That's exactly what his weapon is!

They do some wonderful things with the burst attacks but Zack's honestly takes the top spot for nostalgia and fan service, very well thought out!

His burst is amazing, the guy is busted. Even when his LD was released he was busted but his BT is amazing I can't wait for both to come to us according to the forcast his LD should be with us in October.

For 8 turns after the phase he can't die and takes all party directed AOE damage and it can't be removed because its a burst effect! And look at the effects for brave damage for the party, that's bonkers

So I heard CoD ia pretty meta for Lufenia so I decided I'd drop some resources.

20K gems and 125 tickets and I have both LD and BT. I'm goinf through a lucky streak right now but Zidane will probably be full on pity when he arrives in October

I’m so sad I missed Terra’s Burst. It looks like I can eventually get it with Burst Tokens, but as a Terra Main…

…that’s gonna take a long time ?

She'll come back as well on a triple banner in the future too!

Terra Yang and Cor combo is bonkers by the way the damage dished out between them is nuts.

Terra's just nuts in general!

Welcome to the game!

Cor is absolutely busted so he'll be an excellent addition to your team!

Enjoy as well as a new player you have a TON of resources available for pulling so you'll be set for quite a few big banners coming up!

I’ve been back to daily playing the last week or so. This is just a solid game.

I’m enjoying how the chocoboards incentivize me to play with different characters. Aeris, Rosa, and Tidus was an unlikely match up but they synergize well. I also tend to arrange my characters’ Crystal Strength by who I think would win in a fight (for instance, Dark Knight Cecil is CS 52, Zack is CS 53, Paladin Cecil is 54 don’t @ me) and that provides an additional challenge when using “low rung” characters (like Tidus, go ahead and @ me idc).

Edit instead of dbl post: ahhh I maxed out on draw tix so I had to use them to make room for more. Did the x10 pull and…

Also, Tidus in co-op is looool. He’s such a turn hog, which fits his character so well.

Rosa and Aerith are both on banners with TIdus and the charactera on those banners with the BT character usually synergise really well, Rosa's LD is coming up soon so they would synergise very well, Aerith with debuffs and Rosa with buffs and Auras to allow Tidus to do a lot more damage.

Also broken team number 2

I Thought Terra, Cor and Yang was nuts but.

Cor, Tidus and Palom is also absolutely nuts, especially Cor, he's such a broken character like I can't believe how ridiculous he is, probably one of the best Global firsts we've ever had i've cleared 6 Lufenia Lost chapters since yesterday using that team comp with calls as well, Cor and Tidus can essentially damage race the orb and break the bosses to prevent them from being able to act and Porom keeps the team safe with that ridiculous LD of hers.

Slightly worried how my luck is going to be with upcoming Rosa (Favourite) and Setzer (a must for Lufenia+ content) banners because both COD and Tidus BTs have been extremely lucky tickets pulls while aiming for their LDs, so i'm aiming for tickets pulls only for them and worry my luck will go down the drain as I have all their kit bar Lds but Zidane is less than 2 months away.

Yuna BT I think i'll skip, shes amazing support but I have a ton of support units and I've no interest in Ex-Death BT either I need to save my gems for Zidane in October, I have the tokens to pity his burst but I need his LD also and while he does come with Divine Pandemonia, Zack LD also drops at the end of the same month.

Zidane was so far left behind at the point BT+ was introduced it was well deserved he was given the first BT+ he was the last FF main protagonist to get a BT as well.

For me he gets use in hunts and easier content because I love the guy so much but he's just so behind compared to everyone else. I already purchased his High Armor and have a book aside to awaken it and enough Lufenia tokens aside now thanks to Tidus and Cor to purchase the ingots to max it out once its available to realize and I think we also get a free book to awaken a BT+ and an ingot once he's out and he is absolutely getting that!

My BT/BT+ aims for the future are Zidane, Lann & Reynn, Zack, Machina, Ceodore, and Laguna.

I am currently having a very... nutty... time with BT Layle, LD Keiss and 3rd pick. Often times Gilbranth because his "cause next action to be a delay" is *kind of* busted with Launches since it works in Luanches but doesn't dispel the Buff. Layle can absolutly get out 200k damage in one BT phase if you pair him with the right support. Why yes, Cid from FFXIII is on my list for people to get their full kits for in the future...

Other favorites with that comp are Celes (Lock, healing on the side and Enchant/Imperil), Glaido (when Lock doesn't work) and Cor. Really, just about anyone works in the 3rd slot so long as they can handle boss mechanics well...

Cid is busted upon release for sure!

It's worth noting from what I hear lufenia+ is some extremely hardcore shit so I don't intend to touch for quite some time but I hear now in JP the orb no longer does insta KO, which has always been a bullshit mechanic anyways.

Even now Ciaran's Lufenia is still a bastard to beat haven't quite got that one nailed,

Arciela's is ridiculously RNG and requires the bosses to get a damn turn and hopefully buff themselves so you can dispel it and unfortunately Cor and Tidus put you at a disadvantage in that Lufenia, like there's plenty of dispelers but the RNG of buffing itself meant I failed several times and in the end I removed speed passives and worked on completing the other requirements first i.e score, turn completion and no hp damage so I could focus solely on just managing the orb and the 0 KO requirement by using a team that did less damage but meant I could manage the orb and dispel when necessary.

So I'm still trying to work out the kinks to a few Lufenias.

