Lemme see, Dupes Banner 1: Arc SSB (Instant Curaga Medica + Physical Blink) Banner 2: Quistis BSB Selphie SSB (Curaga Medica + Magical Blink) Banner 3: Krile SSB (+30% MAG, Hastega + High Regen) Banner 4: Agrias BSB Alphinaud BSB Ramza SSB (Stoneskin: 30%, +50% Critical Damage to party) Alphinaud SSB (+30% ATK/MAG + Radiant Shield to party) Banner 5: Y'shtola SSB (Protectga, Shellga + High Regen to party) Papalymo SSB (+30% MAG, Hastega + Quick Magical Cast 3 to party) So, 2 pulls on banner 1 for loving sure. All of the BSB+ are really good, and the non-dupe SSBs all fill nice niches for me. Skipping the uninteresting banner 2 since I have quistis BSB, 1 pull on 3, maaaaybe a pull on 4 to hope to thread a needle despite dupes cause all those OSBs make me drool, and certainly a pull on 5 and just pray no Ysh'tola or Papalymo/11.

Ingus's BSB makes him incredibly useful in Torment fights. Even if you're not hitting weaknesses, the En-Earth gives a nice damage boost, the ATK/DEF boost stacks with Shout and VoF, and the BSB itself is good AoE for clearing trash or whittling down boss fights with multiple targets. The first command is basically Gaia Cross with Magic Lure stapled to it (without the RES boost, so you might want to equip the actual Magic Lure ability in a ST magic heavy fight), and the second command is a two-hit move that also gives you Retaliate. This turns Ingus into a super tank that is really good at avoiding damage while clearing trash mobs, and since he's going to be targeted nonstop in Torment fights, once he gets going you'll never be in a situation where you don't have an SB gauge full by the time Burst Mode wears off. Also, since 99% of his actions in a Torment fight are going to be his BSB or his commands, you can stick Protectga or Shellga into his ability slots. Ingus owns.

For those who don't know the effects by memory, I added them (basically for myself because I only know the ones I have)Hogama posted:Banner 1: And I think I'm gonna pull once on 1 and twice on 2 and 3. I really want TG Cid OSB but I have 5 dupes from that banner so I'm not gonna risk it and Banner 5 doesn't seem that great when you already have Vanille BSB and Eiko BSB. I do need a Dark SB though, I don't have a single one, so if I don't get one from above I might rage pull this one for Jechts, even though that's probably a bad idea. bilperkins2 fucked around with this message at 19:17 on Mar 23, 2017 |

Dupes: 1: Kain BSB, Vaan BSB, Arc SSB 2: Yuna BSB2, Minfilia SSB 3: None 4: Orlandeau OSB, Eiko BSB 5: Vanille BSB, Luneth BSB, Yoshicola SSB Well obviously I'm pulling on banner 3, there doesn't seem to be much hype for it but I'll gladly take another chance at Raines BSB (Refia BSB would be neat too, and I still don't have Sheepsong and badly need more forms of Hastega). I'm not sure what else to chase here, maybe I'll just do 1 pull on each banner and leave it at that. Taking into account the bonus 50 mythril dungeon and other sources of mythril (I'm not doing the Record Missions until phase 5), I should theoretically have enough for 9 pulls altogether but I don't want to blow it all on this...

Ok so I have 165 mythril at the moment because Ive been kinda burnt out and inactive just logging in to collect daily rewards... Which of the banners is the best to pull on ? I have a enholy team of firion beatrix minfilia w terra and y'shtola just cause they have good relics if it matters. I dont have any overstrike weapons... Im tempted to pull and try and get firions right now but I know I wont in 3 tries... should I wait for tg cids overstrike banner since hes supposed to be stupidly powerful and I can just ditch enholy and bring back cloud and his burst sword and just overpower stuff?

Too many dupes on 4 and 5 for me, 1 and 3 look great. I really want Tidus' OSB, but nothing else on 2 looks particularly amazing to me, so I dunno if I'll end up pulling on it or not.

Hi posted:Which of the banners is the best to pull on ? I have a enholy team of firion beatrix minfilia w terra and y'shtola just cause they have good relics if it matters. Go for Banner 4. Agrias's BSB is a straight upgrade to Beatrix's, and both Agrias and Orlandu OSBs would be a huge boost.

I really want Tidus' OSB, but nothing else on 2 looks particularly amazing to me, so I dunno if I'll end up pulling on it or not. The main draw of Banner 2 is that Shantotto actually goes "OHOHOHO" in the BSB. On a less important note, while every Banner has some sort of Faithga, this one has 2 with Yuna's BSB and Exdeath's SSB. Faris's USB isn't amazing (relative to some upcoming offensive USBs), but if you don't have a lot of stackable breaks, it's a pretty great AoE debuff on someone who can dive for Dancer 5.

I may have to take a few extra swings at the Ultros Banner. I missed out on Onion Gauntlets and Healer's Circlet the first time and they're basically top of my wishlist.

