Pretty tough Highway CM this time around, I went with the two-healer approach.

Kain [Leaching Leap, Lightning Dive, BSB]
Edward [Affliction/Full Break, Song of Swiftness]
Rosa [Shell, Ultra Cure, Divine Heal]
Ceodore [Magic Break, Curada]
Edge [Dismissal, Powerchain, BSB]
RW: Wall

I had slow resist gear on everyone. Wall probably wasn't necessary as the only thing that hurt was Maelstrom. The end of the fight was a drag but I got it done; 4 uses of Affliction Break and 6 of Curada owns. I had the white magic double trigger RM on Ceodore and it proc'd twice, which was great. Gas was only cast once and it blinded Rosa so whatever...even though AOE slow is pretty annoying, it was a close/fun fight in the end.

Yeah this. Hit elemental weaknesses to build meter. She's a spellblade so she can hit almost any element.

She's Spellblade 5(fire, water, lightning, ice, bio, wind) Knight 5(holy, earth) Black Mage 4(dark), so she can actually hit literally any elemental weakness. And her LM2 increases gauge gain from hitting weakness!

She actually makes me wish that there were more interesting skill setups for the rest of the cast besides lifesiphon or wrath all loving day.

Skipping curaga banner, only went 1/11 on imperil and it was a dupe Cid's Hammer.

Hoping for no trash from bsb banner tomorrow.

Greg was a better challenger after the jerk known as Geryon. Of course, he's prone to letting the player Hit & Run.

Overall, I was doing fine with the battle stacking as many DEF Buffs and ATK Debuffs I could with Setzer, Raines & Wall until he pulled his 4K blows against my DPSes in his Weak Phase, but again I was punishing some of his Gravity-based moves with Alphie's Development Tactics.

Thankfully Setzer and Yuna could still hit hard with their Bursts' commands...

I tauntilated him to victory with his own bsb and gaias cross and bashed his head in with tg cid osb and lightning osb.

No wall but used native ramza and eiko with ramza usb rw.

So I was browsing the Japanese FFRK videos to see what upcoming SB animations looked like, and I want to express my appreciation that Prompto takes a selfie at the end of his USB.

I wasn't going to pull the Healer Lucky because there wasn't anything in particular I needed to chase, but I realized I didn't have any USBs yet...



...and now I have two :toot:

Rune Tooth and Chirijiraden were dupes, but I've been trying to think of what to use my Rosettas on and some 7* weapons seem like as good a place as any.

Super happy with Tidus CSB since I have Rikku BSB to go along with it already. This is totally the best 11-pull I've ever had in FFRK.

After going 1/11 and 2/11 with nothing but dupes, this was the only lucky draw that worked out for me.

3/11 - BSBs for Marach, Yuffie and Snow. All three new for me, Yuffie should be great for a water team, and bonus +ice armour for Squall.

Didn't really have any strong Fire stuff so this is nice. A little sad my 1/11 pull from these luckies ended up on the best banner, but I was afraid of dupe Cloud BSB1/11 so I'll count my blessings.

Wait -- I haven't even voted in this game yet!

4/11, Zeromus Shard, Ragnarok-6, Sasuke's Blade, Razor Carbine. No dupes.

Pretty sure I won the BSB+ draw. Even if someone gets a better draw (congrats to them!) that's still amazing and really lessens my desire to pull on banner 3, which will probably save me some in the long run.

I'm not here to fuck spiders!

Yesterday I went 4/11 on the Curaga Lucky, with two new USBs (Selphie and Eiko) and a new medica for Lenna, so I'm totally sure today's pull is gonna be amazing!


1/11, Rosa's BSB.
Well, at least it's not a dupe. :toot:

Vincent BSB/11 which is pretty strictly eh

I have his enFire SSB, so maybe it'll come in useful at some point, and its synergy armor.

Time to buckle down and skip the rest of the fest.

I got Faris's Coat USB and Maria's Rune-graven bow. I'll take it. Still need at least one more SB for a full V team, but now Faris has something more interesting than Sea Lord's Broadside at least. And now once again I'm not sure who takes my default dancer slot since I just pulled Mog's BSB.

Oh well. Nice to have something new for Earth, too. I was really lacking in that element. Just had Rinoa's BSB before. Bit of an odd element outlier.

Welcome to Moonside.

Moonwel ot cosidme.
Went 3/11 with Tyro OSB, Locke OSB (dupe), and Lenna USB. So really 1/11, but it's a stacking buff and I don't have a native medica for V and a 3000 HP stock is pretty close to one at least. Could be worse.

A fully augmented Gladius VI+ also has 197 Atk without RS, which is pretty drat nice for a +holy dagger that literally every character in the game can use. So even getting the dupe worked out alright. Did they ever get around to releasing 6* dark matter in JP?

Meanwhile, I have no self control. Good enough results though. Dupe 6*, but Mog BSB, and +10 Atk for Setzer! :toot:

Habs 2006: Cristobal Persuasion
3/33 overall on the lucky banners, with the cursed fusoya relic, then a dupe Arc SSB, which as far as that banner went is a good dupe to get. I won't look down on +holy robes. Last one was Mog BSB, which I might get some use out of and might have chased me off of pulling on that ff6 banner. Kind of thinking about Strago's burst on the second banner, with its resistance piercing cmd2.

2/11. Squall BSB2 and Paine BSB.

Squall was stuck at level 80 for a long time, and now he's at level 99, fully dived, and halfway through his legend dive. A good pull changes everything.

Also, the Paine BSB coupled with the Rikku BSB I pulled from the imperil draw two days ago should mean I can now master the X Torment CM when it finally rolls back around.

Yshtola Asylum, Cid Raines Claws, Laguna imperil, Balthier BSB. No dupes! Outside of Balthier I think I did really well there!

Also, just gotta say that I'm loving Garnet's BSB2 combined with Lightning USB. Running that and Shout, I was putting out all 9999's on Apoc Gilgamesh every time I used the USB, which was coming up quickly because of created lightning weakness and quick casts.

I've got some fun options for lightning teams now, with Shantotto's BSB, Lightning's USB, Garnet's BSB2, Ashe's BSB, and Reno's BSB.

Y'shtola BSB, Selphie SSB(Dupe), Yuna SSB from the Curaga banner. Getting Ysh BSB on a whim pull definitely feels good.

From the BSB+ banner though.. 1/11 Quistis dress dupe. I'd rather have gotten a drat copy of Paladin Force, Tiny Bee, or Tyro OSB than that.

Also the crystal helm is cool!

Decided to do a last-minute pull on the Medica banner.

Glad I did. 3/11: Relm's new Ultra, Eiko's Guardian Mog and Larsa's Super that I don't care about. But the other two were nice!

The current banner was much less friendly, giving me only a single dupe despite the massive draw pool.

2/11 on Burst+. Fang's BSB2 and Krile's OSB, the latter of which helped me blast off a huge chunk of Apoc Greg's remaining HP once he got into Ultimate Retaliate mode... and it still took another three hits before he finally went down.

<click> <click> What is it with this dancing?! Bouncing around like fools... I would have thought my own kind at least would understand the seriousness of our Adventurer's Guild!

I was excited by the two rainbows and the disco ball, but one of them turned out to be a dupe The Ogre (my third!) and the other turned out to be Hope's Ninurta (a bit outdated). The last was ol' Kain's Dragon Mail. I think I can finally remove any edge cases where my old Genji Shield would be useful... Dragon Mail might at least be a good stat stick, right?
