Is there any disadvantage to using roaming warriors at all, like less exp, gold, finite uses etc?

You can only use a RW twice per dungeon and can only select a particular player's RW to use in a dungeon once per day. That's it.

Doing Mythril/Gem healings also recharges your RW uses!* *If you're that reliant on an RW to finish a dungeon you should probably reconsider doing the dungeon at all. Although I don't want to say it's never worth it.

I pulled on FFX Banner 2 hoping for a physical BSB because while I have a decent set of mage relics my physical leaves something to be desired. 1/11 - Leap & Rush

Yeah, I think the only rare situation something like this might be worth it would be like if you were a really new player and you needed to finish the hardest difficulty orbfest stages in order to get major orbs for completion that you would otherwise miss out on.

Dollar pull chaos rod. On one hand, dollar 5*! On the other, it's my third goddamn Yuna relic when I really wanted a Lulu or Rikku relic. On a third mutant hand it's my best Yuna relic, since HP stack sounds pretty cool and Hymn just doesn't heal enough up front these days.

My point was generally that the chaos rod heals a lot more up front than hymn does, and HP stock is a viable replacement to heavy regen (especially since I have like a dozen other sources of heavy regenga)

Really wish this incarnation of Sanctuary Keeper sported a weakness. It's just a slog trying to cut through him while he sprays status effects all over my team. Is it really worth two Major Powers for the CM? I'm going with no.

Well, done with the event and MP already, I'd attempt the CMs if I had synergy but really I don't feel like slogging through the fights again. Tidus was fairly easy with Cid Raines (like everything tends to be lately) and Leon's BSB.

So how do imperils work against resists/absorbs? And dual elements for that matter. My game plan so far has been beatrix making things weak to holy while minfilia and raines go all bursty, but I guess yunalesca absorbs that? I don't really know what I'd do for damage if raines is off the table, that guy is nuts.

Apocalypse Ultima Weapon killed my team's Cid Raines with its first two attacks (he didn't even get his first turn off), but we still took him out. I brought a Faris with her burst and Mug Bloodlust, someone else had an Agrias with Cleansing Strike, and he topped out at about 1300 damage per Ultima. We didn't even have Wall (which I gathered from the boss description wouldn't have helped much) or Shellga. edit: I seem to remember, when they first implemented the mechanic, that there's a sliding scale with absorb at the top and severe weakness at the bottom, and imperil just moves you one or two spots down the scale.

I don't really know what I'd do for damage if raines is off the table, that guy is nuts. I'm at work so I can't look up the stats on this, but from what I recall, resist means they have a 50% damage reduction from that element. My understanding is that an imperil would grant a 25% increase in damage, which would make them take more damage than they would have otherwise, but they will still be marked as "resistant" when you hit them (a 25% reduction from normal damage). Against an absorb it wouldn't be very helpful. At best I think it would make them null that element, and at worst it would only decreased the percentage of the attack they absorb.

Pander posted:Isn't hymn curaga level medica while the chaos rod SSB is a curaja-level? Yup. Exactly. I was just pointing out that HP Stock fills a lot of the same role as the high regen on Hymn - they work differently, but they serve the same purpose of keeping party members topped off through small hits after the medica lands so you can stay caught up on healing. Enlir's spreadsheet or The PDF Compilation for all your potency needs.

I don't really know what I'd do for damage if raines is off the table, that guy is nuts. Elemental damage ranges from -100% to 200%. Default is 100%, normal Resist is 50%, heavy Resist (just introduced in Japan) is 20%, Null is 0%, Absorb is -100%, partial Weak (Torments, etc) is 150%, and fully Weak is 200%. Imperil simply adds 20 to the existing number, to a maximum of 200%. It changes Absorb from -100% to -80%, which is completely useless; Null is changed to heavy Resist (20% of base damage), normal Resist is changed to 70% of base damage, etc. Zurai fucked around with this message at 05:54 on Jan 23, 2017 |

How it's supposed to work is it'll always use the most damaging option, so like if your Raines is wearing holy boost equipment and the enemy is neutral to both it should use the boosted Holy. This is good to pay attention to if you're using something like Meltdown which has 3 elements you can boost independently, if you have like one fire boost and one wind boost they kinda compete with each other

Also, it's possible to still get a disadvantaged element to be preferred with enough boosting. Having an Enelement and a +element piece of equipment raises that bonus to 170%, which gets reduced by resistance to 120%, so it's still picked. Not sure how LCSSBs interact with it yet, but theoratically it should be possible to get at least 200% damage with an element (+40% from equipment, +50% from Enelement, +30% from RM).

That's not how the math works. 170%/2 = 85%. You can still get resisted elements to be the chosen ones but it's a little harder than that. You usually only see it when casting elemental SBs under en-element while wearing element boosting gear.
