Holy poo poo Jenova Death's Red Light is one-shotting my level 80 healer even through Shell, Ark Blast, and Magic Breakdown

Might have to revisit this when I have more than 1 fire resistance accessory. Insane speed + instant KO moves are not gonna work out for me even with a shitload of resetting, I think.

It's physical

E: oh hey there's a whole other page and it's already been addressed, nvm

Just started this game, should I just grind away at the realms or the a crack at some of the event stuff? I only have Cloud, Kain, a White Mage, and Black Mage.

You will not be able to finish any event right now, but you should get as far into any event as you can manage because that's where you get the new characters. Use offensive Roaming Warriors to cheese boss fights in the higher difficulties. You'll get a bunch of growth eggs from events that you can use to power level your party (don't be stingy with them in the early game). Remove the White Mage and Black Mage from your party ASAP, only named characters are any good.

So I ventured into the event and was able to get Serah, Vanille, and Snow, but the next level raped me so I guess that's it for that. I also got enough Mithril to do my first 11 pull (should I have done this?). I pulled on the Realms banner because that post that dude linked said to. I got a Guard Stick, some Cats Claws, and some kind of 4* Spear that I can't remember the name of, along with a bunch of 3* junk probably. I don't have Aeris yet, but I assume I'll get her working my way through realms.

Was this a good pull? Should I be saving for 11 pulls? Should I be pulling on the realms banner? There's like 35 banners to pull from, and I don't understand what any of the text on them means.. soooo yea.

Save up 50 mythril for Black Friday, and pull on the lucky banner. Then pull on the Keeper's Choice Soul Breaks Vol. 2. There are really, really good items to pull from, and you get to choose a free 5 star piece of armor.

3 star stuff is absolutely not junk if you're just getting started. You'll notice that every piece of equipment corresponds to a specific final fantasy game. I'm assuming the Guard Stick is Aerith's, which means the equipment is from FFVII. Whenever you are in an FFVII dungeon, that weapon gets a massive stat boost, called realm synergy. It will take a long, long time for you to get enough 4 and 5 star equipment for each realm. Your 3 star stuff seems worthless at first, but with realm synergy they'll be nearly as strong as 5 star equipment without realm synergy.

e: realm lucky draws are always good. Only 25 mythril for 11 relics. This is always valuable in the early game. That was a good decision.

Anyone else ever had the issue where launching the app just goes to a black screen and doesn't advance further?

I had this yesterday. Cleared the cache, reinstalled the app, still not working. The solution was to wait for a minute and then the app finally advanced from the black screen to the title screen. Works fine now

Yeah pretty much, dunno bout last thread though <_<
But its been pretty clear Ive had to force myself to continue to play through the events. This pull wave was pretty much the last straw.

Anyway its been fun gents, godspeed and goodluck.

I'll miss you. it was fun reading your rage posts in Skinner's voice :rip:

I went into Calca and Brina a bit under prepared and barely won due to luck. I went full mage meta, using Aetherial Pulse as RW with Multi Break as my only sources of mitigation, and with no healing spells. I was lucky enough to have the single-target spells spread out instead of concentrated on my party members, and only Golbez died at the end.

In conclusion, native Sheepsong owns.

I've done Ifrit a few times, and in every successful run someone marks the nail as "1" and people start focusing it. By that time I usually have a second Ark Blast up so I just blast it.

What do those marks do? Set the priority for untargetted actions? Or is it just a sign that hopefully tells your party "attack THIS you idiots"

Ok, so then what must have happened is Ramza was targetting the Nail, and when it died the game moved his attack to target the biggest threat.

Which was Rosa.

I think it's more likely that Ramza's controller wasn't very smart and killed you on accident

No guantlets, but I got the onion sword and both of Arc's SSBs, so my FFIII synergy is finally halfway decent. That makes, what, 15 medicas I have now?

OK has amazing stats at level 99. :stare:

Gave him Combat 5 for now because I have decent supports already, and since I've only got the SSB, OK's role will be mostly DPS

Dragoon abilities are cool because they allow you to shove the character into the back row. There's a ranged 4* Dragoon ability that deals good damagw and makes all jump abilities land instantly. It's really decent and makes the 5* Dragoon abilities even better. They're not super amazing or anything, but they're not bad

Ok here's my setup for Ahriman. Tell me what I'm doing wrong.

What's your RW? You could probably use some Breakdowns.

Elephant Ambush posted:

Fang BSB, Cid goggles BSB, Faris BSB, Selphie magic blink SB, and SS2. My plan is to imperil Wind, then use Cid's Big Brawl, then Lifesyphon and repeat.

RW is 99 Shout.

Again, my problem is that he spams aoe 3 times before I get off Shout/Wall/Faris. On the few runs where I survived to get every buff and debuff in place, he stones either Y'shtola or Selphie. Worse yet, even with Protectga/Shellga/SS2, he has aoe attacks that still do 1,000+ damage. I don't have any FF3 synergy other than OK and he's only level 85 so he's not good enough to do anything useful yet.

I suggest getting OK to level 99 and changing your RW to Aetherial Pulse. That'll free up ability slots, give you heavy regen, and give you a native hastega

You can probably swap out Yshtola if her replacement uses breakdowns

Elephant Ambush posted:

This isn't helpful. If I could easily get OK to 99 I would have already. Which character has Aetherial Pulse? I don't have everything in this game memorized.

Y'shtola is my wall and I can't do this without wall. I also already pointed out that I have Faris' BSB for breakdowns.

Aetherial Pulse is one of Yshtola's SBs, it grants the party Protectga, Shellga, and Heavy Regen. I didn't know what Faris's burst commands were, my bad.

If OK is at 85, then doesn't that mean you have access to the highest difficulty FF3 Exp dungeon? OK can solo that at lvl 85 if you use a BSB RW. Once he's at lvl 89 he'll have lvl 99 stats in the fight against Ahriman.

Ah christ, this Ultimate+ is actually a goddamn nightmare in multiplayer, at least when trying to use pick up groups. Last time, whatever tactics worked just fine, but now all those level 67 Clouds with Blade Beam, r1 Launch and r2 Armor Break are a goddamn liability that loses matches.

Kinda makes me wish I could kick people when I'm the raid leader.
