Yeah I could see it being more useful to newer players but my warchest already covers everything it does on better characters. Oh well they'll just stay level 1 longer. E: Yeah it's stacking attack debuffs which are good for anything besides magicite, but for me I'm already well covered on debuffing so it's not a thing that will be very useful to me. I'll play with it a little some time when I get my egg supply back up. Randabis fucked around with this message at 10:29 on Dec 3, 2017 |

Yeah, I'm considering revamping the end of the OP into a newbie guide and adding in a section about RMs. As to Meliadoul's BSB, if you look at it from a Support perspective, it's actually really great, albeit specialized. Give Meliadoul Life Siphon, Armor Breakdown and have her perpetually destroying the enemy's ATK, MAG, and Armor. I'd say it's pretty drat decent, just not for Magicite.

Two pulls at the VI over at JP. B1, 2/11 Celes USB, Locke LMR B2, 2/11 Locke CSB, Leo LMR Never pull only applies to GL. Celes USB is pretty much what Steiner wanted to have instead of his.. thing. That banner 2 is pretty stacked with ye olde goodies including Terra USB and Relm USB. Relm's is in my opinion the strongest healer SB in game but I'm an instant cast noncharge spreader fanboy.

ceaselessfuture posted:Yeah, I'm considering revamping the end of the OP into a newbie guide and adding in a section about RMs. Pretty much this, and if you get it with her USB on the next Tactics banner that's another stacking debuff too. And while Magicite is the preeminent content right now it's worth noting Crystal Tower will continue to be a thing, not to mention a new difficulty level fight for events and whatever rolls out with the new Story mode, which will have parts where you can freely construct your parties. Mostly, if you think Meliadoul is neat then go ahead and pull, she's a neat lady with good things.

Mel also gains a ton of damage as one of the strongest "Heavy Combat" ability school users down the road, thanks to her BSB/USB having the same earth element as the majority of the initial Heavy abilities. (the Heavies are Garland, Wol, Guy, DK Cecil, Leo, Cloud, Angeal, Ward, Zeid, Gabranth, Gladiolus, Meliadoul, Cinque, Wrieg and Tyro) Heavy Charge, 4✭ Heavy Combat 1xST physical dmg, self Heavy Charge (up to 2) Grand Charge, 5✭ Heavy Combat 4xST Earth/Dark physical dmg, self Heavy Charge (up to 2) Gigant Swing, 5✭ Heavy Combat 3~8xST Earth physical dmg, no of hits scale with Heavy Charge count, removes Heavy Charge Blast Burn, 5✭ Heavy Combat 1~6xAoE Earth physical dmg, no of hits scale with Heavy Charge count, removes Heavy Charge Varance fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Dec 3, 2017 |

Snazzy Frocks posted:I feel like you get a lot more mileage out of en element than you do out of imperils. Unless that is whoever is bringing the imperil also has a lot of additional utility. Just bringing them for the imperil is not usually enough If a boss is neutral to the element you want to use, an imperil is huge: since it creates a weakness, you'll get 50% more SB bar from using that element. This is a bigger deal now with abilities charging your bar faster than they used to. If you imperil and see a blue face/skull on your first usage, then the boss is already as weak to that element as possible, and your imperil is useless.

Just soloed jecht 220 mp. Good God what a fight.  Basically just keeping water imperil on him the whole time, off healing as needed, and whittling him down with Rydia and gogo. Very tight the last half of the fight.

I unlocked magicites! The best way to enjoy magicites is to never play magicites. But yeah, you generally will need to start on whatever element you're strongest in and then go around Megaman style, if possible.

I had posted a list last thread.Last Thread posted:Earth: I've been trying a team of this for Hydra but I think I'm just short on raw levels since a bunch of dudes are still sitting at 80. Maria: Chain Stonega/Faith - BSB - Mako Might Bartz: Lifesiphon/Whatever - BSB3 - Sword Damage 30% Lenna: Shellga/Curaja - BSB - Battleforged Dorgann: Lifesiphon/Whatever - BSB - Ace Striker Minfilia: Gaia Cross/Curaja - USB - Dr. Mog's Basically Minfilia leads with her USB (ATK/MAG/RES) and sits in the backrow eating physicals with Gaia Cross and backup healing. Maria buffs herself and spams as much of her BSB as possible. Bartz does the same with his BSB3. Dorgann provides Imperil Earth alongwith an ATK/DEF buff. Lenna heals forever.

