Spoiler: XCX talk

The final form of Vita (I think. The one were the shield thing happens). I always mange to get past the first part and then near kill him in the second part until when the shield activates and that's when everything goes wrong. I loss half my team trying to destroy it and then when I'm done, the Vita has regained some health plus I have to deal with those guns things that just don't die that surrounded the shield. Also, i'm already on level 50 and don't have lv 50 Skells. Unless I do and I just don't know it. More grinding? oh come on! Also, don't worry, I mange to save before the point of no return (plus, it never lets me save there anyway). I'll have one more shot then try what you said.

Spoiler: More XCX Stuff

I strongly recommend that you get a Lv 50 Skell for yourself. You can unlock them by maxing out (Lv 5) one of the AMs at the AM booth in Armory Alley. Sakuraba is the easiest, so max that one out. Heads up, though, the Skells are extremely pricey, over 1,500,000 in price. I'd also recommend grabbing a Lv 50 G-Buster for it as well (I hope you don't mind shelling out another 750,000).

As for the Vita's final form, it doesn't throw out it's shield satellite until it's at about a quarter health. The satellite will be at the center of the room surrounded by four laser satellites. If you have a Lv 50 Skell, ignore the four satellites as they will hardly do damage to you and they have an ungodly amount of health, and just focus on the shield satellite. Another thing you should do is have you and your team focus on the satellites that surround the Vita when it summons them. That way you can just focus on the Vita without worrying TOO much about your Skells (trust me, you'll need them after this battle).

Another thing I'd suggest is to grab better armor, weapons, and augments for your team and your Skells (yep, even MORE money out of pocket).

That. Is. AMAZING.

I wish I could draw ......

Same here. I can't draw well at all.

Speaking of which, that drawing is amazing.

Or you can farm free, better ones from the Guardian Puges around FN site 406 in Sylvalum. They also give out Phoenix Wings, which are really useful for taking out large groups of enemies in one hit

Aw, I wish I knew this! I could've saved that money for something else!

The Merc , take Moydow's advice for those good weapons.

 

[Moydow]

There's also the Hexad-Partican, which you get for completing Lin's last affinity mission. It's basically a massive "**** you" to whatever group of enemies you feel like pointing it at, since it does some 150,000 damage per use (though dodgy stability means this can vary anywhere between 70,000 and 200,000+, enough to one-shot some level 60ish Qmoeva tyrants), but uses up four weapon slots, eats up 1,200 fuel per use, and has two whole minutes of cooldown - so obviously best saved for Overdrive, and hope you get lucky with cockpit time.

The one you get from Lin's mission is level 30, so if you want to use the G-Buster or whatever yourself, just stick it on an ally's Skell. The AI can't really mess that one up, since it doesn't have any special requirements for extra damage (I think it has an augment that boosts damage slightly if you open a battle with it, but that's it).

If you can't draw, use the Internet and cheat(paper on the couch screen like a boss)

Yep, I already have it so I know what you're talking about. It's magnificent when the weapon favors the player.

Anyone who's not getting ready for The Royal Rumble(for Daniel Bryan and/or AJ Styles)or something else want to play a Super Smashing game of...Smash Bros?

uhhhhhhhhhh! more wait?! Seriously, it took me a long time to get 1,000,000 and know I need to get that again plus extra? *sigh* I just want to find out what happens. And I have no research probes left....... I guess i can just do some missions. Also, what are G-Buster exactly? I think I've heard the name before. Yeah, i really have Sakuraba at 5, so I'll just do them.

Oh, that's what I've been doing when versing the Vita. Attack the Vita, attack satellites that appear, enter phase 2, attack Vita, attack shield Satellite, attack Vita. But I always end up dying at the last stage cause I've only got 2 skells left. But now I've been think that it my be a good idea to set the battle command to Concentrate Fire so that the focus on what I do and kill what I want quicker. Also, is it a good idea that I have some Arguments equipped?

Oh, I think I tried to versus one of those before. It didn't end well.... I think. but I will keep trying if it means better gear that will help me. Actually I'm curious, do the weapons types (Physical, Beam, Thermal) make a huge difference? I think it does, but I don't know.

Yeah, it sucks but sometimes you'll need to shell out quite a bit of cash if you want a decent chance at fighting some of the tougher enemies. You can always rely on random drops from enemies for weapons and armor, but with the Skells, you don't have much of a choice.

G-Busters are Gravity based Skell swords that do MONSTER damage if used right.

As for the boss, your strategy is pretty solid, you might just need better gear. And yes, augments on your weapons, armor, Skells and Skell weapons and armor are a very good idea. Just make and/or apply augments that will benefit you the most.

Actually I'm curious, do the weapons types (Physical, Beam, Thermal) make a huge difference? I think it does, but I don't know.

They do if a specific enemy has a weakness to it. The Ch12 boss has a weakness to Gravity based attacks for example (another reason to have G-Busters).

I think this may be more of a FE overall joke and the creator simply used Awakening characters as a base.

It sucks even more the I have no research probes left. Yeah, I've been getting quiet a few good weapons from enemies for Skells, but their all level 50.

'If used right.' Hehe, yeah. I kind of have a tendency to throw at all attacks. But they look like they are good weapons.

Oh, I thought he would have a Beam weakness, cause his a Mech. I even have this weapon (Beam Sword) that says do more damage against Mechs. Whelps, looks like I've got some grinding to do.

 

[Koiba]

I got second at a tourney today! It wasn't a very big one, but the competition was pretty good and it's probably the best result I've gotten yet. Still haven't beaten my brother in bracket, but I'm getting very close. Next time I'll do it! ;3

Few things I picked up there:

- I detest the Mario matchup. It's difficult to challenge him in neutral and in the air, even with disjoints, thanks to his insane frame data and combo potential. He's also one of the few characters that can gimp Pit without having to go off-stage, thanks to a diabolical combination of FLUDD, Cape and u-smash. On the plus side, Pit's multiple jumps and floatiness make it relatively easy to escape u-tilt and u-air strings - that puts a pretty big wrench in Mario's gameplan if you know what you're doing!

- Dark Pit makes the Rosalina matchup iiiinfinitely easier. Electroshock in neutral: the dream!

- Pit is the best character in the roster and nobody can change my opinion on that. I loooove hiiiim~

- Dark Pit is good too. Edgy memes for days~

Oh, and I got a Meowstic plushie and an Espeon plushie (Glaceon was sold out, super salty about that) and I'm going out to meet friends and cosplay tomorrow. So all in all, I had a good day today!

Might be a tad bit late but 'Gratz on 2nd~! 1st is the worst and second is the best is what they say


Oh and daily reminder that Glaceon is the best Eeveeloution

Would post a pic of my Glaceon plush I dun want to make Winnie too selty

Well that took longer than expected.

My scanner cut some stuff off, but you can just imagine the other parts. Other than that I need to work on not being so messy, the base of her neck looks really blotchy and undefined. At least I got my daily drawing out of the way. This was pretty fun! Now I must sleep.

Hot damn that's good



Like, I can't draw and shade wrinkles on clothing for life lol

 

[Wintropy]

Oh, I got my Glaceon plushie. And a Gengar, too! The guy running the stall gave them to me at a special discount since it was the last day of the con and he needed to shift his merchandise. I'm happy with it!

Cosplay was good too. Hot, very hot. Satin cape over a suit jacket. Oy vey.

 

[Pikachewy99]

After centuries I have finally dragged myself out of the abyss and back to the robin boards, and I'm glad to see some new faces and some old. A combination of Xenoblade X, school, art, and other things have kept me busy, but today I've found the time to drop by and say hello. How are you guys doing today?

Some advice, just go through the continents and find as many of those treasures as you can. Helicopter and White Whale wreckage provide probes and a fair amount of cash (40,000 for Lv 4 White Whale wreckage for example).

G-Busters can still do a lot of damage even if you just "throw them out", they just do way more damage if used when chaining Arts and when teammates tell you to use melee attacks and vice versa.

It's got a Beam weakness as well. Gravity was just the first thing that came to mind.

 

[Wolfheart77]

I think this may be more of a FE overall joke and the creator simply used Awakening characters as a base.

True. I haven't played the other games; I just know basic outlines of some characters. That one choice for Robin just isn't the best fit. (Though honestly, I could see it with Frederick as long as his lord is safe.)
I would love matches but I can't hook to the internet :'( Maybe soon i'll be able to.

[Nah]

The Merc you can probably squeeze a little more money out of FrontierNav by rearranging your existing probes. Try to increase your research probes' outputs by chaining them together and using booster probes, place them in segments with sightseeing spots and/or good revenue rankings, etc. Might as well take a few quests too to get an extra bit of cash and give you something to do while you wait for FrontierNav to **** out money for you.

goddamn though the cost to salvage a Skell is nuts. I ran out of insurance points today and then wrecked my Skell again and it was like 226,000 bucks to salvage. Like holy **** that's almost like buying a new frame
