Got the gold sword from roulette and promptly made an 8* gold sword. With synergy it's 2nd behind Zack's apocalypse+ and goddamn I have so much melee synergy for ff7.Varance posted:Still waiting for this Ultimate: Or that Lenna's white mage robe is just a bustier, apparently.

I think it's pretty great non-elemental DPS if I'm remembering it correctly. A crit up and Last Stand on entry, Command 2 is 4-hit with cast time down buff with a self DEF/RES decrease, and Command 1 is 4-hit, but upgraded to 8-hit after command 2.

I kind of regretted it myself because I mostly got good but not great stuff: Imperil gave me Rufus' Shotgun, Balthier's Imperil Fire and Lightbringer IX, Curaga gave me Sarah's Ancient Lute and Arc's Insta-Cast SSB. But then the burst one gave me two dupes (another Lightbringer IX and the Healer's Circlet I used to do that reforge) but then Ashe's BSB popped out and I was like, "okay, nevermind." Still kind of sad I got two Lightbringer IX's instead of an Excalibur T for my rear end-kicking Agrias but I'm sure I'll find a way to survive somehow.

U++ was really easy for me. Native Sheepsong was a huge help, and my team was regularly hitting weaknesses for 9999. I timed a magic blink to dodge maelstrom, and thanks to native SG I rarely took a hit that broke 3 digits. I also crafted Curada for the Bartz fight and don't regret it for a second. It's really, really nice

I'm mainly doing Orbfest because now that the game knows I want chips, I'm finally getting really good cactaur luck for once (and very few knights). I've been soloing them with Luneth's EXP RM and characters I want to get to 99. Still have a lot of people to get to 50 then 65, but I might as well save the eggs for them since it's more frustrating to level low levelled people, and soloing with Luneth's RM is technically more efficient without dealing with casting Break on everything.

IcePhoenix posted:I'm not sacrificing the ability to do the ultimates by waiting though I noticed a while back that no matter what else is going on, people in this thread always gotta do the bonus battles the SECOND they drop. Considering they're sticking around til January 10th, I certainly don't see the need to rush it now, unless you want an MC3 lode so a character can suck up that Orbfest exp. I understand getting sick of the Orbfest grind, but these only come every 3 months or so. That said, boy I wish the completion bonus for the dungeon at least tossed you a few chips. Two full runs (120 stamina) and no gold knights.

I understand getting sick of the Orbfest grind, but these only come every 3 months or so. I'm with you on both points, although I'm guilty of the former. Sometimes it just feels good to get those obstacles out of the way so you can tackle the next one more readily. But logically, it's better to hit up orbfest as long as possible and finish V later. It would be nice if there were guaranteed chips, but DeNA doesn't make money doing that. C'est la vie.

I do them asap just so I don't accidentally forget and miss them. I'm 100% stamina efficient due to having a newborn and I've got a good stock of orbs already so it's not much of a concern to me.

From that list, Edge should generally be most people's first priority unless they're adamant that they'll never use Ninjas. Serah's is solid, but keep in mind that Terra's is only a slight loss (13% vs 15%) with no drawback. and if you have a rod Papalymo's beats both. Gilgamesh is cute for solo runs and Kuja's is worth considering for abilities/SBs that power up with Doom. Past that, the only worthwhile ones are maybe Sephiroth's, Minwu's, and Selphie's (Penelo's more versatile but it shouldn't be hard to find a good +MND rod).

Any +30% weapon damage or +school damage RMs are worth considering. Gilgamesh's, as mentioned, is incredible for non-Galuf soloing. Kuja's is very good if you're packing a Dark Zone caster but don't want to use Memento Mori for various totally valid reasons. Generally speaking, the +stat RM3s aren't worthwhile. The mage attack replacers (especially the AOE ones) are mildly interesting for autoattacking through trash waves but that's about it. Any other attack replacers are poo poo (side note: I will laugh my rear end off if we eventually get Ayame's Attack->Hailstorm RM but not Hailstorm itself -- I'll also laugh if they add her MC3 to the Hall with this next update). Really, with the exception of the +weapon damage or +school damage ones, most level 99 RMs are very situational.

It's still astounding that the numerically strongest MAG boost in the game continues to be Devotion. For a Lv50 RM, that's astounding in its own way that it beats out even Lv99s-with-drawbacks.

You can say the same for Dragoon's Determination - it's just had less impact because after a certain point ATK-buff RMs aren't as useful.

It's a white mage BSB, therefore good by default. An AoE heal that you can cast every turn saves a lot of hones and keeps your party healthy.

Lenna's BSB is the best attacking white mage burst, and it actually does a really respectable amount of damage if you have a party MAG/MND buff in addition to her self MND buff.

Penelo's is actually just about equal to Lenna's; Lenna gets a very slight edge because she applies a 30% buff before the cmd1's 15%, but that is a very minor difference overall (and Penelo's damages on entry, while Lenna's doesn't) and Penelo is better support for the rest of your party. If you have even one mage or another offensive healer on the team, Penelo wins.

She has higher natural mind and her self mind buff is 30% (Penelo's party buff is a weak 15% buff) and stacks with all other mind buffs in the game (Penelo's doesn't stack with other MAG/MND buffs which are all superior to hers). Using Penelo for her buff is like using Lenna's mini-Shout instead of Shout. There are other, better sources of it.
