Re: Seifer BSB1: it's not great but one time I clutched an MO fight with it (the Kaiser Dragon hard mode fight specifically) and it was hilarious. Everyone died but Seifer and his radiant tick pushed it over to the clear. Bronze chocobo of close enough. It's the only time that's ever been useful though.Electric Phantasm posted:VII pull got me Sephiroth BSB1 Speaking of only useful for screwy fights. I brought this classic to Long Gui to great results. It's not useful anywhere else really though. I also learned its CMD1 does NOT stack with the overflow gained by Pants USB. I was very disappointed by this but considering it's the first time I've used BSB1 in probably ay least a year I'm not too mad about it. Get that +10 for Seph and find his pants (or wear them proudly if you already have them) FF8: Rinoa wcast LMR Ff7: cloud bsb2 dupe Hopefully VI is more kind. Strago chain, Celes stuff, Locke USB... something

The Hoshi no Dragon Quest Collaboration banner has just two repeats (Tyro USB3 and Biggs USB); everything else is new. And Dragon Quest-related. Global prospects are... pretty sadly dim, if not 100% impossible. Tyro gets the first AOE Arcane Overstrike!  quote:Tyro's Erdrick's Sword [AOSB, +10 ATK] - 3 AOE Lightning Overflow ranged physical attacks

Its good but doesnt fit on my Quetz team yet; should be good for when I'm ready to tackle D??? though Quetz team DPS is Butz USB2+Glint+LMR, Thancred bUSB+LMR, Guy USB (Heavy user) If I had a chain he'd prob replace butz but for now its not worth the effort.

Ugh my Tiamat attempts are actually getting worse. My ice team is kinda bad, I don't have many options. Squall with BSB2 and OSB but he is not fully dived. SSSx8 for building meter. Snow with USB1 and USB2. I cast USB1 for the ice reflect. Throw in some Icicle Rush and Omega Drive. OK with pUSB, Wrath/Entrust. Been using two healers because the incoming damage is nuts. Relm USB, Ultra Cure/Arise Ovelia USB, Burst, SSB (Protect/Shell, 2000) Curada/Hastega I have played around giving Relm Curada to see if it helps with the RNG and timing of things. I use MM to get Divine Ward ASAP, but maybe this is the issue, that SB would be better used. But that would mean spending a turn getting protectga and shellga up with Relm helping or Snow with his USB2. I am going to attempt to TG Cid record materia on Squall to help build junctions faster. I also haven't tried spamming OSB instead of going BSB route.

You should be able to pop Relm's USB every turn, meaning you don't have to worry about damage, and your own dps will go through the roof.

DaddyBigBucks posted:Ugh my Tiamat attempts are actually getting worse. My ice team is kinda bad, I don't have many options. Since Ovelia is carrying hastega, I'm guessing you've got OK running ace striker/battleforged instead of mako might/Dr Mog's? That doesn't seem like it's worth having to burn an ability slot on a redundant hastega to me. Ideally, Tiamat should already be mostly dead by the time ace striker breaks even with MM anyway. I'd also drop arise; it's definitely possible to pull out a win after someone kicks the bucket, but you usually need to soldier on without them rather than try to pick them back up. That gives you enough slots to put proshellga on Relm and Ovelia and free up Ovelia's gauge, or whoever, at that point you can sub in a different healer if you're still committed to double healers. I'd agree though that you're probably better served with Shelke entrusting in that slot. Maybe have OK off-heal and give him the other half of proshellga? Really the key to surviving Tiamat is actually ramping up your DPS. IIRC her offense doesn't get really crazy until about the 40 second mark, so if you can kill her before then the fight gets a lot easier.

Krile Brave USB from the RoP! What's that Manticore? You go into rage mode every 2 turns? Well now I can overflow every 2 turns without having to entrust the poo poo out of Terra. Sure, I would have preferred a chain to help with Mateus, but I'm not even going to attempt him until the 6* fire offering is out. Fister Roboto posted:Ditch Ovelia and replace her with Shelke. Have her entrust bot to Relm. You should be able to pop Relm's USB every turn, meaning you don't have to worry about damage, and your own dps will go through the roof. Yes, do this. You can ditch arise and run with just protectga since, as long as you're killing her fast enough, I think you'll only see 1 non-piercing magic attack. Also, as someone who really avoids diving people, just give Squall the full dive: there are very few ice DPS and Squall's dive really synergizes with his BSB2 (and upcoming 3) so well. eelmonger fucked around with this message at 22:33 on Dec 21, 2018 |

IIRC her offense doesn't get really crazy until about the 40 second mark, so if you can kill her before then the fight gets a lot easier. Also her actions are completely scripted for the first few turns of each phase so you can plan accordingly. She's also much less dangerous during those turns because Absorb Strength/Magic don't do any damage. After those turns though, if you haven't pushed her to the next phase, she acts randomly, which can be a lot harder to deal with. In scenarios like this, bringing a second healer instead of an entruster or dps is actually causing you to take more damage.

