Looks like I got a little too trigger happy with reforging some 4* gear and now I have 158k gold where only recently did I have around 33 million! Oh well, what would I have done with it anyway? It kinda sucks there isn't much you can spend gold on. When is the next orbfest? That's where I got the vast majority of my gold from. drat I got lucky with cagnazzo- completely mastered. No one got stopped, he slowga'd once (3/5 of my team), and only one tsunami passed through. I didn't trigger dusks decree or Maria's song. I only used one squall OSB rw too. My team: RW: Sub-Zero Blast (lv. 99) = ~40k a pop  Tyro --- Sentinel's Grimoire - Mako Might Ashe --- Dusk's Decree - Devotion Pecil --- Paladin Force - Ace Striker Celes --- Maria's Song - Love's Wake Faris --- Beryl Serpent/Sea Lord's Broadside - Dr Mog's

Killed doga and Unei thinking "ok time for the U++" then got to the rewards screen and remembered they were the U++ fight. Vaan BSB continues making magic heavy boss fights a total joke. He also carries Mug Bloodlust because sure why not stack it with his BSB and full break so that everyone just rips through enemies like they're made out of paper.

CaptainPsyko posted:So I guess trolling MP matches and casting sleep on healers and dismissal-ing OSB casts is a thing now. Doesn't the MP interface allow you to block players that have proven to be Problematic? Sounds like we need to start keeping tally. Alternately, never brave the pubbies because the pubbies hate you.

KataraniSword posted:A friend of mine getting into the game just now is looking at the FF3 banner and considering pulling on it, and I have to ask: does Onion Knight's MC3 ever get added to the hall of rites? He's useless without it and I don't think they have the hones/levels/MCs to clear the event and tackle through to the ++ stage right now. And I can't rightly suggest a friend pull on a banner where they might get two amazing SBs they can nonetheless never use because OK without minmaxing is garbage. Yes, OK's MC3 is added to the hall of rights. I started JP FFRK after this event, but managed to pull a bunch of his gear during the anniversary. So when the next FFIII event landed and I could actually get some OK motes, I had to get his MC3 from the hall of rights (it isn't given out in the next event). If your friend pulls anything for OK, have them bite the bullet and use eggs to level him up. Getting those 5 OK motes from the Cid Missions saves so much trouble. I farmed the FFIII EXP dungeon the whole time it was available in the next FFIII event and only got 8 motes.

That said I'm not even mad, I'm mainly just laughing. He didn't sabotage the kill, he just put a healer to sleep near the end and then went out of his way to deny someone else the killing blow.

Good to know, I guess? Anyway my Poison shell is at 4 and my Bio Grenade is still at default but I never use Dark Orbs so I think I'll be fine.

I dunno man, I've only been playing this game for like four months  Just hone stuff for characters you use a lot. Vaan is permanently affixed to my A team so I made Thief's Revenge a priority, for example, and I have Chain Stonega because I have Maria's BSB.

Munoma posted:So yeah, how about some suggestions grand poobah? The first two of those are a good start. That said, after the obligatory "GET FULL BREAK" the answer is more and more varied these days. Lean into your relics, and/or aim for versatile CM tools. In the former category would be Chain -ga spells (or Dark Zone) that match any enelement Mage SSBs you have (ditto Tornado Strike, Lightning Dive, Saint's Cross, Sapphire Shot as appropriate for physical.) Similarly, if you have a great use everywhere Knight, Saints Cross is a no brained. Got a thief with a top tier Burst (hello, Vaan), Thief's Revenge is a strong call. Got a Celerity 5/Combat 5 like Lightning or Gau in need of some butans? Powerchain and Full Charge are excellent. In your case, since I know you have Tidus's OSB, I'll strongly recommend Sapphire Shot. (Hydroburst is a good 4* AoE for him too.) Powerchain/Full charge is also a really good combo on him, but pricey. That said, I mainly use Tidus with R3 Powerchain and Sapphire Shot these days - mainly for Powerchain-> OSB fun times. In the latter category, you have strong tools that will let you take on CM's relic free. In that category we have a number of two-ability combo packages that are very strong. Memento Mori / Dark Zone is so potent that I have, on multiple occasions, handed a no-synergy Mage sword to the likes of Jecht or Leon and turned them into a competent 12-15k/round black Mage. In the hands of a real black Mage, utterly deadly. Dark zone really wants to be at R3 though, since you're stuck pairing it with the merely okay Memento Mori in most cases. Blood of the Wyvern / Dragoon Jump or Lightning Dive - the latter is much much much stronger, but the former is good to have for NE damage if needed. As with Dark Zone this wants to be honed well because Blood is nothing special save for how it feeds your jumps. Powerchain/Full Charge - has CM users in 3,6,7,8,10,13. (Some require diving) Does tons of damage. Very expensive. Thief's Revenge, Saints Cross, Gaia Cross - all strong, and two out of three have very valuable utility.

The only dumb thing about shattering thief's revenge is that we didn't get a free copy so that means you crafted it first. Which says you didn't think it through the first time. That's on you though.

I do want to hone Full Break but I'm waiting for the Orb Dungeon. Trust me it is a priority. I know Dark is a good element but I see very little point in honing Dark Zone when Dark Bargain is much more useful for me atm. Hydroshot is almost completed, Saphire Shot is interesting but I'm sleeping on it. I could work Lighting Dive and Saint Cross isn't at default for me because, esuna+regen.

Roguelike mentality actually kicks in for me and punts me to use orbs every so often, on the lines of "If you get into trouble with them in your inventory, you're going to regret it", similar to "If you die with potions in your inventory, they're no use.". I keep a buffer to make 4* and down abilities with, of about 10 Majors each, for emergencies, past that it's fair game. (Except Summon, because I've made the one Summon I can possibly foresee needing in an emergency, Carbuncle.) That roguelike mentality helps me with a Final Fantasy cell phone game has never stopped amusing me. Doesn't stop there, either. All hail the

Looks like JP is getting a difficulty increase for their bonus battles. Instead of 140/160/180, they're now 140/180/220. So yes, Cid's Missions are going to be Ultimate++ instead of Ultimate+. They upped the rewards too, but man, I'm going to have to bow out of a few CMs now.
