Oh look, Keeper's Choice 2 banner.

Oh poo poo, 50 mythril over 10 days? Wonder what to blow this load on.

I'm assuming the next OSB is a ways out? Or are there useful things in the current banners.

Also should I just grind orbs for the time being due to being worryingly behind on abilities.

The next OSB is next week (Squall), but isn't especially good. The OSB Fest should be in a few weeks (with the next Orbfest) and has some really nice toys if you want to pull there. The next super hype banners (after this Onion banner) are the XIV banner next month and the FFT Thunder God Cid banner the month after that.

The Onion Knight gloves on the current FF3 banner are meta-defining good if you're willing to get OK to level 99, a lot of people were saving mithril for it, especially people who have poo poo other options for boosts/magic boosts.

Oh right, this banner is OK banner. Pulled on it, got Luneth's BSB instead. And Ingus' Protectga shield. And an off banner Dark Helm IV.

I guess Luneth is gonna be my go to for synergy and Wind shenanigans?

Busted on getting a BSB from Onion 2. At least I got Onion Knight's Staff. :toot:

Bonus battles were fine. The gauntlet wasn't bad, especially if you are honed properly.

This is the first Mote dungeon I'm having really trouble with a native team. It might just be a level issue, so I'll check back in on it shortly.

Also, all Onion motes acquired with no dedicated farming. :toot:

Yes. But so would a +30% weapon damage RM, and those would also work on every single ability he used and also boost the non-elemental damage his OSB yields in the case of Bio-resistant enemies.

Don't go for +elemental or +weakness RMs, they're traps.

I'm reminded of Butz's MC4. Doing much more Wind Damage, psht.

Also Lightning's MC4.

I somehow got Penelo's BSB, despite having Aerith's better BSB. Still makes someone incredibly viable though.

Also got Laguna's SSB, which will need Ice stuff.

But yeah, for a sorta high-end team before RS, would a team of Tyro/Ramza/Faris/Aerith/Beatrix be suitable? I mean, having two supports might be an issue but it might work.

CaptainPsyko posted:

Assuming Wall/Shout/BSB's for the others... I'd dump Tyro for a second holy damage dealer (another knight, Raines...), or really, any sort of strong damage dealer, and RW Wall.

Best loadout for Faris in a setup like that is probably giving her Thief's Revenge/Mug Bloodlust/Dash and Slash/Sapphire Shot as appropriate/based on hones, have Ramza run two of Power/Magic/Armor Breakdown as appropriate, and ignore Faris burst commmands unless you run into longevity issues. Give Faris and Ramza Mako, Beatrix Gaia Cross/Lionheart and then run Burst commands/Saints Cross... seems good.

(Alternately, having a full breakdown BSB is a real good reason to move on from Shout to Cid Shout if you've got it, or something like Onion BSB if you have the synergy to support getting close to softcap with the latter)

I don't have Cid's shout. But yeah, I could just phase Tyro out in place of Penelo since her BSB and all.

And on top of that, of course, missing the events where I could have gotten those abilities for free, so I guess I'll just run dailies as I trudge through Core.

But still thanks for the heads-up/advice.

You can buy Growth Eggs from the Gyshal Exchange, but I think most people would agree that's not a great use of Greens. ( 500 for a 3* Egg and 1500 for a 4*). Other than that I think the only other way is to trade Hero Souls and Blank MCs for them, and I'm guessing you need those.

It does! Irvine can also use shooter 5*, which grants a solid two hits of 3.7x water damage in the back row with a ranged weapon. Or 3.3x with no ranged weapon. He's still squishy and not a good combatant, but I have his pentabreak and I can use him everywhere now.

:same: Basically, he's a pseudo-glass cannon. Or glass pseudo-cannon. Still, nullifying practically half a boss's defense/resistance is pretty good.

Attestant posted:

Red Scorpion means you have Shellga from Mighty Guard, so bring Protectga on Selphie. You'll need both. You probably also want to bring more breaks/breakdowns.

Relic & soulbreak-wise you're super set, but your levels are pretty low. So it'll be absolutely critical, that you try to kill both Biggs and Wedge at the same time. Otherwise you'll be facing defense piercing AoE spam from whichever is left.

So all I need are eggs and for Laguna to carry Power/Magic Break. Unless the extra 5% matters in bringing Breakdowns.

flowinprose posted:

Imperil dark would be pointless to use against him since he's already fully weak to darkness (so it wouldn't add any additional damage). What are you using as a roaming warrior? Do you have a native hastega? If so (or maybe even if you don't) consider using a Cid Raines BSB RW if you have a decent synergy mage weapon as it will melt his face off and cover the dark medal.

I'm just using a Wall as my RW. Got both a Medica and a native Hastega, so I figured why not. But hm, I guess I'll try the Cid Raines RW idea.

Schwartzcough posted:

You may consider investing in Memento Mori and/or Dark Zone. It's a really strong combo for darkness users, and is great for Cid Missions since it puts out great damage even without a SB.

Yeah, but that also comes with investing in Edea, who only has her Faithga.

You want to get rid of Fujin as soon as possible. Has the lowest HP and if you let her go for too long she starts setting people's HP to 1.

Plus you might get Zanketsuken Reverse'd when bursting down Seifer. And that hurts through Protectga. ESPECIALLY if he goes Bloodfeast -> Zanketsuken Reverse.
