Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

Guys don't worry about your 6* class skills they all kinda suck except for Snowstorm Strike and supposedly the thief one is good too if you don't have a good boostga and not enough synergy to hit ATK cap. Aegis Strike might be cool if you don't get  a good Knight BSB (Cecil/Beatrix/Agrias) but honestly it just takes up a skill slot that could be used for dispelling or support and meh. Not that bad if you're running dual knights.

On the other hand, all of them are basically free if you did the event, so hey whatever you want. Honestly once I decide which 2-3 (maybe 4? depends on orb distribution) 6* skills I'm investing in I'm just going to spend all my tokens making copies of the skill and busting them up for their constituent parts.

Honestly though except for Thief's actually (it is basically HotE PLUS a debuff, and that is pretty sick if I run Rikku or Yuffie in cids missions. Why am I just looking into this now? I should have been using this.) the two or three standout skills in the Nightmare dungeons overshadow the ones you'll all be getting in the next week. Meltdown is great if you have any mages in your A-team and apparently Northern Cross and a couple of the later ones are pretty good. I dunno, I need to research. I still haven't even bothered over there except to get the 6* orbs and Meltdown.

Sitting on 43 Mithril, and got about 5 more stages to go through.  Now I've been mulling over this question now:

Do I try to pull on Festival Banner 2 for Terra's Tiara, Cloud OSB 1 for Cloud OSB/Red SSB, or Ribbon 1 for Beatrix BSB/Freya SSB?

Or just save it all up for the future?

[Scar]

I would like a bsb...so I'm pulling on banner 2 and 3 or 4. Still undecided...

[Shale]

Phase 2! I'm holding on to my mythril for round 3, but what the heck, I'll try a 100 gem pull....

*Iga Blade*

OKAY THEN.

Not going to save for Kain's BSB in November?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

One 11-pull this time! Got meself Super Selphie Sticks and another Excalibur. That's definitely good enough.

[Meeplelard]

11 pull on this banner, Keeper's Tome and Seraphim Mace.

Curaga + Hastega doesn't hurt, and I need FF4 Synergy, so that doesn't hurt, and Keeper's Tome is a Burst, for all that I have SG, but I guess it means I can use some flexibility.

Oh snap. That's coming in November?

Ok. I might start hoarding.

punish the wicked
also gotta pick between Squall's jacket and Seph's coat on Tyro's choice now, I never thought it would come to this

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

You have his OSB. Jacket.

[Magic Fanatic]

Realm Status: Currently Complete
Event Status: Currently Complete
Mithril Stash: ...56.

I'm not going to be pulling on anything for a while, am I?

[Nitori]

You have his OSB. Jacket.

Also got Seph's OSB, which is dark/fire, so the coat would help.
Although I already have the gloves, so maybe that's overkill.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

The glove SB provides more overall damage outside of weakness exploitability, at which point you're just well into complete overkill. Ice is a more commonly exploitable weakness anyway.

[Cmdr_King]

Magus Trio CM down.

Auron (Banishing Blade) Flashing Blade/Demon's Blood
Lulu (Focus)  Chain Blizzaga/Meteor
Tidus (Abe's All-Star) Powerchain/Full Charge
Rikku (n/a) Multibreak/Thief's Revenge
Braska (n/a)  Protectga/Curaja
RW: Shout

Had a reset due to killing off the others with MT before Cindy went down, then another one that I might've mistimed regardless but definitely not helped because I didn't manually target one of Lulu's chain blizzagas and it took out Mindy instead of putting Cindy in the kill zone.  Having someone else in for Lulu might've been an improvement for damage but she was really there for the Res bonus on Focus anyways.

Yeah you're proooobably not supposed to be able to shotgun them but eh.

[Magic Fanatic]

Fragment Magus Trio CM mastered here as well, with 0 medal loss.

Braska L79 - Valefor R4/Thundaja R4 - Wing and Flame - Devotion
Lulu L66 - Ruinga R4/Sleep R5 - Healing Magic - Mako Might (Should've switched out Ruinga for Blizzaja or something for the end there, but oh well now)
Yuna L75 - Curaja R5/Alexander R4 - Hymn of the Fayth - Knight's Charge (Never used her SB, and only went through about 4 shots of Curaja)
Wakka L78 - Entrust R3/Sleep Buster R5 - Attack Reels - Ace Striker (Instead of using his SB on Attack Reels, I instead...  Entrusted his meter to Lulu and Braska.  Hey, did you know that Entrust counts as a move that generates meter AFTER you transfer the user's meter over?)
Rikku L66 - Multi Break R2/Poison Shell R4 - Hazardous Shell - Way of the Fist (There for Multi Break, managed to poison Cindy, and then was basically useless for the rest of the fight.)
RW: Keeper's Tome

Guess my strategy.  Go ahead, guess.

[Meeplelard]

CM Magus Trio beaten myself.

