Cape Cod Crab Chip posted:I will tell you from experience that Cecil's BSB does very good damage even if an enemy does not have an elemental weakness unless they resist Holy specifically. Enholy-boosted Saint Cross is 20k damage on anything that doesn't have sky-high DEF. But okay, fair point, if you don' t have Saint Cross or don't have it honed high, you may benefit more from hitting elemental weaknesses. Let's think different, then: what SBs do you have for Spellblades? Got anything for Luneth, Bartz, Celes, Cloud, Squall, Steiner, Balthier or Lightning? If I was in your shoes, and I kind of wish I was because I would kill for Vaan's BSB, I would look in that direction because I am just about positive that with your team, you will hit harder with R3 Spellblades than Rydia will with R4 -jas. I mean, if you're using her to hit elemental weaknesses, her BSB is essentially useless. Either the commands hit for more than 10k, in which case you're not using your skill slots, or they don't and you might as well use Sephiroth who I am positive would hit for about 13k with his first BSB command. No for all of those spellbladers except Cloud and Balthier. I have Cloud's ssb and for Balthier I think I have his ssb and bsb. My Saint Cross is r2, but I probably have enough to R4 it if I wanted to.

You have Agrias though. Shift Protectga to Cecil or switch out Lifesiphon and have her do Spellblades. Edit: She's not a 5* like Bartz/Celes/Delita/Squall/Paine (I think Orlandeau is the next one and Steiner is getting a 5* buff soon), and can't dive for it like Luneth/Cloud/Balthier/Lightning, so she can't use the best Spellblade stuff, but hitting weaknesses is stronger then Lifesiphon and still pretty good at charging her SB. pichupal fucked around with this message at 20:22 on Dec 5, 2016 |

9 potential dupes for me on this banner, but I'm still going for it for sure. Would be super pumped to get either Celes sword or any thief gear so I can *finally* have an SB for a thief, any thief, and see how they play. Crossing my fingers that I don't get a bunch of XIII poo poo because I really don't need anymore and it's my least favorite realm on this banner by miles.

Has anyone ever played around with Wrath/ Entrust shenanigans? I keep forgetting entrust even exists. Like maybe if you had two Wind burst users against a boss weak to wind then it might be worth using a character as a wrath and entrust battery to keep them flowing or if you are doing a CM and only one dude has a good damage soul break? I don't know, it just seems like a weird skill to have just sitting there in 5 star land.

(new player) did the half-price draw thing and now I have a few shinies. I don't know how to tell the difference between the various breaks they give but I got Platinum Fist for Tifa, Starseeker for Serah, Mystic Whip for Rydia, and Magic Comb for Red XIII. I also pulled a couple of Physician's Staves for Vanille yesterday. My question is, I only have Rydia out of those people - who should I spend my first hero soul on? Who is going to do the best job of carrying me a bit? edit In case it matters I am using Tyro with a generic 5* sword (zantetsuku?), arc w/ vanille's staff until I get vanilla, rydia with her whip, cloud in generic gear, and luneth with generic gear. Tyro, Rydia, and Cloud are level 50 since I think there was some kind of event that gave me a shitload of exp eggs. big cummers ONLY fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Dec 5, 2016 |

How worth it is it to set up an imperil team? I landed Fang's Rhomphaia from the Black Friday lucky draw, that puts me with four people with wind elemental SB options, being Fang, Luneth with Gungnir and its en-Wind, Squall with his BSB commands, and Bartz with another en-Wind SB. I'm just curious how the math goes, if there's enough DPS gain to merit using a regular SB to en-Wind Bartz, or if exploiting the imperil is enough to justify Squall's burst commands as a source of element. Secondary question, how bad do I need to hone Snowspell Strike now?

Just slap snowspell and aeroga strike on Squall, sky high on Fang, and aerora strike on Luneth to build SB bar between BSB charges. (Remember that even if imperil is weaker than a natural weakness, it still counts as weakness for charging the SB gauge!) Also consider pulling on the Angeal banner for more wind options.

