So the only FFT character I have that does NOT have a relic is Agrias. I've been really good about saving mythril for when Orlandeau hits but I'd like some advice on what the best banner to pull on is for Agrias.

I'm really proud of myself for only pulling twice over this whole holiday pile of banners. Once on the banner that had Refia's glove and Kain's spear (I got both) and a could-not-resist pull on the crazy FF14 banner which got me Minfilia's BSB, another Thyrus, and Aetherial Pulse. I'm going to have 200+ myhtril by the time FFT hits and I'm going loving ham on it

This paralyze dragon is pissing me off so bad. I haven't been this pissed at a boss since the naga one that did nothing but dodge attacks and charm people. I have no accessories that resist paralysis and even when I bring 2 people with Esuna they either die to the bullshit double ice aoe spam when it gets low on HP or they just get paralyzed and can't Esuna each other. Is there anything I can do other than just grind through resets until I get good RNG? Also it is totally bullshit that it can attack and then immediately fly and then do 2 AoEs in a row before I get a chance to heal.

iamsosmrt posted:What team are you bringing? What kind of mitigation?  It literally doesn't matter what I bring. I have no paralysis resist accessories. I also can't just throw mythril continues at this since none of the continue bonuses resist statuses. I'm also getting total garbage RNG. Last fight I had both Serah and Y'shtola paralyzed after aoe ice. I'm seriously considering skipping this mc3. I've gotten every other one since they started but this one might not be worth the frustration. edit: Yda is my "Shout" with her SSB. Ramza is breakdowns and Tailwind for party heal. Y'shtola is for Aetherial Pulse and my RW is also Y'shtola for wall. Everything goes great until he gets under 50% hp and then he does the AoE ground ice, then instantly flies and does AoE ice twice. Anyone who doesn't die gets paralyzed and it's always Serah or Y'shtola. Also I can't seem do do enough damage fast enough. I was thinking of trying Shout RW and just all my best physical hitters but again I have nothing I can do about random paralysis. At all.

Evil Fluffy posted:Y'shtola's medica ns't going to cut it. Have her use wall and bring a healer BSB as the RW (such as a Y'shtola) and as long as the BSB's running and wall is up with shell/protect you shouldn't come close to dying unless Y'shtola gets locked down with people low on hp. Thanks for this. It took me a couple tries and 1 mythril continue but I got it with this strat. Native wall + RW Asylum used at the right times worked. I had to figure out the timings and practice when to maximize the utility. I also replaced Sephiroth with Gilgamesh because his BSB is better overall for that fight. I also got lucky on the mythril runback and got paralyzed less than usual. Oh and the nightmare accessory that gives major ice resistance was really nice on Serah. She was able to survive a lot of stupid poo poo and get off several Clock Masters and Esunas and Firagas. That fight was the death of fun though.

So I woke up this morning to this: That's pretty good, right? My RW is currently a level 99 Y'shtola with SS2, max MND gear, and almost completely moted out. She has 440 MND without synergy  I guess clearing out all those dumpy followers a couple weeks ago was worth it. Elephant Ambush fucked around with this message at 15:05 on Jan 6, 2017 |

Well after an evening of frustration against paralysis dragon, I am happy to say that I beat U++ Geruda on the first try. I just did the usual Shout wall physical rushdown and it worked just fine. I completely ignored the feathers. LOL. That was refreshing.

I'm trying to save mythril for TG Cid but I could not resist a shot at Vanille's BSB. I don't regret my pull: That Punisher is also my 3rd so I was able to make my first reforge. I'm pretty hype about it. Whose RM is the one that boosts spear damage significantly? I need that RM. And just gently caress Snow. That BSB is really good but I loathe the character. I'm going to level it up but only so that someone else can use it as synergy armor.

