Beasteh posted:Just going to quote Well, goodbye PCecil. Worth noting is that upcoming in Japan is a second BSB for Sephiroth that's basically Refia's BSB except better (since the first command can go up to 6 hits if your ATK is high enough, and given it being Sephiroth he can self-buff his ATK like crazy). Also, Cloud BSB2 + the upcoming Cloud USB (10x ST wind/non-ele hits + Crit Rate = 50% for the user + 100% stun + EX mode [boost physical damage and all attacks made ignore the 9999 cap]) sounds like damage heaven. 50% self-crit rate on top of the ridiculous damage output of BSB2's commands with the bonus of those commands now getting to ignore the damage cap means that DeNa has made Cloud great again.

Got two Bloodswords from this banner and pretty little FFVI synergy--probably worth keeping them as separate weapons right? OSB 1 was pretty fruitful for me, got the Mistilteinn from $1 draw, Bloodsword and Thyrus from a 2/11 and feeling a bit lucky, I went for a second 11 draw and got a second Bloodsword and (finally!) a Platinum Sword. Saving the rest of my mythril for OSB5, FFXIV and maybe FFXIII. Also, with the Valwhatever his name is, I beat my first Ultimate! Woot.

Sitting at 230 mythril for reference. If that's what you're worried about, I would keep it in your pants. If you're ever worried about recurrence of good items for main characters, a good rule of thumb is to never be. Terra is Terra, she's a top tier character popularity-wise. While there is no *confirmed* recurrence, it showed up on the Orthros Selection banner during the second anniversary event in JP and that was up to a player vote. Assuming they don't completely change how the anniversary plays out when it hits Global and we get a similar banner, there are two scenarios I can picture: a) we don't get to vote and get the same banner JP got, or b) we get to vote. In the first scenario, we're guaranteed to see Blood Sword on an Anniversary banner. In the second scenario, I can't picture the Global player base not voting in Blood Sword as an option for one of the banner's four OSBs. I'm in a similar boat; I have just a skosh under 300 Mythril, 295 at last count I think, and I have three dupes: Platinum Sword, Minwu Staff, Shura Gloves. I would really like Mistilteinn, Blood Sword or even Abel's Lance or Thyrus but I'm thinking that also having Vanille's SSB means I should hold off. Thyrus will be on the XIV banner in two short days, there will be healer BSBs on both that banner and Banner 3, characters I have nothing for to boot, and Blood Sword will come back around. Abel's Lance is the only real question mark here but I think I can let that one go.

I've already got a healer BSB (Aeris' White Materia), so there's even less a reason for me to chase Blood Sword right now. Maybe I'll drop a pull on Banner 2, instead. Only one dupe, two relics I'd really like, and only one or two I'd be disappointed with. Abel's Lance makes another appearance on the upcoming Cid IV banner, so if it's the only one you're really on the fence about pulling for, you're safe to hold off. No idea how good the other relics on that banner are, though.

Naaah, if I'm pulling on a banner for that event, which I don't think I am, I'm pulling on Banner 1. Pencil OSB to go with my BSB, Rosa BSB if I strike out on grabbing a healer BSB with the Mythril I've earmarked for XIV and Banner 3 and Golbez's groovy tank mage BSB are all more appealing to me. Abel's Lance is only appealing to me in the sense that it's a solid damage BSB on a banner that has other things I want/need more. Come to think of it, I have Rising Drive for Kain already so I'm double not pulling for him specifically.

I'm at an impasse on how to build my team at this point. I have a very solid physical A team with Paladin Cecil (+BSB, +Plat Shield), Kain (+BSB, +lightning shield), Celes (+BSB), Ramza (shout), and Eiko (+BSB). I can dip into the mage meta with Terra's OSB and I know there are some very good mage relics approaching with XIV and XIII but I don't have OK's burst to really seal the deal on that. Celes almost covers that aspect but unfortunately the lack of haste really screws it over. I think my options for my current stash of 100 mythril are: go all in for OK's burst on OSB5, pull on XIV and see what happens, or wait for FFT and add Orlandeau or Agrias bursts for a heavy physical holy team. I also have Stoneskin II and Vanille's BSB which can add some flexibility.

Do you have any other sources of haste (on a mage) you could supplement Celes' BSB with instead of pulling for OK?

So it turns out The Ogre comes with an imperil wind I didn't know about. Welcome to the A-team Zidane. Wind God Cloud needs you  As much as I'd like Greg's BSB, I think I can safely skip the pull on his banner.acumen posted:Kefka and Edea's original SBs, which although come with a minor faith boost are sorta underwhelming choices otherwise. Haste Mage + Y'shtola's Wall + Terror + Celes BSB + Raines' BSB + BSB RW to throw on the haste mage (and potentially Terra) to use when they're not buffing and you've got yourself a mage meta.

Pulled on OSB banner #1 a couple days ago and 1/11 with Vanille's Mistilteinn. Decided to have another go at it and went 2/11. Got another Mistilteinn, but also a Platinum Sword. Finally have a native Shout, and with the whole trinity + boostga I can now construct any team I drat well please and RW whatever.

Thanks this makes sense. Looks like it's FFXIV then since Alph's is almost Cid Raines-tier plus Papalymo's super sheepsong will fill in the haste requirement. Plus all the other fantastic equipment on it.

