250 Mithril

hello garnet my old friend

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #2076 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:54:25 AM »

[21:47] <MagicFanatic> 100 Gem pull and 1x11-pull after a 16-hour shift today. 100 Gem got rekt, got Sentinel's Grimoire and Hammer of Thor off the 50 Mithril.
[21:48] <MagicFanatic> I'm not sure how to feel about the Grimoire, considering my Thyrus++.

Saving the rest of my Mithril for the FFT banner, because Ice Cream.

25 mythril, got nothing.

100 Gems mk. 5- Reckt.

Cleared out X-2 event. Remember how I have Sephiroth's Shadow Flare and Rinoa's Angel Wing Quake? Yeaaaah. Did need a few resets unlike the last one, first time took me a minute to work out the exact mechanics behind Counter-Draw Fire, second time Tyro bit it at a weird moment. Took Gilgamesh as the last PC after Seph/Sazh/Rinoa/Tyro, which was dumb in retrospect because y'know Hand of the Emperor is pretty good and Leon could have carried the exact same set I had on Gil, but on the other hand he dropped his RM3 and I still mastered so whatevs.

Orbfest was awesome. Made one of literally every skill in the game (sans Ultima since no way to farm Crystals yet) just for collection's sake. Hey, the game IS called "Record Keeper", after all.

...So glad the game is handing out free 5* skills for a while.

Was looking forward to Phase 5 because it gave me a chance to pick up hastega or (RNGesus willing) wall relics. In three pulls, I got:

2X Genji Blade
2X Cardinal
Ultima Sword
Wutai Headband
Peacemaker
And an off-banner Cat Claws from FF9.

Y'know what, I think I'll take my ridiculous array of damage SBs, and my party-composition-expanding Medica, and be satisfied. Holding on to 147 Mythril for FFT, which will hopefully grow to 200+ with core dungeon blitzing over the next week and a half.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #2081 on:** April 03, 2016, 01:21:21 PM »

Also beat the 10-2 quest. Might as well post my set up from memory:

Auron: Riot Blade, Fire Armlet (X), Vossler's Gaunlets, R3 Fire Blossom, R4 Lifesiphon, Dragoon's Determination
Lifesiphon to build up gauge, Fireblossom for instant AoE, he uses Dragon Fang if Leblanc is still alive, Banishing Blade otherwise.

Tyro: Lightning Steel*, Edin's Coat, FF10 +20 Atk Accessory, R3 Blind Shell, R3 Banishing Strike, Mako's Might
It's Tyro; has Wall, can fill any niche needed outside of damage. Exists for Dispel and Blind here.

*...should have given him Rikku's claw on hindsight, since I think that's stronger, oh well

Terra: Maduin's Horn, Lulu's Hairpin, Terra's Pendant, R2 Meteor, R4 Ruinga, Devotion
AoE Nukes. Open with Meteor, continue with Ruinga, ignores Draw Attacks entirely, saves Magitek Missile for Ormi when he's solo for quick ST nukes

Rinoa: Lullaby Rod, Minerva Bustier, Silver Wing (or whatever the FF9 +30 Mag accessory is called), R3 Quake, R2 Bahamut, Ace Striker
Also exists for AoE nukes, with Bahamut being a quick 55k~ net damage over 2 turns. More to the point, she exists to use Angel Wing Quake and hit everyone with slow. On hindsight, probably should have given her Dr. Mog's Teachings but whatever. Winning run, she ended up dying from No Lost Love + Logos combo, but had already used Angel Wing Quake, so I just went with it, as she was already out of her good stuff, and had played her part.

Yuna: Wizard Rod (VII), Priest's Miter, some Mind accessory, Curaja, Protectga, Dr. Mog's Teachings
Healer; went with Protectga since the physical damage was clearly the bigger deal here, with 2 characters who have physicals, and one who has magic, and the one with magic spends a lot of time buffing and was the one who was going to die first to boot.

