There, I finally got all the 280 Torments sub-30ed, and I didn't even have to make a desperation pull on the FFI banners. I still kind of want to, though. Anyway, now I need to spend all these Record Rubies. Are there any abilities I should particularly avoid? Are the Witch and Machinist things any good? I've got all the spellblade and monk stuff, and some of the other things like Healing Smite and Sapphire Bullet and Voltech.

Sounds like you have the best stuff covered, i'd suggest the machinist imperil ones too (flame + frost offering I think), they're 50% chance to imperil which is a HUGE upgrade over the 30% on the 5* ones. Witch spells are kinda meh - they're higher potency which is nice if you dont have chain, but ideally if you're using witch it's with chain in which case the 5* will ramp up to cap pretty fast anyway. Other than the multi-element stuff tho it's mostly down to which ones you'll get the most use out of, or which would help you thru a tough magicite or something. 5-hit black magics are pretty good choices imo since you WILL be using multiple mages for 5* magicite so having multiple 6* skills to pass out is nice.

Cowcaster posted:i consistently just shoot for meta crackers so i've got a decent stockpile of those, but it does mean actual targeted elemental parties or parties from specific games are outside of my wheelhouse. so actually pulling on the realms might help fix that, but meanwhile i consistently shoot for meta crackers and awakenings are right around the corner, so.

I've got all the spellblade and monk stuff, and some of the other things like Healing Smite and Sapphire Bullet and Voltech. They're all very good. The only ones I'd consider not great (but still good) are the summoning abilities, because they're only 4 hits and mono-element.

I know there's still some people even JP side that are hoarding all of their rubies in case they add so many skills that you can't afford them all, but is there realistically any indication that that's going to happen? Like I'm not trying to blow all of my rubies at once and there's definitely skills I'm holding off on (mostly because lol I'm not going to be able to the ultimate Torment stages on...well, any of them) but I feel like not spending any of them at all is just making things more difficult for no reason.

There will be other sources of rubies in the future (mirage dungeons), so don't worry about it. It would be an insanely dick move to add new ruby abilities without also adding a new source. That's just JP players being paranoid.

If you make inroads into d??? at all (especially when they add rewards to 10%-40%) you'll have enough rubies for everything, and drawing an AASB for a realm really helps in being able to do enough damage to make some good progress on them.

Three pulls on the FFV banner, kinda junk (Bartz "boost spellblade with sword" materia, Krile en-earth materia, Faris glint) and then I pulled again and got Faris BUSB, Krile AOSB, and Lenna USB (Regenga!). It's a shame my fanboy relm always drops just before the fest, but no regerts. Also so far for RoPI have Jack BSB Meliadoul USB, Delita AOSB Noctis USB Yshtola BSB dupe Hope BSB dupe Vayne USB Ayame OSB Which is a pretty nice haul.

Alphi can make very very good use of a R4 Dark Valefor if you have his USB1. He needs someone to slip him some spare meter from time to time but summon x3 > USB1 > summon x2 > USB1 (> Deathflare) > summon x2 into forever is drat nice.

Yeah of course summoners make good use of summons because they're specifically geared for them. But summons in general are underpowered compared to most other abilities due to having less hits. That's why I said they're not as good.

Summons also have high multipliers and a minimal damage mechanic, this even lets them do okay damage in the opposite type magicite in a pinch.

V is one of my weakest realms (outside of Gilgamesh) and I'd love some gear for the Bartzman. Is it worth pulling on this V banner? I've got like a hundred mythril.

It's a good banner but aniv with Bartz awakening starts in a little over a week, I'd just save.

Got Shitotto's Lightning Chain yesterday. I think it's Gen 1, because it's not 150. But whatever. At least it's not yet another Fire Soul Break.

Also note that this banner is sticking around a longer time than usual, due to the fest. You'll have time to see how fest rewards/expenditures pan out.

Curilla USB1 is a very lowkey but very good relic. I'm legitimately considering spending the 15 mytril on the realm draw in the hopes of that or maybe Ayame OSB, plus I guess it's a bunch of cheap rainbow shards.

Just because you have other Ayame stuff, or is there something special about her OSB? I just pulled it.

Bruceski posted:Just because you have other Ayame stuff, or is there something special about her OSB? I just pulled it. There's nothing special about it. I specifically want it as a rage breaker for Syldra radiant shield since the game is super stingy with ice tech. I've heard you can use Cloud, but haven't seen proof and feel like it's going to be more of a pain than standard radiant shield.

Cloud has 5* or higher access for every element except holy (and poison lol), so with his USB1 and enough buffing you can use him as an enrage break on almost every physical magicite.

That's with a chain and lots of support. I'm talking about breaking Syldra's rage mode with Cloud's free OSB so reflected damage from radiant shield doesn't get massively reduced. The stuff you'd need to bring to have Cloud punch through enrage mode with abilities would cut too far into your healing for the radiant shield to work.

You asked for proof that it was possible so idk why you're jumping in with all these qualifiers now. Obviously if you want to go all in on the radiant strategy you also need a chain and a bunch of support for that. If by saying 'use cloud' you actually meant his free joke OSB i hope you can understand why other people did not think the same thing.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:I'm confused. What meta is there even to crack outside of magicite and torments? Event 260s? i guess that was kind of a weird way of putting it, it’s less “i need to break apart the difficulty that exists” and just shooting for “the most powerful items” and so the latest iteration is around the corner it’s just the nature of the mobile game market and power creep in general that “the most powerful” coincides with “telling the current game balance to get bent” Cowcaster fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Mar 16, 2019 |

The post was about OSBs, but I can see how it wouldn't translate, especially since most people probably forgot he has an OSB that does ice damage. I specifically meant: "Use Cloud OSB2+USB1 to break savage while Alphinaud and 3 healers reflect damage and keep everyone alive." There's a post on Reddit about it, but the person wasn't able to get all the way through and it sounds like a nightmare to juggle his EX mode like that.

That OSB is... calling it a "joke" isn't fair but it's absolutely in Free Item Territory; It's about as strong overall as a SSB, just consolidated in a single hit. That means it's about 2/3rds as strong as a normal OSB, and about 1/4th as strong as an AOSB. Without enelement, getting Cloud to break cap with it is shaky, especially if you don't have imperil.