I also pulled a couple of Physician's Staves for Vanille yesterday. My question is, I only have Rydia out of those people - who should I spend my first hero soul on? Who is going to do the best job of carrying me a bit? There are a few ways to think about it: 1) Do you like one of the characters in particular? Then just go for them! Simple and easy. 2) Which is the most powerful? That is a bit more complex, but basically, you should probably first go with one of the Super Soul Break-characters you got (Vanille or Red XIII). Rydia is good too, but you have her already. Neither of those are exactly what I'd call a "carry", but both characters fill very important niches. Vanille + Physician's Staff would have you set for a white mage/healer for a good while, though she's also a competent Black Mage early on. While she won't carry you offensively, you'll probably use her for a long while, unless you get another AoE soul break soon. Red XIII + Magic Comb on the other hand is a Support user, which means his lategame niche is in debuffing enemy stats (a must-have in most parties). He can also do secondary black magic, but his SSB (super soul break) is physical, and rather strong compared to your other options. The OP has a pretty good rundown on differences in soul break power, but basically SSB > SB. However Tifa's is mildly interesting at the start, since her Platinum Fist offers a party-wide boost to physical damage. Comboing that with Red XIII and his SSB is going to be fun early on. Unfortunately it's a bit dated by now though, and you'll have access to better damage boosting options eventually. Meanwhile Serah + Starseeker is ok, but having Rydia with a SSB is going to be a stronger mage option most of the time. Still, Serah's will provide Slow in case a boss wants that as a bonus medal condition. Or... 3) Wait till tomorrow, when there will be another Lucky Draw, this time covering FF6, 9, 13 and 14. The catch is that this time it's 100% Super Soul Breaks or higher only, with no weaker normal Soul Breaks at all. So just focus on grabbing 25 mythril via dungeons or whatever, and make a decision after that pull. Attestant fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Dec 5, 2016 |

Also for the record, getting characters is pretty easy, even if the list might seem pretty daunting at the start. If you end up liking the game and keep playing, you'll eventually get everyone you want with fairly low effort. It'll just be a bit annoying at the start, since you'll be pulling new relics faster than you get opportunities to get Hero souls. But it's nothing to stress about, you won't be missing anything long term.

RK makes it easy to get all the characters you want. I've been playing for about four months, and I had every currently-available character as of about a month ago; the issue is more getting soul break relics for people.

I am a big fan of the monetization structure so far which led to me dropping Brave Exvius for this, even though BE looks and runs a lot smoother on my phone. I like that characters are easy to get because I can be suboptimal and just play with people I like if I want :3

For all we say, FFRK is ridiculously generous with it currency and giving you good poo poo while BE feels like a hamster wheel sometimes. Anyhow, nowdays the great days of Bricking a 11 pull are over, I'm quite eager to see what I'm gonna get for that half-pull. Do we know, by the way, what the finished multiplayer version is gonna be like?

I have seven relics. I woudln't even mind an extra chocobo brush cause it can function as a half-assed mage stick for that realm. And it looks to me like the next U+ is one of those ones designed to be fought with a mage team. Luckily though there are plenty of mages in that realm.

big cummers ONLY posted:When you guys say x/11 are you referring to the number of rainbow drops from a pull, or that you already have x out of 11 possible upgrades in the 5*+ range How many 5* items in a 11-pull. For the most part, you want to do 11-pulls every single time, since that guarantees you're at least getting 1/11. The 3-pull is always a gamble, since that guaranteed 5* item not a thing there. 1-pull isn't any better. But then, if you feel like spending a bit of money on the game, then every normal banner has a single discounted 1-pull for 100 gems. Or about $1. Usually that's called a Dollar Pull, and a lot of people use money only on those in this game.

I really wish Record Keeper didn't absolutely chug on Android, because trying to do multiplayer is such a drat hassle. It's hard enough working around idiots that insist on not paying attention to a boss's counters and immunities, but then to basically see the rest in a drat slideshow is abysmal. I may have to consider emulation if I keep having issues, but that's a road I'd rather not go down on my main account.

Also if you're new and getting into the game right now, it's good to know that a festival will be coming in just a few weeks. These banners are great for newcomers especially. So it might do you good after this lucky draw to accumulate mythril for those.

Though I would highly recommend a draw on Keeper's Choice 2 just because everything on there is solid, you have a chance of getting one or both of two game-defining relics (sentinel's grimoire and platinum sword), and you get a guaranteed 5* armor (which is rare when you're new) and can pick one with a shared medica (full team heal) on it.

Just give her Saint Cross and a boss which either counters with magic or uses magic frequently and you've got your infinite cast Holy Knight of Destruction. Seriously, I pretty much solo'd d220 multiplayer Ultros in Japan with an IB Celes triggering guaranteed Counter Firagas by hitting with Dual Fire Strike, thus refilling Dual Fire Strike's expended charge, etc. Pretty much everyone else who could do damage died about halfway through the fight and it was just Celes, a couple healers, and a spent Papalymo for the final phase.
