Okay. But. Support Soul Breaks are basically never about the damage in the first place, it's about the utility. :shrug:

Lunafreya, if she's not the 15 healer or maybe even if she is?

15 spoilers: A Leviathan SSB/BSB would kinda make sense for her

I imagined her as a healer too, but Water on Luna makes a lot of sense. Make her a Summoner/White Mage like Yuna or Garnet.

It makes me wonder whether FFXV will launch with just the main four, or whether they'll stick Luna with them too. I sort of want Iris to show up eventually too, if only so they can make a character who can borrow Lulu's Dolls.

I'd normally agree with this, although I just finished using Leila's Mug ATK/RES SSB in multiplayer which completely outclasses Setzer's in everyway.

And while damage isn't my priority in support SBs, if it's always going to be doing lovely damage on average they might as well have replaced the damage with Heavy Regen or some other effect.

Terra chat: the only SBs you should care about using on her are her enFire SSB into 99999 OSB. Wrath and meltdown/chain firaga.

Her niche is to be the Goddess of fire.

Hmh, seems like a good way to maintain sanity with multiplayer raids is just doing the, a few days after they start. I been doing some testing with my En-Wind Luneth + Imperil-Wind Zidane, and so far every single group has been pretty darned good.

What is also good, is getting a 8x9500~ Swordshower from Luneth. After a +20% Wind armor, EnWind, Imperil Wind, Mug Bloodlust, Armor Breakdown, Full-break, Vessel of Fate, and his own stacking +Atk/-Res command. I don't think I've ever done as much damage in a single action. :stare:

There's honestly a huge pool of characters for it. The Four Bros, Luna, Iris, Aranea, Ravus, Ardyn, Cor...

Sirius Sidearms, Starseeker and Chainsaw. Three rainbows is good but this feels like a pretty mediocre pull especially since I already have hella XIII and VI synergy. At least I get a cool animation for Edgar I guess.

ApplesandOranges
Jun 22, 2012

Thankee kindly.
Sirius Sidearms is actually getting better with the shift to Vessel of Fate RWs - if you're not bringing Sheepsong, Godsend gels perfectly with Vessel of Fate while also applying two useful buffs. The Faithga could be stronger but it's still pretty solid.

Also I now have Prayer of the Lost for my physical teams, and Evanescence for my magical teams. And I always have Dreamstage if I really need more magical mitigation, so I'm pretty set for healer relics for now. Y'shtola BSB would still be nice, but I don't think it'd be life or death without it now.

1/11 gave me a Mace of Zeus. A bit disappointing but I am severely lacking in mage SBs and have trouble running a mage team despite two stacking faithgas so in the long run it's probably better than another physical SB.

Ravus would be a great character. I really enjoyed that amazing fight with Ravus where he really unleashed his [insert class] skills. I bet his BSB and SSB will be [work in progress] themed.

1/11 Valiant Knife (Locke's SSB). Ah well, it's disappointing but at least it's new to me. Gotta stock up on RNG before OSBfest anyway (that's how RNG works).

Does Chainsaw slow? The description just says it lowers poison resistance.

Related: I picked up Chainsaw and Stardust Rod(XIV). Not super thrilled but it's better than nothing.

Again a very likpatous story
I didn't even realize this, but both the SSBs I have for Freya are wind element. So now I have Fang's BSB, Cloud's OSB/Climhazzard, Bartz's BSB, and now both Freya's SSBs, so that's a pretty good wind team I guess!

And here I am wasting 48 stamina because I have to go back into Pandemonium Part 1 and do it with the "right" party members (well, 54 stamina, since there's six "right" members and only 5 slots, also I'm annoyed Quina didn't get her line).

You don't need Quina just for that reason, you just need Zidane/Freya/Amarant/Steiner/Garnet.

Overture is a dupe but a welcome one, bring on the next XIII event!

Things I learned last night:

2: They have the same model

Went from "Oh well, at least I'm pretty sure that it's a decent BSB and a 6+ BSB sword will have a TON of attack :shobon:" to ":aaaaa:" REAL quick. I also have Indomitable Blade already so Celes has fully activated her Waifu mode. I guess I need to record dive her and give her Snowspell Strike now :v:

I didn't know they cut Quina's line due to that before going it, but that makes sense. :v: I still wanted Quina to have her line, because she's my favorite FFIX character.

I will always pull on half price. Steiner's Excalibur, Serah's Burst. Didn't have an EnIce yet so that's nice. Would it be helpful against Mote Ifrit? Still haven't done him yet.

The pull you guys are making today is the "realm dungeon lucky relic draw", right? I am still 10 mithril away from being able to pull but should be able to get that in a couple days, if I keep trucking through realm dungeons.

Yeah, that's the one. It should only cost you 25 mythril, so if it doesn't you're in the wrong one.

This is the only use I could think of for her when I got her SSB from the lucky banner. I don't run magic nearly often enough to consider making something like r3 chain firaga though but I can definitely see the appeal for people who can and do run mage squads primarily.

Serah's burst is like Rinoa's but better in every concievable way. It is the de-facto Ifrit Killer. Now you just need to work out the "survival" part of murdering him.

It's too bad the prices for Mithril are so insane. I like this game way more than FFBE, which has an incredibly hateful gacha system, but the cost for draws is too high for me to justify spending on it.
