Another Oath Veil would be nice, but I only have 12 mythril and I can't really justify pulling on this. Especially since I already have SG and Shout (and Excalibur V).

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Get some of the RMs that make your attack command a magic attack! Maria, Vivi, Selphie, and Ovelia have em. Important to note: Selphie's RM, Flower of Trabia (turns attack into a holy magic attack) works off the MND stat, not MAG. So it's not a good idea if you're using a low MND mage like Kefka or Edea, but it's great for giving a White Mage character something to contribute in auto-battling trash mobs. So I decided to boost up some characters I'd pulled relics for today on Sundaily, and now that there's the awesome feature to sort equipment by unmastered SBs, I've been going down the list. Turns out I've had an SB for Amarant for months and never realized it! Dragon's Claw apparently has an SB attached to it and I had no idea. I mean, not that I ever would've used it anyway (it's bad because it conflicts with Shout I assume) but it's nice to know.

Dealing 70k damage with Finishing Touch sure was useful on the final form of the U+ since everyone had run out of hones on their abilities.  I'll do the U++ tomorrow. I have a lot of good mages, just hardly any in FFVII (only Yuffie and Cait Sith). I won't be going for CM so hopefully that'll help make it easier.

Whew, mastered Diamond Weapon, but no CM. Team was Krile, Rinoa, Yuffie, Selphie, and Cait SIth. One medal lost for actions taken, two lost for damage. I have lots of physical synergy gear for VII, but almost nothing magic, just Yuffie's Pinwheel, Cait's Green Megaphone, and a Striking Staff. This meant Krile had to equip non-synergy gear. The other problem was that Cait and Krile are both summoners, and my summon hones are low. Cait got 3 casts of Alexander and 3 of Leviathan and that was it. Krile had 3 of Phoenix and 4 of Ixion, but even under Sheepsong, Ixion was doing only about 4k damage per cast until Diamond Weapon closed the core. Rinoa had the Striking Staff and fared better, using Chain Blizzaga, then switching to Firaja when the core was closed. It did less damage, but built up the SB gauge faster. Yuffie just constantly cast Swift Bolt/Fire Veil (8 uses of each) and then went nuts with Bloodfest at the end...for very little damage (only about 4800). She put in a lot of work in the fight though, definitely the second most of the team, as when the core was closed she was doing around 7500 damage per ninja spell, exceeded only by Rinoa (9999 for every Firaja, 9k per BSB and burst commands).

CaptainPsyko posted:several other people double cut/TF/materia. Which is a waste in its own right, but I guess you can expose he core a little faster. Multi-hit attacks only count as one hit towards the core being exposed, actually. Doctor Mog even says this specifically in the hints, and I went through it myself when Yuffie's 8 hit Bloodfest only brought the count down by 1.

Did somebody say the Eiko event starts soon? Crap. The Lucky Draw starts tomorrow night, and I'm only at 15 mythril. That means that if I do the Lucky Draw, I won't be able to do an 11 pull on Eiko 1...this is a bad situation.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:How's your healer situation? If you already have a really good healer SB, Eiko 1 isn't as high a priority. I have three Magic Blink healing SBs (Rosa's, Selphie's and Ovelia's). I also have Penelo's War Dance, but that conflicts with Shout and isn't as good as Magic Blink. I just need IX synergy really badly. But I also need XIII synergy really badly. It's just annoying. I'm almost certainly going to do the Lucky Draw though, even if it's a bust it was only half price.

I pulled Selphie's ages ago during the first FFVIII event I was around for, I don't remember the theme but I remember I couldn't beat the +++ battle because it was Elvrae and I couldn't survive the full party wind attack. Rosa's bow was from the IV event with the really awful Cagnazzo Ultimate I believe, and Ovelia's was from one of the Triple Burst Blast banners.

I feel lucky. ...ooooh...not that lucky I guess. I already had a Starseeker, so I guess that'll just get turned into a 6* since I can't imagine needing two bows for XIII content. And well, I have something for Mustadio now. Not the one I wanted, but a high chance of slow is something nice to have? I really didn't need any more Tactics synergy though. I was hoping for III and XIII stuff.

Schwartzcough posted:And we're almost certain to get a FFXV event in late November/early December, and I'd be shocked if it wasn't an excellent banner. So again, might be worth saving up mythril. On a side note, I wonder what FF games they could use for content in the future? XV might become a Realm dungeon at some point. The only other FF game I think they could possibly make a Realm out of would be Crystal Chronicles, and I'd be surprised if they didn't do an event based on that at some point. Mystic Quest would be nice but I don't think it'll happen. Tactics Advance/A2 would probably just use FFT synergy, like how XIII-2/3 and X-2 used XIII and X synergy. This also means they probably won't do Realm dungeons based on those. I guess they could also do Dimensions, and they'll probably do Type-0 at some point too, and that's really it I think if they wanted to add more Realms, unless they did something crazy like Chocobo's Dungeon. They could do a Brave Exvius event I guess, but I figure if they were going to do that they would have by now. And for crossover events, they could always do the Chrono games or Bravely Default, which would be neat. Or hey, maybe we'll get events based on Spirits Within, Unlimited and Legend of the Crystals.

I thought that three R2 Diagas would be fine for the Guardian fight. NOPE. That's nowhere near enough casts to get through that HP when a level 80 Selphie with 546 Mind only does about 2500-3000 damage per cast.

I got nothing on the dollar pull on this banner, and being that I have no mythril at the moment and there's much better banners coming up, I can't justify spending on this one, especially when there's so little II content. I'm real jealous of the guy who pulled both Sun Blade and Rune Axe. Oh yeah, and finally got 50 mythril for a big pull on Eiko 1!  Well I didn't get the big prize, but I did get two good synergy weapons for IX content, and that's pretty nice. No complaints here, could've been a lot worse!

