BearPlayingGuitar posted:The new relic banner just went up. As a new player would it be okay to throw my first 11 pull into this and then save mythril until whatever crazy banners are coming up? Yeah, go for it. There are a lot of nice boosts and hastegas on this banner.

Zurai posted:Unfortunately Quick Cast has diminishing practical returns and the relevant ninja abilities basically have inherent quick cast (they have 0.825 second cast time, which is exactly half of the standard of the standard offensive ability 1.65 second cast time). To put it another way, Kelger getting his Quick Cast saves him about 1.24 seconds over the course of 3 turns (and you can re-proc while you still have turns remaining, so it doesn't always provide that full 1.24 seconds of time), while Yuffie/Edge/Shadow get the better part of an entire free turn (missing only their chase, if you have their USB) every time their Double Cast procs. Ah, that makes sense. I was hoping to get a third chance at an elite ninja, but I'll probably end up just diving Shadow eventually. His BSB and dive set seems potent enough. BearPlayingGuitar posted:The new relic banner just went up. As a new player would it be okay to throw my first 11 pull into this and then save mythril until whatever crazy banners are coming up? So the thing about the 14 banner is that it does have some good relics, not the least of which being Wall, which is basically the best thing a newbie could ever pull. That being said the pool is like 50 or whatever, so the likelihood of you getting wall is very slim. What staples do you have at the moment? It may still be best to wait. (e: staples: hastega/wall/boostga/potent medicas/last stand)

I have yet to do any relic pulls so technically no staples. How about the new banner with all the instruments? If not I can always keep waiting until some better stuff!

That said, they do know that it's borderline essential and that people will whale like nuts for it, which is why Tyro gets a USB in the next anniversary celebration that is Wall + Proshellhastega. Now not only can they reissue Wall in a capacity that will show up on curated banners, but power creep inches a little further.

KataraniSword posted:The two Wall SBs were made before SSBs even existed. To add to this JP has a Gem-Only pull a few months back that could be pulled max twice. After the pulls you got a selection of one of a large number of LMR, a bunch of (entirely pointless SSBs) and both Walls. So if that pops up in Global anyone who wants it has a guaranteed Wall as long as you're willing to pay the Whale Price.  Here's the reddit thread with the specifics for how it was in JP: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/6sr5ee/dream_selection_jp_relic_draw_thread/

Pulled on BRA * BRA because I like buffs. Went 1/11. This is no ordinary 1/11, though.  It's not even one I'm likely to ever use!

Did my first 11 pull on the Bra*Bra banner and got Mog's USB (Mog's Timpani) which seems pretty neat! Also got his SSB as well (Gaia Bell). That should tide me over to hoard the rest of my Mythril for now.

I got 2x Edward USB and 1x Edward SSB. Not bad at all, though I just combined the dupe as I have more than enough 6* weapons and FF4 harps available. Also it's refreshing to not have 3+ events in my queue for one night. I still have half of The Lord of Crags to deal with, but between that and BRA*BRA I can easily knock things out by noon tomorrow.

Pulled to get Mog's USB, instead I got Edward's BSB, Cait Sith's SSB, and both of Kefka's BSB's. Once I can legend dive Kefka I think he works similar to a magic version of Squall's BSB2, so that'll be nice although I don't think I can legend dive Kefka for like 4 more months.

Mog's USB will be a good fixer for your team for a while and remain relevant after getting stronger boosts. His SSB is much less useful, but still a DD/Debuff attack you can throw around every now and then. Pull on the upcoming FFXV or TYPE-0 banners for medicas and it'll keep you going for a while

I just want all of you to know that I was in the checkout line at the local grocery store when I pulled on BRA*BRA and had to try very, very hard to not look like a lunatic. OK, maybe not that hard, but this pull will be quite instrumental in cutting my magicite times down:

Coincidentally, none of them have received a new SB in Japan for a very long time - this is Kefka's last, and Quistis/Edgar haven't gotten a new SB, let alone a LMR, for over a year.

Edgar's is Imperil Poison actually, and the only one at that. Also I looked at this earlier and Quistis doesn't even have a Legend Dive at all yet. It's really sad.

YoshiOfYellow posted:Edgar's is Imperil Poison actually, and the only one at that. She hasn't had a new relic since her OSB (which was a while ago). She's also one of three FFVIII characters that doesn't have one (the other two being the recent additions Kiros and Ward). I mean she has a 6* relic, which counts for something. But I think they're not sure which way they want her to go, since her SSBs are support-based and her BSB/OSB are DPS-based. Best they could do is to give her something like Dancer and make her into a hybrid DPS-debuffer.

I'd pull on this because Edward and Mog USB look bonkers but the threat of pulling a dupe Cait Sith or Eiko BSB just gives me way too much pause here. That and there's a really loud windy noise where my mythril pile was because I blew a shitload on the anniversary stuff. On the flip I drew that hamster from 14's fire BSB on a dollar pull so that is pretty dope, I think

Electric Phantasm posted:I just noticed Y'shtola's Circlet resist sleep, if I pair with an accessory that also resist sleep do they stack? No, highest effect counts. I'm a bit conflicted on whether to draw on the Melodies banner or not. I'd love Mog's USB in particular, but I'd also really like his BSB. The consolation prizes on this banner (Edward USB, Cait Sith BSB, OK BSB) aren't bad, but I'm not really interested in Kefka's stuff or some of the SSBs. His USB will definitely return on the next banner, possibly his LMR, and maybe his BSB, but I don't know how good or bad the banner's going to be. The upside is that there are only so many other bards/singers they could stick on there outside of weird cases like Onion - there's Deuce, Penelo, Sarah and Echo I think, not counting Divable options like Faris or Iris. Garnet might get a chance in too if she gets her buff to Bard 5 before then.

I was planning to save all my mythril for the FFTA banner but I figured I'd go for a roll on this one since I didn't have any dupes on it. Got Kefka's BSB1 and Edward's BSB. I'm not sure how much use I'll get out of this lamia's harp, but I'm pretty happy with Dancing Mad, I've been wanting more poison damage coverage in my SBs and I wanted an excuse to use Kefka anyway Also, I got Thancred's BSB on the daily draw from the FFXIV banner, what in the hell is this? physical ninja gear? thancred why is your skillset so weird and bad?????

I yanked once and got Edward USB, Kefka BSB2, Cait BSB, and Mog SSB, which rather nicely makes up for throwing 150 mythril into FFXV for nothing but garbage SSBs. Edward immediately got egged 1-99 and slotted nicely into my Sealion team. I doubt I'll ever make use of Kefka(my dark mage team is fine with Raines/Kuja), but I can see some uses for Cait BSB.

I did a BRA pull and am slightly salty. Got Kefka BSB2 and Mog's ssb. Was excited to see the Earth boost for Mog's relic, until I realized it was a weapon that like no one can use. Kefka's BSB2 I was excited about at first, until I saw that the Sandslice review on Reddit was wrong and it's no where near as strong as I was led to believe. Well drat.

I just remembered I have Quistis OSB. I never use Quistis. The music banner is good if I need MAG boosts right? I might pull on it if so, I don't have too many of those. Edit: In fact, I think the only ones I have are just other 30-30 mag/atk which i'm never going to use because I have VoF. Vonnie fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Oct 26, 2017 |