Guess I'll post my team:

Tidus: R4 Venom Buster, R5 Tempo Flurry, Dragoon's Determination, Slice and Dice Soul Break
Auron: R5 Lifesiphon, R3 Mirror of Equity, Heroic Stance, Banishing Blade SSB
Yuna: R2 Protectga, R5 Curaja, Mako's Might, Hymn of the Fayth SB
Lulu: R5 Firaja, R1 Meltdown, Devotion, Focus SB, is using Fire Armlet to boost damage further
Rikku: R4 Heathen Frolic Samba, R2 Multibreak, Dr Mog's Teachings, had a shared Veil of Annulment Soul Break
SG for RW

Tidus was covering Status, Auron was DPS, Rikki...I think I gave her the wrong Magic Down dance, but didn't seem to be that big a deal, but her role is obvious, and she covered Shellga with the Soul Break, Yuna Heals, and Lulu blasts with the occassional added Magic Mitigation layer via Focus. Meltdown was doing 16k~ off her.

I originally tried Mage Meta, using Kimhari to apply Sleep since he has Black 3, but didn't have the resources or damage to pull it off, considering I had only 2 PCs capable of doing actual damage (Braska and Lulu.)  This would be trivial once Seymour drops.

[Shale]

I just realized that I'm one Beatrix BSB away from being able to field a competent team of nothing but knights (if you count Ramza), at least when the fight is mainly physical.

Beatrix: Paladin #1 and primary tank with her Sentinel burst.
Agrias: Paladin #2 and/or spellblade specialist, brings Cleansing Strike.
Ramza: Breakdown monkey with burst for Banishing Strike substitute and DEF boosting
Basch: Apocalypse Shield for boostga and even more DEF boosting
Leon: Darkborn Blade makes him tank #2, brings Dark Bargain since I can stand to lose the DEF on this team.

Bring a Divine Guardian/MG8 RW, or Sync if I really need the medica instead of high regen, and my only problem would be running out of Platinum Shields. I only have three!

such ends my jp anniversary, at least that's a weaker realm for me

To boot, if you happen to land Beatrix's BSB, you could use her as a backup healer with Lightbringer and a proper RM. Also, that's -so much- holy damage to apply with Imperil.

[Shale]

Well, I'll have mythril to chase it. 11-pull on Banner 3 got me Apocalypse, Physician's Staff, Crystal Cross and Fire Lash so I'm good not chasing any of the bursts.

Edit: and CM mastered in the FFX event. Couldn't have done it without Mighty Guard X, because Mana Breath SUCKS.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Speaking of pulls: banner 3 is the last of the festival banners to truly excite me (I do want Lightbringer, but Eiko's burst event is just around the corner and it has that as well along with great overall options and banner 5 is just a bust). So sure, three pulls.

100-gem nets me Minwu's Healing Staff! Nice. First pull gets me Crystal Cross x2 and Air Knives. Also good. Pull two, second Healing Staff. Less good. Final pull... third Healing Staff and Artemis' Bow. I got -literally- everything I actually wanted from this banner.

[Magic Fanatic]

At this point, I just have to wonder how much Mythril Jo'ou has.  That is an insane amount of pulls.

[Cotigo]

Trying to decide what 6* skills to use, so for Futref:
 
Abyss/Nightmare 6* abilities and upmats

Ultima, Black/Non/Fire
Meltdown, Black/Fire/Earth
Curajaja, White/Earth/Holy
Reraise, White/Wind/Holy
Bahamut Neo, Summon/Non/Black
Viligarmandia, Summon/Ice/Thunder
Crushdown, Power/Fire/Earth
Omegadrive, Power/Fire/Dark
Penalty 4, Power/Non/Thunder
Penalty Break, Power/Non/Dark
N. Cross, Power/Ice/Wind
Speedster, Power/Thunder/Wind

Class Record Dive 6*s and consitutent upmats
Snowstorm Strike, Power/Ice/Wind
Aegis Strike, Ice/Earth/Holy
Allegro Con Moto, White/Earth/Holy
Penalty Snipe, Ice/Thunder/Dark
Sky High, Thunder/Earth/Wind
Thief, Fire/Wind/Dark
Samurai, Non/Ice/Dark
Ninja, Ice/Wind/Dark
Monk, Fire/Thunder/Earth

So, thinking Meltdown, Mug whatever, Viligarmanda, Speedster, and Penalty Break. There have been a few bosses recently with obnoxious status, so lowering the infliction rate is looking more and more appealing. But in any case, this gives me a pretty well rounded resource spread. That said, Holy and White crystals are entirely unused, and it looks like I'll have a bunch of earth orbs leftover too. I suppose I could hone Allegro Con Moto, too.

Dude, I have a credit card and I got a promotion. I'll live.

[Cotigo]

Went ahead and honed Speedster and Allegro Con Moto to R2, and cashed in the skills I know I'll never use (Monk, Ninja, etc). Crafted Penalty Break and Viligarmandia, but kept them at R1.

Wind Orbs are kinda stretched thin (I can get Steal Motivation to R2 but then I'm done. I also realized I probably will want to keep Aegis Strike and Blizzard Strike as options, but holding off until I get enough Black Crystals to hone Meltdown to R2. Then I can spend my Earth orbs on something else.

Bribe fars, kill cars mode until the Summon Orb phase is over, then I'll knock out the Nightmare dungeons and the remaining festival stuff.
