Samba De Amigo posted:Lucky Pull got my Kagenui, Kagenui, Flexible Arm, and Traitor's Bow. Pyroclasm is actually still very solid; I still use it time to time on MT fights despite having Ark Blast. It also means Vaan can give himself a 50% boost without resorting to Steal Power or Shout, too, so you can throw him into a Mage team if you really need to.

Yeah, I'm not gonna combine the hats. Serah would appreciate the extra +mag punch to go with her bow for sure when I'm running FFXIII dungeons and I can stick them on other mages for that quick +mag boost against tougher Ult missions. Gonna combine the pumpkin though!

Oh hell yes. Jecht can easily reach 5 hits with lifebane, and only at level 66. I'm using dark bargain, shout and dragoon's determintion. Hell, I won't have to bother with bringing dark bargain if I use bach's apocalypse shield. Or I could just use the new monk 5* with celes' bsb as my rw or something. Looks like operation every realm (except 13) gets one monk with lifebane is go. I still have enough motes, as all I'm skipping is zell and snow. And maybe like, yang? I only need a realm synergy weapon for all of them. Of which I might be serioulsy lacking in a handful of realms.

Nihilarian posted:What are the stats on the pumpkin? I started this a bit after Halloween last year It's pretty average in terms of attack power, but the real bonus is that DeNA accidentally gave the pumpkin an evasion stat (around 90 iirc), which is something only armor is supposed to have. So you can equip it and give a party member an evasion stat of over 200, which lets you dodge fairly often. It's pretty cool.

JP is getting the hat and pumpkin as well, though (rewards for utterly demolishing the goals in their Find The Kefkas minigame; original goal was 50k and we're at like 400k now with 4 days to go).

Oh also surprised I haven't seen this posted here yet: World of Final Fantasy event was datamined for GlobalBoth the new realm symbol and the internal tag for the WOFF login bonus were mined. The login bonus starts on October 30th, so that's probably when the event will drop.

I'm curious to see the banners for this event. It'd be weird to have a different set of relics for JP and Global, so we could be getting some pretty powerful stuff. Glad I'll have enough mythril for a pull by then.

Wish I'd managed to snag one of Mog's items on this debuff banner; does he get something else on a future VI banner? He's pretty much the only character I'd "chase" a relic for, gotta love dancing cats.

There was a Brass de Bravo Banner with GOLDFES that had an SSB for Mog, but if we don't get that we're waiting for the Celes OSB banner in about 6 months. 6 hits AoE Earth/Non-Elemental White Magic Damage with ATK/DEF down. Also an amazing animation. https://youtu.be/XqStd7_II6k

Finally beat the stupid CM. It's basically all luck if you don't have the real good soul breaks. You just gotta sleep the ogres and keep it on them, and hope Red Soul doesn't use a lot of AOE. I used Gordon as a second healer. I had no shared shellga, and needed a second healer so I used gordon for that with Curaga. Used no real support then. And I had no Flame Shield for Gordon either. The stuff I pulled was almost useless, though Leon's Defender gave me draw fire which helped just a little. Used Minus Strike and Magic Lure on him. With Firion just had sleep spells on him and kept spamming them. Came down to the last turn and I was worried since I hit sunfire instead of break or whatever I was gonna lose. But I won.

Since it seems we're getting a free 25 mythril with Halloween and the lucky banner doesn't end until after that, I'll be waiting for that to pull on it. I'm actually pretty solid on breakdown SBs so it's not a rush for me. There is that very tiny chance of a Zidane relic though. In the meanwhile I've been trying to mage meta the new Mote fight but it hasn't gone well. Having ExDeath's Grand Cross is a huge help though at least but it may take some effort to find a way to do this fight.

