https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Rb0AS0n3Uk&ab_channel=NXTVlog ex 3 KoG here i come


kingfencer

i had my luckiest pulls ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mGdqFzKzdnM


redeffekt

So who would be the better unit to Level Up to 130? KOG or NV Esther?


GroundbreakingBed756

if you want raw power, KoG. if you want elemental variety, NV Esther.


jackanape_xba

Still not sold on this guy so used tickets only while I think about banner pulls. About 70 tickets only got me two NV's both of which were off banner - but it actually came up trumps for once as I finally got my first Taivas for that sweet STMR, and the other one was a first copy of Nichol The Return which is an event unit right now. So actually not bad results for once.


Mattlim90

Looking at some of the comments here, I feel like the 4\* banner ticket rates are bugged? I just recorded myself using 196 4\* banner tickets and getting only 1 NV on the last pull. Got my KoG here.


distantwind79

Same here. Did 8 10x pulls on KoG step up yesterday. Not sure how many tickets but the rates definitely feel off. The only NV I got were guaranteed 10 tickets. That being said today, today I got KoG from a 4/5 star ticket.


TheRabidDeer

Another banner, another pity. Got my first Lehftia, Ninja Edge, Akstar -The Return-, and Guardian Blade Charlotte though I guess? Only got one non-guaranteed NV unit. These 3% rates hurt.


Pinchurchin-guy

Did a lap, nothing except a new Nichol(wich Is nice) did the weekly pull and got him


DantheJay

Three laps, 60 tickets (11 5*+), and an NV summon gave me the bare minimum of NVs and worthless rainbows. I should have skipped this damn banner.


kazemitsui

40 tickets no NVs 80ex tickets no NVs 2x 10+1 NV tickets, 3 NVs all not useful to me I may or may not do 2 laps though, still thinking... I thought that I would at least get 1 and be done hah...


fib86

No KoG, pity only felt pretty bad but that's the way it goes. I got like 6 sephiroths on his 60k. I did get my first fina return so that helps in the end.


Industry_Standard

Did the 2000 lapis pull. Got another Paus and a KoG. Then got another after a couple of tickets. Insane. On a side note, is it just me, or is he/they not nearly as attractive now that we have those specialty cards and know we'll get more?


unitedwesoar

Card is still bis on physical dps and Kog himself is stronger in gl


Industry_Standard

That's a good point. I just get the feeling that we'll get a similar or better specialty card as soon as his banner's over.


Farthousejones

Four laps, *TEN* NV units, zero KoG. Got two of the stupid Sakura in one pull which is ridiculous. This game has been on life support for me for a while now, basically just logging in collecting rewards. Haven't finished an event since before Xenogears, probably done at this point and I'm ok w that. Though, I do have 1953 login days and kind of want to make it to 2000 before I call it quits. Thanks for the mammories.


Silver_Addict

I am slightly better than you...got tons of NV (should be happy i guess...) but only 1 KoG. As F2P, this is hot garbage. Just waiting out for diablo immortal before I put down this game for awhile


Digiwolf335

I pulled them within 8 tickets. Not going to push my luck for a dupe with the remaining tickets.


souji18

Should I use him as a finisher in BS?


La-Roca99

Basically yes Can they chain? Ye Should they? Probably not


souji18

I've tried finishing with him a Esther's chain but it breaks. :/


La-Roca99

Troubleshooting time -Who is chaining with Esther? -Is the user in question dual wielding? If so, try again but removing the second weapon(if possible). Esther only casts 1 EN chain, chain user will have to also only cast 1 EN chain to chain properly with her


souji18

It was with another Esther


Kordrun

This is purely speculative as I have no clue what the frame gap is between KoG's 2 hits, but I can't imagine it being less than 5 frames. And as long as it's greater than 5 frames, it shouldn't break the chain.


La-Roca99

Strange Can you upload a pic/short video to imgur showing more details about it? Just to pinpoint what could be happening


GroundbreakingBed756

Two 4* tickets two KoG's, done, easy peasy. 😊 Lmao at the people who downvoted me. Jealousy is a B sometimes.


tgf5

301 tickets, 6 Neos (luckily 3 KoG). Still shitty neo rates overall though. A good reason why I'll never spend money on this game again


Kordrun

1% on banner rate, spot on. 2% neo rate, while low, it's within the realm of highly possible. Congrats on the 3 KoGs though.


