Refia's Rising Sun and a (third) Blazefire Saber. So that's physical synergy for FF3, which was something I needed, a damage-dealing SSB for a Monk, which I didn't have, and a 7* sword I can reforge further for 13. Not the world's most exciting pull, but definitely worth 25.

It seems weird that we're up to two 6* White Mage skills and there's still no multi-target Cure, even one that spits out really crappy healing.

Haha, scrapped up enough for another 11-pull on Larsa 1 and got Vaan's BSB, Ashe's SSB, and Fran's SSB. I now have everything on this banner except Ashe's BSB and Balthier's SSB. I am never getting a Balthier relic, but it's pretty hard to be angry with that pull anyway.

Thaddius the Large posted:Another newbie question, I picked up a Soul of the Hero during this event, should I use that or stockpile? If I do use it, should it be for any particular character, like one of those for whom I've already received a 5* item with a Soul Break attached? I got Tifa's Power Soul with BSB Meteor Crush and Lenna's USB with Princess's Favor in my first 11 pull, so I'd assume one of those two is a priority? Yes, new players will want to use their Hero Souls and whatever the selectable memory crystal unlocks are on the characters for whom they pull good relics. Get Lenna right now if you don't have another medica (the term the community uses for AE/multitarget heal soul breaks), and Tifa if you do. You'll want to grab both characters ASAP. Also, the current Keeper's Choice banner 2 (with Ramza's Platinum Sword and Tyro's Sentinel Grimoire) is something you should be rolling on if you don't have Shout or a wall (SG or Yshtola's Stoneskin) already. A white mage with a medica, either of those two effects (wall or haste+boost, with the other provided by your RW), and a few damage-dealers with good SSBs or BSBs is basically the setup you're trying to get rolling for endgame content.

So here's my situation: I'm spoiled for choice. On a lark pull of the Keeper 2 banner, I finally got the Platinum Sword I spent 300 mithril chasing back in the day. Now I've got wall (SG), Shout (Ramza), and a magic blink medica (Selphie). For offensive BSBs, I've got - Physical: Cloud, Bartz, Fang, Sephiroth Support: Faris, Vaan Magic: Terra For other stuff that matters... Lightning, Agrias, Laguna, and Fran SSBs, medicas on Penelo, Yuna, Lenna, Ramza, and Yuffie, Apocalypse Shield on Basch, off the top of my head. Basically, I think I'm finally at the point where I no longer have a "best party" and instead have the luxury to mix and match a team depending on the specific encounter and what skills are called for. A few teambuilding advice questions... 1) Should I be running native Shout and SG most of the time? If I'm not using Tyro for healing (Selphie) or support (Ramza), what should I be using him for? Should I be RWing content-relevant SSB/BSB/OSBs, should I drop Tyro and be RWing wall, or should I drop Ramza, run Faris, and RW Shout? 2) Do I have the team-comp where it's actually worth honing Tornado Strike? Wind seems to be the best synergy I've got going, with Fang's imperil BSB and Bartz having a wind renzo, so is that the way to go? Should I grab the Oath Veil for this from the Keeper 2 list, or will the defense on that suck too bad to make it useful? Is there any wind synergy gear - either boosting equipment or good SBs - I should be keeping an eye out for in the future? 3) Basically, is there anything else that pops out to you guys that I should be trying to exploit or take advantage of? I guess I'm looking for guidance on what to hone, and general strategies, noting that I already have the "basics" especially among sub-5* poo poo (3/4* spellblades, Full Break, Saint Cross, Lifesiphons, etc)

Stellar Circle followed by 3-4 Tornado Strikes, man... You and me should be best friends when the real poo poo hits. I've been running a Fang BSB and Bartz (bow) BSB windmurder duet to compensate for all the redundant healing and boosts.

Lucky Draw: Lightning, Locke, and a duplicate Cloud sword. Nothing lifechanging for me since I already have like four physical attacker BSBs, but I like Lightning and Locke and I now have a mean beatstick for a realm with a lot of content (which I'm fine combining bc I also have Hardedge and Organics; the game loves giving me Cloud weapons). Also, I gotta say, FFRK has been very good about giving freebies, bonus draws, etc. Moreso than any other gacha game I've ever played in the US.

Yeah, Dragoon skills are fine, though with that team comp you may as well just spam Lifesiphon on her to keep Imperil Wind up 100% of the time and keep cranking out wind renzos, which she's as good at as anyone else.

