65 on everyone but Cloud who was 80. If you only have 50's, you'll likely need to compensate with more stop hones. If your characters aren't 50 though I wouldn't even bother with Omega.

Omega down, though I didn't master it. Not really caring about perfection at this point. Took 14 stops (with 9 actually connecting) to do it. Three flash spams at the end, guess he wanted to blind me with science.

I will burn my dread.

I beat the Sand Worm, although I was really dumb and died when he had a sliver of life left. He was poisoned and the next tick would have done him in, Cloud was eaten and Y'shtola was about to die. I had her auto-target Curaga which targeted Cloud instead of her (even though he was untargetable since he was eaten) and then she ate an Earthquake the next round. Out of frustration I misread the Mythril/Gem revival text and decided to do it for the first time ever. I thought it would revive me at the top of the turn instead of the top of the round, but oh well. The 10% Damage boost made the battle a breeze and now I'm done and only need to do the FF8 final boss. :woop:

What's your equipment/ability outlook? If you have strong equipment (or good equipment with synergy) and a good set of 4* skills (with hones), you should be able to handle it.

Thanks kindly.

So far, the FFIV dungeon has been the easiest of the lot; DKCecil doesn't hit much and seems to only attack down to a certain % of HP where he then switches to Darkness; if you've got mitigation up, it only hits the party for ~400ish.

Carry Armor looks like it's going to be a bitch though.

I was easily able to beat carry armor (thanks to a nice ssb RW) and the Sand Worm, but DK Cecil is kicking my rear end. He just spams Darkness and I can't keep up with healing. Not getting a regen/heal RW in the last six or so attempts hasn't exactly helped either. Any suggestions?

Bring Tyro solo with retaliate+haste and a slowing RW. Retaliate, summon RW, retaliate, haste cecil and then keep up retaliate for 20 turns. You'll lose the 3 Cecil medals but have enough to master it anyway.

Well, I don't know how much this'll help (or is wanted), but here's a summary of each of the realm 110s:

FFIV: Everything is physical damage, including an AoE that hurts himself too. Bring all your physical mitigation and a source of Slow (either Slowga or Tempo Flurry) and just hit him. Pretty simple, but he can hit hard if you let him.

FFVII: Starts with two arms and the body. The Arms can 'grab' a character and stop them from doing anything until the arm has taken enough damage. They also have a physical attack that isn't very threatening. The arms have low HP though, so bring AoEs (whether as abilities or through a Roaming Warrior), and once the arms are down, the body gains a lightning weakness. The body only uses magic damage, so bring your lightning damge and magic mitigation.

FFVIII: He does lots and lots of magic damage, so bring your magic mitigation again. He does have a physical attack, but if you want to master you'll need to blind it, which will cripple damage on that end. He can also be Slowed. He can use Mighty Guard which gives him both Shell and Protect, so you might want to bring Dispel too.

FFX: The most annoying of the 110s, he can swallow one of your characters, which is like what the arms do, but worse because your character will lose all their buffs (i.e. those precious defensive boosts you'll need) and when you free your character, you'll be Slowed. Additionally, the Worm has a ton of HP even for a 110, but also a Water and Ice weakness you can abuse. If you can't do enough damage, the Worm can also be Poisoned. You'll need physical and magical mitigation.

I solo'd the fight with Cloud doing Retaliate + Tempo Flurry, with an Advance RW summon, following guidelines suggested by someone here. It worked pretty well, so thanks to whichever goon recommended that earlier.

Also it makes you feel pretty awesome killing this dude solo :frogc00l:

So I tried playing this game a long time ago, gave up because it was so laggy on Android release. I had heard it had gotten better, so I tried to reinstall.. and the game is completely unplayable. Everything loads fast and fine the first couple of screens, and then either the game stops loading entirely, or just crashes. I have no idea what's wrong, and neither google or reddit really turn anything up for this particular problem :smith:

I'm on a stock Nexus 7 (2013) running Android 6.0.1.

e: it seems to reliably hang or crash every time I access a lobby for the second time - either going back to the "stating" lobby or trying to access any of the dungeons. This doesn't make any sense to anyone i've asked.

