Koji's back again with another banger! There are 5 battles you need to do in order to win 1000 Lapis (200 for each). These are easy fights, but still, here's a guide in case you need help.

His video - https://youtu.be/fKXfBCmy0H0

Wiki, mission requirement and his team for each fight:

Odin - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/The_Mighty_Warrior%27s_Fortress_Raid/JP (only need to do HARD battle. Fire Category only) - NV+ Ace, Crimson Knight Rain x2

Guide - Easy Fight. Light imbue and imperil with Ace and Burst with Rain. He has HP lock, so use 2x mirage from Ace. On turn 2, Imbue with Ace again (as Odin dispels you) and burst again with Rain's chaining ability.

Dark Bahamut - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/The_Dragon_King_Enchanted_by_the_Black_Crystal/JP (only need to do HARD battle. Light Category only) - NV+ Ace, Crimson Knight Rain x2

Guide - Easy Fight. Light Imbue and imperil with Ace and Burst with Rain.

Vision of Vlad - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/The_Pride_of_Royalty/JP (only need to do HARD battle. Elite Soldiers Category only) - NV+ Ace, Crimson Knight Rain x2

Guide - Easy Fight. Light Imbue and imperil with Ace and Burst with Rain.

Grace of Flame - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Grace_of_Flame (Flowers of Battlefield category only) - Devoted Summoner Yuna (crowned), Dark Lineage Fina, NV Vanille, NV Ashe, NV+ Terra

Guide: Wave 1 - Area imperil with Vanille. MP fill with Fina. ST fire amp on Yuna. As for Terra, in this order - Fire CW chain, 90% spirit break, sword imperil and then fire BS chain. As for Yuna, in this order - Fire CW chain, fire amp (crown Awakened ability), summon boost ability and then Fire BS chain (equip damage and Sword on both Terra and Yuna)

Wave 2 - Wave 1 repeat.

Wave 3 - Wave 1 repeat (use Vanille's break ability as well. Also, if Ashe's MP is running out, equip lots of MP or cast Fina first, so she can fill Ashe's MP)

Grace of Darkness - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Grace_of_Darkness (World Saviors category only) - Wonderous Lightning, EoD Rain, Knight Rain, NV+ Cloud x2 and NV+ Squall (old one)

Guide: Wave 1 - Greatsword imperil with Squall. Fire imbue with Knight. AoE chain with EoD Rain and Lightning and LB with both Clouds.

Wave 2 - Same as Wave 1.

Wave 3 - Same as Wave 1. (use Knight's AoE fire amp as well)

This battle is very easy. Let's begin!

Wiki - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/The_Liberated_Sorceress_of_Desire/JP

My team - NV+ Onion Knight, Crimson Knight Rain, Revenge of the Lost Kingdom Rain x2 (leader), Princess Sarah, Return Fina.

Tips:

1. She's of human race, prepare accordingly (Lakshmi has human overkiller)
2. Onion - used only shifted form. Tank (omni) and LB fill for Rain.
3. Crimson Rain - Tank (omni, if the fight lasts more than 2 turns). Used his Light area field as well for extra damage.
4. Revenge Rain - Damage dealer, breaker and Light area enemy debuff. Equip with Dark Apocalypse. (mine was EX1. Can even try with EX0)
5. Sarah - LB filler and support.
6. Fina - Stat buffer, light elemental amp buffer, human killer buffer, light imbue. She's really good for this fight.
7. Friend Rain - same as mine.
8. If you want to use other units, choose Light category ones, since that is a mission requirement. (my party was all Light units)

As we know since yesterday, Yuna got crown updates today and her crown stages are up. This guide is for the last stage for getting the last of crown and her unlock abilities.