100-gem: Tin Armor, sweet 5* on the dollar drop, might make a fun team with Vivi's BSB and Terra's Tiara. Maybe I could get Blood Sword while still chasing Shout? 50-mythril: 3/11 Thyrus x 2, Healing Staff, so I guess that gives me options for wall but Tyro is already solidly on my A-team with both SG and his BSB. Mage sticks for FFXIV are fine, they're my first relics for that realm. FFII sucks. 50-mythril: 1/11 Healing Staff, FFII really sucks. Guess I won't be getting fire-goddess Terra to pair with Vivi, but she's still decent with enFire and Chain Firaga. And that's over 800 mythril in search of Platinum Sword. Don't go chasing waterf... er, specific relics.

How hard should I be gunning for Ramza's Shout when I have Quina's Frog Drop and Sazh's Choco Chic for the Attack Portion and Paine's Sword Dance and Zack's Apocalypse for Hastega. I have plenty of Medica's but no wall as well. I pulled 100 mythril on OSB1 but came away with Tin Armor and a useless Healing Staff (already have Word of Kindness for Arc).

Sitting at 230 mythril for reference. Blood Sword does not show up during the next VI event, but it was on the 2nd anniversary festival in Japan (on the Ultros Select banner where everyone got a free 11-draw, no less) and those will be around the same time in global anyway. Your call if you want to wait 3 months for another shot at it, though. Festival banners always change to some degree for global, but the current ones changed much less from JP's than ones in the past and we don't know if we'll get to vote on our own Ultros Select banner or not. I kind of hope so, because there are a couple of things on it I'd rather get replaced.

Festival Banner 4 looks like my preference, with Terra and Pecil USBs looking pretty neat. But then apparently the following VII event is going to have a lot of awesome poo poo.

I have 30 more non-cores to get to level 65. After realizing that I didn't want to have to bother running like 6 white mages through the orb dungeon, I just spent a poo poo ton of eggs getting them to level 65. This gives me decent white mages in every realm. I think I have like 3 more black mages and I'll have that for every realm as well.

Help me FFRK bros you are my only hope... I have 2 MC3's (My first 2 besides OK) and I don't know what to do with them and I really don't want to make a costly mistake. I recently aquired Squalls Punishment OSB so I was leaning towards making him one of my first MC3 dudes but I'm just not sure. Right now I have, Lock's Thief's Knife BSB Clouds Razzmatazz BSB Luneth's Gungnir BSB Aerith's Wizer Rod BSB Hope's Ninurta BSB Refia's Gloves BSB ( just got them woo) I also have supers for a poo poo load of dudes but my main candidates would be Cloud ( with his shout) Argias Maybe Garnet because I have her Rod. So I'm kinda stuck because I just don't want to gently caress this up ( I know I"ll get more but these drat things are rare for me right now) Anyone have any thoughts?

KataraniSword posted:As other goons have said, Orbfest is a rare, incredibly helpful opportunity. Skills and their hones matter just as much as equipment if not moreso after a certain point, so by drowning yourself in 3*/4* orbs, you'll get a solid hand up to making the abilities you need once you can't just autobattle through every stage. Well I got myself squared away to be able to complete orbfest levels - realizing that 'burst mode' wandering dudes let me kill an entire battles worth of mobs means I can save everything for the final stage, which has made even the 60 stamina events easy enough. Had to spend a mithril to try to complete each 60 stamina run but it was worth it since I got it back in the end :-) sitting at 55 stamina and 72 mithril, should I focus the mithril on stamina refills for orbfest while I can or just continue building up more relics? I'm definetly going to do the single pulls and the first time bonus on everything, but not sure where to spend after that. Maybe do 11 pull on the new overload later today? 5 Star weapons are: Zantetsuken (vi), Gold Sword (vii), Thyrus+ (xiv), x2 healing staff (ii). 5 star armors are: Golden Hairping (ix), Keepsake Ribbon (vii), Tiara (vi), x2 tin armor (ix). 5 star access: Locke Bandana, Cloud Goggles

You'll be getting another one for free as a login bonus this weekend; I'd use that one on Refia or Tidus, but your other BSB havers wouldn't be wrong. The only other really major notable RM that you might want to actually chase is Cloud who has the +30% sword damage materia - but it's not worth not level breaking someone who is gonna be on your a team and help you get more memory crystals.

I have plenty of Medica's but no wall as well. It's mostly gauge-efficient since you get your Boostga and Hastega on a single SB. If you had OK BSB I'd definitely say you don't need Shout, but as it stands, your choices are to give Mako Might and Dr. Mog's to your seperate Hastega and Boostga, or to go without one or the other for a few rounds - a bit problematic in the case of your Support Boostgas since neither of them want to waste a slot on Wrath (and can't use Lifesiphon).

It definitely gives me a plan forward I'm actually going to suggest in the other direction and say NOT to use it on Squall. OSBs, without a paired way to get an En-element buff, are good but not great. I think BSBs are more overall useful and will help you more. I'd say to use one on Luneth because his BSB and his 99 RM are good, and use the other one on Aerith or Refia. Having extra survivability on your white mage is not a bad idea, and Refia's BSB is really strong (and if you don't have synergy weapons for her in all realms the extra stats will help her stay useful).
