3/11. 2x dupe Crescent Wish (welp, I have another 8* MND rod now) and Zell's SSB gloves. I already have his BSB so yay for +10 ATK? At least it wasn't a 100% dupe fest, but I could have done a lot better with that pull.

Made an 11 draw on banner two for a chance at Faris USB and the fact it has no dupes for me, Got three copies of Quistis's burst. This makes 3 8* armors for me, and another mage burst, nice.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Still tempted to pull on this for a last shot at Tidus' OSB, but the rest of the banner looks solidly meh. Yuna's BSB looks flat-out bad on paper, but I'm sure I'm missing something. It's not going to heal as well as other healer BSBs, but that's kind of offset by a Faithga that stacks with Sheepsong (I think?) and the ability to deal damage while throwing out medicas

Went 3/11 and got Crystal Glove, Enuo's Scourge, and Crescent Wish, and then my 100-gem pull got me a second Crescent Wish. Not great, but none of them were dupes so it's all more synergy at least. And between this and Squall's enspell/OSB combo I should definitely have the juice to do Mote Ifrit CM now.

 This was a pretty good pull, though I'm still waiting for Exdeath's MC3 so he's not just waiting at 80 like he's been for the past 6 months. (Apparently that's next event, but still!)  After this I'll probably pull on 3 and either 4 or 5, dunno which. (I have 2 dupes on each, so  ) I'd have liked Faris' USB because it's a pentabreak and looks snazzy, but I have no room to really complain per se.

Zurai posted:Wat? I feel like I need to see it in action, because the idea of having to prime the pump with command 1 before either command actually does anything sounds super clunky, especially if you need a clutch heal and have to wait a whole extra turn. Like does her command 1 actually deal enough damage to make up for having to spend a turn charging it up? The other thing is I think I am probably undervaluing the faithga / hastega part because I can already run OK's BSB and / or Papalymo's Ley Lines on my mage team, so she'd be in kind of a weird spot where she's competing with Y'Shtola / Vanille's BSBs for healing, and Alphinaud / Maria's BSBs for damage, and it seems like she'd end up being a jack-of-all trades slot that wouldn't really fit. I could just totally be underestimating it though, there are definitely SBs that I thought looked really bad or mediocre until I actually tried them.

Using Command 1 just adds half a Valefor to command 2. Command 2 doesn't use up the charge either, so you can just heal the party and do damage until Burst runs out.

It's an efficiency thing, a jack-of-all-trades. Yuna BSB2 isn't good because it's the best healing or the best damage out there, but because it's healing + support + damage all in one everything bagel.

If you use it again, you burn the charge and do a 3 hit summon for some decent damage. If you use command 2 after using command 1, you do a medica heal and a single summon hit on mobs. If you're in a pinch and just need a medica you can spam command 2.

I double checked the spreadsheet of future banners and I don't see Yuna BSB2 anywhere. But I whiffed twice pulling on the banner and I probably shouldn't do anything rash like gem pulls. You can get FFX and FFX-2 together on the PS4 for $20. A gem pull is $30.

6/22, no dupes, with Faris USB Shantotto BSB Krile BSB Quistis BSB Dreamstage Exdeath SSB Was really looking for Tidus OSB since I pulled both Tidus and Rikku's BSB in the half-price draws last week, but can't complain about that haul. The past couple weeks have been nuts for my power level. Started with 5 or so BSBs and am up to 15 USB/OSB/BSBs. It's getting to the point where I can't keep track of what every drat thing does when building a team.

Went 1/11 on Banner 2, but that 1 was Shantotto's BSB. After seeing it in action, I am good with this result. Since that takes a major player out of Banner 2, I'll hold off on drawing again. Now just gonna pull on 3 and 5. If I come away with decent stuff on each, that'll leave me some mithril for upcoming banners.

The Yuna BSB2 talk killed my self control and I made a second pull. 2/11, Yuna BSB2 and Faris' USB. gently caress yeah I will take that  That USB seems utterly ridiculous, AoE stun + AoE penta with a side of damage is just bonkers. I immediately spent motes getting her dancer 5* so she's now an AoE break machine.

