Arc and Lenna can also use Bows and high-level white magic. Alxprit posted:Regarding Exdeath banners, I didn't know they were so sought-after. I already have great physical synergy with the Air Knife and Flametongue, but a focus on magic on one could tempt me to at least 3-pull on it. I don't know if they're widely sought-after, but they've got stuff I need. But there's the ever-looming SSSB fest and FFT banners...

Well ++ Kefka was rude. It's becoming pretty apparent that I'm lacking in the damage department trying to do the higher bonus battles. I finally cleared it though with a bit of luck and a Runic Blade RW. Terra was doing good work with the 4* synergy rod I have, which is like the only good non-thrown mage weapon I have in my collection. (DeNa pls, just gimme some mage weapons soon)

Yeah there aren't a lot of great mage banners coming up. Your best bet is either Exdeath 2 (relic staff, relic rod and a generic rod) or Freya 2 (two SSB-rods and a hat). Otherwise it'd be Minwu 2, which is right after Freya's: SSB mage bow, and a generic rod and bangle.

Confirmation of Exdeath tomorrow. Also, Bonus Quest added for Krile. Last chance to do them quests before this Wednesday when the update supposedly hits.

Dammit why did I hone Power Breakdown when I had an R2 Steal Power. Or is that a good idea since Butz is a pretty good all-rounder with Lupine Barrage?

widespread posted:Dammit why did I hone Power Breakdown when I had an R2 Steal Power. Or is that a good idea since Butz is a pretty good all-rounder with Lupine Barrage? I think it's good to have both available just in case. But man, Lupine Barrage is the most awkward SB to use with Bartz. For those who don't know, it does 5 single-target hits, and then gives the user +35% ATK (unless I'm wrong about the timing, but I don't think I am). But one of the reason Bartz is great is because he can use Steal Power, which gives the user +50% ATK, and those two buffs overwrite each other. So you can either not bring Steal Power, at which point your Lupine Barrage will be weaker because you're not pre-buffed and you potentially have to put a power breakdown on someone else, OR you can bring Steal Power and then have it overwritten when your SB makes you weaker afterward, making the "buff" actually a debuff.

I tend to use Steal Power up first, then if the battle still goes on, I'l pop a Lupine Barrage. Especially on them one round dungeons.

Or maybe time Lupine Barrage to go off just as Steal Power is ending. That and/or save it for the end of the fight when you could have potentially multiple Lupine Barrages ready to go.

I'm actually most interested in ExDeath's shiny toy from this event. I got a tase of how useful Runic is with dealing with ++ Kefka and having that along with some solid magic damage would be cool. I'm not expecting a miracle though, since I'm not planning to actually spend any mythril for awhile but hey it's nice to dream.

Cult of 3-Pull on the First Terra/Kefka banner. Crystal Armor (FF5, 4*), Silver Bangle (FF13, 4*) and Black Cowl (FF4, 3*)...I have a 5* Crystal Armor and Silver Bangle now? Please RNGsus...please...let me pull Gilga's second Katana and Ramza's sword...PLEASE. ALL THE GOATS AND SOULS YOU CAN EAT...just give me what I want...

The bonus to Grand Cross is that it will also eat White Magic, like Holy and Slow. Unfortunately, Ultimate Necrophobe and his barriers pack spells that can't be absorbed (specifically, Flare and Holy).

ApplesandOranges posted:The bonus to Grand Cross is that it will also eat White Magic, like Holy and Slow. It's because they bounce off their own reflects, right? That's how it worked in the original and the Krile/Faris +++. Likewise, while I'm unsure if it absorbs it or not, Grand Cross won't actually taunt any spell that targets based on HP% - which is to say, Holy Dragon/Yunalesca's Holys. It's kind of the same reason Draw Fire didn't work on Vossler's multistrikes - Highest HP% targeting overrides taunting, I think.

No, they're just coded differently, as in they might be NAT instead of BLK/WHT. At least as far as I can tell. The even more fun part about Necrophobe is that he and his barriers will use Flash to Blind your guys (and he'll even start using it as a counter later on). On the other hand, the barriers also pack some nasty counters to magic.

What's better for a record materia for standard/elite dungeon clearing, auto-haste or one of those sword booster-type things? I'm thinking the auto haste is better. Cause soon I'm gonna get Luneth's MC from this dungeon and then I'll have two auto-hastes and I think I should use them.

I just like whatever makes my melee dudes able to oneshot trash with either autoattacks or some filler abilities. I rarely bring auto-haste outisde higher difficulty bosses, where I need to cast some ability ASAP or often.

Yeah I remember auto haste was real important for me being able to beat the IX +++ fight we had recently. So I'll just stick with what I'm doing then. My melee sucks in most realms so what I do is make a mage party give one of em like ruinga and quake with mana spring and wipe out the trash with those. Everyone else defends except for one round then I go into the boss and wipe his rear end out. I'll do that till it stops working. I also still have tons of easy dungeons left to do so really until they're all cleared I don't hvae to worry.

I now have every single thrown mage weapon, except Rinoa's Rising Sun. On the plus side I wreck FF8 and FF13 content by bringing both Rinoa and Hope. And I can't wait to get Edea in the future! But I'd like the occasional Mag-heavy rod or staff too.

Violet_Sky posted:Will Cid's quests replace the current quest system? Yes, that's the idea. So a lot of people were expecting to get the Hall of Rites (where you can trade in hero souls for characters, etc.), because Cid's missions had a bunch of Hero's Souls as rewards when released in Japan, but it doesn't sound like that's happening. Wonder if that means they'll remove those quests, or just change the rewards. Also, I thought everyone said all of Cid's Missions worked retroactively, and didn't make you re-do stuff you'd already done. But the announcement says that only applies to the Wayfarer missions, and that you'll have to redo things for all the other missions even if you've already done them. Well that sucks.

I can only speak for myself but I never said they'd be retroactive, I said you wouldn't have to accept the mission beforehand. It's not that big a deal, the missions which aren't retroactive are all things you'll do naturally anyway (upgrade items, combine items, level characters, do relic pulls).

I feel like I've pulled more off-banner items than anything else these days. Two X items from the Yuffie event, another X item from the Beatrix event, an Ochu Tentacle from the XII event... Technically speaking you could call it great luck since the odds of getting off-banner stuff is pretty low. Yay?
