I've lost track. After today's 20 mythril (plus the ones from quizzes) are we expecting any more major mythril infusions?

That's a tough one. OK with both USBs is gonna be a staple in a lot of parties, but generally if you need to bring Godwall you want it up ASAP, so an LMR for him could bean getting to stick the Thunder God RM on someone else.

MarquiseMindfang posted:Ah, to clarify, the 8k damage was from Bismarck's spells, not Sealion. I tried him first, then moved on. Yeah, I'm always on Speed 1 for anything above 160. Maybe I'm just misremembering something. I'll get back to him eventually I suppose. Bismark's gimmick, aside from multielement spells when most magicites go all-in on one, is that it doesn't ramp up like the others. Most of the others rely on a move that imperils your party to their element as a "soft enrage" from 30 seconds on. On the one hand, this means that if you can survive the start of Bismark you can keep surviving. On the other hand, this means that there's no grace period to get things together.

General consideration to give to things: --3* motes: common as muck, not much of a stat boost. You may be a little short if you're just starting but these come from all over the place and in large amounts. Feel free to stick them into anyone you use for anything, but don't expect it to do much. --4* motes: they come in pretty easily when you tackle higher content, and there's a mote dungeon that cycles through them to get more, but you'll often be low on one of the five. Main thing to look for here is characters that gain access to more abilities (for example Lightning gets Spellblade access so she actually has a lightning skill), other than that you'll find bigger stat boosts or percentage-based (3% dragoon skills, or 3% spear damage). After a fest or two (big events every 3 months that tend to have giveaways, such as the one that just ended) you'll have a bunch of these, and can pretty much spend them on anyone who's going in your main teams. --5* motes: this is the big one. Everyone takes 100 motes of two different types to fully dive, and the rewards can be quite good. You're generally getting 30-ish to some stats, 10% damage, and a couple of legend materia. These motes are the rarest though, and some people's dives are a lot better than others. So check around before you spend them.

The gigases don't really have a lot of gimmicks, they just poo poo out a whole bunch of damage relatively quick. FFT also has about twice the HP he ought to.

Most of these jumpstarts have been powercrept so hard that I think the only difficult part of my cleanup (looks like I only missed two) will be remembering to get the right debuffs on them before they explode.

I really like the 260 Elmdor fight. There are a lot of moving parts, but that gives multiple ways to approach it and the feel of the fight shifts as you take out the pieces. It's a grind but it's an interesting grind, a lot of the 260 fights have felt more like rocket tag.

Most of the FFV ones are "here's half of a cave where you fight two battles. Now have the other half where you fight a boss." With nine FFV stages I thought we'd get to Karnak, not barely make it out of the ship graveyard.

NGDBSS posted:MC3s have been plentiful enough since their introduction that if you didn't miss one you only have 30 characters left at 80. (Plus or minus 1, apparently.) Growth eggs have also not been in short supply, so you can likely throw them at several level 80s to quickly level them without the need to grind on Sundays. Yeah. I started playing late (~ 9 months ago, now, so earlier than the current newbies) but those catch-up dungeons have given me an amazing glut of them recently. I just need to get over my own resource-starved mentality.

Zernach posted:So I just started and am now sitting on 25 mythril, what banner should I click? I tried to read the last few pages but it was just gibberish to me Don't pull on the newcomer banners. They're overloaded with old and outdated relics. You might get something cool, but you're just as likely to get some old unique that isn't worth the electrons it's printed on. And the old stuff that IS useful can be gotten from the newcomer quests, they offer a choice of relics as you go through (that may be overwhelming to a newbie but at least it's a choice not random) As far as the other ones, some are better than others (Bartz on the FFV banner for example is a strong character who just got some new stuff that compliments him well) but if you're just starting out you can pull for what looks neat or your favorite realms and be happy. Aside from a couple of outliers everything on the new banners is good, or at least good enough, if you're not trying to immediately pursue whale content.

Kheldarn posted:Alright. I'll give that a go. Thanks! For Necrophobe look for a RW with an AoE. Shadow BSB is a popular one because after his entry it gives en-dark and instant (CMD1)/fast-cast AoE (CMD2) commands, which can really spit out some damage even on underleveled folks. Other notable RWs: Orlandeau OSB: this was the main one for carrying events before AOSBs became a thing. It's a high damage hit and then gives Thunder God, which is haste for the part of the bar that fills after you pick an ability. Tyro USB: Godwall. Haste, protect, shell, and 100% def/res boosts that stack with proshell. This is every defensive buff in one package. Probably better to go for RWs that help you kill faster, but know this exists otherwise the damage at heigher tiers will seem unsurmountable. Various BSBs: in the top tier meta these things have gotten pretty powercrept, but the BSB commands may be better than other skills you currently have access to and they sometimes give en-element as a rider along with an innate attack boost and haste that come from Burst Mode.

