Grozz Nuy posted:White Magic lucky draw should be in about a month. Crushdown Nightmare should be opening any day now, and Reraise will be the month after that and was the first one to have an associated lucky draw banner in Japan. Nightmare lucky draws work a little bit differently than the ones we've gotten in the past, any 5* drawn from that banner will not only be a relic with a unique SB, but a relic for a character with 5* proficiency in that specific skill category. So this one will be good for people who still need medicas, or just good Mind-boosting relics in general. You're a little off. Nightmares come at the end of the month. I wouldn't expect Crush to be until at least the 23rd, so another 11 days. That's more like a month and a half until the White Mage Nightmare.

Opposing Farce posted:I've mostly got my bases covered Soul Break-wise now (though a more powerful Medica wouldn't hurt, since right now I'm just using Trabia's Light) but I don't have much VI synergy so I'm considering throwing some mithril at one of the Relm banners. I honestly don't have much particular affection for any of the VI characters even though I played most of that game, but I wouldn't mind slotting one of them in if I got a decent relic. I'm leaning towards pulling on banner 2, but is there anything particularly notable on banner 1 aside from the SSBs that might make it worth pulling on from a "I just need synergy" perspective? It's worth keeping in mind that FF6 has fantastic 4* armor in the Gacha. A 4++ Crystal Helm is ridiculous ([b]43![/] attack, 169 DEF, 147 RES), and both Royal Crown (34 MAG, 34 MND, 175 RES) and Red Jacket (169 DEF, 169 RES) are quite powerful as well. As a result, you'll eventually have amazing FF6 armor synergy, so it's a bit less valuable as a realm than some others.

Need opinions because I still can't figure out a great A-Team after pulling Divine Guardian and Wutai Headband for my 450+ Mythril between SSBFest and FFT. Garnet has always been my White Mage but seeing as how Divine Guardian doesn't require a MND loadout, thinking of moving her to a more traditional Summoner loadout. I have Valefor R3. Everyone here sounds like they switched to Maduin to get away from the Wind Orb bottleneck. Should I shatter Valefor and move this way too? If I did, what should I give Garnet for the second slot? Moving Garnet frees up a White Mage slot for Vanille with Oerba's Boon and I can give her Curaja/Diaga and be done. Squall is slotted in as the physical damage dealer with Blasting Zone. I have Terra's Enhancer so she's been a staple since the beginning but is there any character that pairs 4* Black Magic with 5* Support so I could work Full Break in somewhere since Yuffie can't carry it? Basically, my only absolutes right now are: Squall Yuffie Garnet How do I fill the other two slots best?

With Heavy Regen and Yuffie's Medica, you probably don't need a dedicated healer. Knowing what I do, I would probably do something like this: Squall - Lifesiphon / whatever Garnet - Curaja / Diaga Yuffie - Thieves' Revenge / choice Paladin - Saint's Cross / (Protectga or Shellga) Support - Breakdown / Full Break Questions: do you own any support SBs at all, or any 30% Boostgas? Both of those are good enough to seriously consider running in your team. Niton fucked around with this message at 16:44 on Apr 12, 2016 |

Well, the Relm banner looked pretty good to me and upon review I don't really need to be saving for any banners in the near future, so I decided to give it an 11 pull and got skunked again. So I thought "gently caress it!" and did a 3 pull on FFT again. Two 5*s! My second Spellbinder and my THIRD Kaiser Shield. ...I mean, thanks? It's certainly a good draw but I'm getting the feeling the game doesn't want me to have any of the other FFT equipment. I'm pretty sure I'm at 81 pulls on the banner and I've only gotten 2 of the character items. Also haven't picked up a single off-banner 5* on it, so that's something. Still on the upside I now have a 114 ATK weapon that anyone can equip, and I may at some point turn the shields into a 7* just to give Lightning a bit more durability as she tosses out overchared lightning SSBs. Woulda been nice to pick up something off of the FF6 banner but I'm in a really good place loadout-wise so I can't really complain.

Knowing what I do, I would probably do something like this: Yeah, I've tried going without a dedicated healer a few times now and it's worked out OK. It's more risky in high-difficulty dungeon elites, when you have about 12 waves of really hard-hitting trash to get through before the boss, though. IllegallySober posted:Need opinions because I still can't figure out a great A-Team after pulling Divine Guardian and Wutai Headband for my 450+ Mythril between SSBFest and FFT. I do think it's important to keep Protectga and/or Shellga around, though- Garnet's SB only gives 50% RES, which is not as good as Shellga and I'd say isn't enough as your sole source of magic mitigation. I believe Red XIII (and Tyro) are the only characters with Black 4* and 5* support. But it's hard to get much use out of his black skill without having one of his magic-oriented pins. Edit: forgot to address the summons thing. I've been stuck trying to decide what to do with my R4 Valefor. I want a good R5 summon, but taking Valefor to R5 takes SO many Wind orbs, but it also feels so wasteful to break it down and this point and make a R5 Maduin. I guess that would be a slightly better option when Valefor is still at R3. I'd say you want at least 8 casts, and hopefully both of 4* summons. Something like Maduin and Alexander.

