You don't need an FC or static to run Levi Ex. Maybe 2nd Coil, but not Levi.

Have you made any friends that are good players? Perhaps joined a LS with some decent folks that know how to play the game?

Personally I have a few LS that have people that run Levi and I know a fair amount of them just from playing with them in the game. That's how I get things done, and I'm in a small FC and have not even been in a static even for 1st Coil.
