Is that actually what a lot of people do? I suppose I could convince myself to do that if it’s common practice, but I just don’t like to leech like that especially if it’s not already commonplace, or unless the fight is just easy.

Well, I tried just riding out a run to see how it goes, but......is it normal to be sitting with your room set up and nobody joining or leaving almost immediately? -_-

So I managed to get a room going and beat Ultimate HL for the first time.
As I said I don’t like to leech so I did contribute a lot, though not as much as I would have liked because I got stuck in lag and by the time my attack went processed, I tripped a trigger because they were going so fast and wiped. -_- (fortunately it was just a local trigger) I should go as sage next tme though, as it seems like there are a lot of Spartans for these.

So I did my third UBHL today and since I got the Common chest drop for a third Ultima unit in my first one two days ago, today I should have gotten the last two units I needed for my second skill.
The host chest gave me a Damascus grain. One grain doesn’t do me any good. This game, man.........

You only did 3 runs and you are already complaining, while a grain is actually quite valuable and needed on the long run? I'd have certainly prefer a grain than the usual merit or unit. After a few runs, you will have way too many units for what you should use them for, unless you recraft multiple weapons and key for whatever reasons.

You call what I said actual complaining? Wow, I guess I really do have it bad in RL, because what I said is nothing.....
That was just a “blah, the timing sucks” comment. It’s nothing for anybody to get worked up over, because I’m not.

Knowing the raid is half of the battle; no matter how good your grid is, lack of experience in what the triggers are, compared to someone who knows exactly what they will do by sheer # of times s/he experienced the raid, it will be hard to do any significant damage unless everyone doesn't have much experience with the raid. At least, that's how it had appeared to me when I was doing it.
I got 4 grains in a row(out of 5) on my first 5 runs, and I griped too since I wanted the units to get the ultima skill more than a grain, but, like selfies were before mlb a base grid, I know at some point in the future, I'll come to appreciate those drops. Realizing that didn't make me feel any better though .

So the new characters look fabulous on paper at least, but how are they faring in practicality? The sisters’ skill set looks great and sword specialty, but how much does the linked skill trait offset their useability?
And does Yurius’ first skill really have zero cool down at 55? That seems too cheesy a way to stack a second 30% att/def down on the first turn. (before his charge bar runs out if your guild is running max charge bar+) Or does it not stack with other debuffs like wind Lancelot’s def down? Plus, sword specialty. They’re really letting us get our stuff out of our Ultima swords......

The weapon choices are mostly because they have to stay consistent with the characters. Even so, they at least provided a secondary weap prof so it isn't just about sword.
Levion sisters are pretty much self explanatory because unlike a lot of light chars, MA/Ougi isn't an issue at all, and they have access to easy echo damage. Link abi system isn't that bothersome since the CD is low enough to use their versatile kit and you can just mash with them and abi1. And yes, Yurius has absolutely no cooldown on abi1. He is basically there as a pseudo Sorn for solo content with a handy dispel to boot.

Yurius is there to blast away Brodea's reduction shield post 30% HP.
Even with both 9 and a Raphael stone, she'll still very likely to put up a shield post 30% HP. In a 6~12 man train, that's very critical. The slow can blast away the instant refill without making you wait for her to enter break. A double dispell can blast away the shield from her trigger. Also, Yurius is a better debuffer in U.Baha HL then both 2 and 4 combined. As long as he has enough guage, he can fully stack his debuff in a single turn. |

Thanks for the responses. I’ll probably end up picking Yurius if I get the surprise ha ha for Christmas. If there is one. (usually there is)
But what does Yurius’ debuff stack with? I assume with normal rebuffs but not wind Lancelot’s? EDIT: What the heck is up with my auto-correct lately........

We will have a surprise ticket around december, but you won't be able to pick Yurius (or the sisters). Remember that the ticket system changed a year ago or something: you cannot pick characters or summons with the ticket sold after their introduction. You have to wait another ticket so you can pick them. That's why no one could have picked the new Anat, Tsubasa etc with the previous ticket.
So most likely in January/February.

He doesn't really hit that hard once you get his ATK down, and his triggers and ougis aren't really anything deadly. They def upped his defense though, since I can't get guaranteed caps anymore(not that it matters, since he doesn't hit hard).
