    IIRC 3 was where it really started to work for me, the one with the prox bombs. Yuno has to be the craziest bitch in anime, and anime has a lot of crazy bitches ;p

    Icy Veins say that too, but as far as I can tell it's hard to be more wrong about something. It takes less time to get a level in a dungeon than it does to travel to the next quest hub, let alone actually do the quests. The only reason I can see to not do it <90 is you are sick of it, or are a...

    Hamilton's series are quite different - the commonwealth ones are all pretty similar, but Mindstar Rising etc may as well have been written by a different person.

    He's a martial arts expert, caster is buffing him. It's the reverse of the usual setup where the master is a mage and buffs the servant and lets them fight for them.

    UBW is Unlimited Blade Works - the series that is airing right now, it's a different version of the story from the original Fate/Stay series, which was on years ago. Fate/Zero is a prequel to both of them, and is far more adult in tone, and, in my opinion, much better than either of the others.

    Hex: Shards of Fate TCG - Set 7: Frostheart 6/29/17

    It's a little different this time, in that mtg's patent has expired, leaving them with significantly more dubious claims like customers being confused and buying digital hex cards from inside the hex client thinking that they are really mtg cards ;p

    It's a bit odd - if I remember stay/night correctly, saber was kind of inexplicably a bitch when she first got summoned, assuming Shirou was going to make her lifedrain people to get mana etc. This made a lot more sense as a reaction to the events of zero - this one she doesn't seem to remember...

    Dragon Age: Inquisition (Plot Details in Spoilers!)

    If you play mage, you can always spec knight enchanter and go melee stuff with your laser sword. You will learn to hate Cassandra though, as she continually bashes your target out of your range while you are in mid swing.

    Mage lightning dps seems pretty terrible, is fire or ice better or are mages just basically cc/buff bitches ? I get upset when hammering away for ages at some random thing with energy burst and whatnot then to have it instantly drop dead when the rogue shoots it ;p

    The distribution is actually where his atk goes in his hits, not the drop check. It's mostly academic for Melchio because they are so similar, but it's more obvious with units like Mariudeth where one of his 3 hits hits MUCH harder than the other two.

    I am officially sick of FH now, wish they hadn't extended it ;p One useful tip I ran across for getting stuck in crashing on startup is to load only to the first splash screen, and then force close the app. It worked for me the one time I've tried it, and is a shitload faster than reinstalling ;p

    Mariudeth is bad for frontier hunter because the scoring is all about quantity, not quality - i.e. number of hits on dead guy, number of sparks, number of weakness hits etc. There's also not very many fire guys, and a lot of earth guys, so ulkina is probably a better choice.

    What else are you going to farm ? Call of the Storm gets you 10k more gold and 200 less xp per run, both seem to have the same chance of imp drops. In random hilarity, of the three arena matches for the daily I got : - Round 1 kill of entire team - Round 1 kill of entire team - All units...

    Rowgen for melchio will make BC gen a lot smoother - rowgen is an automatic refiller, so you can use his SBB every turn for free, and it has 30 drop checks. What spheres are you using on the other guys ? You probably want to sphere frog darvan and go with dandelga and evil shard ( or guise if...

    You are not alone, I have absolutely horrible trouble sparking maxwells against each other. I get it maybe 1 time in 6 ;p I'll have to give your setup a try - although for the first fight wouldn't you be better off with zelnite->max->elza->max instead of dia ? Zel has a higher dropcount...

    Total damage for 800ish super honor summon : Atk frogs : 24 Def frogs : 21 Rec frogs : 3 ( heey ? ) HP frogs : 16 Sphere frogs : 2 Was really hoping to at least max out maxwell, but nope, 3 rec frogs short. Oh well, at least elza has some nasty atk now too.

    There's not enough team space to take someone for just atk buff these days. So Michele generally wins by having fire buff ( assuming there are earth mobs obviously ) - once Shida 6* is out it will be less likely either of them are ever used except against opposing element dungeons though I think.

    I got 450 done before the servers shat the bed. Zero sphere frogs, 20 atk imps, 8hp imps, 17 def imps and zero rec imps. Most of the crap was jewel guys. Over 4 mil so far. Pity cash is useless now. Ulkina is much more likely to be useful than any of those guys. Main competition is altri.

    It's because the units are way ahead of FH at the moment - FH8 is balanced for like Uda's batch, having zelnite's batch and maxwell is way overpowered for it. I am not sure what Gumi are going to do about that, given they obviously want to catch up to JP for code/unit releases. Maybe run FH more...

    I gave that lineup a bash, and found it a bit unstable for BC gen - missed filling both maxwells on both rounds 5 and 6. Still 1.8M I guess, I think I'd try sol creator instead of steeple rose on maxwell if I go that lineup again though. Zelnite instead of Dia is heaps more reliable BC wise, I...

    1 pull with cheap ticket, just for the hell of it*. Anima Ulkina, oooh yeah. Heh. * I don't think any of this batch or the other new batch are actually all that useful outside of certain niche situations, figured I'd give the rate ups 1 summon each ;p

    Fujin on both maxwells, zelnite and whoever else has the highest hit count/drop checks. Go Zelnite then dps guy then maxwells. Zelnite's free 8 BC from his SBB will probably mean your other two guys get full SBB and hopefully zelnite and the maxwells get BB up. Just use the maxwells with BBs on...

    Three rounds for points doesn't work anyway as I found out to my sorrow - Sefia dispells all your buffs with her SBB, so trying to darvanshel your way to free points just ends up with you getting smashed. I've had the best success with the same team lineup you have above, but I am tossing up...

    Have to see what the mobs are like this FH - judging by previous seasons, Maxwell is probably a bad lead in general for a few reasons: 1) Not enough BB generation unless you partner with Deemo. 2) Damage is too focused - you want to kill things evenly, having Maxwell causes crits to be huge...

    It's a bias against the randomness I think. If something hits hard enough that you need the debuff to survive, then 70% of the time you wipe. Assuming the fight lasts more than one round, your chance of not wiping swiftly dwindles to near zero ( getting the debuff at the right time 4x in a row...

    Mariudeth is 45% to Maxwell's 30%. With only one Maxwell, natural weakness damage is 150->250% and buffed weakness damage is still 100->150%. Lodin has a very weak SBB in comparison to Mariudeth though, hmm lessee. Assuming amanohabakens Mari then Lodin would give Mari (2345) * ( 5.8 +...

    Yujeh I think for leader. Rainbow dps, reduced BB cost and heals all in one is a good package. Kushra is handy for a long time, darvan and the twins are lower priority, you'll probably replace them with better guys later on.

    Probably not, no. Losing Grah means your whole team is taking 15% more damage, are doing 2/3 of their potential damage and have 20% less hp/def/recovery. It's still *possible*, but RNG is such a pain in the ass in that fight already it would be a world of frustration I think.

    The key part there was 'if you are using a damage up leader' i.e. 50% from dia, lodin, etc. The negative to atk from the orbs stacks additively with other atk buffs, like leader skills. If you are leading with zelnite or elza or someone then it's much more in favor of the amanohabaken.
