The biggest advantage of Rikku CSB is that it frees up Tidus to use his other powerful water Soul Breaks :v:

I actually have Zack Chain, and Noctis does have Dragoon 5, so maybe he makes my wind team

Last time, I got 2x Locke Dagger, this time, 2x Rikku Targe. The only use for dupes is to feed them to an existing copy to increase the power of it, right?

other people can equip them to get the synergy bonus in-realm

This is important enough to bear repeating. Aside from Ninjutsu (which has both MAG-based and ATK-based skills) and a few NAT-coded SBs, the ability type determines what stat an ability scales off of.

Black Magic, Summons, Witch Skills, and NAT-based damaging SBs (Trigger Happy's entry/CMD1, Wishing Star, etc) key off of MAG. In addition, a handful of Ninjutsu skills (the 3* Veils, Phantasm, Gust, Smoldering Fire, and Raging Storm) key off of MAG, but have a much lower hard cap since they pierce RES.

White Magic keys off of MND. This increases the amount of damage and healing you do with white magic, so high MND helps Rem as much as it helps Deuce. Mind also extends the length of dispellable buffs (Protect/Shell/Haste/Reflect) and Esuna-able debuffs (poison/stop/paralyze/silence/blind). NAT-based medica SBs (Trigger Happy CMD2, Selphie USB, etc) also keys off of MND, though they don't get boosts from +White in legend dives.

Everything else keys off of ATK. A couple of Knight skills (Armor Strike, Aegis Strike) and SBs (Steiner's SSB1) consider DEF in the equation for damage and are terrible because of it, but they still scale off of ATK as well.

darkness is also mixed

Snow's Chain was probably the worst in the game back when Snow had no way of contributing to it without his other relics. These days, I don't know, Locke probably. I'm also really not a fan of Edward's new Holy Chain for a couple of reasons

Regardless, All Chains Are Good

Tifa LMR and Staff of Ramuh are the only dupes, I have enough for 2 pulls and maybe another tomorrow, let's go

have her bsb, should be good

another Ashe thing, I think I have Aphmau's LMR, Maria BSB is solid magical earth. about as good a set of pulls as I could hope for without getting any 6* relics.

but man, I wanted some 6* relics. Tempted to pull again, even with 6 dupes

I somehow still have zero (0) Ramza relics so if it's actually good I might consider a pull there

My sub30 Maliris team has all 3 of Tidus, Bartz and Yuffie on it

Edit: it might honestly be faster if I subbed out Bartz for my also-dived Edge, but I'm already consistently sub30ing her so whatever, I'll save the orbs

I always hear about how Ixion is pretty much a gimme once you have Edge SSB2 or Arc SSB2 but I have both and I don't think I've managed to get it below 75% before it crushed me

Well I'm convinced, thanks everyone. On both that Edge needs some attention from me, and that the torments are worth doing. heck, I should just have a ninja week or something

e: gently caress, I always forget Fujin. whether its that she does wind stuff or is a dang ninja, I just forget her every single time

e2: I just have ninja blindness or something

Fujin is a wind mage. The best thing Ninja gives her is Stitch in Time, she's basically the only Ninja actually interested in it

that only happens when they gently caress up real bad

I'm sitting here with 2 characters dedicated to healing and I still can't keep up with Ixion's damage output. Anytime I try to take time off of healing to do literally anything else (like cast hastega), I immediately eat poo poo. I don't get it and it's annoying because I'm pretty sure I have all the pieces to beat it

You could bring breaks.

Does everyone have lightning resist?

I've tried breaks, and I use lightning resist, yes. The healer setup I was using there was Arc with his SSB2 and Onion Knight who starts healing immediately after using his bsb (I have his lmr as well)

For other boostgas I tried Josef with USB and earth monk abilities, and Minfilia with SSB and breaks. My best medica USB is Rosa; I've tried her, and also my fully dived Y'Shtola with BSB before

For DPS my most used are Tifa with USB1, OSB and enearth lmr and a dived Bartz with USB (also lmr and osb but I haven't used those yet). I've used TGCid with USB/LMR, and a dived Edge with SSB2 a couple times. I also have a dived Yuffie with USB1, Glint and LMR who I haven't tried yet.

EDIT: and I've used Shelke as an entruster a bunch

Put off all the fest content until this afternoon because I'm dumb, ended up having to leave behind the highest difficulty Weapon fights, the top two Zeromus fights, and the gil only raids.

same, but instead of putting it off until the last minute I chose not to do them because gently caress that bullshit

That is the same thing...

50% chance per hit is extremely different to 50% chance per ability cast. If it's per hit, you get 4 times as many chances to imperil, which greatly improves the odds of it proccing at least once per ability usage

I'm fairly certain (I don't really use them) the current offering abilities are per ability, not per hit. I'm going to assume the 6*s will function similarly

I've had so much trouble getting Bismark down consistently until literally right now, when I took the team I used to squeak out a win against Kraken in on a whim and beat my record, without using wall. I have no idea why it feels so much easier now.

I like that gimmick of "cursed" equipment with downsides as well as upsides. I dunno how many of them will be viable, though, but I like the idea of it.

i have like 3 copies of an accessory that lets you resist 3 elements but makes you vulnerable to water. I have literally never been punished for using it, and I don't think I've had to use the trick where you wear water resist armor to overwrite the water weakness, because only the best case applies.

I have like half a dozen dark resist accessories. That Emporer (ii) light armor might as well just read "Dark Boost"