I've made my mind up on 4 out of 5 of the fest banners. Banners 1 and 4 are definite pulls for me, 3 is a probable and 5 I'll probably pass on. Banner 2 is the giving me pause. I'd love any of the three mage BSBs, and two shots at MAG/MND Faithgas would be nice, but on the other hand there are two dupes (Minfilia and Selphie SSB), Zell's relic on it will probably never see use and Yuna's BSB seems kind of awkward and not particularly appealing outside of the Faithga. I'll probably avoid spending any Mythril on the Ultros Banner unless I completely bomb the free pull.

Prav posted:i've still not come to terms with the loving onion sword being on there Yeah. It's like nonstop drooling for the first 8 relics, then the last 3 are dupes with onion sword not being that great in the first place. It's solid but it doesn't really make OK worth bringing the same way Ramza's shout does, and typically I want utility from support like Shout/Wall more than damage.

Went 3/11 on a Lucky Draw again which is nice, but again 2/3 were dupes (Terra Circlet and Balthier's armor) so the only real prize was Maria's BSB. That ain't bad for 25 mythril, though. Debating on whether to combine Balthier's Heart of Golds into one super good light armor or keeping them separate for a pair of fire-boost armors.

If you're good on FF6 armor, combine them and it'll do some good in other realms.

Looks like I'll be doing a pull on 2 and two pulls on 3, and then saving the rest for whatever. I should probably evaluate my currents relics and see where any gaps are, but reckless waifu/husbando/that-looks-cool pullin' is way more fun

Man, I've love to get Eiko's USB, but the banner's poo poo for me aside from that. I think I'm planning for 1-3 pulls on banner 1 and 1-3 on banner 3 and calling it for the fests. For those of you with only SSB dupes on any given banner, I wouldn't really factor those into your planning. It's mainly a big deal if you already have one of the big ticket prizes like a BSB or OSB. Generally only getting an SSB after a pull here would probably be disappointing regardless of dupe.

Unless I get really lucky in the Always Burst Banner, I'll budget a pull in both Banner 1 and Banner 3: I may have a dupe on each one (Arc's Robe in 1, Sheepsong in 3), but it's easy for me to chase them away and be pleased with the rest of their relic selections (especially those Bursts)...

I'm actually kind of considering pulling on Ultros beyond the free pull. The two things I need are more single-target OSBs (and base 6* weaponry) and a crazy healer SB so I can justify 99ing a specific healer (right now I just bounce between like six healers depending on realm and boss abilities because none of them have outstanding SBs, just mid-tier unique and SSB medicas). Terra, Cloud, and Lightning all have great stats for me because I have most of their other relics, and there's two actual healing BSBs on it (including Yshtola) so uhh... don't have a runic, either, if Celes's SSB includes that. Weird feel bc it didn't seem like many other people cared much about that banner.

wizard on a water slide posted:I'm actually kind of considering pulling on Ultros beyond the free pull. It seems like a combination of: lots of chase relics that people have pulled repeatedly for, so more dupes most of the relics on it have been featured in several banners already, so more likely to have dupes you get a free pull, so there's another likely dupe before you're spending mythril Meanwhile the other anniversary banners are also pretty uniformly amazing, and feature relics that haven't been around as much.

Yeah, that makes sense. It just seems like a surprisingly good banner for me, and better or fewer dupes than like 3/5 festival banners. People on the subreddit seemed to hate it. I guess a lot of people chased stuff like Cloud/Terra OSBs and Onion Gauntlets, so me not having done so/not having gotten them pays off now. Huh.

It's mainly a big deal if you already have one of the big ticket prizes like a BSB or OSB. Generally only getting an SSB after a pull here would probably be disappointing regardless of dupe. I'm not so sure. Ssbs are still weighted twice as heavily as bsb+, so even though they only make up 40% of the banner they'll still account for almost 60% of the relics drawn. If your point of view is that any pull without bsb+ is a whiff, that's fair, but that's still gonna make up about a third of 11 pulls. Having one dupe bsb+ is half as likely to bite you as having a dupe ssb. Edit: As someone who started in January and has no dupes, I'm definitely looking for some things on the selection banner. I don't have any haste/boostgas, and having the two premier ones on one banner with a number of first class consolation prizes is too big to pass up. way to go steve fucked around with this message at 23:47 on Mar 23, 2017 |

Anyone who wants to pull on a banner for an osb just to have an osb should pull on a dagger, or a rod. As far as I know, all osb's have the same max stat. My rod and dagger caps out at 186 without synergy, fully augmented. Having an osb dagger means you can always field one more character with packing equipment options no matter the realm, as well as capitalize on the new thief 5* abilities. And hey, locke's osb dagger has holy boost to it, that's nuts! Having an osb rod will mean you have a sub-par synergy level weapon for every mage (that can use rods I guess). Need to field 2 mages, but only have a single magic stat stick? It's the same magic as a mind focused sage staff with synergy!
