2/11, Lightning and Gilgamesh's bursts. I was hoping for a magic burst but I didn't get any dupes, and maybe secretly I've always wanted Lightning's burst so it worked out :shobon: Now to wait for OSB fest and the Minfilia banner.

Noel's sword and Terra's rod. Glad to finally have a magic burst and glad I didn't get Vaan's for a third time. How's Noel's sword stack up? I have Vaan's and Beatrix's as my other two in my A Team.
Noel's BSB damage is slightly weaker than Cloud's/Bartz's bursts, but it carries a Full Breakdown effect, plus Attack Breakdown/Mental Breakdown commands with a higher multiplier, on a character that hits much harder than Sazh or Larsa.

It's not all that great if your damage capping the hits on lower level content, but It's a great thing to take to any Ultimate/Nightmare fight that has a boss that ignores res/def.

Threw 50 Mythril at the FF3 banner chasing Onion Gauntlets.

Got the Heroic Shield and the Elder Staff instead.

100 Mythril spent is enough for one (late) night. I'll re-evaluate in the morning.

Good luck to all of you! May you avoid Tiny Bees!

Also, since I was waiting to see if I got IV or III equipment in the black Friday Lucky Draw and I didn't get any;

3/11 on Reclaiming the Skies Banner 2: Lamia Harp (!), Wyverns Lance (ok), Faerie Claws (oh hey, IV synergy, nice)
2/11 on Aspiring Knight Banner 1: Heroic Shield (dupe), off-banner Danjuro (lol). Win some, lose some.

Not exactly what I hoped for, but on the other hand, it's my first healer BSB and Locke's has Imperil Fire, which, well, I already have Terra's Fire Beam, so... I think I figured out which Chain spell I'm honing first.

Got 1st Fusion (which is eh, whatever, I mastered the OSB on Cloud so why not) and Oversoul (did I even level Tifa?). Pulled on OK 1 after and got Arc's Medica and that lame shield. At least this is a blink Medica so I have options besides Vanille's ether Medica for later when I have honed abilities. Add that to my complete poo poo pull on Kain 1 and I'm a little salty, but only a little.

It's pretty good regardless, since the commands have other purposes. AoE chance to proc Stun is ok, though the chance is fairly low. But the single target attack is a -Atk/-Def Mug, which will stack with a lot of stuff. That'll definitely be handy.

One of the burst commands is Water/Lightning with a stun proc, the other is a mini-Mug Bloodlust. It's good even without elemental exploitation.

Plus, if you can bring a Tidus BSB or OSB as a RW... well. :getin:

Overture is a "meh" workhorse like most of the early BSBs, it's nearly identical to Cloud's. Slightly lower damage but it has some status effects on it.

Proof of Existence is a pretty standard but strong en-element mage BSB in fire flavor. These guys are the cornerstones of mage teams.

It doesn't stack with Mug Bloodlust, hence why I coined it as such, but that's okay since it gives the exact same buff/debuff combo, just does less damage.

That said, it's a reason to not pack said skill on Rikku.

Black Friday!!! For the Burst draw, I got---Bartz's Ragnarok(ok!) and Vaan's Orichalcum Dirk!! Alright!!!!

Then time for a chase. A chase for one of the BSBs on banner 1. 200 mythril and gets me...Onion Bracers!!! Plus Arc's SSB2 and lots of Lust Daggers. And I have 337 Mythril to spare.

But man that's two killer BSBs there plus one for Bartz who didn't have anything before. Can't complain!

I saved up 300, and even then that was with marathonning probably 40-50 elites to finish off my realms. And that was a challenge.

I can't even fathom how you save 600 without monklike patience and devotion to the onion knight.

Well 3000 was gems I bought for my birthday some time ago :D. But other than that was mythril. I've had these building up for some time now. I also mostly skip lucky draws that don't filter out the garbage so that helped my accumulation.

That's more than I wanted to spend on this banner though and that last pull was my last one regardless of whether I got the bracer or not. Next pull will probably be on OSB-fest if that. Or the XIV thing. I can skip Celerity relic draw now though since I have Vaan's BSB.

Will I get 50 mythril before it closes or...?
