PaybackJack posted:Noctis is the only unit I feel I'm missing, despite not having Orlandeau or Aileen. People really rag on him here because he's not as OP as he is in JP but they say he's going to get upgraded at some point and even without the extras, he's still a pretty drat helpful unit. I really want his TM as well. Yea, I am not in it for OP status, I want him because of the pure utility. Hell I wouldn't even use him as a companion unit. I don't have the gear to make him amazing, as most of the gear is on other units, so it is just his kit, and not the status.AOE MP refresh, KO raise, Debuff + strong attack, Warp Break debuff, self HP/MP refresh via a jump...that is like half. I am not even getting a hard-on about his Arena usage either. I mean that is just some. I wouldn't have gotten past Echidna had a NOT used him more than likely, or I would have had to fumble through with alternating a Setzer and Rikku. Hell the friend unit I used was a goon that hasn't been in game for at least 3 months. I don't even think the attack rating was above 700. He is my most commonly used friend unit choice because I know his utility, and half the guides you read have him in some where. I'd prefer him over Orlandu, mostly because Orlandu seems too easy button, and you just Divine and done, I would like a little strategy more often or not. Now, if it is something I am completely unprepared for like when I was trying Gilgamesh, sure I'll cheese. I have also resolved myself to the fact that I won't get him.

Only ones I think I want to actually keep in it are Wilhelm and Gilgamesh, everyone else is just kinda there because  just don't know who else to put in the party. I dunno if I even have anyone worth swapping in in place of the other three.

BDawg posted:Why Lunera over Rikku? She seems to be pretty amazing. Big advantage of a unit like Ayaka or White Lotus Fina is their flexibility. They can do a single rez while heal bombing the party. If someone dies without a self rez on and all you have is a tilith that means someone has to burn a phoenix down to bring them back up while tilith full heals the party or she has to burn a party wide rez if no one is hurt and you dont want to waste a turn on someone else. They also have status effect immunity and higher health totals than tilith. Ayaka, given the current meta, is actually better than White Lotus Fina, because that reraise spell she has lets her spot self rez an important character like WoL/Mistair/Basch who can be flatten by doing their guards (Specially Mistair since at least one trial has her eat ultimas to avoid a party wipe" while still pumping lots of healing with curada. Bards and Rikku usually compete against each other in most teams. Usually, when you a bring a bard into your party, you aren't planning on having team wipes. The extra stats you get from their songs usually means you can survive some nasty poo poo that Rikku helps prevent with her aoe reraise. A bard is a better character to bring if you dont have a good buffer in your party and already have a reraiser. Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Jul 9, 2017 |

If you look at the last 4-5 banners you have all the units they probably feel you should have, if you whaled enough to get them of course. Tidus for damage, Wilhelm for provoke, Rikku for reraise, Tilith for healing, and Zargabaath for buffing. Gumi's masterplan is coming together. BDawg posted:Why Lunera over Rikku? She seems to be pretty amazing. Lunera post enhancements becomes slightly less effective Ramza and pre-enhancements can sing for HP and MP which isn't bad. She's also a hell of a chainer with her 20 hit skill. I suggested Ayaka mostly because he didn't menion Tilith in his lineup so I'm guessing he doesn't have her.

Nuebot posted:I'll have to report back on my chaining results now that I know this hot tip. I was always trying to get her to hit at the end of everything, not after the max combo. Unless the game's changed, you hit the max multiplier after 10-11 hits in an elemental chain, so the majority of a perfect Orlandu chain is all the same multiplier which is part of what makes him such a crazy good chain unit (aside from the insane damage DR puts out on its own).

Xenothral posted:Oh right on. I'll probably give the spear I put on him to Gilgamesh instead then. Ashe is fine for now (one of her moves is a decent chain skill and healers your party) but Grace you'll want to replace with a good attacker and Rosa with a good healer eventually. Lasswell might be better than Grace for damage dealing.