For all my spotty luck, i'm really glad the one Medica i've ever been able to pull was Rosa's Elven Bow. Being able to suit Tyro up with Curaja and an offensive ability as my "WHM" has been a godsend.

With the gear and abilities I have now I can actually finish the level 30 daily dungeon, as long as I use a Mythril to heal up after the second battle and have some sort of support with Sentinel's Grimoire or Mighty Guard, can't master it yet though. Also I got 400 Gil for someone summoning my RW twice, I knew putting up Hail of Stones Ramza would pay off.  I made an ability called Draw Fire that I've seen people mention more than a couple of times in this thread and put it on Ramza so hopefully that will help my party even more in terms of survivability, but back to doing the Core dungeons for now, 52 Stamina gets eaten through pretty quickly.

My typical party is 3 damage dealers, support and healer. You have healing via two damage dealers, so you could probably get away with another black Mage (like terra) and a support (whomever you have relics for, ramza is probably the best otherwise)

Prooobably not worth spending mythril just to complete a daily dungeon. Granted, it will get you some rewards before all the dailies are reset on Wednesday night, but after the reset definitely do not spend mythril to complete dailies. They'll be there waiting for you when you get stronger.

Neat-o, we have a ton of mutual SSBs and SBs, good to know for discussing setups and mutually benefiting from trial and error! I have neither a Wall nor Shout so I'm always tinkering with my setups, with the current "default" one being (Squall or Lightning) / Ramza / Agrias / Aerith / Garnet / RW: Wall. My list of "A-Team" contenders includes: Physical Damage Squall - Blasting Zone Lightning - Crushing Blow / Blaze Rush Ramza - Hall of Stones Steiner - Sword Art Stock Break Magical Damage Rinoa - Wishing Star / Angel Wing Bolt Lulu - Firaga Fury DPS (plus other effects) Garnet - Divine Guardian Aerith - Planet Protector Galuf - Fist of the Dawn Sazh - Boon Kain - Gungnir Fran - Whip Kick Mitigation (plus other effects) Agrias - Cleansing Strike Garnet - Divine Guardian Ramza - Tailwind Aerith - Dragon Force Vanille - Oerba's Boon Sazh - Boon Healing (plus other effects) Garnet - Divine Guardian Ramza - Tailwind Yuffie - Clear Tranquil Vanille - Oerba's Boon Selphie - Trabia's Light

Got a couple SSBs from the fest (golbez, edgar) now I just need to wait for more hero souls to get shelled out. My Black Materia pull has carried me pretty far and now that it's my RW folks have been generating a lil bit of gil on the side for me. Should I stick with 3 dps a WM and BM? I'm just running realms and getting my stamina up, wondering if should I just keep running events for the amazing exp and level up my neglected characters instead. I'm running Seph/Cloud/Cyan/Vivi/Yuna right now and have mem crystals for everyone aside from vivi, and I'd eventually want to swap cyan for edgar and vivi for golbez because of their SSBs.

I've had better luck than most and also even if I didn't get the shield I was ok with getting basically any other 5* on the banner (even duplicates of ones I already had), so I chased it a bit. I can still do a pull on Relm 2 and should easily have enough to do an 11 (or maybe 2) on Bacsh 1.

Silly question time. Thief's Revenge is based on Speed for number of hits, but does anything affect Speed besides the character's level and realm synergy? There hasn't been some weapon or armor than affects the Speed stat right, and Hastega affects the ATB directly rather than manipulating the Speed value?

Woo cleaned out all the classic dungeons for the Relm event. The level 35 dungeon was actually pretty simple with all the VI members with the appropriate gear and Ramza for good measure, Holy Dragon didn't last long after a Hail of Stones and an Orthros. I dunno if I can handle the Elite Dungeons though.

I think the only times I really needed those RMs were for realms that I didn't have great physical synergy for, or the trash was harder to kill (read: FFIV). I guess currently they are useful for farming certain stages of daily dungeons for specific orbs repeatedly, but with Gyshal Greens that will become obsolete.
