She looks fantastic, but with so many 100 cost units rolling in, including Sylvie a few weeks ago, S Helena this week, UR Shadowlynx later this month, Waterpunchgirlie, Earthgunguy, Sephiroth, Amnelis, and now multiple 100 fire cost units coming, per Gummi on the livestream last night, Addison is still a question mark-- I'm really questioning on what I want to go for. Seph seems like a safer bet elemental wise, considering GL has had Ibara for awhile, Esther, and tons of Clouds & Lightnings running around...
In my estimation, assuming that Gumi starts moving to almost exclusively Job VC's for all upcoming GLEX units, we'll probably be looking more and more at job and ability based meta's forming maybe 2-3 months post anniversary, maybe even sooner. Either way, Seph is safe just because he is dark, and Dark and Light kind of have their own thing going on being outside of the elemental wheel for the most part. This is always the time of year they like to inundate us with these limited units, so just need to brace for impact - lol.
@@JB79 is she also a tank or no? I really loved her limit burst as well it gave me a feel of something old school I can't put my finger on. It reminds me of something from my past. Her meteor is fucking dope.
@@Topher_1986 nope - definitely not a tank, she’s a glass cannon against anything other than magic and missile damage. She does have courage and an auto heal back though to help keep her alive
Thanks for a great content! In the next 3-4 month for f2p or budget spender, I think there have to pick one between either dark, water or fire to invest. Shadowlyn is one of the key I think. So for me, I will wait until then.
Her "select 3" AoE skill is amazing that it will attack enemies in all directions. So if you have someone in front of her and someone behind her, no problem. It will also solve the AI issue in some instances where a normal AoE won't be used because of a teammate in the middle. Unfortunately she's a bit too fragile to be walking into the middle of a fight. Her skills at least on paper seem like they were designed so that you don't need to run a tank, yet she does not heal... JP players have been running her with mostly support cards.
I always look to counter meta picks. Fire evade will be a HUGE bandwagon team with Yuffie and her ability to block guaranteed hits. My only reservation on this unit is her bad accuracy. Even when building all out for it, she can't be counted on. Her uniqueness can not be understated tho. She looks extremely fun with courage and 2 healback effects.
402% is pretty damn solid, there are some other things I could've done to the build to get it up another 10-15% as well, plus the external acc buff I mentioned. I don't think ACC is a huge issue for her, she's no Glaci though.
Great dive JB as always! Quick question…😅 on your visual of the build with Amnelis with “402” accuracy, what would the number on the equipment screen be if you were looking at the ACC stat upon equipping or removing a piece of equipment that has ACC value? Would it show as 102 ACC? Or 202 ACC? Or neither? Haha… Basically asking how you arrive at the 402 number.
The number I use is the actual hit rate % derived from the formula - accounting for not only raw ACC, but also DEX and LCK totals from the final build. To get the actual chance to hit, you would then subtract the evade % of the target, top tier evade units are generally in the 300-325% range prebuff, so thats why I always say my general bar I'm trying to reach in an ACC build is usually around 400% total or higher. Here is a hit and evade % calculator: www.calconic.com/calculator-widgets/-copy/60cb7d9aadc99d001f1e1b54?layouts=true I do plan on making a definitive guide on this subject eventually when I get around to it!
Oh forgot to mention, loved the soundtrack selections throughout the video 👍 for some reason when the remix beat comes in on the remix of Edea’s theme I feel like I’m playing golden eye on n64 again 😂
they just shove 2 cost 100 on the same week. 🙂 i was planned to skip Nurugea but then his Dream upgrade is pretty decent and it put me on the edge closer to my Wallet. i may just pull for Character and not caring too much about Reincarnate, really don't want to miss the character.
How did it turn out for you? I definitely regret investing in her. Water have no magic % up card hurts her and the element far too much. She just has too many weaknesses u must address.
it will have to be off banner, in the worst case scenario I'll already be without enough visiore for what I want, I can't fit a 100 unit, I'm already having to consider taking Summer Jaiden's VC, and considering the risk of UR ShadowLynx have a VC of her too
The offensive cast times are easily reduced, as mentioned she can get down to 2 tick casting relatively easily. I'm not a fan of cast times on buffs either, to get the magic shield right will take tweaking.
Also to note, ramuh and bloody moon have the same acc as odin, if people want lower agi but some magic stat
Yep, as does Typhon, just highlighting my top choice here for the particular matchup.
Loved the remixed Balamb Garden.
So good! The link to that FF8 Lofi is in the video description!
Finally, after 3 years of WOTV, GUMI releases a unit that justifies the skill board of Siren esper! Cast time down, mag based, pierce atk 🤣
Big true, though once RDM enhancements happen, Miranda will have her beat to the punch! lol.
@@juicifercoppinson1570 No piercing damage in her kit, I was specifically thinking of the combo of water, cast time, pierce
Great observation😂

Loved the video. I'm excited to save up for her.
I feel like she’s been quite overshadowed with the barrage of new units - but I think she’s a quite strong magical attacker
@@JB79 is she also a tank or no? I really loved her limit burst as well it gave me a feel of something old school I can't put my finger on. It reminds me of something from my past. Her meteor is fucking dope.

@JB79 oh ok well I have Sylvie and Yuna so I'll try and keep her alive.

Really excited for the new Lynx unit, hope she's good!
@@JB79 a guess of what element she will be? Or what element you want her to be?
@@chalermyuthboonma7688 I hope she is a fire unit!
@@JB79 re-watch and it helps me a lot. thanks again!

Yeah, I think you really want a healer with her to make sure she has courage online as much as possible.

I need to know what FF8 playlist you had rolling during this video.
I have all the Final Fantasy OST on my computer, so its just my own favorites from FF8. Just the original soundtrack though!
Great dive JB as always!

Amnelis at least is permanent pool, so always have the opportunity to grab her later off banner.
Got her pull before pity shes 120 an im excited to try her out
Congrats! Her party buffs are quite good!
How did it turn out for you? I definitely regret investing in her. Water have no magic % up card hurts her and the element far too much. She just has too many weaknesses u must address.
I cant wait for her personally
Seems like she'll be worth it!
Always looking out for the next water unit to get me back into the game to :v
Well, Perene and Amnelis are both looking quite good!
it will have to be off banner, in the worst case scenario I'll already be without enough visiore for what I want, I can't fit a 100 unit, I'm already having to consider taking Summer Jaiden's VC, and considering the risk of UR ShadowLynx have a VC of her too
We get barraged with these limited units every year it seems don't we? At least Perene is in the perma pool!
Lets go mono water
Definitely shaping up to be pretty strong in the early 140 era.
I don't like her cast times on offense moves and her buff the aoe magic shield .
If all her stuff was instant cast then I would pull
The offensive cast times are easily reduced, as mentioned she can get down to 2 tick casting relatively easily. I'm not a fan of cast times on buffs either, to get the magic shield right will take tweaking.
BGM is loud
Thanks, first time I used this track, it got a bit louder in some areas then others.
I wish she was light cuz I'm building a light team
Oof, light would be extremely powerful if they got this unit! The only new light unit we know of at the moment is the new Sterne.
@JB79 I can't wait to get Sterne. Would you say it would be wiser to get her, or sephiroth for my light team?
If they are equally as good for a light team, then I'll pick her.
