Cowcaster posted:what the heck is the point of gogo's mimic if it can't do soul breaks or burst commands, sheesh I'm assuming you bring (maybe both) Gogo and go on a Meltdown/Valigarmanda chain. Not accepting Burst commands is actually a good thing in that way so your 6* ability won't be overwritten as the last ability used, so you can still heal and support with the Burst commands without Gogo trying to copy them. It sucks you can't copy some of the really great BSB commands, but free casts of 6* abilities are nice. Gogo (VI) is launching with his Legend Dive that boosts the power of his Mimic Commands and his LM relic adds Quickcast to them, which lets him get decent damage out of spamming 6*s, or maybe just speed healing with Curada or something.

Oh my god those commands. I already have shadow's bsb, so if I rw his usb then that will be loving nuts. Then all I have to do is run the physical blink ninja abilities and drat son, shadow is my newest best physical fighter! Is the whole blink stacking 4* and 5* ninja combo even good, actually? And a lot of those relics rock. I'd love another chance at setzer's bsb, and an sb for gau to use when he runs out of chain full charge uses is nice too I guess. And Umaro is a beast, I can't wait to see what lovely ability set dena gave him. Us getting a 5* samurai skill that applies retaliate means I can probably destroy my copy of the samurai's 6*. Though it's still good aoe at least. I still really want to see the skipped ice ability released despite these new abities, the stacking attack buff would be quite nice. Edit: Nihilarian posted:incidentally, Sanguine Cross is getting a buff, and will... take less of your HP to use Yeah, 13.5% health drain instead of 25%. Alongside the new physical darkness double drain strike ability, it will actually be a very decent combo. I think I'll start honing it, since I have at least one endark bsb physical darkness user. That can be upkept by a healer bsb spaming the aoe cura while they wait for something better to do. It's a good buff. Sprite141 fucked around with this message at 01:24 on Apr 7, 2017 |

It is extremely good. An example, using Edge's presumably-equivalent USB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qy3TirLfAFc (also features Tidus's water chain, for chain haters  )I haven't seen a hardcore math breakdown of all the permutations yet, but I believe that Edge USB + full legend dive + Water Mirage and Torrent Seal is the single best physical DPS combo in the game. Shadow with the Dark equivalents should be just about as good. Better in some ways, worse in others. Zurai fucked around with this message at 01:40 on Apr 7, 2017 |

It stacks, although you don't really want to use a SB on a character with no Lifesiphon/Wrath access instead of just using an ability if your goal is just to get a blink stack. Hi posted:Can someone tell me, can you get multiple onion knight seals for record sphere unlocks by repeating the world of darkness dungeon thats currently active? Yes, you can get all the OK motes you need from the Mote Dungeon Ahriman. They aren't guaranteed drops, but they aren't super rare either. Probably somewhere between 25% and 50%, I'd say.

Tried an ill-advised pull on the WoFF Banners to try and grab the cute BSBs. 4/11: Lann SSB x 2, Reynn SSB, Lightning SSB2. A little disappointing, but the double up on Lightning boosting armor is nice. Shame Garnet can't use either of them though. Lann's SSB is garbage though. If I had Refia or Edea's BSBs I might try another pull for the element boosting BSBs, but now I have too many dupes on a Banner that wasn't great to begin with. It wasn't the-meant to be. Edit: Hi posted:I did it once and got an OK token, tried a second time and did not ... dont want to keep wasting time and mithril on it if its a rare or one time only drop Everyone else covered it, but I don't think it's worth spending Mythril on to get you through the boss battle. The FF3 event in two weeks will have an EXP Dungeon which is much easier to go through and get Onion Motes. pichupal fucked around with this message at 02:47 on Apr 7, 2017 |

MarcusSA posted:Wait wtf I Have to get that one first? A requirement for every Record Materia is getting the previous Record Materia. So yes, you need to use Cloud's MC2 & get Soldier Counter before Mako Might will have the chance to drop. I think Kain, Cloud, Black Mage and White Mage have specific battles you need to bring them in for their Materia to drop. There's also a lot of people who only drop their RM in their home realm (eg. Tidus will only drop High Scorer in an FFX stage). The in-game Record Materia list is pretty good at indicating requirements for Materia to drop. Edit: not at my computer right now, but I used to use this to help me keep track of the RMs with special conditions. Not sure if that core list is accurate though.

