Since I'm skipping Banner 3 despite wanting Tidus' stuff (I akready have Cloud USB and BSB2 and Zack CSB and BSB), I decided to sink the extra pulls into first one chasing Bartz USB and Ingus CSB. The end result was Bartz USB and BSB, Maria BSB, Ingus BSB x2, and Tifa OSB, BSB x2, and LMR. I now have a viable earth team.

As it is in JP now, everyone gets Sentinel's for free just from doing the library missions. Presumably they feel safe putting wall on more new relics again because it's baseline for every player.

This FFIV event almost has me as excited then those fest banners. Pecil's Wall + Medica chase USB and Flash Art skipping the Enholy stacking for a 2000 HP Stock, Decil's actual good Stoneskin gimmick SB compared to Noctis, Palom with a dualcast Black dive and getting the next Black Double USB, and Barbaccia finally bringing us a Wind Black Magic ability other then Meltdown. Even Fusoya gets a dualcast White AND Black LM2 which would be great with his old SSB, and a Enholy magic burst with Squall styled BSB commands.

Is anyone skipping the Festival Banners and going all in on the Onion Knight Banner? If Onion Knight's USBs are as good as people are saying it sounds like Onion Knight has a place in every party, while Chains, although really powerful, will only be used in certain fights. I would pull on both but I only have 150 mythril at the moment...

  Already chatted about, but the end of the year FFIV event in JP fulfills both outstanding fan poll decisions (Palom and Porom TAY wardrobe records, playable Barbariccia), gives Fusoya a LD and... a BSB!, and gives a sizeable boost for the Cecils, with a new Wall and another take on the Stoneskin=Power gimmick. Plus a wind black magic that's not Meltdown-  5* Black Magic ability, Tornado: 4 single-target Wind magic attacks Four new legend dives in this event; Barbariccia, Palom, Porom, and Fusoya! Legend Materia posted:Barbariccia LM1: Wind Damage +10% Banner 1 posted:Paladin Cecil's Excalibur II [UOSB, +10 ATK] - 3 single-target Holy Overflow physical attacks Banner 2 posted:
(note- Decil's USB gives pure dualcast in that it doesn't use an extra hone; compare with Palom's Black Magic Double, which is the somewhat more familiar USB "consume an extra hone for an extra cast")

Finally a FFIV event without Kain’s Abel Lance!  Banner 2 still has Golbez BSB and LMR and I’m not really hurting for his stuff. Still that’s gonna be a lot of mythril I’ll be saving for this event!

I wasn't exactly clamoring for Barbariccia to be made a playable character, but a doublecast LM2 and a USB with a damage chaser totally makes me reconsider. Also, there's a possibility of a novelty party consisting of Golbez and the four fiends.

Armitage posted:Finally a FFIV event without Kain’s Abel Lance! Yeah I hate that they're still putting on really outdated BSBs on some of these banners. Like not every relic has to be a homerun, but I think we're at a point where it'd be really nice if the duds of the banners were still decently usable relics contemporaneous to the current state of the game (everything should have something like en-element, imperil, party buff, skill buff, etc.) Golbez BSB was good at some point, but it's pretty lovely now. Not sure Pecil's BSB was ever that good. It's not even like having that baseline would make the dud/11 great, it just wouldn't feel completely awful.

 That lovely pull on the XIII ice banner actually helped me clear Fenrir  Wasn’t pretty but if I level my ice magicite maybe there is hope for a sub 1:00 clear.At least I won’t feel too bad when I get nothing on banner 4.

I remember people saying the same thing about generic 5*s. And then unique 5*s. And then SSBs. And now BSBs. In a year or so people will be moaning that USBs are still on banners.

Palom's is ok for certain multi-elemental battle niches. Golbez's BSB is pretty lovely even today, let alone 6 months from now.

jebeebus posted:Man, it's a little discouraging when you spend 240 stam only to net you a whopping 3 major orbs. I feel like I'd rather just stick to Torments for the consistent rates. Are you counting the greater orbs? Because every daily run stage I do gets me 6-8 of those, so like basically 4 major orbs for 240 at the absolute minimum, and there's no way in hell you should consistently be running into zero pots. Every pot drops 2 major orbs, so you only need to hit one or two to make up for it. I don't think I've ever spent 240 stamina without hitting at least 2 of them, tbh. If you get a really unlucky run it's worse than Torment dungeons, but the really lucky runs are *way* better and it's a hell of a lot faster / more mindless. I will absolutely take a small hit every once in a while if it means I can just hit auto-attack and walk away from my phone instead of having to pay attention for like 10 minutes, but this game is already on the borderline of "taking up way too much of my time" so if that's not an issue for you then Torments might be more attractive.