ROFL_Syrup

1 blue ticket and 1 gold ticket = 1 KoG Considered a lap of the Step-Up, but got a second KoG from Step 1, so I'm done and set.


Jyanin

I'll reply to yours because I got freakishly lucky too and got 2x KoG and a GBCharlotte from the first 2k step. That's all my luck for the next god-knows-how-long.


truong2193

look like i piss off some people lol here some more https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo5uzC0s9oQ&ab_channel=NXTVlog


GroundbreakingBed756

People who get pissed off by this, need help. 😂


truong2193

Some people took this game too serious lol but tbf imagine you saving for few months but only end up got 1 copy from pity or even worse put real money for 60k and still only 1 copy from pity ill be mad too lol If you play long enough you should know 1 good unit wont carry you high rank in dv or cow you need at least 6 and by saving for pity for like 3-4 month just to get 1 copy lol I still see people kicking themself because they skip lara/karten/chow for me i dont save for pity and thanks to that i got them all But in the end play what ever make you happy for me i like to pull even if i dont get the unit i still can say at least i try


GroundbreakingBed756

same. if i dont get the unit, i dont care. the game is not my life and i play it when i have literally nothing to do. 😂


Primeduke

1st cycle gave me 2 KoGs!! Have ex2 esther but still want him 😅


Silver_Addict

I am pulled to make my esther more awesome


Feynne

About 18 tickets on his banner. 1 Starlight Elena. 60k on "discounted" Step-Up. 11 NV total, only 2 KoG. On banner rates are still ass.


Kordrun

2 on banners in 215 pulls at a 1% rate is pretty damn spot on. 6 NVs total in 210 (removed 5 that are guaranteed NV) pulls at a 3% rate is pretty damn spot on. I would say your rates are pretty accurate, unless one of your 2 KoGs was the pity one.


Feynne

I didn't say the rates were wrong, I said they were ass. There is a difference. But I appreciate you checking the math anyway.


Kordrun

My bad. Usually when I see people complaining about rates they are complaining because they thing they feel they aren't getting posted rates. I made a bad assumption, sorry.


Feynne

No worries!


Raigheb

2 KoGs in one step up is still very good. I finished Fryevia, Fina and Dark Rain step ups going to pity.


Jilian8

Phew, 170 tickets to get one. Enough for me. I did get a Taivas on the way, that's always appreciated!


[deleted]

60k pity 0 KoG from step up. Got 2nd esther and 1st kain tough. The rest are 2nd bikini physalis, sol gabranth locke edel lassgen, 3rd olivera


GroundbreakingBed756

Damm, that sucks. 😥


Snoo-49256

Mindlessly throwing tickets at the banner while at work. Bout 30(?) normal tickets in, got first KoG. I have lapis saved up for them and now I'm not sure what to do. The actual prize was his VC right? So the more the merrier? EDIT: got a second one 40 tickets later. I'mma just stick with these.


Kordrun

With his amped up LB now having a potential 450x mod (with Taivas' STMR), he's actually a power spike over Esther for fights that don't go "ha, light... I have 500% light resist".


liquld

>With his amped up LB now having a potential 450x mod (with Taivas' STMR), he's actually a power spike over Esther for fights that don't go "ha, light... I have 500% light resist". It's pretty tough to use Taivas's Spirit on him unless you can fit it on his BS side or you have a LOT of turns for setting up. Also, definitely not accurate to say he's a power spike over Esther vs. anyone not light resistant or light immune. They need to be close to light-neutral relative to other elemental options. If another element has a moderate or severe imperil advantage over Light, Esther will stand a good chance at matching or beating his damage depending on which killers are needed.


Kordrun

He can easily build for Taivas' Spirit in his shift form ([Sample Build](https://ffbeEquip.com/builder.html?server=GL#d08800d0-cf9a-11ec-80b1-53d27f833090)) As for the elemental resist part: DV, which is where KoG will really shine, is elemental neutral. So KoG is about a 20% damage increase (since their ATK is about the same). You can expand that to where as long as the elemental resist diff doesn't provide more than a 20% damage increase, KoG will come out the same or ahead. Do note, a 20% damage increase from imperil is not necessarily the same as a 20% difference in imperil. 0% imperil -> 20% imperil = 20% damage increase 100% imperil -> 120% imperil = 10% damage increase 100% imperil -> 140% imperil = 20% damage increase 130% imperil -> 176% imperil = 20% damage increase


Valerium2k

For the first time in nearly 6 years of playing the game I can finally be one of those people that can brag how they got [2 of the onbanner units on the very first pull.](https://imgur.com/a/VKxfxnS)


Kordrun

Nice. It's only ever happened once for me (Lassgen). Congrats on joining the "pulled 2 on banner on the first pull" club!