Wiki - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Operation_Mi%27ihen_(Crown_Quest)/JP

My team - Crimson Knight Rain, Fledgling Warrior, Star Traveler Tifa, NV+ Terra x2 (leader) and Prompto (Guardians and Light team for entry in battles and getting the lapis reward)

Notes for the trial:

1. Boss is Fairy race (Carbuncle has Fairy over killer)
2. Rain - Magic/Omni Cover, Magic mitigation, Light area buff field and Spirit Killer buffer.
3. Tifa - 400% Stat buffer and OD user for 300% stat buff for Guardians units.
4. Warrior - General and Physical mitigations through LB.
5. Prompto - breaker and has Light area imperil for the enemy.
6. Terra - Damage dealer. Has 90% spirit break, 50% Sword imperil and 150% Light amp at EX2.
7. Friend Terra - same as above.

I posted this trial's guide before, so some of the tips are same. But the team composition this time knocks out 3 different permanent missions - netting you 1500 Lapis for all 3. As always, let's begin!

Here's the Wiki for the trial:

https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Advent_of_Purgatory_Rush

Here's Koji's video:

https://youtu.be/-zVmPkgSH6M

His team - Charlotte (EoD), Lasswell (EoD), Rain (EoD), Ultimate Power Rain, Revenge of the Lost Kingdom Rain x2 (own's Rain is the leader)

Notes:

1. Charlotte - Load her with HP, Spirit and Ice Resistance. Have at least 1 Lakshmi Synergy on her. (counter heals status ailments. Lakshmi Lid's TMR)
2. Ultimate Rain - Used for support. Fit in MP reduction/recovery gear. (Three Stars, Heliolite, Golden Hairpin, Ayaka TMR etc)
3. Revenge Rain - he's using EX2 Rain but you can try with EX1 as well. Equip him with Greatsword and boost his damage primarily. Also, fit in Dispel Force (Angeal's TMR) and Chain Speed (Deity Taivas or Avalanche Tifa TMR) on him.
4. Lasswell - Set on Lakshmi. Have her learn Stop immunity buff. Petrify Immunity buff is helpful as well for Leviathan fight.
5. Rain EoD - Have him at least as EX2. Also, with AoE Mirage (1000 Needles, Garuda) and 100% Provoke.
6. Friend Rain - build for damage.
7. MP Recovery - if need be, heal MP as the fight goes on - use Ayaka's or Lotus Fina's TMR or Thank you, Taivas card on your units if you find a free spot on them.

Bosses info - Siren has 5 Mirage stacks, that's why he's physical attacking her first before the burst. Black Dragon has HP lock. Leviathan has gradual mitigation decrease (due to being hit by Ice attacks) that's why you can't burst it down in 1 turn. Also, it can put Petrify resist down on your team, remove it by Party Dispelga trick (dualcast one random magic and dispelga by selecting your own party around the timing of first cast) or Dispel Force.

Hope this guide helps you out. Also, if you have any tips for me on how I can improve these guides, feel free to let me know. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer!

Ya boy Koji has released another video for the Grace trial, this one has 550 difficulty (which means the enemies are tanky as fuck) and enemies are susceptible to Thunder damage. As the title of this post says, all attackers in the video have EX2 level. This can help you defeat the trial outright and help with all missions of the trial itself (not the missions for specific tag parties, mind you). Below is the wiki for the trial:

https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Blessing_of_Lightning/JP

And here's Koji's video:

https://youtu.be/Al6gBd6Wj5M

His Team - NV+ Onion Knight, Defier of Fate Lightning x2, Revenge of the Lost Kingdom Rain, Ihana, Crimson Knight Rain

Notes per the video:

