What the heck is the point of Snowspell Strike? This seems like it's exactly the same as the new 5* spellblades, except it hits TWO elements (whoopty doo). For some reason I thought it was AOE like Tornado Strike, but it's ST. I've got Celes with a Runic SB so even a R1 spellblade ability is useful, but it just doesn't seem worth having precious 6* crystals locked up in a very minor upgrade to the current batch of spellblade abilities.
I guess most of that's just powercreep.

I am, on the other hand, totally down with the 6* theif ability. Atk+mag debuff? Please and thank you!

Snowspell Strike is easily the best Spellblade ability. Two elements is rare for any ability and they're both good elements.

The big thing about two elements is that the game always chooses the strongest of the two, so if a boss absorbs ice and you hit it with Snowspell Strike, it takes wind damage and ignores the ice absorb.

And yes it hits really hard. Like, way harder than the others.

Cloud's usb lets any ability break the damage cap. Snowspell strike with runic is the perfect example of abusing this.

I was thinking Squall would probably be the best to put Snowspell strike on, since doesn't he get doublecast ice/spellblade and his own absurd BSB? Seems like something worth pairing with Lifesiphon on him while building into his BSB2.

I'm not here to fuck spiders!

Ah, yeah. I took it to one of the easier nightmare bosses, just to try it out, and that is a significant difference in damage!
Would've been a really good idea to put one of those on Squall. Whoops! Although I doubt I'll use it much outside of Celes since I'm probably not going to hone it any time soon.

I also finally beat Necrophobe. What a jerk.

Very late, but my lucky draw was 2/11: Refia SSB and Papalymo SSB (Blizzaja). Meh.

Anyway, I decided to do a last minute pull on banner 3 since it's the only anniversary banner with less than 4 dupes at this point.



:eyepop: That'll do. Cid claws are a dupe because I pulled them when the banner was first released.

I am tempted to pull again on the anniversary but I want to pull on X and VIII events coming up, not to mention the Extreme Fest, so I have to stay strong. Also Keeper's Choice 3 if it EVER SHOWS UP.

I'm still grumpy about not getting Yuna BSB2 though. I'm hoping after the Rikku event they'll come back around to give Yuna some more stuff. I don't think she has a LMR in Japan yet.

There's no way to sell something from the vault, right?

Ended up somehow having a full vault and a full inventory at the same time, and the only thing I can do seems to be to spend 1 mythril on inventory or vault slots.

Do I just have to bite the bullet on that and then clear stuff out? It's only 1 mythril, so it's not a huge deal or anything, I just want to know if there's something I'm missing in case I do this again, because I'm a hoarder and I probably will.

So I think I'm in the market for a new Android phone and I'd like some recommendations for phones that run FFRK relatively smoothly. It is my understanding that even the highest-end Android phones still have hiccups here and there so I'm not looking for perfection. What I want is for the occasional 8 second freeze during an SB animation to go away. I'd also like load times to go down if possible.

I'm also aware that most of the problem is the Nougat OS, or rather that DeNA hasn't updated FFRK to support it yet.

Also if possible I'd like some recommendations for a bigger phone/screen. I have big hands and I hate tiny phones.

If you haven't maxed out your vault slots just go ahead and purchase another 50 slots with the 1 mithril. It's probably one of the most cost effective things to ever spend mithril on, in my opinion.

I have an Axon 7. Since the latest Android update 7.1.1, it's been running much better. Not perfect though by any means. Multiplayer still laggy as hell and some effects make it chug. As far as I've read the only good platform is iOS. Even Pixel suffers.

Maybe wait for word on the Galaxy s8.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.

I have the s7 edge and it works moderately well. Sometimes for no reason the framerate jumps up and it starts running very well. Then later it stops doing that for no reason and it just runs moderately well again. Occasional 1-2 second hiccups when starting a soul break, but only at the start, and very rarely, maybe once a day.

And then Scott's stats- clearly working with his Red Mage-ish set-up in Soul of Rebirth.

Scott
Black Magic 3, White Magic 4, Spellblade 5, Combat 4, Knight 4
Dagger, Sword, Axe, Hammer, Spear, Rod, Staff, Bow
Shield, Helm, Light Armor, Heavy Armor, Robe, Bracer

Gordon's USB has him taking inspiration from his departed brother to get serious.
Minwu's USB shows how darn good he is at this White Mage business.
Scott's BSB just needs a little help from the heavens to complete his weapon for some spellblading action (guest-starring the new AOE Ice ability).
Scott's SSB has him break out his ring to remember his love for Princess Hilda.
Ricard's BSB really, really likes Sky High.

A scarecrow would make for a more convincing unit than this 50 OK. Sub 1000 HP at 50, with realm synergy.

Really looking forward to growing him though, with the staff, gloves and armor he seems super flexible being able to nuke, heal or buff.

I took one pull, and got Rising Sun (twice); I'm really debating taking another pull on the FF3 banner (I like the first banner much more than the second) in hopes of variety. Refia would be a valuable member for the melee team with her Burst - actually, she's pretty solid even without it - and there's a lot of other stuff on the banner I don't have. Like everything. But with FFT coming up...

Edit: Whoops, her burst isn't even on it. GLAD I DIDN'T
