Thread: Friend Eidolons: A Guide to being a Good Friend

I'm not. That was simply the preliminary conclusion others have come to. I do know for a fact that one of my friends' Behemoth was masked by a higher level Quetzacoatl. Looks like we need more data to figure out what the rules for prioritization are. My guess is that it follows one of the sorting rules available on the inventory page.

oh, so that how it works.
'cause of the rematch event i made 6 teams each with different element so i guess it should be ok.
although 1 person in my list have diabolos while having jabberwock and takemikazuchi in another teams XD

Quick question about the Eidolon grid:

For the sub eidolons what is more important - the raw stats, the eidolon effect, or being the same element?

Pretty irrelevant question towards the actual topic but to answer the question, stats and skill take priority then element should be a goal for far end game. For example, I use my Typhon who is only 2/4 break despite have several eidolons with better stats than her but I use her atk↑ buff that no other event eidolon has right now. Though if she was 0/4, I probably wouldn't use her at all.

If I had a 3rd SSR dark eidolon on my alt, it'd make for better results but I didn't get Medusa with it. It has a Lv40 Ouroboros (+26) and a Lv40 Apocalypse. Ouroboros has higher atk and hp. Ouroboros shows up on my main's friend support.

Preliminary evidence (2 runs with an account set to 6 different primary eidolons of one element) suggests the friend eidolon priority isn't based on the eidolon's characteristics at all, but instead on the party letter they're assigned to. A gets priority over B, B over C, etc. I'll need one more data point to confirm this (I shifted the eidolon in group C to group B, and the eidolon in B to C, with group A as my active party). I've done my testing with all LV1, LB0 eidolons, so it's still possible that such parameters could take priority and I've simply blinded myself to them. Two additional data points (a limit break, and raising levels of an eidolon) would be required to rule this possibility out.

I was about to post on this point that this is what I also found, that the priority falls on the main eidolon in order of Party Letter. I changed between 4 different dark eidolons in Party A and it reflected what was shown to my friends (observed via alt account in real time, updated nearly instantly.) When I removed a dark eidolon from Party A completely, the dark eidolon I have in Party B showed up for friends.

That's a really nice find. I wouldn't have thought about the party itself as priority. Hopefully more players tune into this topic. I've had to remove a few friends the past few days already with their Diabolos and Light/Dark disasters cluttering up my list.

bout that, one question.

The problem is, my friends see my Diablos eido, even if i DONT even put her in the list (changed her with Apo naturally)
even if i remove all eidolons from list and then re-add (w/o Diablo ofc), its still Diablos, not Apo

any suggestions?

you did it with all 6 teams?

i dont even planned any other team, too lazy

ohh, it seems the game creates all parties automatically, with Diablo being the top eido