Decided to do one last 3-relic pull before the phase ends, saw 1 rainbow orb...... and it was Shear Trigger, which is effectively useless to me since I have Cutting Trigger already. :suicide:

I guess I got another good mage weapon out of the deal so it wasn't a total waste, but the RNG gods were not on my side for these pulls.

Aerith Lv63, Cloud Lv66, Vivi Lv65, Sazh Lv65, Selphie Lv58. Sazh was there entirely to pop off Boon at the start and to carry Boost and Reflect (later Esuna) so that the two high-MND characters could spam more Stops. Advance RW, Cloud tossing out Thundara Blades and Vivi tossing out Thundaja and then dropping to Thundaga when he ran out. Even then, I almost ran out of Stop uses.

Tidus's RM3 is fantastic for physical-teams and is a core part of SB-spam strategies, Tyro's RM3 is basically the same as Cloud's (aka "start with a full SB gauge"). Past that, whichever you plan on using most, I suppose.

I would say skip Squall, he doesn't stand out as a particularly great character. Tidus gets a pretty useful RM from his MC2 though he is otherwise lackluster.

Tidus and Tyro for sure - their RMs are great.

Lionheart is hot loving garbage, Cecil's RM seems very situational, and Rinoa's seems ok. I'd go Pecil or Rinoa depending on who you use more as the third.

Okay, I'll definitely grab Tidus and Tyro's then, but I'm still torn on the last one. Lionheart does look pretty garbage, but on the other hand, Squall's already my second highest level character, and he's got Blasting Zone mastered, so it feels like it would be a bit of a waste to just let him stay capped at 65 when he gets there.

Are any of these going to be showing up again soon in an upcoming event?

So now that I have Full Break at rank 2, is it even worth saving up for rank 3 or should I just pursue other skills that use those orbs now? I barely had enough for it now, and it took this long, since when the ability came out, to hone it once.

Squall is one of the farthest off, I don't think he comes back for 6+ months according to that information I saw on reddit.

I should really just

Couldn't make a second 10 draw in time for the thysus banner. Instead I did two 3 pulls and a single. I only got one 5*, which was a character relic! Aside from that I got 3 4*'s. One of them was a bow for ffv, so it's already useless due to the bow the dungeons give you. The other two were ffiv robes, giving me a 6*++ black robe and a 5*+ white robe. More resistance for the moon dragon so that's cool.

Oh, the 5*? I got rinoa's ssb weapon. So now I have two 5* mage weapons, as I got hope's relic from my first 10 pull on the banner. Both are thrown weapons of the same power. I mean, rinoa and hope are really good characters, but man this really limits my mage selection. I guess I'll be grabbing the christmas rod over the attack boost ssb one.

Someone earlier was saying that rinoa's ssb kinda sucked, is that true?

Rinoa's SSB's only downside is being random target. It hits super hard, 1800% over 5 attacks. It's one of the highest damage SBs period and Rinoa has great stats to back it up.

Oh hell yeah! Honestly I was hoping for some good mage relics as I knew thyrus wasn't happening. I got that, and a pair of nice ssb helmets for my warriors to do some damage with. I remember dark helmet's dark shot not being rear end, but that was early on in the game. Hopefully I'm not remembering wrong.

You're basically never going to get the dungeon bow ever again, while I have gotten 4 of the same 4* FF5 bow now.

Needless to say, the 6*++ bow is far more useful than a 4* one in the FF5 dungeons.

Wyrmfang and Diamond Armor, which is normally pretty cool, but a bit of a letdown considering what else was on the banner.

Have 115 mythril left, not sure if I try again, pull for Tyro's SG, or just let the Wall SB go and get some synergy gear for realms like V, VIII, and X over time. Have wayyyyy too much VI and VII though, really don't want to pull on anything heavy in those.

Remember that you do technically have two free turns before Omega actually starts dealing damage, so as long as you could possibly handle Flash and Reflect you should be fine even if he sneaks in a turn between Stop if you have enough damage output.

Banner 2 has Sentinel's Grimoire. If you're asking about Thyrus specifically, I think it might show up again way down the line at the Anniversary Celebration banner? Not 100% sure on that.

I have plenty of SS2s and SGs on my friends list so I'm not too bothered about it, but it would be nice to not have to rely on RWs for a wall. But I've already spent 80 mythril chasing it and I don't really want to use any more.
