Pulled on the Crystal Tower banner - got Sarah BSB in the draw, and selected Yuna BSB2. Then I realized I had Palom/Porom BSB (the one that also has the faithga) and I was all

It is REALLY nice to be able to take down Fenrir for free with a mage team. I can finally start farming up Enkidu. Being able to hit the magic cap with the entire team is really cool and fun and having a pile of 99 magicites making everyone even better feels great after all the frustration I've experienced with other magicites. I'm also going to experiment with the Cloud USB Demonsblood strat for Living Flame. I almost got it to work against Omega Apex so I'm pretty confident I can do it against at least one magicite. Finally having Y'shtola's BSB has made everything in general so much easier. Her full Legend Dive doubling her BSB commands allows me to basically solo heal a ton of things I couldn't before.

Of course you may not actually have Shadow's BSB, but more generally you'd do well to find some high speed effect in your arsenal and then amplify it as much as possible.

MIght take a while depending on how well you can buff both attack and magic. On the other hand Bismark's lacks any of the status effects of the other magicites, opting instead for more mixed elemental damage, so you can take it a little slower and try for a battle of attrition.

I'm really glad Ashe got 4* witch, incidentally. I max ranked both of the 4* witch skills for the magicite dungeons and they've been way more useful than the 5* ones so far.

Trying to decide on my gem banner relic, what's the consensus on Delita's USB/BSB combo? I drew the USB during the fest and it seems to be made to pair nicely with the Burst. The issue I'm having is I'm already all-in on spellblades; I fully decked out Bartz (LMR and Bursts 1-3) and Squall (BSB2) so I'm worried another dual-spellblader is just overkill. Plus he lacks en-element. My other considerations are Master for the non-elemental damage or something with Last Stand.

Doesn't sound like you any overwhelming good alternatives though, so that's where my vote is going for you. He can at least cover elements for Magicite (at least on paper). But yeah, there's unfortunately not much out there about Delita's effectiveness.

The XI torment is a real bitch. I couldn't do it so I picked Prishe BSB from the CT selection betraying Kain, a person who would never betray anyone. I still can't do the drat thing. Holy crap are there many things that can go wrong here. Maybe I'll just settle for a 2 CM and do it later.

I ended up doing it with a mixed elemental team. I had Locke BSB and Celes BSB2 at the same time with Cloud USB shenanigans. Fire imperil wasn't enough to take down the dragon in the 300 but Celes flattened it really easy.

Did Prishe contribute anything of value? It's still on my radar with Larsa, Beatrix and maybe Sarah for my choices. I'm leaning towards Beatrix for need, but there's good reason for me to pick any of them.

How in the absolute gently caress did you guys beat this Chandarnook Jumpstart? He's continually killing my party before my very first commands go off. If I get lucky and manage to sneak out wall+proshell, he immediately swaps to Godess form and all my queued attacks kill me. This is really goddamn frustrating!

Fully-dived Agrias, Cloud USB RW + Divine Ruination BSB, lighting and status resist gear, Tyro USB (the status evade one), Affliction Break, then good timing to blow his doors off with Agrias and USB.

I'll try to see if I can round some of the rough edges with my strategy but the randomness makes it hard. I'm running a fairly low power team so your experience might be better. MegaRamza Lightning with OSB and ice/fire R2 shots (gently caress the airy shield though) 80 Prishe with the fresh BSB 80 Ayame 80 Aphmau The fire/ice weakness really screws me over. Lightning isn't very good here but still seems like the best pick considering her high stats from the pile of mastered soul breaks.

Meh, maybe I'll try more XI later. For now I took the 2 CM replacing Ayame with Vaan (BSB). With Ayame on board I could kill the Seeker using one Cloud USB and no SBs from Lightning. You'd think one Cloud USB, 4 Ice Twinshots and 3 Lightning SBs could take down the dragon but that thing is built like a brick shithouse.

Ysh'tola and Vanille each have their bsbs available here and they are pretty much the gold standard in healer bsbs for different reasons. Ysh'tola has been my primary healer for a year now based on the strength of her bsb, wall, and wrath access. saltylopez fucked around with this message at 21:41 on Oct 5, 2017 |

Basically what is the best one for a newbie? Assuming you have absolutely nothing the best pick in a vacuum is Yshtola's Healing Circlet (Asylum). When you build a team it goes something like this: Suitable DPS Suitable DPS Suitable DPS Support Healer The DPS slots come and go based on the fight and whatever you are lucky enough to pull. Yshtola with Asylum is good enough to be your main healer for as long as you'll play the game. If you already have another healing Burst Soul Break (BSB) you should look elsewhere though. I'd recommend Beatrix in that case as she's a strong, versatile character with a wonderful BSB.

i think beatrix/agrias's bursts are getting a little long in the tooth by now for a new player i think larsa's is very interesting, keeping in mind that status blink is fairly rare, and while asylum is strong you can usually get enough healing from non-yshtola sources.

I spent a while last night agonizing over Larsa vs Y'sholta and settled on Larsa because I think I'm more likely to pull on an XIV banner and I'd really want Stoneskin for Ysh anyway.

Relevant characters: Auron BSB Galuf BSB For obvious reasons Gilgamesh BSB, USB for drawtaliate which might curb the 4 physical attack nonsense Noctis SSB, USB for Insta party spam, mostly (problem is the Phy immunity for a while) Vayne SSB, BSB for another party Insta and more mage or fighter support Penelo USB for insta healing Marach BSB for debuffing option Reks, Ramza, and Gladio for +Atk Not sure if any of my other characters would be relevant. I'd love to bring Vaan to this but he's only level 60. Zidane seems useless, and my other mages are also under leveled. Thanks for any help, friends!

I'm kinda agonizing over the choice because I literally pulled three new healer BSBs on the medica lucky and that was my only real luck during the festival, but I also have Kain's and Agrias's (i.e. Beatrix's) BSBs already so i don't know what damage option I'd actually take other than Orlandu. Which, eh. None of the damage options are as useful or interesting as the healing ones, and most are on characters I don't like or from games I don't care about. I prolly woulda taken Leila or Edgar just for the novelty of a poison one, RIP.

Nihilarian posted:Orlandeau's BSB looks like it would work well with his SSB, which I already have, is that the case? ehhhhhh The OSB works so well cause it covers the whole BSB duration (and does a shitton of damage on its own). The SSB is pretty cool, being instant and AOE, but it's potency isn't OSB tier and it only affects the next two actions, not the whole BSB. It's better than nothing?

Alright, so my decision is basically between Fujin, Kain, and Orlandeau I guess. I have OSBs for Fujin and Orlandeau, and it seems like Orlandeau in particular has a good combo there. But wind magic is rare, and Fujin's relic has +wind that requires no synergy, which is kinda nice. I don't even know if Kain's BSB still holds up, but I don't have a ton of physical lightning stuff and it's also a +lightning spear. What should I go with here?

Would love some help: I'd probably build a party around Galuf and Auron. Takes a little more setting up to get around the immunity but their BSBs should tear through its hp once you do. Assuming you have a SB for Ace that makes him relevant you might be able to put Chadarnook in its very weak phase (after it takes 275k damage) mostly just using the SBs themselves, which locks it in demon form.
