Prism posted:Yeah, having both God Among Men and Omnicast Fire is superb for daily dungeons. Unless I am also babysitting some low level schmuck I barely have to watch. Definitely get a couple AoE autoattacks eventually even if you only get one now. I'll get a whole list of them when I'm at home again. I was half way through making the list so I'll save you some work. To be clear, I'm using RM2 to refer to the RM you get randomly after using an MCII, and RM3 for MC3. Black Mage and Ninja's nice AoE options aren't in the game yet. Also skipping over the weaker physical ones. Magical Auto-Attack (Reference: 1* Fire x1.50, 2* Snowball Flurry x2.00) Ninja RM3: Attack -> Slightly Weaker Fire Veil (x18.00 vs. x21.00) Black Mage RM3: x2.08, Fire Strago RM3: x2.08, Non-elemental Black Mage RM2, Rubicante RM2: x1.50, Fire Emperor RM2: x1.50, Wind CoD RM2: x1.50, Dark Marach RM2: x1.50, Lightning Nabaat RM3 x3.00, 4.5 second cast time, Non-elemental Physical Auto-Attack (Reference: 3* Monk Kick = x1.30) Spellblade RM3: 2-hit, Earth, x0.6 per hit, Spellblade school Samurai RM3: 50% chance, 2-hit, x0.9 per hit, 100% accuracy, Samurai school (included as it averages out higher then the other options) Yang & Yda RM3: x0.8, Non-elemental Orlandeau RM2: AoE convergent (1=x0.9, 2=x0.75, 3=x0.64, 4=x0.57) Leo & Machina RM3: x1.0, 4.5 second cast time, Non-elemental) Best low-effort option is Bard's RM1b (x0.6, drops randomly after using MC1), but you'll need pretty high attack for that depending on the enemy. Otherwise Orlandeau is easiest to grab for good results. pichupal fucked around with this message at 19:46 on Oct 6, 2017 |

Here's my post fest roundup. Prior to this fest I had a dry spell with no 6* relics for four months and the summer fest was a SSB filled nightmare. I still had quite a bit of mythril saved up so here's what the slot machine coughed up for me and a small SB review to go with it. USBs Tyro 2. Good. Can never have too many hastegas and the buff stacks with most things. Lightning. Great. poo poo's out damage fast and is going to get a lot better once Thundering Twinstrike is four hits. The relic is a 6* +lit sword. Edge. Great. Has extremely high damage potential but can be partially shut down by aoe physicals. And by partially shut down I mean he takes no damage and still hits for a decent amount. The only downside is the berserker sphere in his 4* dive and me lacking the orbs to hone the water ninja skills. (dupe) Aeris. Miracle veil is great. This is Miracle Veil that's instant and has Shellga. Combined relic is now my highest MND staff. Terra. Great. Burn everything to the ground. For some reason lasts 10 seconds longer than other EX modes. Should probably have all realm +fire but does not. It's not like a fire mage sword would've been a hot commodity for everyone to fight over. Zidane. Great. Chase all thief attacks with a decent chance to imperil further. This with his BSB2 sounds deadly as its commands are thief. Squall. Tempted to call it trash but it's okay. The EX mode is a joke though. You can't activate it enough during 15 seconds to make a difference and the stacks reset when the SB is recast, making it a slightly stronger Super. Rikku. Great. Saves ability slots, RW cash grab. Probably combining this with Zidane BSB2 to sometimes give Ramza a rest. And Agrias who usually has to come along to every fight to carry the other half of Proshellga. Edge can use this +water 6* fist so that's a plus. OSBs Squall. Bog standard 12 Ice/NE. It's an OSB, they have their uses. Raines. It's an OSB. The multiplier variation doesn't really make a difference in one way or another. +dark 6* mage fist is real nice, though mostly for him. BSBs Rinoa 2. Great. A really hard hitting ice mage thing. Going to replace Serah as my ice mage once I level her. Or maybe they'll go together and I'll kick Snow out of the Fenrir team. Zell 1. Great. Powerchaining command 2. Good punchman. +fire fist. Zidane 2. Great. Debuff the enemy, buff your team with a unique id (which means it stacks with Shout). Going to see a lot of use once I get him up to speed. Locke 1. Good. Nice effect, nice commands. Gogo. Good. +water rod, enwater. CMD 2 is nice water damage. CMD1 has potential but ultimately is a curiosity. (dupe) Golbez. Fringe effect but it's a good SB for what it is. A tanking mage. This reforged +dark rod with full rosettas is pretty strong at least. Relm. Great. Awesome source for Guts. (dupe) Relm. Yeah one was enough thanks. This was a 1/11 pull too. (dupe) Relm. Okay. Minfilia. Great. A support SB with an en-element. Sounds weird with but with her ability access it works out. +holy but I have better options for +holy swords already. Raines. Great. Doesn't need comments. Hope. Trash. Learn and forget (about both the SB and Hope). Unimpressive commands. The entry self-faith is nice but it's not nearly good enough. Dude can't use 5* WHT even if Holy was buffed to multihit already and the holy summon is a 4*. But a +holy wrist armor is amazing in any case so that's good enough for me. Alphinaud. Great. Enwind and summon commands to bypass counters for those certain annoying fights. My summon hones are poo poo so I prefer this over the USB for now at least. Red XII. Great. This variation of the support SB has quick cast commands. Yuna 1. The biggest prize out of all of these. It does excellent damage and heals too. What's there not to like? Arc. Good. BSB Medica. Pays the "deals damage price" which I don't like. Iris. Great. Just a great medica BSB. Great to have Astra available as an option. Porom. Great. Goes in a mage team. Larsa. Great. Just a great medica BSB. See Iris. (CT) Ka... Prishe. Sorry Kain. I picked Prishe to deal with the 3CM torment but it wasn't even enough. Maybe later once I get some levels and motes under her belt. The SB is great though, giving whopping five quicker monk casts and a bargain CMD 2. SSBs Deuce. Good. Lots of strong effects for a Super. Seifer. Trash. Worst SSB in my possession. Luneth. Decent. Slightly higher multiplier than his BSB if going for JS wind clears. (dupe) Vanille. Good. A medica's a medica. Maria. Okay, at least it's a faithga. (dupe)Setzer. Fixed dice. It's okay. Did not do gem pull. Still no Cloud things but let's just say the consolation prizes were a bit better than two gun arms this time around.

