Hi, Im Kaci. I play too much Kingdom Hearts. If you've got questions, I've got answers.

Hey there, thanks for running this blog, it's so helpful! lol I'd love your advice: I have six Mickey&brooms, should I guilt HD Namine (no dots) or about 3-4 other 5 tier medals? I have Xeha&Vani, KA6 & KA8 that need 1 or 2 MBs So I guess copy or nova?

Great question!  Sorry for the delayed reply - I was at a convention all weekend. 

The truth is, Nova is gettin less and less useful as time goes on.  It’s a linear increase in damage where medals are becoming exponentially more powerful with buffs like Kairi EX.  My Lv. 800 Nova only does 7-8 bars of health when buffed, but a strong damage medal can do 40-50 bars.  I know that seems insane, but KEX is breaking the game.

On another note, HD Namine is a downright amazing medal.  Copy medals in general are glorious right now, given upright magic (Namine) and reversed power (HD Xion) are common slots in top end keyblades.  Having Namine guilted is a huge blessing.  But that being said, the Copy Banner (one of six copy medals per pull!) is coming up in about a month and that will be great for traits and guilts.

M&B aren’t that rare anymore though.  We get a lot in giveaways, but brooms are showing up in events all the time.  Six M&B for Namine might be a bit much, maybe wait for the Copy banner?  But Nova isn’t the way to go anymore!  That being said, if you’re just impatient and you want to start tricking out your keyblades, Namine is one of the best medals to use M&B on!

Hope that helps!

Two questions: do you think I should use my Mickey and brooms to guilt my key art #5? Or should I save them to guilt a better premium? Thanks in advance, your blog is soooooo helpful! Please keep up the good work!

Thanks for all the kind words!! ^_^

Using M&B is always a hard decision.  The global version of KHUX has failed to establish any consistent, sane way of getting them, so spending them is a big deal.  While I’m always a fan of saving for that one medal that will completely change your game, I also think holding onto something potentially useful because it “could be better later” is sort of dumb.  So… 

Key Art #5: Upright Speed, Str +3, Single target, 3 cost, x3.5 base.  I’d say probably not.  Though Upright Speed is a pretty good type right now, having a 150% single target isn’t half as useful as an AOE.  You can’t roll traits with M&B so that +3 can’t be a +6.  And with the release of medals that exceed +3 in Str and PSM Str (0.2 Kairi, Lingering Will, Seph EX) in the JP version, +3 Str will quickly be obsolete.

If you’re going to invest M&B into a high damage buff/debuff medal, I’d recommend waiting for a Tsum Tsum with Extra Attack or Dragon Maleficent.  If you’re intent on using them now, Illustrated KH2 Sora is pretty good.  General Defense Down will be the slowest buff to depreciate; in other words, -2 Def will be useful longer than +3 Str.  The JP version already has a +6 Str medal, but only -2 Def.

tl;dr - Save for a medal with some good traits and/or hopefully -2 Def.

Hope this helps!

He. Has. Arrived!!

(Huge thanks to Square Enix North America for that notice. I have always loved this series and for a long time I have felt that the players of KHUX weren’t given the attention they deserved. And this seems like a step in a more personal direction. I can’t wait to see what you guys do next!!)
