Decided to pull on Banner 3, because I had a lot of lightning imperil relics and the only dupe I had was Cid's Chaos Blade, but...



Sometimes, this game doesn't like me.

There's a bartz banner in a little while that has his USB, BSB2, BSB3, and LMR that gives a chance at triplecasting spellblade abilities. Also Faris' USB2. And that Galuf glove that gives the invulnerability thing that I'd like to have. That's probably my next target to save for.

Yeah I'm saving for that too, since Faris is one of my most used characters so If I can get her LMR that'll be swell. Also I want that Galuf glove so bad.

I pulled on the FFVII banner and got Gatling Gun (Not impressed) and Cid's Goggles (Alright armor at least). Not gonna pull for FFX, I'll just save for the FFV banner.

Extremely agreed.

I can't really get a good thing going for Magicite Dungeons, but I think it's just because I'm not using the right buffs/healers.

I have Ramza's ultra (History's Truth) and his super (Shout), should I level him up to 99 ASAP for this? I've just been using Gogo (Fantastic Symmetry) + Krile (Sheepsong) for boosts but I feel like Ramza might be more appropriate, especially for more physical-heavy teams.

Also the only Burst Healers I have is Penelo (Evanescence) and Yshtola (Asylum). But Yshtola is only level 50 right now because I thought she was only really worth using when you pull Stoneskin too. Since we already get Stoneskin in Magicite I should probably just start leveling her up and using her, right?

He is going to bring a whole lot more to the table than Gogo, and he has Ninja access which is particularly good vs the Magicite bosses since they can ignore resistance.
Oh yeah I always forget he has Ninja. Yeah, that'll help a lot! I even have some pretty good instruments to slap on him.

Cinnamon Bear posted:

-It really depends what bosses you're attempting, but using Ramza+Yshtola are probably the best things you could be doing.
Hmm, that's what it's been looking like. Alright, I'll have to make sure to level those two up next. Before I could get around using whatever characters I wanted but Magicite cuts no slack. Thanks for the advice!

Somebody motivate me to actually beat the Nightmare bosses so I can try Magicite content. I've only beaten the Ultima, Crushdown, Northern Cross, and Quadruple Foul ones.

You should try beating Dervish because Atomos is a hilariously easy boss you can out-damage before it can get any turns off.

Also, consider beating Meltdown cause the skill is really, really good.

I only wanted the Fairy Bow or Faris LMR, but just couldn't get it.



Well at least the Chicken Knife + Bartz BSBs will make a few magicites easier.

Just barely don't have enough damage. Asylum and Hidden Bloom is really great healing for this fight, but even with an Entrust bot and Shout+Truth, Laguna just isn't putting out enough damage. I plan on diving him when he comes out so I should be able to do it then (Laguna gets 35% chance to Dualcast Machinist), but jeez.

(Note: Bismark was at max Imperil, the Wind Imperil is just from an extra Pirate Princess after I ran out of Entrusts.)

Can you afford to drop Aerith for another DPS? A sole DPS just isn't going to cut the mustard in a lot of cases unless it's an OSB-user with strong support from the rest of the team or someone with a very good USB. It doesn't even have to be a Lightning character (although it would help).
I finally did it! Thank you for the advice! :toot:


Swapped Aerith for CoD so I could keep healing/shellga but use Radiant Shield. It was just enough.

I recently dived Gogo! As it turns out, Mimicry is fun and good! Beat the 300 V-Torment yesterday in just 2 tries with Exdeath, Krile, Gogo(V), Gogo(VI), and Penello. Stacking Mag buffs and spamming powerful summons 3-4 times a turn is extremely good.

Are there any new Mimes coming out in the future?

sweet jiminy christmas

after so many tries against so many different bosses ending around 70-75% at best(with one Fenrir run where he had 30% left drat his AoE slow) I finally clear my first magicite dingus.

He was an rear end in a top hat in the first place.

Congrats! I only managed to beat Bismark myself. Makes you feel good, and like there aren't any others-nope nope nope!

When I fought Famfrit (Hard) in Multiplayer, the eye enemies didn't attack at all and weren't targetable?

I mean it ended up making the fight easier so whatever.
