Anyone who's done the Summon Nightmare ought to have at least one 4* Lightning summon lying around. Bio Grenade is kinda poo poo for that fight since half the guys are immune to it. Rather just use Sky Grinder/Flashing Blade/Tornado Strike.

I pulled Vega 42s. I remember a year ago when that would have been cause for celebration. As is it's still a Hastega for XIII, and physical synergy. I also got Delita's dagger, and Ovelia's robe, so if you count this draw by how many Hastegas I pulled it's pretty strong.

Cleared the U++ CM while using Angel Snack as my only native SB (also had Steiner's Excalibur for synergy Holy boost, and two Mag staffs): Vivi w/ R4 Firaja and R1 Meltdown Garnet w/ R4 Maduin and R4 Alexander Steinter w/ R3 Saint's Cross and Magic Lure (and the sole Poison Res accessory) Quina w/ R4 Magic Breakdown, R2 Full Break, and the aforementioned Angel Snack for Boostga Eiko w/ Curaja and Shellga Sheep song RW The trick was slowing my roll and just auto-attacking Thorn for a bit once I got Zorn down until I could get Quina's SB back. As long and shell and breakdowns were up he wasn't much of a threat. Once ready just refresh Boostga, Sheepsong, and Shellga and que up everyone's ATB. Once I killed Thorn it was just a matter of laying waste to Meltigemini with Multi-hit weakness attacks. He did get off one non-scripted attack, but I was lucky enough for it to be single-target Bio, which Steiner ate like a champ. Boss hits like a truck but he's got the HP of a difficulty 99 boss.

SuperHappy posted:Man, kudos to y'all who are getting the CM. I have the drat Ogre and still had trouble getting through this with my A team. The opening aoe salvo is balance by the fact that for the following two turns they will do nothing but a weak physical attack on whoever has the most HP.

So if I'm in the market for a little bit of II synergy (and have 500+ spare mythril anyway) which is the better banner to be pulling on? I've already got a really old axe for Firion and Leon's Hand of the Emperor as my only II gear.

 Suck it Mote Ogres Don't regret my pull on banner 2, even if all it got me was two more Flame Shields and Leon's Defender, possibly the least useful items on the banner for this fight, it still made the difference. Battle basically went Gordon opens with Kashuan's resolve to get damage up, then throws breakdowns at Red Soul hoping to build as much SB as possible. Firion fished for luck on Sleep Buster, which he got, before lifesiphoning Red Soul, and Leon sucked up all the attacks and built gauge on the soul. Maria threw out meteors while her magic was still high enough. Once the ogres woke up it was go time: Gordon tossed out Goddes Bell and all the breakdowns he could manage, Leon, having dropped HotE before go time, just shat out AoE SSBs forever. Maria mostly just woke people from sleep once Kashuan's Resolve wore off. But the real star of the show was Will of the White Mage. Oh, Leon just took two blizzard's to the face and has an invisible life bar remaining? How about instead loving everybody is healed to full right loving now. Minwu is your new god. All hail.

Cape Cod Crab Chip posted:I did non-CM Ifrit physically and it ran me out of hones and there were a few times where incoming damage threatened to drop someone, and that was with Cleansing Strike Agrias and Dreamstage Selphie. Granted, I went with my usual team (Shout Ramza, Paladin Force Cecil, Faithful Companion Gilgamesh, the aforementioned two) which wasn't optimized for the fight as I refused to craft a second copy of Blizzara Strike so my only ice damage was Blizzara Strike from Agrias and Ice Jump from Gilgamesh but it was genuinely close. I don't have access to options that'd let me do him CM-style yet. He's tough!  Just RW Rinoa's BSB off Edea w/ Memento Mori and have Seifer draw all the single-target attacks while defending.

I beat the U++ by farting Blinks all over the place. Coincidentally how I beat the U+ CM, too, just took a lot of S/L to find the right build and get the timing on Ruin Impendant just right. Turns out Arihman aint poo poo with Basch and Gabranth drawing all their attacks.

Grizzled Patriarch posted:Shell / Protect is all I've got, yeah. You need Magic Breakdown for a fight life this. Also Full Break, even rank 1, will probably be a huge help for Mateus if you're bringing a Lightning RW to kill the adds in two rounds. Blizzajas should be much more manageable with proper mitigation applied. Really you should be bringing some sort of defensive breakdown to every Ultimate or higher fight.

