How do you choose which of your characters gets offered to your friends? I have been assuming it's my leader, but I'm not totally sure.

Also, I whored out my friends list and have like 90 friends right now.

After playing around with Tank friends last night, I see the value. Apparently my problem is that I was treating it as I normally do with single player RPGs and trying to basically overpower the story mode's mechanics. I was all damage (I'd oneshot groups of trash and they'd never get to attack me), but bosses wrecked me because I didn't have a healer or a tank.

It is the leader character of your active (i.e. currently selected) party. You can verify this by opening up the friends tab which will show the leader of the active party.

You can also set a specific party to always pull that Leader as friend unit (active party or not). You can set an arena/colosseum/companion party.

I usually have an arena team saved, TM party, Raid, and event party and either set in Options that companion pulls from Raid or event party.

I'm sure Bryth figured this out already but to get more specific for anyone else, you gotta go into the "Menu" screen at the top of the home page of the game, then hit "Options", and finally scroll down to the "Select Party" section. This is where you can customize and choose which teams you specifically want to use in the Arena/Colosseum/Friend Unit. I wish they had a tutorial for players to do this right away since it is pretty important for setting up your friend unit and the convenience of having an arena team ready to go.

Anyways, just also wanted to say I've been LOVING Delita and his super potent Breaks!!

Excellent, thanks guys.

I have Cecil up to 5 stars level 60 now and I am working on a Fina, so hopefully I have a tank and healer soon.

Got Lightning and Aileen to level 100. Is there a limit on the number of LB crystals that can be generated every attack round? Lightning's dual wield doesn't seem to make them.

Is it worth bringing Xon to 6 stars for TH?

I believe there is a limit to the amount of LB crystals you can get from an enemy per turn, so if you do a ton of attacks on a single enemy and start not getting crystals, it's probably because you got the most you could for that turn on that specific enemy. I believe some characters may be able to generate more orbs than others with their basic attacks, but I'm not totally sure on the specifics of that.

Xon is a useful unit for sure, especially for farming. I do feel like his TH can help when it comes to farming Chambers for Sacred Cystals or Giancrysts. Idk if I would focus on him atm though. I saw you mention Setzer earlier, and I would probably try to prioritize lvling him up along with Cecil and Fina. Setzer is a really amazing unit, and his Cursed Card move will be a great help against tough bosses and in the arena. His Double Dice fixed damage move can be useful too against some of the challenging Chamber of the Fallen bosses until your DDs are more decked out.

Cool.

Also, what is your take on Henne Mines? I can smush PRO with 5/6 Bonus characters, but Elite requires I bring a real group (although it is much easier than other Elite things. It seems best for me to just farm PRO for 1k/run (w/o bombs or bugs), Is that normal or am I gimp?

Also, is ELT macalania woods actually hard? I haven't wasted nrg on it to find out, because I assumed it would boop my boot. It would be nice to upgrade Break Blade, though. Right now my best team is probably a level 100 Lightning, Aileen, Cecil, Rain, and a level 81 Zargabaath with a companion healer.

Pps how the ***do I use Cecil? Just Defend or Curaja every turn?

For Henne mines, that can totally be normal until you get a single DD unit that can essentially shoulder an entire ELT farming run. Sometimes though, you can have your event units help a lot with supporting your main DD, enough that it can be the difference in one-shotting the enemies. For example, you can have your event units assist with abilities like Attack Song (AoE Att+40%, from Siren) or basic spells like Deprotect/Imperil.

If you can't one-shot the final boss of ELT, I think you'll have to resort to at least using your Aileen and Cecil. If you happen to be far enough in the story to have Odin, that would help tremendously in the fight since he could provide Aileen with Lance and Dragon Killer, both of which are very effective on the ELT boss. Equip Titan on Cecil and Provoke at the start, use Lance on Aileen to drain its MP to prevent Stopga. The following turns I'd probably do Ground Work if you don't already have an Earth weapon on Aileen and then Piledriver away. Healing could be an issue though. If you have Vaan high lvl enough, he learns Full Break which would be very useful in this fight too. Ultimately though, since you'd likely have to use at least 2 non-event units for this, I'm not sure it'd be worth it. Would need to math it out.

As for using Cecil, using Defend/Curaja isn't uncommon on him; however, it's also important to make use of his amazing Limit Break to buff your characters and Provoke (through Titan) when needed. If you lack a Spirit/Mag Buff, his Focus can also be very useful. Giving him Counter materia/Accessories is often a great idea too since his Cover rate is so amazing, and his counters will help genereate LB crystals to help employ his Limit Burst more easily and effectively.

