The squadron stuff is really annoying.

I'm on the level 40 mission and I can't start it cause one troop is off 2 stat points. I mean... seriously? I should have been promoted ages ago but I have this roadblock in my way. How can I solve this? Everytime I train my recruits, 2 stats are over leveled and one stat is below. This is honestly really frustrating. I don't know what I am doing wrong.....

I had the same issue..I just leveled mine up and eventually the stats went up that way. I also got lucky with the chemistry..it compensated for the points I was missing.

Yeah my guys are around 43. It is a tad bit ridiculous that everything has to be past the cap for a chance at the mission. Thanks though... I'll just wait it out and level.

That you can change your stats 3 times a day right? I haven't had any issues and have gotten promotion right away. It just takes time to find the right combination.

I have all my members to 50 already for a while now so forgive me if my memories is a bit vague but I could of sworn you only need to have two stats and not all three for a chance to beat the mission. All three stats is a quarantee success two stats is a high probability of success.

I don't think so. All I get is "I'll be blunt but this squad isn't ready for this mission"

It's not 100% guaranteed but yes it can happen depending on offset.

What you might try is just load up on two stats and ignore the third either completely.

for the rank up level 20/40 missions you MUST have all 3 stats equal or more than what is required otherwise you will fail it. if you are close try shuffling a few members around and do the training to move your stats around to see if that works or just keep sending them out and training everyday to level them up so that they do meet the reqs. all the other missions if you have 2/3 reqs met you can just yolo it and you'll prob succeed at it.

Same here. Started out liking it now I lost interest...annoying.

It is... why do they made this more complicated than it needs to be?

Sure I'm not on a lot, but I have over level 24 Squad members but there's ALWAYS two points off on one of the stats I need and when I do send them out I always come back with a mission failure even though I have MORE than enough stats on the other stats.

Gives us a bloody percent or something better to work with the stats! I can't rank up for my GC because of this.

This is not true. I've always had 2/3s be above the required amount so far and have passed all but one.

Super frustrating...... and I agree with you wholeheartedly.

It is true. You must have all 3 stats for those 2 missions (20 and 40). For the rest it is enough to have 2/3, but those two "quest" missions must have all 3 stats over.

I still can't finish it. Ugh, hopefully tonight.

My group is also above 40 and still get the message i will be blunt......
Heck they fail level 35 missions as well, rather silly for a retainer like system

It's a time killer and they did give out some nice concepts for the future in Fan Fest, so worth it just do daily and let it ride. Just takes patience. Don't give up guys... Proof you are squad leaders :P

Yeah I had to use the comprehensive to up levels for a few days and finally when my people are 45 was I able to adjust the stats enough for the mission to succeed.

Okay, finally got the mission to succeed at level 44 MRD, ACN, ARC, CNJ. I don't think I will be doing this ever again due to it being super frustrating.

There is literally NOTHING I can do to get past the first Lv20 mission.

I got 7 recruits now, but no combos seem to get it so all three stats are met. I'm always 1 or 2 and then like 11 points off and if I do any training with them I go over on one point and I screw up the other two!

Why the HELL do we not have more control over this? Let me at LEAST pick one or just a number of Squad members to train so I get a better standing on the stats, but nope. I'm getting REALLY angry with this now. How many people have gotten to First Lieutenant so far? Sure I haven't played around with this a lot, but come on!

I can't seem to get a break here. How many levels do they need to go up to automatically increase their own stats without training to mess with it?

Each level increases their stat totals by 2 points. The training changes baseline stats independent of the stats of your recruits. if you can find a combination that puts you 40 points below in one stat, while keeping you at least 20 points above in the others, that can be resolved with a single training session. Just try to put some effort into understanding the system, and it isn't that hard.

Maybe you have the wrong combinations of Squadron members. Yes, the levelling missions at 20 & 40 ALWAYS require all three stats to be at, or above, those listed. The other missions are more variable although I have had a few fail even when it said "bound to succeed".

You just need to keep adjusting your squad & the three stats until you get it right, this is NOT like the PvE open world where a lvl12 character will beat a lvl20 one, this is far more complex & a lvl30 may not be able to beat a lvl20!

I've enjoyed it immensely & it's definitely set the way it is to prepare for future expansion where you have to be more cunning to succeed. It's a cerebral, not physical challenge.

I have found that sometimes using the intense workout (or whatever it is called) helps as well.
I was finally able to send out my squad for the level 40 mission last night, i really hope it does not come back as a fail... I will be so mad, lol

In order to pass the 40 lvl mission you need to go above the cap in stats. I used marauder,conjurer,rogue and mby archer and i used the ~90 higher tactic in physical and mental training which took me to meet the requirements. Just get a calculator and you'll figure it easily.