I already have SSB for both Kain and Rydia, and plenty of stat sticks besides, so I'm not sure how great pulling on this banner would be. I understand Kain's BSB is crazy balls, but Rising Drive -> Dragoon Jump is still pretty hefty dps. Really the IV relic I want most is Artemis Bow. On another topic, Necrophobe was too much so I just spent half an hour hit-and-running so I could pop Goddess Bell right at Phase 2, and then back-to-back Gordon and Setzer SBs whenever the dooms got too low (Faris did much the same with Kindred Spirit). Having all the dooms up wasn't so bad thanks to stacking Atk/Mag debuffs and Ramza's endless Tailwind thanks to Magic Lure. He didn't get to phase three, but I'm pretty sure he was close, though Ramza was ready to throw and endless barrage of stones if the others needed the stun time to finish him off.

So I've done all the III fights, and have been grinding the Enigma dungeon non-stop since the event went up. I'm still 1 Onion Mote short of fully upgrading the little guy, and my entire FF3 cast is 1 level away from the cap. Is there a better way to get this last mote, or do I just fling non-synergy people at it until the event ends or I get the loving drop?

All I got for my luck draw was Enochian Blizzard. I guess EnIce is better than nothing, especially since I've also got the only Imperil Ice in the game. Shame I've got no Ice BSBs.

Cid does gently caress all in the game he's actually in. FF13's plot is the special kind of mess that you can only get from spending 4 years just making pretty cutscenes and then trying to piece together a story out of them.

Sprite141 posted:Ok. Just gonna go ahead and not do the cid mission for the ix event. Went from full to zero on all but two characters from critically weak steiner's loving whatever bullshit. Steiner's Climhazard is the only magic attack in that fight. Bring Shellga and you'll survive it. Or just bring your mage team with Raines BSB and bank on the fact that it only has a 25% use chance below 50%, and the fact you can take him from 50% to dead before he can take a full action.

Cowcaster posted:can you go into excruciating detail how you did it because i tried one (1) time last month and got obliterated and realized that using ninja magic was a Bad Idea and my black magic hones were really poo poo so I didn't try again It was a long time ago that I beat Kaiser Dragon, but here are the main points: You really got to hope he goes into Fire mode 2nd or 3rd. If he does, change the crystal to fire resist and then just go to town; the attack he does when changing phases is fire, so everyone should have fire res on anyway, and with the crystal set one person can actually absorb fire Obviously MBlink is real good, but not essential You do have to hone your black magic, but when I beat him the only chain -ga was Blizzaga so you can get away with 4* spells

Anyone still working on Gigases, here's the single most important thing you need to know about the fight: Thunder Gigas hits way, way harder than the other two, and has ~80k less health. Burn him down first.

Looking for some feedback before I try my hand at Nemesis Party so far is: Onion Knight w/ BSB Terra w/ OSB + Wrath and Bahamut Y'shtola w/ Stoneskin and Asylum Vanille w/ BSB Debuff Flex Slot Candidates for that final slot are Faris w/ BSB, Vaan w/ BSB, or Penelo w/ BSB if I don't want to proc any counters I don't have any native Last Stand or Radiant Shield, so that's my major weak spot. I gather that last stand is more important, but even so I'm unsure if Terra alone can dish out 200k while he's blasting for 99999 every turn

ApplesandOranges posted:Don't hit her (other than with maybe Slow and a Dance) til you get mitigation up. Her counters are likely what are screwing you over. No, they're not. Leviathan and Asura both have 600 speed. They each get two attacks before I can do anything. If they decide to direct two of those attacks at the same person non-Celes, I have to restart. Celes can hold on since Basch is gonna be taunting and she doesn't get hit by any magic attacks. Once I've got all my mitigation up (which takes two rounds for Shellga+Runic, Gaia Cross+Retaliate, Stoneskin II) it's pretty manageable. But getting to that point with nobody on critical health is 1 in 10 at best. PS. I direct the Gaia Cross at Leviathan because I'm not an idiot.

Whew, got it. Key was booting Basch and having Tyro tauntaliate in the back row. Bringing a second source of Wall let Yshtola use Asylum with her 2nd SB, and it was all smooth from there. Tyro's damage was somewhere between gently caress and all, but when you have Raines with two dark boosts you don't really need any other DPS.