Nihilarian posted:Is spellblade's RM3 actually coded as a spellblade? Had to double check, but yes it is. It's easier to think of it as a half strength Quake Strike, but that still makes it stronger then the other AoE Auto-attack RMs. For comparison, Bladeblitz is x1.5, Kick is 1.3, Spellblade RM3 is x1.2 total, Leo and Machina RM3 are x1.0, Yda and Yang RM3 are x0.8, Orlandeau with 2 enemies is x0.75. I'll edit this stuff in the last post.

Hey I wanna do a post-Fest roundup report too. I skipped the pre-Festival Healer Lucky Draw but pulled on the other two LD's, two pulls on Banner 2, one pull on Banner 3, two pulls on Banner 4, and then the Crystal Tower Mythril Draw. Oh and the 30-pull of course. I haven't done the gem draw. USB's Bartz - Hell yes. I have none of Bartz's BSB's, but I legend dived him anyway and putting him to work in some of the magicites. One of the best relics I could have hoped for from this festival. Penelo - A nice healer relic! Yoshi-Cola is still my go-to healer but this looks good. Speaking of which... Y'shtola - hahahahahahahah gently caress OSB's Beatrix - This is the only thing I've pulled for Beatrix. It's...mmm, a thing, I guess? Warrior of Light - Ditto, I don't have anything else for WoL. Guess it's something. Fujin - Doesn't seem super great without an EnWind, and outside of FF8 realms it actually seems like a worse weapon to use than her BSB weapon if you're aiming solely for wind damage. Hmm. BSB's Gordon - ...it's another form of Last Stand but why Rosa - Decent healer thing that also does a little damage? Alright. Ceodore - Not great. Guess it's ok to have healing on a more offensive character, but... when am I going to bring him anywhere... Locke - Well it's fire imperil, that's cool. He doesn't make my Sea Lion team right now though. Strago - Neat! This might help me get my first clear on Golem (haven't tried yet, waiting for half stamina Magicites tonight). Plus the cloak provides extra water damage Cid FF7 - I think I have enough physical wind damage already. 10 hit entry + 5 hit CMD1 might be nice for wind chains though. Garnet - seems pretty bad but a +Lightning dagger? Ok. Auron - Eh. Not really sold on this, but maybe on a physical boss that I need non-elemental damage for? Ayame - HELL YES. One of my main goals in this Festival was to get ice damage, and sadly this was the only thing I pulled that does that. But luckily it rules. Eat poo poo, XI Torment! Balthier - I pulled THREE of these loving guns. At least I've got a super cool +++ gun for FF12 battles I guess?? Fujin - Made this my Crystal Tower pick entirely based on the fact that I can't clear Golem, so I need magic wind damage. Seemed like the best decision. SSB's Gordon - Seems more useful than his BSB, if I'm doing a CM for FF2. But when does that ever happen?? Dorgann - ...it's a +Wind sword! Sazh - I will never use this. Edea - I will never use this. Overall I got some good things but I still don't know if I have enough ice damage to finally take down Fenrir. And of course, I whiff on TERROR BALTIMORE's USB yet again.

