I only ended up doing 2 pulls on the actual banners lol. Maybe I should have gone for banner 2 or 3 after all. including the lucky draws and the free draw I went 9/66, with 6 new relics. Medica Lucky 1/11: Healer's Circlet (XIV) Enelement Lucky 1/11: dupe Tiara (VI) Burst Lucky 1/11: Excalibur (T) Free Draw 1/11: Onion Sword (III) Banner 1 3/11: dupe Orichalcum Dirk (XII), two Red Jackets (IV) Banner 4 2/11: Veil of Wiyu (XIV), Eternal Staff (III) Pretty good overall. Getting both the Onion SSBs makes the question of where to pull on the FFIII event more interesting

Looking for some feedback before I try my hand at Nemesis Party so far is: Onion Knight w/ BSB Terra w/ OSB + Wrath and Bahamut Y'shtola w/ Stoneskin and Asylum Vanille w/ BSB Debuff Flex Slot Candidates for that final slot are Faris w/ BSB, Vaan w/ BSB, or Penelo w/ BSB if I don't want to proc any counters I don't have any native Last Stand or Radiant Shield, so that's my major weak spot. I gather that last stand is more important, but even so I'm unsure if Terra alone can dish out 200k while he's blasting for 99999 every turn

So having just come back during this event having not played since sooned after launch I've done a fair few pulls with the mythril I apparently saved up. I'm a little unsure exactly what characters I would be best to use at this point having got the following Soul Breaks, which kind of party should I look at, and what relics should I keep any eye out for in future? Also should I combine the ones I got dupes of or keep them separate so I can have more synergy bonuses going at the same time? Onion Knight OSB and SSB Ashe OSB Sephiroth OSB Cid Raines BSB (x2) Luneth BSB (x2) Garnet BSB Vanille BSB Noel SSB Yuna SSB (x2) Garland SSB Laguna SSB Alphinaud SSB Arc SSB Papalymo SSB My party is current mid 30s-40 working through the realm dungeons to get more stamina at the moment if it matters.

Lessee... Lucky (Healer) - 1/11 - Larsa's Cloud Staff (XII) Lucky (En-Element) - 2/11 - Vivi's Proof of Existence (IX), Edea's Valkyrie (VIII) Lucky (Bursts) - 1/11 - Refia's Shura Gauntlet (III) Player's Choice (Ultros) - 1/11, 0/1, 2/11 - Celes Excalibur (VI) (dupe), Terra Blood Sword (VI), Lightning Gladius (XIII) Banner 1 - 0/1, 2/11, 1/11 - Onion Knight Armor (III), Sephiroth's Chirijiraden (VII), Kain's Abel Lance (IV) Banner 2- 0/1 Banner 3 - 0/1, 2/11 - Bartz Apocalypse (V), Sabin's Armlet (VI) Banner 4 - 0/1, 3/11 - Agrias Ragnarok (T), Agrias Ragnarok (T), Onion Knight Eternal Staff (III) Banner 5 - 1/1 - Jecht's The Blitz (X) Bolded the poo poo that made me go gently caress yeah. I'll still probably use Larsa's staff a lot as a good caster weapon in XII (where I have lots of physical and almost no mage weapons) and Larsa as my hastega source for the realm. Sephiroth will see the light of day now, as will Jecht. Accordingly I'm gonna probably hone reaping scythe as a nice damage dealer for my growing number of physdark folks. But yeah, Refia, Edea, Terra, and Lightning went from marginal to A-teamers, and Agrias went from awesome to awesomer. My overall pull rate isn't fantastic, but it was Good Enough outside of me not having any Healer BSBs yet. The very very small number of dupes helped make my small pull total be a lot less painful. e: forgot about my impulse pull on banner 1 that yielded the Abel Lance, which is nice but feels kinda hollow since I already had Kain's nice SSB.

I didn't wind up with anything new that's meta defining for me, but I still got some good stuff. Standouts include Agrias BSB, Shantotto BSB, Realm BSB, Locke BSB, and some other items with pretty niche uses but pretty great realm synergy. I definitely filled out my VI synergy and got some new options there for teams. I also got some OSB's, though no corresponding enelements for them. Now to figure out how to allocate mithril going forward. I would like to pull at least once on either of those upcoming Tactics banners, but not really needed since my Tactics CM team is probably already my best. Cloud God banner is a definite pull, but no telling how much I'll need to spend on it. I guess I'll just wait and see what I manage to pull and make sure to have some set aside for XTREMEfest. If I use favorites to determine where to pull, there's really not much for me between now and the next fest. Basically just Tactics and V, with VII having some nostalgia for me anyway. This is all assuming that the rumors on the timing of having VII before the fest are true.