 Suck it Mote Ogres Don't regret my pull on banner 2, even if all it got me was two more Flame Shields and Leon's Defender, possibly the least useful items on the banner for this fight, it still made the difference. Battle basically went Gordon opens with Kashuan's resolve to get damage up, then throws breakdowns at Red Soul hoping to build as much SB as possible. Firion fished for luck on Sleep Buster, which he got, before lifesiphoning Red Soul, and Leon sucked up all the attacks and built gauge on the soul. Maria threw out meteors while her magic was still high enough. Once the ogres woke up it was go time: Gordon tossed out Goddes Bell and all the breakdowns he could manage, Leon, having dropped HotE before go time, just shat out AoE SSBs forever. Maria mostly just woke people from sleep once Kashuan's Resolve wore off. But the real star of the show was Will of the White Mage. Oh, Leon just took two blizzard's to the face and has an invisible life bar remaining? How about instead loving everybody is healed to full right loving now. Minwu is your new god. All hail.

 drat was that grueling. I'd tried various combinations of Mako Might + Dr. Mog's Teachings/RWs to work out, including several instances of Meteor XVI. Eventually I realized that with all the AoEs I was putting out from different characters, I might do well to just boost everyone's damage instead with a +ATK/+MAG buff that stacked with my own Song of Swiftness. That, plus the BSB bonus stats from Maria's Song, managed to push me just over the edge in terms of throughput from Ashe. Chucking out ~12-13K per enemy per 4-star summon is pretty nice, and depending on my current hones I may be viable to take on Mote Ifrit at this point with such a combo.

I did all the other mote dungeons yesterday (in preparation for shoving all the resulting motes into onion knight ) but I'm kind of afraid to go after mote Ifrit, with what I've heard of him. I have native hastega, faithga/boostga, and wall, but no hastega combined with faithga/boostga, so it's impossible to get all of them at the start of a fight with Dr. Mog's/Mako Might to then slam away with an ice element BSB. That and my Chain Blizzaga is still r1 because I decided to hone Chain Firaga instead, and...I'm not in a good situation for a comically overtuned boss.Nihilarian posted:Should I grab Vaan or Firon's mc3? I have both of their BSBs. If you aren't, Firion's RM is better, because it's +13% ATK which is efficient as gently caress. If you are, Vaan's RM is better, because the softcap doesn't apply to +30% damage when using a dagger.

Finally, finally, after trying all day, I beat the stupid cannon in the White Mage Nightmare. I did need to use a mythril to continue so I could get two extra ability uses, since R3 Diagas just weren't enough. I used a Selphie RW and Tyro/Arc were geared for magic so they could cast summons. I mostly ignored the hot potato game in favor of pure damage, because when I tried hot potato I'd always screw up somehow. What really irritates me though is that since Moonstone KO'd the launcher, I didn't get credit for removing a launcher's regen, meaning I didn't master the fight. Oh well, gently caress it.

   loving FINALLY! God, that was the worst RNG garbage I've ever had to deal with in this game- the 30% status spells are such worthless garbage that most certainly do NOT work 30% of the time. Don't let pride lead you into oblivion, friends- just let the two Major Black Orbs go. It's not worth it. Unless you have good FFII synergy, I guess, in which case go wild.

Is there a website where you can look up exactly what a SB does in terms of percentages? I want to know exactly how much Maria's SSB from the first banner adds to magic.

Thanks! Didn't realize that spreadsheet was so useful. I think it's linked in the OP. 20% is more than I'd hoped. I figured it would be 10%. Maybe I will try that CM after all.

If anyone in here is an android dev type and wants to make the game run less poorly on their Android phone, I've had some success with it by installing the Xposed framework (root required) and using its app settings module to force FFRK's screen dp to 320x480. The game looks identical but I get that creamy 60fps feeling, it's a definite increase. Anyone less dev-like and afraid a root/flash from recovery will gently caress up their phone can still see a significant increase just by enabling dev mode and checking "force GPU rendering."

And don't think you're all set once you get them to sleep - they only stay asleep for maybe 3-4 turns. You basically need to continue spamming sleep abilities at them to keep them that way.
