Yup.

What's the best way to record dive for OK? Focus on magic or physical only, or hybrid him?

Since you got both the Sword and the BSB, I'd go Physical first, get use out of the SSB in case you need him to just burst out damage in a single chunk.

Other factor would be your A-team, too. Do you tend to run a phys or mage team, and go with that.

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

More importantly, the boosting effect (the +30% ATK/MAG) already comes on two other characters already (Celes's BSB has it alongside her enholy on entry, Tellah's SSB has it but gives him Doom) and will show up on more and more characters in the future.

If you don't pull OK BSB, don't stress about it too much. It won't be like Shout where we won't have any reasonable alternatives for a months-long span of time. In fact, the next big Whalebait banner (Alphinaud 1) has it in the form of Alphinaud's SSB, which offers the boost alongside Radiant Shield (a new buff for that event that reflects any damage you take back onto the boss - amazing for raid battles that spam AoE)

I tend to run physical so that's probably a no-brainer, but I also already have Ramza (Shout, Tailwind, Unsung Hero BSSB, AND Hail of Stones) and Celes (Maria's Song BSSB and Spinning Edge). Plus I have Decil and Leon who also have attack buffing SBs.

The only mage BSSB I have right now is Rinoa and I want to beef up a bit there since I'm still struggling against Kaiser Dragon and Neo Bahamut (weak hones on *5 magic are killing me).

100 gems and 100 mythril in, Elder Staff, Heroic Shield x 2, and Lust Dagger out. Not really what I was hoping for, but it's still decent synergy, so I'll take that. Guess I'll have to rely on FFXV for a pick-me-up after Retail Hell Week.

The only upcoming Imperil Winds are Zack BSB in about 3 weeks (which is on the same banner as Cloud Wind-element OSB and Cloud's Attach Wind SB) and Zidane BSB (which is on the same banners as Zidane's Attach Wind SSB and Zidane's Wind-element OSB) in about 7.

Zidane BSB is a possible result on the Black Friday banner though, so who knows how that'll turn out for you!

Like Edly said, there's a chance of them being dropping from the Enigma Dragons but it's the ones from the + Dungeon that have the better odds for gathering some of them...

Otherwise, your other choice is the Ahriman Mote Battle.

Had the best luck I've had in a while. 100 mithril got me two Lust Daggers, Elder Staff, White Mage Robe, Heroic Shield and the Onion Bracers. And an FF1 shield with protectga on It.

I do not know this Onion Child so I will imagine he is the vegetable knight thing from Chrono Cross. I think he was a turnip.

Angeal 1 is a really good pull for anyone looking to build a Wind-team: Imperil Wind BSB, Wind OSB, Enwind for Cloud, and a +Wind hat along with a Wind SSB (Cid's Goggles). The Hewley Buster is also one of three sources of the party-wide DEF+100% boost, it's a shame it's stapled to an otherwise mediocre character (Angeal's not terrible since he's Knight 5, but it'll be forever before he gets a new relic).

The only thing I'd rather not pull from that banner is the Crystal Cross, but if one doesn't already have it it's still an okay prize.

Fang's BSB also has an Imperil Wind effect and will presumably be in the pot for the Friday Lucky Draw.

Call it good. The burst commands are all the DPS you're going to need from OK, magic or phys.

there was a mean thing here before, but now there is a dog
Blowback's actually not bad for reasons that the Burst doesn't fulfill(Wrathable 12x MT magic damage+40% Medica... well, Lifesiphonable too, if you... you know, care about Onion's physical damage while he's in a mage setup...), but if you make a run at that, you're making a run at a different banner with a different grand prize anyways.

(Refia's BSB is overshadowed but quietly really ridiculous.)

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

Personally the spheres I targeted first for my OK were Knight->Gladiator for Support 5 and White Mage->Devout for White 5. With his BSB, Onion is a superb choice for carrying the "other" protectga/shellga, whichever your white mage isn't carrying, and he's also the only Support 5 character for FF3.

Since you got the glove, you can kind of do whatever. A good plan is to level support, combat, Ninja and black magic to start and then lean into how you find yourself using him over time. The Ahriman more dungeon should give you nearly enough to max him, assuming you use the Onion XP dungeon to level him up.

I never remember the Dead Knight event trio order.

I might be pulling on Leo since my only VI synergy is Relm's Medica, but if I can get through the event with shared stuff waiting for Locke/Celes OSB Banners is the plan.

Especially with OSB fest coming up. I don't want to dip into my Surprise Lucky Draw/FFXI/FFXV/WoFF saving either since the timing and potential existance for those are all up in the air. Actually liking Lann and Reynn while playing WoFF modified my Mythril plans.