MF_James posted:Are the ninja dark abilities good? I'm going to have a lot of trouble pulling together DPS for 3* dark magicite, I'll have to check what I've got vaulted and stuff but all I can think of off the top of my head is Orleandu BSB, Sipher chain with his... SSB..., and maybe a thing for golbez. So I might end up honing the ninja stuff up and slap it on yuffie or edge if it's useful, despite not having an SB to back them. Yuffie Edge and Shadow don't need any SB to be good. Their doublecast dive combos with strong ninja attacks that build well off multicast procs. Particularly with a chain.

NGDBSS posted:Blink effects are a lot more applicable than stuff like Draw Fire/Grand Cross because they actually care about relevant NAT attacks. While they don't cover everything, they do still hit most of what you'll care about. Pblink works against PHY and NAT attacks that deal physical damage, PHY attacks that deal fixed or missing health damage, or NAT gravity damage. Mblink instead works against anything except PHY or NIN that deals magical damage, missing health damage, or gravity damage. (Dual blink/Shield works against anything in either category and gets checked later on the priority list.) So between them the only things that aren't affected are weird edge cases like NIN attacks (very rare even for defense-piercing attacks), non-PHY fixed damage, or abilities explicitly coded to ignore blinks. Odds are that if the last category is showing up on a boss, it's not the end of the world because you're supposed to tank it/block it in some other way like Last Stand or HP Stock/diminish its effect with attack debuffs/deal with it and move on because it's part of the boss gimmick like with Ruby Weapon. I didn't realize that, I thought they had the Runic issue. That definitely makes it handy to have in the toolkit, and looking at it again I think it's my first instant medica USB.

NinjaDebugger posted:Perhaps ironically, I'm so loaded on lightning stuff that I'm only a little bit short of doing the FF15 JS. Many of the others want things I don't have at the moment. That's the other factor. Bartz was my first strong character and has great elemental coverage, so I had a solid core to build a lot of teams around even if other folks weren't optimal. Lightning and dark have been my weak spots for a while, though not nearly as weak as they used to be.

poe meater posted:I need some info and guidance on the nightmare dungeons. I'm not sure how to approach the dungeons that require magic/summon damage or counter physical attacks. You'll probably need to craft some chain -ga spells too, but likely doable. Depends more on the level of the folks involved, Nightmares were made when 80 was the cap so they're pretty easily power crept now. Main thing is Valigarmanda, that one's a puzzle boss and you're going to need at least people able to cast Ifrit/Shiva/Ramuh..

Indecisive posted:The Nightmares were released very early, high end characters were level 80, and before a lot of the current 5* skills even existed, and the ones that did exist were much less powerful (less hits, less potency, etc), and USB's didn't exist. BSB's are plenty strong enough for them. Many can be cheesed out with an appropriate USB/BSB, though for some you will actually have to hold back damage to work around the scripted parts of the fight to earn mastery. Yeah I was thinking more in terms of mastery because that's how I tried to tackle them first time when I started (I have this *thing* about leaving stuff unfinished, 100% first time even if the reward's junk). Brute forcing almost all of them is very doable these days.

That spar with Seifer is incredibly tight. When I unlocked it at 29 I couldn't win, and at 31 I just barely did. Is there a way to egg these guys up to 40 or just grinding a smidge at a time?

NGDBSS posted:The side battle with Seifer is actually the best place to grind. But if you're having issues with it there's an easily exploitable pattern. Seifer's first attack on Tyro (well, front row, but only Tyro is there) will hurt, but his turn 2 Fira is actually 40% current HP (so it won't kill anyone) and his turn 3 attack instead targets Elarra. Turn 4 is AoE Fira at ~600 damage, and turns 5/6 target whoever has the highest proportion of HP. Turn 7 is the rude double-hit AoE but ideally Seifer should be dead by then. So how do you deal with this? On turn 1, have Elarra cast Fat Chocobo and Tyro cast Biora. On turn 2 have Elarra again cast Fat Chocobo and Tyro use Biora Strike. (By now the latter ability should be safe to use with Seifer at or below half health.) It may sound unsafe to go in, guns blazing, but given the AI and your likely stats Seifer is incapable of killing either character before his turn 4 and unlikely to do before his turn 5. This gives you time to push him to 50% HP, and so on their turns 3+ Tyro can attack with Biora Strike (or his SB) while Elarra spams healing. That's what I did once I realized it was tight enough that I needed both chocobos, but it's still very close. At 29, the level you reach him if you haven't done any grinding before now (or at least the level I reached him) he won't get below half health off the second summon, and the counter messes logistics up. At 31 and 32 the killing blow goes off a fraction of a second before his 7th attack (there's a reason the boss strats say "try using speed 1"). At 33 and up you do enough damage to shave a whole cycle off and it becomes much more comfortable.
