FFBE Podcast

In this episode we talk about Regis and Ardyn.

Regis is a fantastic support if you don't already have one. He's able to turn your entire party into light based elemental chainers to easily stack for your main DPS unit. On top of that, he's able to provide lots of buffs, resistance to some crucial status ailments, and even mitigate damage by 50%. If you don't have a great support yet, this guy definitely fills that slot.

Ardyn is a DPS unit (Stardust Ray family) who primarily wants to double cast Warp-Strike Pain. He does have a limit burst that imperils and does an OK amount of damage, but it might be more worth while to continue chaining his Warp-Strike Pain.. it will just flat out do more damage. He also has a pretty fantastic emergency break which starts from 60-65% and scales up to 74% full break to one enemy. This is great to have on your DPS as a backup break in dire situations.

Overall both units are pretty good, and they're coming with a Raid event. This means tons of gil, cactuars, and Ability Awakening Materials (love it!)

Hope you guys enjoy the show!

In this episode we discuss the newest tank in the game: CG Warrior of light.

He has everything, support, tank, attack, massive stats. He's pretty much unkillable honestly.

This event adds to the theme of no 3-4* units on the banner which is amazing. They give you free bonus units including the OG Warrior of Light, OG Garland, and A FREE 7* Immortal Knight Garland. Its actually amazing how they've turned around King Mog events to be a streamlined event from the NRG Expenditure, the number of battles, less 3-4* units, and even things worth farming for.

Immortal Knight Garland is a have decent unit who, with the right equipment, can solo the entire event for you. Awesome!

We're both loving this new era of King Mog missions.

Hope you guys enjoy the episode!

Mini and Wilm got together and discussed The Witcher. We give our initial thoughts from what we love (Geralt's voice is spot on!) and what we didn't (What the heck happened to Triss's hair!?).

Overall we both agree it gets a glowing initial review from the both of us with a few minor issues (very minor). The fight scenes, the shoutouts to the games, the overall FEEL of Geralt and his interactions with the world as a Witcher are fantastic.

We can't wait to see what else this series has in store for us. We'll give our final thoughts pretty soon once we're both done binge watching it. 

Watching as well? What do you guys think?

In this episode we discuss the new type of mission: Fixed-Party Trials.

We absolutely love these missions for multiple reasons: the accessibility, the exposure for new units, the exposure for new team compositions, and especially the showcasing of featured units. This is a significantly better way to put new units on display for the world because it shows you both how they can fit into a team as well as allowing you to fully access their kit in an end-game content type trial.

We both find these missions super fun and hope they will continue to make them regularly.

We also give a quick review of CG Dark Fina (White Lily Dark Fina) and how poorly named her abilities are in english...

Brown Demise ... seriously guys?

In this weeks episode we appreciate the nostalgia of the 7 star Amelia unit and her abilities. We also try to figure out what the definition of an axe vs. a mace is... I think Mini has his definition down quite well. We then go on to pretty much ignore the other holiday units because they aren't that interesting.

The holly jolly bundles are crazy good value, and both Mini and Wilm have picked up there bundles, Wilm even got King Rain from his! Hope you guys have amazing luck if you choose to get them!

Finally, Mini goes off about his peanut butter pretzel pillows, Wilm talks about the struggles of the night shift, and we both remember how much free time there is during your college years!

Hope you guys enjoy this episode!

In this weeks episode we talk about Scorn of the Machina of Destruction, or Aigaion as most people know it. We're both going blind, and Mini hasn't given it an honest attempt yet. Wilm has tried a few times and only gained a small amount of knowledge. This thing is fricken hard, probably the hardest trial we have so far!

We'll be updating on our attempts at this thing as the weeks go on until we clear it (get ready for a really long fight).

We also discuss the new FFXV King Mog event featuring CG Noctis. Although he's amazing, we were most surprised and amazed with Gentiana. A free unit you get for farming out the event. She's a great little ice mage, and if you farm hard enough, you can get her to 7 star and unlock her TMR and her STMR all for free. They've put everything you need in the King Mog shop! Honestly amazing.

Finally we ponder who's getting our Popularity contest vote. Who are you guys voting for?

Scorn of the Wicked Moon... the bane of both of our existances.

If there was one trial we both hated immensely, we think it would be this one. A trial where surviving is the difficult part, but to survive you need to be both tanky and do lots of DPS at the same time. Oh, and you can't do any physical damage, everything is immune to physical damage.

Queue Mages, the squishiest of all unit types!

That is honestly what made this fight so difficult, creating a mage that can AoE chain to kill all the adds as they spawn, plus survive the onslaught of the Bloody Moon turn after turn. It takes mitigation, stacked with more mitigation, barriers, tanks, oh and your DPS has to have over 900 SPR and 10K HP. Good luck!

Tune in for a more detailed breakdown of our difficulties and how we overcome the trial.

This Black Friday FFBE brings more than bundles: A new theme of units with an all new type of ability!

Seems like Black Friday will be a new event type in FFBE, and I for one am excited. Not only are we getting an amazing bundle (4k Lapis for a ton of amazing goodies - Mini is excited) but these new units are really breathing life into some old 4 stars from years ago.

Doctor Aiden (contending for best healer), Operative Zyrus (a pretty strong mage), Mastermind Xon (best thief now and forever), and Agent Olive (... we're not that excited lol).

Aiden, Zyrus, and Xon got updates that stayed true to their identities as units and just made them even better, stronger, and usable in the current meta. Olive, on the other hand, is now a chainer? How the hell do you a chain with a massive effing canon!? It really went over our heads. Although she is very strong and fits with the chainer meta, we wish she stayed true to her finisher type character. If only her magnus ability could be all of her abilities. 

Speaking of magnus abilities: all the new units for this Black Friday event got Magnus abilities. These are a new ability which can only be used a limited number of times in a fight, and then you can't use it anymore during that battle; however, these abilities are crazy strong! Each of them fits extremely well with the units kit and we think you guys are gonna love them!

Hope you enjoy this episode!

Stay tuned tomorrow for our Scorn of the Bloody Moon episode!

In this episode we go over Magitek Warrior Terra and Adventurer Locke. The new Terra CG has Mini captivated and Wilmgaard can't figure out who the hell Locke is! Terra is ushering in the next level of mages, however Locke does nothing for the thieving class? The STMR he brings though is absolutely disgusting. It gives so much more versatility to full dodge builds on top of already being an awesome STMR.

We also cover the Scorn of the Fallen Ice Bird trial. Wilm is upset at this trial for being a huge elemental equipment check ... a massive wall put up to just survive each and every turn, and that wall is made up of the crazy amounts of equipment you need to even play the trial. Funny enough, if you have the correct equipment, the trial is easy after that, there's no other tricks to it!

Listen in for the full breakdown of numbers and units we used!

We hope you enjoy this episode!

Next week is Scorn of the Wicked Moon
