I said come in! posted:My hope was that I could get carried and get characters leveled up easily, if that is a thing? My highest level characters right now are just level 65. You can also get carried in single player by using a roaming warrior. If you find one with an overstrike soul break in an element the boss is weak to (or at least doesn't resist) you can oneshot most encounters with difficulty less than 100

How do people keep track of their stuff? I'm a fairly new player, but I've already got a bunch of assorted 5*/6* stuff, and if I want to know something like whether I could put together a passable wind team, I don't have a way to answer that except by going through everything one at a time. Is there some nifty tool I'm unaware of where I can enter all my relics and then quickly answer questions like that?

Are roaming warriors once per day or something? It seems like the more I play the deeper I have to dig to find a godwall (pretty much the only RW I actually use).

Funso Banjo posted:If you're a brand new player, what's the time expectancy to be playing end(ish) game stuff? Is it a year or two to build up and power up your dudes, or is it more like a month or two? I've been playing for a couple of months, and just finished all the Nightmares this weekend. The fest helped a lot with throwing relics and orbs at me. Magicites splatter me into the ground incredibly quickly though.

Bruceski posted:I feel like "say 'screw it' and tank the crazy form" should be in Mog's tips for Gogo. I crafted Firaga, Meteor and Flare trying to follow along without def buffing. I think the hard Gogo you're "supposed" to mimic his first few spells but it's better to ignore that and fight him like normal.

Kheldarn posted:OK, I'm at the point where I need to clear (almost?) all of the Nightmare Dungeons to finish Book 7. I own every character except Riku & Sora from KH. Here's a spreadsheet with the Soul Breaks and Record Materia I have available. What's going to be my best team loadout for clearing them? I don't care about mastering them right now; I just want to unlock Magicite. I found this reddit post useful for getting through the nightmares. There's been a bit of power creep since then but it's still pretty handy. The first four bosses in each section you can normally beat with whatever, but the main bosses all have gimmicks, some of which you can brute-force past but for most of them you'll need to make a team specially for them (reraise  )

The 3* dark magicite is a giant pain in the rear end. There's nothing that can dodge his instakill other than dealing 120k damage in the first 10 seconds, right?

MF_James posted:Correct, the easiest thing to do (if you can't poo poo out 120K damage in 10 seconds) is to have someone with low HP like shelke run as entrust bot, not heal them and then let them eat that first instakill, the next one(s) you should be able to hit because your DPS will be up and running.

Ah, that should do it. I might have to farm the holy magicite a bit so I can get him doing enough damage with DMT instead of a damage boost RM. e: Did it, thanks! Orlandeau DMT, Ramza MM gets chain off first, Shelke wraths and entrusts Orlandeau in time for T2 second OSB. Got him down to zero pixels on his health bar sub-30 then he killed all my DPSs and I ended up taking him down with normal attacks and a lifesiphon at 35s, but a win is a win. ee: Let's look up the 4* magicite stats/attacks. Hmm, it may be a while before I do any of these. Qwertycoatl fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Nov 26, 2018 |

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Oh yeah, because the people near me use those all the time. Nope; they like to use mega heals and other useless poo poo that I can do myself. If you swipe up in the roaming warrior list you get some more added to the bottom, and you can press refresh to see even more. It shouldn't take too long to find some random person with a magic-based arcane overstrike. Not all of them can be just cheesed, but many can - when we talk about powercreep, we mean that Ultima Buster can be literally one-shot by roaming warrior. quote:Except the Master requirements forbid black magic on the magic boss and dumb poo poo like Ultima Buster just loving hit you with max damage all-party attacks that even my maxed out Cloud dies to in a few hits and he has the most ducking health of any character I own. If he can't even tank hits how the gently caress are a bunch of paperweight shitbirds like Terra or Lulu supposed to even survive long enough to cast spells? Huh? The master requirements on Ultima are "hit some elemental weaknesses". (don't stress the master requirements though, stuff unlocks even if you don't master them and you can come back later and chump them). As for tanking hits - are you using Wall and Shellga (or roaming warrior divine veil grimoire)? Do you have a decent healer? Qwertycoatl fucked around with this message at 19:31 on Dec 16, 2018 |

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Ultima Buster of course. It's the one people seemed to talk about the most. You've given the impression that you don't really care about doing the fight "properly" and just want it out of the way. So just go through the roaming warrior list until you find a magic-attack arcane soul break. Use it and win.

My arsenal has improved since then but my thought of them as out of my league remains. I was in this position but today I finally got off my rear end and did one. I got the earth one with Alphinaud chain and DTs, OK's DPS USB, Aerith healing and two entrusters to get Alphinaud and OK going and then to feed a continual stream of soul gage into Aerith to keep up the healing.

Hitlers Gay Secret posted:Also still looking for a Roaming Warrior to kill Evrae Altana for me. AFAIK you can't just one-shot it because it has phases and poo poo. You should be able to search the internet to find some handy offensive white magic USBs/BSBs and then get a code for one from https://friends-ffrk.com/ though. That should help a lot. Or just hone a ton of white magic crap you'll never use again, I beat it with no offensive soul breaks and so can you. Or just skip that one for now. The reward is worthless, and the magicite battles you unlock by doing all the nightmares are way harder than the nightmares. Can you comfortably do mote dungeons?

Tin Can Hit Man posted:It really does bottleneck you at the Nightmare Dungeon --> Magicite point. I stopped playing halfway through the Nightmare Dungeons because they just felt like a huge slog. It's pretty obvious to me these were intended to be done as they were released initially. Coming up to them now it just looks like a chore. I don't think the bottleneck is as real it looks. The real progression in terms of difficulty is Nightmare -> Motes -> Magicite. If you do the nightmares when you aren't powerful enough to just stomp all over them (apart from a couple of the gimmickier ones), you don't actually unlock any battles you have a hope of winning yet. HGS seemed to think unlocking magicites would help with the mote dungeons, but it won't. As for paying for gatcha, I'm completely free-to-play, been playing for a bit less than six months, and I've just recently finished the 3* magicites and beaten one 4*.

I just know that I need it to beat anything over difficulty 160 apparently. The easiest magicite battles are difficulty 250. There's nothing you get for unlocking magicites unless you can beat a fight that hard.

NGDBSS posted:Relm USB will definitely be useful. The thing about the Guardian is that it was tuned for an era before magicites. USBs and CSBs didn't exist, ways to buff MND were rare at best, and ways to deal damage with WHT-typed effects were even worse off. (Only recently did Holy get buffed to 4 hits rather than 1 hit.) So you can probably go for the throat. Also consider Alphinaud. His BSB is summoning and has a command that restores hones. In any case summoning/holy is the way to go, and just kill the wave cannon thingy ASAP instead of faffing about with the hot potato minigame you're "supposed" to do.

I did the curada nightmare with summons rather than holy partly because I had a decent collection of soul breaks that boosted the party's magic, but none that boosted their mind.

Kheldarn posted:So, now that I have Curada (and Ultima), is there any recommended order to do the remaining Nightmare Dungeons in? Like, will any of the other Records make things easier? Meltdown is the other particularly useful nightmare ability. Valigarmanda is decent. Affliction Break has situational use but I rarely use it. The others are all on a scale from fairly mediocre to trash.

Valigarmanda would be amazingly useful for the Valigarmanda record, but sadly that doesn't really work... It'd probably be helpful for Neo Bahamut too, although I'm not entirely sure how multi-element summons interact with his gimmick.
