KataraniSword posted:It's also why Sephiroth's BSB1 is a sleeper hit vs things like Magicite - Despair, the burst's first command, is two DEF-ignoring hits. It may take a few more buffs to hit 2x9999, but with just shout and a good synergy weapon you should reliably be hitting 2x7000-8000. Physical piercing attacks are even crazier than ninja magic, because the formula actually has no soft cap. The formula is just potency * ATK^0.9, which means slightly diminishing returns, but it keeps growing to infinity. A +30% ATK boost translates to 27% more damage, no matter how high your ATK already is (assuming you're below the buff soft cap). Ninja magic has a much sharper falloff after the soft cap, going down to MAG^0.25. No wonder physical piercing attacks are so rare - literally just Seph's CMD1 and a 4* monk ability that only does one hit.

Enelements actually increase SB damage by 80%, not 50%.

Mithross posted:Just dollar pulled Wakka's LMR, with my only other relic for him being his unique. I think I was just trolled hard. Which unique? If it's Status Reels, 3 extra seconds of -50% DEF/RES (which is effectively a 15% damage boost for the whole party) is pretty nice. Definitely good for CMs. If it's Attack Reels then yeah you got trolled.

BGrifter posted:Is Sapphire Shot getting buffed in the upcoming ability buffs patch? USB -> Cloud USB -> Sapphire Shot spam That's really all you need. Get him to 99 for his +30% water damage RM, and either Lifesiphon him to one bar or have another character Entrust him. Ace Striker just means more SB juice, and Sapphire Shot + chaser is actually higher dps than his USB.

YoshiOfYellow posted:So basically experiment with 'em a bit and see what sticks. Steiner BSB isn't very fancy or anything especially in the realm of USBs and the ability buffs right around the corner, but I was thinking/hoping maybe the extra hits against weakness may make it a bit more competitive. Especially because it's good 'ol Rusty and I'm glad to have something neat for him. His LD looks really solid as well. You can use the damage calculator (https://www.ffrktoolkit.com/damage_calculator.html) or just do the math. In this case you'd need to be doing at least 9999 * ( 4 / 320 ) * ( 260 / 5 ) = 6499 damage per hit with the cmd1 to make it better than Blazing Twinstrike.

For non-piercing attacks, each boost is worth about +11-12% more ATK or MAG below the cap and +44% more above it. For ninja magic, each boost is worth about +25% more MAG below the cap, and +107% more above it. (if my math is correct)

Yeah it sucks because it's random when she goes into tornado form, but here's a pro tip: she always goes into tornado form two turns after using Ray, so you can prepare for it. (yes it's entirely possible she'll never enter tornado form, making you lose a medal condition)

Don't bother with removing her haste. She has 625 speed so haste reduces her turn timer by a whole 0.16 seconds. Going full backrow is the better choice. Definitely bring Affliction Break (it reduces the chance of petrify too), and maybe even Mind Breakdown to lower the duration of stops that do connect.

Snazzy Frocks posted:How does the math on stat boosts from equipped magicite work again? Specifically what portions of each magicite are added from which the final percentage is drawn? The main magicite's stat and half of each sub magicite's stat get added together. Then the stat bonus levels get added together, with the highest one adding its full amount, the second highest adding half of its amount, the third highest adding a quarter, etc. You get 1% of the total stats per total bonus level, added after buffs. So Attack Boon level 10 gives 10% of the total ATK.

ceaselessfuture posted:A question for you math nerds out there: If you're above the soft cap with buffs with both the dagger and the sword, then the dagger is worth at least 200 more ATK, starting at just above the cap. If you're below the soft cap with buffs with both the dagger and the sword, then the dagger is worth at most 51 more ATK at just below the cap. If you're below the soft cap with the dagger and above it with the sword, it gets a little complicated but the dagger is worth somewhere between those two values.

Managed to snag Shout++ on followup rage pulls, as well as the LMRs for Ramza and Agrias and the BSBs for Marche and Mel. That's definitely a far cry better than Nurse/11. I still really want Agrias's USB, but at this point I'm risking too many dupes and the very last thing I need is more holy FFT swords. I'm probably going to end up pulling anyway.

A cool thing about Ramza's LMR is that if you bring him to a boss that likes to talk a lot at the start (like literally every FFT boss if you bring Ramza), then you actually get to input his first command while the boss is talking and the ATB is paused for zero time loss.

On the one hand they're limited items so I wanna hoard em, on the other hand now that I'm up to 140 there's no really stamina-hungry stuff since that big retro dungeonfest ended. And the weekly refills are very cheap. When in doubt use them on XP dungeons.

I think a good general rule of thumb is that if there isn't a scrolling list of relics, it's not worth paying full price for. Obviously there are exceptions, like the recent Black Friday pull, but not having a scrolling list means that the pool is way too big to predictably get something useful.
