I'll do the daily draw, if only to have a minuscule chance of getting Cecil's first unique relic, the shield with the SB of Draw Fire. Just for SB completion for my favorite character. I did get Hope's first SB relic today, so hooray RNG!

FFIX banners! Most of it turned out as you may have expected from the characters as they've been in FFRK, but Eiko swerves into Holy Summoning! Poor Steiner doesn't get anything new in the 6* department, and his OSB shows back up. Everything new's on Banner 1.

Finally, a Torment I'm prepared for. Terra USB/Sabin USB/Relm USB/Celes supported by outrealm Gilgamesh CSB just tore through D280 in 25 seconds. God that felt good after all these realms I've been struggling with! Sadly DWhale will elude me as I have no in-realm buffs and no more USB holders. Closest I have is Locke BSB+LMR.

The nice thing about the d240s and d280s is that you can get away with using an out-of-realm character or two, so you can sub in your best healer or a great support character. It's trickier for DPS because they won't benefit from realm chain, but I still ended up bringing Vivi to FFXII just because my only competent synergy character is Ashe.

I am finally at the point where I can 220s with a little prep and I managed to beat liquid flame. I can’t sub 30 it and I can only beat it because I because I was lucky enough to pull the 150 water chain and the rest of the upper tier stages grind me into a pulp. I am either missing some key aspect of the current meta or I just don’t have the gear for these challenges. Can anyone offer some advice? Or is the advice “hope to pull what you from the fest later this month”?

Gear is a big part of it - namely, gear that gives +elemental damage is a huge boost to damage, and SBs that give enelement are a huge boost, too. As far as accessories, gear for elemental resistance first, then status resistance. The exception is Liquid Flame, who you will generally have more luck gearing up with KO Resist to lower Blaze's accuracy. Another part is making sure you're using 5*/6* abilities for damage; Lifesiphon MIGHT be okay for someone who is just churning an OSB, but past that you need quadstrikes and chain -gas and the four hit sharpshooter abilities and the like to keep competitive with endgame HP/defense. If you're still using single-hit 4* skills or low-potency BSB commands, you're generally not gonna have the output to keep up with Magicite demands. Finally, Magicite is a thing that gets easier with the more you do it. Use the magicite you get from Liquid Flame to increase your damage against Sealion, and so on around the ring. You'll probably have to grind one before moving onto the next unless your kit for that element is really strong. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 15:20 on Sep 6, 2018 |

Prav posted:yeah same, gently caress that poo poo The lack of urgency on the new torments is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, I like that (unlike magicites) I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything by not tackling DWhale as soon as it comes out. On the other hand, it means I have 0 motivation to even attempt them and I don't know when that will change. So yeah most days I'm just running the dailies and that's it. I could probably 50% or better some of them, but the amount of real world time and effort I'd spend doesn't seem worth the partial rewards, especially because any 50% strategy is probably going to be massively different than an eventual win/sub30. DWhale is a massive difficulty spike, and until 5* magicites come out, there isn't much between it and the rest of the game, so it's really hard to judge your incremental progress.

USB/AOSB and BSBs with buffs are typically good, though it can somewhat make up for lack of hones in certain things. I beat all of the magicites with most everything honed to R3, but I have (overall) been lucky with pulls other than not matching up healers to DPS in the same realms.

the other thing about the new torments is they don't go away so there's no urgency. The rewards are good, but as it is im already sitting on massive stacks of 5* motes and don't have any immediate need to dive anyone atm

The main thing from torments are rubies for the new 6* abilities - which should really help in the upcoming 5* magicites.

Now you know what the JP player SolitaireD meant with this being the time frame a bunch of JP players jumped ship. At least the worst is almost over with 5* magicites around the corner. GL master race getting the improved daily pull rates months ahead of schedule was a pretty good way to make things more interesting meanwhile. Still having fun myself despite everything being trivially easy. Except D??? torments which are plain impossible. I guess I always liked evaluating banners more than playing the game. And there's more to consider with evaluating than ever before.

I have 1 AOSB (Pcecil), 5 USBs, and a hand full of BSBs only a few of which give buffs. I have been relying upon shout mostly to complete 220s.

Looking for opinions on the book 8 choice. It looks like for a while, raines bsb was the top pick until recently. I'm guessing Lulu's ice boost armor would be better for my squall and the future as it seems ice boost is rare. Any thoughts?

Any thoughts? 8 has got a lot of potentially good choices, it depends on what else you have to a large extent. Rude's glove is potentially useful for Yuffie and I think Edge if you want to lean on the overpowered ninja skills for earth-weak fights. Maria, Edea, and Papalymo's BSBs remain fairly good DPS even in this age of USB Then Ability Spam assuming you can hit their MAG thresholds. There's a lot of +element stuff on the banner overall if you need that, I've been considering Lulu's myself because non-caster ice boost stuff flees at the sight of me. Part of me wants to grab Strago's because water mages are pretty uncommon and it has boost, too. That said, we're going to start Realms on Parade like tomorrow so you might want to wait and see what you get out of that/free fest draws/fest Lucky Draws/etc. Also how have I been playing this game forever and not noticed this thread, yeesh.

Rude's glove is potentially useful for Yuffie and I think Edge if you want to lean on the overpowered ninja skills for earth-weak fights. To weigh in on this, from my experience with Ixion, I've found that Edge has more or less equivalent damage output with either Rude's glove or a 6* katana, thanks to the +katana damage in his dive. The numbers might shift enough to make the glove a better choice if you only have a 5* katana, though, or if you don't have +earth armor for Edge to wear too. The glove does definitely win out for Yuffie, since her dive doesn't have any +equipment nodes iirc.

I actually used a shared SB AOE heal for quite a few Cid's Mission runs when I didn't have actual healer SBs in that realm. They're all trash now, of course.
