Main account went 1/11 but it was Marach's burst which looks like a budget Fujin bsb.

Alt account went 2/11 with Seifer's gloves and Squall's BSB2.

That account continues to be retardedly powerful.

Melee:
Squall BSB2 and OSB
Refia BSB
Minfilia BSB
Ramza Shout/USB
Gaffgarion BSB
Lion BSB
Kain BSB

Mage
Desch, Seymour, Alph, Krile BSBs, Vivi and Terra OSBs

Also OK BSB

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
1/11 Lenna USB. Nice but once again not worth using as the sole SB. It's a 6* holy boosting healer gear though so the cat will like wearing it. Actually makes a really strong no synergy duo with the Vanille USB 6* staff.

Not gonna lie, I would really like some butsts. Gotten two since the last fest and pulled on a dozen banners or so. I've literally gotten twice as many USBs and OSBs than BSBs.

Apocalypse Twintania wasn't too bad - you just gotta pray to avoid the paralysis from Mind Blast so you have your debuffs up in time for Ultimate Gigaflare. It helps that I have three Summon BSBs so I could bypass his counters completely though.

Shouldn't have worried about the recent banners being excluded, I pulled vintage SSBs for Bartz and Greg. The only recent relic was Rapha's SSB, which is okay I guess.

4/11 for History's Truth on Ramza, Phantom on Faris and a BSB and SSB for Agrias. No dupes and I already have Shout, Tailwind and Faris' BSB so this was an unbelievably good pull.

So I got 2x Butz BSB from my dungeon LP, which is pretty great because I fully dived him (including 3/3ing Snowspell Strike) back in the day but haven't had a reason to use him lately given my luck on other banners. With this BSB though he can be pretty flexible so I'm excited to have him off the bench.

That's not the main reason why I'm posting though.

The main reason why I'm posting is:

Did the half-price draw on all the nightmare banners and this was both the best pull of the bunch and probably my best overall pull of all time.

If you're struggling with the 120 difficulty fight it's because he'll throw overpowered moves at you any time you attack him with a move he hasn't done first. Wait for him to make the first move.

Until the mimic part is over, anyway. Then it's just a regular fight.

Really? Because he kept one shotting people every time I tried to let him do his mimic stuff. I finally beat him by bringing Vaan's BSB and firing first, and then his first move was casting haste, which gave me plenty of room to put up mitigation.

It's the 180 fight thought it would be the same as 120.

Pretty funny gotcha gotta admit, helps that it only cost me 1 stamina.

Is there some kind of bug with sap and HP stock? I was fighting FFV Manticore and it hit everyone with sap just after I'd gotten a 2k HP stock from Hidden Bloom. Everyone then stood there with queued actions as the sap and HP stock ticks fought each other to a standstill. Cost me two damage medals!

Her EX Mode lasts 15 seconds and grants +30% ATK, and trigger High Quickcast 1 after dealing Lightning element damage.

For reference, High Quickcast 1 is the same cast speed bonus as TGCid Mode for 1 turn. So as long as you keep using Lightning attacks in the 15 second period, it'll be like using TGC OSB + En-Lightning, just slightly weaker on the first entry and shorter duration.

Also slightly overlooked is her sword boosts lightning damage in all realms, which makes for an amazing stat stick.

I'm having really bad luck with the Lucky Draws lately - out of the last 5, the only worthwhile thing I've gotten is TG Cid OSB, which I guess is fair because a lot of people would gladly trade 125 mythril for it but it's still upsetting to do 5 draws and only get dupes and useless SSB's besides.

Yeah I'm thinking I might RW that for Full Throttle to go with Kain BSB; with Garnet providing a triple-Imperil stack that should melt through his health pretty quickly. Not sure about the regular A+ though, I might be dependent on Wall there especially since I still lack Shout (well, a few more DU updates with Tactics in them to go...).

U++ Bart looks really nasty though. Current plan is Sazh/Raines/Noel/Jihl/Vanille. Sazh to debuff and Wrath to recast Boon, Raines for DPS by RWing Metamorphosis, Noel for Dispel and to do his Lifesiphon > Deathblow loop, Jihl for Breakdowns, and Vanille to heal. I'm pretty concerned about Apoptosis because of the Ultimate Dispel; if it Dispels the buffs from Raines RW (and from Memento Mori) I'll have to go pretty slow at first.

I'd like to be able to fit in Slowga and Affliction Break, but I just can't see it happening. I guess I might also need to finally hone Ultra Cure. But with my synergy being even worse than FFV here, chances are I might end up skipping this Cid's Mission too. My only BSB is Serah, and she can't really fit into the party (actually, I might use her over Raines if she can self-Faith herself).

Got 1/11 on LD for Quistis' OSB. It could be better (with, say 2+ relics) but I can certainly make use out of a good ability that already comboes with Hail to the Queen. Even on elite dungeons there's not much setup necessary to hit 5 nines worth of damage on a boss.

Not looking forward to the ultimates on this event but at least I natively have all the tools to do it and can probably burst proud clad down with TG Cid and RWing lightning's usb since thunder god mode stacks with it from what I understand.

2/11 on the DU lucky. Edea bsb and dupe sheepsong. The best magic ice bsb in the game is surely worth 25 mythril. Also I have a lot of whips now. 6* beast killer, fire lash, red scorpion and rydia bsb whip. Too kinky.

Barely any have come out even in the highest difficulty stuff. They are really holding off on it as long as they can. I think like a year ago people datamined the backgrounds from some of the final boss battles but I think we've only gotten a single one so far, and that's from FF1 with Chaos. It's not available in story mode yet. Next closest thing was maybe Jecht, though he's technically not the final boss. And I can't remember if he has a story dungeon yet or not(he is in the runup to the Omega Drive nightmare dungeon though). He had the funny "butt rock" music and everything too!!

We've fought Emperor (FF2 final boss and bonus boss) in his release event, Jecht and Kuja are formalities (BFA is for all intents and purposes the final boss of X since the actual final boss is one you have to try to lose, Trance Kuja is the penultimate fight and leads directly into Necron), Caius Ballad could be a similar technicality (He's XIII-2's final boss, but not in that form).

I didn't realize Emperor was the final boss. For some reason I kept thinking there was someone after.

Yu Yevon from X will probably be a proper fight in FFRK, so I consider it a real final boss for our purposes.

We haven't yet fought Emperor in his final boss form. We've fought him in the Cyclone, which is before Leon joins your party for the rest of the game, and we've fought his "Heavenly" form from the Soul of Rebirth bonus campaign.

We haven't fought that in FFRK.
