Unlocked Tidus legend - do you need to almost finish the entire legend board before you can get the actual LMs? This seems like it's gonna take a while

This seems like it's gonna take a while I think you just need to work your way down to them, it doesn't need to be 100% to get the LMs. But you'd want to eventually fill out the entire sphere for your A-team because the boosts are real good.

From what I can tell, you need to unlock any spheres that are connected to the LM, (aside from the ones that branch off of the LM2), so for most people that seems to be about half of the grid on each side. Or at least, I got about halfway down one side of Bartz' grid and there was a glowing line connected to the LM1 but I couldn't unlock it and it wasn't lit up.

would it be better to use lightning's USB first then the OSB or just keep chaining the USB (i have both) also since i have both would it be worth it to chase the legend materia armor on this banner?

Snazzy Frocks posted:would it be better to use lightning's USB first then the OSB or just keep chaining the USB (i have both) If you like using Lightning it's definitely a decent choice to do a pull or two on the banner as you can not only grab the LM but also her BSB2. BSB2 is loving great and I can guarantee USB->BSB2 will be amazing. Unfortunately Lightning OSB is kind of unimpressive, it's probably better to chain the USB.

I pulled and got Lightning USB and Serah Bow. Good pull overall since Lightning's USB is great and didn't have a haste for 13. Now I'm trying to decide if I want to chance a second pull. Those claws are still out there, her LM would be nice with the USB, and I do still really need a lightning imperil... That imperil is the last piece of a really kickass lightning team.

Neutral Zone Trap posted:Unfortunately Lightning OSB is kind of unimpressive, it's probably better to chain the USB. USB is only 710% and her OSB starts at 1125% and goes up to 1350%. Most of the USB's power comes from the buff. I've actually had really good luck with USB into OSB spam with a single wrathbot providing power. You get thundergod attack speeds plus empower lightning plus lightning boost gear for another 40% and RM for another 30%. Slightly lower coefficient, but good enough for someone who didn't luck into Cid's OSB. Edit: I'd worry about it running out of steam compared to the BSB2 in full throttle.

There's no way it's right to jam OSBs between USB buff refreshes without an entrust bot. But that's a really smart way to use it. You been doing that against non-lit weak bosses as well or just not bringing her in that case?

It's a good ssb though which I wouldn't mind having especially since I have her BSB too. I'm gonna hoard mythril a while though and only pull on 25 mythril banners. I have Raines BSB and Lightning's OSB so while this wouldn't be a bad banner for me, dupes are too risky.

Theres a part of me still howling that I didn't get anything for Jihl and all the "best dark imperil until rufus" and the prospect of bringing Golbez back to my A-team is very tempting. I'm back up to 25 mythril, aiming to grind out some more realm dungeons and have enough for one BSB Lucky and one pull on the Tifa/Noctis Fest banner. I can't remember what the word was from Japan, isn't Noctis supposed to be good? Being non-elemental means he's equally useful in most magicite dungeons, and has a TGCid multiplier on his OSB that has extra effects. Also, looking down to see he's got a doublecast Combat LMR in the future has me excited about honing Omega Drive.

I got Cid Raines SSB/BSB/OSB, all new to me. The boost from the SSB doesn't stack with the boost from the BSB CMD2, right? It affects the same stats so I assume no but the CMD2 is +MAG-RES and the SSB is +MAG+RES. Is the OSB worth using if you have the BSB?

Cid Raines has so many ways to buff himself that he doesn't need to SSB before he BSBs. Just give him Memento Mori, Burst mode, BSB initial MAG buff, CMD 2, and he's softcapped on MAG buffs. If you run any other faithgas, you don't even need the memento mori.

