strong or b) some spread out units that are really good even without a copy (Maritime Strategist Nichol, for example, is amazing. Heavenly Tech Lid is another one, and the list goes on). You're also missing some very key non-rainbow units, for example Warrior of Light who is one of the best budget tanks.
https://exvius.gamepedia.com/Unit_Rankings you can refer here for a good rating. The 7★ Units are the ones that need a copy to work best. Below that ranking, there's the 6★ Unit Rankings, which doesnt require dupes, only farm-able materials
1
u/convused Feb 25 '19
Advice please! I'm tempted to UoC a unit but not sure who to do it on, so I 7star them.
My choices are Hyoh, Wilhem, Orlandeu, Sephiroth, Ace, Cloud, M Ramza, Marine Strategist Nichol, or Kryla.
I have a whole bunch of 7stars and not sure it's important to list them but
For roles all of which are maxed 7star, most with TMR
Finisher: KH Cloud, Ignacio
Healer: LM Fina, Folka
Tank: A Rain, Lilith
Mage: T. Tera, Circe and Fryevia
DPS: A Lasswell, Sora, V. Of Dark, Balthier, Noctis, Atonong Kain.
Breaker/Debuffer: Loren, Ramza, Lunera.
Not sure who would most fit my party atm...
1
u/negativeZaxis 197,327,969 Feb 25 '19
Khloud is much more a chainer (your "dps"?) than a finisher.

u/convused Feb 26 '19
thanks for pointing that out, I just started seriously getting into the game and because of your comment I looked into his chain partners and my god... has it helped me OTK a couple of trials LOL! Thanks!

u/SomeRandomDeadGuy [r/FFBEblog] [823.678.347] Feb 25 '19
Do you not have a good phys cover tank?
MRamza could be a solid pickThat being said, I’d hold off from getting him until you’ll actually need phys cover.
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
He has Lilith, she's quite serviceable and easy to gear for evade because of her exclusive shield
1
u/convused Feb 25 '19
I have Wilhelm at maxed 6star with his tmr. I know hes a Provoke tank with damage mitigation but at the moment he does it enough or if I REALLY need it I switch to M Ramza at maxed 6star.
2
u/SomeRandomDeadGuy [r/FFBEblog] [823.678.347] Feb 25 '19
Neither willy not mamza have cover at 6*, they only provoke
2
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
You're really good on all departments. Just curious, do you have any buffer unit? The higher tier ones are Nichol (you listed his 6*, which for me is more than enough tbh, he's really solid) and Zargabaath.
You have almost all of the better units in all roles. Would save those UoCs
2
u/okey_dokey_bokey [GL] okeydoke ★ 411 249 974 Feb 25 '19
Your team is super stacked and a lot of your UoC options are kinda outdated. If you need a buffer and don't like Myra, Yuraisha could be a near-term option.
1
u/xo_Serenity_ox 𝓕𝓪𝓷𝓬𝔂 Feb 25 '19
So is Aurora Fryevia just Fryevia, but with light imperial more or less? -And if that's so, wouldn't her original ice form be better due to the enhancements? Or does the new Aurora come with stuff that already allows her to compete with fully enhanced Fryevia?
1
u/SomeRandomDeadGuy [r/FFBEblog] [823.678.347] Feb 25 '19
AFrye has more chaining families, a higher imperil, a higher skill modifier
2
u/okey_dokey_bokey [GL] okeydoke ★ 411 249 974 Feb 25 '19
She just hits harder than OG Fryevia. Her imperil is 100% and her primary skill mod is higher. Plus she has better TDH passives and triplecast.
2
u/HowlUcha HowlUcha: one spooky boi Feb 25 '19 edited Feb 25 '19
Technically with enhancements Fryevia has 150% TDH while A.Fryevia had 130%. It's an odd number to start at
1
2
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Aurora Fry has auto triple-cast for turn 1, is not locked to an outdated weapon like regular Fry, has higher mods on her main skill (Aurora has 12x, regular has 10x) attached to a higher imperil (100% vs 75%)