My Hades clears are actually somewhat consistent now that I have Larsa USB and Godwall. I replaced Iris and OK respectively and it's still annoying but much less so. Also the animation on Larsa USB never stops cracking me up.

In addition to the other advice people are offering re: Tiamat, make sure that you're running Dampen Fire magicites in addition to Dampen Wind, since Savage Jet Fire does both fire and wind damage.

There's a point where she casts back-to-back Savage Jet Fires and that's pretty massive damage - even with inherited elemental defense magicites I'm probably going to have a wipe or close to it if some sort of AoE heal doesn't happen between. I usually just hold my healer to instant medica after the first one. I assume after that is more of the same, but in general she dies after the second cast in my party (dived Squall USB2/LMR, Ayame OSB/BSB/LMR, Fran USB-entrustbot, Minfilia USB/LMR2, dived Elarra USB) unless things have gone very wrong. ...dammit, it's Friday and I need to get my six kills in soon, don't I. Hopefully we'll get some Silver Dragons this time... Also: VI - Terra BSB2 dupe. Wrong Terra relic. V - Krile BSB2 dupe. mehhhhh IV - Tellah LMR.

Really decent 6/5/4 pulls: Mog USB2, Faris USB3, Kain USB1 (dupe). I got Mog's USB1, but the Torment buff USB is nice, even though I don't have any other VI stat buffs other then Mog USB1. Faris USB3 means I have all of her Imperil Wind SBs which is a little weird, and while Kain is a dupe, it's a lightning+ spear dupe. Still holding out for a Chain on III or I pulls, but overall I think this RoP was decent no matter what comes next. 0 - Seven BSB Tactics - Marach BSB XV - Ignis LMR XIV - Yda BSB XIII - Noel BSB3, Fang BSB2 (dupe) XII - Vayne USB XI - Aphmau BSB (dupe) X - Braska BSB IX - Kuja USB VIII - Raijin LMR VII - Elena BSB VI - Mog USB2 V - Faris USB3 IV - Kain USB1 (dupe)

CoD USB1. It's my third magical dark USB this RoP, please give me something for other elements or the dark chain, please. CoD is already using her Party Doom BSB too, but I guess that's not something you really need to recast anyways. And 3/11 on the LMR pull: Raines worthless LMR, Celes dualcast LMR (dupe), and Quistis dualcast LMR. I grabbed Quistis USB, so getting her LMR made this pull completely worth it. Might try alternating her with OK on my mage teams to add a bit extra healing.

4/11 on the LMR lucky: Rinoa enice, Basch enholy, Steiner imperil fire, Gordon debuff duration. Steiner's and Gordon's are pretty blah, but RInoa's and Basch's are nice to have to help them DPS after casting their chain/USB, respectively.

adding onto previous RoP pulls, VI: Locke BSB 1 V: Xezat BSB IV: Rydia BSB1 III: Luneth USB1 (dupe) and then the LMR lucky gave me Exdeath enDark LMR and Prompto doublecast LMR. Exdeath's LMR is nice, but I don't have too much for him. Prompto's is also really nice, but it's a dupe. It's just been a long string of middling to disappointing pulls, and I just hope something nice pops up from the USB Lucky draw and/or one of the fest banners to make up for some lousy luck I've been having lately.

Unless you want to pull for fun, I would skip it in favor of saving. But just for a quick number analysis, assuming all Haste/Instant Cast; Start with En-elements, Dualcast, Medica chase off bard/white, and Trance LMRs are 'good', there's roughly about 120/230 'good' LMRs on the banner. It's really not great, and it's already a flimsy definition of good. LMRs do have a vaguely high concentration of element boosting armors? Not enough to make the pull more worth it though. I mainly pulled because I like pulling, and getting an LMR on a lucky then getting an SB for that character later feels pretty nice.

Collected information regarding anima lenses:Hogama posted:- Gather Anima Lenses to exchange them for SB & LMRs https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/a8o6td/anima_lens_information/ https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/a8fkts/anima_lenses_whats_available/ -No AOSBs, CSBs, or GSBs available -Almost all uSBs, SSBs, and BSBs are available, and about 1/3 of USBs are avilable. The cutoff is the 3rd Anniversary, so that means no Godwall or Elarra USB. -Every character who has LMRs has exactly one available, except for Rubicante for some reason -Dupe 6* = 50x L3 lenses -Dupe 5* = 50x L2 lenses -No lenses from daily draw, AA draws, or series lucky draws So 20 6* dupes get you a free (fairly outdated) USB. There's still some good stuff in there of course, not to mention items with elemental boosts.

If you're only going to pull on one of the luckies, absolutely make it the USB draw, but I'd skip the OSB draw before the LMR draw, no question. OSBs have most of the same problems as LMRs as far as being niche and requiring other relic support to make full use of them, but LMRs do have an advantage over most other relics in that they're relatively less susceptible to powercreep. Theoretically though, I guess there's nothing stopping DeNa from making, say, 6* LMRs with ridiculous effects sometime in the future.
