You can probably get away with even fewer hones up to maybe level 95, because level up replenishes all HP and ability uses. There's always the option to flee and restart if you don't mind losing an egg. I'm running luneth through now with six uses of goon + lightning dives, haven't run out yet

Welp, the good news is it looks like they've decided to stop making Wardrobe Records a one time or nothing thing. FFX event just dropped JP side and it's reissuing Tidus, Auron and Yuna's wardrobe records. So good to know all those Greens in Global were kind of wasted.  Edit: Oh poo poo, I'm both really glad I checked the Gyashl store and that I have a poo poo ton of Greens saved up because they put a bunch of Accessories in there to buy. Like 28 or so, including 5* stuff like the Rose Corsage I was literally just lamenting not having because Shemhazai's Silencega was loving me. Holy poo poo this is awesome!

Is Lightning's BSB pretty good? I got it on the lucky draw. I'm thinking of giving Greg the boot to make room for her on my A-team. I've got Faithful Companion for him, but other than that I don't think he's contributing much more when I don't need him for tanking.

It's mostly just plain non-elemental damage, with some crit rate increase on top. (edit) oh and apparently it stuns a bit, I guess that's nice.

well, Vessel of Fate was definitely the perfect RW I needed to bring along to Ifrit. A damage boost for Vaan and Agrias debuffing him to hell, a magic boost for Rinoa hitting him with ice blasts from her BSB. Of course having AOE heal commands from Eiko BSB helped out too. Glad that's done with... not even thinking about trying to do the CM yet tho

Cait Sith would be an amazing character if only he had an actual AOE heal. As is he's stuck in the same strange dance-support/healer hybrid role Mog is.

There is a Crisis Core event coming up which helps explain Zack a little. I also enjoy how Beatrix's immense popularity puts her in 3rd priority after Zidane and Garnet, despite not being playable. Maybe if they gave Vivi and Tifa better relics this wouldn't be happening.

Alternately remake IX, make Beatrix a party member and slam dunk Steiner directly into the trash where he belongs. Tifa definitely does deserve better, though.

Going to have to use him now. Zell, perfect. Beatrix, this could be funny. Auron, very useful if you have his BSB even if you don't still good. Balthier, Still good. Hope, CRAP *least favorite thirteen character btw* Thancred, could be better. Delita, this is probably the one I'd use the most. Thank you for the information.

Annoying thing is how Penelo is perfectly competent at that, because she actually has White Magic + Dancer -and- access to actual medicas. She's less bulky, but otherwise feels like she just obsoletes Mog and Cait Sith. I actually used her for Cagnazzo just now, because I wanted a dancer (no physical Stop counters) and I happen to have her Intercession-SB, so I could have a second medica and some damage.

Tbh none of those are worth the MC3 in a vacuum. Just nice bonuses you get when breaking the level cap of a character you already use a lot.

Presumably they're giving it a few weeks for people to make headway into the game so they don't spoil things. The machine blade sword we got has XV synergy so it has to come into play somewhere. RagnarokAngel fucked around with this message at 15:14 on Nov 30, 2016 |

So question about Luneth's BSB, the second command raises attack but lowers resistance. Does that mean it stacks with shout? I know the general rule says yes but there's always caveats.

Got two onion motes on the same floor  I have zero FF3 synergy apart from the freebie 4* from core dungeons and Ahriman is kicking my rear end. I don't really care about the FF3 characters so I'm loathe to roll on their banners but if it helps me get those fuckin motes i might just pull the trigger...

Onion Knight Ultimates done. Standard slugfests for most of them. Being unable to use Snowspell Strike for once on the Red Dragon was annoying, but I pulled through. Lot of exploiting weaknesses on the U+, and the U++ was mostly "kill it kill it NOW". I'll take on Mote Ahriman soon. I'll also need to set up teams for the Dark Dragon U and U+ raids, but that'll be later on in the week.

Today I had Balthier's "chance to trigger machinist abilities twice" RM equipped during the Mote dungeon fight, and his BSB commands sometimes triggered twice as well. So apparently his commands count as machinist abilities. Between Balthier blinding and poisoning, Squall with his BSB Wind command, Selphie with Dreamstage, Ramza with Shout, Tyro with SG, and with special thanks to Grozz and his Luneth RW, Ahriman just melted. I also managed to get 5 people leveled up to 80 thanks to the Enigma dungeon so far, and am on track for another 5 by the end. Once that's over with and I get through the FF8 event, I GUESS I'll do the rematch dungeons. I just hate that Cagnazzo. The thing I've noticed with the Ultimate++s is that the rewards haven't been exciting enough for me to actually put any effort into trying them. If a basic setup fails, I generally quit and don't try again. Does anyone else feel that way?

No, but that's often because there's some crystal used in Meltdown or Valigaramalamadingdongtritoch in there, and I know what those do even if I can't quite make them yet. Having said that, it's just two crystals. If some U++ walls the hell out of me some time, I'm not gonna cry over it, and I'm sure as hell not gonna waste effort mastering one of them if I miss it.

Bit the bullet and rolled on banner 1. Off-banner Organyx (VI) and Arc's Elder Staff. Because I needed more healer poo poo apparently; Relm's SSB and Eiko's BSB aren't enough. Getting kind of tired of being stalled on offensive SBs...

I got it from the Black Friday draw and I think it's pretty good, if a bit situational. With PC+FC and her BSB she's really effective against enemies with no elemental weakness, and her command 1 has a moderate chance to stun for a nice side of utility.
