I really want Gaff's bsb because it has an ether effect, so I'm kind of disappointed that I didn't get it, but not THAT disappointed because 3/11 Jecht, Rapha, and Galuf BSBs and I know Rapha is great.

Gaff doesn't really have much to abuse it with, though. There's Omega Drive, but that's about it.

I'll pull him out for fun and I've got both a +Dark sword and light/heavy armour waiting for him, but I don't think he's sneaking into the B team even.

I should probably be disappointed in this but I'll never say no to a new doohickey for Faris, even if I have her BSB already.

3/11 - Agrias's BSB (dupe but still useful), Wakka's SSB, and Yuna's BSB2. :woop: Finally I have a good healing BSB, and just in time for the upcoming FF10 event!

I have both her BSB and SSB, and the SSB is useful if you're using her as a Dancer for some extra damage, especially if someone can benefit off the Imperil, or to hit a Wind (or Lightning) weakness. (Her ATK/MAG SB or USB would be better, but I don't have those.)

I was hoping against for Orlandeau's OSB but I am certainly not going to complain about this.

does imperil stack? I now have two imperil fires (Galuf and Locke BSB) and maybe one of these days I'll get something that does fire damage besides Squall BSB.

Yup, imperils can stack up to 3 times as well as with different kinds. Having multiple is pretty baller as a result.

4/11 Krile BSB, Yuna SSB (dupe), Mustadio SSB and Paine SSB.

Nothing exciting, but pulling 4 with only 1 dupe is okay with me.

3/11 and a total boon for building up a wind team. Dorgann's Blade (first wind boost sword for me) and Faris's Bracers (first wind imperil for me). Also got a Romandan Pistol, which will have its uses and wasn't a dupe.

2/11 but it was Mustadio BSB and Lenna BSB.

Both pretty solid but things I probably didn't need.

I have healer bursts for Yshtola, Rosa, Ovelia, Eiko, Arc, Yuna2, Relm, and now Lenna.

I also have a ton of support BSBs but Mustadio's seems pretty loving good so cool there. I also have an embarrassing amount of FFT synergy.

The cool thing about Lenna's BSB is that it buffs her MND through the goddamn roof between entry and command 1. That plus command 1 being 4 hits makes her the hardest hitting white mage if you find she has time to do things other than heal. Also all that MND buffing makes her standard medica command 2 actually a good bit better than other BSB medica commands.

they stack, and Galuf's BSB is one of the best Imperil's, if not the best.

Now you don't have to suck meat from an exoskeleton!
The good: Orlandeau's SSB. I may have his OSB already but this is AOE and this game utterly refuses to give me magic BSBs so I have to make do with what I get and Orlandeau is a good man. The bad: Greg's OSB. A dupe Greg OSB, even!

Sorry everyone, I think I took all of your luck.



I had given up on getting his OSB after chasing it like 5 times, so that was a nice surprise. Great stuff overall, the only dupe is Iga Blade and even that's fine because I have so goddamn many FFT / + holy swords that I can safely combine it.

Seriously though game, I really, really do not need any more FFT synergy. Somehow I have 1 OSB, 4 BSBs, and 6 SSBs, including Shout, despite only purposefully pulling on like 2 FFT-specific banners ever. I think I'm good.

I complained about it in the Discord but I just went Jecht OSB/11 and it is probably the single worst OSB. Lightning's at least gets better the more you use it and is on a character with a good skill set. Jecht needs to have three full SB bars to not blow. It's not even good as a stat stick since its a blitzball.

Huh. Ok so, I got galuf's bsb and orlandeau's ssb. Is orlandeau's ssb worth anything since I have his absolutely amazing osb?

And is galuf's bsb any good? Its commands are all off heals so that could potentially be pretty loving neat honestly. Use galuf as an off healer and lenna as dedicated heal with her curaga medica. Though sadly none of my ffv relics synergize with one another. Krile's sheep skin vs galuf and barts bsb, faris imperil wind ssb and gilgamesh's old and bad ssb.

Fire/Dark gives it some versatility and Jecht has lots of offensive options.

Honestly even the worst OSBs are on characters with good ability options.

Jecht's OSB can at least be abused with fire/dark imperils and enspells. That's more than can be said for poor ol' Greg.

I feel the need to point out Sephiroth will enjoy a katana like the Iga Blade whether it's combined or not...

That said, congrats on pulling a great set of relics for a Holy Physical team and Marach's Mag/Res Debuffing Burst.

Alright, I'm probably underselling Jecht. I do need another fire user for a fire physical team centered around Locke, and I guess I can just staple Fires Within and Lifesiphon to Jecht. I have an absolute ton of Physical Dark bursts, which means Jecht doesn't really have enough going for him to bump anyone off that team.

I'm really hoping for the Auron BSB2 later this week to get an EnFire burst. Only dupe on that banner is Braska's Faithga, and I'd be okay with just about anything on it. My X synergy is only Jecht OSB, Tidus OSB, and Braska SSB, so anything helps. I think I'll only spend 50 mythril though, so I still have enough saved to pull for Irvine/Squall, and the next fest.

Actually, when do we get Fire Shooter skills?

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
4/11 Dupe Agrias BSB, Marach BSB, Mustadio Seal Evil Super, Dorgann Winds of Home Super.

Marach BSB sounds amazing, hope it doesn't have junk multipliers or something. It's not instant cast spam but reduced cast time is the next best thing.

Agrias BSB is great, gonna combine it. Three holy swords is enough.

Supers seem pretty meh

1/11 Agrias OSB.

Which would have been fine, but this is my 4th time pulling the drat thing. Can't even combine it anymore.

Hopefully I pull another 2 someday so I can have 2 8* enholy swords?

1/11, Rikku BSB. Not sure how to feel about that, doesn't look all that special unless I run a water team.

Did pull Basch OSB off the dollar draw so that's something anyway.

I got 3 BSBs on the lucky draw! Unfortunately two of them were Lulu's dress and Lenna's staff which seem like worse versions of the BSBs I already have for Papalymo / Aerith. Faris' bow seems decent though?

Am I missing something about it? The cura level heal seemed like a step down from white materia and while reraise sounds nice my most frequent cause of death is not popping wm fast enough. Once it's out everyone stays more or less topped off. I guess the holy attack is a nice extra option?

My exact pull! Well, minus the 4's and 3's being different.

I was disappointed at first, but I don't have a Wind Imperil so this could be useful. Say, for the 220 raid that's going on right now, if I hadn't already done it. Luneth BSB and Faris's Bracers is a good combo.

also, shoutouts to JP getting a dungeon update too so I can build up some stamina there on my new account. Sucks that they don't have a half-price Lucky Draw though...

ApplesandOranges

Thankee kindly.
Most single target heal commands that aren't instant are just nice hone-extenders with a bonus effect. So Lenna doesn't really lose out on much by having an offensive command instead, and her personal damage is the best of all the healers (Vanille's is better for support though). Unlike Penelo, her buffs don't conflict with similar buffs like Yuna's.

Can't complain, only the Excalibur was a dupe. Was actually mulling over pulling on the upcoming FFX event because my synergy is pretty mediocre, and while I might still do that but this brings me a step further. Also have a fully kitted out FFT team, up till now I only had 4 FFT characters with SBs because the game kept giving me multiple SBs to the same people.

Unless you hunger for Kimrahi's BSB, you may want to wait for the next ffx event, it looks like a better banner in pretty much every way.