Oh, as for Macalania Woods, I would try to do the ELT too if you can since who knows when we'll be able to do it again.

I think if you employed a Setzer Double Dice strat, that could be your best bet. Or employ perhaps Aileen with Ground Work/Piledriver. If you happen to have the Gaia Blade, then equipping that on Lightning could help, then you perhaps make some Ele chains with Aileen's Piledriver. Either of these will provide a way past its immunities. I think once again, healing could be an issue. MP could also be an issue too if the fight drags on too long. If you happen to have a Tilith companion, then you could covered though I think. Poison immunity is also very useful in this fight. Gl !

I have a pretty tanky Lilith up for use right now.

570,673,359
HP 5919
DEF 254
SPR 373
Some elemental res. She has Escape so you should be able to avoid random fights. As long as you break the end boss's MAG, and avoid the BIG, RED BUTTERFLY CHIMERA, you should be fine (and use non-elemental weapons to avoid 0 DMG rounds).

As for PRO VS ELT on farming, I usually make an Excel sheet to see PRO base currency times bonus (and added together) and divide by NRG to see currency/NRG. Do the same with ELT. At some point, you'll have someone who can solo ELT and take a full bonus team. Even now, a decent Vaan can Full Break and your DD can get a boost.

im playing 3 accounts at once so i can experience using more types of units, one account is my nephews but he doesnt play anymore.

My main accounts a 960atk orlandeau,elza,fohlen,dualcast refia and warrior of light
MA2:900atk noctis,700+mag ashe,ling,dual cast refia,warrior of light
and my nephews account which is the newest one is a 730atk orlandeau,noctis,luneth,refia(noDualcast yet working on other TMs) and warrior of light.
ive been doing the moogle event and henne mines event clearing both on elite with all 3 accounts np and ive cleared the woods event np. The key i found to beating m woods was a solid tidus friend who can do the water dmg, idk if the boss only switches to water or lightning weakness but all 3 bosses thats the only weakness's i saw which was cake for noctis thunder flask and orlandeau's lightning stab.
Im free to play which from reading peoples post i'm very lucky on getting so many t5 bases, ive got more i dont use in main pt like seabreeze dark fina, emperor, gilgamesh. If anyone wants to add my accounts though, let me know and ill post the friend codes, ive been ignoring a lot of friend request so i would need to know who im accepting. I think im doing pretty good for F2P and someone who doesnt use exploits.

I got a Noctis from the random French Fanfest present. I also happened upon a random warrior of light the other day.

I will give Macalania Woods a shot tomorrow.

What is the most essential TMR for me to get? I have TM+ moogles but don't have Gilgamesh or Zidane. Should I just keep holding on to them?

Right now my options are:
Dual Cast
Ribbon
Brotherhood
Discernment
Quick Assault
Rikku's Pouch?
Draco Spike
Ultima
Flare
Meteor
Bowie Knife


Ps wtf is the deal with avatars? Should I not spend any points until I rank them up to two stars? The wiki page isn't terribly clear to me.

A lot of good ones there, I'd ignore Ultima/Flare/Meteor as any BLM worth their salt will have a better ability, or those abilities naturally.

Bowie Knife is actually pretty dang good as a Dual Wield item, as it frees up a Materia slot instead, much like Gilgamesh's TM. Plus its got pretty good damage on it as is. I'd probably focus on this first.

Rikku's Pouch is absolutely amazing, and should be a priority as a second choice.

From there I would recommend at least 1 Dual Cast, and Quick Assault is amazing for both attack and a 100% Evasion build, its the best TM in slot for that. Discernment/Ribbon are both situationally good, I've not needed them yet but can be quite useful, though I'd put them low ish priority.

Brotherhood is best weapon for Tidus, and natural water element, so that would be great for him.

Anyway long story short...

1)Bowie Knife
2)Rikku's Pouch
3)Dual Cast/Quick Assault/Brotherhood

From that list you've given me those seem best options.

Noctis should be a focus. He's getting un-nerfed and there's a possibility that his TM may, as well (which would add atk/mag+30%). Even if the ring stays as is, it's 25% evasion and 25% counter rate with MP gain and grants access to Alterna and Death. He's an incredibly versatile character with a TON of uses.

