Actually, I'm probably gonna get OK levelled and mote'd up so he can serve as my true 5* supporter for III content. Having SBs for Luneth/Ingus/Refia/Arc but not Desch means that Desch is the odd man out here. Sorry dude, but you don't have a place in a pure physical team!

Got excited when I saw 4 rainbow orbs but it was 3x Onion Sword and 1x White Mage Robe - no gauntlet :(

Is it better to combine the swords or have to multiple copies?

III gear is fairly uncommon, so unless you happen to already have a bunch of weapons from past pulls keep them all separate. Luneth, Ingus, and OK can all use them.

Probably keep them separate unless you already have a bunch of FF3 weapons.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

I got Luneth's Burst, three of his Lust Daggers, and Arc's staff on 100 mythril. I'll save the rest for Friday and see how I'm feeling. Luneth's burst is still a good prize though considering I have Snowspell Strike at r2 for him to abuse, and he's already at level 99 for getting his RM anyway.

I just wanted something for Onion Knight so I could put to use all the weird synergy weapons I have laying around, like fists and stuff. At least I have offensive weapons and a white mage stick for FF3 though!

Nothing new on there, but nice to know that the lucky banner lasts for 3 days so you can collect a bit more from the thanksgiving bonus if needed. Single pull and not the infinite pull like some crazy people speculated.

OK was a complete bust; two 11-pulls, 2 of the OK SSB sword and 2 of Ingus's SB (which I already had a copy of to begin with, making it even worse).

So literally only a -DEF/-RES SSB, and I had one of those in Wakka's Official Ball already (ignoring the -DEF/-RES of Tyro's BSB, even!)

gently caress FF3.

Oh no, you only got a wallbreak with higher-than-average single target SSB damage that lasts for way longer than Wakka's lovely-rear end Official Ball.

Allow me to sing you a whale song of sadness.

Luneth can't use Snowspell Strike. Your best options are Diving for Tornado Strike or Sky High.

Gonna do an 11-pull because I can't wait until Friday.

He's still the only FF3 character with the potential for Support 5, so at a minimum that's worthwhile.

I think he needs mote-ing in order to get access to 5* support, which is what arguably makes him worth egging regardless of whether you pull anything for him or not. There is no other 5* support user in III realms otherwise.

Scholars are some of the most pompous and pedantic people I've ever had the joy of meeting.
Decided to do a pull:
White Mage Robe x2

Oh boy, the banner relic I have the least use or desire for. Twice. :geno:

I think Vaan's BSB is the only desired relic I've gotten from this game since the first FFT banner (Yang's is fine but I doubt I'll use him much regardless). Lots of random stuff and tons of garbage. The game really hasn't given me any reason to want to start spending money, even dollar pulls, again.

I'm still pretty sure (hoping) it is. Everything they've called Lucky Draw has been half price, when the Nightmare relic draws changed to full price and unlimited pulls, they changed it to "Nightmare Relic Draw" so I'm assuming that "Lucky" specifically refers to half price banners.

I suppose it could also just refer to one-time pull banners but...let's be optimistic.

It's like Shout/Sheepsong where it's great to have natively, but you can RW it just fine.

Just decide if you want more FFIII synergy, and if so debate on whether you want it from banner 1 or banner 2.

Hmmmm, beyond the two relics I just mentioned, I have Tyrfing as relics for FF3. My synergy's not too great, no.

I do, however, still lack a Shout/Sheepsong equivalent, which is somewhat annoying for mage parties.

Rule of thumb if you're waffling on a banner: see if you can beat the bonus battles without them. If not, consider a pull.

I've decided I'll wait until that, yeah, and at least after the Black Friday drop. See what it gets me.

ALSO, Onion Knight is super broken I understand from hearing about it, but you need to invest ressources into him, getting his Onion Knight Motes, spend motes to boost him, get him to level 99(he explosively get better at around 90+) if you get his relics.

Penelo's USB looks really good. Instant-cast Curaga Medica, 2000 HP Stock heal, and Blink. It's basically an instant Curada and Blink on everyone.

Even more interesting is Larsa's BSB. Curaga Medica and Astra (blocks one status effect). Considering that Larsa has Wrath access, it looks pretty impressive, and we don't even know his Burst commands yet. Too bad they're on separate banners.

I think that entirely depends on what you pull for him, if anything. Absent any relics, I think his best role in III realms is as a support. Outside of III realms, a relic-less OK probably isn't going to crack any of your teams.

You see here the Orb of Zot.
Update: did two 3 pulls in rage. First one got me Arc SSB1 (Shellga + High Regen + MBlink) and a FOURTH Ingus Shield, making the decision to 5*+++ that thing after this event much easier at least.

Second one got me Arc SSB2 (the CT0 Curaga + Blink).

Ok, done with the banner, at this point all that would be left that would be worth it would be the BSBs and I'm not shooting for a 2% chance total.