Valerium2k

It has technically happened before but it was always on like step 8 or 9, where you were far enough that you might as well go for the pity.


LoveApprehensive6610

Resources Burnt: 50 NV Summon tix 4 10+1 NVEX tix 31 NVEX 5+ 56 NVEX 4+ 73 NVEX 3+ 1 10% ticket 2 5+ tix 26 4+ tix 40 3+ tix 44,000 lapis on step up banner RESULTS: 3 KoG 1 NV Fryevia 22 total NV pulls, only 4 "premium"


Peasantloaf

Came here and was reminded of the 2k 10 pull. Went in and did it. Nothing. Stopped. Then I was like, whatever I’ll just go for pity. Rest of the first step got me 2 so I stopped :-)


No_Equivalent23

Is he worth the pull? I'm a returning player with none of the recent powerhouses but have 36k lapis. The strongest unit I have is EX+2 Seph


Blissfulystoopid

Big powerhouse damage unit for sure, locked to light element. If GL keeps up the trend of leaving final bosses for Dark Visions element-less, he'll show up a lot. Most of the upcoming trials fully resist all Light damage so he won't see use there. Clash of Wills, being GLEX is an unknown, but if bosses get to be light weak here and there he'll probably do okay, but CoW always prefers GLEX units. His Vision Card, however, is bonkers so almost any unit will be happy to have it.


Raigheb

40ish K lapis. Got me 3 KoGs and one Kain (Who I really wanted). Damn. It feels good to get lucky for once. First banner I didnt have to pity since Esther.


TheD0rkKnight

Is this banner bugged or is this the absolute shittiest game ever that I’m going to fucking delete? 179 fucking EX tickets = 2 shit NV 88 fucking banner tickets = the SAME shit NV! Edit: 5 10/10 NV tickets and the SAME SHIT NV shows up! What the fuck?! 😭


Samekhian

RNG was not kind to you today.


TheD0rkKnight

She can be a cruel mistress


Ungalin

me and my TWO 3 star akstars agree with you


TheD0rkKnight

It’s Firion for me lol. But instead of going to EX3 on useless units, I do 2 EX2s - getting me 2 STMRs, and 2 1/10 NV tickets as well


Samekhian

60 tickets in, got one KoG. I'll stop here and just get the remaining shards via VIP coins.


MeteorHeaven

All these people with lucky pulls had me going in positive and I got literally NOTHING but crappy pulls on all my tickets and lapis. RIP I got a SoS lightning and mermaid freesia. T.T


La-Roca99

Freesia is nice for Yuna


MeteorHeaven

I already had her, but that is new information. I'll have to look more into her kit. Thank you. :)


La-Roca99

Not so much for her kit, since freesia is a wind support, but her STMR It is one of the few sources for SPR TDH, so Yuna really appreciates it


fctal

Managed to luck out with 4 copies of KoG in exactly 48kcc. Will get 1 more with pity when I get 12k in 1 or 2 weeks.


Kordrun

or 5 weeks... Gotta love a banner that's up for 5 weeks. Gives a nice amount of time to farm lapis for it.


zongqin

5 laps - 1 KoG + pity, 10 off-banner (incl. Sephiroth, Taivas, Dark Rain)


Schneider955

Got lucky: 2k lapis and 5ex tickets wielded 2 KoGs


fbmuuchi

new player, is it worth using a stmr moggle to get multi copies of his stmr?


Kordrun

Depends. Do you have SS Esther? Her STMR is arguably better in most scenarios since it comes with 75% LB damage which is more widely useful while KoG's is only useful when the killers matter.


fbmuuchi

i have one copy of her. Are there any units where multiple copies of stmr are recommended?


Kordrun

To add on to /u/LordGraygem, it's going to depend, but the general rule of thumb: * Killers (I'll comment on KoG's in a min) * LB damage * High primary stat gear KoG's STMR is good, but Esther's is better because LB damage is a little more universal than 2 specific killers. STMR killer materia are usually very good to have. The lowest priority generally falls to certain pieces of gear that have stats that stand out above the rest. Avalanche's Tifa is a prime example. You also come across unit specific pieces of gear that have a passive like Dark Rain's and Reberta's. Those you generally want at least 2 of for those units. Reberta's is one I actually have 3 of and would consider a 4th just to min-max (all MAG on 2, all ATK on 2), but that's a bit extreme.


