Yay? Still freakin' lacking Y'shtola's BSB.

For academic purposes:

Sarah's Light Robe (I)
Arc's Staff of the Magi (III)
Rosa's Perseus Bow (IV)
Ceodore's Enhancer (IV)
Porom's Zeus Mace (IV)
Lenna's Nirvana (V)

Ovelia's Mage's Staff (FFT)
Deuce's Deuce's Akademia Uniform (Type-0)

Nothing changed from the JP banner save the absence of Echo and Aemo's respective BSBs.

(Also, I pulled Larsa and Ovelia, both new for me)

Ovelia bsb

No dupes but already have Rosas bsb so Porom is a bit useless

It's in the garbage. Where it belongs.
Porom, Iris, Larsa. No dupes.

That's really good. I only had one BSB to begin with so Ysh will probably enjoy the rest too.

I like the option of having astra or 30/30 with the healer.

I was worried about a third hasteboostfaithga for the crystal tower but if I use Deployment Tactics, Porom BSB and Tyro USB2 that should cover it. Mage team of course.

Not bad I guess but I don't think I'll be using these anytime soon. Really was hoping for Yuna or Iris since I have Yuna's USB and Iris' LMR. Oh well!

Nice choices. Sephiroth is a bit of an oddball among a bunch of heroes but sure.

Lots of enelement+OSB power packages.

If I could pick one now I'd go for my boy Pecil despite it being a low power level choice.

Also watch the eventual GL version have Tiny Bee in it

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.



Ceodore BSB
Aerith BSB
Relm BSB

No dupes

Now I have 4 aerith relics, with this easily being the best by a huuuuuuuuuuuge margin.

Relm has her USB and now bsb, so she'll see more use I think, especially as my best source of last stand.

Ceodore's bsb is now my best offensive melee weapon in IV, and it seems pretty great too. Love off-healers. May fit right into the IV torment, I've only done the 200 so far.

2/11, Arc and Larsa's BSBs. Arc will be nice for Cid Missions, and Larsa is my first source of Astra, so pretty handy pull. I'm really surprised I didn't get any dupes since I have 6 medica-entry BSBs already.

Grabbed the Bard Draw: Sarah BSB and Deuce BSB. Nice to have some Type-0 synergy since I skipped the banner and Sarah is pretty nice too with the Mblink and instant Renewing Curaga.

This means I actually care about getting more bard motes now because I have stuff for Tyro, Sarah, Edward, Cait Sith and Deuce, so someone is getting shafted now.

Not exactly what I wanted but no dupes is always something to be happy about (especially tomorrow where I fear a Cloud, Squall and Lightning BSB1 dupe).

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

Schwartzcough posted:

Might be worth pointing that it's actually SEVEN percent, not seven-hundred percent. Each hit does 7% of the combined damage he did with summons during the EX mode. And apparently his burst commands are considered R1, so it mostly wants you to bring R5 summons and just hope the battle ends quickly.

And can Luneth use any wind abilities of any note except slow jumps, or his own BSB? I don't much care for that USB, since using the slow 6* (or upcoming 5*) jumps will eat up his EX mode like nothing.

It is super easy to cap Alphinaud's USB final strike, since the entry counts, as does any +Summon damage Alphinaud has in his dives or materia slots.

Luneth can record dive to Spellblade 5 so he can also use Tornado Strike.

First Day: 3/11 (Dupe) Yuna's BSB2 and Iris' BSB (times 2).

I would've liked getting something for XII, Tactics or the older games, but I won't complain for stopping being an Irony with my first native Astra.

Thanks to everyone's help a few pages back, I was able to take down the Hydra Magicite boss in about a minute with Bartz, Galuf, OK, Ramza, and Rosa (with only her SSB but ye gods). Took it down two more times with the help of dampening effects from the magicite I gained, and now I'm eyeballing either a certain blue whale or his icy sealion counterpart. Here's how it looked:

(Ramza NOOO)


So far I've gotten 2 Hydras and an Enlil, as well as a Ymir for beating the third one in about 45 seconds, as well as a bunch of 1 stars. I figured with my luck so far, might as well give a shot on the Healer Lucky (even though I've got Y'shtola, Larsa, and Aerith already)... hit 5 orbs, and, well, uh:


:derp:

Not a *single* dupe among them, and finally I've got stuff for 4 past Rosa's SSB and Cecil's SSB and Overstrike! Sucks that I used up all my Lucky Draw luck on this banner instead of the next two, but you pays your mythril and takes yer chances

Aphmau is Yuna BSB2, but with ST Lightning/NE damage that scales off MND, and a Cura on the Activation cast of CMD1.

It's basically a Medica to stick on your mage team (or Lightning team) for the extra Faithga. The MND boost helps Aphmau heal more on the commands and second cast.

Basically CMD1 for the Cura then CMD2 spam, and you'll get a Medica command with extra splash damage.

1/11 wizer rod; a mediocre pull in a vacuum but I avoided my 5 dupes and vii is one of the very few realms where I still lacked a native medica, so I'm happy with it.

I went in 4/18 and got 2/11 no dupes. Porom and Aphmau, which are pretty similar to each other. Can't complain though, I've been wanting one of these healer faithgas and now I have options for my Magicite teams.

It now adds another dupe to my Banner 4 of the fest which leaves me probably not doing a single banner pull. Oh well, more mythril for future OP banners.

It's a good pull. Some people have leaned on her BSB2 as an extra boost for Magicite clears. Now I need some better mage relics.

1/11 for Ceodore's Enhancer. I needed neither more holy relics, nor more FFIV non-Rosa relics, nor any BSB without AoE cure commands.

Basically this was the worst possible draw I could get for this banner. I'd rather have a dupe for one of the three healer BSBs I already have so at least they'd have a better stat stick. All the rest of the items were 3* as well.

Terrible start. Hopefully it doesn't continue like this.

Think I'm skipping this lucky, there's 4 dupes on the banner and that includes Yuna, Vanille and Yshtola's, so I don't think there's anything on this banner that would be of any use to me in regular content / magicite.

There's a few that would be nice for doing CMs but that seems like a bad reason to pull.

There's more than 4 good relics on this though? I had mistilteinn and asylum already but drat a half price pull on at least 1 guaranteed burst just seems like a good way to be.

I use Yuna's BSB2 on mage teams if I need either extra healing or a lot of AOE damage. If you use the summon x2 rm you can get some nice damage out of her. I've been leaning on her medica entry to balance out Relm's B&B'S cura-level healing. She has a nice balance of healing and damage, and she makes your mages hit harder and your healers heal better. If you have her SSB2, that's just a nice emergency backup if damage is getting too intense.
It's honestly one if my favorite BSBs, it provides a lot of utility.