Reraise Nightmare beaten, but not mastered, because it's a loving dumb fight. Sorry that I don't have infinite loving casts of Esuna since it can apparently poison itself at will in the last fight. Oh you just cured poison from it and now your Esuna caster is at 0 ATB? TIME TO REPOISON MYSELF. Yeah, I guess you're supposed to bring two Esuna casters but gently caress that, I barely had enough hones to beat the thing as it was.SageAcrin posted:"Huh, I was planning on doing that, why not?" Yeah I didn't think of that either. Nothing else seems to be that great as far as holy bursts on top of that. Cecil's is hampered by the fact that everyone's going to be in the back row, plus the lenses seem to have pretty high defense, and Hope's BSB does pathetic damage. The first burst command is really good but using it on Evrae Altana results in a counter Tail Screw so that's unpleasant. Probably the best RW to bring would be MG VIII or Sheepsong (even though it won't increase Diaga's damage). Basically just something to put haste on the party.

Was going to use my MCIII from this event on Tyro, but then I noticed Ramza's sitting there, and I have to make my boy Ramza the strongest he can be. Sadly it seems his RM3 really sucks. But yeah, speaking of Ramza, his Unsung Hero burst was great for the U++ this event, I grabbed a Shout RW so he could make full use of it. Cait Sith did Multi Breakdown dances and some Alexander summons, Agrias used a couple of Aegis Strikes and then Saint's Cross, and Rinoa tried to keep up with Meteor and her BSB but didn't do great damage, not having any magic synergy at all for II really hurt her.

I wasn't going to pull at first, but it's a Lucky Draw and gently caress it, Always Be Pulling. Plus seeing people get sweet gear like Fran's Killer Bow tempted me. Ehhhhh...well...it's IX synergy, which I desperately need...so... That mote dungeon sucked, I used an all mage team and started out with Maria's Song for an RW, but even with Shellga up and them magic broken I was getting slaughtered by their spells. Next attempt took a SG RW and although it was long and painful, I came out on top, with only two medals lost for damage.

Finally, finally, after trying all day, I beat the stupid cannon in the White Mage Nightmare. I did need to use a mythril to continue so I could get two extra ability uses, since R3 Diagas just weren't enough. I used a Selphie RW and Tyro/Arc were geared for magic so they could cast summons. I mostly ignored the hot potato game in favor of pure damage, because when I tried hot potato I'd always screw up somehow. What really irritates me though is that since Moonstone KO'd the launcher, I didn't get credit for removing a launcher's regen, meaning I didn't master the fight. Oh well, gently caress it.

Oh well, nothing good for me on the dollar pull. My XII synergy is fantastic what with the Golden Axe, Defender, Kogarasumaru, Judicer's Staff, 8* fully augmented Aldebaran, 7* Diamond Sword, 7* Platinum Dagger, 7* Sledgehammer and 7* Empyrean Rod. Oh, and three Survival Vests and a Chanter's Djellaba. Don't think I need to spend mythril on this banner.

I breezed through the U and U+ fights with my A team with no problems, even got Champion on Mateus despite stupidly forgetting to bring Banishing Strike to dispel his reflect. This U++ though, what the gently caress. I have R3 Saint's Cross and even with Shout up I've barely taken off half his health before I run out of uses. That's not mentioning that even under Power Breakdown and Protect he was able to deal over 5k to Ramza which was a one hit KO. And then his attacks having no delay after that, it's ridiculous. It seems like his worst attacks even ignore DEF/RES so it's not like bringing Wall is the solution either (I RW'd Minwu's instant heal). I may rearrange some of my equipment and retry but I'm at kind of a loss as to how to handle this.

Snazzy Frocks posted:wall saves a big chunk of damage. he only has one def ignoring attack. the rest are big attacks that will be mitigated I thought it was two (one physical, one magic) but I guess it was just Piercing Darkra. Regardless...   RW was SS2. Agrias got knocked out but she was under eternal Stop before then, so it wasn't a huge loss, especially since she'd run out of Saint's Cross at that point (though I wish I could've used Cleansing Strike). Basch had Ruin Impediment which I had forgotten provides physical Blink, so that was extremely helpful, and Selphie of course had Dreamstage for magic Blink, which came in handy as well. It was still a pretty unpleasant fight.

After looking at the special banners again, I think I'm going to do maybe two pulls. Banner 1 I'll skip, Lightbringer is very tempting but I already have 3 of the best items on there, and I have solid synergy for all the realms represented. Banner 2 probably gets a pull, Razzmatazz would be nice to get, as would Keeper's Tome and Crystal Glove, plus a shot at more IX synergy is good. Banner 3 is a skip, I already have Sheepsong and Fairy Flute which are probably the best items on there, and much like banner 1 I have great synergy for everything except IX, but Vivi's staff isn't worth it. Banner 4 definitely gets a pull, the shot for Excalibur is the big draw, but more than that, 4 has two chances for IX synergy including the Golden Hairpin, and XIV synergy would be nice too. I guess the question is can I get another 50 mythril before the 14th. 16 from login bonuses for sure, 2 from the exchange, and 20 from 2 events is 38. Do we get a Dungeon Update in the next couple of weeks?

I've had Wall for a long time but barely ever use it, mostly because I also have Shout and Ramza is a much more useful character than Tyro is. So Ramza takes the A-team spot and I just RW Wall, the only real exception is Nightmare dungeons since Tyro gets synergy in all of them, so might as well use his Wall and RW something else.
