All information based on JP version and is thus subject to change for GL.

Preface

The main reason I am making this FAQ is for similar reasons as to why I made a previous thread on (incoming shameless plug) passive stat caps: questions about 7★ units, their STMRs, etc. get asked an exorbitant amount in the Daily Help Thread. So, I decided to make a thread detailing how you get a 7★ unit, their STMRs, and answer many of the most freqently asked questions regarding both. As a bonus, I also included a section on UoC tickets as well.

As 7★ units have been a thing for a while now on JP, this thread is mainly aimed at newer players to JP and GL users who are curious about how they work, or just want to prepare for when 7★ awakenings hit GL.

7★ Units & STMRs

7★ Step-by-Step Process

I will be using Lightning as an example.

1. Awaken Lightning^A to 6★ and level her up to max level.

2. In the section of the UI where you would go to select a unit to awaken, hit the button in the upper-right to bring up a list of all 5★ units you own.

3. Find your duplicate Lightning^B and select it, following the on-screen prompts in order to turn it into the necessary 7★ awakening material.

4. Go to awaken Lightning^A just as you normally would and awaken her to 7★.

STMR Step-by-Step Process

I will be using the Lightning from the previous steps as an example.

1. Select Lightning^A and proceed to fuse units to her as you would Cactuars, stat pots, etc.

2. Select Lightning^C and fuse it into Lightning^A. Lightning^A will gain 50% towards her STMR & you will be given a 50% Trust Moogle (All), delivered to you in your mailbox.

3. Now fuse Lightning^D into Lightning^A just as you did with Lightning^C. Lightning^A will gain 50% towards her STMR, completing it; however, you WON'T gain a 50% Trust Moogle (All).

• Alternative 1: You could also awaken Lightning^C to 7★ and then fuse that Lightning into Lightning^A. Doing so will still get you 100% towards Lightning^A 's STMR and the one 50% Trust Moogle (All) but will result in two 7★ units being made. See the UoC Ticket's section below for why you may wish to do this.

• Alternative 2: It is possible to get two 50% Trust Moogle (All)'s and a unit's STMR by using 5 units instead of 4. For those curious on how, see the bonus section at the bottom of the thread.

F.A.Q.

Q. So, it's two units for a 7★ and 4 units total for an STMR?

A. Yes.

Q. Do I lose the duplicate unit needed to awaken a unit to 7★?

A. Yes.

Q. What about their TMR? I haven't finished obtaining it yet.

A. You will gain a special Trust Moogle for that unit's TMR. It will have the same completion % as the unit you turned into the awakening material. You can give this Trust Moogle other Trust Moogles to obtain that TMR but you cannot put it in parties.

Q. What if I already obtained the unit's TMR, will I still get a 100% Trust Moogle that takes up unit box space?

A. No.

Q. Okay. Well, how about if I 100% the Trust Moogle later, will that stay in my box?

A. Yes.

Q. How much does it cost to awaken a unit to 7★?

A. 3 million gil.

Q. When I awaken a unit to 7★ do they reset to level 1?

A. No. Unlike previous awakenings, when you awaken a unit to 7★ they start at level 101.

Q. I've heard that equipping a 7★ unit with their own TMR provides a benefit, is this true?

A. Yes. All 7★ units gain an extra ability when equipped with their own TMR. The effects vary greatly, so please check the reddit wiki to see what each unit gains.

Q. Does equipping a unit's STMR to them also trigger that unit's TMR ability?

A. No. Only their regular TMR will trigger their TMR ability.

Q. If I equip two copies of a unit's TMR to them, do I gain their TMR ability twice?

A. No. You only gain the effects of the ability once. For example, if I equip two of Lightning's TMR to her 7★ unit, she will still only gain 80% passive attack instead of 160%.

Q. If I awaken a unit to 7★ before getting their TMR, can I still obtain that unit's TMR?

A. Yes. A 7★ unit's TMR and STMR are obtained independently of each other. After awakening a unit who hasn't obtained their TMR yet, you may still feed them Trust Moogles or bring them to the Earth Shrine.