Get rid of Dorgann and replace him with whoever you think is your best entruster, that will free up Maria to use a +damage materia. If you dont have a good move for Bartz other than life siphon I recommend steal power. That should be enough to get your feet in the door.

 Clutch fight but I made it through the 300 CM! Dorgann BSB was a clear standout and was capping for 4x9999 on CMD1, after buffs and Imperil. Gladio Pep Talked and closed the show with his BSB AoE entry. Even Galuf's BSB AoE helped out. Lenna's BSB, however, was very very bad. I'll take a skin of my teeth victory regardless though!

Congratulations! The latest JP Report's out! December 5~  First up, a damage contest against Humbaba; you just try to post your best damage in a certain amount of time and get rewards depending on how well you did. Three difficulties to try. December 8-18  It's Ignis's debut in a XV COLLECTION event - enemies will drop "ingredients" to be used in the event shop. December 13~ Boundless Ruins- a chance to rechallenge Boundless Nemesis and Boundless Ozma! December 15~  It's a I event for the 30th anniversary that debuts a "Classical Red" wardrobe record for Warrior of Light! There'll be numerous Revenge Dungeon fights and a whole Chaos Temple. December 20~ This month's Crystal Tower features Tiamat Eliminator (XIII), Guardian (III), Dáinsleif (Type-0) & Bahamut (X) - with Bahamut as the "main event". December 22~   A Christmas Collection event with two log-in accessories; on December 8, there will be a Twitter poll for players to choose what the accessories actually DO. There will also be a special Multiplayer fight against [Holy Night] Dullahan and Glutturn. It's a gimmick fight that needs a range of elemental abilities to follow Glutturn's requests. December 31~  The year ends with a IV event debuting Barbariccia, plus TAY wardrobe records for Palom and Porom. It also looks like Fusoya's poised to finally get some new relics; the legend spheres coming with the event are for Barbariccia, Palom, Porom, and Fusoya! The event itself is themed around Cecil, both Dark Knight and Paladin, so expect some new toys for both of him as well. There's also a Series Happy Relic Draw happening (13th December ~ 10th January)  - From 13th to 27th December, there will be a new relic draw each day - Each draw costs 5 Mythrils for a triple-pull with guaranteed 5*+ - First day is Type-0/FFT/FFXV, 2nd day is XIV, 3rd is XIII and so on And a total of 6 bonus mythril this month for anniversary of game releases.

I am so hyped for that series of 3-pull banners, you have no idea. That breaks down to 75 mythril for a guaranteed 15 unique relics, that's unheard of. I had a real hard time with this week's JS battle due to some bad slows and interrupts, but now that it's done, I finally was able to complete Squall's LD. And with the next DU activating tomorrow, the half-price realm dungeons should give me the boost I need to finally get completely caught up with all of them, just in time for the Dailies revamp. ... I spend more time scheduling my plans for this game than I do for my projects at work.

I hope we get the 3 pull banners this December in global. Seems like a reasonable chance, though a guaranteed 6* lucky would also be welcome. This month's CT looks pretty drat tough.

So, I've been getting the itch to play this game again after a long time. I quit just as OSBs were introduced, so I have no idea what any of this new fangled stuff is. I somehow have over 800 mythril still, so I could at least probably get up to speed with the current gear. Whats the current meta? Any new must have abilities that I need to whale for? Is there a good catch up guide anywhere?

That's the best banner in a long time.

We're probably like 3 weeks from a fest, so do as Elephant says and then probably save some pulls for that. With any amount of luck you'll have most of what you'd need to do decently well in the current game meta. Anyway, aside from giving you blind advice, I think you should just try to play through the current events and see how far you can get before it gets too hard. From there, you can ask for more specific suggestions on what you may need to do to advance.

If I had Meliadoul BSB, Marche USB and Agrias USB but no source of Imperil Holy, would it be worth doing 1 more roll on the FFTA banner for Agrias's BSB? Still could use her LMR as well

Stop now. It's not worth it. Imperil's not bad or anything, but considered far from essential for the difficult content going forward.