I have so many dudes I'm trying to level right now. Onion Knight is only like 80 so he's still useless, but won't stop stealing all my growth eggs Leon and Rufus for my Physical Dark/Dark Knight team Emperor (58/80) and Raijin (67/80) for the Nemesis fight Locke, since I have his SSB/BSB/OSB now and why not, he can join my holy team with an extra ATK/MAG mug And I feel obligated to start boosting Shantotto up now. I'm probably not pulling again for a while, so I wonder if I should switch gears and swap off of grinding mythril from half-stamina dungeons, and just keep running Orbfest for XP. My stamina is only 140 now though, so theres still a lot of mythril and stamina I should probably grab.

I need banner advice. I only just started about a week ago. After doing the half off lucky draws I've got a handful of relics and have so far stockpiled about 200 myth for these upcoming banners. I'm just not sure which banners I should pull. Here are the SB relics I have (italiacs means I have the character) OSBs - Squall BSBs - Cecilk(DRK), Maria, Y'Shtola, Refia SSBs - Ramza, O.Knight, Selphie, Braska, Sarah, Locke, Gaffgarion Currently my team is Shtola, Ramza, Cloud, Maria, and Refia (all nearly level 50), but so far I haven't really done anything except brute force my way through realm dungeons and events/orbfest. I've reached a point however where I think its time to start to think harder about team setup. The fact that I have Ramza's shout means I am probably going to be making a physical based team for the future. Thus, despite having Maria's BSB (which I'm told is kickass, and does seem so) I was thinking of swapping out Maria for another physical character. Possibly picking up Squall so I'd have a native OSB to kill poo poo hard with. However I'm waiting to commit major resources (creating/honing abilities, level break crystals, souls etc) until I make some pulls just in case I get anything good. At a glance it seems like several Banner 4 pulls would be good, and maybe one or so on Banner 3. I dunno though! I'm tempted to pull on Banner 2 and hope for Shantotto cause she's a favorite, but don't chase individual relics and I can always try during the FFXI event/banner in the future (plus she's a mage and Shout is leaning me towards Phys).

Robotic Accolade posted:1/11 on banner 2, I got Exdeath's SSB. Whoopdy gently caress do, I guess it might be a marginal improvement for my Mage team that I never use. Oh well, time to stock up for banner 4. Same Although I shouldn't complain about a Mag buff that stacks with other buffs, especially since I'm kinda lacking in those. But if I put him in a mage party I've already got Grand Cross competing for SB bars, since I never considered the idea of popping Grand Cross to restore Meltdown uses. That and no MC3, but that comes in the next event? Ok then. The sad thing is I really wanted Tidus's OSB because I already have Rikku's imperil water BSB, but I'm not sure I want to do another pull on this.

It's so hard not pull on this just for Tidus' OSB and Shantoto's BSB. The rest I could mostly take or leave. But I only have enough for 3 pulls and I really want a decent shot at Cid, Golbez, and Refia's BSBs on Banner 3. I think I need to stay strong. I wish this wasn't the last time so many of these relics were showing up for the foreseeable future.

Banner 4 is generally considered pretty strong, so that's a good option for you, if you want melee. The FFT gear is all excellent, Hamelin is a good medica for a physical team (though you already have Y'shtolas available, which might be better). Banner 2 is also nice, but that's definitely more caster focused. Banner 3 would also has a bit of a caster emphasis on the Burst soul breaks, and you already have Refia's excellent Burst from it.

Mithross posted:I just noticed Beatrix is getting an OSB. How does it stand up? She's a pretty regular part of my physical holy team for her BSB imperil. Pretty standard gimmick OSB; gets stronger when she uses more Knight abilities. Her BSB commands count as Knight abilities, so it works really well as a fight ender if you have that. Holy/NE, so the Imperil helps it, too. I'd rank it better than Celes's but worse than Agrias's.

Beatrix's OSB's build-up is frontloaded, so it's not very difficult for her to break even or better on her OSB (I believe it breaks even after five Knight abilities). The sword itself is pretty decent - 90+ MND fully upgraded, which isn't bad.

Well I finally did it goons, after a couple of days messing around with setups I ended up cribbing a team from the leaderboards and beating Nemesis: Infinite (my original team had Fujin over Quistis but it turns out OSBs are more important for making the last phase as quick as possible)  SBS used: Tyro Wall/USB, Quistis BSB/OSB, Edge SSB, Vanille BSB, Relm BSB RW: Alph SSB Glad that's over is all I'm saying

That's an awesome team. I feel like I'm 1 or 2 proper pieces away from being able to do this. But then again, most of my guys are sub level 80 so maybe not. It also doesn't help that my best Nemesis relics are mostly in XIV.