RW: Fenrir Overdrive. Nothing big came up, didn't care to reset, figured this would be good for Auron at least...and it was. In fact, Riot Blade seems to add Blind naturally (too lazy to look it up), so sometimes Whirlwind Slash would cover that!

Winning Run ended with only 2 medals lost on damage, meaning I could have in theory lost 2 characters and still mastered it. I had a scare moment when Ormi near the end did MT 3k to everyone, though no one died, and quickly got everything back together. Hymn of the Fayth > stuff.

Phase 5 SSB bros!

Shale · « **Reply #2083 on:** April 03, 2016, 03:45:23 PM »

I blew some Google Play credit on a 3X pull because shiny, and got a third Cardinal. Okay, game, hint taken.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2084 on:** April 04, 2016, 04:58:30 AM »

aw fuck i have to beat ifrit in like 2 hours I thought the deadline was a couple days from now.

Gonna try out Jecht/Beatrix/Bartz/Tyro/Aeris, putting Dr. Mog and Mako Might on Beatrix/Tyro. Beatrix's BSSB adds Weak: Holy and lets her use Taunt/Magic Lure and boost her DEF quite a bit and RES not as much but still. That'll give me more damage with her at least. Delita may sub in for Bartz if I have enough Grow eggs to get both B and D to 80 since his SB lowers defenses and TBH Bartz's BSSB isn't actually contributing much damage in the fight.

From a couple previous tries Jecht's ability to pierce defences is clutch so he's kinda in there regardless.

EDIT: lol ok actually Beatrix's BSSB may have won me this thing. Haven't won yet, but I was able to get him down to ~1/2 HP before my first scream wore off, and unlike previous attempts all of my characters are actually pumping out respectable damage. I'm kinda gonna have to get lucky with the timing on his Meteos though, and play around with who I bring for mitigation. As cool as Jecht's consistent damage is if I straight up can't surivive a single Meteo I'm gonna have to bring Ramza back in.

EDIT2: Sigh, nope. My initial strategy worked really well, Beatrix is now basically an ultratank who always can hit weakness after using her BSSB, but magic lure is useless against MT, and once I got to his weak phase he just started spamming Meteo. Once to get rid of Magic Blink, Once to kill everyone, once to kill everyone after they re-raise. hmmtoobadigoteverythingbutscreamonthatbannerhmmmmhmmhmmm.

I haven't quite given up, and my current SL has a shot of winning, but honestly I don't see it happening again. Oh well, there's a chance it'll come back the next time they issue the next 4* fragment dungeon, and even if it doesn't, oh well. I'm pretty sure I could have beaten it considering I'm running 3 BSSBs and have a few SSBs I haven't even really toyed with yet, but meh.

In other news, in an attempt to gamble for Selphie's Magic Blink + Medicaga, did a 3 pull on the Healer Banner. I got Penelo's SSB (Holy Damage + Medicaga), which is actually pretty freaking sweet paired with Beatrix's BSSB, but not using it at the moment for this battle since that Reraise safety net is too important.

I'm tempted to pull on the FF5 banner, but this Ifrit fight and the fact that I have lots of new shinies after the BSSB fest means I should probably just slow my roll and hoard for my next chance at Scream in a few months.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2085 on:** April 04, 2016, 01:00:51 PM »

Dungeon Update 20: in which Lightning and Gilgamesh tear boss lifebars apart. Cleared all the classic Dungeons so far. Dropping Crushing Blows on FF5 Leviathan is a thing of beauty.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2086 on:** April 04, 2016, 03:25:23 PM »

Couldn't help myself, did a 3 pull on the FF5 banner, mostly hoping to get Krile's Hastega/Faithga whip. Got Exdeath's SSB armor instead. Neat! I recognize that as of this BSSB fest SSBs are the new SBs, but the number of SSBs I have now is ridiculous. I'll have to do some ~~e-peen comparison~~ inventorying soon to get rid of redundant weapons.