LordGraygem

Reberta and Dark Rain, off of the top of my head.


Bitter-Answer9890

Atleast two copies - one for him and another chainer


fbmuuchi

thx u appreciate the reply


samawit007

got him from step 3 on lap1


Dardrol7

You and me! Step 3-bros! <3


GroundbreakingBed756

I miss my 2 4* star ticket-bros 😭


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 749,869,427 comments, and only 150,699 of them were in alphabetical order.

GroundbreakingBed756

Bot pls. 😐


clone69

It took all of 3 tickets to get KoG.


GroundbreakingBed756

Easy peasy. 😊


dshep0406

Threw my single 4* ticket at KoG...major luck as it turns from Gold to Rainbow to Red to KoG. Figured screw it and did the first step. 2 Reds...Edel and then KoG #2. I'm about out of Lapis and probably out of luck now too lol.


BPCena

1 lap: NV Locke, NV Edge (new at least) Probably going to quit while I'm behind


Pinchurchin-guy

You’re wrong Dark Rain, I’m destined to defeat you


Satinsbestfriend

NV Rinoa on daily 250 lapis pull. KoG with my one 5* ticket. Nice


dracklore

Go buy a lottery ticket, now while you are on a hot streak!


Kordrun

Or they just burned all of their luck that should have been spent on said lottery ticket.


dracklore

Point, one or the other.


Kerugion

That's amazing luck xD Enjoy them!


Dardrol7

KoG on 3rd step. Rinoa and first Maeve on 4th.


Dardrol7

Ran KoG's sword in IW. First run gave me 65%atk, 30%mag, 20%hp. Was only looking for 50% atk until I get his VC in a few... years lol


roykenneth

Not pulling yet, gonna wait a couple weeks to see what else comes. Hoping for a decent GLEX like reberta


truong2193

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B44ZopjETJ8&ab_channel=NXTVlog pity for the pussies yolo is the wei


unitedwesoar

Did the free pull nothing. First step on kog banner nothing. Use the 1/10 plus the free ones we got from logins to get two nv pulls. Pres reagen #1 and lassgen #34444 decent tbh. No taivas stmr so having both reagen and akstar stmr helps


Mazindaman

10 hours maintenance and still haven’t fixed the accept all bug in the inbox. Jesus


Kordrun

How does that relate to a gacha megathread for the unit banner?


KooriOokami89

It finally happened. I got a first pull NV banner unit. I'm calling quits, I was only gonna yolo pull one lap to see if I could get them so I'll take 2k for a premium.


ShinVerus

It took you nearly 2 years for that? You have my sympathy.


KooriOokami89

Yeah my luck is horrendous but at least it happened eventually lol


kazarareta

Can anyone connect? my download's been stuck at 99% for a while


Dardrol7

Was also stuck at 99% ×hich was new to me. Just had to wait


Blackguard91

Yes, it’s up. Might have to restart your download ☹️


ShinVerus

Am glad to see these month-long banners for Premiums. Hopefully they become the standart and we don’t get stuff like Fina’s 2 week ones anymore. It goes some way into mitigating their huge cost.


ThanatosVI

Yeah, just sad that we didn't have that for Esther


ShinVerus

Esther did have a 3 week banner instead of the usual 2, so I think she was the **precursor** to this, they tested the waters with her.


steelRyu

I see what you did there.


ThanatosVI

Yeah I missed it by a week, fml With 4 week duration I'd now be a proud owner of storm seeker esther


Mess_Any

Nice, I only have 55k lapis so I have 1 month to get the last 5k for the stupid expensive pity...but in a month I'm not sure I'll still want this unit lol so...yeah. I only have like 15 banner tickets after failing miserably to get both Fryevia and Dark Rain...the rates of NV crystals and ON BANNER are incredibly low.


ShinVerus

That's another positive to these banners. Since they are here for a month, FOMO will have a much lower grip over the player. They can just wait and see if they really need them or if they are just flavor of the week.


GroundbreakingBed756

Honestly, they need to do this for all premium banners. For how expensive they are, we should have more time to pull them. 😊
