Well, it's a 50% chance to apply with affliction break, so with no resistances, you'll still have 2 or 3 people getting interrupted on average. The good news is he only does savage strike at the beginning of new phase (80% and 40% HP). If you're not going for sub-30, the only real danger is if it happens immediately after the 50% dispel.

saltylopez posted:So anybody have the math regarding how to best use Bartz? I have both his USB1 and USB2, I can en-element for wind, earth, and water, and I have his Glint. Somebody did the math on this in reddit if anybody else is curious: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/93dngt/benchmark_bartz_usb1_usb2_and_bsb_what_happens_in/ The conclusions: - If the finisher on the USB2 is going to activate, then it will pull ahead on damage, otherwise USB1 is better. - If you're using a chain, use USB1 instead. - Thunder god mode RM makes USB2 pull way ahead on dps assuming the finisher goes off. - If using two bars or an entrust bot, then USB1>USB2 is better dps than en-element bsb > either USB.

I'm gonna die before I get all these magicites perfected, aaaaagh. My Midgardsomr is almost at level 99, so I can be completely done with that and move onto something else. Not sure if I want that to be another Earth Magicite since my Wind Team is still my best and my Earth Team is physical, so it would need some actual Attack Boon nonsense. I guess in the end I should just be getting all of them. It's not so bad if I just space it out and do it on off-days...

Someone said to pull as much as you can on the ff5 banner so I did. With 3x11 pulls, I picked up bartz's arcane, glint, and lmr, lenna's ultra and lmr, and krile's burst and lmr. That seems good?

ImPureAwesome posted:Someone said to pull as much as you can on the ff5 banner so I did. Yeah, sounds pretty good. Generally, getting LMR's for the same people you get relevant SB's for is good. Bartz is one of the best characters in the game, Lenna and Krile are also good. Lenna's USB isn't insta-cast like the best healer USB's are, but otherwise, good pulls! Kheldarn posted:Question: Should I spend Memory Lodes on Aerith's MC2, or should I just wait until I get to the dungeon that rewards it? Just go for it. As long as you are clearing events, you should never have a shortage of MC2's or MC2 lodes. MC3's warrant a little more discretion.

You can totally do the event ones at least. Just refresh the roaming warrior list until you find an AOSB and summon that. It'll kill the boss in one shot (well, 3 or 21 shots, but one cast). This won't work out well against the Ultimate and higher stages but it'll clear everything under that pretty reliably.

You can't use RWs for either of those, so no. You wouldn't really be able to cheese them with one anyway, though.

the difficulty rating of stuff is a vague and inconsistent thing, but generally it’s around 120 or so where you can’t just use a RW twice to instagib the boss

Hail mary Banner 1 pull: 4/11: Bartz AOSB (dupe), Bartz Glint, Krile BSB, Galuf LMR And now I can focus solely on Banner 2 in the next FFV event. Definitely something to this "waiting to pull" malarky.

does squall BSB2 (lowen roar/draw and junction) count as spellblade stuff for purposes of his USB1/2? I don't have either USB, I assume it would, but lol thought put into abilities. I feel like that's my only chance of getting sub 30 on fenrir, I'm sitting around 33-36 seconds right now; perhaps having dispel with would help to cut down on fenrir eating up time with attacks and such... or does anyone have any advice? OK with pUSB + LMR and using him as entrust bot after dropping USB Tyro drops GW on T1 then entrust bot, has LMR as well Squall BSB2 (also have glint but I haven't been using it, probably should for the quickcast....) Laguna USB/BSB1, really I drop his USB twice then BSB elarra healing

What's next on the "holy poo poo pull on this" banner list? I had budgeted two pulls for V, but my first pull got me Bartz' ASB and BSB, plus Faris' BSB, and I already have Bartz' USB1 plus a couple of other dupes, so it's too risky for another pull, as much as I'd like that earth chain.

