Well, it's almost the New Year's here in Indonesia, so I thought I'd post something real quick.
2014 was a roller coaster. From constant games, to the Bali trip, to the IGCSEs, to moving to a new school, 2014 was far more eventful compared to 2013.
So, I would like to share with you guys my top five moments in 2014.
5. Shipping in Real Life?!
...YES, I keep on forgetting to tell you guys about this, but why not do it now?
So, my class had this little Secret Santa thing going on in the early days of December. Guys give to girls and girls give to guys. Then on the last day, we reveal who we were giving to.
Turns out the person giving to me was a classmate of KirinMax's back when he was in old school, SMN, which happens to be my current school.
Cue the shipping from my cousins and KirinMax.
*sigh* Guys, come on...there's nothing wrong for a girl to enjoy the company of a guy as friends right?
Not to mention that my cousins LOVE teasing me whenever I talk about ANY guy...
I'm in for a whole trainwreck of a ride next year huh?
4. Meeting KirinMax in real life, basically the making of the Brave Frontier group
Trust me when I say that KirinMax is a pretty awesome guy. Apparently he got my ID from my math tutor, whom we shall refer to as his IGN 'Chery', and he made a group for Brave Frontier players to talk about the game and to get random help from groupmates. That's our first official meeting where we actually COMMUNICATE.
Then, it moved on to private chats about...Vocaloid, mostly. We're pretty huge Vocaloid, anime, and video game geeks, and we happen to be in the same grade too, so yeah.
More people started to join the group nearing the A-Maths IGCSE exam, two in particular being constant contributors to the discussions in the group. They are Chery's friends, Tails and CWHLGL.
Then came the camp, where I met KirinMax, Tails, and CWHLGL of them in real life. Definitely one of the funnest camps I've ever been to. Sorry guys, but the Bali trip doesn't even COMPARE to this short yet enjoyable camp.
A lot more of Chery's students joined the group soon after, and now the group is always full of conversations...in fact, this group helped me go through life in my old school, where I was constantly ignored.
So...thanks guys.
3. Hitting 5000 pageviews here
MY GOD. I was so shocked when I saw 5000 views on this blog. I mean, Brave Frontier and video game blogs IN GENERAL don't get too much attention, but...wow.
Seriously, THANK YOU SO MUCH for checking out my blog!
2. Getting ALL the GGC Spheres as of now, AND beating Creator Maxwell in a span of around two weeks.
YES PEOPLE. This actually happened, and is the reason why I stopped updating for a very long time.
I was maxing up my Maxwell because I really wanted to optimize her damage output potential with maxed out stats and an SBB 10 Endless.
That quickly changed in favor of quick Brave Bursts with my Lucca lead, however. She's still a good support unit though!
As for the GGC spheres, I have to say Dandelga was the easiest (no gems used), Leomurg was pretty annoying, Drevas was a huge marathon boss, Batootha was pretty easy because LUCCA, and Lexida was pretty easy because LODIN.
1. Being able to make friends with people my age
This has been an ongoing issue for me. Not only are my old classmates pretty stuck-up, they really dislike allowing people into their small, exclusive group of friends. At least, that's how I see it.
Which is the reason why I was shocked that I hit it off so well with KirinMax in the first place.
It made me realize that there are people in the world that are unlike my classmates. There are people that are accepting, and there are people who share my interests.
In my new school, I hit it off pretty well with most of my classmates, along with the underclassmen.
Of course, I still keep in contact with my friends in my old school: Wolves, Shiwi, Xemphis, Jervan, and Sean being just a few of them. And with the rest of the group too, of course.
So, if any of you guys are reading this...thank you so much. Really.
So....HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!
Now...if only the people would stop firing these fireworks...people have died recently in the AirAsia QZ8501...
Let's spare a few moments to pray for them...for their peace in death...for their families, friends, and everyone affected...and so that a tragedy like this doesn't happen again...

