StriderVM posted:I remember playing this game semiconsistently from release and then quit after a few months after that........ Ways to get stronger: - Pull for items. Every time you get to 50 mythril, pull on a banner. Alternatively, do so when there's a 25 mythril Lucky Draw. Important thing is to always pull 11 items at a time, because this guarantees at least one 5* item. This way you get soul breaks on dudes, and then focus on using dudes with soul breaks. Alternatively doing $1 pulls on new event banners is probably the most money efficient way to spend cash on the game, though that does not guarantee the 5* items (only about a 14% chance) - Never skip sundaily (and maybe tuesdaily). Get that sweet EXP. - Do other dailies when you can, to get orbs to hone skills. The more uses the better. Aim for rank 4+ for 3* skills, rank 3 for 4* skills and rank 2-3 for 5* skills. I also gave someone else a little bit advice regarding gameplay on higher difficulties. It migh be a helpful read: Attestant posted:140+ is where the real meat of the game really starts.

Catching on the pulls since mine. Seems to be one of the unluckiest draws in goon history.

I am going to weep for joy when Tactics gear finally stops being on every lucky draw banner. I think my last 3 LDs have netted me only Tactics gear, and I haven't pulled on this one yet but I just know I'm somehow going to get more Tactics. Please game, I have enough for like 3 fully-synergized teams now.

I ended up getting Orlandu's BSB and a SSB for Jecht. My Orlandu is now complete.  What's the best way to combo his BSB and OSB again?

Depends. If you're not atk softcap, go bsb to OSB to bsb CMD 1 twice. If you're at softcap, use OSB into BSB and cmd1

XIV A+: Big fan. Gimme more bosses that slightly resist everything so you can push them to weakness with imperils. You can build multiple working synergistic teams and have fun with such fights. He was a bit of a pushover though. I RW'd wall but forgot to reapply it as he wasn't doing much through constant Ysh wrathed out bubbles.

2/11: Cypress Pole and Sin's Fang. Still no FFX BSB or better. But that essentially caps off my Mage team: Cid Raines BSB Rapha BSB Krile BSB/SSB Terra USB/OSB Healer BSB or Tyro USB/BSB/SSB I can even switch Terra for an Alphinaud BSB if the boss is heavily fire resistant. So I can have 3 or 4 stacking MAG buffs, still have 1 or 2 Support 4 users for breakdowns, and a wide selection of RWs to bring along. Mitigation may be a little lacking but this party should be fun.

Stacking breaks will always be more important than stacking buffs unless you are capable of blitzing the boss down

Snazzy Frocks posted:Stacking breaks will always be more important than stacking buffs unless you are capable of blitzing the boss down Careful with those absolute statements  There are bosses which are immune to debuffs (and I'm not talking about Nightmare bosses here) as well as ones with 80% resistance to debuffs on the way.

Protectga and Shellga reduce damage more than Power BD and Magic BD. You should still always use both but I always put up proshellga before applying breakdowns. Gives my boostga unit time to buff ATK so the breakdowns do a little more damage.

Bahamut D300 was definitely a flat-out DPS race for me. Sadly I only got 10 spirit motes out of it since I couldn't fit both Luneth and OK and still put together the absurd Cloud USB combo, but considering the alternative was probably not finishing it at all, I'll take it. I can definitely see it being a viable option for bosses that hit hard but aren't giant HP sponges, even if those seem to be pretty rare.

2/11 on the DU Lucky: Dupe Zidane BSB & Garnet BSB2 Because I definitely needed more synergy in my most stacked realm.  I'm not complaining though, my Garnet is getting ridiculously stacked now that I have her SSB1, BSB1, and now BSB2.I haven't been doing hard content in ages due to being distracted by other games and just not being motivated but I really need to fix that at some point.

When are we expecting more Torment dungeons? I couldn't find any mention thereof on the usual spots like kongbakpao and I ran out of time to try the upper levels yesterday. (Seriously, I dunno why I was being so timid because I stomped 200 Bahamut on my first try even with a few suboptimal decisions on ability selection.) As for the DU Lucky, I got 4/11. Nothing too special though, just Beatrix BSB (not a dupe but I already have Agrias BSB)/Jecht SSB1/Ovelia SSB1 (a dupe that I combined)/Gaffgarion SSB.

The Lucky got me yet another Saintly Excalibur, a Kuja Punisher that is far from relevant for my purposes, and Beatrix's OSB. Since she was already in my holy team, now all members of it have an OSB. Which is... good. I think.

