Ive been playing for about a week now and been having lots of fun with it. I have been extremely lucky with single mithril draws. 5* for days
Such HATE!
I got super lucky the first 10 common and rare relic pulls - Zantetsuken, Genji Armor, Regal Gown x2 and a couple of nice 4* but since then it has been jack ***on every pull.
I keep up the hope that I'll see a blood lance.
Screw paying for gems though, that ***can diaf.
Is anyone else having -massive- problems after the android update yesterday?
Even when I get record keeper to work, the menus suddenly shrink to extra tiny and unreadable then back to normal.
Happiness is using just 5 Mythril and getting Tyros white healing 5 star weapon. Since most of us just use him as a backrow ranged healing support anyways...
Speaking of that.. is his "book" considered ranged/magic still? Usually I gave him a true ranged item (or wakkas ball)
Just a tip, if you have mythril, or is willing to spend bucks to get relics, bet all you have for Sentinel's Grimoire (the offensive one).
Acording to what people have been saying, its the BEST relic to have, makes Tyro a must have in any party, and its the key to beat the hardcore hard elite events.
That grimoire allow Tyros Soul Break that just requires 1 charge to use, and gives to all members in party -60% DT. Add that massive -DT with weapon and magic break, and you can survive intense fights and even allow to earn few points to mastery.
is there a way in the JP version to combine 5 Star items? I ended up with Tyro's Healing grimoire on two separate Mythril pulls, and want to know if I should bother keeping the second for implementation in the US, or just feed it to the first for some XP.

yes -- you can combine 5 star items in the JP version
More impressive than pulling consecultives 5* it is pulling relic outside banner bonus. Acording to reddit, its like 0.001% chance, aparently rarer than pulling 5* out of a common pull. I could congratulate you but i think you missed your oportunity to win a lotery by burning your lifes luck...
I burned my mythrils in 11 pulls, and i used cash to more 4 11 pulls to get tyros sentinel grimmoire, i thought i really needed it to beat rinoas event before it ends. I got my grimmoire yesterday, ive been working in honing my double cuts, few breaks, and soon gonna try it with retaliate + sentinel grimmoire + magic break + vit0 combo. Got several 3* and 4* gear but ive become more optimistic with those. Now i just combine them to have realm synergy for every realm. At least i dont feel frustrated anymore when not a single 5* drop from pulls, just when too many 3* staves drops though...
Man my last 11 draws sucked.... some 3 star, and just some 4 star weapons... while cool.. I can combine them blah blah. Wouldve been nice to get Tyros offensive book or Cyans Sword... Granted Tyros healing book isnt bad tho. Its like WHMs 2hr.
Was happy awhile back getting Celes sword tho... I keep her in my party now. Final bosses, just runic sword and it stays the battle. I am not afraid of spells anymore!
It will be similar to Aeris one: a collector event. You grab stuffs and exchange for prizes, so its not expected challenhes, instead grinds
Lennes event reward (item -> token -> times you can exchange):
Lenna 1500 Once
Orb : Ice-Fire-Dark-Holy-Wind-Non-Elemental-Earth-Lightning 2000 10 times
Orb (Greater): Ice-Fire-Dark-Holy-Wind-Non-Elemental-Earth-Lightning 6000 10 times
Orb (Major) : White-Ice-Holy 40000 Once
Minor Summon Orb 50 10 times
Lessor Summon Orb 500 6 times
Mythril × 1 50-100-200-300 Once each
The force of the cane (☆ 2) 30 3 times
Earth of clothing (☆ 2) × 1 30 3 times
Diamond Mace (☆ 3) × 1 400 Twice
Light robe (☆ 3) × 1 400 Twice
Power wrist × 1 200 Twice
Ginbuchi glasses (☆ 3) × 1 1000 Twice
Hyper list (☆ 3) × 1 6000 Once
Ring of peace (☆ 3) × 1 10000 Once
Jewel ring (☆ 3) × 1 10000 Once
Flame ring of (☆ 4) × 1
Highlights: Lenna, mythril, hyper wrists and orbs.
Summon orbs arent available for grind, so its wise to store them when you can. Also, it seems somewhere in the future events will give the summons leaving orbs just for honing. Regardless, summoner is a lackluster job atm, given how limited you can use summons due to lack of orbs.
4* orbs can be (painfully) farmed in heroic dailies and bosses from elite stages. Drop rate will make exchange a viable option. Greater earth is good for both quake, best spell, and protectga, as high lv mobs hits like a truck.
5* orbs just are mostly completion/mastery reward and not a whole lot abilities can be made, let alone honed.
3* orbs are relatively common in heroic and elite stages.
Another event down... And another 10 mythril wasted. I finally saw the rainbow orb after 3 weeks and got all psyched up.... BAM, have a 2nd judgment staff!