I decided to egg up Gabranth to 99 and muck around with the Test of Strength to see what I can wrangle out of him with his USB, Dark Bargain, and Dread Weapon. His biggest detriment is his blazingly fast 107 SPD at Level 99.

Rotating weakness boss medal conditions are the worst poo poo. I was Rainesing through some of the 6* ability fights today since I had a lull at work and no stamina. The meltdown guy is ridiculous. I could straight up 2-man him with Raines and a healer, but the mastery condition requires tagging him with lightning and water when he's weak to the element. I think "no problem" and bring along Terra with those elements. He starts out apparently weak to nothing. After I knock off a third of his HP he shifts to being weak to earth. Another 1/3 down he shifts to loving poison. Then he starts shifting somewhat frequently but it stops telling me what this means he is now weak to. Does him hitting me with fire mean he's weak to water or attuned to and therefore strong against water? I ended up just finishing him off since my doom counter was getting low. I guess I'll go back when I need the crystals.

Two days ago I farmed 11 or 12 crystals in about 9 total runs (900 stamina) which was awesome. Today, I've done 5 total and only gotten 3 crystals and it feels frustrating as hell. But I take a step back and realize I'm going for the chance to R4 Meltdown, and I might not even pull the trigger once I do finish farming. Without ViviUSB it's a complete luxury, but it's been so key in sub 30s for all of its magicite elements.

Ahh I did not factor those in, that makes me feel a little better. I suppose each 40 stam run should net you about 0.6~0.9 major's worth of greaters. It was still frustrating not seeing a single pot in 240 stam, only picking up 3 majors from the regular trash. But I know that's too small of a sample for any conclusion, I guess I just need to keep trying them to see how it balances out. jebeebus fucked around with this message at 00:49 on Dec 29, 2017 |

Now that crystals are so much more accessible I’m more inclined to use up the stash I have. I currently have Snowspell Strike at rank 2 and R1 Mug Bloodlust. I’m one Wind Crystal short for R3 Snowspell, plus I can do Curada to R2 and Omega Drive to R2 right away. I’m pretty sure aiming to R3 Snowspell, Curada and Omega Drive are pretty safe bets. What’s next after that though? Meltdown seems popular although the only mage I regularly use is Cid Raines. R1 Affliction Break and Quadrouple Foul seem useful. I have tons of job motes, 30+ of pretty much everything but Knight and the current Torments will give me 30 Knight motes.

Meltdown is really good but shares crystals with Curada and Mug Bloodlust. I've never needed Mug Bloodlust to be anything higher than R1, but Curada is definitely nice to have around. SSS and Omega Drive are definitely safe picks. Affliction Break is handy and I like having it at R2 since it only lasts 15 seconds iirc. I can't really think of any time where having more uses would have been useful. Quadruple Foul is useless, don't bother. The other totally poo poo ones are Aegis Strike, Reraise, Penalty Snipe, and Dervish. Lifesbane is, I believe, still just worse than Omega Drive, and most (all?) characters that can use Lifesbane can use OD, too. But you can only have one copy of Omega Drive, so Lifesbane works as a slightly worse second copy of OD in a pinch, I guess. Worth keeping one or two copies around in case they buff monk skills, probably. Sky High isn't bad but Aerial Strike is currently pretty much just as good (unless you regularly run weird all-dragoon teams) and only needs major orbs. Mug Bloodlust and Stitch in Time are situationally good but R1 should be plenty for any fight you'd want to bring them to. Valigarmanda and Neo-Bahamut are both quite strong - I haven't bothered making Neo-Bahamut since summoning crystals seem to be the rarest by far and being able to hit multiple elements, take advantage of elemental doublecast dives, and boost it with +elemental gear makes Valigarmanda more attractive to me, but there are some situations where Neo-Bahamut will be better, especially if you are easily capping all of the hits. I've never bothered with Ultima - it was total poo poo for a while and now I think it's basically in the same position w/r/t Meltdown as the summoning 6*s are. I know it's super good for clearing Torment trash but meh. Demonsblood is alright but I think I've only ever used it like twice and R1 was plenty. It's kind of clunky since you need a draw fire effect to pair it with, either from another skill or an SB, but there's some silly stuff you can do with retaliate and Cloud's USB if you have that. I wouldn't spend any crystals on it but you get it for free with job motes so it's not a bad idea to keep one copy laying around.

I made an attempt against Vetala that was going badly. The wrong people were getting hit with spells just before the heals went out, stuff like that. He had half his life bar left, so even though Bartz was Cloud RW'd up and raring to go I didn't like my odds. Bartz just had a sliver of life left and my healer was dead, he wasn't getting another chance and Zack and Tyro certainly couldn't manage it alone. Snowspell Strike, Snowspell Strike, Snowspell Strike, eight-proc on the USB chaser, barely killed him. 2% chance of all that (I don't have the LMR), but when it works it works.
