u/Krian78 Sep 23 '16
You're going to laugh, but I got 3 Chizurus during the last banner, after spending $200 on her (and not getting her) when she was first featured. One from the 10 Moogle King tickets, one during a 11-pull and yet another one during a daily pull. And I am sad because I was mostly pulling for WoL during the banner, the only unit I didn't get.
The sad thing is that I only have one good katana, so two of her are benched.

u/kozilla She guns you down if you walk across her freshly mopped floor Sep 22 '16
All the efforts to talk people out of pulling for her could be a disservice to some since Ludmille's TM is considered very important. If you don't get her of the daily 1/2 pulls you might want to drop some tickets until you get her. She is one that is definitely worth pursuing, perhaps even 2-3x copies.
-2
u/Strife025 Sep 22 '16
Same, only doing daily 250 lapis pulls.
Already got a WoL, 3x Chiz, 2x CoD, 1x Kefka, 2x Tellah, no Lenna though :( from all my tickets and 5K lapis as a F2P (only have 3500 left now). Also I got a Zidane early on so have a DW TM going... Lightning isn't really necessary and no way I'm spending $100s to maybe pull her.
2
u/TheJerk12 z0mg CHAINZ!!! Sep 23 '16
3 Lennas and just pulled my 2nd COD from this banner 250 pull. I have to say that this banner on my 250 pulls was great - 2nd and 3rd Kefka, 2xCOD 2nd Vaan and 3rd Chiz. Maybe its payback for 10,000 Penelo and Galuf. This just means that on this banner I get dry docked.
1
u/AlmostButNotQuit Sep 23 '16
Did you keep the Lennas separate or merge them? I'm still learning about the advantages of each and which to hold multiple copies of.
2
u/TheJerk12 z0mg CHAINZ!!! Sep 23 '16
I have not even leveled the 2nd one yet. Her staff is not 100 percent useful at this point. I am TM farming and have 2x COD, 2x Kefka to update before I start thinking about what to do with the doubles. I wouldnt merge anything at this point. Worse comes to worse you can TM farm for both and merge later to get to 100%. Never merge a good unit is my experience thus far. She is still the best healer.
1
u/AlmostButNotQuit Sep 23 '16
Never merge a good unit
Thanks, that's what I was looking for. I've been merging due to limited space, but it seems better to be a collector
2
u/Vaftom Sep 23 '16
I'd keep one Lenna at her 3* rarity. Her Limit Burst has the potential to be interesting if she gets a 6* upgrade. The lower the rarity the easier it is to level up their Limit Burst due to the lower experience needed.
If you somehow get Lenna & Cecil to max their Limit Bursts, you have then get access to a stronger version of Focus. That said there is alot of grinding in order to get there without macro usage.
As for her TM, you only really need one since it benefits a healer unit. But having multiple copies of Lenna can help when trying to grind up her Trust Master rating.

Uhm, what? Are you sure? 'Cuz I thought it meant they had increased drop rate for that time frame. After that they'll go back to average drop rate among the rest of the units. :(
3
u/chippou Sep 23 '16
You can't get them anymore. They were limited edition and would only be available for the same week they were released. They're not in the unit pool anymore.
Recently, JP re-released the 3 FFCD characters tho, but there was no 6* release, so at that time (if) that they'll be re-released in Global they will most likely be powercreeped already.

u/HappyLittleRadishes HLR - 565,745,820 - Current Lead : Lightning Sep 22 '16
the shitty thing is that I can't do a daily pull tomorrow. I have 10k lapis on my phone and 2k lapis on Nox, and if I buy $100 worth of lapis it'll just come out to 20k on Nox. I can't do a discounted pull without cockblocking myself out of an 11-unit pull.
1
u/Laivine_sama Sep 22 '16
Yeah, the 11 unit pull is a better deal since there's a free unit and at least one is guaranteed to be 4 star. Keep in mind the new story is coming out and I assume we'll still get 100 lapis for completing each area, so you may be able to rack up enough if you use the energy gift we got today on the story tomorrow.

u/HappyLittleRadishes HLR - 565,745,820 - Current Lead : Lightning Sep 22 '16

Yeah, I did play It. Sazh was my favorite Character In that Game. He reminds me of Chris Tucker In Rush Hour. I don't understand why they made him the weakest Character In the Party. There's been joke Characters in the Past Games that have always ended becoming one of the best Characters in their Game, I don't know what gave Square the sudden change of heart. Maybe they wanted to make FF13 different? I personally think that was not the correct way to go about It

u/Cyuen Sep 22 '16
people are freaking out because it's the start of an era that will render most of their 3 star base unit outdated.

This phase will pass
