I seeeeee, you mean brute force, as in, go in with my Phsyical A-Team, go full buffing, don't give a gently caress and just plow through poo poo. OR to, what, set up a summoner team?

I've heard things about using ninja abilities and summons, but nothing too useful. Put on Fire Resist accessories (the counter attack is fire element) and just go whole hog with Summons, Tyro using ninja magic and a BSB RW. It's simply not worth doing legit.

poo poo, I got wrecked by the Guardian and completely forgot I had Sephiroth BSB. I don't think I have time to deal with this now, but I'll keep that in mind the next time the Nightmare dungeons open. At least I finally got around to doing Mote Ifrit. Vessel of Fate RW was a godsend, since I wanted to bring in Rinoa since I have her BSB but at the same time I wanted to debuff the hell out of him with Vaan and Agrias. Fight ended up going beautifully once everything was in place. Can't imagine doing the CM though...

Well, keep in mind that I believe the big deal in the original statement there was having someone who has Nightmare Synergy (i.e.: Beatrix or a Moted OK) use the BSB via RW. I mean, I don't think it would necessarily hurt to bring your own Sephiroth too, but yeah.

So the black Friday lucky draw gave me my third BSB! ...for Jecht. Any abilities that work particularly well with the drunk rear end in a top hat?

So multiplayer seems like it could be fun, assuming you can get a group that can balance poo poo properly instead of bringing physical AoEs to a fight that lets you sleep a target. Oh, and providing critical buffs like Shout/Haste/Wall/Maria's Song/etc. Oh, and I guess Android's latest update is hosed, so it's iOS or emulator if you really want to enjoy it. At least they're soloable, I guess.  ArmadilloConspiracy posted:So the black Friday lucky draw gave me my third BSB! I hear Meteor Crush is pretty good.

You can also abuse DEF piercing attacks like the monk Piercing Strike and Sephiroth BSB. That's how I mostly did it. Also the rematch lucky draw is just shockingly bad.

There we go, I beat 'm. Ran out of gas with abilities(did not hone Ninja stuff enough) and I had to rely on, out of all things, Yuna's BSB for damage. So, I didn't mastered it, but I'll return someday with more hones to get them White Crystals. Meanwhile, I've got Curada. Yay!

I think my favorite part about multiplayer is watching someone either get smoked down by two attacks on them at the start before mitigation or when a bunch of people trigger counters with lifesiphon on turn one to murder many more people.

So, here's the important question: is the Lucky Banner even G5? By the look of it, I'm not even SURE about that.

It says, "Guaranteed to get a specially selected Unique Soul Break". That sounds like G5 to me but haven't pulled yet.

I drew on this half off banner because shiny. I got.. Pole Axe, Wyrmfang (2nd), Seraphim's Mace, Sirius Sidearms, and Ebon Armor (3rd). Worth 25 mythril I suppose for 2 supers.

Is this banner even worth pulling from a "at least I'll get some stat sticks" perspective? The only possible dupes for me are Overture and Sirius Sidearms, and I've already got 2 Overtures anyway so I guess worst case I can combine one, but man. VII and XIII are two of my stronger realms, synergy-wise, though I still have a decent number of gaps in both.

I didn't really want to spend the mythril on a lovely banner but it's half off and gently caress it I'm still bitter about my Black Friday pull being utter trash. One 5*. Fusoya's Faerie Rod. gently caress.

I'll pretty much always pull when its 25 mith. I got Serah's Starseeker, Golbez's Ebon Armor, and Rosa's White dress which is like a mini wall? Great for me since I didn't have poo poo from any of those relms.

Getting the First Fusion Dupe and Overture on my BSB Lucky Draw is the biggest sign I shouldn't draw on this banner. I have decent 13, 4, and 7 synergy. There are maybe 3 items on this banner I would actually like even considering stat sticks. I'm probably going to cave and pull anyways at some point because I have very little self-control. An 8* First Fusion Sword would be nice. I'm trying to remind myself the Buff Lucky Draw is coming up, or that this 25 Mythril is probably better spent refreshing during orbfest, but I have enough spare Mythril from the Thanksgiving bonus that I have enough for all my scheduled pulls.

Whelp, I decided to go for it and went 1/11 again. Serah's Starseeker so it's SSB level at least and my first magic bow.

