Can you dualcast any spells the character knows, or do they need to be red?

I think it's literally all spells the character has access to, like you can doublecast Syldra if you have !Summon equipped

I started my run toward the beginning of the Fiesta but I forgot about it. Whoops! Gonna try to rush through this before the end of the month. First job was White Mage. I am glad I found that flail, slowly pinging things was not fun! Just got my second job and it's Berserker.

This is my first time through FF5 but I think this should be workable. Are there any jobs out of the next crystal that I should look to immediately replace if I roll those in combination with WMage/Zerk?

White Mage and Zerker is a really good combo actually so you're off to a good start! Ranger is crazy good if you grind it out so you're overall in a really good position for a first time.

I suggest looking at http://enkibot.herokuapp.com/ for advice, it's great for not missing essential things for a specific party.

The most important thing is to get deathsickles though because they are rad.

time.

I decided last year that I wanted to try out all of the regular jobs in a single summer, and so I did it over the course of five runs. It was a blast, and now I want to encourage you to do the same thing. For everyone who uses all twenty regular jobs (i.e., those you have access to before world 3), I'll donate $20 and match your job fair expenses up to the total price of one of each job. Any kind of run is fine except for #fifthjob or some other mode that has you using more than four jobs in a single playthrough.

I hereby pledge to donate $2 on behalf of any player that complete a run with any duplicate jobs in any mode where it can happen (EXCEPT UPGRADE, I'm looking for honest luck-of-the-draw duplicates, though I'll also accept runs with dupes through the Job Fair), with a cap of $50. However, I'll add an extra $10 outside of the cap if any player completes a run with four of the same job (again, no Upgrade). I'd like to go with more, but sadly bills are kind of tight lately. But like Admiral Joeslop on his pledge, I may be willing to bump this number up if my finances improve before the last day of donations. Double up, people!

Yeah, Zerker likes any magic ability since it boosts stuff like the Gaia Hammer. White is especially handy since it also lets you use them as an out of combat healbot and conserve resources.

Final Fantasy 5 Four Job Fiesta 2019, Run 8, Chaos: Blue Mage / Mystic Knight / Time Mage / Beastmaster









This run started off with a good omen: I was actually assigned Time Mage (without having to Job Fair for it) for the first time in SIX YEARS that I've been doing the Fiesta. It took 45 drat runs to actually be given Time Magic instead of asking for it specifically, but it finally happened. Ironically I had to JF the other three classes away (originally assigned Zerk/Chemist/Dancer in those slots). So it goes!

This was another team I had some fun with, very solid all around and I can't recall a single boss giving me much difficulty. This group had a solution for pretty much everything.

Anyway, that's all I'm down for this year, actually one better than my usual total of 7. I mostly did this one to get this:



Run 1 (Advance Zerk Risk): White Mage, Zerk, and Samurai
Run 2 (Chaos): Thief and Chemist
Run 3 (Pure Chaos): Knight, Red Mage, and Dragoon
Run 4 (Random Fifth Job): Ineligible due to Fifth Job
Run 5 (Chaos): Bard, Ninja, and Black Mage
Run 6 (Random): Monk, Summoner, Dancer, and Geomancer (donated $8 to get the first three)
Run 7 (Popular): Ranger (donated $5)
Run 8 (Chaos): Blue Mage, Mystic Knight, Time Mage, Beastmaster (donated $10 to get all but Time Mage)

All 20 regular jobs, $23 in total donated for Fairs. Fun times! And with that, I'm out for the season. See y'all next year!

TWO RAGNAROKS

So I'm ing a $5 donation (up to $50) for the first ten people who finish their fiesta with two fuckin' Ragnaroks. Get the first from Shinryu, get the second from stealing it from Neo-Exdeath, and then take a picture during the NED fight of either both equipped or both in your item list to count.

Rolled my final class, final party is White Mage/Beserker/Ranger/Chemist all the reading makes it seem like this wont be so bad. Onwards!

Done! My total job fair cost was $27 ($3 Red/Mon for #4, $9 Mys/Sam for #5, $10 Thf/Dan/Brd/Tim for #6, and $5 Chm for #7).



I also hit Mime and Freelancer, with a detour for Quadzerking; I used RNG to select which job I was switching out for repeats. The worst run was Kni/Ran/Nin/Geo, because there was no synergy and taking the Brave Blade meant I missed some of the most useful abilities. The other runs were all pretty fun, with Brd/Sam/Drg/Chm making for the most hilarious NED. I also got three triple crowns (one of which I screwed up submitting the victory, whoops) and one double crown on quadzerk. It was great and I'm happy to stop playing for a while!

Wow. I did some light reading around chemist but didn’t realize how insane it could be. Yeah seems like I really lucked out for my first playthrough. Thanks for the advice! I’ll keep an eye out for those items.

Feed Omega some soup before you start kissing him.

E: Also lightning scrolls exist.

Overlord K posted:

Do scrolls actually pierce his defense enough to be worth going back to stock up on? I admit I figured they'd be super negligible against him even if he is weak to lightning.

Elemental weaknesses ignore defenses entirely.

Isn't Omega's innate Shell permanent? I tried using Ramuh before and after using Dispel on Omega and both have identical damage output.

If you're going to do this, I suggest that you plan ahead a bit. This is going to take at least five runs, and you don't want the last one to be something like Monk/Berserker/Geomancer/Dragoon.

Edit: Since it's come up a couple times, I want to add that there's no requirement to do this in only five runs. I just did that because I didn't want to play more than I did.
