So now that fest is winding down, I've gone through and made all my AA selections. Upon some review I decided that I was pretty much set for all the available elemental boosts from book 2, and that over half of the list for book 9 was dupes with nothing I really needed from what was left except maybe Meia burst for some magical water. That allowed me to do this: Unless I'm mistaken, I do believe that is a complete Minwu. (LMR not pictured, but I do have it.) The BSB2 might even come in handy if I can feed him enough bars, since his offensive USB doesn't come with enholy.

Zurai posted:Quina is not assigned a gender by the game. Anything which affects only males or only females will not affect Quina. Does this apply to anyone else? I remember way back during the fest that had the coliseum with a bunch of themed brave synergy lists, there were a few other characters that were absent from both the male and female sets. Exdeath was one of them, I'm pretty sure, and I think Cait Sith?

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.  Ah well, at least Zeromus is coming back with the rest of the superbosses again next fest, right?

You can't use RWs for either of those, so no. You wouldn't really be able to cheese them with one anyway, though.

Physical teams for isgebind are fine, all the dudes you listed have access to ranged weapons, inherently ranged abilities, or both. You might have to forgo a +fire weapon or two that you would otherwise use, but that shouldn't make the difference between clearing and not. Unless you don't have any bows or throwers worth a drat, which I guess is entirely possible.

Ok, so. Vincent can be kitted out to do physical decently; give him Prompto's gun. Sabin is the best monk there in a vacuum, but I don't recall off hand whether any of their SB entries (or Sabin's chase) are ranged or not, so Amarant or Galuf might work better for this fight. Bring Greg/Vincent/monk of your choice, along with whatever two healers you were using. Vincent should be using ruby spark for dps and the monk should be using fires within. I won't guarantee that this will get you the clear, but it sounds like a decent setup on paper. If you don't have the hones on the relevant abilities to support this yet, that's something to work towards.

Maybe slow down a little bit? With two astra sources I feel like it shouldn't be too hard to always have it up, so try adjusting the pace of your dps so you're not mashing all of Hades' phase changes into a couple turns. You might also consider swapping your main magicite to unicorn for an extra astra.

4/11 Edward BSB, Porom BSB, Ramza USB1, Ceodore USB, no dupes Always... pull...? I had a bare LMR for Edward, so it's nice to have something else of his now. Porom BSB is... decent, but I have better options. Ramza tech is good, I can probably shave a few seconds off some of my magicite teams if I can make room for it. Ceodore's USB looks pretty blah. It's also my eighth +holy sword, and my third 6* one.

The realm dungeons got revamped, including new rewards, in either late May or early June, but any dungeons you completed previously stayed completed, and you couldn't get the new rewards from them. As compensation, older players got a one time influx of mythril and mats based on how far in the realms they were.

TIL that under the new mission system, if you finish a battle after the event ends, you don't get to claim the mission reward, which I don't think is how the old CMs worked. RIP that 2 million gil I guess.

Literally Umaro. (and Bartz, I guess, if you just want to spam snowspell strike) All the other ice focused sharpshooters are bows/guns only. Fake edit: Actually, Firion could make good use of it once he gets his non-holy toolkit.

I saw you pop in briefly, but then you disappeared? Not sure what happened there, but you were doing it right. There's a way to set raids to private so you need a code to join, but, uh, that doesn't really seem necessary atm. E: Welp. There's no accounting for netcode, I guess.

Also remember that if the team you're likely to use him on already has a source of party instant cast, that will devalue the trance somewhat. That said, just having the free heal can be pretty clutch sometimes.

rabidsquid posted:i got rosa lmr which is one of those "raise mnd every time you cast a white magic spell" how good are these anyway? They're pretty lackluster. Do note, though, that unlike pretty much everything else in the game except for chains, they actually key to the number of individual hits rather than command uses. For instance, in your case casting holy would raise the count by four ticks, not just one.

Ayndin posted:8 has got a lot of potentially good choices, it depends on what else you have to a large extent. Rude's glove is potentially useful for Yuffie and I think Edge if you want to lean on the overpowered ninja skills for earth-weak fights. To weigh in on this, from my experience with Ixion, I've found that Edge has more or less equivalent damage output with either Rude's glove or a 6* katana, thanks to the +katana damage in his dive. The numbers might shift enough to make the glove a better choice if you only have a 5* katana, though, or if you don't have +earth armor for Edge to wear too. The glove does definitely win out for Yuffie, since her dive doesn't have any +equipment nodes iirc.

It's a good LMR if you have Other poo poo for Noel, since there's no ability school restriction, meaning it affects SBs too. More importantly, though, it's ever elusive +ice armor, that literally everyone can wear, no less! A Good Pull.

KataraniSword posted:Noel's in a weird spot sort of like Wol is in that he doesn't really have any niche he excels in, because until we got New Skillsets, he had a bunch of poo poo at 4* that was basically just taking up space. (Now, he has 5* Sharpshooter, which is actually Really Solid, but he has to compete with the likes of Umaro/Laguna for those Icicle Shots.) His LMs are solid, so it's not like you'd be wasting motes, but check to make sure he has a spot on your ice teams before committing to it, I'd say. You know, I've never looked at Noel's dive before because other than his LMR all I have for him is some old garbage. Now that I have... holy poo poo that's a good dive. It's literally Orlandeau's dive, which is kind of insane actually. Pure +physical damage nodes that stack multiplicatively with everything are pretty spicy.

Huh, apparently the guaranteed quad 9 attacks on the octopath bosses weren't intentional. No definitive answer on if there'll be apology mythril, though. I killed them fast enough that it didn't affect me, so whatever. E:f;b

Got my first big win from RoP tonight: Irvine USB. I've got better SB options for fire sharpshooting, so Irvine himself probably still won't see use outside of in-realm content, but Cid XIV will greatly appreciate the 6* +fire gun.

BRA*BRA is a yearly? album release that SE puts out of new music arrangements from across the series. It's short for Brass de Bravo. I think FFRK has cross-promoted every release, though the first few crossovers came to global extremely late. I'm assuming you were going for a dumb Cloud in a dress joke here. If that's not what that was then I guess I'm a little lost.

MF_James posted:I've been running: Which Ellara RW are you using? The first thing that jumps out at me is that both guardian and raider are essentially redundant on your teams. Consider dropping Tyro for... anything else useful, really, and finding room for proshellga in your ability slots instead. Heck, for a few of the magicites you can get away with only one or the other.

One last thing I'll mention is that unless you're going for a specific strat that involves a lot of SB spam, two dedicated entrusters seems like a bit overkill for most situations. Once your DPSes get their relevant SBs up and running, they shouldn't need any extra gauge for sustain, and there comes a point where your healer/support is limited more by actions than by gauge.

That's fair, and you can definitely make multiple entrusters work. I'll admit I'm also slightly biased because the arbitrary limitations I set for myself actively prevent me from having multiple entrusters.

I've been looking forward to the water magicites. Quetz and BK were nonstarters for me, but my lightning teams are both pretty stacked, so I think I stand a decent chance of taking down at least one of these new assholes. First, though, I need to get off my butt and clear out some lower level torments so I can expand my ability selection.

I think sources of +black magic damage that don't specifically say "black magic abilities" work on everything that's coded as BLK, which magical darkness and witch abilities are. I won't 100% swear to it, though.