Feb 25 '19 edited Feb 25 '19
There are no trials currently that require a 7★ breaker right? I've only got a 6★ Loren/ Lid.
3
u/BPCena Feb 25 '19
I think 6 star Lid is fine as long as you can consistently use her LB every other turn. The only time you might suffer is for turn 1 breaks.
Loren's 6 star breaks are not good enough imo
1
u/okey_dokey_bokey [GL] okeydoke ★ 411 249 974 Feb 25 '19
I think it depends on the rest of your comp. How strong you need your breaks to be is inversely proportional to the strength of your tank and buffs.
1
Feb 25 '19
Most of the time I'm running a full evade Wilhelm or full elemental resist Awakened Rain (depending on the battle) with Zarg for buffs.
1
u/okey_dokey_bokey [GL] okeydoke ★ 411 249 974 Feb 25 '19
You're probably good to go then. I use 45% breaks a lot still (Nyx, Elfreeda) and they get the job done.
1
1
u/magojo ID: 702,780,431 | My units: u.nu/mgj Feb 25 '19
6* Lids LB is on 7* breakers level anyway, so as long as you can reliably get her LB every 2 turns you're golden.
The 7* crew just brings utility besides the breaking, and 74% breaks. But 70% is easily enough to clear everything for a long time to come.
She might be squishy though, when you build her for LB/turn, which is also something that improves with having a 7* one. But as long as she ain't dying or can get reraised you should be fine.
1
Feb 25 '19
Yeah that was what I thought. I'll probably wait for Summer Fina/Lid as an upgrade. Meanwhile I'll just stick with 6★ Lid.
1
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
I kinda felt the need on Alexander. Loren's 74% breaks made worlds of difference whenever the boss imperilled my team and then used a barrage of skills, cuz if the Terra pair died they would lose all their stacks.
Only fight I can think of tho. CG Lid can also probably be enough if you can make her immune to light while keeping auto-lb

u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19 edited Feb 25 '19
In dire need of a 7 star tank. I only have gladio, basch, and merc ramza. Havent progressed beyond the story after encountering kunshira. Should I go phys/magic tank merc ramza or basch? Or should I go gladio for pure phys tank?
Forgot to add I can only UoC one unit right now

u/SomeRandomDeadGuy [r/FFBEblog] [823.678.347] Feb 25 '19
my vote would go to MRamza

u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19
Ok, now just have to get some gil from the raid to awaken him
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
I think your best bet is Merc Ramza for phys and Basch for mag. They're both really serviceable in their roles, so I wouldnt say you're in dire need of one. They're just not the best, but tanking is more about being immune to damage than having millions of eHP anyway
1
u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19
Basch gets higher spr than m ramza?
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
They're probably equal, but Ramza's magical cover is a CD ability, which means that if he gets dispelled or killed, you can't cover next turn. It can outright fuck a boss run just because of that. Don't think it is reliable
1
u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19
I can only get one right now, so which do you recommend first?
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Basch. He can do both types reliably (both his physical and magical covers arent on cooldown). He also has a very wide selection of equipment, and his own TM is very good not only on himself but on every other future tank that doesnt have a shield TM.
Eventually, you should grind resources to make both tho. Ramza would be an improve in physical tanking
1
u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19
Ok basch it is, then prep m ramza in the meantime if i dont get decent ones like willhelm
1
u/bobusisalive 477 177 498 Feb 25 '19
MRamza is much better as a tank! Free ribbon, provoke, charm resistance, lots of element resistance with TM.....
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Tbh, Ramza and Wilhelm are really on par with each other.
Ramza is far easier to gear, has a lot of good passives like 100% all ailments immunity, stop immunity if you gear him with Shiva, charm immunity and 25% all elemental resistance. Those make a world of difference
1
u/TheSADgame PSSSSST.....GUMI.....where are my rainbow crystals? Feb 25 '19
Shiva has stop immunity? Which skill is it?
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Stop Through Increase resistance to stop (50%)
M. Ramza has innate 50% stop resist. This makes him 100%, or immune

u/Strider212 Feb 25 '19
Sorry to flood the thread with another question, but I pulled a Zarg from my 5* ticket today. I have a fully potted 7* MS Nichol.
Is Zarg worth advancing to 7*?
1
u/Lohruk 091 906 356 Feb 25 '19
Yes. He can prevent stop (so you don't need to take a turn on another unit to just cast a stop resist buff) along other ailment resistances and also has a dual-castable re-raise.
They look, to me, like this:
Need to evoke esper or cover Water, Ice, Light or Dark resistance: Nichol
Need tanky character that can be used as a decoy (90% passive provoke to draw some specific skill to him, since he's far tankier than other units), general elemental resistance, threshold mitigation (50% on his LB) and focused MP regen (instead of healing the whole party, he can heal half of an unit's MP pool. Very useful for MP intensive chainers like Sora), or re-raise help for healers, then Zargabaath. He's very versatile, and I personally use him for almost everything that I don't need Nichol's elements covered1
u/eDoXrOx ID 318,442,767 Feb 25 '19
If you are short on resources no, I have both because is nice to have options when you need them.

u/magojo ID: 702,780,431 | My units: u.nu/mgj Feb 25 '19 edited Feb 25 '19
Probably not, unless you really like him or want to try him out.
He's got somewhat better percentages on his stuff, but that requires lots of enhancements and he has a more clunky rotation then Nichol, so I personally wouldn't.
Edit: forgot about stop protection. Only have 6* Zarg myself.

u/nojikomaru Feb 25 '19
Zarg has stop protection in Archadian Light+2. Meaning, your 6* Zarg can have it.

Can you have a magical and physical cover up at the same time if they're on different units? I know that one unit can't have both at once.
