CaptainPsyko posted:You are overthinking this. First, yeah. I'm a bit of an OCD retard when it comes to strategy games. Just look at my posting history here.  I dumped over ten Mythril, sounds legit. Schweeet! I think this is a great Orbfest but I did take a break from the game that lasted at least six months. I appreciate your response, thank you kindly. Sprite141 posted:So I have enough mythril to pull on the buff banner, but I want a draw on osb 1 too... The choices man. All these bonus banners are drawing me thin. Had Gordon's spear drop, I'm pretty pleased with it. The Orbfest should give you enough to do the draw. That or random things like new dungeons, raid dungeons and the events from VII and V if you didn't clear them. That way you won't be broke afterwards. Good luck!

Pretty lazy of them reusing the same U+ from the last V event. Except he's more annoying this time even. "Hey I'm going to quad shot your healer and there's not a single thing you could have done about it". Just stupid.

If it was Draw Fire-able, maybe, but as it is he can just throw 3-4 attacks at Lenna during the phase transitions and you just have to pray. And her not having an actual Medica means she has to use a shared one, which hurts her defense even more.

Either you're facing AoE, or it's a boss with elemental weaknesses ripe for the exploiting.

EDIT: You know, I just realized how dickish it is to have "exploit Wind weakness" as a mastery condition on a mage meta-focused boss the event before we get anything resembling effective mage wind damage. If you don't want to use Gust and don't have Meltdown, you're pretty solidly hosed and have to risk bringing a physical dude. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Dec 24, 2016 |

On the other hand, this version has a 50% chance of Kicking in his Very Weak phase, which is double the chance of the last time we fought him.

Ults were interesting. First was a crash course in why I like bosses weak to holy and ones with multiple targets, second was Bartz being a dick, and the third was "hope you have a fuckton of magic". Anyway, back to orbs

Dorgann got to 65, now time for grinding people in order of MC3 obtaining. I probably won't get too many people to 80 this time around, but we'll see how fate treats me.

Mastered the CM for the U+. Bartz was...not that big a deal. Then again I have a lot of SBs for V. Krile used Sheepsong for haste and threw out Meltdown/Chain Blizzaga. Bartz used a lot of Lifesiphon until he could Choco Romp and then Light of the Four. Faris used Power/Armor Breakdown and then used Beryl Serpent and spammed Rough Tides. Lenna cast Protectga and healed, and busted out Pride of Tycoon when a couple of unlucky missile salvos got me. Gilgamesh doesn't have any SBs, so he just used Gaia Cross to keep the rest of the party healthy, and used a lot of Banishing Strike. Took a while due to not having any attack boosts, but I only lost one medal for damage.

For those doing the CM for U+, just a reminder that Dorgann can carry Breakdowns and Banishing Strike. He's a great versatile option in general.

It's actually not too bad - the worst thing you have to deal with is him randomly deciding to off Lenna during his phase shifts. Otherwise you can handle it fairly well with a Shout/VoF team - Faris for Breakdowns, Gilgamesh for damage and Gaia Cross, Bartz/Galuf for damage, and Dorgann for Breakdowns and Banishing Strike. Or just drop one of Gilgamesh/Bartz/Galuf for Exdeath as a secondary healer. I did it with most of my FFV team around L70, so it's definitely possible (and the only unique SB I used during the fight was Trueblade of Legend).

Twelve by Pies posted:Took a while due to not having any attack boosts, but I only lost one medal for damage. Bit late now but that's "on you", so to speak, Faris and Bartz can both use Steal Power and Gilgamesh can use Mirror of Equity. In fact I do believe that's what I'm going to do if my plan to rocket tag the boss with a Vessel of Fate RW doesn't pan out. It should, though, I beat the CM last time around and I didn't have the armor synergy I do now.

I saw in the discord someone gave a good tip on Bartz, and that's to equip good DEF stuff as opposed to just jacking up your ATK. I should have figured that out on my own since the last Bartz fight was similar in that it was a defensive battle as opposed to just out-damaging him. You want to put as many guys in the back row as feasible and gear them for DEF. Instant KO stuff and/or elemental resists for his obnoxious spellblade spams. My guys with the DEF armor(luckily I had some V stuff) were surviving as opposed to the ones I had random bracers on or whatever who were getting totally creamed.

How do the stats of a roaming warrior affect their usefulness? Does the effectiveness of, say, Shout go up with Ramza's stats?

The Shortest Path posted:How do the stats of a roaming warrior affect their usefulness? Does the effectiveness of, say, Shout go up with Ramza's stats? For Shout, it's always going to be +50% ATK to your party, regardless of his stats when he casts it. I know that the duration of the Haste part is increased by having a higher MND, but I don't know if that also applies to the duration of the +ATK part.

W.T. Fits posted:For Shout, it's always going to be +50% ATK to your party, regardless of his stats when he casts it. It doesn't. Also, the added benefit of stacking MND for Hastega + stat buffs is pretty overrated. I mean, it's not nothing, but in general the haste will last as long as the +stat and you'd want to refresh when either expires, so the marginal benefit is pretty slim. In general, +MND is useful for haste shell and protect; for Stat buffs and other such things, it's irrelevant. For RW's that actually do damage or heal, the magnitude of that is based on the roaming warriors stats. Burst commands are based on your characters stats, so the RW doesn't matter there.

It takes an extra 2 seconds of effort to throw your best mind gear on a Ramza RW. I think mine is at like 300+ mind or something, i haven't looked at him in a while.

It's not nothing to be sure. But as an RW user I sure as hell am never checking the MND of any of the rando Ramza's and Ok's I summon, which was my point.

The RWs stats has a minor affect on the duration of buffs, but that's about it. Damage of a RW SB/BSB opener is directly tied to the RW stats, but burst commands work off the summoners stats.

  I'd have to say that the U++ isn't the massive DPS/gear check that FF8's was, but it's a rather exacting encounter. In particular, the last two phases have instant actions upon spawning that may wreck you if you're unprepared - Sword Dance and Maelstrom respectively. I eventually ended up having to give Water Viel to Tyro rather than some -aja just so he could reestablish SG before it wore off. The other tricky part is to ensure that you're always hitting a weakness, which is why I ended up shopping around for Meteor XVI (whose AoE command is earth/fire).