Edit: Pull hard on the Nier banner. These units are pretty amazing and will not be added to the unit pool after.

if you get a gilgamesh he should be main person to focus on tming, or zidane for dual wield. DW is a game changer because it doubles your attack rate so attacks like warp break or fire flask hit 2 times per round instead of once, then dual cast, then i did ring of the luici for my noctis account its a great ring with 25% evasion bonus its crucial for a noctis evasion build but you could skip that and do atk boost next
i did (before noctis came out):
(before noctis came out)1.Blade mastery(50%atk bonus with katana)
(noctis release)2.Dual wield
3.Excalibur
4.Ring of the lucil(you can skip it for now i only use it on my ling atm)
5.Dual cast
6.Quick assault (30%atk +10%evasion tm)
7. Im 10% away from Black Cowl +25atk/spr/def head) next
You're going to want powerful greatsword for noctis and offhand Katana, lasswell event JSE katana for now until you can beat gilgamesh, and then ifrit/siren for large sword mastery.
My noctis equip atm is
Excaliber/genjiblade
black bandana
lasswell's clothes(lasswell fight is worth doing)
icyveins/ifrit's claw
and abilities dual wield/large sword mastery/blade mastery/quick assault
ive got 894 atk atm with odin max

So i would say look out for a Chizuru, cecil(or dark knight cecil for his dark based GS), zidane.

Of what you have work on dual cast because even if refia gets replaced as a healer you still have an amazing ability for almost any healer you can use y'shtola until you get refia but having dual cast with refias full raise and her other abilities like many immunities is very useful.

For avatars you rank them up to 30 then you open up a new battlelfield where they were unlocked at to reset their level back to 1(you keep the points for training) and raises their level cap to 40 2*. Your tank will need golem for provoke unless it has natural provoke like warrior of light. Odin is a great avatar for your top DD, highest atk boost decent HP, no elemental weakness, and his training gives access to blade blitz a low mp aoe and dragon/undead-killer 50% dmg bonus effects. Im using lakshimi for my main healer but carbuncle is good too. I would focus on Odin first unless you need Provoke for your tank. And Ramuh is best for magic DD he isnt worth using over odin for noctis though, even for magic WS boost since they are physical/magic hybrid its better to just stack atk. Spend points how you want but you may decide you want to spend them a different way when you get them to 2* since you cant unlock everything and some of the things on the edge of the board are expensive to get to. They added a way to respend points its free the first time so dont fret it too much.

I stockpiled the rare tickets from Henne Mines because I blew 5k Lapis and got 3/4 of the ff12 trusts, so I am in good shape for the next campaign.

Is the 2 star esper board the same as the one star esper board, but bigger? Ah whatever. I am at level 29 with Siren so I will find out pretty soon.

The 2 star board is the same except it unlocks a new ring on the outside with better buffs and abilities than 1 star has available. The big difference is the stats and abilities that are available under 2* espers cost 30 points to obtain so it's a good idea to stockpile points ahead of time. You also cant unlock everything even at lvl 40 so having the full board visible before spending a lot of points will help prevent wasting points on a semi useless path. I know you can do a 1 time reset, but I haven't done it so I'm not sure if it's 1 time per esper or 1 time period.

It's one free board reset and after that you pay 100 lapis. I haven't seen anything mentioning a limit to how many times you can reset a single avatar.

I'm surprised the wiki doesn't have a screenshot of the Esper boards with the T2 ring, but I'm not particularly worried about it either now.


I do about two new story dungeons and a new round of colosseum every day, so I pull in about 700 lapis. That won't keep up, but neither will my expenses.

Also, for Henne Mines I've bought out the consumables, 10% Trust moogle, all mini limit pots, all cheap T6 upgrade materials, Star Quartz, Rare summon tickets, Zwill Blade, Zodiac spear, and the body armor. The materia looks kind of crappy so I haven't gotten it. I guess I'm moving on to the 1% Trust moogles (already got 1/5), but honestly I might just stock up on stuff like Lucky Seedling (grabbed 30 of each so far) because screw farming that.

So I just got the game like 10 days ago (haven't even linked it to my FB account yet). Haven't played the game yet (and don't think I will, for a while), so right now all I'm doing is gettingoing the daily free summon, and collecting the log-in rewards.
I received a package of freebies from some event that includes some summon tickets. They are:
-Two 10+1
-Ten blue Ex summon tickets, one green Ex summon ticket.
-Five Rare summon tckets, one green of the same type.
It seems that a lot of those summon events will end soon tonight. Shall I pull anything? Or just keep them?

http://exvius.gamepedia.com/Category:Espers i checked theres a full t2 board at the bottom of each esper's page i pretty much only use that site for everything i need to know about the game. I avoid the communities around games like reddit or the kongbokpao chat area, or most things because its just peacocking and people who are unhelpful unless you dedicate a ton of time to the site and make a name for yourself. They give half answers and act like its too much work to elaborate.