I still can't choose between Fujin's BSB and Orlandeau's. I have both of their OSBs and both of the BSBs seem to compliment those. Fujin's has +wind which is nice, but on a weapon very few people can use. My wind and holy coverage are both pretty good, but I have way less magical wind gear than physical holy.

Physical Holy shows up in a lot of realms and a lot of characters, magic Wind not so much. Also, Orlandeau's BSB isn't that great without his OSB.

I'd probably go with Fujin's BSB there. I have Both TG CID's OSB and BSB and while the combo is nice I don't actually find myself using it often. Thunder God mode lets his OSB stand on its own a lot more than the others and he can output ridiculous damage just with normal abilities after using it if you have the hones.

Mithross posted:Orlandeau's OSB/BSB combo is quite strong, but just his OSB and abilities is also quite strong. Haha yeah, that's pretty much exactly why I'm torn. Neither of them are must-haves, but both are good. Fujin's BSB would be nice for Golem since I bring her anyway, and Orlandeau's would be nice to combo with his OSB, but I'm honestly not sure how much more effective OSB -> BSB is compared to just double OSB'ing.

EDIT: @ Shock Trooper Fujin's OSB ought to help with Golem at least. With wrath and ninja speed commands you won't have much problem juggling it and her BSB. Ceodore's BSB seems great. All the heals on it are proportional so you don't have to mind his mind. I don't have it myself so I haven't messed with it enough to tell you how to use it but it definitely seems strong. Cid's (7) BSB is notable because it doesn't have the usual enelement damage tax. That makes it a very respectable wind bsb; unfortunately you drew it in the same fest where you got Bartz USB. To add insult to injury, Bartz can use your shiny new +wind sword and Cid can't. Oh well. Grizzled Patriarch posted:I still can't choose between Fujin's BSB and Orlandeau's.

My Fest Haul pretty much went alright, keeping the summary in chronological order: Healer Lucky (3/11): Yuna's BSB2 Dupe, Iris' Burst x2 . BSB+ Lucky (5/11): Rapha, Basch and Eiko's Dupe Bursts, Quistis & Prishe's BSBs Disco Lucky (2/11): Zack's Chain and Relm's Ultra 30-Pull (3/30): Lann's Overflow, Penelo's Burst, Echo's Hastega/RES-buff Super. NES Banner (6/22): Dupe Bursts for Maria and Garland, Dupe Onion Armor, WoL's Burst and Firion's Burst + Ultra Combo SNES Banner (3/11): Dupe Rosa's Burst, Celes' BSB2 and Bartz's Ultra. PSX Banner (1/11): Cloud's Ultra PS2 Banner (3/11): Auron's BSB2, Aphmau's Burst and Balthier's BSB2 Modern Banner(1/11): Nabaat's Burst I'm too F2P to pull on the Gem Draw Selection. Crystal Tower (3/11): Zidane's BSB1, P. Cecil's BSB2 and Fang's Enwind Super. Selected Beatrix's BSB1. Larsa's Burst was my runner up choice, but 1st Holy Imperil > 2nd Native Astra and I have a lot of Holy-element SBs (not even counting the ones I got from this fest).

