1 x 11: Bartz GSB

I feel like I've gotten 1 rainbow/11 for my last 7 pulls :(

Is Bartz worth a dive with GSB only? Maybe I will wait until I get enough mythril for 1 more pull.

A JP player gave his thoughts on the best choices for the upcoming USB Selection:

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/114492-final-fantasy-record-keeper/76876069/906396430

I'd like Bartz USB1 since I have some of his stuff, but Palom USB is really tempting.

Looks like the banner order is changing:

Global: Earth, Fire/Wind, Ice/Water, Holy/Dark, Lightning

instead of

JP: Lightning, Ice/Water, Earth, Fire/Wind, Holy/Dark

Some of the banners have been changed, like banner 3 which gets Tidus ASB instead of Bartz ASB.

I've been drinking tonight so I accidentally did a 50 mithril pull on FFV while meaning to pull on FFVI. But I got:
Bartz AOSB, Bartz Water BSB, Gilgamesh BSB (dupe) and Gogo BSB.

Any ideas on my Full Throttle selection? I'm stuck between getting Bartz OSB and Squall OSB. My Bartz has BSB1, fire BSB, water BSB, GSB and AOSB, while Squall has SSB, BSB2, LMR and USB2, plus I have Laguna with his imperil ice USB. Maybe I should wait to see if I pull Bartz AASB in March...

Can anyone help me beat Famfrit? I can get him down to 90-95% by around 30 seconds but the damage, silence and protect in phase 3 is too much for me. This is my party:

King: USB, Spark Offering R4, Tempest Snipe R5, LM1 and LM2 LM1 and LM2 (I have LMR too)
Elarra: USB, Enfeebling Dance R2, Curada R4, TGS
Kain: USB2/OSB, Cyclone Bolt R3, Lightning Dive R3, LM1 and LM2 (I have LMR too)
Aerith: USB2, Hastega R3, Ultra Cure R3, MM
Shantotto: CSB, Chain Thundaja, Lunatic Thunder, DMT

Magicites: BK, BK, Hydra, Evrae, Evrae
RW: Fabula Guardian

I've also had trouble dealing with his Savage Briny -> Water Gun because Briny usually triggers LS.

Are there any adjustments I could make? I feel like Shantotto could get dropped because she does not contribute much besides the chain + raising the hit counter. I get so close every time but either run out of steam or get overwhelmed by the damage in Phase 3. I wish I had a lightning ASB to skip most of Phase 3...

I also have:

OK with pUSB/LMR
Aranea with USB/LMR
Orlandeau with USB/OSB/LMR
Bartz with Glint and various SBs

If not I'll just wait until AASBs come out so I can easily beat this.

Do you really need both healers? I run Famfrit with just Aerith and OK entrusting her. Famfrit has a ton of dead turns (gravity, buffs, etc.) that you can exploit with last stand, because of that I also run Hades instead of Evrae since I'm at 1% HP most of the time.



I initially tried OK instead of a 2nd healer and had pretty good luck, but was having trouble balancing making sure Aerith had enough meter and being able to refresh OK's pUSB by 30 seconds. Maybe I'll put hastega on Aerith instead of dispel. Did you bother with dispel on Aerith? And does Flash Disaster generate SB fast enough to make it worth using over Wrath?

Can you post your abilities/LMRs for that party? I'm going to give it another shot with OK.

If you don't have defensive passives like Health Boon, Spell Ward, and Blade Ward inherited onto your magicite, those can help with survival as well.

I've never bothered with defensive passives but this sounds like it could help a lot. Thanks!

To avoid a lot of typing, I'll just point you to my setup on Reddit. I actually just did a couple Famfrit runs last night and had to refer back to it to remember who did what and everything still worked.

For your specific questions, Aerith using Valigarmanda helps a lot with the meter build, it's chip damage, but 6*s hitting witness gives a lot of SB. Also, when developing the run, I basically needed the AI open in front of me to see what turns were safe and which needed the last stand. I did give her dispel, probably couldn't sub30 without it, but I think I could still win.

I was too cheap to make flash disaster or dive OK since I didn't need them, but my understanding is that flash disaster will outperform wrath while also doing damage, plus OK has a dual cast celerity LM. So unless you need very specific thresholds or are low on crystals, flash disaster wins.

I was able to pull it off with this party in 37:26:



Thanks for the advice! Replacing Aerith's Curada with dispel was key, along with switching Kain from position 3 to 2. This let him survive the first Savage Briny in phase 3 and get off another USB. Also reading his turn order makes the fight much more relaxed.

Is godwall that useful without LMR? Seems like limiting yourself to 3 dps slots would lower your chances of sub 30ing 5* magicite. I've beaten 5 of the 5*'s with Fabula Guardian and Shell (although I haven't tried Mateus or Syldra yet), 3 of them sub 30s.
