May Coliseum is officially up! It finally got a much needed update. Now the Tiers go up to 22. I… I’m not sure what that’s all about, but… uh. Yeah. 22. Tier 11 only has 50 rounds now and thankfully skips ahead by 9 rounds instead of 3! Beating Tier 11 gets you 900 coins and kicks you into Tier 12. Tier 12 has 100 rounds and lets you skip by 7 rounds. Beating Tier 12 gives you 1500 coins and kicks you into Tier 13. I’m not sure how many rounds Tier 13 has (I want to get this guide up ASAP) but all subsequent tiers reward a magic mirror on completion. Honestly they should have put Brooms instead of Mirrors but whatever. I’m not salty. You’re salty. Shut up.
*+1 PSM Def ** +1 Str, +2 PS Def, +1 M Def *** +2 PS Def, +1 M Def **** +1 Str ***** +3 S Str, +3 P Def [C] Caution - enemy attacks first
Note: Bunch O’ Balloons is really cool. After you kill it, it makes this huge explosion that damages all the other enemies in the group! I hope we see more of this one.
The biggest change I notice in this Coliseum versus last month: there are a lot less buffs. This probably devalues the cleanse of iB&B, which was just coming out at the beginning of April. A lot of the rounds are Power enemies too.
Those Pumpkin Soldiers are going to be a real pain late in the game, as well as the Black Copter Fleet. Honestly, we are pretty familiar with these guys by now so there’s not a lot I can tell you.
Rewards: Everything is the same as always. The ranking reward is Second Chance II, which is just Second Chance with a higher proc rate. Top 10k get one, top 1k get two, top 100 get three. Everyone in the top 100k also get glasses that match the Chip and Dale avatar boards.
Blue Board Title: The Chosen (what a badass title!) Pink Board Title: Hard Worker (…wait so girls have to work hard but guys just get to be chosen?? That’s… a surprisingly apt description of modern day gender equality)
Okay, that’s it. I have some homework to do, so GOOD LUCK THIS MONTH!!
Yo. KHFAQ here. Recruiting again! We’ve got three free slots open and we’re trying to make sure we get our crown this month. We’re sitting at 48th place right now, and that’s a little too close for comfort. o_o
If you want to just join for the lux event, that’s cool, but we would love to have some new players! We have an insanely active Discord and we’re all really helpful and social people. For Lux farming, I’ve shared my 150 KDG AB3 Max+Lux with 40% Raid damage and Extra Attack. We all take this game very seriously. We don’t spend an outrageous amount of money on the game, but we are constantly playing and working together.
Requirements: ~Please have a couple hundred million lux: half of our group already has over 100m. ~Be cool with 2pm Pac/5pm East Lux Boost times! ~A passion for playing ~If you want to stay with us, Discord helps us organize everything.
That’s it! Hope to hear from you! Send me a message and include your ID#. <3

Edit: We also have iRoxas and HD Namine for the HSC!!
New High Score Challenge! Though this HSC actually has a pretty fun design, SENA keeps our spirits low with terrible multipliers, no mercy pulls, and only two chances at trait rolls.
Rewards:
Mickey & Minnie and Pluto B. M&M is General Defense Down by two tiers for one turn. Which is great. But it’s single target. Pluto B is Power Defense Up by two tiers for one turn. In short, M&M is pretty damn good (situationally) and Pluto is pretty damn bad (situationally).
To get M&M, score in the top 5k. To roll for traits, you need 8 million, which will probably land you in the top 1k for guilt.
To get Pluto, just score a million points. It’s pretty easy. To guilt Pluto, score 4.5 million and land in the top 2k.
Honestly, neither of these medals are going to do you any good guilted. You’re basically fighting for the right to have a chance at rolling the Extra Attack trait.
Multipliers:
Five medals you’ll never get and one 14% medal you can snag for 3k jewels.
I’m a little upset over the “no mercy” for HD Namine or Illustrated Roxas (21% each). But I’m even more upset that the other three newbies (Yaoi Hand Ansem, Cat, and Ugly People; 10%) aren’t even guaranteed! AND I AM EVEN MORE UPSET that we have no 7% multipliers!!