SCREW YOU EMPEROR VERDUTE!!!
I HATE THIS GUY WITH A BURNING PASSION. Well, at least I beat him...
...with only one unit alive. But still. I beat him.
I decided to challenge him shortly after obtaining Maxwell's SBB, which wasn't a really good idea, in hindsight. My team was:
-Creator Maxwell (Lead, Lord)
-Fire Goddess Ulkina (Anima)
-Ice God Arius (Guardian)
-Spear King Raydn (Anima)
-Mad God Narza (Breaker)
-Snow Queen Signas (Friend, Lord)
Spheres used: Legwand (Maxwell), Drevas (Ulkina), Medulla (Raydn and Signas), Dandelga (Narza), Evil Shards (Ulkina and Narza) and Leomurg (Arius).
I will be thanking that Leomurg a whole friggin lot in this fight.
So, every two turns, this boss will unleash a huge AOE, and the turn after that, he puts up a damage mitigation shield. For the first 50% of his HP, at the very least. Then he uses an STBB that deals 99,999 damage. No, you didn't read that wrong. 99,999 damage.
Yes, it can be mitigated, it dropped to 42,000 or so when coupled with Narza's SBB AND Signas's LS, but you still can't survive...
Needless to say, you will need Revive Lights, Revives, and Crescent Dews if you're aiming for a no gem clear. Any combination of the two will work.
Then, this guy will be able to randomly use a strong AOE until...30% HP, I think? Then he uses the 99,999 STBB AGAIN. Only, guess what? He attacks two units this time.
Now's the time when I should be saying 'you're pretty much home free', but nope. Because he is EXTREMELY bulky, resists critical hits, and hits really hard.
No, seriously. The only unit that remained standing was my Arius, with Leomurg. On the last turns of the fight, the Leomurg AND his SBB helped regain his health to full before Verdute started spamming his BB again. Then the cycle continues until he dies.
Yep. This is why I LOVE my tanker-build Arius.

Tales of Link...help...
I should be studying. But this will be quick, I promise!
As people in Brave Frontier JP know, Brave Frontier and Tales of Link are having a collaboration right now. So, Tales of Link have a few Brave Frontier units as party members; namely, Maxwell, Tillith, and Vargas. Tillith as a present box gift, Maxwell as a reward for beating her quest, and Vargas as a Versus Quest character (think of it as Brave Frontier Vortex Event units).
I got a Fire King Vargas, and obtained my Tillith. I also got a few codes for Yuri in my JP account, and I got Rita and Stahn there too. Rita~
BUT MAXWELL IS FREAKING HARD. Both in Brave Frontier and in Tales of Link.
I need Christmas Colette friends, so if you do use her, can you please add my ID? I use a Sara (Vargas ver.) lead, who provides a nice 1.5 ATK boost to all character types.
My ID: 254 , 867 , 743
My other notable characters, if you want me to change leaders, please tell me who from this list:
-Mint Adenade 3*
-Annie Barrs 3*
-Lilith Aileron 3*
-Fire King Vargas 3*
-Luke fon Fabre 3*

-Milla Maxwell 4*
-Senel Coolidge 4*
-Veigue Lungberg 4*
-Ludger Will Kresnik 4*
-Sara (both original Sara and Vargas Sara) 4*
-Nanaly Fletch 4*

Grand Jelly Made Easy!
Grand Jelly used to be one of the most frustrating bosses in Brave Frontier history. Now, due to a recent update that introduces a certain OP trial unit, Grand Jelly has become a joke. Not only that, there seems to be a Global-exclusive glitch, covered by Ushi Gaming Channel, that affects the LS of said OP trial unit, along with two other units.
Yes, people, I mean Creator Maxwell.
The one unit I have resigned to the fate of never having before Rare Summoning a Breaker Narza and a Lord Copra. The one unit I can never seem to beat in JP, requiring me to retool my team quite a bit. The one I can oneshot in Mistral now, even with subpar units (at least, with my strong Global file's standards).
No seriously. Due to the advent of Maxwell, Grand Jelly is a joke!
My team for this particular fight is:
Ice God Arius (Lead)
Goddess Axe Michele
Ruin Goddess Zellha
Inferno Goddess Elza
Terminator Lilith
Creator Maxwell (friend)
AND I PRETTY MUCH DID A 2-TURN KILL WITH THEM.
Turn 1, I used Lilith's SBB to check out damage done. Then I BB spammed and whaddya know?
Elza's SBB + Michele's ATK and fire buff + Maxwell's SBB + Maxwell's LS + Loads and Loads of Sparks = Overkill
I think the glitch comes into play for this.
Alright, so Brave Frontier TH recently discovered a Global-exclusive glitch, which Ushi did experiments on, where from the second hit onward, an attack buffed with an element-addition buff will be affected by the LS of Maxwell, Mare, and Ultor. This does not happen in JP. In fact, I decided on this team setup after learning about this glitch, since Zellha and Elza have 30-hit SBB, Maxwell has a 33-hit SBB, Michele gives fire buff and buffs ATK, and Lilith has a large number of hits. Arius is my failsafe healer.
Another thing to mention about the Maxwell is that she's using the Amanohabaken sphere (75% boost to ATK and boost to CRIT rate for first 2 turns) AND the Death Axe (boosts CRIT rate when HP is full). Imagine that.
So...there you have it! How to make Grand Jelly a total joke!

