A list of a bunch of commonly asked questions, with a easy to copy/paste system to find the answer (Ctrl-F to facilitate search) to avoid constantly re-searching the same info over and over again. Originally created for my personal use, but all are welcome. WIP

Due to how code box works, copy-pasta all end with ! to facilitate copy-pasta mouse dragging, and/or may contain commenting notes.

Imbue/Imbune/Add element to attack

Imbues are only applied to physical/hybrid attack-types. Magic attack-types do not benefit from them.  In addition, they do not override any weapon elements or pre-existing imbues, but add to it.

However, there are some skills that are physical attack-types that deal magic damage-type, which do benefit from the imbues (some of Lila's skills being an example).

Dualcast Dispel/Dispelga Trick

`1` Dual-cast something with dispel/dispelga as the second cast.  
`2` Start casting.  
`3` Almost immediately after casting, long-press one of your unit (preferably the unit you want to dispel if your using ST dispel).  
`4` Once the unit menu appears, select to target the unit.

Note: if you have trouble with Step #3, you can instead long-press the enemy (who typically has a bigger hitbox), and swap over to your unit once the info screen appears.

!

DW Weapon Slotting

Depends on whether the unit has (and commonly uses) his/her/its multicast.

If multicasting, strongest statted weapon goes in the left-slot (right hand) as that is the only weapon used during multicast.  
If not multicasting, strongest statted weapon goes in the right-slot (left hand) to maximize chain damage.

Only the flat Atk stat matter when slotting in weapons. Killers, elements, percentage boosts, ... are shared between both regardless which one has it.

! Atk-scaling physical attacks only.  Doesn't matter for all else.

Reduce Encounter Rates

> If you are minimizing encounter in most exploration, 100 would be enough (counted additively). But if you are a hardcore bahamut farmer, there might be a value in having 150, though the effect would be minimal, if it exist at all.

7* Elza/Maxwell/Brave Frontier/Arianna

Short answer: Unlikely (reading between the lines)

> What is the future of GLEX limited units like Yun, Elza, the xmas and halloween units, and most especially CK Ariana in this 7* era?? Would they be able to upgrade in their 7* form in the future?

> Hiroki : Yun and the Christmas FFBE original units are currently being planned to be awaken to 7★, but regarding Elza [and other Brave Frontier] and Ariana **there are currently no plan for their new collaboration** therefore they will not be available for awakening

Cover Tank Placement/Position/not get Ray-Jacked

The position of cover tanks only matter if there is a chance they could get covered by another unit as it would prevent the cover tank from properly cover the party (usually due to passive ST cover from the other unit).  To minimize this occurrence, place the cover tank in the last most position possible (ie: slot 5 if not using a friend tank) due to how cover evaluation is done in game.

Reflect not reflecting spells

>* Does not reflect spells with an ignore SPR component such as Ultima or Meteor.
>* Does not reflect Black Magic spells with a level of 8 or higher, such as Tornado.
>* While there are general patterns, there is no set rule, for example Flare cannot be reflected for an unknown reason.
>* Reflect will not work if the unit with reflect is performing any action.
>* Spells that are bouncing from another reflect cannot be reflected. Ex. If a monster is using reflect, your own reflect will not bounce it back.