3/11, 3 Uniques. Yuffie's 4-Point Shuriken, Fang's Partisan, Cid's Pole Axe. I don't really have much in the way of throwing weapons so I guess that as a stat stick (stat star?) is something, I guess... I'm weak, I can't resist half price.

Alright, stomping those three assholes into fine paste (Especially SIN) was insanely therapeutic. I didn't even bother playing by their rules. Lost 2 medals for dogs and ate like 4 Tsunamis from Cagnazzo for a pitiful 1500 damage each.

Here's what all's on the Lucky Draw Banner for anyone on the fence: Triton's Dagger (IV) - Palom's Chaincast Boltstorm (Super) Deathbringer (IV) - Dark Knight Cecil's Shadowbringer (Super) Kotetsu (IV) - Edge's Eblan Dual Wield (Unique) Faerie Rod (IV) - Fusoya's Lunar Auspice (Unique) Stardust Rod (IV) - Tellah's Dire Meteor (Unique) Seraphim's Mace (IV) - Porom's Sync (Super) Elven Bow (IV) - Rosa's Divine Favor (Unique) Mystic Whip (IV) - Rydia's Odin (Super) Ebon Armor (IV) - Golbez's Nightglow (Unique) White Dress (IV) - Rosa's Miracle (Unique) Organics (VII) - Cloud's Blade Beam (Super) 1st Fusion Sword (VII) - Cloud's Fenrir Overdrive (Burst) Pole Axe (VII) - Cid's Hyper Jump (Unique) Platinum Fist (VII) - Tifa's Burning Arrow (Unique) Master Fist (VII) - Tifa's Dolphin Blow (Super) Zack's Gloves (VII) - Zack's Air Strike (Unique) 4-Point Shuriken (VII) - Yuffie's Landscaper (Unique) Magic Comb (VII) - Red XIII's Stardust Ray (Super) Keepsake Ribbon (VII) - Aerith's Planet Protector (Unique) Sephiroth's Coat (VII) - Sephiroth's Nibelheim Nightmare (Unique) Overture (XIII) - Lightning's Requiem of the Goddess (Burst) Glaive (XIII) - Fang's Pulsar Burst (Unique) Partisan (XIII) - Fang's High Dive (Unique) Power Circle (XIII) - Snow's Diamond Dust (Super) Wyrmfang (XIII) - Vanille's Oerba's Boon (Unique) Starseeker (XIII) - Serah's Ultima Arrow (Super) Airwing (XIII) - Hope's Earthquake (Unique) Sirius Sidearms (XIII) - Sazh's Godsend (Super) Corps Field Uniform (XIII) - Lightning's Stormborn (Unique) Serah's Gloves (XIII) - Serah's Clock Master (Unique) So that's 4 Supers for IV, and 3 Supers and 1 Burst for VII and XIII. Note that the banner itself also says "Guaranteed to get a specially selected Unique Soul Break! Chance for Burst Soul Break and Super Soul Break Equipement!" So basically, unless you're really hurting for synergy in IV, VII and XIII (ie three of the most common event realms) or you've got excess Mythril burning a hole in your pocket, it's probably not really worth it.

That's not even considering that the two featured Bursts are pretty poor in terms of value, too. I'd be slightly tempted for the last attempt at Magic Comb, but it's just not worth it with that kind of relic pool.

Yeah, looks like I'm skipping that banner. I have enough VII and XIII stuff as it is, and while I could use more IV stuff, I have enough reforged stuff from that realm to make up for it.

Should I care at all to pull my punches with Bahamut SIN, or should I just rush him down and hope for all other medals? Edit: It turns out that if you kill fewer than eight Shadow Creepers you can get partial credit! In this case I ended up killing six - four by damage, and two more when the boss died like a chump.

Even at half price this banner is a pass for me, because I have 33 mythril and I'm building up for a big pull on OK 2. I wouldn't make it if I pulled on this.

Am I missing something, or is there a reason that two of the revenge dungeons say they cost 1 stamina, and the Bahamut Sin one says it costs 60? Is it just because SIN was an ultimate and not an Ultimate+ because that's pretty silly.

Attestant posted:Guys. Guys. Yeah I dollar pulled it on the last 12 banner and it's been a great back-up for me against any boss without elemental weaknesses. It's kind of awkward because it's the sixth or seventh best SB I have and so Vaan constantly hovers on the edge of being on or off the team.