Beating Fallen God Lagzal in Global!
Literally, this guy is a pain. I have been trying to formulate a strategy to defeat him with no gems for at least A MONTH now, and it is only now that I found a way to beat him. With papers, exams, the Christmas play, IB being a headache, and my cousins who WILL NOT STOP SHIPPING ME WITH MY CLASSMATE. More on that in the second post, which I will put up shortly as a compensation. Also, a third for Grand Jelly will come shortly!
Alright! Back to Lagzal! Now, Dark Demigod Ardin is said to have fought this guy, according to the unit guide entry for him. He is a Light element unit, and the reward for clearing his dungeon is a gem and a Sphere Frog.
Now, my team stats.
Grahdens (Leader)
Level: MAX
Type: Lord
HP: 6134
ATK: 2158
DEF: 2040
REC: 1800
LS: Ancient Authority (20% boost to all stats, 15% damage reduction from light and dark units)
BB: Leader's Barrage (13 combo light and dark AOE, gives light and dark elements to all allies' attacks for 2 turns)
BB level: 2
Sphere: Medulla Gem (20% boost to all stats)
Lightning Gun Rowgen
Level: 28
Type: Lord
HP: 5748
ATK: 2221
DEF: 1878
REC: 1579
BB: Single Kill (Powerful STBB, chance to inflict weakness)
BB level: 7
Sphere: Medulla Gem (20% boost to all stats)
Ice God Arius
Level: 77
Type: Guardian
HP: 7004
ATK: 2067
DEF: 2332
REC: 2193
BB: Sacred Sting (13 combo powerful AOE, chance to inflict weakness)
BB level: 10
SBB: Bracing Slash (16 combo powerful AOE, chance to inflict weakness, heals party)
SBB level: 3
Sphere: Medulla Gem (20% boost to all stats)
Mad God Narza
Level: 23
Type: Breaker
HP: 5674
ATK: 1934
DEF: 1845
REC: 1878
BB: Idolizer (Halves damage taken for 1 turn, negates status ailments for 3 turns)
BB level: 10
SBB: Mad God's Wings (Halves damage for 1 turn, negates status ailments & increases BB gauge when damage is taken for 3 turns)
SBB level: 1
Sphere: Medulla Gem (20% boost to all stats)
Alpha Tree Altri
Level: MAX
Type: Oracle
HP: 6661
ATK: 1498
DEF: 1960
REC: 1874
BB: Spectral Purge (Greatly recovers HP, clears status ailments)
BB level: 10
SBB: Cosmic Radius (Greatly recovers HP, clears status ailments, nullifies status ailments for 3 turns)
SBB level: 3
Spheres: Sacred Jewel (15% boost to all stats), Refined Gem (nullifies all status ailments)
Literally, I plugged 6 froggies into Narza just for his SBB. And, if it weren't for the SBB, I would've lost halfway into the battle.
Also, I brought an Ultor friend. Pretty good choice, if I do say so myself.
Alright, so a bit of info about Lagzal. I literally had no plan facing him. All I remembered was trying to use Narza's BB/SBB as often as possible, and just spamming Rowgen's BB. Tree on guard mode unless used to heal. Grahdens only for his LS. Arius as a backup healer as well as a damage dealer.
One thing to make sure of: When the text 'I can hear someone singing...' comes up, GUARD. Lagzal unleashes a strong STBB, and your Ultor is damned when he Taunts Lagzal. I learned that the HARD way.
Not only that, he heals 20k HP (I think) when he reaches a certain point (around 20%), so make sure your team can still bring him down to 0.
That's really all I can say about this guy. Mitigator + Ultor is a great combo to work with for this fight, and have a healer or two is handy. Not only that, just bring a status nullifier to be extra safe.
Grand Jelly coming soon! But really, that guy is easy due to a certain OP trial unit...
