RWs letting me punch above my weight in the coliseum. Now have motes I cant use until I break level caps, which I have no crystals for yet!

Did score me the earth orbs for Protectga though :toot:

Dollar pulled Mace of Zeus, which doesn't seem all that special, but it's my first source of medica so hooray

I thought, "oh, I have tons of female characters leveled with SBs, making a team for the girl power battle will be easy!"

Then I actually looked, and they're all healers :gonk:

Thus goes my pseudo mage meta team: Faris / Relm / Y'shtola / Selphie / Maria, with Faris record dived up to 5* dancer because multi break is a useful as hell thing to have.

e: Oh, that was really easy. Like, not even ultimate level; possibly not even ++ level. Now I feel silly. After layering two faithgas my summons were doing two 9999s to all of them, and I didn't even get to use Maria's BSB.

Lol, I had Krile's, Rydia's, and Rosa's SSBs and Rinoa's and Yuna's BSBs. My girl power mage team tore that fight to shreds

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



I feel like the Omega fight is going to end up being stupidly hard in comparison to these other coliseum fights, unless this was just the easy one and they start ramping up from here.

Also I've done almost 20 dollar pulls and I've never gotten a 5-star of any kind, so it's probably time I stop doing them before I hit the point where I would have been better off whaling on a banner.

Dollar draw was junk, but it's fine, I have half of the items on the banner anyway. In other news, I missed doing the Curada Nightmare, so that's going to be on the docket next time it opens up.

Trying to juggle this, JPN FFRK, Mobius, and other gaming is starting to take its toll. There's just too much going on, and it'll be worse at the end of the month with XV releasing. Never enough time, is there?

Got Lenna's SSB from the dollar pull.

As much as I want Lightbringer I now have four dupes on the banner and is such not worth it

I brought Ashe (RW'd Dusk's Decree with a similar arrangement to what I used with U!Mateus), Agrias (Banishing & Cleansing Strike), Fran (Magic & Mind Breakdown), Selphie (Dreamstage & Shellga) and Terra (BSB, Drainga and her BLK Doublecast RM2).

Managed to not lose medals in the end, but I underestimated not bringing Protectga and always I paid it with Agrias dying to a surprise Cindy-Mindy Tag Team Combo.

Oh, and I fittingly forgot Faris counted as a Girl.

Again a very likpatous story
Agrias, Lightning, Celes, Selphie and Faris tore up this event, the 140 difficulty one wasn't anywhere near a U difficulty fight.

All the fights are multi-target, so you can just quash them with sufficient AoE (although you might want to use ST stuff for Biran/Yenke since it's only two targets).

Omega itself is basically encouraging Stop-lock (and it's a medal condition anyway). He starts with Flash and then Reflect, so if you're using physical teams you'll either have to bring Blind resist accessories, Blindna/Esuna, or just Lifesiphon/Pound and SBs. If you're using a mage team, bring Dispel to handle Reflect in case you don't Stop him in time. He absorbs all elements except Lightning (which he's weak to).

did the event with Celes, Faris, Agrias, TERROR, and Eiko. That was fun I guess.

pichupal posted:

The Casino and Brass de Bravo 2 event that gave out Eiko's RD access happened at the same time as the Cloud OSB event in Japan, which is why the Eiko event didn't give Eiko access. We'll probably see the Dive next month when we get the Golden Roulette Event with the other instrument users (I think it's Sarah, Echo and Kefka)

Best thing in her RD is Bard 5 for Angel Song (AoE Heavy Regen) which only shows up the the Brass event anyways.

Aha I see, thanks for the info. Global is certainly a unique experience.

Doing multi-player in japan and having bosses be killed in silly ways (like a lone Rinoa getting the finishing blow with her normal attack) is making me hyped for getting them in global

Basically all I want from these banners are the BSBs, so pass. Maybe pull for razzmatazz if I get Tidus' OSB, but that might return on a better banner anyway

Also, if you haven't already gotten them, strongly consider grabbing Cid (vii), Palom, Relm and Luneth's +experience RMs, since there's going to be an Orbfest in a couple of weeks.

Well, six weeks, actually. (December 18 is the date on the event internally right now.)

Still a good idea though.

There will be an exp dungeon during the Onion Knight event, which comes a while before the orbfest, so don't stress about leveling them too fast. When people talk about spending mythril to refresh sundaily it hurts me.

It's sometimes a good idea, especially for newer players.

Also got my second Lightbringer with my dollar draw...I think I'll combo it with my original because I don't need three +holy swords.

Do you think, if enough people asked for it, DeNA would put Clear Tranquil on a global banner? Maybe Keeper's Choice 3 or something?

For those wanting to crush the U fight, I set my RW to level 80 Lightning with FF12 synergy and a Kaiser Shield. Will take out all the little adds in 2 casts and do about 2/3 of the bosses health to boot. QKq6

What am I missing here? I cast the RW twice and didn't even take off half of their health.

Were there any regular Uniques on Ultros Select, or was it just SSBs and above? If they redo that for global instead of just repurposing Japan's banner, people could theoretically vote Wutai Headband onto that if there's enough demand for it.

It'll probably come back on a VII banner down the road, the Vega 42s were just on the most recent XIII banners in Japan and those haven't been particularly sought-after in like a year.

I think it was 4 OSB/4 BSB/ 3 SSB? I think the voting was done by category and SBs weren't included.

Just checked:
Bartz/Terra/Cloud/Tidus OSB
Onion/Pecil/Y'shtola/Aerith BSB
Ramza (Shout) /Celes (Indominable Blade) /Krile (Sheepsong) SSB

It's worth mentioning that in the Beatrix OSB Banner 1, all the items were SSB+, no SBs. Banner 2 had Beatrix' Thunder Gloves though. Only chance at seeing Clear Tranquil on a Banner would probably a weapon heavy VII banner, with the Wutai Headband added to round off the banner, but regular SBs seem to be disappearing.

FF12, Zodiac Jobs edition, was good. :colbert:

Yeah, I really enjoyed Mateus U and Ahriman U+. Mateus in particular was a real nail-biter, I one-shot it but only by the skin of my teeth. It didn't really feel like anything in the fight was bullshit, he just straight up bombards you with damage and you need to take out the adds fast before you're overwhelmed. Ahriman was a bit annoying, but once you knew the scripted slow was coming it was just a matter of preparing for maser eye.

The only fight in that event I really despise is Daedalus U++, because of the bullshit stop RNG and his insanely high MND meaning that anyone he hits with stop may as well be dead.

At least Daedalus has pretty bad rewards, unless you're gunning for something that requires Earth or Wind Crystals. I may just ignore him, because I don't feel like going through all the S/L-ing that he requires.
