1/11 Bartz gsb. Not the worst 1/11 possible but my luck has been poo poo recently. Still it's a strong relic though I don't know how well it sticks with USB1.

So I decided to tackle the new torments finally, at least for the first two stages of FFT and FFV. I don't have a chance in hell of the D??? Since I'm missing some key relics for every realm. FFT, nothing crazy, TGCid made it trivial to sub 30. FFV, holy poo poo Bartz. I RNGed into the sub 30, I don't think I'd be able to do it again with what I have, not easily. With about 6 seconds to go, Bartz quintuple casted Snowspell strike. With 2 seconds to go he quad casted. It still took one more D&S from Faris to finish it at about 29 seconds. Giving Bartz LM2, LMR and spellblade DC RM is totally the way to go with these chains. 360k damage in two turns is awesome and clutch as hell.

I believe Alphinaud is a very solid dive, especially if you have any one or two of his relics. For newer players who luck into any of them, dualcasting summons is invaluable into being able to clear the standard difficult content (weekly events and maybe tough realm dungeons). His SSB alone with LD made him a valuable member of a few of my 4* magicite sub 30s, particularly ixion and Isgebind. His USB allowed me to sub30 midgardsomr. All of these are without chains or even very strong relics for those elements. Is he a top mage? Probably not if you're min maxing, but he's drat good.

I have Cloud USB1, LMR1, LMR2, BSB2 and GSB. If going straight wind dps, what do you think my best LM options are? I'm guessing LM1 and LMR2 with the spellblade. Is LMR1 actually viable over LM1? For reference LMR1 is chance to speedcast wind. LM1 is boost to physical dps.

Interesting RoPs for me so far. FF0: King USB FFT: Ramza USB2 (dupe) FFXV: Prompto USB and BSB I have Kain USB and CSB plus Lightning USB. Between Prompto and King USBs, what's the better choice for me? I imagine once those 6* offerings come out, King's imperil capabilities will be nearly as good as Prompto. Anyone try running both of them? Two machinists will probably run up that chain really quickly.

That's one way of looking at AASBs. Considering how whale-ish a lot of the current endgame is, I think DeNa was somewhat forced into the AASB era. The game couldn't really continue linearly at it's current pace without becoming stale. The real test will be where they go from there, which is still TBD. Currently I'm putting like 10 pulls towards Bartz/Terra and seeing where things fall. Personally I'm fine just pulling on discount banners between now and 4th anyway. The other problem before AASBs was that they didn't make a lot of interesting new relics for about 1 year. Literally the best one in recent memory is still Ellara's USB. The next 3 months of banners were imminently skippable even before the 4th banners powercrept them.

I look forward to the Disgaea collaboration two years from now with AAAOSBSBs capping at 99,999,999,999 damage. This game has been a great ride. If it runs it's course with power creep, so be it, this current formula can't last forever.

I started working on 5* magicite and holy poo poo Quetzalcoatl is such a pain. No chain and no AOSBs so it took a while--lots of tinkering to get it right relying on Tifas BSB2 and Kelgar USB. Full dived Cinque with BSB and LMR were my only rage breaker. I cleared it enough times to collect 8 for my lightning mage team but I still haven't mastered it. gently caress that guy.

Buff would probably be OK pUSB, elarra USB to heal. I probably have enough to do it, it's just a matter of learning the fight and I probably need more hones also to get thru it Yeah you have way better options than me. I rely on Ramza's BSB2 and Elarra USB for support. I will say it's a pretty tricky fight, but it's mostly a matter of figuring out the right mix of mitigation and offense. I ended up dropping shellga and only relying on wall plus MBD and fullbreak, which with Catastrophe was enough to keep my guys alive for roughly a full minute. My magicite deck for this battle is entirely 4* with the usual Evrae and mix of defensive and offensive buffs. You can probably beat this with full mastery in under 40 secs. In contrast, my quickest time is 54. You're probably right about the hones. I've pretty much bankrupted myself on Earth mats several times this past month trying to figure out the two lightning battles. Luckily the game's pretty generous with mat drops these days. iamsosmrt fucked around with this message at 05:46 on Dec 25, 2018 |

NGDBSS posted:And as an inverse example, in the currently ongoing Gauntlet of Warriors one of the bosses inflicts a -99% MND debuff that lasts for 10 seconds as an AoE. It procs twice so you can't just rely on Affliction Break to block it to keep your healer from getting junked, it can't be blinked, and with it up most dedicated healers will only be outputting 100-500 HP rather than something in the thousands. But because it just alters MND, you can erase it with the 3* White Magic ability of Grace for +20% MND instead. I don't know the math for this, but the combo of mbd and full break are just enough to give me survivability for Quetzalcoatl, especially in the 30-40 second phase. Wall and Catastrophe rws are also in play, but just these two alone aren't enough.

OK and Elarra can probably handle the debuffs, though for my team, ended up using a bunch of crystal waters for mitigation.