/comfort
Haven't seen the rainbow orb in forever and have totally lost faith in the common relic pulls.
Honestly I think they load you up with a good 10-20 chances on pulls and once you've used those they just shitcan the rate.
Still not buying gems. F-bomb that.
Time to get Rinoa if you didnt or Angel Wings(magic+15). Also last oportunity to try beating the current hardest event.
I did a run yesterday. Burned 4 mythrils to restore abilities before each boss. Got the win but not the mastery (39/43 medals needed) kinda frustrating. Still thinking if i should try it one more time, but the iguions are too much pita. Not just because the strength, but mainly because of the need of losing one ability slot for dia. 3 consecultives bosses sucks because i ran out ability slot because i must bring dia, bio and slow, that aside medals i wouldnt use them. Aside that they are 2 iguions, so vit0 will destroy my action taken medals. Best way to deal with iguions is 4x quake, but not enough time to farm greater earth orbs even less honing them.
Stage 1: Cloud + Retaliate + Boost. Just attack with Wakka double's cut or Rinoa's Biora against the big handed guy. Avoid single attacks because mobs takes 2 hits to die, so if you dont kill them with double cuts or one shot biora, your action taken medal can drop. I got 9/9 medals.
Stage 2: Same from above to waves 1 and 2. Against Iguanas, I used 2 restarts: once to fill my Soul Breaks and the second to actually fight. Started with VIT0 strat: Rinoas casts protect in Iguana 1, Tyro uses Sentinel's Grimoire and Aeris uses Dia. Cloud prepare to retaliate and Wakka waits next turn. Second turn, armor break + Status Reel. Wait a couple of secs before hitting Rinoas protect because Soul Break fills slower than others actions. Aeris attacks Cloud and Cloud uses his Soul Break. Double Cuts with Wakka and more one counter from Cloud and first Iguana is down. Repeat to second. Obviously, if petrified, restart app. I got 9/9 medals. Took me several tries to have a clean of petrified fight.
Stage 3: Again, I used 1 restore to fill Soul Break Charge and restore abilities. Then, repeat: Tyros Sentinels Grimoire + Cloud Magic Break. It will give you time to cast slow before zerging. While trying slow, Rinoa cast protect on Seifer and Biora for 9999 dmg without any tricks. Once slow sticks in Seifer, repeat VIT0/retaliate combo. Given Seifers HP, it will require 2 VIT0 turns (one VIT0 lasts for around 2~3 turns before wearing off). Remember to redo protect before restarting VIT0 even if Seifer still has it. Cloud Soul Break is great for burst dmg, landing between 3x 7000~9000 or even 9999 with boost. Just restarted app if slow took too long to land or if Seifers started too strong with consecultives firas before Sentinel's Grimoire. Speed is the key here, given the short VIT0 window and Sentinel's Grimoire duration. During VIT0 zerg, all actions are offensive so its expected Sentinels to last full zerg. I got 12/15 medals here (expert rank).
Stage 4: Similar to Seifers, one restore for Soul Break and abilities restore. Edea is easier as she can cast protect/shell/dispel/melee so giving time to prepare VIT0. Her magic, though, are most likely one shooter. So, start with magic break + Sentinels Grimoire. Then repeat same strat from Seifer. Restart app just if Edea start the fight before grimoire, thus, killing people. I got 13/15 and mastery in Parade Float!
I managed to kill T-rekz a while back. Pretty much Dark buster S/L till it lands, and then toss as much blizzaga/blizzara/blizzara strikes as i could lol. I think i had to S/L 10-15x as something always seemed to go wrong.
I didn't get mastery on it, pretty much gave up on the rest of the elites after that.
I've had 2 x11 draws now (wasted a bunch of a few singles, and a few recoveries when I first started, before I realized about the draw, maybe 6 mythril on that).
It's going to be awhile before my next one as I have less than 5, and I've done up to Hard on the dailys, and have done almost all of the new classic dungeons (had done all of the old, was tearing through elites when the update came).
About where I'm at: about to get my first level 50, Terra/Cloud/Kain are 47, 49, 49 in no particular order.
edit: best I have is 2 Genji Armors, only one is equipped, debating on combining them, I have a few 4 star things like Masamune, oh I do have Zantetsuken, I have it on Terra so I have 3 characters that can 1 hit melee hard stuff, once I hit 50 and start leveling up some others and such I plan on spreading it out and try to focus more on realm synergy, and planning for boss battles, as there's some that you just can't get Champion on the stage without championing the boss, and have obscure weaknesses.
Started playing a few days ago under the suggestion from a linkshell mate. The game is definitely nostalgic, & I am having a blast. It's for iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Currently trying to complete these timed events.
Any one else loving the global release of this game? It's been out in Japan for some time. We finally get in on the goodies
