No dupes :shittydog:

I know Yuna's USB alone makes the pull (helps that I have her BSB2 as well), with Rapha's as my new mage shout and Aphmau's cool so I'm glad to have something for her. Plus it's nice getting some mage gear that's actually a rod or stave.

<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!

I pulled two great stat sticks! Save the Queen, Celes' OSB, is some desperately needed updated FF6 melee, and Selphie's USB is my very first healer stick for FF8 at all.

...and I guess Selphie's USB is pretty good, too.

4/22 isn't bad for luckies as far as they go. Now we'll see how the rest of this plays out.

2/11: Zidane OSB and Fang OSB

Was hoping for USBs (maybe Rosa's?) but this will work. I have Zidane's enWind armor SB. Apparently DeNA thinks I really need physical wind damaged as I went from having no physical wind BSB+ to 3 in 24 hours. I think I can finally take on Golem now.

Final tally for luckies:
Aerith BSB
Cid(IV) BSB, Quistis BSB
Cloud OSB, Fujin OSB, Faris USB2

Nothing super flashy, but not a terrible haul overall. The bursts are mostly going to be CM stuff, but my account is stacked enough as it is that CM stuff is all I really need to pull for these days. I'm amused that all of the 6*s are wind oriented. I think I've almost figured out my pulling plans for the fest, but there's a couple things I want to double check first: 1. Do we know when the second phase of the mythril dungeon drops in relation to the fest banners? and 2. Whichever one of the selection banners isn't gem only, was that a free draw, or full price?

BSB+: Decil BSB and dupe Garnet BSB2.

And I had nearly given up on actually feeling like this fest was going to treat me right but then, from on high in the clouds descended the 6* only Lucky . . .

Lightning USB/11

Having recently acquired Lightning BSB2 and LMR, it's time to :getin:

XIII: Raines LMR

Terra USB on its own is enough to field. The BSB isn't anything special, but if you don't have many hones of powerful abilities, spammable fire and water can carry you far.

If you have lots of spells to cast, you'll usually use the USB on its own. It's great.

Vaan USB is top tier. Literally makes all his thief skills hit for cap in most fights. Like all 5 hits of thief's revenge. If paired with Cloud USB RW he does even more damage.

Wow you guys did really well. I went 2/11 on the latest, Lulu's USB and Steiner's OSB.

Total haul was 4/33...certainly not the best: Lulu USB, Delita USB, Steiner OSB and Ceodore BSB.

Lulu's seems like top prize. Delita's is similar but no en-element hurts it. Looking up Steiner's OSB, it actually seems pretty decent; pretty high multiplier if you're hitting a weakness and it covers Fire, Ice and Lightning

gently caress, the third one came out already and I still need 11 mythril. On the right track though, been slacking on events

Anyway, the first one just got me a dupe Porom Burst, the second got me Noctis and Snow and in a blast from the past, the 1st Fusion Sword.

Is the Burst on Noctis good? I seem to remember one of the XV lads was meant to have a good one

Lulu USB by itself will kill fenrir with ease. I have dived her because her USB rules so much. I'd rather have gotten rikku usb off that banner but any bitterness I might have had is gone seeing how much insanely sick damage Lulu puts out with it. I also have her BSB but I usually just stick to the USB and ice witch magic.

2/11
Dupe ovelia USB
Shadow USB

What's the deal with shadows USB? I wasn't gonna pull on the ff6 banners so I didn't really pay attention to what it offers. Seems annoying to maintain mirror image all the time. I'm out of dark orbs to so I can't hone the new dark ninja skills.

Overall for the luckies:
L1: 3/11
L2: 5/11
L3: 2/11 (one dupe)

I'm happy. Just need some luck with the 30 now.

I've also got her BSB (and SSB). So the good news is I have a +Ice doll and +Ice dress in any realm. I can beat Fenrir fairly easily in about 45 seconds with:
Squall (BSB2)
Reynn (BSB)
Papa (Ley Lines)
Healer
Alph (Radiant Shield)

I tried this morning for a sub-30 build:
OK (BSB, entrust bot)
Ramza(entrust bot)
Lulu
Papa
Healer

I tried by casting USB, BSB, USB, Cmd1, etc. The damage definitely adds up but it's a lot to keep track; I'm just not good at it, but I feel like that team could get it done. I've died a couple times half way since I went with Slow resist but I might tried wind instead and cross my fingers.

Fenrir is one of the easiest magicites to no heal so long as you have Enkidu or Wendigo to heal or absorb an AoE.

Also, optimal Lulu use is probably using the fastcast witch spell until first USB, then alternating USB->slow witch spell-> USB with entrust bots feeding the cycle.

I use that exact same team for Fenrir and it's just shy of sub-30. Lulu has BSB + USB, full dive, LMR, and +ice armor.

The fun thing with Quistis is she gets Wrath access so she can spam the hell out of Doomtrain. Even better if you have her BSB for the EnPoison to go along with it.

Final Lucky Draw tally 7/33

Aphmau BSB and dupe Y'shtola BSB
Kain BSB and Steiner BSB
Yda USB, Vivi OSB, and Fang OSB

Game must really want me to use Fang since before the Dungeon update Lucky I had zero relics for her and now I have 3. I feel like Yda's USB doesn't really do anything without her BSB but maybe fires within is really good?
Overall I'm pretty happy with my pulls got some good relics is some realms that I was weak and 3 new BSBs, 2 new OSBs, and 1 new USB for 75 mythril is pretty dang cool.

These dentures won't stop me from tearing out jugulars in Thunderdome.



Just saw my 1/11 Jecht OSB in my inventory and got salty all over again. Who came up with this gigantic turd? A ranged weapon that only like 5 people in the entire game can even use, with a synergy-only elemental boost, so it's a 100% useless stat stick. Then the OSB itself is probably the worst one in the entire game, doing absolute trash damage unless you fill up your entire SB gauge first, which then makes every subsequent use much weaker.

Like, this thing won't even be useful for CMs for me. I don't think I would have payed even 1 mythril for it, let alone 25.

Fingers crossed for these banners and 30 draw, it's been a really long time since I've gotten a god draw and this would be the time for it.