Nihilarian posted:EDIT: @ Shock Trooper My current plan was to give Onion Knight the ninja wind abilities and just have Fujin spam BSB commands. I've only tried the OSB once and was kinda underwhelmed by the damage, but I didn't really have buffs up. Maybe if she had Ace Striker/Battleforged, but I'm thinking those RM's are more important to give to my Wrathless wind mages (Emperor and Strago). I'll have to see how much bar I can build up. quote:Ceodore's BSB seems great. All the heals on it are proportional so you don't have to mind his mind. I don't have it myself so I haven't messed with it enough to tell you how to use it but it definitely seems strong. Guess he might be an option for the Dark Magicite if I need a backup healer? Gotta shove a bunch of eggs down his throat for that though quote:Cid's (7) BSB is notable because it doesn't have the usual enelement damage tax.

Oh well. To be fair, my physical wind options still aren't as strong as other people's (I have no Cloud BSB2/USB or Zack CSB). I'm going to keep Cid in mind for the next time the Gi Nattak Torment opens up since I just could not clear the 300 a few weeks ago.

I beat a magicite! Fire and Tidus was definitely the MVP, but Kimahri was surprisingly useful. Stacking on those imperils was good but his damage and heal saved me several times. Took me about 2 minutes though so I really had to figure out buff timings. Rikku especially was tough - with just the USB to keep up and no lifesiphon or wrath she actually spent a lot of the time just using attack to build meter.

Here's my final haul from the fest period. I did do a couple pulls on the VI banner and so I'll be including them here. USBs Shadow - Oh gently caress yes. Faris - I heard you already had a wind imperil for Faris, so here's an infinitely better one! Setzer - Ahahaha, I don't even have enough 5* motes to think of diving you yet! Tyro - Does the free one count? Auron - I honestly haven't even had a chance to use it yet, but drat there's a lot of utility baked into this one. Shantotto - Ohohohohohohohoho! Noctis - I only had his SSB before, and I think I will continue using Noctis in a SSB-spam role even with this. OSBs Kain - Nope, not going to convince me to use him. Sad too, because Kain w/ SSB was one of my strongest DPS options one year ago today. Raines - I don't have his BSB, so I might find a use for this somewhere. CSBs Warrior of Light - I will take that Holy Chain, thank you very much! BSBs Larsa - Snagged from the healer lucky. Hey, let's give a guy who already has Y'sh, Vanille, Sarah, Rosa, and Eiko BSBs yet another good one! Aeris - I didn't really need more healing BSBs, but they're always welcome for CM purposes. Warrior of Light - Before fest I only had his ancient-rear end unique soul break, and now I've got a permanent holy squad member. Celes 2 - I had already done a full LD on her before pulling this, and now I feel even more vindicated. Relm - Another healing BSB eh? Another case of not truly needing it since I have Eiko's USB for Last Stand, but in this case Last Stand on a healing BSB is a very handy thing. Shadow - This was my gem-only selection. Wasn't even on my mind going in to this fest, but when you pull a Shadow USB your hand gets forced. Balthier - Apparently he's the best fire-imperil-er in the game with this. Aphmau - Help, I'm drowning in healer BSBs. Well, actually this one has a Faithga and DPS element to it, so this one is rather neat!  TINY BEE - Of course it had to happen.Hope 2 - I'm flush with better offensive mage options, but somewhere down the line I can see this thing being very helpful. Fujin - And this was my crystal tower selection. I already had all the best healing options, plus some dupes of the better DPS options, so welcome to the show Fujin! SSBs - Mostly sadness this way. Zell - Not even his "good" one. Minwu - Hey, this will actually be handy! Quistis - This is her Hastega/Quickcast. Useless to me because I have Leylines. Edea - Magical source of dark imperil I guess.

Yup, assuming Tidus is already using Sapphire Shot, you can always give Blue Deep to Rikku to build meter faster. That's what I do for Liquid Flame, although I'm building meter for her BSB imperil instead

Eh, Yuffie's BSB (and Edge's very similar BSB on the gem select) is functional, but it's not super amazing. If all you need from a water bsb is straight water damage on a good character it's fine, but not spectacular. Kimarhi/Rikku's imperil BSBs are probably better options overall.

I think I won the CT draw: Wow! No dupes, excellent items. I just got Lion's BSB on one of the Lucky Draws, and am just a little sad I finally finished Vaan's LD because now she is a breaking powerhouse. Seifer's sword is interesting, a great +fire statstick but he probably won't be getting much use on my teams. First Earth Burst with Tifa's fist, and another sword for my avatar. Yuna's USB is a great prize, and brings up a dilemma for CT relic choice. I had been planning on Vanille's BSB since I need both a FFXIII healing BSB and an instant cast healing BSB. However, Yuna's USB is my only current relic for her, and I feel like I would need her BSB2 in order to replace Eiko on some of my teams. I already have Selphie's USB and rarely use her. Any thoughts? Vanille BSB or add Yuna's BSB2 to her USB?

