Part 2 covering Fire, Wind, Lightning, and Dark! - ruclips.net/video/osWC724l0sY/видео.html CORRECTION: Prince Mont's Killer Drain Blade adds an AP Break and Restore mechanic, the HP Absorb was already previously added in his EX Upgrade
This video is very good, very well put together and a great simple to understand expression (and compression) of 4 months worth of data. That said, I noticed an error; Prince Mont's EX awakening was Killer Blade -> Killer Drain Blade, the 140 upgrade to that skill is as follows: Decrease AP (10x => 20x) for target Restore AP (5 => 10) for self
Came back today and wanted to push my celes astris and new 100 cost water units to 140 and realized i can not even do this yet, so as a returning vet im stuck just chasing units and closing the story up, thanks for the information
Great idea and execution on this video as expected. I'm excited mostly on fire and lightning so looking forward to the next one! Yuffie will be the first unit I push. Feel it's more important for evade units if you plan to use them to get the extra stats.
I think I remember from my video on her it’s like 30-35% additional evade you can get for her if you fully max her out, that is a HUGE investment though! good luck!
Great video, really excited for part 2! I still have no clue which element I want to focus on first when the system rolls out....I think it's going to depend on how generous Gumi decides to be with awakening materials.
I do hope they are a little more generous with them in Global, but at the same time, when these tier jumps happen that is the time the company can make a lot of money, so they will always look out for that first as any company would.
Awesome video and topic! I would add that Miranda's heal back should stack with Amnelis's, and trigger two separate times. Also I believe Vistralle and Chunak get ignore guaranteed hit, maybe some others as well.
Good call! They do stack! Although I think it works better when you have a 50% trigger and a 20% trigger so there is more room that they don't go off at the same time.
She does very well against fire evade with her upgraded jamming thrust already even today! Yuffie throws a little wrench into that, but Miranda is pretty tanky against slash damage, so she can wait out Yuffies buff and then take her down after that!
I think the spellblade upgrades were pretty decent for her, Spellveil Blade going 100% hit was super nice - I agree though - I do hope she gets a nice 140!
I think q macherie is the better unit overall,l - since many lightning unit carry a magic weakness - and also since she doesn’t even have her MA2 yet - but they’re both pretty solid choices
To awaken them to level 140 you'll need 120 shards as well as some of the new awakening resources (scrolls and antlers, etc). That gets you the 140 mastery ability I described in the video, there is also an RNG based stat upgrade that is tied into 'reincarnating' the unit, where essentially you can spend more awakening resources and 20 shards to roll for your stats once again - only this time your stat 'floor' for certain stats is increased. You can do this continually until eventually you max out the stats. For most players the 'reincarnation' portion is mostly going to be reserved for favorite units, or top meta picks.
@@JB79 holy crap dude. 120 + 20*84. That is 1800 shards. Seems like something devs would do when they want a game to die. Give whales one last really hard thing to accomplish that will set them really far away from F2P. F2P officially dead on 3rd anniversary. Sad. 2 shards from quest. 2 shards from guild hall. 1800/4 = 450 days to max a unit F2P. That is a year and a half gap on launch between whales and F2P. Welp. Guess I'll find another phone time waster... Can't in good conscience pay for a game devs care so little for their customers on. Kinda a feel bad moment.
@@thisisashan Do you compete in the top 10-20 today? If not I don’t think there is going to be any difference for you - the vast majority of players will not be able to max reincarnate, even whales will not be able to max each and every unit - simply because the resource requirements are absurd. Anyway, it’s speculation at this point, we have no idea how it will be adjusted for global
I’m a water main and I already got Perrene and Celes in the Barracks so I can get an early jump on reincarnating them when those become available for them. But one unit I hope can get her Dream Abilities is Lara Croft cuz she’s a personal favorite of mine both as a unit and a character and she now falls under the same boat as the Persona 5 Royal units since she’s no longer a Square Enix character but I feel like she could come back in the future since WOTV is more open to non Square Enix game collabs unlike it’s older sibling title FFBE.
I agree, I hope these offbrand collabs come back sooner than later - I was down a bit on the DQ collab for this reason, even though I know the units, especially Psaro are quite good.
Alaya has not been awakened yet in JP, along with a number of other units. I believe the Devs were trying to awaken all of the old units within 6-9 months. Much faster than EX awakenings and MA2's.
Also I’m pretty sure only Lucio has his own kind of scrolls/antlers. The other free units take resources that are used on other units (I.e. normal UR/MR scrolls)
This comment is more appropriate for the next video after this one, but I'm a diehard Ranan fan as some know and plan to take him all the way to max reincarnation. I think his 140 & MA2 are really impactful as they patch up the preexisting holes in his profile while also upgrading what was already a very strong attack, giving him a way to both damage one of Celes's allies and drain her Runic at the same time. That being said this is not a reincarnation target most anyone would normally recommend, since there are a host of other lightning units including the mages SHelena, Skahal, and Ibara who are waiting on their 140s and will doubtless become no less valuable than Ranan after the fact.
as an Ice main, Gilg has never been worth investing. Lasswell has outperformed him in damage since release, and all the bruiser types outdo his survivability. It's a bit sad, but he is the worst 100 cost imo.
Can’t say I agree, Gilgamesh was probably the best unit in the game until Ruin Sterne came in, after that he’s always been super useful as a quicken/keen blade holder, though the pockets where he shined were lesser - and in manual play he’s always been great too. He’s not a pure damage dealer so you can’t really compare him to lasswell, which that is literally all he does.

