3% versus 1% doesnt sound like that big of a change, but every 33 pulls on average versus every 100 ends up being a pretty significant change.

hey goons would it be helpful to a significant number of y'all if i geared up my ayaka for ice resist and made her my friend unit? will it generally be easier for someone to set up chainers and bring a paralyze immune unit with aoe raise

50% ailment resist is kinda worthless since if you need to resist something you need to resist it, not maybe resist it. so it's a very goofy 10% hp ultimately.

as much as i have dogged on bedile in the past today i got another rydia and brought her up to 75% towards...blizzaga. bediles tm is also bad but i have to figure its got to be marginally better than like, firaga, blizzaga, or "equip daggers" which jesus christ

Two rainbows in my 10+1!

Delita, and .... Knight Delita

To the earth shrine with y'all. I need to finish three Goromu TMRs and get some high damage Lightning element chainers together. Been part of the plan for a while since I happen to want to keep using Olive if possible. Isn't there a nice Lightning katana too? hrm...

Thinking about getting the Mythril Chest for a last ditch hail mary effort at Christine but I am no whale, it's a fool's errand. The moogle and the +30% have me skewing the real value considerably. I could get my Ring of Lucii 10% sooner... (don't do it self, don't spend money on a god drat gacha game)

the guromu TMR is the lightning weapon you're thinking of. unless you're thinking of the lightning katana you can craft but its only 60 atk.

my 10+1 gave me a reberta which i guess is all right since i have veritas of the heavens tmr already but she seems like she has the same problem chaining as aileen (moving before attacking) so i guess she's only good for the odd dragon we need to kill? no reason to level her TMR so at least i can max her unlike the knight delita i got recently.

He's absolutely right about Seph/Lila. If 7* hadn't come out then yeah, I'd say hold out till that banner since its fantastic but 7*s coming out so quickly after it and them being literally the last 5*s to get 7* forms means that you'll have really shiny benchwarmers for 4-5 months after they stop being relevant a month and change after they come out.

Although by then we'll know if their 7*s are loving insane and then we can decide to roll on their rate up just as an investment :v:

global is a different game, my friend, and so the order of 7* release will be researched by leading psychologists to inflict the most possible wallet opening torture gumi can devise.

Varance posted:

More like Ignis cooks things to give the party healing and buffs, and after he's done cooking, he can give characters an elemental imbue for a couple of rounds. One of his dishes has a 6 round cooldown, but boosts all stats by 150% and prevents stat debuffs. He also dishes out a 100% fire imperil. Downside is that all of his abilities take two turns to ramp up, and his elemental imbues are locked behind cooking, so you end up in a rotation of food preparation >> serve food >> give imbue. He's not going to be highly rated.

I still want to know why he gets blind resist.

its because he wears glasses

the hording is a bit weird because the ~logic~ behind it will never stop being true and when he blows it on whatever he'll be better off for awhile but eventually lag behind again due to hording. i do see some sense in saving for a particular thing you want i guess but a steady stream of pulls will result in you having a wider net and at least for right now a lot of good TMR units are 3/4.

in the future it seems like the game will all devolve into hitting some of the watered down 5* pool that actually does stuff and thats going to be a fresh new hell for sure.

i dont think excalibur OK is all that niche, while aigiaons fist does have a higher attack stat and whatever pseudo high tide on it a spark chain is just so much more effective than a regular chain that i think having an elemental weapon on OK is just basically always better

maybe they'll make global reberta 7* good v:shobon:v

edit: i have literally never pulled a banner 5*. ever. i did get WKN with my 5* ex ticket which is insanely lucky and i can hardly believe but am i very rng unlucky in this regard or is that just the odds

i can set my 100% ice resist Ayaka to my friend unit. i have no idea how much trouble she has surviving the initial turn since Mystea took care of that for me, which means that Mystea can take care of that for you too. altho having a nearly 7k health Ayaka with 100% ice resist means she can probably survive? i have no idea.

anyway i can set that as my friend unit if it would help anyone. also let me know if we arent in game friends i guess.

there is a maximum multiplier in a chain for finishing purposes and its halved for spark chaining but im sick and dont entirely understand it when i am not sick so maybe someone who has the full use of their brain and body can help with the specifics.

i can say that this is why elemental weapons are preferred for chaining even outside of imperils. a chaining move that imperils hits the chain cap in half the hits and thus has a way looser window. thats why enhanced aileen piledriver is so insanely strong chaining with another aileen. since the entirety of all the other earth weapons is like, ruggles hammer.

See I loving new it that that the moment I started working on my magic team that they'd release the Aileen enhancements.

Now I need to grind out the two champion belts and veritas of heaven TMRs.

luckily a single aileen is a bit light on materia requirements since fist mastery/veritas of the heavens/dual wield occupy three of the four slots so you just naturally toss adventurer v in the last one.

multiple aileens is a different story since there's only one aigiaons arm, although i suppose that lets you go with greatsword mastery and you only need the two champion belts, but that does let you use genji glove for more stuff i suppose.

I have everything I need to set up two really loving insane aileens, given that I already have a lot of the things I need to pump them up BUT I still need to grind out a whole lot more to get them to the very top. 2 VoH, 2 Champions, 1 VoD, 1 Duke. God help me if I end up pulling new years chocobro.

And then you run into the problem that Aileen cant chain for poo poo on 10 mans till Camille gets her 6*. I think I'll stick with my T.Terras and Christine for the time being, but I'll probably enhance one and gear her eventually.

actually one of the aileen enhancements is 50% attack from spear mastery and i am starting to wonder if 2x champions belt bumps into the 300% stat cap. also i guess she can perfect chain with inichol for the 10 man? although that cant elemental chain obviously so its not quite as good as camille will be
