Yeah. I'm sub-30ing Kraken now with King/Sora/Lightning pumping out the DPS, but my first clear was just "everyone gives the ball to Orlandeau." You have everything you need to recreate that: 1.) bilperkins2 posted:I'm having trouble with Kraken. I've sub-30'd Ixion and have a bunch of lv99 4* lightning magicite so I'm boosted as much as I'm gonna ever be and still can't crack it. OK: pUSB and Mako Might. Equip with wrath/entrust Shelke: wrath/entrust; battleforged TGC: lifesiphon and...who cares; he's going to be using his OSB over and over. I guess give him thundering quad in the other slot for turns where he isn't fully charged. Aphmau: curada and protect/shellga. whatever the other battleforged RM is called. Iris: ultracure and protect/shellga. TGC RM. OK uses his first 2 turns to drop USB and wall. Then he starts wrath/entrusting over to Orlandeau. Iris and Aphmau should be able to keep eveyrone topped off after the initial AoE thanks to iris' additional cast speed. Shelke: wrath/wrath-->entrust to Orlandeau Orlandeau: lifesiphon until OSB is ready. Preferably line it up after Aphmau does her USB to group heal since you will instacast. Primary magicite: whichever one punches holes in lit resistance. That'll get you a reliable 35-40 second clear. If you're so inclined, you could try swapping in Tyro for OK. Give him the insta-bar RM, carry fabula raider and have Iris cast it with her TGC RM. In this approach, you'll need to cast Orlandeau USB first to get the ATK+50 and 100% crit chance. It's possible this is faster, though it essentially wastes 1 soul break to get it up. On the other hand, you'll always do 99999 damage with the OSB since it'll always crit.

Combo posted:Took my first crack at 4* magicites and picked fire because I'm stacked on water damage. Drop Tyro and use fabula guardian. Give protectga and shellga to Elarra, since she’s just gonna be USBing it up. Add another DPS. Also dive Edge, but try the other stuff first.

Kheldarn posted:Is there any reason, as an essentially new player, that I shouldn't pull on the new Chain banner? You won’t need an ice chain as a new player for a while, and other than Squall BSB or USB (as a new player the BSB is better since it requires fewer resources, and it might still be better anyway) there’s nothing amazing on it. Plus a better version comes back in a couple months when you could use it more readily.

Elephant Ambush posted:So I'm building my first Siren team and need a little advice. Current theorycraft team: You only need 1 healer for siren, especially if you're doing a phys clear and don't need to waste turns ultra curing silence away. Cloud's gonna be useless(ish) for you since when he's not USBing he doesn't have a dark attack, unless you got his KH bsb. In which case he needs to be on your team. Orlandeau will do a shitload of damage with a cross skill of your choosing. e: wait, can cloud use darkness now? I don't remember that being a thing...

FFVII banner 1 has stuff like: Sephiroth USB (which seems to be as bullshit as Cloud) Vincent fire chain I think it has some other useful poo poo too.

MF_James posted:fully dive shadow asap imo, shadow/edge/yuffie are amazing dives because they get double cast ninja abilities I will disagree with this. Those three ninjas are great, but you likely don’t have the orbs to support all three elements of five star ninja. And there are enough ludicrous asskickers now that ninja magic doesn’t seem as unbalanced as it once did. You should dive the characters for whom you have great relics, and whose dives offer doublecast. (Or you have a legend materia relic that does the same.) bonus points if it’s bartz or someone else who can rep multiple elements. Meaning...what does your relic pool look like? 6* USBs and 5* LMRs only to make this less burdensome for you.

Fister Roboto posted:-Literally everything that's non-elemental because NE is trash. Major exceptions are Full Break and Powerchain. Raging Storm and Smoldering Fire ignore magic defense and require basically nothing to do 9999x2 damage, so you can stick them on Tyro if you need an extra bit of DPS in a fight. I would not have cleared Adamantoise without 2 r4 raging storms. Is it a good skill compared to chain tornado? Not really, but I didn’t have any wind magic relics where making another chain tornado would have been helpful. DeDia and Mark of Darkness are similarly useful: they’re not there for damage, but rather to help OTHERS do more damage. As such, you can throw DeDia on your healer to generate gauge since there are a TON of fights where carrying a single target heal is pretty pointless. And Mark of Darkness does hybrid damage so you can stick it on your dude carrying the wrong flavor of chain, or even someone like Riku or Orlandeau who do so much goddamned damage that they’ll cap with it anyway, giving up one extra hit in exchange for making the rest of the party better able to do damage, It’s rare (nonexistent, probably) that these skills are optimal. But this is a game where you rarely have optimal gear and have to work around your limitations. I’d much rather spend 1 mythril to expand my ability stash by 5 slots so I can keep these skills than spend 50 mythril chasing a relic that wouldn’t obsolete them in some circumstances. (I know you know all of this; I’m trying to keep a newer player from making what I think is an unnuccesesary shatter.)