I can't believe this day has come again, but I've run into the 4* vitality mote bottleneck. I guess I've been too liberal with 4* dives recently. But it's crazy how uneven the vitality distribution is in this game. Almost every decent physical character in the game uses them. There isn't a revamp to the lovely mote dungeons right? I suppose I may just have to slowly build up my reserves again.

I've dived even borderline characters for Torment sake. 4* vit is a ridiculous bottleneck right now.

Lvl 99 Geosgaeno is pretty much mandatory. Phoenix seems to go a bit crazy once it's in his final phase, regardless of Enrage mode. Definitely load up on OSB, but you really want to make sure you can use the AOSB to skip as much of the final phase as possible. Do you happen to have any water imperil sbs? That actually might be the best secondary DPS. I think this whole thing will be a pain in the rear end for you to figure out, but I think it's doable. Up to you on how you feel about your own patience and tolerance of getting wrecked over and over until you find the solution.

A team of those three DPS, Ignis and Elarra might pull it out if you can squeek out enough medicas. Aerith usb2 would probably be better in this case. It's a really tough DPS race.

I also have Relm's Last Stand BSB to throw on as an extra layer of bullshit defense. That's actually an impressive amount of survival. Hones, Stormspell (if even just for Bartz teamed with Tidus), and more importantly a water imperil are probably the biggest things for you. The first two sound quickly doable, but if you can't crack 75% with that, I'd say this fight is worth a punt for the future.

The new soft cap is no joke for things like follow-up attacks from USBs. I just beat my Phoenix time by a whole second on a test run with Bartz USB1 follow-ups going from hitting 4500ish previously to now 6500ish per strike with 9,999 crits at maxed Tidus chain. Bartz AOSB went from 82,000 per to straight up 99,999. I'm hoping this went from a somewhat inconsistent fight to a straight up easy farm because arcanes are a bitch.

I did 4 pulls on the KH banner. No dice on the awakenings. I did manage to get all the relics I missed front before (Sora/Riku USBs, AOSBs, LMRs) but that leaves me with 10 dupes now. I can't justify another pull with Bartz' superior AASB coming soon. Oddly I'm pretty confident I can beat Syldra now, bit Mateus is the real thorn in my side. No fire chain makes his tanking a bitch.

I've cleared 9/12 5*s thus far and Elarra's been on every team. The chainless ones (Earth and Fire) have been largely possible due to her USB, so I'm a strong advocate for it. I mean I wouldn't ever justify a full priced pull, but (and this will be my only devil's advocate statement on this subject), I find it reasonable justification if you put in dozens or even hundreds of hours in this game over the years to throw a small token of support money and significantly improve your gameplay.

Speaking of elbow dropping my phone, Typhon is by and far the most infuriating magicite I've faced thus far. Only ones I haven't beaten yet are the earth 5*s which I've yet to touch. Typhon's snort mechanic is such a loving shitshow of DPS RNG. You double cast too much? Congrats you might enter the next phase slightly too early and suddenly you're behind on turns till the next snort cycle. Don't doublecast enough? Now you're behind on the phase turn cycle and he's snorting your key DPS characters a phase early. I can imagine having super OP ice relics might make the snort timing mechanics moot, but for middle tiered dps people like me, I need layers and layers of perfect luck, precise timing and undivided attention. It's the first battle that requires me to pay full attention to the AI scripts on the reddit page. I need 4 more clears of this rear end in a top hat.

eelmonger posted:I'm still working on my Typhon clear, but holy poo poo do I agree with you. For Belias I actually took everyone's dual-cast LMs off because I needed to be super-precise about when I transitioned phases and how that lined up with savage breaking. Unfortunately I don't have that luxury with Typhon because I actually need the double casts later on to do enough damage, but if I double cast too much in phase 1 then you transition out of that too early and have way less time before the next snort. The wind magicites are giant assholes. How far along are you on the Typhon clear? I've beaten it 6 times now, once sub-30 (which I have no idea how it happened). The bigger pain is the transition between phase 2 and 3. There's been quite a few times I think I'm making good on my pace and suddenly he snorts my slot 2 character (DPS). Other times I apparently hit just a little too much and then he's snorting or AOE'ing just a little too quickly. My team is: Rinoa (CSB, BSB2) Shantottot (USB) OK (mUSB) Vivi (USB) Elarra (USB1, LM2, LMR) If you have these pieces, I can help you get to at least the phase 1 transition smoothly.

It seems kind of silly to argue against the imperil skills when battles like 5* magicite can really be seen as puzzle games, that is, the bosses act exactly the same way and each player has to use their unique skills and relics to figure out ways to beat each one. I have some battles where I need exactly 3 casts of one ability, or 4 of another so that when the magicite hits me at the exact same time in phase 3 transition, that I'll have just enough to use an SB at precisely the right times. Imperil skills aren't as reliable as they could be, but that doesn't mean they aren't often a player's best choice to make an iffy run into a reliable one. Of course, with power creep and/or someone's own great luck, maybe you're gear is already incredibly overpowered that imperil theory is moot anyway.
