Elephant Ambush posted:What' the deal with Eiko? I see people complaining about her on other sites as well. Her MC3 came in a crossover event in Japan that we never got in global and they never gave another way to get it. She has a healer BSB which I think is still top tier (?) but her HP pool is very low and being stuck at 80 while content gets progressively harder is not great.

On the bright side, you Cait Sith lovers get to have his record spheres unlocked in the Rufus event. They're slowly figuring out how to get this content back to us.

And pulled. 3/11: Red Scorpion, Exeter, and Edea's Faithga/Hastega. Kinda wanted a BSB but I guess I'll take it. Maybe make a mage team while I'm at it.

In general, how many turns do I have before I need to refresh buffs like protectga? Let's say as a rule of thumb.

They have a base duration of 35 seconds and that duration is extended by the caster's Mind stat. Also, protect and shell actually have visual indicators (yellow and green pulsing glows to the characters).

As a good rule of thumb, I generally refresh my proshellgas when Y'shtola pops Asylum, since that stoneskin means she has a functionally useless turn anyway unless the boss is really making GBS threads out damage or wall has worn out. For someone not in my "BSB but not wall" situation, refreshing proshellga after you refresh your second RW wall (assuming you don't have it native) or third native wall is likely to keep you going through the entire fight.

I've definitely had a lot of fights that last a lot longer than 44 seconds, and I'm asking because I've lost a lot of fights because my defensive buffs wore off at a bad time, sooooo

It's a good, lazy way to make sure mitigation never lapses

It's like the game knew I was starting to lose interest. Haven't been doing all the content and skipped a few U++ battles, and I'm still behind on even attempting Torment despite probably being equipped for them. Today I did 2 100 gem pulls, Fujin BSB and Quistis OSB. drat game keeps drawing me back in.

So you might have to try a different emulator or just put up with it until it (hopefully) fixes itself.

it was nice of them to give a poison vulnerability to the committee since hail to the queen RW pretty much ensures 2x9999 attacks every round on all three of them

Soloing the Bahamut Battle U+ was fun. It's crazy how much damage everyone was doing after the combination of Mug Bloodlust, Ark Blast, and Mist Overload. I dunno if I can do the same thing for Apocalypse, but I'm tempted to try. I also beat Squall fairly handily, though doing Draw & Junction as a counter was kind of annoying, undoing all the breaks and such. The Committee might be too hard for me, but I'll at least give it the ol' college try when I get there. But that'll be for later. I also cleared all the normal-difficulty dungeons (plus the FF11 elites) and got up to 179 stamina, and will probably wrap up my business with the other Elites tomorrow. Then it's Nightmare time and time to see if I can grab and utilize Omega Drive.

Is it just me, or is the "Select Nightmare Relic Draw" pretty awful? Everything on it is outdated to some degree or another in a really weird contrast with the more standard Omega Drive banner.

Ended up soloing Bahamut Apoc because of connection issues - whether they were mine or other people's I'm not sure. It wasn't so bad once I realized all of Bahamut's attacks ignore defenses and I stopped using SG in favor of Keeper's Tome and its magic blink. Only lost Setzer due to bad timing, but he was only my breakdown bitch so whatever. Quistis and Edea did all the heavy lifting. Edit: also CM down because jfc Quistis and Edea are death machines.

4/11 on Banner 2  Quistis's Dress - not Doomtrain, but not a booby prize either, seems pretty drat solid Crescent Wish - never mad about a Mblink Sorceress Gown - my first imperil dark, just opened up a new team type Sorceress Crown - meh, maybe good as CM

I really wanted something for Edea to join my Dark Mage team but all I ended up with was Crescent Wish/11. And honestly I'm pretty okay with that, now I just need to get Selphie and I should have a perfectly capable and outfitted FF8 team. Saving up for the Anniversary is painful. So many things I want to pull on.

What's the context behind Doomtrain, anyway? I've never played FF8, and I don't recall anything relevant from plot summaries or long-ago screenshot LPs.

It's a spooky ghost train that you can summon to inflict a bunch of status effects. That;s about it.

I keep hoping they'll actually add Doomtrain as a summon, would be cool to have a source of Poison damage for summoners. Also I want them to add Eden, and I want the animation to take so long that all your buffs wear off before it finishes. (Actually I was meaning to ask about that - do timers pause while SB animations are going? Some of them are pretty lengthy)

Timers pause yes, but jump time doesn't.

ApplesandOranges posted:Timers pause yes, but jump time doesn't. Note that this can be exploited with jump abilities that have long airtime. Airtime count down speed follows the battle speed setting, but animations always play at the same speed. Thus, you can cheese airtimes by setting speed to 5 just before an animation plays, then back down to 1 (or whatever you play at) once the animation finishes, and airtime will have counted down a bunch more than if you had left battle speed at a low setting.

Since I have Kain's bsb, I might as well hone sky high. I've tried the whole r1 approach of lightning dive, and it sucks rear end. But with 4 uses I can spend less time charging during my bsb and more time jumping. Sky high should be the same! Though it'll still be the last 6* I hone, so I have time to think about it.

With Kain's BSB, Lightning Dive will outdamage Sky High significantly. Not only does it get the element boost, but Sky High is only roughly equal power to begin with unless you have multiple 'goons playing jump patrol.