Grizzled Patriarch posted:0 lucky draw gave me Rem's OSB. I already have 3 copies of her USB and have never found a good reason to use her, and this thing isn't even a good stat stick because it boosts mind. This game just does not want to give me anything for 0 except Rem and Ace stuff. Holy magic is keyed off of mind so it’s a good stat stick. Also it’s a plus holy dagger, which is helpful considering that you have her USB which is top tier holy magic and thus exceedingly rare. You are complaining about something many players would love to have.

Ayndin posted:I think I've narrowed down my USB pick to Larsa USB for instant Astra or Agrias USB2 for making her an imperil monster. Pretty much anything else I had interest in is available for lenses and/or doesn't really fill any niches. Bring Marche and dive him if you can. He’s still your best option and you will probably want to use him in the FFT Torment . Agrias can’t doublecast without her LMR and you will cap without imperils anyway. Edward should use the ATK song instead of affliction break, which doesn’t work well vs. Hades. E: Orlandeau is so strong that he will cap after using his USB even without Edward chain, so the chain is really only boosting Marche. Given that, I wonder if Agrias AND Marche (no Edward) might be better. That’s a bigger resource sink for you, though—both motes and abilities. Would certainly help in a d??? Torment, but it’s worth thinking about if the first setup goes poorly or slowly. FairGame fucked around with this message at 12:55 on Mar 9, 2019 |

The Zombie Guy posted:I've already got stellar healing, since I dropped the $5 to get Elarra's insta-heal book. You also don’t have to pick something right now. You might consider waiting until after fest to see what you end up with between RoP and then free pulls. You WILL need an in realm buffer and healer (and Elarra can’t do either of those) if you ever want to do a d??? Torment. That’s something to keep in mind.

GENUINE CAT HERDER posted:In spite of yesterday's trash LMR pull, I decided to pull on the AOSB pull today and definitely didn't regret it. 4 6* pulls for Vaan, Ashe, Pecil, and Luneth (dupe on his, though), which probably makes it the best pull I've had from the game yet in the <3 months I've been playing. They’re OSBs, not AOSB, unfortunately, and the problem with pulling that banner is precisely what your second paragraph is about. You’ll actually have 35, since today is a USB lucky and that’s absolutely worth it if you’re still early enough to be happy with OSBs. My advice: The banner with Bartz, Terra, and Cloud coming this week is ludicrously good, especially if you aren’t yet at the point of doing 4* or higher magicites. The banner with shitloads of chains is also ludicrously good, but with awakenings you don’t reslly need chains. They’re still extremely nice to have though. There’s a core banner with very good stuff (outside of the Tyro USB4/Elarra USB2 combo, none of it is offensively ridiculous, but it’s all quite good) that gives you three pulls for the price of two—but you have to pull twice to trigger the free third. Depending on how long it sticks around, this might be your best bang for the buck. Fest will give like 80 mythril over the next week so it’s not impossible. Basically, those should be your three targets, and you can only choose one of them. If you can post your elemental teams and your best healers/buffers, along with your magicite progress, I can give more precise advice.

staplegun posted:Is diving everyone just sort of expected for 5* magicites? I think that I have a good chance of being able to clear madeen but I haven't had a lot of success so far. I'm gun shy as hell when it comes to spending motes. You absolutely can clear Madeen with that setup. Do that a lot and have amazing decks for all the other 5s. E: Seymour BSB in place of onion is your best bet. Absolutely dive onion, who will feature in most of your magic parties. And if you get his pUSB he's actually not half bad at moving the chain with celerity. He'll nearly instacast. FairGame fucked around with this message at 20:18 on Mar 24, 2019 |
