I look forward to the Disgaea collaboration two years from now with AAAOSBSBs capping at 99,999,999,999 damage. This game has been a great ride. If it runs it's course with power creep, so be it, this current formula can't last forever.

If Alchemist Code wasn't such hot garbage, their collab might have drawn me in. And they followed it with Fullmetal Alchemist. gently caress Gumi. Just show an ASB as 40 minutes of powerleveling in the cave of ordeals followed by three giant hits.

Looking at my skills I'm kinda lacking in the magic department (the elemental quadstrikes kinda negated them for me) so what spells should I waste resources on? EDIT: Echo because I have her "stronger black magic but blinded" ability, Vincent and Terra because they're level 80, and Sarah because I can load her with Hastega and Shellga and then use her "replace attack with 1000+ heal" ability. Tyro because I guess he's supposed to be OP? I wouldn't know because the RNG rarely blesses me with anything for him. GenderSelectScreen fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Dec 16, 2018 |

I was using him as an example of my strongest character stat-wise and relic wise.

Uh There's a lot to unpack here, so I'll start with this: You do know that Record Materia (the "stronger black magic but blinded" and "replace attack with 1000+ heal" abilities) aren't locked to the character they drop from, right?

Looking at my skills I'm kinda lacking in the magic department (the elemental quadstrikes kinda negated them for me) so what spells should I waste resources on? the cheapest way to go about it would be to go with 4* black magic abilities (Firaja, Thundaja, Blizzarja, etc), and upgrade them up to around rank 4 to get as many uses out of each as you can. 5* black magic abilities such as Chain Firaga and Chain Thundaga are also useful, but they're more expensive, so if you don't have the orbs to make them and increase the number of uses they have, it might not be quite as useful to you at the moment. against Ultima Buster, if you want to beat the boss and worry about mastery later, just make a few copies of Firaja and Thundaja with a couple of ranks in each. This way, when the boss goes into it's second form, you can just focus your fire and lightning element spells on the mana sphere, causing massive damage on the boss. if you do want to do mastery, then include a Water element spell (one of the following: Water, Watera, Waterga, Waterja) and a non-elemental spell (Flare or Ruin would be your best choices), and use them on the mana sphere once each while you're casting fire and lightning spells on that sphere.

You've given the impression that you don't really care about doing the fight "properly" and just want it out of the way. So just go through the roaming warrior list until you find a magic-attack arcane soul break. Use it and win.

Thank you for the advice. I probably have enough for at least one Chain so I'll grab one of those. Which one would be better for future fights; flare or ruin? Honestly I'd rather master them now then ever have to worry about wasting anymore of my life fighting this garbage.

In the long run, Flare would be better to put resources in, since it's a 5* ability. Ruin would be a "create it just so you can quickly fulfill the mastery requirements and never use it again" sort of thing.

Prav posted:don't waste your orbs on flare, non-elemental damage abilities are garbage actual elements are stupidly powerful, but it's not a bad idea to have usable non-elemental abilities when you run into something that NE would be useful for. those instances are not as common as you get into the current hard difficulty content, but for those rare instances it's not a beyond terrible idea to have Flare and/or 5* Bahamut kicking around. Lord knows I've gotten use out of Omega Drive and Full Charge

Meteor owns and I will defend it to the death. It's almost never useful in endgame content but I find myself using it frequently in realm events, especially any fight with multiple targets. It's also amazing for farming orb and xp dailies.

Looking at my skills I'm kinda lacking in the magic department (the elemental quadstrikes kinda negated them for me) so what spells should I waste resources on? Can you share what soul breaks you have? Not just for these specific characters but for everyone. Those are more important than the record material passive abilities you're referring to. Record Materia, like someone else said, can be equipped to anyone. Do you have the following record materia? Dr. Mog's Teachings(from Tyro) Mako Might (from Cloud) Gathering Storm (from Thunder God Cid) The first two give the equipped character enough soul break juice to fire off one SB at the beginning of battle, the third gives the equipped character quick cast for 30 seconds at the beginning of battle. These are in every team ever for me, right on up to 5* magicite and torment dungeons.

I honed meteor because of the old torments, it was a god send for getting through the first 2 difficulties that had waves; I just didn't see a need to break it down afterwards and it has come in handy here and there since.

I have a roaming warrior set up specifically for Hitler's Gay Secret that should be able to one-shot Ultima Buster, and probably a few other nightmare bosses as well. It's kind of on him if he can't follow these simple instructions at this point.Fister Roboto posted:Add YNeM to your friends list. Use the RW in battle.

I would highly recommend grabbing at least 10-15 people that have DVG as their RW because it's just stupid useful for all sorts of things unless you have the soulbreak itself (even if you do, maybe you don't WANT to bring tyro)

KataraniSword posted:The question is, honestly, which will break first - the time-honored character level cap at 99, or the game itself? We can only escalate so much with relics without making the game actually "pay to win", and I think DeNA knows that. It keeps pushing the envelope, and as far as I can see fewer and fewer people go for it each time. We're reaching critical mass with powercreep, not because things are getting harder, but because the constant upwards momentum is making the difficulty more number-based and less strategy-based. I feel like part of the issue here is the speed-meta they locked themselves into with rewards stuck behind sub30s. I had lots of fun putting together some extremely rag-tag teams tackling the original torment CMs: SB-less Jecht with the shared shellga chocobo suit and full charge comes to mind. And that always felt like a very quintessential Final Fantasy thing to me; I can recall lots of time in SNES and PSX days where you could wander into difficult content, but with a good strategy you could just barely scrape by and you would feel like you accomplished something. I still feel that way a bit with the 5* magicites because I've been avoiding spending rubies or motes unless I absolutely need them, but I think that's more because I'm conserving resources for the magicites that I don't have a chain for (i.e. the next three  ).I think DeNA kind of understands this, since they changed things so magicite sub30 is much less important, and you really only need to be able to do that to one of them to farm arcana. But the neo-torments still have the best rewards locked behind speed clears so my motivation to tackle any of the D???s is pretty much 0. And I get why they do it, you need whales for a game like this, and you need to give those whales something to pull for.

Yeah, it's a good soul break stapled on an unfortunately pretty lovely character who can't really do much with it except stand there and look hornless. Like Attestant said, it's a good silver bullet that you can absolutely base teams around, but on its own it doesn't magically make Kimahri's toolkit work any better.

So banging my head against the Magicite wall had me realize Shout on Cid VII is very limiting, since he can't really do anything else once he uses his SB. I unfortunately have no choice since that is my only attack boostga, although Quina USB on banner 1 looks real tempting  Oh nevermind RoP got my back.