It will kill you. 2) Ninja magic rules, go nuts. 3) It's been power-creeped hard besides that, so a few of the healer BSBs will murder it. 4) Diaga if you have it works pretty good. 5) Is summon magic allowed? If so hi Alexander. Can't remember this one. 6) But yeah ninja magic is pretty rad and back when it came out there were no good 5* ninja options so it's even BETTER now.

Probably the worst of the bunch, aoe entry is rarely useful Tidus: My water stuff is already absurd this just pushed it over the top Rikku: Something I've wanted for a while Shantotto: OHOHOHOHO OSBs Terra: I wanted this forever, now to sit tight for her banner to get her other stuff Fujin: Makes short work of Golem Tidus: I got his USB this fest so this isn't that great, but hey +water sword BSBs Bartz 3: Got his BSB1 and 2, this rounds off the set Shadow: Godly Celes 2: Perfect Waifu Seymour: Rubbish Auron 2: Rubbish! Aphmau: Very nice Curilla: Not bad Gabranth: Okay I guess? The game seems determined to give me his stuff Iris: Sure why not yet another healer BSB (only realms I miss a healer BSB for are I, II, V and VIII) SSBs Umaro: This is fun Gabranth: Fart LMRs Shadow: I chased this way too hard Setzer: Same Beasteh fucked around with this message at 22:04 on Oct 6, 2017 |

SSB Cid Raines 2: goes nicely with BSB Eiko: meh Kuja: sure I'll take for 100 gemmer Rinoa: k Sephiroth 2: k Setzer 2: won't be that useful since Full Break will do the same thing Shadow: but I wanted BSB or USB  BSB Aphmau: seems interesting Balthier: seems like a cool fire imperil Cid: eh Cid Raines: picked from gem-only, poo poo rules Cloud 2: nice, would've been sad if I only got USB, don't have enough resources to hone Omega Drive or whatever Dagger: +lightning alright Eiko: alright Garland: gently caress this thing it trolled me three times as a 1/11 during the fest (once during LD2, twice during Phase 1) Ingus: alright Leila: sure I'll take my first poison BSB Locke: eh Luneth: happy for this after getting OSB from LD3 Matoya: meh Minfilia: only had her SSB so it'll be another nice option Noctis: wanted his USB but this will do Onion Knight: got it from 100 gem on Phase 1 too, nice Porom: eh Relm: nice, another Last Stand option Rinoa 2: nice, needed more ice Sephiroth 2: pretty dope Setzer: very nice Squall 2: dupe Strago: 1/11 CT pull, but someone earlier explained that it's actually pretty good Vanille: already have Rosa USB and Y'shtola BSB so this probably won't see much use Yuna 2: picked from CT selection, wanted to give her something else besides USB, needed more summon stuff, no ragrets Zidane 2: pulled this and USB at the same time, awesome Zell: guess this will be a cool alternative to Setzer USB Cloud: only took me 6x11 + 2x3 to get it... got on final x3 pull lol Firion: +holy stick Lightning: I don't have anything else or even enough hones to make this good, but glad to take it for now Setzer: I got all his stuff instead of Shadow's, which honestly might have worked out better for me Shantotto: not sure if I can make good use of this yet but seems good Squall: but why every 2nd spellblade... Tidus: not what I wanted from the banner but I did need more water Tyro 2: duh Warrior of Light: +holy stick Zidane: poo poo owns, will be my first thief OSB Luneth: this one actually helped me for III Torment Onion Knight: yesss, finally some heavy armor, and glad to get after getting BSB from 100 gem Rydia: Steiner: Tifa: LMR Setzer: awesome, especially since I got everything for him Unique Tifa: f u game jebeebus fucked around with this message at 23:28 on Oct 6, 2017 |

By being good at relic drawsiamsosmrt posted:drat man, you cleaned up this fest. You could probably not pull again till 3rd anniversary and still be well ahead of the curve. Congrats! That's more or less the plan with a detour to pick up Vivi USB + LMR and Onion's USBs

