Introduction

Heard about War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius before, but wasn't interested in trying it out since I was already playing other mobile games like Fate/Grand Order (FGO), Final Fantasy Brave Exvius (FFBE), and Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia (DFFOO).

Also I heard some bad things about this game like how grindy it is.

Then, much, much later, I heard it was gonna have a collab event with Final Fantasy VII. And Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7 will be one of the playable chars to be added to WotV.

That made me think about trying out WotV. But sadly, never got the chance to do so.

After that, didn't really bother to keep up with news about WotV.

So the next time I heard about War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, it was about its upcoming collaboration event with Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children (#ad). This collab will come with another playable version of Sephiroth. Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children will also be added to the game.

Can't remember for sure now, but when I heard about this upcoming collab event, I think DFFOO had already ended its service.

I talk more about this in other posts, but after DFFOO ended its service, I tried other mobile games like Punishing: Gray Raven (PGR), Reverse: 1999 (R1999), and Honkai: Star Rail (HSR).

When I heard about the upcoming Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children collab event in War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius, thought about finally giving this game a try, especially after finding out that both Kadaj and Sephiroth will be playable chars.

Those 2 were also playable chars in DFFOO, and I guess I just miss that game. Had both Sephiroth and Kadaj fully built and maxed out there, and I used both pretty often. Ahh, wish DFFOO didn't have to end. Sigh.

Anyway, so was on the lookout for more details about the aforementioned collab event such as when it would start in the Global or English version of the game.

After seeing the collab event schedule, decided I would try out WotV once the Sephiroth banner started. By then the Kadaj banner would have started already.

First War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Account

Started playing War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius maybe a few days or so after Sephiroth's banner dropped.

WotV gives new players 10k visiore or vis if you use one of those friend invite code things, so that, plus the vis I got from starting the game, including day 1 login rewards and such, let me pull a few times on the Sephiroth banner as soon as the option to do so became available.

Thankfully, was able to get my first copy of UR or Ultra Rare One-Winged Nightmare Sephiroth (FFVIIAC) before all that vis ran out.

Here are some more pics of Sephiroth's summon lines and animation:

The pic above has the following words:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

I will never be a memory.

Used the remaining vis to pull on Kadaj's banner. But wasn't left with that much vis (started with 17,900 which soon went down to 3,900) by the time I got Sephiroth so was only able to do like 1 multi on Kadaj's banner before running out of visiore.

Since I wasn't able to get Kadaj, resumed playing through the story and doing whatever other content I could to get more visiore.

At the same time, was also working on leveling up Sephiroth and trying to max him out.

It didn't take long to realize that, in this game, having 1 single copy of a char wasn't enough to be able to fully build and max them out because you also need their shards as well as plenty of other items and materials.

You can get a few shards a day from the Barracks feature. But considering each char needs hundreds of shards to fully max limit break them, this feature isn't good if I want to be able to power up Sephiroth now or as soon as possible.

It quickly became clear that I actually need to spend vis to get shards. So aside from spending vis to pull on Kadaj's banner, will also need even more visiore to be able to get Sephiroth's shards. Then, once I do get Kadaj, will also need his shards if I want to build him.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Collab Event Banners

This made me think that I should have pulled on the banners that gave shards instead of the ones with the pity gauge.

There are a lot of banners that are currently available in War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius. There are even banners which require paid visiore.

The Sephiroth banner I pulled on has a pity gauge which increases by 5% after each 10x summon. Once the gauge becomes full or gets to 100, your next 10x summon is guaranteed to include Sephiroth.

But there is another Sephiroth banner. This one is a 4-step 10x summon banner. Each step can only be done twice. Step 3 is guaranteed to give you 40 [FFVIIAC] UR Unit Mindspheres while Step 4 is guaranteed to give you 40 Sephiroth (FFVIIAC) unit shards.

The only problem is that this banner doesn't have a pity gauge. But every time you summon here, you're guaranteed to get 100 FFVIIAC Unit Summon Medal C for each step.

You can get these medals on the other Sephiroth banner too. You can exchange these medals for various items in the shop, including more Sephiroth shards. You can also exchange for a copy of Sephiroth in this shop but you'll need 2k medals to do so.

