Between Bartz and Tidus OSB plus Cloud USB RW, I was able to roll over this Yojimbo JS battle so trivially, even though he silenced and killed my healer immediately after I got Protect up, before I could heal even once. Ramza's Chant bubbles enough to keep me alive long enough for those other two to deliver back to back Pent-9s while Tyro's OSB pretended to help after getting Wall off too. It was much less of a hassle than last week's, for sure.

Man, why didn't I realize earlier I picked up Tyro's wall at some point? That made Yojimbo a lot more manageable.

acumen posted:That's what I was saying shortly before the last fest, then pulled a Paladin Cecil USB and Terra USB. They held me for a bit but since I run a physical team starring a juiced up Ramza they're not that optimal, but are still my best offensive USBs. I'll have 200 mythril in FFTA to determine if I'm gonna keep playing. Heroes is a cool game. There's a constant stream of free stuff and improvements. It's like three days since I grabbed a great free 5* unit from one of the game modes and we're getting a free top tier 5* unit tomorrow again. A few months ago they released by far the best unit in the game that broke the meta and formed a new one single handedly. Heroes' Cloud USB if you will. They gave it to everyone for free. But I don't want to start another gacha fight here so try it out if you feel like it maybe. Back to FFRK. The upcoming FFTA-1 banner is the best event banner we're getting until the OK god banner so if you're pulling for power here's where you want to go. One could argue it's even stronger than the next FFT banner featuring Orlando's Godly Excalibur which is in traditional TGCid fashion pretty pushed. Have a review. Agrias USB. Enholy, single target -50 atk/mag, knight +15. As much as I hate to admit it as Agrias fanclub self nominated president this is not the relic we're looking for. It's good for the content breakdowns are eligible for. A strong + holy sword at least. Marche USB. This is the next big thing. Single target enholy and 15 second EX-Mode that gives the usual atk+30 and hi-quickcast 1 to your front row after using a knight ability. Hi-quickcast is triple cast speed or TGMode speed if you will. Since you'll run this in a physical front row team your entire team's damage dealers have Thunder God's Might. Experiment putting your healer to front row too. Enjoy. The enemy won't for sure. Ramza USB. atk/mag/def +30%. Oh and party instant cast 1, that part is kind of important. The buffs stack with everything else except one specific thing and giving your party powerchain is unbelievably powerful for every content currently available. A rather strong katana as a raw relic. Ramza BSB2. Shout 2. Literally does everything shout does (party haste atk+50) except is faster to cast and has enholy and burst mode on top. One command is strong attack with no gauge gain and another is wrath. It's incredible but the value is diminished if you have Shout already. One thing to consider is that there are stronger party buffs on the way too so Ramza needs to if not give up the phys buffer crown then at least share it with OK and Quina a bit later. Marche BSB. Single target, party atk/mag 30. CMD1 is a triplehit +15% knight for 3 turns. CMD2 is a 2hit sentinel. It's good but not the greatest. At least the commands have utility to go with the ability meta. Agrias BSB. A dated but still decent BSB. AoE 4-hit imperil holy. Easily capable of clearing multitarget JS fights for you as the sole DPS. CMD1 is 2hit sentinel, CMD2 is 2hit res increase so you can just use CMD1 for the sentinel and go to Guardbringer mod to your imperiled target. It's +holy but unfortunately really weak since it's an old sword. Meliadoul BSB. A strong but not incredible support BSB. Entry is random atk/def -50%. Commands are 2hit PBD and 2hit enemy atk/mag -20. Everything in this thing stacks together but unfortunately the debuffers are kind of shunned in the current meta. Ramza LMR. Start every battle with full ATB and instant cast 1. Arguably the best LMR in the game. Incredibly versatile, absurdly powerful. RW instantly when the fight begins? Sure. Cast BSB2 giving everyone haste immediately? Sure. You get the point. Agrias LMR. 25% chance to double cast knight (holy and earth coverage). It's extremely good. Marche LMR. Knight damage +25% if using swords. You're always using swords. It's extremely good. Marche SSB. Nurse is a weak % based medica with esuna and a defense buff. It's the 1/11 dream of this banner. Acceptable if you have no other CM heals but this is the one thing you don't want to see that liar Dr. Mog pull out of his weird space board thing. Ramza SSB2. Chant gives stoneskin and improves your critical hit damage. This is a JS all star complementing Cloud USB strats well and a decent stat stick on its own. SSBs are 2% the rest 1% chance to draw for a total of 14% 5* or better.

I'm not sure who to LD next. I haven't done a lot of the torments so I have enough motes sitting around after beating those to probably LD 3 or 4 more people, assuming they're spread around the different mote types. I'd like to do a healer but if none of the options are good then I can wait until I get a better one - I have no healer USB's. I currently have these LD's completed: Raines w/BSB, OSB, SSB Lightning w/USB, BSB2, 2 SSB's Bartz w/USB, OSB, Water BSB and old multi-element BSB My best non-LD'd characters, potential candidates: Cloud w/BSB2 Tifa w/USB, Earth BSB Sephiroth w/OSB, BSB2 Edea w/BSB Tidus w/CSB, new BSB2 Lulu w/USB Ashe w/BSB Refia w/BSB Terra w/OSB, BSB1 Alphinaud w/BSB, SSB Minfilia w/BSB, SSB Noctis w/OSB, BSB Delita w/USB, BSB Orlandeau w/OSB, BSB, SSB Ramza w/SSB's Rapha w/BSB Tyro w/USB1+2, Wall Zack CSB Beatrix BSB Shantotto USB Healers Eiko BSB Vanille BSB Yshtola BSB/Wall Iris BSB Penelo BSB Ovelia BSB Deuce BSB Relm BSB/SSB Rosa BSB Yuna BSB Any suggestions?

Yshtola, maybe, if you could use a healer. Not like she needs her USB - you have her key items already. I dived her and I don't regret it. Iris maybe instead if you want the Astra (I don't remember what her dive is it if it is useful though). If you don't think extra healing will help, though, maybe don't. I'll let someone more qualified suggest damage folks to dive out of that set.

Some of those people don't have their dives available yet (like Alphinaud and TGCid). Of the list, I think Tidus is the only one probably worth diving, especially after this ability buff tomorrow. The general rule of thumb I think is whether this dive will help you complete more content (or faster) and I don't think most of these will make a big difference, especially since you have Lightning covered elementally. I'm not familiar with Seph's or Tifa's though.

I'm not sure many would argue that this one is stronger than the latter, but I'd be interested in your take on how. Sure, if it was worth reading it was worth writing. The FFT Alma Banner 1 (or Godly Excalibur banner). The shared relics are Marche USB, Ramza BSB2, Marche BSB, Ramza LMR and Marche LMR. So what's new is: Orlando USB ST, critical=100%, atk+50% (unlike everyone else's +30. remember that these bonuses stack with everything) and knight/darkness ability double meaning you 100% dual cast them with two ability uses spent like Shantotto/Vivi USB etc. So you double cast strong holy/earth/dark abilities with 100% crit rate. The only downside is the rough hone requirement but the upcoming dailies should mend that somewhat. As a bonus all of the entry damage is 100% critical too. It's godly like the relic name Godly Excalibur suggests. High attack +holy sword. Alma USB or "that thing with all of the things on it". Hastega, Shellga, Protectga, hi-regen, astra, reraise. Unfortunately Reraise is trash since reviving with no buffs will just end up with you dying again. Astra is really strong but it's hard to appreciate here since it doesn't heal or boost your team while doing it. I just wish it was instant or had something other useful instead of reraise like a heal or hpstock or a blink or guts. What I'm trying to say is this combination of effects is not worth 500 SB points in most scenarios. +holy staff so grabbing it for your holy mages to spam multihit holy with isn't the worst. Orlando OSB The good old Thunder God. Dual element holy/lit OSB with a ridiculous multiplier of 14. This lets Orlando do heavy lightning damage too as he can use the downtime to spam Thundering Quadstrike which he of course has access to because why not let's give him all of the skills. After casting this OSB you gain Thunder God's Might which gives you triple cast speed for 25 seconds making this essentially a USB. It's still great. Strong +holy sword. Alma BSB Curaja medica and Mblink. CMD1 instant curaja CMD2 medica. A great healer BSB, very familiar. Orlando BSB An oddball BSB. I won't list the abilities but the point is the SB and its commands are powerful but slow to activate. The dilemma is it's completely unusable without the OSB's triple cast speed but just chain casting the OSB (not to mention the USB) is just as good if not even better after the ability update. Has no place in the game anymore except some fringe JS entry damage usage. Gaffgarion BSB ST endark. CMD1 2hit smart ether, CMD2 1hit aoe and ally heal. Dated and unimpressive outside the enelement. +Dark sword though old and weak. This thing should not be here. Orlando LMR Finally back to the good stuff. 25% to dual cast knight and darkness. It's extremely good with the USB since you'll crit every attack which makes you hammer the damage cap quite hard and without Cloud's help this is the way you go past it. Alma LMR 27% for Mblink1 on single target heals. It's a nice bonus to have when throwing out some Curadas. Alma SSB 10% holy resist and 3000 hp stock. It's acceptable for CM healing. Relic has silence resist which is nice to have for a healer so not a total trash pull. Just a 95% trash pull. 14 items with 1% each for a total of 14% odds. I feel like there are more bad things in this banner than the FFTA-1. Ramza's USB is a heavy loss even if Orlando USB is a big gain. While I would give the minor edge to FFTA-1 this is still an extremely solid banner especially considering what we have available right now like the X-1 where after Tidus' stuff things fall apart fast. Hogama posted:Not that it improves it that much, but I'll point out that the entry buff is a very rare party atk/MND instead of MAG. The only other character who has one is Aemo and we don't even have her in Global. Oops, good catch. I agree with your statement regarding the matter. Bruceski posted:Looking at multiplayer raids I've seen people posting "have L/S" or "no wall, rely on L/S.". What does it mean in that context? Lifesiphon doesn't make sense, nor load/save since it dumps the raid. Last Stand I would assume in this case ("guts")

It's worth noting what Orlandeau 1 loses over FFTA1: Agrias USB Ramza USB Agrias BSB Meliadoul BSB Agrias LMR Marche SSB Ramza SSB2 All of these are on Orlandeau's second banner except for Marche SSB, which wasn't that great anyway. The main problem is that it splits your focus over two banners, which is especially a problem if you're gunning for Agrias relics or Ramza USB along with the overpowered Marche/Ramza stuff. NZT covered what's actually on the banner and has mostly the same thoughts as I do over it. (  also TG Cid's OSB has a multiplier of 15, not 14. as if it needed to be stronger. The only other OSB that strong is Noctis's, and his is non-elemental so it can't be boosted in any way.)

If you're not having trouble clearing content, IMO save the motes for when you need help to clear something or push for better magicite times or whatever. Or, wait until you pull new shiny toys and dive that character/those characters. Diving characters with old SBs that you won't use much going forward or diving a healer when you're not having issues with healing seems like a bad idea. I don't know if we start getting 5* motes in larger supplies though.

I also have Aetherial Pulse and used to feel the same way but recently if I've used 500 SB points from my healer to cast a thing that does not actually heal you I've instead asked myself the question: Do I actually need a healer for this fight at all or can I at least run a weaker healer that provides buffs to my DPS? Often the answer is the latter in which case the LD wrathcat gets the boot and in comes Yuna with mag/mnd +30 bsb2. Also you'll need to consider what boost/faithga to run with Alma's USB to avoid overlap since you definitely still need a damage boosting thing or preferrably two for the harder stuff with no synergy like magicites.

Wrath access makes a huge difference, yeah. Without it, Alma USB means you have to staple Dr. Mako's Might onto her in order to pop the buff suite at the start of battle, since you'll never really want to use it instead of a medica unless you're starting out (unless you don't need a healer, yeah, in which case wow you want Quina/Rikku/etc USB instead) and in turn, having the auto-gauge materia on her makes her healing slower since you can't use something like Ace Striker or TG Cid Mode (or even Doublecast White) on her.

Ice To Meet You posted:Apparently if you stack enough water debuffs, Seymour will still take damage even when he's supposed to absorb water. Who knew? It's a sliding scale, from -100% (full absorb) to 200% (weakness). Each level of imperil adds 20% to your damage (unless it's stated as 'minor imperil' like with Frost Offering/Spark Offering, in which case it's a half-step of 10%) The only way you'd be able to debuff from an absorb to damage is if it was a 50% absorb or less, since it caps at 60%. Snazzy Frocks posted:you usually have to attack your own teammate that you want to eat the KO To clarify, usually Shadow Dragon runs involve Raines using his BSB (and thus using Memento Mori to buff up) or Orlandeau using his OSB (and thus using Dark Bargain for a buff). Heal up whoever takes the dragon's first attack, use Divine Cross (or Draw Fire) to soak the third, and the second is a %HP Attack so it doesn't change Black Fang's targeting. Then you just smack your sacrificial monkey with the given Dark-element buff move and they take the fall, every time. As an example, my Shadow Dragon team is set up like this: Onion Knight (Shellga/Entrust, Mako Might) Beatrix (Divine Cross/Guardbringer, +30% Holy Damage RM, with LM2/BSB) Orlandeau (Saint Cross/Dark Bargain, +30% Sword Damage RM, with OSB) Ramza (Wrath/Entrust, Dr Mog's, with Shout) Y'shtola (Curada/Protectga, Gathering Storm, with BSB) Turn 1, OK entrusts to Cid, Ramza pops Shout, Y'sh pops RW Wall. Orlandeau fires off OSB as soon as he's able, and Beatrix times her DC to land right after Shout sticks. Turn 2, OK uses Shellga, Y'sh uses Protectga, Orlandeau smacks OK with Dark Bargain. By this point Ramza and Beatrix are in a steady rhythm ("Wrath-Wrath-Entrust to Cid" and "just spam Guardbringer", respectively) and will stick to that for the rest of the fight. By this point, both the initial attack and the AoE gravity have hit. Turn 3, Y'shtola uses Curada on whoever got hit before Divine Cross went off, OK dies, Orlandeau starts alternating SC and his OSB. If by some miracle OK survives (it takes a crit on Orlandeau's part or two doublecasts on Beatrix's) then he runs support and does things like summoning Enkidu and refreshing wall if needed. Otherwise that gets fit in wherever Ysh and Ramza can manage it. Beatrix drops her SB when her bar is full but otherwise sticks to Guardbringer for the rest of the fight. It's entirely consistent and I can routinely get about 33s, and get sub-30 in the circumstances that OK survives (he can entrust a little more gauge to Cid with that single spare use). A single piece of kit (Marche USB, Ramza BSB2, Ramza LMR, even Agrias USB/LMR in tandem) will probably push me to reliable sub-30 territory.

The requirements are Raines, any secondary holy dps (I did this with either Beatrix or WoL, just bsbs and 3* dives with similar results), your choice of hastega (I use Rikku now, but Tyro USB also worked for me), entrust bot, and choice of healer. You should have a bunch of dark res accessories (I got most from the renewals), curada, gathering storm RM and hopefully enkidu and holy boosts (armor and magicite). Once you get the rhythm down it's pretty much the same start each time. Hastega Entrust Raines Raines casts MM on designated person (I choose Rikku) Gathering storm on your secondary DPS casts wall Curada anyone but the sacrifice (or shellga) Anyway, you need wall up so that the lamb doesn't get killed by MM. The bot can get the other holy dps burst going and with sb RMs, the healer should have a SB up soon. If you have tgcid you're in a better position then me. This strategy is very tweakable. iamsosmrt fucked around with this message at 01:10 on Nov 28, 2017 |

I just got around to making serious attempts at shadow dragon last week, and after some experimentation, I've got a strat that avoids black fang with 100% reliability with Orlandeau OSB as the only specific relic required. Here's what else you need: a legend dived Shelke a piece of +holy armor (remember, Orlandeau can equip robes!) a 30% stacking attack buff, ideally with hastega attached, though in theory it's not strictly necessary I had two magicites with attack boon lv 10, not sure how much of that I actually needed Here's my specific setup: Orlandeau (hailstorm/powerchain, OSB, truthseeker) OK (protectga/shellga, BSB, dr mog) Yshtola (curada/boost, BSB, ace striker) (yes, boost, the 1* support ability) WoL (saint cross/guardbringer, USB, scholar's boon) Shelke (wrath/entrust, no relics, mako might) Shelke will go wrath>wrath>entrust to Orlandeau, with the entrust landing before Orlandeau's second turn. As for everyone else; Orlandeau uses powerchain, OK casts his burst, Ysh uses boost on Orlandeau, WoL casts Ellara's wall. On Orlandeau's second turn, he should have either just under or just over two bars, depending on if he or Shelke got hit by one of the dragon's physicals. He proceeds to instacast his OSB, then either cast it again next turn or throw another powerchain in between if he needs more gauge. With good input reactions, the second OSB should land right before black fang would hit. They should hit for ~60k each, doing just enough to knock the dragon past the threshold. After that, it's fairly straightforward.

How does the math on stat boosts from equipped magicite work again? Specifically what portions of each magicite are added from which the final percentage is drawn?

The main magicite's stat and half of each sub magicite's stat get added together. Then the stat bonus levels get added together, with the highest one adding its full amount, the second highest adding half of its amount, the third highest adding a quarter, etc. You get 1% of the total stats per total bonus level, added after buffs. So Attack Boon level 10 gives 10% of the total ATK.