Boogaloo Shrimp posted:The B in OSB stands for "Bad". I have like 5 OSBs and I think the only one I actually use somewhat regularly is Terra. RW BSB->OSB to fire weakness pretty much means death to those bosses. The physical ones I've gotten/witnessed in MP are like 90% disappointing outside of TGCid.

This was an odd lucky banner Kimahri Burst: is this good? I don't know anymore. I know kimahri was the joke of the game but imperil water combos nicely with Tidus. Shout: a bit late. I had the mage hastegas, Raines BSB so I could make a good mage team but I never could stack shout and cloud USB. Should I kick out Tyro from my team if I have yshtola Wall now so I can use Cloud friends? 3 Damage (Orlandeu + Vaan + whatever) Ramza support and shout (previously Tyro with Wall USB and wrath to alternate) YShtola Wall, wrath then BSB

Lucky Draw got me a dupe and Zidane SSB. I had almost nothing for IX, so that's at least something. I have been fortunate in terms of pulling 6* relics, so I'm not stressing out much about any banners right now.iamsosmrt posted:I'm not sure I can really do a modern FF game anymore. X was my last one, way back in 2007, maybe, I tried XII and dropped it pretty swiftly. Heck, I started re-playing FFIV a few months back but only really have time pick it up maybe once every two weeks. The lack of play and go convenience basically dictates only phone games like FFRK get any consistent playtime for me. I'm somewhat content with these games primarily existing for nostalgia purposes. Not to veer too far off-topic here, but you can play FFXIV for free up to like level 30 now. If you're really that casual that you'll only play once every two weeks, well, it will probably take you a year or more to get through the free content, so all the better!

Fuuuuuuck this game, and fuuuuuuuck me for chasing Cloud USB. Blew a ton of mythril on that banner, even worked overtime at the start of the DU to get another 50 mythril, and now I am 7/10 on the banner overall after 4 11-pulls and nary a USB in sight

Why is the UI so laggy and awful in titan MP? Opened cloud's SB menu, tapped his BSB2, and it made me use hailstorm as if the menu never opened. It's ok though, not like he used Geocrush before I could use BSB2 on the next turn, causing half the party to die and everyone to quit.  e: At least the next run cleared it, despite having an Alphinaud who, after getting his BSB, proceeded to alternate Bahamut and Aetherflow for the rest of the fight. And another player who used Orlandu's BSB, then his OSB a few turns later, then lifesiphon spammed while OSBing occasionally. There is no goddamn way those people would've cleared without me carrying them with Cloud.

Lucky draw netted me Tidus' CSB, a dupe Hamelin, and Zidane's SSB. Luckily no Tactics stuff this time! I dunno what to think of this CSB, it seems kind of underwhelming compared to Zack's, but I do have Tidus' OSB, Yuffie's BSB, a Golden Hairpin, and R3 Sapphire Shot, so I'm probably going to be able to do some gross stuff to any boss with a water weakness. Zidane's SSB seems like garbage but I've got his BSB so +10 attack is fine. Dupe rod is a bummer since healer dupes are like the least useful combine, but ah well, not a bad haul for 25 mythril.

Because it was Sephiroth basically. Although as old as that thing is it may also have been a case of AoE SBs still being pretty rare and coveted.

Honestly the rate at which even newer relics become obsolete is the main reason I'd never spend any real money on this game. I can't imagine looking at some Vega 42s moldering in my vault and going "yep, I paid $25 for that" let alone the insane amounts some people spend chasing things. That reddit thread routinely has people spending multiple hundreds of dollars on a single banner and it blows my mind.

Evil Fluffy posted:Is it an anti-phyiscal boss or do USB cloud setups just laugh at it? Neither, really. He's not anti-physical at all, but his attacks are fierce enough that you may not have room for the full cloud USB getup and if you fail to kill him in one short burst of attacks he'll hit a character with an attack which deals 8000-9000 (piercing, debuff-proof, ranged) damage. If that character is Cloud, well, better reload!

That reddit thread routinely has people spending multiple hundreds of dollars on a single banner and it blows my mind. I used my Vega42s pretty heavily until Shout came out. The meta relics take a very long time to stop being good. I don't see Cloud's USB becoming obsolete without a fundamental shift in the game's design. I think a Echo was originally going to have a SSB that was Wall plus haste or something.