Anyway. The enemy list:
First Room: Lv. 50 Shadow [P] Lv. 50 Soldier [S] Lv. 50 Blue Rhapsody [M]
Pick your path:
Power Lv. 100 Dire Plant x3 Lv. 150 Large Body x3 Lv. 200 Armored Knight x2 Lv. 250 Mega-Shadow Lv. 300 Large Armor x2 Lv. 400 Morning Star Lv. 500 Red Copter Fleet
Magic Lv. 100 Bag O’ Coal x3 Lv. 150 Darkball x3 Lv. 200 Wizard x2 Lv. 250 White Rose Lv. 300 Fire Plant x2 Lv. 400 Dark Plant Lv. 500 Blue Copter Fleet
~*Target*~ Lv. 50 Shadow [P]
I didn’t mark down buffs and debuffs this time because by now we are all pretty well-acquainted with these enemies. I’ll say that the Speed path definitely has the most buffs, so bring a cleanse if you think you’ll need it. Other than that, go with whatever works best for you. The Copter Fleet is obviously the biggest hurdle: Second Chance and really strong single target will be your go-to for this one. Remember to build as much Str Up and Def Down as possible. Take a friend’s KDG if you aren’t using a multiplier friend medal.
My 0% run ended at 4.78 million. Based on the magic of math, that means you’ll need 67%, but I’m sure absolutely no one will agree with me. Since there is no guarantee in the entire medal draw this time around, getting anything over 14% (35% with a friend medal) is just sheer luck. And for what? Two chances at rolling Extra Attack on M&M? I dunno. Doesn’t seem like very good odds. Even at 1900 jewels per pull, it’s still littered with Tier 2s.
And so continues my unending decline into pessimism. These HSC used to be fun, right? Right…?

Hello! I have a question. Is the Final Form Sora [M] medal good when not guilted? And how good/useful is it compared to a non guilted SP Roxas [M]?
Well, two things to start with:
Since FFS is Upright and SPR is Reversed, they aren’t really comparable. They will fit different places in your keyblade.
At this point in the game, the only not-guilted medals that will be good are buff medals. Neither of these are buffs so they won’t really help you on difficult missions.
That being said, SPR is better than FFS. SPR is a Tier 4 guilt, where FFS is a Tier 3. SPR has a higher multiplier and doesn’t take away your health. SPR is single target though, while FFS is multi target. Also, because FFS is a Tier 3, he will be easier to guilt: you’re more likely to pull him from medal draws.
Both when guilted are pretty good medals. High strength, high multipliers. But unfortunately, without guilt, just about any other medal that has guilt will be better.
EDIT 10/30/18: For PVP, EA is everything. STR +1000 after that, then Ground.
EDIT 5/14/18: ~Ground and Air are necessary and are the best traits in the game. ~EA for all buff medals. ~STR to fill in the blanks. ~Gauges on Reverse medals. ~HP > DEF
The Union x update to KHUX brought with it a new system called Traits. Basically this is another level of randomness, because guilt rolls and 3000 jewel pulls wasn’t enough. >_< Any time you add a medal to another medal with the same ID, it will roll a trait (as well as put a guilt dot into it, as described here).
A down arrow (the up arrow in the picture above) has been added to the bottom of the medal screen. This shows the medal’s traits. Guilt Tier 1, 2, and 3 get one trait, while Guilt Tier 4 and 5 get two traits. If you roll another trait and you don’t have room for it on the medal, you can replace one of the current traits with the new one or choose to keep the ones currently on the medal.
So how many traits are there and which ones do you want?