Second War of the Visions: Final Fantasy Brave Exvius Account

Thought about starting another WotV account. Only been playing for a day or 2, but it already felt like I ended up wasting some resources. It's not just needing more vis to get shards. It was also the fact that it soon became clear that pretty much everything in this game requires either vis or gil or both, and the cost of stuff here is astronomically high.

Also, I wouldn't realize this until I started all over again, and read through the information again, but apparently, it even costs gil to borrow a support char unless you're borrowing from a friend.

In the select a support char screen, you can see gil at the bottom of every available support. I was under the impression that I was going to get that gil for using the support char so always made sure to pick the ones that give the highest amount. Little did I know that doing that was actually causing me to lose gil. LOL.

Anyway, it also felt like my 1st account was kinda unlucky since it took me a lot of vis before I was able to get Sephiroth, and I couldn't even get Kadaj yet.

So it was all the more reason to try to start over. Logged out of my 1st account then tried to create a new account.

This time, I went to the 4-step 10x summon Sephiroth banner. If I can't get Sephiroth by the time I finish pulling twice on this banner, then the plan was to reroll and try again.

Thankfully, Step 3 gave me my 1st copy of Sephiroth.

Did the Step 4 pull too to get the 40 Sephiroth shards.

I could do the 4-step 10x summon again, but opted not to for now so I could use the rest of my vis to try pulling for Kadaj next.

Since I was able to get Sephiroth and even some of his shards soon enough while still having some vis left, decided to stick with this account.

Kadaj Banners

The shard banner for Kadaj is a 1-time only 9-step 10x summon.

Steps 3 and 6 will give 40 Kadaj shards while Steps 4 and 7 will give 40 [FFVIIAC] UR Unit Mindspheres.

Pulled on this banner until I got to Step 7. After that, switched to pulling on the Kadaj banner with the pity gauge.

Just kept going through the story to get more vis to pull. On one hand, it was too bad that I had yet to get Kadaj. But on the other hand, at least the B-type FFVIIAC Unit Summon Medals I get every time I pull on the Kadaj banners will let me get more of his shards.

The pity gauge was at 25/100 when I finally got my first copy of Ultra Rare Avenger against the Planet Kadaj.

Here are some more pics of Kadaj’s summon lines and animation:

The pic above has the following words:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

We will join as a family and strike back at the planet!

Tifa Lockhart Banners

Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII is another playable char that came with this collab event. But unlike Sephiroth and Kadaj, you can get Ultra Rare Witness to the Way Forward Tifa (FFVIIAC) for free.

There is a 1-time only Tifa (FFVIIAC) guaranteed free 10x summon banner.

Here are some more pics of Tifa’s summon lines and animation:

The pic above has the following words:

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

Words aren't the only thing that tell people what you're thinking...

I thought it was nice that we got Tifa for free. But the only thing we got for free is one copy of the unit. So if you want to build Tifa, you still need to get her shards.

No wonder there are also other Tifa banners that are similar to the Kadaj and Sephiroth banners.

Tried to build Tifa too, but my priority is still Sephiroth and Kadaj. Will focus on fully building and maxing out those 2 first before anyone else since they're the reason I started playing this game in the first place.

Cloud Strife Banners

Cloud Strife from Final Fantasy VII is another playable char that came with the Advent Children collab. His banner was still up when I joined the game but opted not to pull for him since was still focused on trying to max out Kadaj and Sephiroth.

Even just focusing on 2 (or 3, if you count Tifa, but, like I said, will prioritize Sephiroth and Kadaj first before turning my attention to her) chars already requires an exorbitant amount of resources and grinding so didn't want to have to work on yet another character.

But, as a new player, did get some free pulls on the He Who Conquered Doubt Cloud (FFVIIAC) banner. Unfortunately, wasn't lucky enough to get him.

Or maybe that's actually a good thing since, if I did end up getting him, would have felt like trying to build him too, which would have meant needing to grind more to get more resources and shards and such.

Anyway, that's it for now. There's a lot more, but gonna need to continue in another post since already reached the max limit of 30 pics per post in this one.
