Reno's a hybrid character with exactly equal magic and attack and his BSB is good.

He's considered a mage by most because black 5 is generally more useful than combat 4/celerity 5/machinist 5, but you don't have to worry about that since you got his BSB

Especially given that Reno's BSB gives him Enlightning, which boosts Tempest Snipe.

Also, aren't they eventually supposed to start releasing Machinist abilities that inflict imperils?

Yes, there are two so far in JP: Spark Offer and Cold Offer, which give a chance to minor imperil thunder/cold respectively. A lot of people don't like them because they don't do a lot of damage and only have a chance for a 10% imperil, but I've had good success with Spark Offer on my Prompto.

Awesome!
I've got Edgar's imperil SSB, and en-poision BSB so this will complete the set. Bonus as a stat stick gun and AOE OSB.
Lightbringer was the only dupe.
Rune Axe looks kinda crappy but it's II synergy.
My mage team is already insane with some of the best bursts (Cid/Maria/Alph/Papa), why not add two of the best ones around I don't have.

I'm pretty excited for Fujin's, love the debuff angle on that.

if you have a good soul break for a character with an awkward equipment list, rosetta'ing a weapon they can use is often a good idea. Like if you had Fran's BSB, stuffing your best bow full of rosettas will give you a weapon she can use anywhere.

I would probably go element boosts > OSBs as stat sticks > good uncommon weapons that one of your primary dudes use (darts, balls, whatever). The nice thing about augmenting element boosts is being able to cull your equipment list a bit (for more augments).

For reference, I've maxed out the following:

- TGC OSB (+holy)
- Beatrix OSB 7* (+holy)
- Minfilia BSB 8* (+holy)
- Cid Raines BSB (+dark)
- Kain BSB (+lightning)
- Vaan OSB (stat stick dagger)
- Terra OSB 7* (stat stick for mages)
- Freya SSB 8* (stat stick spear)
- Faris BSB 6* (stat stick bow)

VVV sorry it was her BSB, Curtana.

From this point forward I am going to pretend that my curaga draw was Larsa SSB and Penelo SSB, and that my BSB+ draw was Larsa BSB x2. This is much easier to deal with than getting a 1/11 and duping on the draw this morning.

Cloud's BSB2 has a stacking ATK buff on the second command, high damage on the first command, virtually guarantees a 99999 hit with his Overflow, and if you get his Ultra later the BSB2 can also put out some game-breaking damage.

Or rosetta-ing strong OSB equipment with elemental boosts. TG Cid has his weapon on all the time now, even with Synergy most stuff is weaker than 6*+Holy.

I should really just
learn to stop talking.
Ahaha, those 2 poo poo lucky draws earlier are being revenged in spades with my last draw and this one. This time I only got three orbs, but it's all pretty awsome poo poo for people I had nothing for before.

I pulled golbez's tanky bsb, which means I have a character I can tank with now. Golbez with drawfire and drainga was always a decent strategy, this bsb just lets me do that and still have 2 ability slots left over.

I got palom's bsb, which apparently is useful in the magicite dungeons so that's pretty sweet!

Finally I got noel's bsb. I already dove him to 5* thief, so now I have a 5* thief with full on support and 4* white magic. I was really wanting this for him earlier, but now that I have sazh's bsb and 50% atk ssb I don't really expect to use him much. Still, it really rounds out his kit and gives noel a pretty decent niche.

Banner 1 time!

First the bad(?) news




Another Wizard Rod! :doh: Kuja's OSB, well, I dunno if it's good or it's bad.


Now, the good news. My 11 pull was because I got greedy and wanted Quistis' Dress. It eludes me yet again.

Now, the good news!

I did my 100 gem pull before this and got this beauty:

Thankee kindly.
3/11. Garnet SSB, Yuna USB, Yuffie USB.

Pretty nice, actually. I wanted the SSB for another +10 MAG for my favourite female protaganist. Yuna's USB isn't really what I wanted (and now I'm sad it replaced Quistis' OSB), but it'll do. And Yuffie USB is a nice versatile SB and my first real Water-based SB.

It's a pity I missed out on some of the other relics that I wanted, like Quistis BSB/Kuja OSB/Rosa USB, but honestly I'm pleased enough.

Now to decide whether to pull for Mog BSB or Reks BSB.

Happier with it than my Raines OSB and Sarah BSB on the BSB+ and it makes Edward's BSB on the Imperil Luckys look a hell of a lot better.

The nightmare luckys conditioned me to expect basically the worst, so something I'll actually use outside of CM is extremely nice.

That said, maybe I'm still satisfied with the 3/11 I got from the BSB+ Lucky Draw consisting of Auron and Balthier's BSB1s and the One for Luneth.