Sakura is high on my list...have a lot of plans...plus I need something to perk my interest again.
I know you are one to go all in on certain units, so I think this system where you can go ham and really max your favorites seems right up your alley.
Velis is highest in my priority, also considering dark golem release, i can run him alongside 2 other earth units.
He never disappoint
I was sad you didn’t mention Perrene 140!
I did! I said I didn't consider Perrene or Amnelis on the water list since they're a no brainer to awaken immediately if you invested in them.
Thanks!
Much Love, much appreciation, I think it's my first ever donation! It's a banner day :)
@@JB79 I'm going to give back...which will be my niche in my channel.
Awesome work mate! This helps & saves me a lot of time. I aware that tons of work, research and analysis behind this. Highly appreciated!
Great to hear! Only a few more weeks until these start coming in!

Yes, you’re right - the double upgrade on the skill got me, thanks!
@@JB79 It happens.
You also noticed the other thing by the second video, so I'm not saying a word. Thanks for the guide and analysis.
Great video and exactly what I needed heading into 3rd year anniversary. JB never fails to deliver! 🙌🏾
Thanks Ram, doing what I can to help people who are lost in the darkness to look for the light.
Im happy too see I use most of the Ice and Light units. Thanks for sharing this guide and usefull tips. Now I can strategize which units to focus on.
Glad to help!
Cant wait for PART2. Thanks again for the insight JB. Have a good one.
Thanks, you too! Coming soon!
Came back today and wanted to push my celes astris and new 100 cost water units to 140 and realized i can not even do this yet, so as a returning vet im stuck just chasing units and closing the story up, thanks for the information
Welcome back; astrius should be very soon, probably towards the beginning of June. Celes won't be too far behind that.
@@JB79 thanks it gives me something to wait for while i build up one of these other water units that came out while i was gone
Probably will focus my account around Ice and Dark, with some Lightning and Fire unit here and there. Thanks for the great video!
No problem! Lightning and Fire should be able to make some solid combinations!
Great video JB! Can't wait for the other 4 elements. I'm going to take Astrius and Velis to 140 asap (already have them in the barracks)!
Good choice! Part 2 up soon!
Great video. Very informative. I definitely plan on focusing on lighting and light for my 140s. Already got enough to 140 cloud
Glad it was helpful! Good choices! I really like the Alphonse/Viga duo this year!
Great idea and execution on this video as expected. I'm excited mostly on fire and lightning so looking forward to the next one!

Should have it out within a couple of days!
never gave up on Miranda.
so happy to see her get boosted.