The +MAG/-RES on his BSB CMD 2 will stack with the MAG/RES buff on his SSB2. That said, his SSB2 isn't too useful for combining with his BSB. Cast speed up is pointless with Instant Cast from his Command 1, and unlike Memento Mori that has a MAG buff time of 50 seconds and lasts for the entire doom period (and more) the MAG/RES buff on the SSB is still the standard 25 and would need to be refreshed. Memento Mori is much easier to use if you want the MAG buff. OSB is going to be more useful as a stat stick (6* dark+ fist), but it'll only really be useful if you can end the fight with an OSB cast, or if you have an extra SB bar filled up from hitting a weakness. Otherwise, I'd just recast the BSB. Edit: I don't remember his OSB scaling particularly well with the Doom timer either. pichupal fucked around with this message at 04:20 on Jun 10, 2017 |

Sooo, uhhhh, I haven't played a lot since the last Orbfest due to school hell and now I'm kinda lost with the USB, LM, and stuff talk. Also, I did a pull on the Realm Dungeon Draw and got Agrias' OSB, Delita's BSB, and Selphie's USB. Are they any good?

pichupal posted:The +MAG/-RES on his BSB CMD 2 will stack with the MAG/RES buff on his SSB2. The SSB is mainly a Full throttle toy. You open with it, which means Raines doesn't need Memento Mori for self doom, then BSB, then command 2, then BSB again, then command 1, all with fastcast, and now you're rolling into the standard BSB command 1 spam cycle much faster. The OSB meanwhile, is basically a finishing move. Rather than recasting the BSB when the doom timer is under 5 seconds or whatever, just instant cast OSB to finish things off.

Raines BSB entry does more damage if he is afflicted with doom so in this case you should keep Memento Mori and drop the single CMD 2 cast. That lets him start in on the CMD 1 chains right away and also increases his survivability because you're not bargaining away RES.

"Jump Start", apparently, which is a lot dorkier and less hype than Full Throttle. But such is the way the renames have gone in global. Siselmo posted:Also, I did a pull on the Realm Dungeon Draw and got Agrias' OSB, Delita's BSB, and Selphie's USB. Are they any good? Selphie's USB is incredibly good, being an instant-cast Curaga medica and source of Last Stand (survive any lethal damage once). It's only really held back by Selphie's lack of Wrath, compared to Rosa and Y'shtola. Agrias's OSB is one of the better ones, getting better damage if the enemy has a weakness to Holy (which pairs incredibly well with her Imperil Holy BSB). Delita's BSB...it's not terrible? It shines if you have a SB that increases your crit rate (like Eiko's BSB or Delita's own Counter Tackle), since the entire thing does increased Crit damage, but it's mostly just notable for how many different elements it tries to tag (Holy/Fire/Lightning/Ice on entry, Holy/Fire and Lightning/Ice commands). Treat it like a slightly punchier Bartz BSB1.

Honestly, the magicite fights are absurdly tanky, and you almost always want to be exploiting their weakness to do damage. Non-elemental stuff is going to underperform. That said, he's not bad, and he's got some stuff that pairs well with gimmicky speed-run strats that are popular with the whales.

I would imagine what actually is hurting Noctis OSB is the fact it's non-elemental. You can't increase your damage via imperils and more importantly +element gear. Thunder God and that have the same multiplier in theory, but in practice Saintly Excalibur has those magic words on it: Increased Holy damage.

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:Oh right I have Sarah's Faithga but dunno if an SSB is worth a slot I'm assuming you mean Serah, the FF13 character, and not Sarah, the FF1 character? At least, I don't think the latter has a faithga. Either way, if so, it's on par with Sheepsong/Leylines/etc; it's a Hastega plus a +MAG/MND buff; there's a few faithgas it doesn't stack with (notably Yuna's BSB2) but for what you're packing it should be another layer of damage boosting. You'd have to feed Serah some pretty high hones, and she'd be more of a utility slot, but she could pretty solidly fuel both Golbez and Raines to be your dedicated Dark Mage Nuke Squad while still making Y'shtola heal better. Swap in a Support/Dance unit of choice (read: Tyro) or Kuja's imperil depending on if you need more defense or offense. Assuming you have the hones to keep her active, it's one of those SSBs that is arguably worth the slot.

Finally decided I'd have enough mythril to pull on 4 more Lucky Draws and still have 2 pulls on Extreme Fest. So that leaves BSB+, Curaga, Imperil, and one more. I figured the Dungeon Lucky would give me a shot at some FFXIV gear since my collection for that realm is sparse (but good stuff with Stoneskin II and Deployment Tactics). Well now! That's a very nice pull, even if the Artemis Bow and Crescent Wish are dupes. Looks like I now have 3 Holy OSBs, and half as many 6* base relics as BSBs.
