FFBE Podcast

In this episode we discuss the latest evolution in the Onion: Awakened Onion Knight. 

He's pretty strong overall, especially with his ability to essentially puree an onion (and your enemies). He basically just does more damage than his previous form, is able to now imperil as well as buff your team, and he has a crap load of innate elemental resistance to Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. Oh, and did we mention that both is TMR an...

In this episode we discuss both the continuation of last weeks King Mog event and latest valentines day event featuring 4 new 5 star units.

The continuation of the King Mog event comes in with the standard exploration and ... MORE FARMING!? why do you hate us Gumi?! In order to craft the equipment, we have to farm out the materials from a newly added mission tacked onto the explorations. More farming in an already heavy week... it'...

In this episode we discuss the new units of the week.

Paladin Cecil literally breaks the tank meta with his multicast-able tank abilities. He's no longer tied down to choosing what he wants to do on a turn... he can literally do it all! Plus he's insanely strong with an absolutely fantastic TMR/STMR Combo. He will be among the best for a very long time!

And did we mention that amazing CG LB? Damn they crushed it. It's super true to...

In this episode, we talk about the new 2 star Bahamut and how awesome he is!

We also go over our preliminary thoughts on Blue Mage Fina and the high hopes for the blue mage class. We also discuss our early feelings on Season 3 of FFBE (why is Fina in a bad porn?).

Finally, Mini gives us a rant on arena limitations ... why must you make us suffer gumi!?

Thanks for listening! Hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode we discuss the Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year Event.

This event comes with some great limited units! Xuan Wu/Qing Long (1 unit, 2 names) is a fantastic DPS unit which focuses mainly on SPR based physical damage. Their Magnus  ability has INSANE damage modifiers, but can only be used once. But let's be serious, what the hell is gonna survive 60x modifier? Overall the units functions to max out SPR damage and ...

In this episode we talk about our thoughts on the current state of FFBE.

Mini has felt a surge of motivation thanks to all the farming event improvements. Making it quicker to farm, providing some free units to help players in King Mog events, and adding in more worthwhile rewards at times has made it feel much better to play all the farming events. There have been some drawbacks; however, with useless 3 star and 4 star units being...

Hess King Lasswell is here and his mirror of equity has ascended even further beyond! ... Basically he does more damage than before. His TMR is ridiculously strong, his STMR is perfect for anyone using Mirror of Equity abilities (and it's a strong as hell katana), and Lasswell's CG animation has us excited!

This is the first unit in a long while that's made Mini expend his deep pool of tickets, all for his boy Lasspoop.

We also go ...

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 ...

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...

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 fan...

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...

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 Ra...

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 lon...

In this episode Mini and Wilm discuss the Physalis story event and how Physalis as a unit makes us feel. Does it make sense? We also go on a bit of a rant about the story, specifically, how ridiculous season 2 was. Why are the Veritas alive? Why is everyone Rain? How did they take the best part of season 2 and ruin it with 1 moment? And finally, WHY ARE THERE 700 CHARACTERS!? Last, we discuss the refreshing nature of the Scorn of t...

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...

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 pr...

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 t...
