Bought it for my friend.

Well I was explaining the mechanics of both skills. Technically, Self-Destruct can activate even with 0 MP but it will do 0 damage lol. You'll still see the animation but no damage lol.

I agree with funnyTONE. Only Ace 4* is worth keeping.

I'd say that fresh one is overpriced.

Traded de better don't ask, we make no rooms for regrets!! Lol. But I like the Morrighan although as usual I prefer fast, wanna trade with my heavily stoned wise Raijin? /GG.

That's the reason why I always tell newbies there is no such thing as price tags for 5* guardians. It all depends on the buyer & seller.

Haha, can comment a bit la. Eventually they'll get the hang of things.

Morrighan cause HF Phoenix is a weaker version of Sphinx Empress.
Only Fast type HF Phoenix can be considered to have cause even though it supposed to be an elemental attacker, int is bad cause it'll further reduce it's already low atk. So that makes int HF Phoenix QS really bad.

Someone is looking for a bad type Shiva; http://guardiancross-forum.com/Thread-Int-...-shiva-Agni-dom

The catch is must have bad type dominion or Agni. For a FSeMP Int Shiva, I'd say it's worth it lol.

Nah don't worry about it, plenty of chance to get another Morrighan.

Anyway, personally I'd agree on the Morrighan types. But I'm not sure about others.

You see, the newer guardians are getting more complicating....which is good in my opinion. Makes the game less boring & requires more thinking. Probably because I like to think lol. The newer guardians are no longer "fixed". Fixed as in only 1 build or 1 way. Such as "Fast is the best & no doubts about it!!" or "it must learn Self-Destruct, +20% wis & Death +4!!" or "the only way is that, this & that!!".

For instance, no here can agree on the best skills for Crocell, or the best type for HF Phoenix or whether should delete Last Stand for Gilgamesh (yes some experts deleted LS on Gilga) or Serenade Banshee skill sets. It's more on personal opinions now days.

For me, how I analyze & judge is simple. First I look at their overall stats, mainly just wis or atk to determine whether they're an elemental or a physical attacker. Then I look at their skills, whether it complements their stats or not. Finally I put my personal taste into consideration which are;

1) "Speed is #1 while Damage is #2"
2) "There's no tanking in GC"
3) "Luck dependent skill sucks"

HF Phoenix is an elemental attacker with QS. So wis & atk will be good on it. Int increases wis but reduces atk, thus spoiling the QS. Powerful reduces agi but that's fine with me since HF has super high agi naturally. So even powerful type is still faster than most guardians. So I rank HF Phoenix fast>powerful>int>brave>sexy>chaotic.

As for Thor, he's simpler than the rest - Physical attacker with Last Stand, just like Nuada. I don't believe in tanking & I prefer speed so Fast>Powerful>chaotic>brave>sexy>int.

This is all personal opinion already since some people still believes in tanking, so they'll say chaotic is the best. Some people prefer damage so they'll say powerful is the best (yes there are experts who says Powerful Nuada & Thor is the best). And some people just think sexy is bad for everything.

Being able to make your own judgement is important because it helps to value a guardian when trading too. This is what MBR is trying to point out. Believe in your own decisions, we're here to discuss & help you build your taste & opinions & beliefs so that one day you'll be able to make your own decision & share your own opinions too. We don't just buta-buta spoon feed all the time. You'll become an expert with your own opinions one day, so come back here & guide the newbies. This is the cycle in a community.

So if you believe Powerful Nuada is the best, you'll definitely expect higher from him. Or if you believes Self-Destruct on Crocell is good, you'll think Crocell with no SD is broken & values her very low. That's why sometimes to you, people willing to trade their "best" type for your "lousy" type. Because to them, they're trading their lousy for your good lol.

PM me your number so that your ticket tomorrow isn't wasted.

Yes eating up illicit card isn't 100% safe but do as what SE has recommended.
Also there's no 100% sure way of detecting illicit cards, today the system may be able to detect after 4 trades, so the hackers will wise up & improve their hacks to 6 trades & you all will think you're safe after 4 trades. So the best bet is still to stay away from the Ace. Although there are best types illicit cards, but at least it's lesser than Ace.

Someone reported that their giatn shadow disappeared for a long time too but turned out to be Bugbear lol. Troll from SE.

It's simple to see why more than 70% of the aces are duped. Just look at GC Forum, count how many 5* ace are for trade & how many 4* ace are for trade. Don't you think there should be more, much more 4* ace for trade?

Also, high reputation means little cause the guy may be lucky that the card he hold didn't become illicit in his hands.

I thought I saw tmkhaled claimed that it'll happen today?

2500 posts de, funnyTONE.....where are you??

That's true, but I won't overpay her just for being extinct.

Performance wise, I'd be more than happy to replace her with Ace Reborn or Sonic Stymp Bird. It's stats is just slightly lower than Barbariccia. And it comes at half her non reborn price.

Being extinct isn't a big deal, we have 1 generation of guardian ahead of thr FFIV guardian series already which is the new snowfield guardians. Soon the new desert (Kari & friends) will come, making the FFIV another generation older.
