Well, I pulled two new relics in one pull to hit my hard limit of 4 dupes, so I'm done on this banner. Buuuuut...  Kinda wish I had gotten the OK or Refia LMRs for the 5* instead, but I got one of the OK USBs with just 50 mythril so I'm happy.

So I wasn't gonna pull on this banner at all cuz ive never chased after OK relics, idk i think his gimmicky nature just kinda put me off even though I've managed to secure a few of his things incidentally (OSB, SSB) but in commemoration of the first banner with no SSBs and the hope of maybe picking up something for refia, I made a single pull  Where do I get onion motes again???

 Finally, FINALLY cleared sealion as my first magicite. 36s too, could probably get sub 30 with minimal tweaking. Terra has her usb and osb, bartz has his usb and onion kid had his brand spanking new magic USB. Finally feel like these things are feasible.

Speaking of record diving - which of his...subclasses? (knight, warrior etc) should I train on onion? Or is this a thing where I'll get all of them eventually?

Avalerion posted:Speaking of record diving - which of his...subclasses? (knight, warrior etc) should I train on onion? Or is this a thing where I'll get all of them eventually? You'll likely hit all of them. The 3* ones you get so many motes for its not an issue but the 4* ones you'll have to prioritize. The ones to prioritize are Viking (Only 5* support use in FF3 atm), Gladiator (5* combat means lifesiphon and omega drive) and black mage (Onion knight is a good black mage when equipped right). Slightly less important is Ninja (Ninja Magic is great with onion knights high magic stat. Celerity, less so) and white mage (ff3 has 2 white mages already). Save Sage as the very last option because it doesn't unlock any new abilities, just stat upgrades. You'll only need it when you're ready to legend dive.

I went 2/11 on the Onion banner with an Arc LMR and a dupe Refia BSB. Never Pull. But I have 25 Mythril left over and make bad decisions so let's pull on the realm dungeon lucky.  Curilla USB Kimahri USB 2x Zeid BSB 2x Jecht LMR Always Pull.

I actually considered farming up mythril to try get another refia relic to go with her materia - but I’m probably better off just saving that at this point. On the hand ok usb means I won’t have to chase Ramza’s shout+ on that tactics banner... Think I see how people get hooked on this kind of gatcha crap, pulling (especially if you get something cool) is weirdly fun.

If you have Tidus' CSB Kimahri's USB is fine, he's just really gonna need to either use his BSB/Wrath/Waterga to contribute after that.

Dualcasting sage Onion Knight got me a sub-30 Bismarck: Vanille: healer OK: Chain Thundaga, USB Ashe: BSB Alph: SSB, Lightning summons Shelke: Entrust bot Good ol' radiant shield still does some work here I think, as Bismarck packs a punch. Just got Liquid Flame left. I'm experimenting with a no-healer run that might be close: Yuffie: USB Ramza: BSB2, Tailwind Bartz: Water BSB, full dive Tidus: BSB1 Shelke: Entrust bot I'm using the boost RW, but I've got no shell anywhere (Tailwind gives me protect). A counter Fire basically ends the run. I'm wondering if I swap out Ramza for Mifilia and her SSB, I'd be swapping Protect and some healing for Last Stand; zero mitigation whatsoever.

Looked at the banner this morning, realized there are still like 6 relics I'd like (3/4 LMRs, Ingus, OK pUSB, Aria) and decided one more YOLO pull if I got lucky doing crystal dailies. First stage I get a 2/3 power crystal run. Well poo poo. Did my pull, got 3/11 plus a disco!! Annnnnnnnd it was CoD USB, Aria BSB and 3rd Refia BSB. I can't complain, 2 non dupes on a banner with half the relics isn't bad. CM poo poo of course, but maybe CoD could be something. I'd have preferred her LMR though. One pull planned on Water, then saving up for Orlandeau and fest.

Cloud and Lightning will never be able to use 6* spellblade abilities even if you dive them to unlock 5* abilities, right?

Yup, since they lack the job mote access. I think that's the part of the reason they finally released a 5* Wind Quadstrike in Japan's latest fest along with his new Wind stuff. Can't have Cloud keep focusing on Wind without a single target wind ability. The exception are the Nightmare abilities (Combat, Celerity, Support, Black, White, Summon). Any character who gets access to 5* via Record Dives for those gets automatic access to 6* abilities, assuming you've completed the Nightmares of course.

Flavahbeast posted:Cloud and Lightning will never be able to use 6* spellblade abilities even if you dive them to unlock 5* abilities, right? Unless something changes in the future, correct. But this only applies to the secondary skills. As soon as you dive someone to get 5* magic or combat abilities they get access to 6* abilities if you've beat the appropriate nightmare.

