Having Cloud's OSB really, really trivializes quite a few of the early Elites. Literally push button, collect rewards.

I beat the Ultimate first try with a mixed-physical and mage party. Cloud w/Finishing Touch Rinoa w/Sorceress's Awakening Yuffie w/Clear Tranquil and Gauntlet (used both) Garnet w/Dagger of Resolve (died before she could use it) Tyro w/Sentinel's Grimoire Lost Garnet in Wave 3 but still got all medals except one for damage. I fully admit my specific relics helped a LOT though and not everyone can field that kind of setup.

So is this another one of those where they give us one to start and make us wait for more from upcoming events? What's the best choice in a vacuum? Cloud or Tyro seem like the smart choice for me since they both run in my A-Team but I don't know what the best new RMs are.

KnoxZone posted:For MC3s they will hand out 1 blank one in most events and occasionally special events give some (Upcoming Gold Fes will have 1 in the casino for example). This means you can expect 3-4 per month, but each month or so another wave of characters gets triple broken, so it will be a looooooooong time before everyone is maxed out. Cool. Might even just break and egg Luneth to 99 and then spend the rest of the evening running a four-person party through SunDaily

Okay, what's the secret to the Zombie Dragon Ultimate fight? I feel like with the synergy I have this should not be a difficult fight but I'm just repeatedly getting my rear end kicked by AoE spam.

Kemix posted:Spam Fire (except on the second one) and Holy. Save your SBs for the third one (since it counters ALL THE loving THINGS). Then burn down number four as fast as possible (I'd use your second RW wall here or on number 3) and make sure you have Full Break+Magic Breakdown on it at all times, if you have native Hestaga RW Wall and hope for the best. Your healer will have a hell of a time keeping up with just Curaja, so if you can bring someone with a percentage heal SB like Yuffie or Ramza. Other than that, all I can say is hope for the best, and keep your party as healed as you can without just burning uses for the sake of burning uses Took about twenty tries and two people died with two more clinging to life but I mastered it. gently caress that fight. If Diamond Weapon is significantly harder than that was, it's not happening for me.

My Lucky Draw was Physician's Staff (dupe) and... Iga Blade! Needed a BSB for a Support character and now that's taken care of. First-world problem questions: if I'm at the point where I don't really NEED to pull for anything in particular relic-wise, that probably also means I'm at the point where I could start combining duplicate 5* relics, right? I have dupes of: Vega 42s Cards Wutai Headband Physician's Staff Minotaur Plate Kaiser Shield (three of these- really tempting to make an 8*) There's nothing in here I'm really gonna kick myself for combining later, right? It's mostly all older stuff anyway.

bilperkins2 posted:Kaiser Shield adds to lightning damage, so it might be worth keeping two separate ones, but that depends on if you have any predilection for lighting meta, such as having Lightning's SSB or other lightning-based SSB/BSB's. If you don't and don't anticipate whaling on future lightning-based stuff, then an 8* IS really tempting and I personally would go for it because the usage now versus potential usage later equation usually weighs on the "now" side for me. As of now, I don't think I have any Lightning-based BSB's except for Rinoa's and I don't think she can use the shield anyway.

CaptainPsyko posted:There's also the new 5* Dragoon skill in a few weeks that is Lightning damage and is absolutely insane. I'm not likely to carry multiple Dragoons on a team though- so I'd be better to have an 8* armor than multiple 5* ones, right?

bilperkins2 posted:Yeah it's all about "am I going to run Lightning-based abilities on multiple characters?" and if your answer is "probably not" or lower then you should combine because an 8* Kaiser Shield on a character toting a lightning skill is a monster. Nice. Thank you for the info. I think I will go ahead and combine them then

I was afraid you were going to say that. I have two duplicates already on the banner and apart from the two BSB's that's all I'd really want. I guess I'll wait for a better time. There's always a new shiny to chase.

Schwartzcough posted:Congrats! Thanks- that's what I get for not reading closely enough before bed Still, a Support BSB like that means I have some tinkering to do tomorrow with team composition. I'm normally toting Tyro for Wall/Multi Break but Wakka would either free up a slot for anything since Tyro can do it all, or I could skip Wall and bring a better healer (or bring Y'shtola and have the best of both worlds since I have Thyrus too?)

Zurai posted:Here's the one for my JP account. The only thing I do that's nonstandard is I colorize the realm number based on how strong my healing relics are for the realm. Very light green means I just have heavy regen, very heavy green means I have a healer BSB, other shades are in between. Oh also the base 4 star items are off to the side, I don't need them much any more for most realms (as you can see). IcePhoenix posted:I haven't updated this in a while but Exactly what I needed.

Benthalus posted:Uh, no. The rate of any 5* is 1% or 0.01. The change of a single pull not giving a 5* is 99% or 0.99. The probability of 29 consecutive independent events of 0.99 likelihood is 0.99^29 = .7471, or about 75% to pull no 5*. So really you'd be lucky to get a 5* in those 29 pulls since it is only a 1/4 chance. I think you're thinking of the rate to get a SPECIFIC 5* relic, which I seem to remember being 1%. The rate of ANY 5* relic was closer to 12% or 13%, I thought.

Are either of the FFIV BSBs on the current draw worth chasing for someone who doesn't have any real needs right now (me)? I'm gathering that Rydia's doesn't necessarily meet that but Kain's might? If so, I could toss a draw at it. Sitting on 370 Mythril right now.

SageAcrin posted:Kain's is pretty good, because it's like the only Enlightning Dragoon SB and Lightning Dive is pretty sweet. Thanks to all of you for your input. The above quote made me go back and look at specifically my IV synergy, and it's not great (1 SSB, 2 SBs), so I think I'll spend a single pull. Still leaves me 300+ Mythril in the bank. Oh well.

Better long-term R3 hone: Saint Cross (for Celes w/Indomitable Blade) Thief's Revenge (for Yuffie w/Clear Tranquil and Gauntlet) I'm leaning Saint Cross but want opinions. I can R3 one of the two right now but not both.

Threw 50 Mythril at the FF3 banner chasing Onion Gauntlets. Got the Heroic Shield and the Elder Staff instead. 100 Mythril spent is enough for one (late) night. I'll re-evaluate in the morning. Good luck to all of you! May you avoid Tiny Bees!

Spent another 50 on OK's banner, got dupe Heroic Shield and dupe Onion Sword. When is the next re-appearance of Onion Gauntlets? Is it OSB-Fest? I'm having a hard time justifying chasing any more right now considering I have four weapons and a couple of shields for FF3.

Put a mage meta team together, my first, for the White Dragon fight as I'm still finishing up the IV event, and it worked well. I was pleased by this, so threw the last 50 Mythril I was willing to use to chase the Onion Gauntlets in... Missed those, but pulled Luneth's BSB instead, so I'm happy. I'd be chasing only the Gauntlets if I spent more Mythril so I'll wait for them to reappear and keep the 183 Mythril I have left for something else.