Q. Does the level of the unit I am awakening to 7★ matter?

A. Yes. The unit you want to awaken to 7★ must be 6★ max level.

Q. Does the level or rarity of the unit I fuse into the unit I'm awakening matter?

A. No. This is because you don't actually fuse it. See the awakening process detailed above for more on this.

Q. Does the level or rarity of the unit I fuse into a 7★ in order to gain their STMR matter?

A. Not for the purposes of gaining their STMR.

Q. Does a 7★ unit need to be max level to obtain their STMR?

A. No. As soon as you awaken them you can fuse dupes to obtain their STMR.

Q. Can STMR's only be equipped to their respective unit?

A. No. STMRs work exactly like TMRs, in that once you've obtained them, any unit (assuming they meet the requirements) can equip them.

Q. I've seen limited-time units getting 7★ awakenings. I thought the developers said they wouldn't do this.

A. The developers never said they wouldn't give limited-time units 7★ awakenings.

Q. I noticed that you get a 50% Trust Moogle (All) when fusing a dupe into a 7★ unit. Does this happen every time?

A. No. You only get the 50% Trust Moogle the first time you fuse a dupe into a 7★ unit.

Q. Is the only way to obtain an STMR through fusing duplicate 5★ base units?

A. As of now, yes. The developers made mention of possible Super Trust Moogles, but as with many things they've made mention of, we haven't heard anything new since.

Q. So I can't gain progress towards a unit's STMR through farming Earth Shrine?

A. Nope.

Q. What happens to abilities you enhanced for a unit after awakening them to 7★?

A. Nothing. If you enhanced a unit before awakening it to 7★, those abilities stay enhanced.

Q. What if I didn't enhance a unit's abilities before awakening it, can I still do that?

A. Yes.

Q. How does awakening a 7★ unit work with regards to stat pots?

A. Any stats you've gained through giving a unit stat pots will remain. (IE: a unit with 30 ATK from pots will still have 30 ATK from pots when awakened.)

Q. Does the cap on how high you can raise a unit's stats through stat pots increase when you awaken them?

A. Yes. For details on how much certain units rise, see the reddit wiki.

Q. What if the unit I chose to turn into the 7★ awakening material I had given stat pots too, is anything refunded?

A. No.

Q. What about if I've leveled up a unit's LB before awakening them to 7★, what happens with that?

A. Nothing. It works the exact same way it does when you awaken any unit to the their next rarity (IE: if you leveled their LB to 25 it will still be level 25 when you awaken them).

UoC Tickets

What are UoC Tickets?

UoC Tickets are a new type of ticket that allow you to obtain a 5★ base unit of your choice. In actuality, one UoC Ticket is 1/10 of a 5★ base unit. This is because you actually need 10 UoC Tickets in total to get one unit with them.

How are UoC Tickets obtained?

The main source of UoC Tickets comes from Mog King events. One is very cheap at just 1000 event currency, but the second is expensive at 150,000 event currency. Additionally, some have been given out as mission rewards. Of particular note are the ones pertaining to the number of units you've awakened to 7★. It's because of this that you may wish to consider awakening a second unit to 7★ when looking to get a unit's STMR.

F.A.Q.

Q. Can I get recently released units with UoC Tickets?

A. Yes.

Q. What level/rarity are the units that I obtain with UoC Tickets?

A. 5★ rarity and at level 1.

Q. How does the actual process work?

A. With 10 UoC Tickets, go to the "free summoning" section and select the UoC banner. Hit the button to use 10 tickets and you will be presented with a screen containing all non-limited 5★ base units. Find the one you want and select it. Confirm you want to summon it and then the game will drop a pretty little rainbow crystal for you containing your new unit.

Q. Can I get limited-time units with UoC Tickets?

A. Ha..ha..ha............ You're joking, right?

Q. I take that as a no. Figures. But what about during their banner?

A. Come now, you don't seriously expect them to do something completely reasonable like that now, do you?

Bonus: 7★ Awakening & STMR w/5 units

This way of doing things obviously doesn't pertain to the majority of players, but I'm including it because it is a way to use an extra dupe to gain an extra 50% Trust Moogle (All) when going for a unit's STMR.

1. Awaken Unit A to 7★.

2. Awaken Unit B to 7★.

3. Fuse a 5th unit into Unit B. Unit B will now have 50% towards it's STMR and you will get a 50% Trust Moogle (All).

4. Fuse Unit B into Unit A. Unit A will gain 100% towards their STMR and you will receive another 50% Trust Moogle (All).
