    The way Switch Controls work is like this: You create a recipe that contains up to five screen taps. So you set it up to do a tap on the launch mission, a friend, and a couple of attacks. Some of these taps overlap so a single tap, properly placed, can perform multiple actions based on where...

    As Sparkle Pony always says, if you Lapis refresh now you will burn through a ton fast. So I'd focus on getting your rank to about 70 at a minimum before farming for TMs. The Alluring Winds stage of Wicked Peaks on Dirnado is the best rank exp to NRG out there so it's a very good place to...

    Pruned some inactives. If anyone isn't on my list feel free to add me. 785 Noctis most of the time but I try to put up bonus units for Mog events. Put FOH or Rerolled in your bio so I can give you priority. 084 999 090

    I did about 60 pulls on this banner and only ended up with 2 Shines. I've done some math and that's the absolute bare minimum I need right now but I was still hoping for more. My long term plans are like this: Noctis: Blade Mastery, Power of Creation, Shine TM x2 (DW from Genji Gloves)...

    Does anyone else use Switch Controls on iOS? I'm curious to know if there is a way to force a hard stop while it's running? There's a new thing where sometimes friend units are selected but are in a "changed" state which takes a click to back out of. If I've queued up a few hundred clicks and...

    Exdeath is great in Arena when Black Magic isn't forbidden. When Dual Cast is forbidden he's not great and, it goes without saying, if black magic is forbidden he is a liability. In PVE content he's a solid black Mage. He stands up to 5 star black Mages like Fina and Emperor. He's not as...

    HOLY SHIT!!! They increased the stack sizes of materials! That just made TMR farming a ton easier.

    Thank God they're opening the maze again. I am in desperate need of Gigantaurs right now and I imagine everyone else is too with all of the pulls.

    I burned more tickets than I intended. Got one Shine and my first Luka. But nothing else worthwhile. I'll do daily pulls on the rest of the banner but I need to restock on tickets.

    I really hate these lull periods in their cycle. Quarter end with celebration banners and Orb Fests are great. The first month after isn't so bad to catch my breath after the quarter end stuff but by this time in the cycle I'm bored to death with dailies and weekly events that I auto my way...

    Or he injected. From the sounds of things there there have been ban waves but they haven't come anywhere close to catching and banning all of the cheaters out there. Or as Ziss pointed out "shady Lapis." I've seen a couple of teams similar to the one you mentioned.

    Gumi seems very reluctant to release the Orlandu banner just yet. It might actually be a couple more months. Events tend to follow a pattern. We get a King Mog event which is grinding intensive. It's, generally, worth spending all of your NRG on these events until you buy everything you want...

    All Nightmare Dungeons down and mastered. This last one wasn't bad at all. Beatrix with Magic Blink was MVP for me. Orlandu was actually neutered a bit since his OSB doesn't have a non element component and Omega resists everything. He still did respectable damage though. 25k a shot and...

    Yes. There is some good gear, recipes and Lapis rewards from colosseum. You'll want to get some Arena in and keep in the top 90k monthly ranking for an easy Trust Moogle. But as a new player you will get more out of the colosseum right now.

    I actually am very happy with the Switch Control TM farming. I was macroing with Memu before but had crash issues. It still worked well and I've completed 8 TMs between Moogles and Macroing and my next batch is in the 60% range. I primarily play this game on my iPad. But it's really nice to...

    His TMR is Equip Heavy Armor which is niche at best. I figured one was enough since, my understanding, is that he's used as a finisher and not as a chained. Thus you only need one. Completely unrelated, I figured out how to do Switch Controls on my phone. It's nice being able to automate TM...

    So how many Firions are too many? I just daily pulled my fourth one... I've been hoping for a second Leon but I'm not willing to spend beyond the half off daily pull until the Gacha change.

    If it does end up being Zidane, Chizuru and Noctis than it's a 100% skip for me. I've been insanely lucky with 5 Zidanes, 4 Chizurus and 1 Noctis on the Noctis banner (insanely lucky being defined as 25k Lapis and 60 tickets). It would still be the best banner ever released but it wouldn't do...

    Her TMR is, obviously, extremely good but is she actually useful as a 6 star unit? As a max 5 star she sucks other than Power of Creation.

    Maxwell should come back soon. I know Tilith and Maxwell's 6 star forms were datamined in the last update. I'm not sure what kind of event it is though. The first one was a King Mog event but I'm not sure if this one is too. We actually got the Maxwell Trial early. In Japan it was released...

    It's hard. It's the first, legitimately, difficult fight we've had that you can't simply steamroll with whales out units. He has a ton of hit points and stats. He also has a move set that can demolish you. The gimmick is that his most dangerous moves are elemental in nature but they can be...

    I'm half looking forward to the Gilgamesh Trial and half scared of it. My initial thoughts are Refia, Cecil, Noctis, Rain and Mercedes. I think I screwed up and accidentally sold my Trident so that's one less source of water damage. Noctis will go full damage with Excalibur for Light. Rain...

    Your 5 star luck has been nothing short of phenomenal despite the number of paid pulls you've done. You must have a leprechaun wedged up your ass. I've been playing since launch and put in just over $100 and I've had a total of 6 Rainbows. 3 of those had been trolls (Miyuki, Chizuru and Snow)...

    I have very little physical synergy for VIII but my Mage synergy is through the roof. So I went full Mage meta for all 3 fights and didn't have any real issues. I'm nearing 150 Mythril and my only pulls will be Lucky Draws before the anniversary. I'm really hoping that we get some banners...

    Which account did he give you? How far along is it? I'd focus on finishing the story and unlocking Esper right now. We got a new event yesterday but it's a one and done deal. You won't be able to beat the highest difficulty but you should be able to clear lesser ones for some starting gear...

    Gilgamesh + Ramza is the most future proof but it needs a ton of work to get up to par. And the owner needs to be willing to do some hardcore TMR farming to really unlock their potential (I assume that you're not keeping these accounts but selling them or giving them away.

    I know conventional wisdom is to only do dailies until the last day of a banner but pulling = fun so I spent a couple more tickets. Got a second Cecil, Guy, Troll Gold Cerius and Leon so satisfied with the results. Although I did accidentally do a 500 Lapis pull which netted me Bedile so that...

    It won't be next week. The last time they did a player's choice banner it was about two or three weeks after voting closed. It sounds like next week will be Type Zero part 2 actually. There was a leaked news video showing some Global Exclusive stuff which includes big buffs for Queen, a new...

    Wow Elite was, pleasantly, a challenge for once. It took me two runs to get it even knowing that I needed heavy magic. I used Tilith for the no WHM challenge but she's pretty squishy as a 5 star. 4 pulls got me a Jack, 2 Firions and Seven. Seven is new for me and at least she wasn't a Troll...
