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

I ended up going 8/34: Galuf SSB, Dorgann SSBx2, Faris SSB, Bartz LMR, Bartz BSB3, Dorgann BSB, Bartz USB.

That's actually a really good haul for me with only one debatable dud (Faris SSB, which I even may end up using if Global doesn't get the gem-only BSB Select draw or Zack's BSB isn't on it). Galuf's SSB has some use against Shadow Dragon when that comes out, Dorgann's sword is the only native +wind sword in the game, Dorgann's BSB is very rare +earth armor, Bartz BSB3 shores up my extremely weak Earth team, and Bartz USB is great. And Maximillian exists, I guess; it's actually worse than Bartz's LM1 in a lot of situations.

How usable is Bartz USB without a BSB? I pulled it and I'm not sure if I should chase or not.

Extremely. You need nothing else.

I'm definitely on a roll again. Dollar draw got me a disco ball - Faris USB. This might be enough to make me save my 300+ mythril for later banners.

Can one guy have two different en-elements at once? Like if I use Bartz's unique then use his BSB2 or whatever, will I have en-wind and en-earth or just en-earth? or vice versa.

Plus now I got this USB to worry about and working that into the equation. Should be fun.

Nope. All Attach Element statuses are exclusive with each other, so they work exactly how Haste and Slow or Poison/Sap/Regen work, where applying one completely overwrites any other Attach Element on the character.

Ugh. At 162 myth. No dupes on banner. Nothing in the banner would help me do CMs, but my overall melee for V is kinda weak and I don't have great wind or earth melee options...and then I see a pull like that? FINE ILL PULL DAMMIT.

Ooo, first pull got me a chicken knife, Dorgann SSB, and Faris LMR. Very nice first pull. Still gonna get greedy later and go for more. Would be super nice to get Bartz BSB's and LMR.

Threw 3 pulls at this and was planning on up to 5: Faris USB, Faris LMR, Faris USB, Bartz LMR, Dorgann Wind+ Sword SSB, & a pair of Galuf Invincibility SSBs.

I stopped after the Faris USB dupe because the game was clearly telling me something at that point.

Against all my normal restraint, I did 3 pulls. Because restraint is what got my 416 mythril burning a hole in my pocket

Pull 1: Butz LMR, Galuf Invicibilty
Pull 2: Faris Imperil
Desperation/Rage Pull 3: Faris LMR, Butz BSB3. I'll take it.

Meanwhile I single-pulled Bartz' Earth BSB to go along with his Water BSB I already had. I don't have his broken rear end setup but having multiple elemental options is making him a good multipurpose dude. I'm cool with this.

Alright, the first banner I've rolled on this week-old account. Time to get some weapons to get through these early-ish stages more easily, or help out with clearing the 90+ diff events. Cloud's starting to lose his edge and Tyro's a supportbot, so I could use the help.

1/11: Galuf Jujitsu-gi.

Y-yeah, that works too. I guess. Thanks, banner.

Ok, pulled again, and now I'm really torn. I now have Bartz USB, Bartz OSB, and Bartz LMR. I could reeaaallly use those BSB's for their enelements and extra casts, though. But I now have four dupes on this banner including the two main prizes.

I know, it's the non-problem problem.

Zurai mentioned that you don't need the BSBs to make him top tier. It kind of makes sense, outside of jump start two bars is awkward to get running and the BSB commands are weaker than just using 5*. You are trading enElement for the ability to start your combo in half the time / twice as long.

Alright, good point. I'll pass on those. I really shouldn't be pulling with 4 dupes on any banner, after all.

This does mean I need to start actually being good about running dailies again, though. I've been neglecting my spellblade abilities. Guess I'm now in a situation where I need to not do that anymore.

I'm excited that the V banner is starting the day before my birthday! I already have Faris' first USB and BSB, and I use her all the time, hoping to kit her out with LMR and USB2. Bartz has been great with "only" BSB2 and his en-wind SSB, so his kit being on the same banner makes it a fantastic target for me.

Quoting myself for context. I did two pulls right after it came out, got just about everything except Faris USB/LMR. Decided to do a cash pull just after midnight. :parrot:

Total haul: 11/34
1x Faris USB
1x Bartz USB
1x Bartz BSB3
1x Dorgann BSB
1x Bartz BSB2
1x Bartz LMR
1x Dorgann SSB
2x Galuf SSB
2x Galuf SSB

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
Oh god I finally got the 3CM Red Dragon. I should've read the fight properly and saved myself quite a few attempts. Was too scared to use Fujin's BSB commands because the twister counters leave your anus in ruins but of course he doesn't twister counter from magic.

Another key point was the "weak to ice from 70% onwards". Prior to that I hammered him with all my four ice twinshots at the start of the fight.

The party was as per KataraniSword's suggestion:

Ramza (SSB-SSB2-USB)
Lightning (BSB2-OSB) RW CloudUSB 2x
Fujin (BSB)
Selphie (SSB)
Irvine (SSB)

<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!

With only two 1/11 pulls giving me Dorgann's BSB and Faris's SSB, I really feel like I should try for a third. But unfortunately, I know that I'm just going to get burned again. I was so hyped for this banner, for the chance to get Bartz back to the front headline of my team, but it was not meant to be.
