Elephant Ambush posted:

Ok so I'm considering Legend Diving Vivi. I only have his BSB and LMR but from what I've seen he's a good LD even with no relics. I'm also 1 or 2 black crystals away from honing Meltdown to R3.

Here's the only thing holding me back: I don't know if he'll help me beat anything. I still have yet to beat the fire and earth magicites and I have plans to Cloud USB Retaliate the fire one and use Fujin BSB to beat earth. I'm not sure if Vivi will matter against the dark and holy magicites since I have a fully Legend Dived Raines with BSB and OSB.

Suggestions?

With proper luck I can sub-30 Golem with SB-less Vivi and Fujin BSB, with no-relic Edge as my 3rd DPS

"Mathman's not here." "Oh? Where is he?" "He's in the Mathroom."
I didn’t really have a pressing need to pull on this banner. Everything seemed to indicate that I was so much better off holding this mythril for potential FFIV rage pulls. However I calculated that I could have enough mythril for three FFIV banner pulls.



The instinct, as always, is correct!

Weren’t we supposed to get five mythril with this dungeon update for the introduction of FFX-2?

"I'm thirty," I said. "I'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor."


So like, I don't mean to bitch about a great roll, but I have literally 2 USBs in all of FFVI, X, and XIII so of course, somehow, I get a dupe Tidus USB. How.

At least it's a decent stat stick now I guess.

Is Wakka's burst okay?

It's a very first-gen BSB, so absolutely nothing special. I guess it'll save you ability slots if you need to run something like Affliction Break.

Braska SSB (Hey, faithga.)
Fang BSB (How does this compare to other enwinds like Luneth and Cloud?)
RIKKU USB. WHY. HOW DOES THIS KEEP ON HAPPENING TO ME. I DON'T DESERVE SUCH A GOOD RELIC.

Welp, I guess now I have zero reason to keep a paladin on my team for both halves of Proshellga. Noctis is going to be a great damage dealer... when I get around to beating Omega Drive.

Poochy ain't Stupid.

Terra USB, Hope OSB (dupe), Jecht BSB, Snow BSB. :toot:

Even if my fire team is already pretty stacked, I can't say no to Terra USB. Might mean instead of pulling on the Terra/Locke banner I pull on the Sabin/Strago banner. Or if we get that Terra/Yuffie fest banner, I don't think that had Terra's USB on it. Ice+ armor from Snow is nice too, and Last Stand is always nice to have.

More non-rod mage 6*s and Blitzballs though. I'd love to get some better stat sticks.

1/11 SSB is pretty bad. Do you have his BSB?

+10 mag from mastery is actually OK in my case. I have a full set of +dark and +holy gear for him but they don't leave him with much mag so every little bit helps. I'd rather not use +mag accessories when I could take status or elemental resist instead.

+ice armor is what made the pull for me. Sadly it doesn't have any mag so I'll need to run the numbers to make sure Edea can hit 6 times with her BSB CMD1 while using it.

drat there are some crazy good pulls going in in here, I'm jealous.

Went 4/11 with:

Cyan BSB
Terra SSB (my 6th one :argh:)
Edgar SSB
Fang SSB

I wanted an excuse to use Cyan once in a while so that's not bad. Edgar's SSB is my first imperil poison, which is...something, I guess. I've got his BSB and Quistis' BSB so maybe I'll get some use out of it on the 1 boss per year with a poison weakness. Fang's SSB might actually be useful for jump starts since I have her BSB with an imperil on it. I already have a metric shitload of +wind gear so that isn't a big deal, but that's a first-world problem.

I have his BSB, in fact it's an 8*....

+10 mag is OK, and another raines bsb would be worse, but still...

Yeah the BSB2 is considered the better one. Runic plus the bsb commands is really good. Maria's Song (her first one) isn't too bad for an early bsb though.

I ended up with Umaro bsb/11 which I guess is supposed to be situationally good for the single-target spammable instant cast?

Sabin OSB is the second best physical Fire OSB out there. It's got its uses.

Habs 2006: Cristobal Persuasion
Sazh SSB (the sirius sidearms, protectga and haste) and Nabaat SSB. Kind of a dud pull, but I got Nabaat's BSB during fest so it's not a total writeoff. She's still stuck in the giant queue of people I need to level up, though.

edit: actually it seems like a useful debuff/extra bit of damage for someone with a dark imperil. I would have really liked something from 6 but I had an idea I was striking out there, so this is Good Enough.

1/11 disco. Cool! Great! It's... Fang's OSB. My uh, third copy of it. So I guess I have a maxed out spear now? To give you an idea, it's literally the only base 6* item in XIII that I owned already.

gently caress this game so hard. Every single draw's been a bust since the second fest LD.

SERIOUSLY THATS DISGUSTING I'M TRYING TO EAT
Got Cyan's USB and Locke OSB

The OSB is a bit whatever, but solid enough.

Cyan's USB looked initially disappointing, but I thought I'd give it a crack anyway. While this is probably not its intended purpose, turns out you can pull off one hell of a retaliate strategy with it.

It has a native +50% crit damage, which stacks very nicely with Cloud USB and the extra +20% damage you get from high retaliate. Pair it hailstorm and a few double hits and you've got yourself the best approximation of the psycho cyan bug possible in FFRK.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndepI1jRnXw&t=5s

Level 76 cyan with a 3* dive only doing 11000 per retaliate proc, 40,000 per warring flame and a tasty 128,000 damage with boosted USB cast.

That said, the hype is a bit dead when it comes to Setzer, thanks to Magicite, and the game leaning away from breakdowns in general. But if the game ever pivots towards break vulnerable high end content, my boy Setzer will be ready.