I had to be about 6 lvls past the mission to guarantee. Give it time, it's worth it. With the right chemistry and mission affinity i git 1500 blue gatherer scrips from one 18 hr mission.

It's all about the chemistries.

I have around 3 members (CNJ, MRD, ARCH) which trigger their chemistries by themselves and have +10%/+20% on their "mainstat" (e.g. MRD + 20% physical attribute).

This group (+ one other fitting member + training) beats a lvl. 40 mission once a week. With that group I'm 10-30 points above each stat cap usually.
The other 5 (with chemistries to give DoH materia, Scripts, other stuff) do the other missions troughout the week.

I don't have any Chemistries sadly with my current Recruits, but I got my 8th recruit which filled up my roster and was another MNK but the stats on them were amazing so I hired them!

After leveling them up a couple of times I finally got all 3 stats hit and sent them out! Hopefully today I'll see them complete it, but the stats on my initial first 4 have very... low stats in one or two areas and one really good one and seemed very unbalance.

I'll keep an eye on them, but I would've preferred training some of the recruits one-on-one instead of all of them at once but make it take longer. Well I'll get through this one way or another... I still dislike how this is setup. Too much RNG involved when getting new Recruits especially when you need to complete Challenge Logs and don't want to give you new Recruits to get.

The level 40 one can in some cases be done on level, but only if you have a good chemistry bonus or two helping you meet the stats. If not, then you have to over-level it.

I did it with a physical heavy team of GLD, MRD, LNC, and another DPS (I forget which, either ARC or ACN). And my LNC and GLD both had chemistry bonuses boosting their Physical stat. With all that Phys on the individual members, I was able to move all the squad-wide bonus points into the other two stats and meet all three stat requirements.

(That would actually have worked on-level and with only one of those two Phys chemistry bonuses, but only if I could have gotten my squad-wide bonus points shifted to 20/140/120 in time. As it happened, I got the second Phys +15% bonus on my GLD the next day, and was able to do it with 0/160/120, which didn't need as many training sessions to reach. By the time I'd done that other mission that earned the extra chem bonus and did a few training sessions to reach 0/160/120, my squad was level 41, so only very slightly over-leveled.)

There are only two rank up missions.
For the lvl 40, I was 1 point under the requirement in 1 stat, and still had the "no chance of success" message, and did indeed fail. I levelled that team until someone got an extra point in the requisite stat, then the message changed to "bound to succeed".

You should read what is being discussed, before commenting how what other people have said is untrue.

Only took me a few days although I was stuck in that lvl 40 quest also. I got a MNK to join my team and changed the stats and now everyone is level 50 and I completed all missions :) the MNK really did help that much ;_;

Never really had an issue the mechanics are pretty simple modify your squad by training them depending on mission and level up. Most of my squad I replaced with new if new were higher level. All 50 , max rank and most with script and material and it's all about numbers.

nvm misread post, LOL!

Its a lot like garrison stuff was in WoW. Seems neat at first, but becomes a huge pain in the butt after a while.
Atleast its optional.

I just find it lame how lower level missions you sometimes need higher stats then say level 40 missions. Makes no sense at all

Well I finally got the level 40 mission unlocked, but I cannot progress it as I'm 20 points off on the Mental stat and looking at the training there's no way of me getting all THREE stats meeting the condition due to the fact if I increase 20 on two stats I go down 40 points in one stat and I'm right back to where I started.

I'm going to level up the Squadron a bit more, but it sucks you don't have more "control" on distributing stats to your team.

My top four are over level 40, but the other four are barely over 30 so it will take so time to get there. Eventually I'll clear this.

After Level 40 Mission you get promoted to First Lieutenant for your GC, right?

Yes, beating the level 40 mission promotes you.

I beat it on 40 or 41, basically sum up all the points you have, no matter if in the right stat or not, and see if it adds up to enough to beat the mission yet. If it is, it's nothing but some simple math to figure out the base stat changes you need to make.

In my case, I just went full dps on it so I could drop that stat to zero and focus all points into mental (with a side of the tank stat) and didn't need to send any of my lower level healers with them.

I see... I might try that after they return from their mission tomorrow. I'll keep at it until I get them where I want to clear the level 40 mission.

By the way is the capped level for Squadrons also 60 like your character or 50?

they cap at lvl50

mine beat the Lvl40 promotion quest around Lvl43-45 iirc, just keep spamming the comprehensive training things to level them up

That's what I've been doing. Trying to level them up as much as possible.

I guess I'll try the all DPS team and train their Mental stat to see if it will be enough


EDIT: Well... goddamn. I can't increase their stats further using the Training method. Best I can do is level them up and I've used up all of my chances to do so, so I'll have to wait tomorrow. So close, yet so far... this is kinda irritating.