Zurai posted:Orlandu has the best OSB in the game. It's stronger than other physical OSBs baseline (1500 vs 1200 potency) at the cost of a slightly longer cast time (3.7 seconds vs 2.5), it's dual elemental with both easily boostable and relatively common as weaknesses (holy and thunder), and most importantly it has an incredibly good secondary effect (Thunder God Mode, which grants 1/3 cast time for all the user's actions for 25 seconds). Not quite. There are new Agrias relics in there as well, and pretty much her whole kit is there. I personally have no relics for her but I still use her all the time because she's just that good. I will be blowing all my mythril on this banner mostly for Agrias gear but any Orlandeau gear with be icing on the holy cake. Also, correct me if I'm wrong but Orlandeau is also supposed to have pretty rad stats at level 99.

ApplesandOranges posted:Bring a Zidane OSB RW to more or less obliterate the first two bosses (if you can have at least four females on your party, good but not necessarily required). You can then set your party up to handle Shell Dragon - both Breakdowns, Earth/Paralyze resist if possible, and a good set of Ice attacks. This worked great except for the last guy. Zidane OSB OHKO'd the first two but the counter AoE paralysis is loving bullshit. I even did a reverse wall on him with Faris BSB plus Fang's Highwind and it doesn't matter at all if he just paralyzes everyone and I have no paralysis resist accessories.

While I beat Beatrix/Steiner first try, I forgot to bring dark for mastery. Since then, for some reason, they've proven a lot tougher in subsequent fights. I finally mastered them today though. Since the FF13 event went away, nobody has Cid R (Cider?) BSB up as RW. I refreshed for literally 5 straight minutes without finding one so I came up with a backup strat which consists of "use Vanille BSB as RW instead" and it worked perfectly. Every time I saw the word "Climhazzard" I just mashed the RW button and all my fears melted away. I didn't have to worry about Sap randomly killing my nerds before I could heal. Then I just brought a dark ability on Sephiroth and he used it once on each of them for the medals. Highly recommended pro tier stuff.

The new Ultima Weapon raids are free to reverse wall. I was able to beat both on the first try with random pubbies. All I did was bring Faris BSB and Fang's Highwind and then gave them meter building abilities to just do it over and over. Even on the 200 diff fight, Ultimate Ultima did like 1100 damage. We had a Beatrix for damage and a Vanille BSB to heal while everyone else durdled around and we only lost one character. Only frustrating thing were the Tryos that kept using Full Break right after I had just finished firing off Beryl Serpent

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Ugh I'm so used to just rolling raids with pubbies and for some reason this one is giving me a headache. Why is it so hard to find a decent team all of a sudden, everyone is running Tyros and Y'Shtolas without walls and terrible DPS characters. And when I do find a party with a Wall the raid leader for some reason decides we need 3 of them and only 1 healer, which goes well until he enters danger phase and starts making GBS threads huge AoE every singe turn. There are benefits to leading raids. I personally need greens so it's always nice for me to get some randomly. The biggest benefit to the stamina expense is the power to pick your team by kicking losers out. And yeah the goon discord is amazing and awesome. The only raid I've needed help with was Barthandelus and goons got me through that one. As others have said, being able to coordinate specific setups with people who know what they're doing is a godsend.

I pulled twice. First pull got me Terra's OSB and BSB. 2nd pull got me her SSB. I previously had no relics for her. This game really wants me to use her now. I cracked her 80 cap because I had MC3s laying around. I'm really happy about this because I have very little good mage gear and this helps a ton. I also just like Terra. She's really good even without relics but she's a Death Star now. There's also the fanboyism factor. FF6 is my favorite of the main numbered series and I always liked Terra as a character. QUESTION: Can someone please explain the CPU Nightmare boss fight? I checked reddit and even the detailed explanation is hard to figure out. I know which breakdowns to use on which orbs but apparently there's a timing issue I'm missing. I also can't seem to consistently get it to put up the barriers after killing both orbs. After the orbs regenerate I use the breakdowns the way it's described, but then Multi-Break doesn't seem to cause the orbs to go haywire the way they should. Could someone do a simple step-by-step guide please?