Since everyone is posting hauls, thought I'd take a look at mine. 250 Mythril + 75 on the Luckies spent. Ultra Fran - I now own both Ice Imperils, and the Quickcast buff on this one makes it nice for Magicite. And a 6* Bow. Yda - Meh. I guess I could hone up the Fire Monk stuff but it's not that amazing? It does make me wish triple blink worked with the Ninja skills. And Yda had Ninja. 6* Fist is nice though. Squall - Also meh, mainly cause I grabbed his BSB2 this event. Tidus - Really nice since I had no good water stuff at the start of the fest. Chain Dupes: Shantotto - A stronger stat stick. Overstrike Jecht - Bad. And I got Tidus USB so I already have a 6* Blitzball. Dupes: Tyro - This was my guarantee on the 30 Draw. Burst Sarah - My new favourite Medica. Deuce - Nice Magicite opener, but I have too many good ATK/MAG SBs Rikku - Much needed Imperil Water, although the commands sorta suck for DPS Edgar - CHAINSAW Kefka - POISON THE WHOLE CITY (Seriously, if you haven't seen the animation for this one) Minfilia - Technically my best Holy SB, I've been using Cecil BSB -> Cloud USB RW -> Cecil 3-hit SSB for my Holy DPS needs Thancred 2 - Why more poison. Lightning 2 - I now have everything but her LMR and USB for SSB+ relics. Shelke x2 - I was going to dive her anyways, but she's now my best Support Tifa - Didn't really have any Physical Earth stuff except Yang's Imperil Cid VII - More physical Wind stuff Squall 2 - I now have an Ice team Tiny Bee - TINY BEE Seymour - Eh. I have Kuja's Imperil already. I guess if I want to use Ultima Weapon? Dupes: Garnet 1, Vaan BSB, Papalymo. Other then Vaan, they're pretty good dupes. Super: Nabaat SSB - Actually a good dual break if I want a mage focused support. Tellah SSB - Ramza USB-lite, just with no Wrath-spamming and a much more common buff Quistis SSB2 - Bad. Dupes: Lann SSB - Still bad. Not bad overall. I didn't come out with my two big targets, Rikku and Cloud USBs, but I corrected my Water and Ice holes (and, uh, Poison if I ever need it). Got some new great healing bursts, even more of a reason to dive Shelke, and an AoE Powerchain with Tellah. Still need to choose my selection relic from Crystal Tower too. I've decided if I want to pull for Larsa I'll wait for his XII event in 6 months, so I'm down to Fujin, Yuna 2 or Y'shtola.

^^^^^^^^^ If you like him yeah Why not? Ultras Cloud- Wasn't aiming for this at all, I threw a pull chasing Squall's BSB2 and hit this intead Luneth- Was hoping for Firion's but I guess the game wanted me to have Wind Yda's- Meh it'll be useful for Cms OverStrikes Onion Knight- yay stats Vivi- Once I level him up he should contribute greatly with Sealion Fang- More wind Beatrix- I'm not sure if there is room for her on the Holy team but its another 6* holy sword Rinoa- Earth is something I'm not great in so this was cool Bursts Y'shtola-Dupe Aphmau- Lighting Yuna2 cool Quina- It seems...interesting Rikku- I picked her for my gem selection as I wanted something for her to do inbetween USB casts but I'm not sure if this was the best idea Cloud's BSB2- This was the relic I got from going 1/11 in the gem selection. Initially I didn't think much about it but then I drew his USB lol Yuffie- I pulled her USB back at the beginning of summer when I got back into the game and wow the new ninja abilities and En-Water make her great, she absolutely shreds Living Flame Rapha- I might get around to this eventually but eh Reks- It seems really cool but I already have way better hastegas Kain- The ether effect is neat I guess Steiner- Yay fire damge Edea- Gives me a full magic ice team Fang- More Wind super Selphie- M-blinks are cool Leila- Uhh FF2 synergy armor Overall I'm super happy with my pulls I only pulled on all 3 luckies and banner 1 and 3 once each. I did cave for the gem only pull but I got something for 2 really good characters so yeah. Now I'm going to hoard until Yuffie's USB2 comes out and go hard on that banner.

gently caress this robot. Surprisingly easy once you actually get your stops to connect.

Man I have to admit I am kinda salty that I'm apparently the only person who didn't pull a single USB despite spending 300 mythril total this fest. That's some poo poo.
