I thought this U+ CM was gonna be rough because I have no medica for VI and my SBs are mostly junk aside from Shadow and Celes' BSB, but lol between that and an RW'd Cid, she completely melted. No Wall, no Full Break, no medica, no hastega, and only Celes' BSB for stat boosts. My gimpy level 60 Strago was hitting for like 35k per turn.

KataraniSword posted:Hell, if you have any SBs for The Good FF6 characters (read: Celes/Terra/arguably Setzer with his BSB), you don't even need Raines RW against Terra; I did it with Celes (BSB/Indomitable), Terra (Fire Beam/OSB), Setzer (Dive Bomb), Mog (Shared Medica), and Sabin (+30% Boostga SB). With a RW Eblan Doppleganger, of all things. If an en-element/OSB combo counts as any SB, I sure would like to know what you think of as good

idk how people bring poo poo like a level 60 strago to fights like that tho; the combo of the mandatory, fixed 3k ultima immediately followed by an ultimate meltdown (which did 1500-2000 damage to my entire party with moderate/major fire resist through two layers of magic breaks) should flatten any level 60 character from full hp runic? magic blink?

I dunno, basically I'm at the point where I'm clearing every piece of content except the absolute hardest poo poo (soloing apoc raids for example) but I still have absolutely no clue how people do poo poo like bringing five level 65-80 characters to an u+ cm and win without overpowering amounts of realm synergy and ssb+ level breaks on all five people like the numbers don't make sense to me at all, in ways that make me wonder if I don't understand fundamental game mechanics

Remember that synergy bonus is equivalent to 20 levels (I think?). With that setup I posted, I just melted her so fast she didn't even get off Ultimate Meltdown. 2 mages spamming Cid's BSB and Shadow spamming his BSB with reduced delay commands is absolutely disgusting. Honestly I probably would have had half my team eat it if her Ultimate Meltdown went off, but she still would have been at like 5% health or so and I think I could have finished her off with Celes or Shadow afterward anyway. I had shell up and slapped her with a Magic Breakdown, but that was my only mitigation. I put Magic Lure on Celes to eat all the single target stuff, since I had her at lvl 99, and between that, synergy, and her already beefy RES, all of the single target stuff was doing like 600 damage to her, which I could basically ignore. edit: Gearwise, I have pretty good stat sticks for VI, but Shadow's BSB and Celes' BSB were the only ones that I used for this fight. I also have Terra's en-fire and Strago's weird insta-KO USB, but never bothered popping them. I brought an SB-less Relm at lvl 68 for my healer, so it was literally a straight DPS race. Definitely would not have worked if there wasn't a completely broken BSB like Cid's to RW, though. Grizzled Patriarch fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Mar 28, 2017 |

Edge's Eblan Doppleganger is quickly replacing Yuffie's Gauntlet as my second favorite Super. It helps that I needed an FF4 hastega to go with Whisperweed Ballad. Fang's SSB has also been pretty useful, it helped me beat Doomtrain without having to grab Affliction Break. Which I need to do once this event is over, I still have 9 Nightmare dungeons to finish.

It's easy for something like FF6, when there's a large set of characters with important skillsets that are doubled up on (White 4+ and Support/Dancer 5). FF6 also has a wealth of 3* and 4* items that can be reforged for actually good stats. It also helps Terra is pretty easy (relative to other U+ battles) and pretty squishy too. Like, this team around 65 should work fine. No SBs except defaults, although a shared Medica would be nice. Maybe HP+ accessories on Relm? Kefka: Memento Mori//Drainga - Dark damage RM if possible, Devotion if you don't mind RES loss - Raines BSB user Celes: Curaga // Haste - Dr. Mog's for the RES +50% SB Setzer: Full Break // Mental Breakdown - any RM, I went with Gau's ATK +10% + Haste Mog: Magic Breakdance//(Memento of Prayer OR Renewing Cure or Faith if no Memento Mori) - any RM Relm: Curaja/Shellga - Auto-Haste RM for Shellga If you have a shared Medica, there's literally no worries about dying with 3 potential healers. You can shuffle around skills on Celes/Setzer/Mog/Relm, add in Magic Lure on Celes, or even switch Mog out for Terra/Strago and go double Raines BSB to try and burst her down before Ultimate Meltdown. Cid's Missions are like tricky puzzles, but Raines BSB (and upcoming Rapha BSB for Lightning Weak or Holy/Dark resisting bosses) is as close to cutting the Gordian Knot as it gets. Nihilarian posted:Edge's Eblan Doppleganger is quickly replacing Yuffie's Gauntlet as my second favorite Super. It helps that I needed an FF4 hastega to go with Whisperweed Ballad. Eblan Doppleganger is my 3rd FF4 Hastega along Eddie's Song of Swiftness and Porom's Sync. If there's ever an FF4 boss with AoE slow though, I'll be ready. pichupal fucked around with this message at 01:33 on Mar 28, 2017 |

