PaybackJack posted:Here's what I would expect from Zarg enhancements: I agree with most of this, but I’m curious what’s going to happen to Hero Crest. I don’t really see them using enhancements to make Archadian Light just a strict and unequivocal improvement over Hero Crest. I’d kind of like to see the Illusionist Nichol treatment and turn it into a targeted provoke (which, in this case, he’d probably use on himself a lot) but that feels really pushed.

The problem with Hero Crest is that unless they were to turn it up into crazy territory, single target buffs just don't cut it anymore. So I'd venture that it'll have to fall by the wayside unless they add some form of combo to his kit that ends up using Hero Crest or strengthens it. Aside from that he is just all over the place and Gumi can develop him into several direction depending upon what abilities they enchance and in what way they do.

It's totally fine to let Hero's Crest be out paced. It's his first skill and would still fall into the ST/Less MP zone that mages have with lower level spells. I'd also totally be on board with giving it a provoke and then some damage mitigation on top of that though. PaybackJack fucked around with this message at 19:30 on Jun 5, 2018 |

Infected posted:So I'd venture that it'll have to fall by the wayside unless they add some form of combo to his kit that ends up using Hero Crest or strengthens it. But not this. I don’t see them negating a skill entirely like that. Magic is the only example of a skill being directly superior and entirely obviating the previous spells but that’s specifically because they’re tiers of the same spell. I’m not saying it’s a bad idea to just act like Hero Crest doesn’t exist and plan him accordingly. Just saying that it’s very unlikely to happen based on their MO. Provoke is just the only thing I can think of in which single target is particularly relevant. Maybe re-raise?

Double Summon Ability was one of her 7* lv105 abilities too. I know it's ages away but it might mean she'll get a 7* buff of some sort to replace W-Summon... or maybe lv105 for her will just be her other lv105 passives but nothing new.

Finished Orochi’s TMR and my BIS Tidus is done. This will be my friend from now till Hyou...unless someone has a request for a trial or I pull a 100% bonus for Mog King.  Send me an invite if you want in on the FDTDH fun.

So, I'm trying to do the 3* Ramuh trial, and I'm having a hell of a loving time trying to get the dualcast dispel trick to work. I've got Ayaka so I'm trying to dual white dispel/dispel on Ramuh and myself respectively, but I absolutely cannot get the targeting window to appear inbetween casts. I've tried holding on a unit right after the cast starts, double tapping and holding but nothing is working for me. Am I doing it wrong, or did they patch it out or something?

I see the "Summon a unit" daily and decide to spend a ticket on a banner instead of using the lapis, click on the tank one without thinking and pop the it mashing my screen, its a rainbow, its wilhelm. Im stacked tank wise.

There has been some fuckery on this. I was getting the red text, and greyed out units trying to do this so I ended up Bushido Freedom-ing myself and Fingersnap/Fryevia dispel on Ramuh. I'd lose a turn technically buffing/debuffing again but it worked out.

It’s a BAD week for Gumi.

I wonder who made that final decision out of Alim, Gumi or S-E. It's very odd that they were able to announce it and someone overrides that.

I've tried holding on a unit right after the cast starts, double tapping and holding but nothing is working for me. Am I doing it wrong, or did they patch it out or something? It absolutely does still work because I used it to beat both 3* Shiva and Ramuh. I find the hitbox for certain units are finicky in relation to their sprites when it comes to selecting them, which is why I find it much easier to pull off on an emulator than on my phone. It's supposed to be a long press to do it. I suggest practicing the self-select before you attack just to see which unit you can do it consistently on. Then right after you press Ayaka to cast, immediately go and self-select, don't wait to watch the animation of the first cast go off, just self-select as soon as you can. Once you have the unit selection screen open for any unit, you can navigate to a specific unit on your team by swiping if you're trying to dualcast a single target Dispel instead of Dispelga.

This is a real wet fart of a week to be putting on the same week of E3. Especially on the back of a mostly-rerun raid and a rerun banner.

Considering the Rosa 6* is this week, and the KK ability awakening is the 14th, Im guessing word from on high forced the kid rydia changes and they yoinked the event until they could make changes. I dont know why this would happen, but it seems to fit.

I think there is an equal opportunity of Gumi not being able to strip down future code and adding it to the game without breaking something as there is of them being over written by another party, hell probably overwritten by themselves It’s not like w summon would be terribly broken with the amount of global powercreep we’ve had.

The worst thing coming out of this is that we're apparently not getting the FFIV banner this week. WTF, nobody cares about a loving King's Knight rerun banner and having it standalone is so loving terrible. At this rate now we're not getting CG Nichol until July?!? Not giving out a global buff after you announced it is hilarious too. What a poo poo show.

At least with the return of this raid I can spend all the tokens I forgot to burn after the first time it came around.  Maybe I'll pull that maybe-useful 4* unit this time. This needs to be an alternate boss in the FF4 Randomizer.

Yeah given her high innate equip attack that TMR would be better than most options outside or maybe nature loving spell blade Ancillary Character posted:But what's so different about W-ability for her summoner skills compared to W-ability for Lila's Martial Arts skills? It seems like it should be trivial to just tag Rydia's summoner skills the same way and make a W-ability that works off those tags. I don't know anything about ffbes code but it's entirely possible that triggering 2 summons at the same time is something that's significantly different codewise than triggering two abilities. Summons requiere a guage with a limited resources, they trigger a cutscene. It's reasonable that the groundwork just isn't in our version, gumi pulled the trigger before knowing they could do it Cao Ni Ma fucked around with this message at 17:07 on Jun 6, 2018 |

The problem is that normally she gets that ability with her 7* form. Atleast that is the speculation.

Ray Jack is getting GE enhancements giving him HE frames. I wouldn’t necessarily write him off until I see the enhancements. Ray Jack #3 would be pretty bad though. I’m probably going to burn a few 4* tickets trying to get the old man since he has a unique effect TMR.

Yang is cool. His mechanical design is though. W-Ability and DW. W-Ability and no abilities worth using twice in a turn other than his chain attack move...what? Dual-wields fists, but his event weapon is a hammer which he can randomly also use except he couldn't use them in FFIV. 200% attack skill when unarmed because I guess they liked making you pick between fists and unarmed like FFIII? Brace a is measly 20% DEF self-buff for 3 turns when it should Defend+. It's also the only thing he can't w-ability. On a positive note his LB is decent and cheap, but since he has no innate high tide he's not really racing to use it every turn. I guess they figured since he's a 4* chainer they had to gimp him in every other way?