1. Have everyone equipped with Death immunity. (you can get this from Tegmine's TMR, as Teg himself is available from the 12 weapons hard trials from his own fight. NV Kurasame's STMR and Wild Card Ace STMR also has death resistance. Also, Genji Shield has it too)
2. Tight MP Requirement - Need materia or gear to heal MP - use Ayaka's or Lotus Fina's TMR or Thank you Taivas card on your non attackers.
3. All bosses are of Machina race. Build your attackers around that requirement (Alexander has 50% overkiller)
4. Onion - in base form, built for damage and has a bit of evasion. Shift form is for physical tanking and some evasion.
5. Revenge Rain - Built for damage. Can fit chain speed and MP recovery materia if you have free space.
6. Lightning - Has Dark Apocalypse. Built for damage. Can fit some chain speed if you have free space.
7. Ihana - Dual wielding daggers (Ray of Hope Larsa and Benevolent Beauty Rem's STMRs), has +1 attack materia (from Umaro's TMR), Erinyes Ring for chaining Thundara (black magic crafted) and set on Lakshmi (learned Regen buff and Charm buff). DW and +1 attack is build like this because Ihana's normal attack fills AoE MP and 2x Mirage. DW + 1 extra attack materia = 4 normal attack casts!
8. Crimson Rain - Build for damage.
9. Friend Lightning - EX2 or above required. Better if built the same way as own's Lightning.

Info for bosses - need to complete battle 1 in 2 turns. Learn to bridge chaining - Ihana and Revenge Rain, Then Crimson and Lightning (Sinzar did this a lot in his trial videos).

Hope this guide helps you out. Also, if you have any tips for me on how I can improve these guides, feel free to let me know. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer!

This guide is for two missions in one. Each mission gives 500 lapis as rewards, so with this guide you can get 1000 lapis at once. We have had this trial in Global as well, so many of you might be already familiar with it. Here's the wiki for the trial:

https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Advent_of_Purgatory_Rush

Here's the Kojimaru's video for this particular post:

https://youtu.be/hP2KpfTDsSc

His team - Crimson Knight Rain, NV+ Cloud, Defier of Fate Lightning EX2 (important), Cidolfus, NV+ Celes and friend Lightning (EX2)

Pointers per the video:

1. Tight MP Requirement - Need materia or gear to heal MP - use Ayaka's or Lotus Fina's TMR or Thank you Taivas card on your non attackers.
2. Crimson Rain - Tanking. Need Water resistance. Don't worry about his EX levels. Have at least 1 Lakshmi Synergy on him. (counter heals status ailments. Lakshmi Lid's TMR)
3. Cloud - Attacker. Give him 1000 needles.
4. Lightning - NEEDS to be EX2 for this strategy. If not, try to hack the trial somehow. Give her a Greatsword and Machine Killer maxed out. Maybe you can fit in more killers or chain speed up (Deity Taivas TMR, Promise from Childhood)
5. Cidolfus - EX levels not required. Have him setup on Lakshmi. Have her learn Petrify buff ability. Fit in MP reduction/recovery gear if you can (Three Stars, Heliolite, Golden Hairpin, Ayaka TMR etc)
6. Celes - EX levels not required. 100% Provoke. Fit in MP reduction/recovery gear if you can. She's the buffer for the team.
7. Friend Lightning - Get one who has Greatsword equipped. Don't worry about the rest of the equipment.
8. Some notes about bosses he stated in the video - Siren has Mirage stacks, that's why he's attacking her first before the burst. Black Dragon has HP lock. You need to chain properly at Omega or the chain might break (Cloud is finishing with Lightning, that's why). Leviathan has gradual mitigation decrease (due to being hit by Ice attacks) that's why you can't burst it down in 1 turn. If you're paranoid about the fight lasting longer, have everyone equipped with Death immunity as well (you can get this from Tegmine's TMR, as Teg himself is available from the 12 weapons hard trials from his own fight. NV Kurasame's STMR and Wild Card Ace STMR also has death resistance)

Hope this guide helps you out. Also, if you have any tips for me on how I can improve these guides, feel free to let me know. And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer!