Im not wasting a ton of mithril on world of darkness, but theres literally no reward for repeating it if the OK mote doesnt drop... usually 1 or 2 mithril to build up and unleash my triple enholy beatrix minfilia agrias BSB/BSB/OSB steamroll of constant 9999x2 attacks that debuff his damage capabilities but if theres a better alternative Id rather just wait

Hi posted:Yea that woulda been my next question is , is it worth it. Absolutely do not use mithril trying to farm Onion Motes. He's worthwhile as a character without any motes if you have his BSB, and you'll probably have better options available to you if you don't have it. But yeah, III event coming up with mote farming available and much easier, plus with experience bonus. The Ahriman method of farming motes should really only be a thing if you have stamina to spare and can do it without mithril.

If you can beat Ahriman without using revives it would be much more stamina efficient for farming motes if that's all you need. The drop rate for the motes in the FF3 exp dungeons is not very high. There were people (myself included) who used every spare stamina available short of mythril refreshes last time the FF3 exp dungeons were available and still did not get all the motes they needed. flowinprose fucked around with this message at 03:44 on Apr 7, 2017 |

Just wait for the next FF3 event. If it's anything like the OK's event you'll be able to farm 3x more than you need just by running the xp level casually.

Alxprit posted:I used every bit of stamina and ended up with more motes than I needed. Such is whimsy of RNG. Even completing all the cid missions for motes and using tons of stamina on the dungeons, I ended up short by either 1 or 2 motes, if I remember correctly. I definitely know I had to kill Ahriman to finish it out, but I don't remember how many times.

Alternately, roll Agrias and Cloud OSB and just gently caress Ahriman's poo poo in because you're bored. Finished farming my last motes earlier today, only real issue now is that I need 28 more 4* Vitality motes to finish Onion Knight up.

Nihilarian posted:my main problem with Sanguine Cross is that the damage you do to yourself counts against medals. If they fixed that I'd consider making it again. At this point in the game's lifespan, the only thing you generally need to even consider as far as medal requirements is making sure you hit all the special medals for a fight. It's very rare for there to be a consequential fight with fewer than 3 medal losses allowed, and that means you can afford to lose 1 medal for actions taken and 2 for damage taken. You cannot lose more than 2 for damage taken regardless of how much damage you take, and I have never seen 2 actions taken medals lost since the last time they tweaked the medal requirements.

Well, after not playing this for months, the notifications on my phone caught my attention, particularly the new FFIX one, and I decided to start drawing. Between the free draw and one pull on each IX banner over the past few days, I got the following results:   I am, as you might expect, pretty happy; when I saw that last banner I was hoping for either Beatrix's sword or something good for Vivi (my two favorite characters), and I also have Kuja's glove (plus some nice things for non-IX people from before), so, I think I'm really well off. I guess I should get back into this and put all this to use. Also I still have 50 mithril; anything worth throwing it at now?

Alright, thanks. By the way, when I stopped playing before, OSBs were just becoming a thing. How are they? Like, is it worth using Cloud solely for his? I mean, his in particular seems a bit lackluster compared to others that have more effects, I suppose, but, yeah. Also, has the meta/general strategy shifted much, or is it still Wall, Hastega, and maybe Boostga for all the toughest stuff? Anything important I should know?

Roland Jones posted:Alright, thanks. Most OSBs are just raw damage (Orlandu's is the one exception I can think of), and Cloud's is actually pretty good since he has a BSB with an enelement now (his BSB2, They're good, but they're generally not good enough to bring a character solely for. BSBs and USBs (Ultra Soul Bursts, the other 6* Relic bursts) are much more make-or-break. Wall isn't nearly as necessary as it used to be, with the prevalence of DEF/RES-ignoring moves on higher content, but it can be nice to have, especially if you lack enough debuffs to stack on bosses. Hastega is also pretty nice but if you have a full team of people with BSBs, you don't need it since all BSBs give the user haste. Stat buffs, though, are definitely the way to go for harder stuff - a +50% Boostga and +30% Faithga have about the same returns on damage done before softcap, and there's a lot more stacking buffs than there used to be if you get lucky with relics; ATK/MAG doublebuffs in particular are pretty common nowdays. Really, the absolute Most Important Thing I feel you should have are a strong healer SB (either a BSB with a weak command medica or an instant-cast USB); the best offense and defense are survival.