Alright so seriously what do I do with OK now that I have his physical USB? I's basically a Shout on steroids and while that owns and I LD'd him I'm still not sure exactly what his role should be. I normally use his BSB and command 2 and spec him for magic so I can still do that but his USB doesn't seem to do a lot more for me than what I currently have. Am I missing something? Should I be looking at crafting and honing Dervish or something? Also I am over the moon about getting CoD USB. I LD'd it and honed up Dark Zone to R3 just so I can spam it and have all those rad chasers. I can also probably get an easy sub 30 on Mist Dragon with it but I haven't tried it yet. I had to blow all my stamina on the Wisdom mote dungeon to get enough of those to unlock its LD. I have CoD BSB too which I dearly love because it's a Radiant Shield for mages.

I didn't get this USB so take this with a grain of salt, but from what I've read and would guess, his physical USB don't really warrant the LD itself. You're using him more for the extra freedom and utility he brings as the one stop shop for physical teams. Basically, use his USB and then either make him an entrust bot or your de facto white mage for maximum effectiveness. Load up the rest of your team with top DPS options and you shouldn't need any or many other buffs on top of that plus magicite passives/armor boosts. You could use him as a celerity spamming machine, but the speed buff applies to anything, so he can be used in so many roles. Plus, I may have read the build up doesn't reset when you recast, but I could be wrong on that one.

1) Does his pUSB stack with TGC RM in a meaningful way? Or is it diminishing returns? 2) Would it be worth it to give him and shelke battleforged/ace striker, then have shelke do wrath-wrath-entrust on OK so OK can pUSB first turn and then be a more efficient entrust bot? (versus giving him MM, pUSB, then LS/wrath and entrusting?) 3) I have plenty of OK gear (pUSB, OSB, BBS, both SSBs) and can hone up pretty much any ability I want to right now. Should I maybe gear him for attack instead of entrustbotting? I could hone up celerity stuff, or LS to juggle his BSB and pUSB, maybe with an SSB thrown in for the stacking -DEF. I want to try a FAST-FAST-FAST non-elemental (non magicite obv) gimmick lineup... Noctis (SSB, LMR, LD) - Lifesiphon to build SSB charge, omega drive when ready to murder OK (pUSB, BSB, SSBs, LD) - Lifesiphon to build pUSB, Leaping Rush or Dervish when ready to murder Rikku (USB, BSB, LMR, LD) - USB, Breakdances as applicable Relm (USB, BSB, LMR, LD) - Heals as applicable Not sure about 5th member. Zell - has self-buffing SSB, can use lifebane. BSB is sadly redundant given pUSB. Fran - BSB, SSB, can breakdown. Shelke - can feed Noctis infinity instant turn SSBs or Relm's USBs, my favorite strategy Lightning - can give her powerchain and full charge

The buildup resets if the EX-Mode ends but not if you recast the USB. Given that Onion Bro will be going at Mach 4 he should have no problem upkeeping that though even without using something like Lifesiphon or Ace Striker. As far as options for him go: If you already LDed him, Dervish is super potent. It already has a fast cast speed and Onion will have chances to double cast it (and double casts do actually stack up the cast speed bonus from the EX-Mode) so he'll be making GBS threads out damage limited mostly by your hones. Leaping Rush is another cheapter orb option but you'll wanna wait for that one for when it gets buffed so that it doesn't take an asinine amount of actions to ramp up. Quick Hit is also there but given it's innately instant you sort of lose one of the big benefits of the EX-Mode unless you use Quick Hit to rocket up your cast speed for something else.

Pander posted:1) Does his pUSB stack with TGC RM in a meaningful way? Or is it diminishing returns? I think you may have to be a pioneer for some of this. 1) I would bet thundergod mode would be better used given to another teammate for max team speed. 2) I bet this could work out, but the question is what is the ideal circumstance. If you have his LMR, this is probably a much stronger option, but then again, having Shelke would mean one less DPS option. 3) He's probably a bit redundant with Rikku. If those are your strongest physical guys, doesn't look like you have the ideal people to work it, yet. Maybe if you have Bartz LDed and Flare Strike with his USB for quick casting. Anyway, the theoretical max potential is supposedly when the OP ninja abilities are buffed to 7 hits and you can basically poo poo out like 50-70k damage per cast and with LDs, often w-cast.

I pulled twice and went 3/22 OK pUSB OK LMR and Refia LMR. Wish I would have got the sUSB too but this is still awesome except I've always used OK as a sage with his BSB. Getting the LMR rocks though since I also have Tyro's that does the same thing. Refia also has her BSB so this is great for 100 mythril. I have a lot of farming to do now over time to get more abilities honed up and I need motes to LD OK.

I'm horribly hamstringed by 4* Vitality Motes right now. I have something stupid like 300+ 4* Bravery Motes and one single 4* Vitality. This is especially irritating because it's stopping me from giving Onion Bro his 5* ability access on the physical half.

Managed to get Hydra down to 28s thanks to today's event. Not the cleanest kill, but not too shabby for a team with no LMs outside of OK's LMR. I'm still really pleased with how well Ingus' BSB1 has held up. I'd still have preferred Gladio's so I can combo with Dawnhammer (and Gladio gets a W-cast Knight LMR down the road), but an Enearth entry with a stacking buff and commands to help max out Earthbringer means that it's got a lot of staying power.
