What's the next good FFX banner? I did some accounting and besides I/II/III, X is the only realm where I don't have an SSB or BSB. I'm ok on synergy because I have Tidus's Slice & Dice and Spiral Cut swords, but those SB's are underwhelming now so looking to spend on the next good FFX banner.

Lucky Draw results: Peacemaker (XIII) (dupe, combined), Tyrfing (III) (dupe, not combined because III synergy), Break Blade (III) and Power Circle (XIII). Two SSB's , one of which from a realm where I had none, that's a pretty good haul. Happy with that.

IllegallySober posted: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. 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. Similar on the Vega/Cards - multiple SSB's/BSB's for people that use thrown weapons. If you have a few then keeping separate so you'll have back row synergy for them might be worthwhile.

IllegallySober posted: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? 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. Edit: Kaiser Shield (5*) with/without synergy 34/17 ATK, 195/126 DEF, 130/83 RES Kaiser Shield (8*) with/without synergy 50/22 ATK, 257/146 DEF, 172/97 RES bilperkins2 fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Oct 12, 2016 |

IllegallySober posted:Nice. Thank you for the info. I think I will go ahead and combine them then You may or may not want to wait until after finishing the FFT dungeons that just dropped, depending on your other FFT synergy. 3 5*'s spread across your DPS guys might go a longer way than one 8*, but that distinction is only valid in FFT dungeons, which are pretty rare.

Do we ever get any more of those 5* motes we got from the Five Dooms? Or that's it? If there's more available later I'm more likely to spend them now.

I have Lightning's elec amp and SSB and asked the same thing and was told that it's not worth the SB bar to do the amp. Just equip the Kaiser Shield on her and SSB when you got 'em.

I don't even know which of my team members to bring since like all of my A-team people either have a fire or holy component to them: P.Cecil SSB (Holy) Bartz BSB (Fire Command) Terra BSB (Fire Command) Locke BSB (Fire+Holy, imperil Fire, Fire Command) Beatrix BSB (Imperil Holy, Holy Command) Fang SSB (Fire/Wind) Bringing SG and a healer means I have to pick 3 out of those 6. Leaning towards Beatrix, Fang and Bartz.

Do dual-element SB's count towards both Mastery Conditions? Example: This Event's Ultimate, Taharka, has two mastery conditions for use Fire and use Wind. If I were to use Fang's SSB which is Fire and Wind damage, would that count as fulfilling both conditions or would I need an alternate source of one of them to cover it? And if so, which one?

Panic! at Nabisco posted:Congrats on being fully self sufficient for a physical team Would that work well with a Tyro healer? I've avoided bringing Ramza and Tyro together (have SG and Shout) since that would leave only two slots for DPS, or would lose my medica. If Tyro was a healer and RW'd my medica, that might be very interesting...

Now you can pull entirely for damage relics or characters you like, and bring along stuff like medica BSBs as your RW.

Firion's BSB would really work well with my team (Beatrix BSB, Cecil SSB, etc) but I'm not interested in anything else on the banner, especially not the BSB Axe. Chasing a single relic is madness, right?

It's instant, so in instances where there's a lot of damage coming at random intervals and you can't afford the casting time, yeah it has uses, but to me the added utility of magic blink (or in my case, heavy regen with Relm's) beats it out.

Panic! at Nabisco posted:It's at the top of the banner and has a little inset that says "overflow" in katakana, and has a picture of Hope, so I figured that was pretty self explanatory if you can read it! Hell, even if not, since it's all color coded. Sorry I don't mean to be an rear end but for the most part, I don't think people here know the relics from Japan and while an OSB is pretty much going to be the same (do a lot of damage), the BSB's and SSB's vary wildly in effects, so an untranslated banner with no info about any of the relics is going to mean jack to most here.

100 mithryl got me 2x Tidus armor thing, 2x Rikku Knuckles, 1x Yuna Chaos Rod, 1x Auron Riot Blade, 1x off-banner XII armor. Does the ATK+RES from Rikku's have that weird coding where they're separate and therefore don't stack with Shout? I know her Hyper Null Arm one did that, does this as well or is it safe to run with Shout?

Attestant posted:Man. Daedalus is looking like it could be the first fight I can't beat since like... Bahamut Sin. I just can't muster enough damage with just a r4 Banishing Strike and a r3 Saint Cross. My only Holy SB of note is the badly aged first P.Cecil SSB. And since he's so low on early AoE, I'm having immense trouble keeping up either Shout or Wall, because I'm not building SB fast enough. I had this same exact problem except I have 3 Holy SSB's (PCecil SSB like you, Beatrix BSB and Locke BSB) and I was barely able to beat it. That one was super frustrating.

Full price is a bit disappointing. *pulls* ugh no Onion BSB bullshit. I didn't even get any 4-stars (just kidding) holy poo poo  no dupes on anything I already owned and I whaled for Firion's and didn't get it. Did I win?This all synergizes super well with what I already had - I have Locke's EnFire BSB which will go well with Baltier, I have Beatrix's EnHoly to go with Firion, I go heavy into Knight so I have Saints Cross at R3 for Gilgamesh.

So I spent the entire day's stamina yesterday on the 90-stam Exp dungeon and didn't get a single Onion Mote. Do you need to have OK with you for them to drop? Am I doing something wrong? I don't want to continue wasting stamina doing it wrong.Ibram Gaunt posted:Got Thief's Knife (VI), Stardust Rod (VI) and Wizer Rod (VII) from the Black Friday gacha. I have all three of those. I use Thief's Knife regularly, especially on Holy-weak bosses because I have other Holy SB's. The Fire Imperil interferes with my Beatrix BSB which causes Holy Imperil, which is kind of annoying but whatever. If you bring Mug Bloodlust and then do his Mug Command, he'll do crazy damage even with no synergy, and it gimps any physical-focused boss. Stardust Rod is my go-to Mage BSB but I don't do Mage teams often, so I don't feel I can talk about it much to do it justice. It FEELS to me like it's showing its age but again, I don't really know. Aerith's is weird - is it just me or is the damage on it pure dogshit? On U++'s it does like 500 damage per hit, feels like a pure waste. Healing is still the priority of it though so you get a good burst of HP and then command 2 is a mini-medica which you can spam to keep everyone topped off during a final phase of an Ultimate. That damage though... I got Eiko's BSB from the Black Friday and I'm probably going to change to her going forward - seems like her heal and command 2 are comparable, and the command 1 doesn't have the useless +MND like Aerith's does, and is replaced by a Phys Blink on the character healed, which can be super useful. bilperkins2 fucked around with this message at 16:05 on Nov 26, 2016 |

Am I meant to be somewhere special for this one too? If you have the RM2 unlocked then yeah, it's just random and can take forever. I had a team of 5 with random drop RM's needed and used them to do the sub-90 difficulty Events for over a month before any of them dropped.

Dr Pepper posted:It's White Magic so it uses Aerith's MND. Not a lot of MND buffs. Even so, though, I have good synergy overall and she typically has 450-500 MND from equipment and it still does garbage damage. My Mage SB's with comparable MAG stat do way more damage. I don't know if multipliers between MAG-based and MND-based are comparable. (checks Enlir's sheet) It's 9,50 versus something like Maelstrom Bolt from Ashe (which I also have) at 14,00, so I guess that answers my question if the multipliers are comparable. I believe they're not between ATK and MAG though, so not 100% sure.

Is there any benefit to doing the MP battles actually MP, besides reduced stamina cost? Sometimes I just can't be bothered to deal with online people and just solo it - I'm not having any problems difficulty-wise, so just checking that I'm not missing anything otherwise.
