Three rainbow orbs:
Riot Blade, Sphairai and Assault Gun.
Super Soulbreaks for Auron and Yda are especially welcome, and I guess ~~Barrett can tote around an even bigger gun~~ I'm hungry for rosetta stones anyways.

Ashe's BSB on dollar pull, Vann's on the 11.
Is Yoichi bow only good lightning imperil or are there others? I am covered for FF12 synergy.

OSBs don't excite me for this reason. You can't really do a straight comparison, but a solid BSB with utility is going to be better in most situations.

Having both is best of all!

OSB's seem like a bomb that's ideally dropped after you've already launched your BSB. My ideal run with Terra would be BSB, whichever command gets me the most x2 or 3 and smashing face with her OSB after that. Not that I have her OSB yet, but I'm saving for that banner.

I don't have that SB... though if they don't change up the banner I think it's on the same one as the OSB!

I hate every modern presentation of Terra because I stapled the Atma Weapon to her hand and wreaked everything's face forever. Magic was for nerds and as far as I'm concerned Terra's a Spellblade at absolute most.

Beasteh posted:

Luckily her OSB is a sword

Both these things, which is why I'm hitting Banner 1 hard if they don't change her stuff. I never got her Tiara, and it would be a nice thing to find while I chase her O-weapon.

^^^^ I've wanted Trance (Morph I guess for us folks that played FF"3") for Terra ever since I heard about BSBs

Speaking of Knights of the Round, I hope FFRK is around long enough for a King Thordan bossfight (with a THOREX-like showdown for whatever hardmode stuff they do at the time)

For additional characters, I have no problem with Master Monk. I played the original, long before there was a single warrior of light rebranding. They can bring back the other evolved classes too.

I'd be even happier if they reached out to other Squaresoft classic properties, bringing in characters from Romancing SaGa and especially those from SD3/"Secret of Mana 2" or Chrono Trigger for that matter.

two TERROR BALTIMORE relics and Platinum Sword. please god, please

This pretty much lays claim to all of my mithril. I'll admit, I was really hoping "Blood Sword" was labelled Atma/Ultima Weapon, because in most of my games she used that weapon pretty much every time she was on-screen.

Mercury Crusader posted:

In retrospect, Terra getting it was probably a bit too soon considering her BSB isn't that great beyond having multi-water damage, but I'm a FFVI fanboy.

Celes and Locke also have fire BSBs (fire/holy in fact) so the three of them wreck poo poo with the imperil Locke's SB drops on entry.

If you're willing to dive, Terror had that fire damage bonus too.

edit: are we getting 6* reforging mats soon? I'm not whaling on Blood Sword, but the cruel temptation is there.

A bunch of silver orbs, Platinum Sword and BLOOD SWORD. I've got to get that tiara, somehow.
Edit: holy crap O-weapons are giant stat sticks. Terra's Blood sword merely enhanced to max w/ 3 stock augments still has significantly more magic than 8* reforged SSB relics.

Beasteh posted:

OSB would be my guess and not getting it after 30 pulls is extremely unlucky

Friendly reminder to Never Chase the Dragon.

There but for RNG went I.

The question for me is, given that OSB on its own and without any dupes or rosetta stones is far and away more powerful than any weapon I've ever drawn since I started playing last year, how hard do I chase a dupe claiming I'm really after a tiara?

During the ultimate Tritoch fight, TERROR pretty much did just under 160k damage in three turns on her own. Still, bigger and badder challenges lay ahead.

Piebald Hell posted:

Keeping in mind that I started yesterday, is a party of Tyro (Gungnir/forgettable 3* armour/Locke's Bandana), Celes (Lightbringer/other forgettable artifact), Terra (blood sword), Lenna and Butz (yes yes I know it's Bartz shh) at level 35-50 going to be able to manage past hard difficulty? I'm kinda scared to try.

Absolutely give that stuff a try.

Make sure you craft your breaks (and breakdowns, you should be able to farm just about any of the casino stages and making those are key)

I tell you the truth, Terra's blood sword is a ridiculous pile of stats even before Terra actually uses its Soul Break.

the Orb of Zot posted:

4 11-pulls because Christmas presents and boredom combined result in suboptimal behavior.

Final tally:
3x Tiara (combined and reforged into a superhat; 43 MAG before RS sounds like the best idea ever, right?)
1x Platinum Sword (combined with my original Platinum Sword)
2x Thyrus (combined with my original Thyrus then reforged; I now have a new generic superstrong mind stick)
1x Shura Glove (I heard good things about Refia BSB but I'm not certain whether or not it's worth giving up PCecil BSB)

Not that great of a haul, especially given how I had Vivi's BSB already so he does the whole "EnFire mage" thing better than Terra.

This is I suppose karma catching up to me for my 5/11 BSB-only Lucky Draw pull and then a 3/11 on the Buff-only Lucky Draw that was also all BSBs.

Anyways, Valigamaria died a fiery death at the hands of Exdeath, who set up Grand Cross and then just kept spamming 9999x3 Meltdowns while the rest of the party sat around and did basically nothing. Exdeath continues to not disappoint.

Pretty jealous of that tiara. Superhats are awesome! I won't be able to farm enough mythril for another go at that banner, but I'm pretty sure Tiara will be on the next VI banner too. Next time, Tiara. Next time.

3/11 2x Alphinaud's robe and Minfilia's SSB shield. I'll try giving it another shot after I actually pick these characters up.

Edit: I'm wondering who should dive deep into the record spheres. Terra is completely maxed, and OK's missing ninja & magic (they're unlocked, just haven't found a reason to pursue them yet)

KPC_Mammon posted:

I put together a kinda half-assed mage meta team and blew through a couple of fights far faster than my Luneth BSB + Greg BSB + Ramza Shout team ever could. I think I want to pick up more mage meta relics.

So far I have:
Quistis's BSB, which is ridiculously good.
Terra's OSB and (underwhelming) BSB. The OSB hits hard enough with prep that I've seen it damage cap against ultimate bosses.

Is Terra "good enough" at filling a DPS role without her Tiara?

What are important mage meta hones, once you get past the initial breakdown/proshellga required skills.

Well, you have your Ja 4* spells and you'll have your Chain-ga 5* spells as they become available.

I absolutely covet Terra's Tiara for the +10 magic as much as the enfire it gives her. That said, I don't have it but she still hits like a truck. As you master her soul breaks, SSB and higher give you +10 magic each time. Her OSB is such a massive pile of stats that even without combining it it's more powerful than even my reforged relics. (so of course I throw rosetta stones into it)

If you choose to dive her deep into the record spheres, (and probably nearly anybody qualifies for this) you're going to get some hefty returns. She'll have beefy HP at level 99 to go with high magic, and even though the BSB doesn't do anything special she can crank out good fire damage with it and hit the rare water weakness when necessary.

KPC_Mammon posted:

Help! I'm really tempted to legend dive terra since I have her USB, OSB, and lovely BSB. She is also my favorite character in the franchise.

Thing is, I'm pretty sure this is a terrible idea since the meta will be swinging hard towards physical next week and she shares motes with healers. The way motes are divided up seems to really favor physical teams since you'll be able to dive your top dps and top healer at the same time.

Could someone persuade me one way or the other regarding Terra?

Hi, Terra is also my favorite. I fed her motes the first time around and I'm feeding them to her first this time around, too. Your decision is fine - just note it comes with a cost.

I don't use Terra all the time. I use my full-time healers and support more often, especially when raiding. I know I'd get a lot of bang for my buck if I fed motes to Y'shtola, but those motes will counter eventually. Doing content with my favorite characters is what's fun for me in this game: especially if they hit like a truck.