Other then bringing characters with synergy and using the XP RMs, nothing really. In two weeks the daily dungeons will be revamped, so there's going to be new EXP dailies on Tuesday as well as Sunday, which should be easier for you. The highest difficulty level should also take 120 stamina total, which should make going through the stages faster on weekends. Edit: too slow

I have two sources of Last Stand, the damage reflection thing, Shout, Terra's OSB, and some other nice tools, so the hardest Nemesis fight is probably doable for me. I'm not that interested in trying though because the reward is dumb and I don't like fights that require such a specific toolset to even stand a chance

Summary of pulls for anniversary: Medica Banner: 1/11, Rosa BSB EnElement Banner: 2/11, Kain BSB, Braska's High Summoner Staff BSB Banner: 2/11, Serah BSB and Warrior of Light BSB Anniversary: Dupes on Indom Blade, Onion Sword, and Platinum Sword, and Blood Sword Skipped Banners 1 and 2 Banner 3: 4/22, Bartz OSB, Golbez BSB, Sabin and Laguna SSB Banner 4: 5/22, Eiko BSB, Ashe OSB, Alph SSB, dupe Eternal Staff (which is an 8* now) All in all very happy. Still came out of it with 150 mythril to throw at trying to get OK BSB (and Desch) on banner 2, though I probably won't pull 3 times on it. Also managed to level TG Cid, Kain, Rosa, Celes, Cloud, Sephiroth, and Yuna to 99 from anywhere between 50s to 80s. Ashe and Golbez are mid 80s and Cid Raines is 83-84 or so. And now I have a backlog of characters to keep leveling (Raines, Golbez, Ashe, Warrior of Light, Eiko) Combo fucked around with this message at 01:53 on Apr 6, 2017 |

You can look up any RW you want online, so most people have multiple friends with any SB they use a lot of. And on your end the gil reward is so tiny that it might as well not exist. I switch them around when someone here is having trouble that one of my setups could help with, but otherwise eh.

Yeah I kind of stopped putting a ton of effort into roaming warriors, the most it seemed to make was like a 1000 gil difference per day and who seriously cares about that. If there's something I have that will help someone on here or reddit I'll change it but that's about it.

I found some of the X Records rushes *way* more difficult than typical event Ultimates, primarily because having three bosses in a row forces you to pace yourself and means that no matter what you won't have a RW for one of them unless you spend a mythril. That said, you can do exactly that; since they cost almost no stamina and give 1 mythril, you can let yourself die and mythril revive for the final boss. It's basically like getting 4* motes and an MC3 lode for free if you would otherwise have been unable to clear the fight. I did it to use a wall RW. I remain bewildered about how people can "bring proper mitigation" for three-boss rushes that deal both physical and magic damage in a variety of elements, or deal with going into a boss that has an aoe 2500 damage attack with less than full HP to start the battle.

If you don't have a native wall, the key is to figure out which 2 bosses hit the hardest and use the RWs on those. In all of the rushes so far there has been at least 1 boss that gives you more breathing room than the others, so if you an bring proshellga + some debuffs, it's not too bad. A lot of still comes down to how big your toolbox is though; I've got enough relics and leveled characters where I can easily bring proshellga, Full Break, Power + Magic breakdown, and a debuffing SB all at once, at which point a Wall just becomes a buffer instead of a necessity. It's much trickier if you don't have a lot of options. edit: They are definitely harder than an average Ultimate fight though.

Agree with this, pretty much had the same experience with them. I found each boss to be a alot squishier than most ultimates, but about on par or a little above for the amount of damage they put out. I pretty much set out with a plan to use my RW on the first two bosses while charging up some good damaging soulbreaks, and then nuking the poo poo out of the third boss to kill him before he could even hit me more than a couple of times.

Shadow and Setzer USBs look great. Shadow's is a dark-Edge clone, complete with the event probably releasing dark versions of the same Ninja skills. Banner 1 is great if you really like Shadow or Setzer, it features every single SSB+ relic they have. Samurai is getting two new 5* abilities too, which explains Cyan getting two Enfire relics (USB and LMR). Gau gets a new BSB, and I regret asking for a new relic for him. It's very random, so unless it turns out it's biased towards good results, it's not going to be very good. Gogo (VI) seems to be a non-elemental physical/magical split character like Onion Knight and Vayne, which sets him apart from water and magical focused Gogo (V)

I've gotta figure they still have a ludicrous number of costumes to release, so they could just start basing events around those at some point. Even just V alone... Looks like they're starting to tap further into the villains, also. Hell, at some point, they could just start back in on the FFRK story and make up new poo poo. That's not why people play, but it could definitely be used to spread out the still super vast amount of stuff they have left to use. Worst case, they crack open more Square Enix properties. I would legitimately be okay with the Dragon Quest universe becoming a permanent realm. They could even make crossover synergy realms with the main FF titles, where characters start getting soul breaks with all-star team-ups. The content can last as long as they want it to.