JP Livestream no. 160 is happening on 28th November, 2024. 8pm JST. Below is the YouTube link for the stream:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WOGfzuuOMcw

This guide is for the Grace trial that is available as a permanent event. It is a 500 difficulty challenge and features bosses that are susceptible to Light elemental damage. Refer to wiki for more details:

https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Grace_of_Light/JP

Below is Kojimaru's guide on how to clear this challenge:

https://youtu.be/bb-U2Lc6NIU

His team - NV+ Celes, Selphie, Crimson Knight Rain, 2x NV+ Lightning (newest one) and 9th Anniversary Rain (not the ultimate variant)

Pointers for the video:

1. Tight MP Requirement - Need materia or gear to heal MP - use Ayaka's or Lotus Fina's TMR or Thank you Taivas card on your non attackers.
2. Every unit needs confusion and death resistance (you can get this from Tegmine's TMR, as Teg himself is available from the 12 weapons hard trials from his own fight. NV Kurasame's STMR and Wild Card Ace STMR also has death resistance)
3. Celes - build for damage and has Three Stars. (she has AoE stuff for the party like 100% Light Elemental damage boost and mitigations of all kinds and 300% LB Damage, so he's using her as a support unit as well as attacker)
4. Crimson Rain - build for damage and magic tanking (if you can afford Poison and Disease resistance, go for it). Build the same way in both base and shift form as per the video.
5. Lightning 1 - Build for damage. She can also AoE LB fill as well. Her damage is super strong! So consider her for the team.
6. Selphie - Pure support - Light imbue, LB fill, Healing and Status ailments healing, you name it. Girl is pretty strong for the challenge. She's also build with 100% Provoke and has Griever accessory (this gives her counter for attacks that uses items for curing status ailments. Have Panacea and Holy Torch in your inventory. Also, have Lakshmi learn Dispelling Smile (it's for removing Berserk status from your unit)
7. Anniversary Rain - Damage dealer. Try to mind his MP. (use MP doors on him if necessary)
8. Friend Lightning - need to have Dark Apocalypse weapon, 350% human killer (50% overkiller comes from Lakshmi) and EX2 (EX1 won't cut it. I know because I tried)
9. New edit - try to build your attackers with full 300% human and fairy killer. Squeeze in overkillers from Esper whenever possible (Carbuncle has Fairy overkiller)

Rest of the guide, follow as per the video. Try to understand each enemy's pattern and use similar abilities as per required as the video. Remember, MP consumption can be high, so if you have a free action on any character, just use a low MP skill to tide you over for the rest of the fight. And also, more EX levels on your attackers, the better.

This is my first trial guide post, so I know I haven't done a good enough job 😂

But either way, I hope it helps anyone out who wants the help!

Hi everyone! Thanks for waiting :) here's the link to the website where you can watch all the cutscenes from FFBE story mode (including the last 3 chapters). There will be more content with updates (a script version, pictures and sprites from the game etc.) and also a mobile app (by Daddy Raegen)

Enjoy!

The Grandshelt Archives Team :)

So, I've mentioned a YouTuber by the name of Kojimaru in the past who does guide videos for JP trials of all kinds.

Here's what I want your opinion on - would you like me to post his videos here on the sub? I can do my best translation of his strategy for each guide he makes that can help you clear certain missions.

I can post the gear requirements and important notes for each trial. You can follow along the video itself to copy his actions or take some alternative yourself. It will make the sub a little livelier as well.

Let me know if you guys want this or not. Any opinion is welcome.

Also, if you guys want this - please let me know which trial should I make a post for to begin things with.

Icon to upload is greyed out, wanted to show something cool but cant. Can somebody help?

I found alot of post from 2019 regarding bluestack having live translation in games but nothing regarding FFBE since I guess they had a global version until now.

Would that be a solution to the shut down if you wanted to play the game and enjoy the story?

Or does anyone have any solution at all for live translation?

Hello guys, gonna try to keep this short.