Five traits affect the keyblade as a whole:
Max Gauges +2: Increases maximum gauges by two
HP +800: Increases maximum HP by 800
Poison Resist 20%: 20% less likely to be poisoned by an enemy
Sleep Resist 20%: 20% less likely to be put to sleep by an enemy
Paralysis Resist 20%: 20% less likely to be paralyzed by an enemy
Six traits affect only the medal in question:
Strength +1000: Increases Strength by 1000
Defense +2000: Increases Defense by 2000
Ground Enemy DEF -60%: Decreases defense of ground enemies by 60%
Aerial Enemy DEF -60%: Decreases defense of flying enemies by 60%
Damage in Raids +40%: Deals 40% more damage against raid bosses
Extra Attack: 40% Power: Allows the medal to be used twice, though the second one is at only 40% power
The absolute best ones you can get are Extra Attack and Str+1000. (Edit: Enemy DEF traits too!)
For buff medals (let’s say Illustrated Kairi), having Extra Attack means doubling the effectiveness: +3 Str turns into +6 Str. The downside is that it doubles the Special cost as well: 3 gauges turns into 6 gauges. But with gauge restore medals and Cost skills, gauges are a lot easier to manage.
With damage medals, Extra Attack is a little less useful. Damage is depreciated to 40% of its original damage, where buffs are not. Here’s some math. Eraqus at lv. 100 is 7245 Str x 4.58 multiplier x 2 (100% guilt) = 66,364. x1.4 for Extra Attack is 92,910. Str+1000 is 8245 x 4.58 x 2 = 75,524. So your choice here would be 100% damage for 10 gauges, or 81.3% damage for 5 gauges. Either 10% damage per gauge or 16.3% damage per gauge effectiveness. Also the higher Strength does more damage against high level defense enemies.
But what about SP1? Now you’re doing 92,910 for 2 Special! Or you could use AB4 and Str+1000 and get 135,942 for 5. Then there’s AB+SP0 and stuff…
The point here is that the more SP a medal cost, the less efficient Extra Attack is. Of course, if you’re not doing any damage (Illustrated Belle & Beast is 5 cost, but its a buff medal), then SP1 and Extra Attack is the way to go!
Now that enemy levels are through the roof, sometimes the only way you can do really good damage is with the Enemy DEF traits. That’s because Defense Down is capped, so the only way to exceed that cap is with those traits. Honestly, they are probably the best traits in the game right now.
I wish I could calculate the +800 Health vs. the +2000 Def, but I honestly think it’s too situational. Defense is great up until a point, but it’s also worthless beyond that point. Health is just a flat increase, which sounds better, unless you happen to be fighting one of those enemies with an attack that falls in the range of where +2000 Def would help you… if you had to choose between them, I’d probably take the +800 Health.
So some general rules on Traits:
For Buff medals, always Extra Attack. Def+2000, HP+800, and +2 Gauges are good secondaries.
For damage medals that cost 3 or less gauges, always Extra Attack
For damage medals that cost 4 or more gauges, Str+1000 is probably more realistic.
For damage medals, -60% Def (Ground or Aerial) are great and are probably going to be necessary for high ranking Coliseum.
For medals you never use, +2 Max Gauges can be helpful for Proud quest rules.
For medals you never use, the Resists are worth having one of each.
For your raiding medals, +40% raid damage is amazing AND it stacks so get two or three!!
On a final and very important note: Fantasia Mickey B (Mickey & Brooms) DOES NOT give you a trait!
this is weird, I've just seen a guy with two WoFF medals WITH TRAITS¡! do you think those medals are available from the old high scores banner, or he just had two spares of those medals¿? q
They aren’t in the current banners. They are probably held onto from the previous event. Honestly, because they are PSM Str +1 or Def -1, a lot of people held onto extras for that buff. One of my party members did that. Unfortunately, I didn’t. ;_;
Hi i have facebook login this game and i try it on other phone but i dont have enought memory so i went back to first phone. And then it was asking me to login or new game i went login but it said that i already been login and do i want to continue? And there is no to go yes or no... what should i do,
This is weird. o_o
Usually if it says you’re already logged in then it’ll grab your backup data and update your game. My roommate actually switches between her iPad and her iPhone by doing this very often.
But if there isn’t any button, I’m not sure what you can do? It sounds like a bug. The only advice I have is uninstalling and re-installing. You’ll have to log back into your Facebook account, but it should work after that. If not, message Square Enix North America.
