Doesn't work; Leon's TM is for regular swords, excalibur is a great sword. I think Enhancer is the best non-tm sword available right now (although type-0 event one may be better if it isn't character specific).

Drop excalibur for the moonblade(?) then. Or keep excalibur and drop leon's TM for another shine TM or power of creation.

Burned a bunch of tickets to get a Leon, got no Leon, got an Olive. Can now form the BE electric company with a 3x Lightning + Olive party (whenever I get Sparky). Easy time to level her up too with maze + dunes weekend + King Mog gigantaurs. Time to rearrange the TM squad to get her and Butz in.

Also friendly reminder for the rare mob that Steal is a friend unit materia so it shouldn't be too hard to grind out 2-3 of them for your best guys if you haven't already done so.

I think you're thinking of Pilfer. Steal is crafted.

Doesn't Pilfer do damage?

From what I'm seeing Nimbus will be like the Duplicorn, where not doing damage gets you ignored, so straight stealing seems like the safer option...

Orlando isn't coming out for awhile, imo.
I think that Gumi knows that he was way too overpowered for the time he came out in Japan and since they don't want to nerf him, they are waiting until he is less gamebreaking. I'm betting on late March.

Or better yet, steal from it and THEN kill it for double goodies!

And I'm pretty sure Pilfer doesn't do damage, but it also doesn't steal anything except gil, so no don't use that

Guide is up based on the Japanese version. We don't know if the bonus Nimbus enemy is worth trying to kill yet. You get a poo poo ton of event currency if you pull it off but it will take a huge whale team to do so unless they nerf it for global. You have three turns to kill it before it runs away and it will kill two of your party each turn if you attack it. Otherwise you are supposed to steal from it for three turns then it runs away, so get that steal materia crafted and stick it on your bonus units.

Unless he has zero defense and spirit, how in the hell are you supposed to possibly kill Nimbus? 10 million HP and he runs after 3 turns, whereas the Captain in the Dreadnought had around a 10th of that and you had to bring MP recovery items to outlast him.

Captain also had super high def AND physical resist. Also I think someone said Nimbus only has 600k hp for GL

Orlandu is never coming out. It's holiday units forever. The following is the future banner list:
April fools banner
Mothers day banner
Springtime banner
May day banner
Memorial day banner
Father's day banner
Independence day banner

Orlandu would be late early/mid May at best if that happens. Tidus and Rikku in June, and Veritas/OK over the summer if not early fall.

I'm sitting on a giant pile of tickets and 25k lapis. Just let me do my ton of pulls for 0 Orlandus, Gumi. :arghfist::saddowns:
