I am Gachamandias, pull of pulls. Look upon my 3/33, ye mighty, and despair!



Nothing beside remains.

CONTEXTUAL EDIT: That is four points higher ATK, before rosetta bonuses, than the standard 6* Chicken Knife V. It is a single point stronger than the 6* Saintly Excalibur T, without the +Holy (or synergy instant death proc). Both of those can rosetta higher, being USB/OSB weapons.

It's not even an impressive statstick, and while one was great, three spread over 150 mythril and nothing else was war crime levels of torture.

i am now at 6 dupes on the banner and all i wanted was the ramza stuff so i am trying to figure out if i can justify it too but i dont think i can because i still want to save for vivi stuff

Yeah I think I’m better off waiting for the Orlandeau USB banner than chasing USBs with a third pull. Plus right now I’m happy with my pulls, adding a 1/11 dupe pull would just sour that.

Nah, I’ve never had that much. Probably sunk 200-250, though. Only taken the occasional month away.

So got that Shout but Better on the dollar pull, the 11-pull netted me Agrias LMR and Marche USB. Gonna go ahead and call this banner a success for me.

Well I was trying to save for whatever New Years shenanigans we get, but...

2/11, Marche USB+LMR, Ramza USB+SSB, Agrias LMR. Completely worth it, it’s nice to finally get a LMR that’s actually useful to me.

Does anyone know what Marche’s USB is coded as? Cuz if it’s Knight that would rule.

Do you mean the damage part? Just physical. Physical SBs don't have an ability type, except for some dragoon SBs that count as jump damage.

Thanks, that’s what I meant. I was hoping it could buff itself like Kain’s USB but I didn’t realize Kain’s was an exception.

I am really going to be kicking myself over LD'ing Beatrix days before pulling Marche's USB and BSB. Like she's still good and all and I have her BSB but drat.

I guess now I'm going to have to chase Beatrix relics whenever those show up again.

Thankee kindly.
Beatrix shows up on every IX event. No joke, ever since it was first released, her SSB has been on every IX event until they phased out SSBs completely.

Her USB is still solid though and I'm on the fence on diving her anyway since I have both her SSBs and her BSB.

It’s almost dizzying I have so much to do on Ramza. He just needs to keep Super Shout, History’s Truth and Chant up while BSBWrathing and in theory breaking or Entrusting.

Ramza needs arms like an octopus for all these actions.

Yeah, I want her USB but I have no idea when that shows up again. She's still really good with just her BSB, double-casting Guardbringer is brutal. It's just that Marche is flat-out superior for me now, feels like I wasted a shitload of motes since I doubt I'll ever have room to bring both of them (I also have Cid Raine's BSB and Orlandeau's OSB competing for "dealing a shitload of holy damage" and I think both of those are probably better).

this was actually most of the reason i wanted his bsb 2, it kind of combines shout and infinite wrath into one doodad, so he can spam history's truth and chant on the side while freeing up an ability slot for something

I'm a fairly new player, with very few 5* items. I decided to give this banner a pull because it seems like everyone is pretty stoked for it.

I pulled 4/11:
Ramza's screech BSB
Agrias' BSB x2
Meliadoul's BSB

I have 50 mythril remaining. Is there any sense in pulling again, or should I wait for an inevitable awesome Christmas event?

2/11, Meliadoul BSB and Nurse. Ugh. Will probably make one more pull tomorrow.

YES my #1 pick!

Uh, now I have no idea if I should do more pulls or just wait.

Pull now:
- I value Agrias much more than Alma.
- better percentages on 12 items than 14
- I want to

Pull later:
- can just do like 6 pulls on Orlandeau lol
- Orlandeau
- identical ramza/marche list

If you're at three dupes, pulling one more time isn't the worst idea. The 6* items are amazing and you could get a lot of mileage out of Ramza and Agrias LMR now.

Looks like there were some goods and some bads. I hope you all enjoy what you guys got, but I'm still not pulling because I like Orlandeau more.

I also wanted to say that even though this event was mostly boss battles, I somehow got three RM2s from new characters while going through the battles. Pretty handy. Marche and Montblanc can easily sub into that team soon.
