Part of me feels the individual rewards for this raid are there to make us buy more unit slots.

Sure, I can free up space for 10 cactuars, but 20? 30? Yikes.

Yes, Yshtola is better than Refia without dualcast. However, beyond the status effect case, Refia also has Embolden which boosts physical attack teams and complements Cecil's Focus. Yshtola only has defensive buffs of protectga and shellga.

Is there much of a reason to use Yshtola over dualcast Refia, besides situational need?

Decided to use 5 tickets to try for Xon.

Of course, I missed Xon. I did get a second Chizuru and then a second Orlandu.

Then I pulled 2 more and got Xon.

I think I'll be out of luck for a while.

I racked up 6* mats through the king mog events and did a few every time cactuar dunes came up.

I've been starting to do TMR macro farming but I have trouble keeping it working when I'm not watching

Nox seems to crash too mcuh to be relied on and on my phone I don't know how to load macros for Frep, if that's possible, so poo poo like the daily quest reset fucks up my overnights

I've been using Memu for months with very few issues. I'd recommend giving that a shot.

Spent 12 tickets to get Setzer. On the way, I got no rainbows, but got my 3rd Xon, my 2nd WoL, 3rd Gaffgarion and 6th Zidane.

I also spent 500 Lapis on the daily bundle to get the Rainbow Blooms I needed to get Xon to 6*.

PS

TG Cid or Ice-Sword-Bitch chaining can kill the elite boss without issues. Im doing it with my near BiS tgcid and my 500atk tgcid.

Hopefully, I'll get another dual wield farmed soon so I don't have to switch with my 2nd with Arena Chiz.

I would've thought killing him with 1 920ATK Luneth and 1 low 800sATK TGC would work, but not every time.

The problem with TGC and Dark Knight's Soul is that it activates off sword, not greatsword (wtf?).

You're better off with katana and Blade Mastery as your second weapon.

Kefka wasn't hard at all, but that summon requirement is going to be tough, since I don't have a leveled Rydia or Garnet.

For reference, my team was,

CoD - Omniveil
Cecil - Provoke and backup heals
TGC - 938ATK
Milfinia - Stat boosts
Y'shtola - Heals
Friend TGC - 900+ATK

I still have Kenny Rogers as my friend unit, but I can switch to Orlandu if people want it.

I'm honestly not sure how I can get him down after summoning both carbuncle and diabolos considering how loving long it takes with a non holy Orlandeau and friend Orlandeau. I managed to summon both, then I guess I did practically no damage during his weak to holy phase. Kinda annoying

5 Void Vessels after he's weak to dark.

I thought the Great Mage's Robes gave +40 MAG&SPI and +30 DEF


Turns out I read it backwards, +40 DEF and +30 MAG&SPI :negative:

It's just the Cupid's Robes with +20 DEF and +20% MP instead of +20% Dark Resistance. (and being actual robes for Shard of Genius or Dark Fina's TMR which the Cupid's Robe isn't)

This FF6 event is bad

Yeah, I went to equip it and realized Siren's Robe was better.

Finished Kefka at around turn 38ish. That fight was loving AWESOME and the music was sick. It was pretty smooth sailing and nobody died (Y'shtola dropped to like 150 HP once though). My team was REALLY stacked: Cecil, Y'shtola, CoD, Noctis, Orlandeau + friend Orlandeau with everyone at a minimum of 5.9k HP.

How did you deal with MP? Did you just use a mess of pots?

All valid points. The undeniable counterpoint is "she has a dragon."

I would run 3x Luneth in arena. He's a loving beast there, especially if you take off espers.

I don't know how useful Luneth 2 or 3 are. He's an incredible finisher with his enhancements but the opportunity to run 2 or even 3 finishers is rare unless you're building OTKO teams.

I run 2 in arena + Chiz since I use her stop on dodgers. The others on my team are Dark Fina and Ling/Y'shtola.

Reminder: Only pull on this next banner if you're sick of waiting for WoL or want to grind Grace's TM (Magic Amplifier Acc: MP +20%, MAG +25%, SPR +25%).

Next three banners should be some combination of Tilith/Vargas/Elza, Swimsuit Fina/Dark Fina and Tidus/Rikku.

We may also get a fast-tracked FF14 event mid-July along with Stormblood release next month, which means a free Minfilia/Y'shtola/Yda/Papalymo from raid gacha/point rewards. We don't speak of Thancred.

Bowie Knife is pretty nice too, no?