Yea, Zargabaath did seem like an interim Ramza replacement with how his skills were designed, as well as a bit of a Rikku replacement. I actually like his design, pity I didn't pull him. I do have Tidus, Rikku, WoL, & Tilith though, so this is mostly just wanting the team to run even smoother with Ramza singing. Gonna need to figure out who's going to MP restore, unless it's just Tidus doing it.

Lasswell would be so much better if they made Purple Lightning an ice weapon.

Kelsus is actually pretty solid, especially if you don't have a ton of TMs. Innate dual wield, easy to awaken, good elemental coverage. Edit: Just noticed Rikku. She should be a leveling priority. hamsystem fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Jul 9, 2017 |

You'll want to start working on Ludmille's TM, Dualcast and get further into the story so you unlock Fina as she's going to be your best healer until you pull Refia or the next FF14 raid comes around. Cecil and Snow are also not bad to get good as you could use a cover tank/side healer and a provoke tank. Your first TM squad should be: Gilgamesh - Genji Glove Zidane - Dual Wield Ludmille - Dual Cast Cecil - Excalibur Rikku - Rikku's Pouch After that you'll want to get Chizuru - Blade Mastery, and Miyuki - Sakurafubuki.

Looking and thinking about what TMs you might have I think I'd probably roll with Wilhelm, Rikku, Rain, a healer, and either Kelsus or Emperor. Kelsus could probably chain with Rikku a little. Dualcast black mages tend to do more damage until you get the physical TMs grinded out.

The dualcast is primarily for healers, right? My healer is tilith and iirc her spells cannot be dualcast, so im wondering if i should just sit on it for now.

Dualcast has kind of lost its value, and it will only continue to go down. It's still a requirement for older healers like Refia, but going forward Healers start to get Innate Dualcast or at least Innate White Magic Dualcast. Mages, meanwhile, already started getting Dual Black Magic innately for a while and I don't think that changes.

CAPT. Rainbowbeard posted:Where does Rem fit in here in your opinion? Outside of an ABILITY reraise she doesn't have a whole lot going for her even with her global improvements. I'd put her lower below Yuna/Eiko/Garnet in terms of hybrid support/damage/healing units. Yuna/Eiko/Garnet can finish harder than her because Yuna has access to her summon bar abilities while Eiko and Garnet are summoners that can use Bahamut for insane finishers, much stronger than Rems pseudo ajas or boomerangs, without requiring the sort of prep Rem needs. Rem has weaker rezzes than Garnet and Eiko, she doesn't have the ability to strip buffs or debuffs like Eiko, she doesn't have the ability to reduce elemental damage like Yuna. She has the reraise going for her that sets her apart from them and I dont think its enough since it locks her into that act for that turn.

Also managed to max out Orlandeau and Fryevia this weekend, awoke Rikku to 6*, and now working on her and 5* Ashe. How to gear up Fryevia? Pure ATK, pure MAG, or try to find some split between the two, and what Esper for her? She's got the Enhancer at least.

Optimal weaponry is dual wielding x2 TMR Needle*, but most often you will see Enhancer + TMR Needle So far no one suggests using her Atk/Mag passive boost wielding a single sword. *I am not including Rod Mastery and Emperor's TMR

So, I'm looking at the fan-designed character Circe, which was presented as the first contest winner at the French Fanfest. Her limit burst guarantees random chance abilities always use their most potent attack. In other words, this means that Circe can guarantee Setzer's 666666 attacks on Double Dice+2 and Ace's 1200% multiplier on Tri-Beam Laser+2.

Finished one of my Shine TM's yesterday, other one was at 95.3%, I was gonna be out all day so I left my lapis-refresh tmr macro running. I come home 11 hours later, and Shine has gone from 95.3 to 96.7, yay. Chorizo went from 23% to almost 53.4% though fake edit: last ditch pulls with a few tickets to see if my sometimes amazing luck kicks in and I get Tidus: Two golds in a row, Amelia (Olive gets a new dress!) and... Beach Fina? I thought the summer skins were like, a one week only thing? Cool, I guess. Also, Wakka number 6? 7? Something like that. double fake edit: 3 golds in a row: Amelia #2! But I don't dare combine them because what if Balthier comes out soon. Whatever, good problem to have.
