6 x t4 and 3 x t5 for enhanced ramza's song hmm

wonder if we'll even be getting it anytime soon

maybe they're delaying it like with orlandu

i am almost positive at this point we wont see ramza enhancements until they release that other unit that can do what he can do. if we dont end up seeing those wol enhancements until after that 4* aoe tank you can probably just straight up guarantee it

I'm using Dana's Noctis, but I would like to have the fight go a bit faster IMO. What would be a guaranteed way to keep the party alive for awhile in Phase 2 so they can at least contribute to the fight? Dana's Noctis is cool but the rest of the party easily eats 5000+ HP damage from the both of them with resistances up.

It gets to the point sometimes where I decide to gently caress it and let Typhon snort me out of battle. I'd really like to get him some help!

Stack equipment-related elemental resist. Water especially, also Earth, Fire, Wind. LIghtning if you can get it, but not as important because that's later in the cycle and they'll probably be dead by then.

I was, say, 80% of the way done with phase 2 of the Ultros Showdown, and I plugged my phone in because it was literally about to die after nearly two hours, switched over to Settings so I could tell the battery to calm down and stop auto dimming to the point where I couldn't see what was going on and it decided to dump me back to the difficulty selection screen.

Rainbowbeard's gettin' angry!

The good news is, constant Point-Warping will get the job (slowly) done, figured this out after I got snorted away the first two times because I got distracted by something on the Meatspace Realm demanding my immediate attention. Warp Break is faster against Chalupa, yes, but Point-Warp is idiot-proof, and I have demonstrated that is what I am, so... :v:

I screwed up my first run because I point warped too early (lost focus and wasn't sure what was up), and got snorted when I landed. Gonna try again, but I'm bringing a Setzer since even only a single proc of double dice max damage will probably be more gross damage than my entire team was capable of putting out over the whole fight on the first try.

Edit: oh man that worked great until I hosed up and let Dana be snorted. Then Setzer killed Ultros first and everything went to poo poo. Got Chupon to about 5% when he just hit everyone for 15k damage.

The moogle. AND I loving did it again because Olive's mortar landed and killed her. Thankfully I quickly force closed the game, rebooted which restarted the turn and reset her mortar and was able to grab it.

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
got a few lucky rolls to make the fight much shorter, but Orthros/Typhon have been beaten! Kept Setzer alive and he maxed out on the damage on Typhon three times! I kept him from using Snort too.

I got Orthros down to about half health too with some lucky rolls, but then everyone except Dana's Noctis died. Did Thunder Flask/Alterna and Point-Warp when Hailstone was coming.

It felt good to be a little lucky and to provide some help to Dana's Noctis until the inevitable happened. Thanks Dana!

Not really a need for 2. If you ever want to double tank you'd probably want to mix in someone like Cecil for healing and cover.

Firion is a finisher. so you won't be chaining off him. Chizuru is hard to chain off others though because her hits all happen so fast. You don't really need Firion if you already have Olive.

Do you happen to have two Chizurus? If so, you can set up 2x Chiz and Olive finish for some real good damage.

if all you need is attack break freyvia is really great, bonus is the ice resist is somehow relevant, but for stuff with mixed damage like titan being able to break both at 45% with one ability is still unmatched

So I pulled Amelia and Fohlen. Apparently Fohlen's 100 ability is a wind version of Divine Ruination (requires him or someone else to give the elemental debuff, though) and Amelia has curaja, offense and defense breaks, innate dual wield for guns, and a 10-hit attack. Hello new team members.

Fohlen is pretty drat strong but right now he's hampered by poo poo gearing options. Also wind is sort of a bad element since not a whole lot of things work with it right now.

Japan is getting new characters. Season 2 Finna "White Lotus". Strong healing, strong mp recovery that has built in refresh, her TM is a hat with ribbon built into it. Also some weird hybrid damage 6 legged cat thing that can equip swords and rods. And a ninja dog because why the gently caress not!?

e-red mage cat has a TM that boosts attack when equipped with a sword and magic when equipped with a robe. Our global units grow even stronger

I was looking at the enhancements linked earlier, and it looks like DKC gets a really, really good Dark resist debuff, that I'm hoping will synergize really well with Elza. Are there any characters that get a chainable, unmitigated darkness move? So far it seems like we've got Orlandu, Fryevia, Fohlen, Aileen and pretty soon Tidus for light, ice, wind, ground and water respectively.

Balls. Got Ultros down to 10% left in the trial. One more good RNG roll of double dice would have won me the fight, but the game had to juke me like 5 times.

Not too rough for my first try though. I figure it's just a matter of time til I beat this one.

Side-note, when Chupon is very low on health there is a potential for a one-shot from the two of them, it might be safer to defend and Point-Warp the last 5% of his damage.

JP Update: White Lotus Fina is this week's new overpowered character, another "Season 2" main character. Limit burst is damage + Light/Dark imperil and grants the party Reraise. Trust mastery is a hat with 10 DEF, 24 MAG, 51 SPR and immunity to all status ailments.

Three other characters are also included, but I'm unsure of the name translations. Maintenance hasn't happened yet, so moves are still yet to be datamined.

Hopefully I didn't do it back when I played right when it came out for about an hour. I decided I didn't have time for it then, so I'm pretty sure I didn't, but I'm not sure how to check short of logging in as it and seeing if things mess up. I guess if I did I can make a second dummy Facebook account and permalink it to that, it's not like I use Facebook on my tablet much.