Very good!!! Thanks!
Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
great video, would love to see your analysis of kefka and roy and what the optimal builds would be
Noted! Lots of stuff I want to get to, I'll do my best!
I've been doing the hard quests for Velis and I've had Elena in the barracks for quite a while since they announced 140!
I have to wonder if they will treat Elena any differently on Global! I hope at a minimum they will up her courage buff to 2 casts like it has in JP!
@@JB79They really should like they did to Terra in jp.
I think I'm going to be focusing on Ice and Light. I'm really hoping Fryevia gets some love from the new system, she's a personal favorite of mine
I think the spellblade upgrades were pretty decent for her, Spellveil Blade going 100% hit was super nice - I agree though - I do hope she gets a nice 140!
@@JB79 oh, absolutely. My favorite of those upgrades was actually the starting AP upgrade for her.
Man i hope they do all the glex nice but lets be real gumi gonna take 10 years to give them 140
Great video, thanks for it
No problem 👍 Glad it was helpful!
Q.Machere or Oberon, thinking boosting my Earth team since there are so many Lightning Teams.
I think q macherie is the better unit overall,l - since many lightning unit carry a magic weakness - and also since she doesn’t even have her MA2 yet - but they’re both pretty solid choices
Thanks for the video, JB! Keep up the good work!
Thanks, will do! I'll have part 2 with the other 4 elements up shortly!
From what I've seen Vallaide also looks to be an excellent low cost support option for Ice as he can fully eliminate all of his cast times.
Yeah; he's gotten some nice upgraded which have compounded over time. Good low cost support; Ice has a lot of good options.
Level 140 SR Little Leela... HERE I COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME! :3
I've already had great luck with ravi/gilg/velis. I'm curious what I need to work on them tho? More shards?
To awaken them to level 140 you'll need 120 shards as well as some of the new awakening resources (scrolls and antlers, etc).

@@JB79 So those 120 to get to 140, and 20 shards per reset. How many resets to max out?
Assuming they don't change it from JP, 84 reincarnations will max the stat floor, not meant for every unit unless you want to pay big bucks.
@@JB79 holy crap dude. 120 + 20*84.
That is 1800 shards.
Seems like something devs would do when they want a game to die. Give whales one last really hard thing to accomplish that will set them really far away from F2P.
F2P officially dead on 3rd anniversary. Sad.
2 shards from quest.
2 shards from guild hall.
1800/4 = 450 days to max a unit F2P.
That is a year and a half gap on launch between whales and F2P.
Welp. Guess I'll find another phone time waster... Can't in good conscience pay for a game devs care so little for their customers on.
Kinda a feel bad moment.

Great!
Hope it helps! I'll have part 2 up soon!
I was surprised that alaya wasn't on the ice list. Does she get not very good upgrades or something?
Alaya has not been awakened yet in JP, along with a number of other units. I believe the Devs were trying to awaken all of the old units within 6-9 months. Much faster than EX awakenings and MA2's.
they definitely
give us a reason to use low cost units. They just need to give us blossoms though lol.
Indeed...hopefully we get quite a few at the anniversary!
that was good video and gone help alot of players in global it gone be hard time for me as f2p >.< at start of this new system it gone be hard to pike
Always trying to look out for my F2P folks with my content, hopefully it's helpful!
when are we getting starlight elena 140 ?
If we follow JP we'd see that sometime in May.
@@JB79 ok, thanks.
Also I’m pretty sure only Lucio has his own kind of scrolls/antlers. The other free units take resources that are used on other units (I.e. normal UR/MR scrolls)
I believe that's true, you do at least get to grind out mindspheres, and you do get some awakening resources for completing SQ #15.
If Orlandu can be 140 in day 1... yes definitely.. but who knows when we'll have another FFT rerun haha.
Oof, I really hope we don't have to wait as long as we did for their EX to come along! That would be a travesty.

Part 2 is already ready to go and I do have some things to say about Ranan!
@@JB79 🍻
"Again, not necessarily a massive upgrade for her. This seems to be a running theme here for Earth."
Ya don't say.
Well they don't want to ruin the sales of their latest earth units now do they? ;)
@@JB79 you have a point.
my poor boy Thancred will never receive the love he deserves
Hopefully FF14 comes back with a vengeance with good upgrades for the original units, and maybe some brand new units to add in with them!

I put my top 3, if you like Glaci, that's great!
Gumi... nobody likes Khury, stop buffing him. Let him be dead.
