[KHUX NA: 5-03-2019] Monthly Updates, Boards, Event Quests, KH3 Falling Price Deals

Good to know Key Art #20 is back. I have way too many trait medals for him.

Oof, lots of stuff and it's so late as I write this. Well, whatever.

Since PVE has been revamped this month and the prize is a non-max skill, I'd recommend taking it easy on PVE and learning the ins and outs of the new setup instead of grinding and stressing yourself out. Plus, AB10 skills will start showing up in avatar boards soon, so no worries there.

The 5 billion lux requirement might seems big at first, but it's completely manageable within the week, especially if your whole party is contributing.

I recommend holding off on the gem boards. They're good, but they cost a fair amount. These ones are temporary while there are similar boards that will always be around to buy, so no need to rush into things. In terms of Keyblades to upgrade, everything should be at least lv. 25. Focus on getting Starlight, Stroke of Midnight, and Fairy Stars to lv. 35. Ignore the first 3 Keyblades (Treasure Trove, Lady Luck, Three Wishes) after lv. 25. The rest are up to you, though there's nothing wrong with just saving your jewels. You never know when we'll get a new Keyblade and how many jewels you'll need to upgrade it. ?

Similarly, wait on the skill boards. As with last month, these skills are better than when the Enhancement boards started, but you'll probably get more value out of an actual avatar board. AB6 and AB7 are ok, but they're starting to get edged out in terms of overall power. Sleep+ 2 Max is a weird addition and really only matters in PVP.
Also, don't get the returning avatar boards. Not worthwhile at all.

The Iron Giant and Time Trial events should be easy enough. The Keyblade challenge, though: that's a tough one. Don't worry too much if you can't beat these ones, and don't waste jewels on continues (or on pulls to possibly get better medals).

Speaking of pulls, the new banner has another "mercy" but this time with 1 of 4 medals instead of 1 of 3. The two new medals are interesting and will need a bit of time before their true value is apparent. So far, Youth in Black looks like a pretty standard damage-dealing medal, similar in buffs/debuffs to Master Xehanort (coincidence??). Youth in White, meanwhile, has a very unique ability to lower PSM Str without being an overwrite medal. This means you could hypothetically debuff an enemy to -15 PSM Str, something that hasn't been doable prior to now.
The banner itself is a falling price deal, which is good. However, as mentioned before, it is still a 1 in 4 chance. KH3 Kairi and Key Art 20 are not bad medals, but they're not necessarily what you want after you just spent 30,000 jewels (15,000 for VIP). I'd recommend waiting to see what is announced for after this banner ends before pulling on it. Also, if you're thinking about pulling in order to get VIP coins for Kairi/KA20 traits, I recommend not doing that. The boards will be there all month, and you should really pull from a banner because of all that the banner has to offer, not just one part of it.

They really need to stop with this 1-in-3/4 "mercy" thing, though...

With all this gem boards i'm starting to asking myself if the gems in a near future will be useless, am I the only one?

Nah, that's not what's happening. They keep offering the gems because people keep wanting to upgrade their Keyblades for things like PVE and PVP.

I really don't like the new Coliseum update! I'm usually able to get to Tier 15, no problem, but now I can hardly get past Tier 3!
