there's a lot of bosses these days that force us to pick between old wall and OK not-burst for RW

putting the water chain on a tidus+squall banner is both clever and vicious.

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

oh hey that's right, ASBs are mono-elemental, not element+none

also ultima weapon has 90% resist all. squall hit him for 3k damage :flaccid:

I'm getting good use of Basch at this point still, he's not "bad" bad like say Gau, it's just really missing that cherry on top (chase, dual cast...) that would push him past 50k dps.

gau has one hell of an USB coming up, incidentally

forgetting about having edge usb has to be some kind of crime

if you can sub30 a 4* for some crystal you care about you could use up your rocks on that

otherwise don't go out of your way for it, life's just getting more convenient

if you dive a ninja you are 100% guaranteed to pull a relic for some different ninja soon after

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

i wouldn't legend dive someone you don't have a solid USB or better for unless you have a very specific goal in mind

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

yeah my ixion team has OK basically just chain-casting hastega

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

ixion is a good fight to end quickly so you don't have to deal with that rear end in a top hat any longer

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

try basically just lifesiphoning the first part and then chaining SBs once he starts countering. cloud USB might also be useful.

Oct 29, 2011

you just get dr mog for like 80% of the challenging content anyway, and can rely on like two godwalls for the rest

Gave Tiamat a go and gently caress those back to back aoe hits sideways. What's the recomended strategy here, three healers, a ton of blinks?

it's the only 4* that i double-heal, with selphie and elarra

if you don't have a good last stand you're probably in trouble though

i dunno, it looks like an attempt to bilk customers by intentionally narrowing the viable options to me

valigarmanda is real useful on hidon, just a few casts can take a big chunk out of the erebuses

we've got the wind quadstrike now, but yeah cloud has really lovely ability access for his element and LM

I went with Gaffgarion with his USB because his chase is a drain and healing is gonna be a problem, the en-dark with help a lot and I put him in the 5th slot since he gets doomed immediately and that pairs well with Reaping Scythe.

i just use crimson cross. the chase easily heals the self-damage with hp to spare.

i'd suggest trying double healer for the first few kills on magicites, unless you've got one of the S-tier USBs

I've got deuce USB/BSB, selphie USB/BSB, aphmau USB and elarra USB/LMR for healers. I dived deuce, but don't have enough 4* motes for others, I'm swimming in 5*s but 4*s are in short supply atm.

So should I double healer, support and 2 DPS, or forgo support?

you've got elarra USB, just skip straight to single-healing 4*s

maybe they'll make the defensive knight dives not garbage

Hopefully this opens up the possibility for Lightning getting access to Spellblade 6*

if you've got the aptitude from a dive it really ought to unlock 6*s same as if it was native

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

anyway i'm wondering if it wouldn't be easier to just give a blanket +10% fire damage to all characters

Prav
Oct 29, 2011

on the 6* offerings, is that 50% per hit, or total?

By now veterans have probably thrown away hundreds of each, far over the number of characters ever possible to include in the FF canon, on memory eggs just because they don't have any other use for them.

actually i just let them pile up since i've also got infinite eggs