I may do another 3 pull on the FF5 banner once that mythril rolls in as I clearly do not have enough shiny toys. Although, I think the Faithga on Krile's whip is the same as Mana's Praen, so I will probably doublecheck that, and if it's higher or if it stacks I'll pull again, and if not I'll just let it go. Do I even have any black mage SBs other than Exdeath's that would synergize with that? Meh.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2087 on:** April 04, 2016, 03:50:10 PM »

Krile's MAG Up is +30% - i.e. equal to Edward's Hastemarch and double Mana's Paean's boost. Doesn't stack with anything besides Lulu's Focus, but it's the highest MT MAG buff available.

Cotigo · « **Reply #2088 on:** April 04, 2016, 07:41:12 PM »

OK, so equal to Faith, right? That's worth trying for, then. That alone would make Summoners/Black mages viable for me again, even though my S/SBs for them are comparatively non-existent.

Shale · « **Reply #2089 on:** April 04, 2016, 08:21:17 PM »

Holy jeez, I knew actual damage SBs would help, but I didn't realize how much. Just smoked the X-2 +++ battle thanks in large part to Crushing Blow with attack bonuses being goddamned bonkers. Gearing up to fight the Ultimate later today. Here's hoping!

Cotigo · « **Reply #2090 on:** April 04, 2016, 08:28:04 PM »

You should be able to do it, I beat that fight with only Aeris and Mog SBs and using come at me bro + ... I don't actually remember, point is I was a peasant. You have Mog's Boostga, actual SBs, and Rinoa's SSB. Solidly middle class. u ken do it

Faith is +20%, a 38~% damage increase. MAG +30% would equal roughly 50% more damage from magic, more or less.

You definitely have the offense for it, between Auron's Shimmering Blade, Gilgamesh's Faithful Companion and whatever else you can muster for Lightning. The puzzle parts of the fight may prove slightly more problematic, but I'd definitely try it out, it's a fun Ultimate.

EDIT: Only one DU dungeon left: Kefka's Tower Part 2. That's waiting until tomorrow, though, I'm saving the stamina for the FFT event. Can't believe it's landing tonight, feels like I was going nuts over Stone Throw and Hallowed Bolt just yesterday.

SSB spamming remains completely obscene, I've been running Mighty Guard/Crushing Blow/Faithful Companion and turning 140 Difficulty bosses into mulch. This be the power creep. Mighty Guard in particular's so stupid that it makes Quistis a cornerstone PC in spite of L65 and no 5* skillsets to sport. I definitely know who's getting my first Record Dive fragments when they come up.

Shale · « **Reply #2092 on:** April 05, 2016, 01:45:13 AM »

Success! Cloud/Gilgamesh/Lightning/Mog/Lenna, with Quistis' Mighty Guard as the RW. Took a lot of S/L to get Leblanc to go down without crippling my party first, but after I managed that the other two easily. SSB spam is useful.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2093 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:17:35 AM »

Welp, four 11-pulls on FFT banner, only one 5* to my name.

... it's the Platinum Sword.

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #2094 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:26:07 AM »

One 11-pull on the FFT Banner.

Got a Chameleon Robe and the Platinum Sword.

WELP.

Nitori · « **Reply #2095 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:30:21 AM »

Garnet/Terra/Sephiroth/Edgar/Penelo kills Leblanc Syndicate, Blind Shell/Banishing Strike Edgar MVP

FFT banner: Diamond Armor (IV), Al Bhed Jumper, Grand Armor (100 myth)

how many offbanners can I pull

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #2096 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:34:06 AM »

Isn't Grand Armor the Ramza Heavy Armor and one of the best healing SBs in the game, though?

Shale · « **Reply #2097 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:34:48 AM »

Two FFT pulls, got Chameleon Robe and two off-banner no-SB armors. Now to grind for more mythril.

Captain K · « **Reply #2098 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:34:54 AM »

Was rushing the dungeon update to try more banner 5 pulls before reset but still didn't get anything. Up to 159 stamina though!

Nitori · « **Reply #2099 on:** April 05, 2016, 02:40:43 AM »

well yes, that is fantastic

i guess he can fight red xiii for support slot (and win most of the time)
