RE: Freya@ashenwind
so your saying market place sells 2 JOB KEYS at same price at the gem shop which is 5 and the currency is gems not gold at bazaar?
how would i know if an item is heirloom?
@kyon
so which final class that can do overall for PVE and PVP with Freya?
personally for me its either dragoon or Gladiator, Berserker is really risky for her dat -30% def unlike Vincent which is doesn't do that.
yeah noticed the faith thingy supposed to be end game stuff along with items.
probably best course of action is get them 5✩ asap
how about Victoria? game gave me 4✩ Victoria crusader
also for gold event I actually want Rouge path Kai for turn refresh + 4 full AOE Mage
The -def issue with Berserker Freya is something I overlooked. However, there are lots of ways to mitigate that like HP shields and "OP" shield in case you get a Lucille.
But the real reason I overlooked it is because the devs of this game are reasonable and I believe they'll buff Freya Berserker in due time. But nothing's set in stone yet which is why my 4* Freya has been sitting at my inventory for months now. In short, currently the safer choice is to not go berserker but who knows if/when she'll be buffed which is why I told you to think ahead. Personally, I'd keep her at 4* for a while and just prepare the materials in case you really need to promote her to 5*.
RE: Rushing 5*s
No, it's not wise to rush any hero to 5*. It gets very expensive to train and upgrade 5* heroes so in most cases it's better to use 4* +2 upgrades than a 5* with no upgrades.
RE: Victoria
I wouldn't waste time and resources leveling a 2nd tank right now since you already have Faye. Victoria has become obselete in several tiers at PvP aside from Chaos Knight (swapper) due to Faye. Faye is currently and arguably the best tank in the game right now both in PvE and PvP.
RE: Mage Team
Sadly, Mages are not in a good state right now. They were damn powerful in CBT but got nerfed a lot. On the bright side, the devs are very reliable and listen to the community. Hopefully mages will be back in the meta sooner than later because my mages are itching to wreck stuff again

RE: Kai
IMO Shadow is one of the best classes right now. All promotions have good utility uses and are pretty easy to fit into a team. I hope you get Kai or Shizu, with Kai a lot easier to limit break.
Just keep playing and farming gems through the story and dailies, always do 400 gem pulls instead of solo pulls. I'd say VF is one of the most F2P and newbie friendly games out there. Most importantly, have fun.