First pull on Phase 2 banner: Apocalypse (Tidus OSB) Tactician Magican's Cuff (Shantotto burst) and a Dupe cresent wish. 2nd Pull: .....a dupe Apocalypse. Well, hopefully Quistis dress will be on the upcoming FF8 event banner. Edit: I mean...I can't complain too much about a 7* Apoc, and Shan " I bless the rain" Toto's burst looks pretty good.

4/22: Dupe Crescent Wish Minfilia SSB Shantotto Burst x2 gently caress you too, Anniversary. I wanted more than half the items on there and didn't get any that I was hoping for. At the very least its synergy gear for this new dungeon wing and I didn't have any XI and XIV items.

3/11: Krile's BSB Exdeath's SSB Zell's SSB I had nothing on this banner at all so I'm satisfied. I'm actually pretty happy I pulled Zell's SSB, I grabbed his BSB during the final Lucky Draw and I think I remember Duelist + Combat King being a pretty nice combo for him

Next guaranteed recurrence of Quistis BSB is in the Squall USB event, which should be about five months from now.

Got a bit of a backlog of pulls to report. First, I did a last minute pull on the Player's Choice banner and got Healer's Circlet! That puts me at 3/3 for amazing healer BSBs (Vanille, Eiko, Y'shtola). Next, Phase 1 banner: 100 gems: Onion Armor! 50 mythril: High Summoner's Robe 50 mythril: Sephiroth's Glove, White Mage Robe (dupe), Orichalcum Dirk (dupe) RNG loves giving me Onion Knight gear, I guess. That last pull was probably ill-advised since I had 4 dupes on the banner, but I really wanted another run at Tyro's USB or the bursts not belonging to Vaan. No such luck, though. Phase 2 banner: 100 gems: Quistis's Dress (dupe) 50 mythril: Enuo's Scourge That's twice now where the only BSB I pull is the one dupe BSB on the banner. On the plus side, I'm getting some nice dark-boosting gear. Here's hoping I pull Cid Raines's BSB from banner 3 for ultimate dark team shenanigans.

I guess since I have Shantotto's Burst it gives me a little more reason to pull on the Onion Knight banner. With Desch BSB and/or Imperil I could probably throw together a Lightning Mage team, and Rapha is coming in the Tactics event as a kind of mini-Raines. I'm thinking: -One pull on OK Banner -One pull on Tactics Banner 1 -Pull too many times on the X event Tidus/Yuna/Auron/etc -Spend mythril until I get Squall BSB and Irvine BSB during the next VIII event And then it's time for Extreme Fest and Cloud USB.

2/11 on Banner 2 Selphie SSB Shantoto BSB O-hohoho A nice enough draw since I mostly pulled just to have some more mage Bursts. I'm tempted by Quistis BSB to do another draw but I'll probably just save my double pull for on of the next two banners.

Thanks to everyone who hyped III banner 2, it's a nicer banner than I thought and I regret my life choices a little less. Went 1/11 on the 2nd anniversary banner, dupe Minfilia shield  Welp guess my luck is gone, though it seems like everyone is having kinda lovely pulls on this one?

Yuna's BSB looks flat-out bad on paper, but I'm sure I'm missing something. Its a good complimentary mage team burst. The healing is a bit lacking but the overall utility (mag/mind 30% buff) and the damage plus healing makes pretty solid. She's a good mage team solo healer or a good summoner/secondary healer.

Even her 3k Ultima ended up not being a threat because she used it right after I used Asylum. I don't think I ever saw her use Ultimate Meltdown, or if she did I didn't notice. * Vaan's BSB makes all magic heavy enemies somewhat easier to deal with.
