They confirmed Marie enhancements even though she's not in the pic. I'll have her enhanced and ready for the Marlboro fight as soon as it's live.

Told you they were going to double 5* the Neir banner. LOL at them doubling up on the 4* slot too. That's loving hilarious. They knew people were going to roll for 9S so they made it twice as hard. gently caress this company for this poo poo.

Also where the gently caress are my Gilgamesh enhancements. loving Marie and RANDI. God dammit. We should all be aware that Ramza(and now Lunera) isn't getting his until Roy hits so there's no surprise there.

Roy is three months out according to the JP release schedule. He came after the last story update and Bahamut esper was released.

I am the morning sun, come to vanquish this horrible night!
Ramza' enhancements in JP absolutely trivialized so much content, they were way too good. I don't expect to see him get the enhancements for another couple months.

I will be enhancing my Marie and sharing her for this trial boss, so if anyone needs full status immunity with some wicked support, try her out!

And I'm pretty terrified, I have 40 tickets and 2 11-pulls to do on this banner. I skipped a bunch of pulls on the Veritas banner 'cause I need my waifus. I'm very doubtful I'll walk away from this banner happy though.

It was obvious they were going to double 5* it the second they announced A2. I'm still hoping the second 4* will be in the raid gacha.

Welcome, late stage lightning friend

Lightning is an easy fix, they have to give one of her passives 50% attack (or better yet 30 + 30 if she's dual wielding swords/gs + guns) and extend the hits on crushing blow and its frame times to match other chainers(damage doesn't need to go up that much) Considering how strong an imperil she has and the popularity of units like Sage Sakura she would get a high rating on just those two things.

Very first 5* in the game and she's showing her age horribly in both her initial design and her enhancements.

Scraped up four tickets and what's this, rainbow on the last one?

Lunera.

Was hoping for DV but I think I can work with this.

Think of it like this: If you didn't have Ramza yet you're now covered for when we get the bard enhancements. Her buff's only 90% vs 100% but as I mentioned in a prior post a few days back, Lunera with enhancements is a serious mana battery (and healer) while also providing extremely good buffs via her main song. Hell she can probably do that right now without enhancements, I just haven't had a need to use her yet. (plus who knows when gumi will give us her enhancements, let alone Ramza's)

e: unenhanced, Lunera's song is AoE ~1350 HP Heal w/ 10x Mod while Singing split over 3 Turns & AoE ~30 MP Heal w/ 0.6x Mod while Singing split over 3 Turns. That 0.6x mod s pretty significant amounts of MP when you have even 250 SPR on her. 250SPR is round 1283HP and 60MP per turn IIRC.

I'm at 23k Lapis, 98 tickets, 1 4*, and 11 EX tickets. I know I should save for Nier, but I kinda want to take more stabs at DV, even though I have 2 TGCs and pulled 2 EVs, 2 Vickys and 3 TIMMAYs.

Cao Ni Ma
May 25, 2010



Honestly if you already have a TGC your best bet is trying to pull a DV. TGC + DV will be good for ALL CONTENT even 10 mans as your main source of damage. A 9S or 2B wont be nearly as good.

And we just got a demon killer accessory a couple Mog events ago. Might be able to do some pretty hideous damage to this guy.

E: yeah I wouldn't call it "surprised" so much as disappointed that gumi did what most of us expected. Diluting the nier banner sucks when pretty much everyone was gunning for a 9S or two. Have to wait for the full info on the new 5* to see how it stacks up.

It looks like the offense buffs and defense buffs are paired 1turn buffs, so if both offense dances are fully enhanced I think it looks like this:
Turn 1: use atk dance - atk +100%
Turn 2: use mag dance - atk+mag +120%
Turn 3: use atk dance - atk+mag +120%
... And so on alternating between them.

Powerful but limited, since if Soliel does anything else the buffs are gone.

at this point it is incredibly obvious ramza enhancements aren't coming until post roy, and i am starting to think it won't even be the immediate enhancements post roy.

Can someone put up their 100% dodge character for Gilgamesh. I am desperate for his bad rear end weaponry and yet I am unable to handle the man himself, I read a while back about this 100% dodge making a fool of the man and then finishing him off with a LB. Is any kind soul available to do so? And perhaps with an open friend spot if I am not already your buddy?
