[Guide] A Beginner’s Guide for War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius

We had our go on the most popular Final Fantasy mobile game now, War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius and we thought we could give you guys a War of the Visions beginner’s guide to further understand the basics and the to-dos of the game!

Gacha

There’s 2 types of things you can get from Gacha, Vision Card (ビジョン) and Characters (ウニット). Vision Cards are equipment cards that each character can benefit with 2 different effects: 

1. Equipped Character Boosts
2. Party Ability

If you are a new player, we highly suggest you to prioritize Characters rather than Vision Cards

At the start of the game, you will be given a free 10 Gacha Roll during your starting tutorial. The rates for the 10 Gacha Rolls are at 2% for UR, High chance for SSR and firm chances for SR and R. Well, if you are unlucky enough, you can even strike a 10 Roll without SSR.

Don’t worry, you can still catch another chance with the free gifted 10 Rolls from the pre-register event! So let us introduce our leaderboard list of characters in different stats.

Jobs

There are also a wide variety of jobs within FFBE War of the Visions, The game got at the least 19 classes!

Estimated Strongest Character List

Within the game, Agility (素早さ) directly affects Move. So, we made this list based on the highest speed in character stats. Move is the “turns” of the game where this might have an effect on how many times you get to attack in sequence. If you speed is higher than the opponents, you can attack multiple times in between each enemies.

Able to move to your targets are also very important. So remember to consider giving points to abilities like “JUMP +1” and “MOVE +1”. So we included the list of characters that you might want to pick up in your gacha rolls in this War of the Visions beginner’s guide.

Strongest Physical Damage Dealer

1st Place – STERNE LEONIS

Sterne is a high damaging close range character. He holds the highest damage in the game while still able to use troops and ninjas for different attacks. He can be utilized to set up a lot of different team compositions.

2nd Place – THANCRED WATERS

Thancred is a Physical Damage killer. Due to his high Agility, he can counter attack very hard.

3rd Place – IRENE

Irene hits hard but is quite slow.

4th Place – FEDERICA

5th Place – ZIZA

Ziza’s Agility is high, so she can attack multiple times in between turns. Personally, she works best as a thief, she has one of the highest chance to steal a high valued item.

Strongest Magic Damage Dealer

1st Place – MEDIANA

The Strongest Magician in the game in our opinion is Mediena. She can use rare pure magic with AP expenditures. She is the first that can use Limit Break skill to deal an Area of Effect Damage.

2nd Place – MACHÉRIE HOURNE

Can break out from status effects, raise defensive stats against elemental attacks. She can be considered as one of the best supports in the game. She can also switch jobs between a Monk and a Black Mage. 

3rd Place – GILGAMESH

4th Place – Y’SHTOLA

5th Place – MARGUARITE

Strongest Support Characters

1st Place – ENGELBERT

The best support character for us would be Engelbert, He has his own shield that helps in reducing damage.

2nd Place – GILGAMESH

3rd Place – MARGUARITE

4th Place – MONT LEONIS

5th Place – PHOEBE

Best Healers

1st Place – AYAKA

The strongest healer should should be Ayaka. She can not only revive your characters, she can also do an Area of Effect Heal for teammates. She also has a Limit Break Healing and defensive buff.

2nd Place – INORI

She is the best solo unit healer in SSR. If you don’t own any of the UR healers, we suggest you to use her, she can also be a buffer for a team.

3rd Place – PHOEBE

4th Place – CADIA

5th Place – Y’SHTOLA

Strongest PvP Character

1st Place – ENGELBERT

PvP features an auto attacking, so skills that can taunt enemy are highly valued. Engelbert has a taunt skill which in this sense pushes him to be the top pick for us as he is also a high damage dealer as well!

2nd Place – STERNE LEONIS

3rd Place – THANCRED WATERS

4th Place – MEDIANA

5th Place – FEDERICA

Best Characters for grinding

1st Place – MEDIANA

We suggested her is because of her ranged Area of Effect damage.

2nd Place – STERNE LEONIS

3rd Place – IRENE

4th Place – Y’SHTOLA

5th Place – SHADOWLYNX

Character, Skills and Jobs.

There are 2 ways that the character can limit break (in terms of character):

1.Limit Break

Limit Break cost character shards with the count of 40/80/120/160/200, which makes it a total of 600 shards needed to fully limit break a character.

2. Awakening

Other than the character levels, there is also Job levels. Characters level 40 and below can only level a Job up to level 6. Character level lower than 50 will only allow to level a Job until level 9. The secondary job on the other hand is based of the character’s star., if the character have 2 star, you can have a secondary job, if the has 4 star, if can get a tertiary job.

After leveling up a job, there’s equipment to be dealt with. Equipment has an ability tree which you can access it by clicking the option position at the second from the top at the right of your screen. We highly suggest you not prioritize on skill upgrading first as it costs a whole bunch of gold.

Summoning Beasts

This is a common thing for all you Final Fantasy fans out there on the summoning creatures. Some of the popular ones are like Ifrit, Siren and Shiva are also in the game. These summons will help you develop your characters even stronger. Summons also requires enhancing and awakening to get stronger.

Shop

In this War of the Visions beginner’s guide, we will be bringing you through the important stuff that you should get in the list of multiple shops in the game.

Shop Separation：

1. Hourly Refresh Material Shop

Inside this part of the shop you can use your in game gold or gems to purchase shards and equipment. We highly suggest that you purchase the 4 stars and above shards

1. Paid Shop (Using Real life currency)

1. 1 Million Downloads Memorial Shop

We suggest you to buy all the gold items inside!

Moogle Shop

1. FFXIV Event Shop
2. Event Gold Shop

We recommend you to not touch into the content of this shop, go and roll some limited characters unless you owned it, then you can start trading the shards for the white hair character.

1. Friendship Shop

Don’t spend anything here yet.

1. PvP Token Shop

Don’t spend anything here also

1. And every other shops in the Moogle Shop sections

We still highly doubting the value of these items are worth it. 

1. Limited Time Shop

You will get a surprise Limited Time Shop by playing the main storyline, each time it appears you will have 30 minutes to decide to buy the content or not.

Stamina Usage

We highly suggest you to finish the Main Story first!

1. Time Limited Dungeons