With GL gone but JP persisting with a season 5 on the horizon, we decided to make some adjustments on how we'll be handling JP content on the wiki going forward. Some of you might have already noticed that the JP unit list is gone from the main page, and some might also have noticed that the EOS message at the top of the page also links to the following page: https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/JP

This new page functions essentially the same as the old main page, but for JP instead of GL. New units, trials and events for JP will be listed and updated there (although I don't intend to make pages for raids and series events anymore). Also, several of the pages linked in the quickmenu now have their own /JP version (eg Walkthrough, Nemesis, Chamber of Seals, and eventually VCs) similar to units/JP.

So for those of you who're playing FFBE JP, both old and new, I hope this can still be a useful resource.

I am a Jamaican Ffbe player who recently have been having trouble to login. I checked the Apple Store to realize that the game was no longer there. Can someone help me or explain what’s going on

Rhus (Ultimate Summon) - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Rhus_-Ultimate_Summon-/JP

Dark Fortress Vanharma (Vanharma + Alexander summon fusion unit, ranked reward for the upcoming Dark Visions Abyss) - https://exvius.fandom.com/wiki/Dark_Fortress_Vanhammer/JP

Note - data assets available on FFBE's Discord (navigate to JP section and then data assets channel) - https://discordapp.com/invite/fKhxcCk

What's up, you beautiful bastards. Welcome to another news post from Japan and let's just jump into it 😎

1. Maintenance - November 11 - 12-5pm JST.
2. New unit! - Rhus (Ultimate Summon) - Physical Attacker, SLB (link for unit sprite - https://v23.notice.exvius.com/lapis/content/202411/20241109_ffbe_newunit_xq73ft.html)
3. Raid for Ultimate Summon storyline.
4. Dark Visions Abyss - Ultimate Summon version.
5. Banners, login, missions, usual deal.
6. Ultimate Summon story continues.
7. Rerun of Sol's Story Event.
8. Extreme Weapon Quest. (maybe for Rhus or EX ability or something. Not sure)

As always, feel free to update or add whatever I missed.

Is there a website or any material where i can see the story after chapter 4? Just watched the last video on YT today.

From JP official FFBE channel: https://youtu.be/GWetXyxIFqE https://youtu.be/Nxn3PHi6Mks

Apparently they were from Digital Ultimania, a digital strategy guide/encyclopedia of some sort. I didn't know it was a thing.

Hello. I've installed FFBE JP on my PC, selected "download all" (almost 6GB) when started, but none of units I've seen have been able to show any sign of CG limit (e.g. Sophie, Storm Seeker Esther and newest Rain (Ultimate Summon I believe)). And brief look on options menu using translator (and trying some options) didn't have any effect. Did I miss something, and could anyone show me where the toggle for it in game please?

One of the saddest days for me was coming back to this reddit after 2 years away from the game to find out that Shaly had passed away. She was the life and soul of Global, someone who made the global side of content and announcements and everything so much more fun, and made it that much harder to hate on GUMI when she was there to let us know that we were being heard.

I don't know the circumstances of her passing, but hope that she passed surrounded by support and friends. Here is to her memory, thanks for making the game a little less painful.

https://imgur.com/gallery/uEeKGZy

Made some card sleeves to commemorate the game and to use for the upcoming magic set. Which do you guys think is the best?

Hi there ! We are now uploading the videos and designing the FFBE story mode website to make it look like the book of recollection/a FFBE ultimania :) The project was named The Grandshelt Archives/Les Archives de Grandshelt in French. It should take a few days. Some videos from S4 aren’t edited yet, but it’s on the way, dont worry :) Fortunately we could capture everything we needed before eos. Now we admins are doing as fast as possible :) I’ll share the link here as soon as we’re done uploading.

Find myself still reaching for the physical(virtual) gap left on my home screen by the missing app icon which has been there consistently for 8 years.

Dang, relieved the game is finally dead instead of dying, but what a long ride it has been.

Bye!

Time to admit it's EoS for GL! Let out the rants here!
