Cowcaster posted:once he was out of the way though i managed to bumble through the others more or less ok just using poo poo i had lying around. i’d been relying on the linchpin of onion knight’s physical ultra soul break for so long i had forgot how few and far between the hastes/boosts are. i ended up egging red xiii, a character i think i’ve haven’t used since before i could field a full suite of characters i liked, just because somewhere along the way i picked up his ultra and apparently it’s a haste/boost. I'm the same. That's the main reason I sorted everything into https://sbs.jaryth.net/ (used the drop tracker first, sorting out the glitches/kinks on that was slightly faster than doing it by hand, then been updating manually as things come in). Looks like my physical boost folks are OK, Quina, Quistis, Red, Ramza, and Tyro (Fantasy Unbound, not a good one). Got Bartz fire BSB off the NYE half-pull. I'd really like Elarra but I thought Godwall was also on this banner and pulling for two strong-wants out of a metric ton of dupes was more appealing than pulling for one. I now have every Bartz en-element except for earth, and don't use any of them because just using Chosen Traveller and going to town is capping damage most of the time with OK's critboost. At least it's +fire armor.

cool, i’ll have to check that out. speaking of that though, what’s the most “convenient” in-app way of doing it? i went to the roster tab in the party menu and just started tap-holding on characters until i hit something, i think that’s it, right?

If there's a better way I don't know it. And that just shows equipped SBs.

Thanks! I now know that I do not have an Earth Imperil. Not that I need it right now.

All the spreadsheets I found tracked things focused on the weapons. I don't need to know what fire-boosting swords I have, I can sort by that, I needed a "who do I have with astra" because I don't have everyone memorized. And finally found it. E: that's mostly because all the spreadsheets I found were based off Enlir's master monstrosity, and that does not list SBs in an easily sortable manner. Jaryth did a great job parsing all the raw SB text into separate bits.

Now that we don't have a Greens daily and never will again, it's the only way outside of rare double greens events to get more Fat Choco currency than average. The OSB sure is an OSB, but at least the statstick it's on has a unique niche. KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Jan 1, 2019 |

The 33-pull is up! 4/33 - Shantotto BSB, Papalymo OSB (dupe), Edgar USB, Garland CSB Holy poo poo, that's pretty good - Edgar's USB is fantastic and I didn't have a dark chain so those are both top-tier acquisitions.

Hey guys, haven't played this in a while after I got burned out on the 5* magicites, just curious to see how much things have changed since then. Also, I've got 100 mythril right now (and I could probably farm some more with whatever new dungeons / events / record dungeons have come out since then), so what banners should I pull on? I did the 33 pull already and went 6/33, with 3 Ultras (Irvine, Emperor, and Rem), 1 Arcane Overstrike (D. Cecil), and two bursts that I already had. Are any of those worth getting particularly excited about? There's a ton of banners open right now so I have no idea what I should be eyeing.

Auron USB1, Firion USB2, Hope LMR (enholy) and Gaffgarion BSB, no dupes. I'll take it! That's my second +ice hat (the first being lulu bsb I picked up off of AA because I was tired of not having +ice armor  ) and i think the usb is good too. Probably doesn't make my fire team, almost definitely makes my ice team.

I think you have enough to do the Realm Relic Draw at 5 Mythril for the first draw on each one? I think that comes out to 85 Mythril. Also, farm up some extra and do the New Year's Luck Relic Draw for 25 Myhtril. Beyond that, the thread hasn't been salivating at any of the current banners, so to me, that means they're skippable. Also, always do your Daily Free Draw.

Other than that, any draw that is not discounted in some way is not worth it. There are just too many targets on the horizon between all the lucky draws that keep showing up (like a refresh of Realm Relic Draws every six months or so) and the absolutely fabulous Awakenings that debuted on the 4th Anniversary in JP. To give some perspective, while an Awakening can only be used once per battle they give hilarious boosts like boosting the damage cap/granting enelement/granting honeless dualcasts for 15 seconds. They represent such power creep that people on JP can set up auto-battle to clear 5* magicites. Edit: Yeah, don't forget the Daily Draw. Sometimes they're good now!

Got Bartz's water burst, ultra, and LMR on the 33 pull. Also Vann's ultra (dupe), Red XIII's LMR (dupe), and Kuja's LMR, also a dupe. Fully dived and leveled Buttz and I don't regret it. Do have a question though, how do his triple and double cast spell blade things interact?

Basically, how much is taking a long break going to screw me? The big power creep is coming with the next festival in three months - awakening USBs. You can only use them once per fight, but for the next 15 seconds the character gets: -damage cap raised to 19,999 -dualcast (like Orlandeau's USB) -1.3x damage -hones aren't consumed -another buff depending on the character, like a cycle or chase Also an enelement and a 15-hit entry on top of all that. Awakenings are absolutely insane and a lot of people are saving for the next fest.

So now that I have an Earth chain for Galuf, I need to figure out who my earth team actually is. I've got earth USBs for Tifa, Dorgann, and Cinque. It looks like Dorgann is the weakest of the options here. However, he could use earth Knight skills and not force me to have to craft and hone a second set of either monk or heavy physical earth skills. So it's: Tyro (full dive/lmr) : Godwall/entrustbot Elarra (full dive/lmr) : Magica Album/curada/critical song Galuf (half dive): Chain/(monk or heavy physical?) And two of: Tifa: Double cast USB/meteor crush/gaia rush Cinque: Heavy Charge +1 USB/grandcharge/stone press Dorgann: Earth rank-based chase USB/dirtsabre/dirtsabre Any thoughts on what my best options here are? I can probably at least half dive each dps character. Edit: Welp, just realized that I have no Earth+ weapon for Tifa, so she's out of the running anyways.

Alxprit posted:So Master's Ultra is completely unsalvageable, right? It depends on your definition of "unsalvageable". It's probably the best source of NE damage out there for what little that's really worth nowdays, and on top of that, it still gives him a statboost, Crit Damage Up and a chase move. It's perfectly fine even with things like the Ironfists or Fires Within, it just doesn't quite compare to the force of something like Tifa's or Zell's ultras that go all in on their element. I'd say it's a solid C-rank. It's good for CMs/the FF1 torment when we get it, and it's still usable if Master is someone you enjoy keepin' around, but it's just "okay", not anything more.

You should not need to double hone dirtsabre for dorgann since he has rank based chase, you just hone 1 to r5 and you will not run it out. Honestly for most of the fight you won't need more than 6 casts of stuff unless you have thirsty doublecast characters. 5* magicites might be different, I have finished all the 4*s tho.

Alxprit posted:So Master's Ultra is completely unsalvageable, right? basically what KataraniSword said - it's not useless, it just doesn't have a place in bleeding edge content like 5* magicite. That said I've fully LD'd him with it and taken him to the top of crystal towers, thru 260 and even 300 difficulty events that featured omniresist bosses and he did quite well. You NEED a critfix though to make it work, I use onion pUSB, Ignis BSB would be more ideal if you got it.
