With a legend dived cloud with LMR does that give his bsb2 burst commands a chance to triple cast?

Well, I had very little to do at work yesterday so I managed to clear a bunch of content, which always makes me feel better about this game. Something about all the gimmick fights that come along with a fest that really drags this game down and makes it feel like a chore

I kinda like the nutorments, it's kinda refreshing to return to realm focus after nothing but elemental stuff for ages, even though I've only cleared 2 of the 4* magicites so far

I'm ready for more torment!



FF5 is a pretty weak realm for me, so I doubt I'll get much headway into DWhale. I do still have some decent if dated stuff. Galuf's SSB (enfire, party crit=50% and hi regen) is good, Sheepsong on Krile, and of course Greg's CSB. The only worthwhile SB I have for Butz is his OSB, but I gave him a dive anyway.

And yes, that is a rod Gilgamesh has equipped. It has +fire, and with Hailstorm and his CSB and the magicite bonus he can still hit the soft cap.

I thought element chains were useless in the new torments cuz of the realm chain??

Nice, drat nice. Would have liked one of the Bartz 6*s but having gotten the other two in two pulls can't really complain (already have Bartz USB1 anyway).

Have chains for every element but holy and dark now :getin:

Finally figured out how to fit Greg chain into an Isgebind team, my other magicite teams usually feature dual entrust bots feeding Aphmau but went double healer for this one



Refia: BSB
Bartz: USB1
Greg: CSB
Aphmau: USB
Arc: SSB (pblink)

Magicites: Unicorn; Maliris, King Bomb, Mom Bomb, Salamander

This is usually a 35-45s clear depending on Bartz double cast rng. Tried swapping king bomb for unicorn as my main magicite and got a 31s clear but survivability is real dicey and the whole run is rng dependant on the wrong character getting hit with paralyse at the wrong time.

Wish I had a USB or something for Refia or that her legend dive wasn't so meh, or even a +fire weapon for Greg, but its fun to farm magicites again. Isgebind had been a brick wall for me for some time

Try using Mom Bomb instead of King Bomb for your main magicite. King Bomb only gives you +10% fire damage for 15s, while a layer of imperil takes you from 150% to 170% (or +13.3% damage) for 25s. That could easily push you under 30s.

🤔

You were right!

Hmmm, something to think about. in other news since I've finished farming Isgebind looking to put together a taimat team. Is taimat mostly physical or magic? What resist accessories? Heard last stand is really good for this fight but I don't have any instant cast source of it so I was gonna double up on healers again and so something like this :

Squall: BSB2, enIce LMR, LD
Snow: CSB, BSB
Ramza/OK: Shout, LMR/ pUSB (no LMR :() - entrust bot
Aphmau: USB
Lenna: USB

but dunno if there's enough dps in this team, also fairly soul gauge heavy. Looking for at least a ~35s clear or less, any more than that and its too unpredictable/waste of time. Laguna CSB would solve all my problems, whens the next chance at that?

Mixed offense, it mainly spams an aoe wind magic move & and an aoe physical fire move - you'll want wind resist on accessories & some dampen fire on your magicide. Tiamat will also randomly debuff one of your characters, if Squall gets hit with the first atk debuff might as well just restart. Same if it silences your healer - yea it can randomly decide to do that, too. :argh:

What eventually worked for me was running two entrusters instead of two healers - might give a light entrust to Snow to get his chain going, after that you'll be double entrusting your healer to just spam their medica each turn. Squall would ideally start with snowspell strikes until he can bsb and should be self sufficient.

good stuff thanks

Fister Roboto posted:

Check my post history for the advice I gave a few days ago. You've got Aphmau USB, Squall BSB, and an ice chain so you can easily sub 30. Also don't bring Shout or any other buff that's just +ATK because Absorb Strength will overwrite it.

Yeah, just had the thought of bringing Tyro (with wall and LMR) as my entruster and RWing Fabula raider instead of the wall

I would consider spending 500 gems on a banner like this except there's actually nothing from the bsb selection that I want. What I really need from a curated selection like this is some physical +ice weapons, of which there are none :(

Kain's LM2 does have one particular use which doesn't apply to this situation: If you have his chain, the 22 hits on entry count as jump attacks which gives him +44% ATK on top of the field +20% damage and +22% damage from the chain count. Makes him usable if the rest of the team is mage-focused.

Ive got kains chain and fully dived and can confirm it is good

the other thing about the new torments is they don't go away so there's no urgency. The rewards are good, but as it is im already sitting on massive stacks of 5* motes and don't have any immediate need to dive anyone atm

Managed it first time without diving Tifa. Still might dive her anyway for a more reliable clear. Are we getting a better earth monk skill then meteor crush anytime soon or am I better off making a second copy of gaia rush for now?

Right now, if you can get the rubies from the Torments (the lower levels, at least), you can buy Ironfist Earth; it's a 5-hit Monk skill that ramps up the damage over uses of the ability (starting at 0.80x potency per hit and ending up at 0.94x potency per hit). Further on (like... 3-5 months?) there'll be an Earth clone of Fires Within.



Hmmm, don't think I need any of that. Didn't change the team at all, just got more familiar with the fight (and decent rng for Bartz double/triple casts) 😁