Edit: phew Rosa in 83 tickets! I'm ready for Setzer and Zidane now :)

So Setzer's banner didn't drop, and we got a triple BT banner that's not supposed to come yet, first time apart from Global first characters we've not had the same banners as JP. Vaan was also meant to make an apearance with a rework that makes him rather nutty.

I have to admit while I'm glad Noctis LD boards are up and I can use him again in more current content, its disappointing, Setzer's LD gimmick is perfect for the boss rush and this has thrown synergy for the event out the window as he was originally synergy. While we have Cor who also does rainbow damage its only for himself, Setzer's is a RNG party wide aura and I have to wonder did the fact we got Cor and he has the same type of gimmick mean they've now pushed Setzer back??

No idea when he'll drop now but its, well unexpected and disappointing I like Setzer I have fun using him even now but I was really looking forward to his LD

Huh! Interesting. Well, I finally got Terra’s LD and BT so I benefitted from this weirdness, but I have no desire to use Cor, Noctis, or Shantotto just because I don’t really know the characters.

Congrats on Terra!! If you have Yangs LD and Cor I highly recommend them to play team whack everything on its ass with her.

Cor is basically use his s1 or s2 on Terra, have her go into LD or BT and he'll attack every time she does his.S1.and.S2 allows him to attack the enemy the characters has chosen before they do their own attack and it works on bursts so you can essentially have huge damage output.

His own LD gives him access to Reaper's Gale which ignores defence, buffs etc so he hits for max damage which is really useful in brave reduction fights. Also his S1 and S2 prevent the character he chooses being broken for 6 turns, he's just bonkers and extremely broken.

Noctis, his LD board give him some extra attacks and brave refund but now i've used him he's ok but he needs his rework which doesn't come until his BT+ so he's fine but still not on par with other units

I used Noctis for a long time in the earlier BT era so quite familiar with his kit.

He's all about turn manipulation which happens when he attacks a broken enemy and moves his turns up to before theirs when his S1 and 2 are in + mode so he's best used when his s1 and s2 hit their + versions as he also does follow up attacks. He's not a straight up damage dealer he lacks in damage compared to others now but he packs a punch thanks to manipulation and can hold back enemy turns and his ex provides him with free turns as well which is incredibly useful.

He's best to use with characters that can buff him as he does need support to get full damage, Rosa and Reno are excellent synergy with him during the Equinox event.

His LD changes his HP+ to HP++ and gives him his point blank warp status so he follows up on HP attacks.

For his burst my rotation is usually AA before the burst to open up all his + attacks including his Ex then select his burst and go Ex+, LD, S1+, S2+ HP++ Burst.

His Burst effect, he follows up everytime another character attacks so say you bursted with him and then used Terra and her LD he'll follow up after every attack she does.

But If you want to see the best way to use him then use

https://www.tonberrytroupe.com/home

They have amazing info on every character, how to use them, rotations, spheres that are best for them, playstyles advice on Lufenias, Dimensions End, i'd be lost without them.

Shantotto I've no idea really about using her and I don't really plan to, I don't like her, i've two of her burst both from multi banners this one and a past one but I'm not going for her LD and I have no plans to utilise her.

I'm going to say this, I love the game so much and yes I pulled Setzer one because he's a favourite and 2 that LD is the most broken LD they've ever released and Vaan's rework is absolutely nuts and I love it hes probably one of the best damage dealers in the game right now alongside Tifa and Tidus, him and Setzer as a combo are completely nutty BUT the way they've handled boss rush synergy, change in banners that impacted synergy i.e the removal of Rosa and Reno, delaying Setzer's banner and then putting him on a triple LD banner with no BT on which essentially is just greedy and some other stuff is frankly quite bizarre if you follow JP.

Yuna, I'm skipping apart from free pulls, amazing support but I have a lot of awesome supports, Zidane's in October as is Zack LD and my resources have taken a dent with Rosa, Tidus, Cor and Setzer so I need to go back to save mode for now. I have enough Burst tokens to pity 2 BTs but I want Laan and Reynn when they drop.

Cissnei is super exciting and it does give me hope we'll get Angeal in the future but would it kill them to release, Rikku, Red XIII or Amarant first? I can't understand the delay in these 3 character.

Man oh man, I had to basically choose between my silly little Crystal Strength = Personal Ranking minigame or being able to even DO a boss rush lmao. I am glad that today saw the return of a normal style event so I can complete things again bahaha.

I don’t tend to acquire villains, but I got Kefka, Ardyn and some robot guy from Crystal Chronicles by free pulling their gear. Love those free pulls ^_^

I really want to buy green-hair Terra… I love this game and want to support the team. But surprise real life bills got in the way. I’m sure green Terra will be back again, right? If she can return once, she’ll come back. Well… I have until Friday to decide…

She should back next year with her BT+ release so you will be able to get it again.

Boss rush is fun but trying to gauge how much you'll get out of one team before the change in party happens.

Went all in in Setzer's banner. Jack akready drained my resources but this one was painful. Now I have Setzer's and Amidatelion's full set but man, I won't be able to get Yuna's BT, probably.

The game gives a lot of resources, specially to newer players like me, but it's a bit overwhelming with so manu banners because if you don't get the EX + LD, the character is useless.

I feel very fortunate that I started when Act 1 chapters were still coming out, and Level 30 Co-Op challenges were, like, viable content lol. The power creep is real. If you beef up your Setzer and Amitydandelion you should be able to do Lv 100 content, at this point you could bring a Level 1 character as long as there’s a Tidus, Cor, or Cloud of Darkness in your Co-Op group ?
