Hogama posted:The announcement also promised changes to other 6* abilities, and new 6* abilities. Probably Crushdown, Reraise, and Quadruple Foul will get buffed since Crushdown barely gets used and Reraise and QF are probably the two least-used abilities in the game, for good reason. I could see them tweaking some of the weaker mote 6* skills like Penalty Snipe too (hey guys did you remember Penalty Snipe exists?  )It will be cool to see if they add a 6* Dance, but the new ability schools like Sharpshooter and Witch are so blah I don't even know what they could give them that wouldn't be boring as hell.

8 hits on an attack you can hone, and that gets stronger if you're hasted?  Suddenly Dervish has a lot more potential than it had at first.

Missed out on the Cid Mission due to not having a medica on Aerith, and couldn't quite get through U++, which is disappointing considering how much mythril I wasted on the two banners.  I've got a good physical team at least now, and after the anniversary I can afford to be a bit choosier on banners.

Got hype, stayed hype, pulled on the second banner for Cid's Metamorphoses Claws 3/11. Howling Blade, Cid's Gloves, and Meteorblaze. Not bad for booby prizes

only duplicate on the banner was noel's burst soul break and i was sitting on a bunch of mythril so i rolled the dice. got cid's burst and super (and noel's super) making him not only solidly on my a-team but also my first owner of any native team magic boost whatsoever. edit: wait that's a lie i forgot i had alphinaud with both deployment tactics and air blast Cowcaster fucked around with this message at 03:55 on Mar 13, 2017 |

I was sitting on 102 mythril, so I said "gently caress it, go for CID RAINES". Got Serah's Meteorblaze. Which I'll take. Just... need someone that'd benefit from them.

I'm at almost 200 (over 200 with the 9 I'm missing from the weekend giveaway I didn't get), and I really could use a 13 medica and wouldn't mind the Raines burst, but I'm going to wait until we get the anniversary data mine to decide to draw on either (and probably attempt the Cid Mission unless I find it easy with a normal team)

I'm sitting at just over 300 mithril. That Cid BSB is tempting, but not really liking the rest of the banner. I've learned never to chase one relic.

Wow, second straight 5* off 100 gem. Banner 1 - Flamberge Banner 2 - Raine's SSB I'm at 102 myth so not really feeling I should throw half my wad at it with anniversary coming up soon, even if I like most of the stuff on this banner.

Caved because I wanted the Raines BSB, ended up with two of Raines's SSB's (both dupes) and Vanille's USB, which I feel like is still a strong pull. Part of me is just happy for the +10 stat bump on my best healer; am I overestimating how much that's worth?

Well, luckily, I pulled 2 copies of Cids BSB on the last banner it was up, so I haven't pulled on anything since. I wanted to pull on FF*, since it's my favorite, but eh, Mythril isn't going anywhere, and I'll be pulling soon anyway.

I'm at 105 and holding off on my husbando Balthier and Aeris's USB was loving killing me Bring on the Lucky Draws before I crack please I have no idea how the hell the people with 500 - or 1000+ - mythril hold out. Surely they're making some cash pulls.

I've never got anything from a 100gem pull. What are the odds on that anyway? I'm looking forward to the next Tactics event, and later its going to be hell with X, IV, VIII all coming in a row with poo poo I want. I also kind of feel like pulling on the III banners if mythril permits. I kind of doubt I'll have anything left to spend on a Cloud USB.

Oh, and this is a weird sentiment, but does anybody else kind of like how big the item pools are on stuff like the Combat Lucky? Even if it means there's more stuff you don't want in the pool, if you're already clearing endgame content it's really not a big deal and it makes it possible to be pleasantly surprised by an unexpected get that immediately makes a weird character you like viable. By contrast, I'm mostly just disappointed by not getting the one or two things I actually want on smaller pool banners, even if the "average" pull may be better.

Which is to say it's currently... a 13% chance? 14%? at a 5* or higher. Somewhere around there. Less than 15% but more than 12%.

Pulled on Banner 2 for Cid's BSB, and I get... 3 copies of Noel's SSB sword and 2 copies of Snow's SSB fists. Thanks game  Lately I've gotten many pulls like this. Apparently the gacha thinks I need 5 of Ovelia's staff.

Hope's bsb has a self faith that stacks with most other faith buffs. Serah's ssb is a faithga that also stacks with nearly everything (mag/mind is pretty rare) and a hastega. Vanille's usb is nice if only because recent challenging fights have mostly been challenging due to debuffs. So four relics I'd be pulling for, including metamorphosis.

Oh, there's definitely nice stuff. Just nothing too worth it given what I already have, apart from Cid BSB. That's the only item that'd be a large enough upgrade to warrant mithril this close to anniversary banners in my situation.

I did 3 pulls on banner 2 cause I wanted cid's bsb, got it on the third pull so I should be golden now. I still have about 75 mythril left to hang on to. I also ended up with noel's bsb and ssb, and 2 flamberges that i combined and a dupe snow ssb that i also combined. Not bad really considering 2 bsbs one of which I've been chasing for a few banners.

Now that I look at it, lightning's second ssb is really sweet. 8 aoe attacks of lightning and non-elemental, with enlightning ontop of that. It's a straight up upgrade from her original ssb, which was pretty solid to begin with.

it's a real edge-case theory-crafting spreadsheet-calcuation of a question but i figure that that's exactly the right kind of question to ask on an internet forum for videogames: is it better to go "apply weakness" soul break -> "boost element" soul break or vice versa? I.e. I've got Agrias' burst soul break that makes an enemy holy weak and her new super that gives her holy boost. is there any real difference in effect depending on the order i use them? (it's even more of a moot point because i've also got cleansing strike so excess soul meter is usually going towards that anyway)

It's better to go to Enelement before Imperil, assuming you don't have any other characters that are making use of that element. Enelements give SBs of that element +80% damage, which is much more than the +20% Imperils give.

Do Enelements remain in effect for an entire fight or do they fall off at any point?

You can see the enelement effect on the hero that cast it. For instance the ice one creates a big ice crystal around the character, and enlightening creates a glowing electric circle around the hero. When that fades then the enelement has worn off.

3 11x pulls on the banner 4/11 first one, 2 howling souls, 2 Raine's glove 1/11 Flamberge (Seriously only missing Lightnings OSB at this point and I have never gone out of my way relic hunting for her) 2/11 Hope's Glove, Raine's glove, sure whatever. Hope can have a spot on my mage team. 100 gem pull was Battle Standard Apparently I'm supposed to get all the gloves, but no claws.
