Thread: [Event 03] Advent Battle vs Garuda

Got the SSR weapon from my first platinum chest in Ultimate. I'd estimate I've done around 9 runs so far. If the platinum chest drop rate was something like 1/10, which would mean about 1 per 450 AP or once per 1.5 days, that'd be a definite improvement over Expert and you could expect ~5 platinum chests per event. That would make fully limit breaking either the SSR weapon or the SSR eidolon each event potentially attainable without elixirs.

I wish it was that good. I've played every event like crazy and only the first one dropped a plat chest for me -_- Nothing but Expert runs. Now nothing but Ultimate runs.

All my plat chest were SR weapons

I pulled her too with the bundle package.

Soooooo nice. At level 25ish she hits ultimate garuda for nearly 40k with her first skill, and I only have two fire weapons equipped (and I think one of those is HP)!

No plat chests in 8 or 9 ult runs so far. Or any of this event or last.

Got another SSR weapon from my second platinum chest in Ultimate. That's one day worth of runs since my last drop, so that makes two platinum chests in about 18 runs. Looks like I'm on track to fully limit break the weapon, but not the eidolon. Since water is my team element I may end up spending 60 or so of my 116 half-elixirs to ensure I can fully LB the eidolon (less if I get another lucky drop).

Is Garuda scheduled to come back? It makes a difference in planning.

I have gained another 1K ATK since Ultimate came out, and my battles are much less risky.

I find ultimate barely manageable with a fire team, two apocalypse, and about 24k total stats. My thunder team is slightly stronger than my fire team, but not by much, so I'll prefer the element advantage from fire..

Garuda gets reprinted along with Typhon far off in the future (~9 months after launch on DMM). The Garuda/Typhon reprint should have the adjusted exchange rates introduced in Ixion.

Interesting development... my Ultimate hasn't dropped ANY enhance materials for at least 3 battles. Not R... Not SR. I'm not that lucky! The only thing I can think of is I replaced Snatch with Snatch 2.

It's just luck. I am never using snatch and yesterday I did more than 20 runs with enhancing materials rarely popping up but today I am getting a lot of them.