I guess I should look into making all the 5 star spellblade stuff? One of the reasons I said to go ham here was that Bartz is a perennial favourite and always has good new and recurring tech. You rolled into exactly what I have for him and I dove him immediately to clear endgame content with him, so he's already doing great. Eventually, we're both going to trip over one of his USBs and then his status will be hugely improved. As to Lenna USB, depending on where you are in content, she could easily be your best healer. In all non-magicite/non-Torment content, waiting 2 seconds for her USB is perfectly fine and the abilities themselves are top tier. Also, having it for the inevitable gregamesh battle will be very useful. Don't worry about honing up all the 5* spellblades yet since you probably can't afford it, but try to have a full set of Bartzblades honed for 3* magicite content and beyond, probably even before. You did good kid!

The D??? segment of The Looming Wall was a nice change of pace from speed meta all the time. Brought along OK BSB (a necessary evil for the commands, though Cid Raines might have worked just as well), Yda BSB/USB, Terra USB/BSB2, Locke BSB1/chain, and Y'shtola BSB. If I'd tweaked things a bit more I certainly could have hit 18 pushes instead of 17 pushes + 150K damage, but the reward is only 500K gil and I'm not that enamored with bragging rights that I'll rework a clear. In general, you want to have BSBs on everyone for when you inevitably run out of hones, and you also want an imperil effect for more gauge to fuel those SBs in the first place.

 Final Fantasy IV's latest event has a strong earth focus with a splash of lightning - and someone keeps forgetting to put Tellah on life support! Everything new's banner 1, though banner 2 has the Decil Suite. Banner 1 posted:Ursula's Strong Gloves [AOSB, +10 ATK] - 3 single-target Earth/Fire Overflow physical attacks Banner 2 posted:Kain's Brionac [AOSB, +10 ATK] - 3 single-target Lightning Overflow jump attacks Don't quite have a name for it yet (Gaia Release?) but  It is, indeed, the Earth-elemental version of Fires Within. Four single ranged Earth physical attacks, restores HP to the user for 30% of the user's maximum HP. Hogama fucked around with this message at 09:49 on Aug 2, 2018 |

Kheldarn posted:Alright. I'll give that a go. Thanks! For Necrophobe look for a RW with an AoE. Shadow BSB is a popular one because after his entry it gives en-dark and instant (CMD1)/fast-cast AoE (CMD2) commands, which can really spit out some damage even on underleveled folks. Other notable RWs: Orlandeau OSB: this was the main one for carrying events before AOSBs became a thing. It's a high damage hit and then gives Thunder God, which is haste for the part of the bar that fills after you pick an ability. Tyro USB: Godwall. Haste, protect, shell, and 100% def/res boosts that stack with proshell. This is every defensive buff in one package. Probably better to go for RWs that help you kill faster, but know this exists otherwise the damage at heigher tiers will seem unsurmountable. Various BSBs: in the top tier meta these things have gotten pretty powercrept, but the BSB commands may be better than other skills you currently have access to and they sometimes give en-element as a rider along with an innate attack boost and haste that come from Burst Mode.

Dena is rebalancing some legend dives - notably Jecht gets fire/dark instead of just dark damage, might make his upcoming banner slightly less bad, but probably still not enough to pull unless you are desperate for fire. https://old.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/93ykt0/jp_upcoming_legend_dives_balance_changes/ More interested in the precedent, this opens the door for a lot of similiarly bad dives to be fixed.

So the only reason I can think of keeping me from clearing D280 FFV is that I'm still on a 3* magicite deck, so I want to break into 4*. Should I be building a fully inherited 3* magicite deck before attempting 4*? Does sub-30ing a 3* mean I'm in relatively good standing for taking on the corresponding 4*? Any general tips for taking on 4*? I'll probably be starting with Isgebind using a mage fire team featuring Vivi and Terra as the main damage dealers.

I wouldn't bother inheriting onto 3* magicites. A very, very general rule of thumb for advancing to the next tier of Magicite bosses is that if you can sub-30 the current tier, you can beat the next tier, and if you can sub-15 the current tier, you can sub-30 the next tier. This varies depending on what your exact party and method is and is a little less reliable for the 5* Magicite bosses because they have additional gimmicks, but for 3* to 4* it's pretty accurate.
