    Verminion Challenge Log Tip

    Because of the event, I decided to start working more on the challenge log entries for Gold Saucer, and this is something I learned that's pretty fast and simply to get 3 Verminion matches in each week. I'm not sure if there is an easier way to do it, but what I figured out is that if you do Verminion Challenge 4, you are fighting a single giant goobbue minion, which is a beast type, so just start spamming a bunch of poppet type minions and he dies pretty fast.

    Or LoV is just really bad in general. I made it through the first few tutorials and was so turned off, I never went back. x.x

    They can keep their MGP and minions. It just wasn't fun for me.

    Vermillion is fun, just there is a fairly major downfall in that it's difficult to find a human to play with often.

    Regarding using particular minion types versus another, if you bring up the hotbar window, you can see all the vulnerabilities. It's kind of like pokemon.

    I just recently finished the vermillion log to get the twintania pet. It's not super difficult. Mostly I'd say it's just those before mentioned vulnerabilities and having a idea of what the minion's traits and special moves are. Even if you have no interest in the game whatsoever, looking at their special moves gave me some chuckles. One of the funnier ones was like Minfillia's "Hello Hello" special move were she murders people by calling them on her linkshell (it's super effective!!!). Some of the traits you wouldn't expect to be worthwhile (but are!) are speed and defense. Getting a few minions over to a enemy will often keep them occupied long enough for some of the "old razzle dazzle" to make them stop something you don't like them doing. Another thing that helps that I can't stress enough is, learn how many points minions cost if you want to use them often. My favorite cheap move is send a army of disposable and fast soldiers that didn't cost much point wise out to die for the good of their master... :x If you are feeling like a merciful master you'd send a minion with a hallowed ground like special move though (like onion knight but there are several).

    Well on the plus side, now you can just play LoV as a minion in the new Shatter Frontlines mode.
