[KHUX NA: 10-25-2019 & 10-28-2019] This week's WJE, subslot medals in Union Cross, SN+ Second Form Sora, Hector avatar board, and HSC returns

Well, happy November to everyone! Except that I've been meaning to reply to this since October...

Once again, Reverse STR boosting medals are locked behind VIP. While the Trick Ghost is a good medal, I don't know that he's worth it if he's the only reason that you're buying VIP.

Second Form Sora is an excellent medal to have. For those who were playing just before the anniversary, you may remember us getting a similar deal with Ultimate Form Sora, who continues to be a great medal even 2 months after his debut. 2 things to keep in mind when using this medal are 1) he does affect counters and 2) he does not do super effective damage regardless of attribute. However, he does give quite a respectable STR boost to Upright medals, a feature that makes him very appealing. In addition to his stats and abilities, there's currently a Moogle Shop deal that allows you to buy 30 Second Form Sora trait medals for just 300 jewels. This mirrors the 30 trait medals we received for Ultimate Form Sora, though not for free this time. For 15,000 jewels and a guaranteed 5-pull mercy, this is one banner that you won't want to pass on.
This is a bit late, but this banner began in October, which meant that any VIP coins you got while pulling for this medal would expire at the end of the month. Had this message been posted earlier, I would've recommended waiting until Friday (November 1) to pull so that your VIP coins could be applied to the month of November instead.

The new Hector board continues the trend of new avatar boards being pretty worthwhile investments. 2 Atk Boost 10 Max skills will be helpful for your newer medals, and Def Boost 6 Max is finally available to non-VIP players. While the Def Boost skill is appealing, some have said that the difference in defense between it and Def Boost 5 Max is not noticeable enough to warrant rushing to grab the skill. Which is not to say you shouldn't use it, but don't expect it to dramatically change your game (according to some).

The Kyroo medals are back as Union Cross rewards this time, and they're stackable as of Thursday (10/31). While it will take a fair amount of coins to get them all (750,000), this still isn't nearly as bad as the grind required a couple of weeks back when gems were the prize. As long as you hit the bonus hours and supplement that with non-bonus hour grinding, you should be able to collect everything.

Finally, the High Score Challenge is back, and the prize is... gems. And useless skills. ...Again. Shocking.
