I already did one 10+1 pull on the XV banner (ended up getting Notctis OSB & Glad BSB), should I do another on the XV banner or pull on the Type-0 banner? Also man there are so many renewal dungeons. Trying to get as much Mythril as I can. Are realm dungeons going to be 1/2 off soon?

They usually go half off around dungeon updates/lucky draws, and the next is predicted to be in a bit over a week (Nov 7, I think). The draw should be FF6, 7, and 13.

Type 0 has three characters: a great fire mage, a really good healer, and a really good wind dragoon. If you want/need any of those things, then it's worth a pull, as it is a very focused banner.

Was Cloud's BSB1 one of the first BSBs? Is that why it's just deals physical damage.

I recommend soloing emperor. LD Cid Raines BSB is more than enough DPS for the fight which means everyone else can be healing or support. Having better control of the phase shifts and no lag makes the fight trivial. Bring Rikku USB if you have native wall and use it after each dispel.

I've started prioritizing at least one LD per element to help solo multiplayer fights. Luckily Bartz and Cid Raines covers 6 elements between them. Lightning covers lightning so all I really need is a good ice candidate before I look at doubling up on weaknesses or focusing on support. Hopefully I get Vivi USB soon, he'd be perfect. Shame Edea's dive and USB is underwhelming.

Sorta tempted by this Type O banner since good fire magic is something I'm lacking aside from trance-mode Vivi chaining Meltdown. What are the actual odds of me getting a relic that would be useful, though? I don't really need any other healers since I've got Yshtola, Vanille, and Eiko with their BSBs, and I'm super set for physical wind stuff, so I'm not sure if pulling here is a good idea or not. On the other hand it's not like there's a bunch of other banners full of fire mage stuff, either.

After getting Ward BSB on a 100 gem pull and Nine BSB on an 11 pull of T0, who should I throw my next MC3 at (when it comes up as loot tonight)? I'm leaning towards Nine as I have a lot of options for earth damage already.

On the Type-0 fights, after the victory riff it goes into this wonderful minor-key chocobo theme. Does that exist somewhere on Youtube? I haven't been able to track it down but it sounds enough in-tune with the other music from that game it might have snuck in as a bridge somewhere.

I've got two Legend Dive related questions: -I'm a few dex motes away from finishing up Delita's dive (I've collected all his relics while pulling for other characters, and he's put in a lot of work since then) and I was planning on keeping his LM1 (boost spellblade ability damage) and LM2 (w-cast spellblade) and not use his LMR (increase attack proportional to spellblade abilities used). My reasoning is that between his USB and whatever other buffs I have going I'll likely hit the attack softcap, making the LMR superfluous, whereas the LM1 boost is applied after the softcap and still be effective. Is my understanding of the attack softcap rules correct? -I've got a shitload of bravery motes and was thinking about diving either Ramza (everything but his BSB) or Setzer (everything but his LMR). I use Ramza a ton but his dive isn't too exciting other than a stat boost, and Setzer is a fantastic debuffer but always seems a little squishy. Does anybody who's dived them have any regrets? Or are either super awesome post-dive?

Stopgap posted:I've got two Legend Dive related questions: The fact that Ramza makes both Shout and History's Truth buffs last 40% longer means you can switch between them during long fights and if you have another source of Hastega you can just chill out and cruise along and do whatever. His stat buff LD also affects the stat buffs of any RW he calls, so you can have him call your RW Wall and it will last 40% longer. His LD is deceptively awesome.

The attack softcap is low enough that I don't understand why any of the +attack legend materia exist. Is there an edge case use for them? If a full dive + non-synergy 6* + 1 boost hits the cap why go any further? I'd much rather have % damage or % double cast.

KPC_Mammon posted:The attack softcap is low enough that I don't understand why any of the +attack legend materia exist. Is there an edge case use for them? They're still good for cid missions a lot, where you might have very limited access to the full suite of hastega, boostga, wall, and medica. Sometimes you just have to sacrifice one or two, and when using characters you don't have great stuff for there's a good chance they're not dived very much either. In that case, something like +20% ATK can be pretty huge.

dragoons determination used to be amazing back before you could stick a 95% ATK boost on a team without really trying and "good synergy" meant having two 5* swords.

There's also the fact that it's a stat softcap. It isn't a hard cap. For comparison's sake, a +50% Attack buff which comes in entirely below the soft cap increases your damage by almost 100%, while one which is entirely above the soft cap increases your damage by about 20% (both values IIRC). It's a much-reduced benefit compared to being below the cap, but it's still a benefit and can be substantial.

8 Jumpstart, and not strong against ice? Hoo buddy, this will be nuts. Squall, fully dived, 715 attack. Rinoa Ice Chain Kiros BSB Y'sh Ramza with Shout/USB. Squall's ramming over 2,200 attack after magicite buffs + burst mode + Ramza/Kiros buffs, with +20% ice damage from his armor he took from Snow. Dunno if Kiros and Rinoa will survive, since they're 64/65 each, but have to have some sort of handicap with Squall raging out hardcore there. If only I could eke out another 200 attack so I could triple the softcap. Kumog fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Oct 30, 2017 |

Even a 64 Kiros can get 70k BSB entries on this JS. Can't argue with it being a good 30 boost to the chain too, which would have been hilarious for me if I would've RW'd Cloud USB on Squall. Really should have, but used Eiko USB instead in case Adel decided to have fangs. Edit: gently caress, did the math, Squall would have, at minimum, done 59k/hit with CMD2 to Adel had I used Cloud USB. Not even factoring in the chain, Squall was doing 9999*2 with CMD1. Each hit in CMD2 after him triplecasting C1 is a tad over 3x power, so minimum 29997. Add in 50% crit bonus and 30% bonus for Cloud USB, 58494/hit. Times seven. 409459 damage. Factoring a chain bonus of...30 (I had it over 60 before the fight ended, but lowballing it), that's 76042/hit. 532,295 damage. Adel only has 450k hp. I really should have done that, but eh, not burning 60 stamina when I can't record it. Kumog fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Oct 30, 2017 |

Dumb question, but is there an easy way to tell when I should bring a + element RM vs a + skill type RM? I'm looking at my Sealion team and Celes has her BSB1 for fire damage, along with a Red Jacket for + fire damage, and +fire damage magicites. She also has her legend dive for +9% spellblade damage. Do I pick a + fire RM, or a + Spellblade? Does it matter?