I mean, there's not a lot of science to how you use someone with Combat 4+ and a BSB that imperils its own element: charge your SB by Lifesiphon or by crook and spam spam spam

Twelve by Pies posted:I'll probably have enough mythril for another 11 pull on Onion Knight, but I'm debating whether to pull on 1 or 2. I already got the Onion Sword from banner 1, and I don't feel like I'm lucky enough to get the Gauntlets. Plus, it'd be neat to have the Eternal Staff too so OK could fill a magic role too, and apparently Refia's BSB is really good. On the other hand, everyone is saying that there's a lot of bad relics on 2? I'd hate to get stuck with something lousy. How big of a boon would OK BSB be (i.e. do you already have both a physical and magic boostga of some kind) and what's your III synergy like? If the answer is "nice but not vital" and "I'm okay with it", at least, I'd just save the mithril for future banners, especially OSBfest.

This fight is terrible and would totally pass as a U++ these days. It's making me realize just how bad my FF4 synergy is, with the caveat that I totally cleared the FF4 event that just ended. I don't have a single native 5* melee weapon for FF4, only Rosa's Medica bow and Tellah's first staff. I should go ham on the next 4 banner if I don't pull a Cecil sword or something during the OSBfest.

I was considering rolling on the Lucky Draw bc my FF4 synergy, especially physical, is so lean... but drat, that really is kind of a poo poo banner. I already have Lightning's BSB and a 6* Fusion Sword, too. And an Odin whip. Second time I've ever passed on a Lucky Draw. I'd really love a Cecil sword, if RNJesus is taking notes for the festival.

Do you ever start accumulating MC3s faster/more easily? I missed the first few because I was too scared/lazy to finish the Ultimates and whereas I have 100% of every MC1 and MC2 they're releasing 3s faster than I'm getting them by far.

I mean I'm down for Chrono Trigger just bc it'd be a pretty easy realm to create at least seven useful characters for, some of whom could be pretty interesting or unique. It beats the poo poo out of watching them try to come up with a niche for FF6 Cid or good SBs for Dr. Tot. Bikke and Matoya would've both been cool for FF1, and filled niches (Thief/Support 5 and Black magic) for that game that are empty if you pretend Wol and Echo don't exist, as I have.

Honestly dual-techs would be cool but I sincerely doubt they'd make them worth the trouble/opportunity cost of losing realm synergy to (for ex) always run Frog and Crono because you got a specific relic. And if they were, the entire meta would start revolving around Chrono Trigger. I'm fine with them just being among the unique SB animations for characters. Like Volt Bite for Ayla or the elemental sword techs for Crono would be really logical BSBs.

Twelve by Pies posted:So uh, I know that generally all bursts are good but how good are these two? Fang's is great if you have any other wind synergy, multihit SBs or skills that deal wind damage or gear that boosts wind damage, since it's a wind imperil with two wind damage commands (4x st and 2x mt). Since it deals AE damage and has an AE command, it'll eat multi-target bosses alive combined with Tornado Strike on a spellsword. Locke's is peculiar, but it seems really nice to be able to synergize with either fire or holy teams, since both are solid types to build a party around/have a lot of viable relics. EDIT: Ahahaha I was loving right, 2x 5* and neither of them was IX or XIV, realms I literally have no physical synergy 5* for. Still, a Shadow SSB and a Serah BSB for 25 mithril's hard to get upset about. Baku fucked around with this message at 03:00 on Dec 6, 2016 |

1st AD posted:People are really bad at multiplayer and I'm really glad I have a decked out level 99 Onion Knight, because Ramza and OK are basically dealing out steady DPS, healing, Full Break, AND running Protect since none of the 2 healers brought any mitigation. I have no idea how and why this happens but if I don't bring Shellga or Protega nobody else ever does, even if all of them bring a white mage. Like, I almost never run a white mage with anything BUT Curaja and one of the two. Why the hell wouldn't you? They massively reduce the damage your whole party takes, last longest from someone with high MND, and have the least opportunity cost on your healer because one heal will last through an entire fight and anything else they can do another character is better at. The only other thing I've ever brought on a healer was Carbuncle, which if you think about it is really just a third different version for very specific encounters.

ApplesandOranges posted:Atomos is honestly the easiest Nightmare by far. The only celling is a DPS check - you just have to burn down about 280k+ health in the time for a 50 SPD boss (who can be Slowed) to take nine turns. The bosses in the run up to him are surprisingly no joke if you lack synergies, though. Nightmare run-up bosses have gotten significantly tougher since the first set. And yeah don't be shy about stacking more lightning damage than that for Guardian. Having three people with skills means you can drop his barrier in one round instead of two, and it's a great source of damage anyway. If you're running a mage, definitely bring the "spells have a chance to fire twice" RMs; procs count as two hits unlike stuff like multi-hit SBs.
