Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

[Shale]

Sephiroth mastered! Went with a Raijin-centric party that used Raines for DPS and slow-walked all the transitions so I'd have Tyro, Y'shtola and OK ready to instantly re-buff on the frame after Dispel of Despair was finished. It took a bunch of S/L before I had the timing exactly right, but once I did, it was as good as over. Aura is REALLY fuckin' good.

[Meeplelard]

It's sadly not even among the lowest echelon of implementations of the mechanic if only because the game has so much more in the way of safety nets than it did back when it was common. I still remember Ultimate Barthandelus and his Ultimate Dispel COUNTER.

Remains to date one of the worst designed Ultimate fights.

Indeed.

I threw so much mythril, and like 18k gems Banner 4, and I FINALLY got Apocalypse.  Yes, I am kind of annoyed I had to resort to whaling (though I would have given up after the last pull regardless; I have my limits), but at least I got what I wanted.

I think what gets me is a lot of the DL had no problems getting Apocalypse, yet I wanted it the most


That said, because of this whaling, I think I'm going to hold off on the 100 gem Pulls for a long while now.  I have to cut back on something, and while this won't be a lot, it should alleviate it for a while.  I'll spend what gems I have left currently, but then no more buying Gems at least for a long time.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Recent achievements: maxing Raines, Squall and Golbez, obtaining their respective RM3s. Also levelled Reks to L80 and got his RM2 a little bit after getting Noctis' RM2. Currently levelling him, Balthier, Steiner and Raijin to L99 because why not. My next MC3 is likely going to Relm because lelburst, though I might reconsider and slap it on someone like Nabaat (Wrathable stackable debuff from a mage, I seriously lack truly good stacking MAG debuffs and I have her complete toolkit otherwise) or Mustadio (also covers stackable debuff woes, but for physical parties). I mean, it's not like I -lack- healer options, it's kinda ridiculous even. I'm also reconsidering the idea of making Raines my first fully LM-dived mage, since I have Terra's USB now, but I still have to fully dive her first.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

So, done with FF12's bonus battles and whatnot. 100-gemmed banner 2 and the game dropped Fran's BSB on my head. THANK. YOU. Relm's MC3 can wait another week, I'm levelling Fran RIGHT NOW to 99.

Anyhow, the fights were pretty vanilla. Apoc+ Daedalus never really had a chance with that Holy weakness, I just ran Raines+Eiko in a pubbie with ANOTHER Raines+Loserface, Hope+Y'shtola and Basch+Eiko. Three healers and two Raines = yeah, that's not a hard fight. His OSB is a nice damage burst for the late parts of a fight, too. Main thing was mostly getting sweet Wisdom motes to pump Terra with, though I didn't complete her grid yet. Still need another batch of Wisdom+Spirit to close her and Raines off.

[Shale]

I only have 33 mythril at the moment, but I threw a buck at the Awakening Cloud banner and came away with Cid's Javelin! That'll do for a start.

[Cmdr_King]

Green MPhone from similar situation.  dicey if I'll have 50 mythril by then, although I'm not 100% I wanna pull here anyway despite having some good complimentary relics for this (Ramza's Chant for starters)

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

I did two pulls, walked away with two Heavy Vulcans and an Ultima Blade. I wanted Cait's Blue Megaphone, but I'm not risking myself further after getting something I wanted early in a banner with this many dupes and downright junky consolation prizes.

[Nitori]

100 gem: Combat Shotgun
1/11 Heavy Vulcan, 1/11 Ultima Blade

Just for that I'm diving Barret
Also going to myth up for 3rd try #yolo

[Clear Tranquil]

I was waiting for the summer fest banners to come back, but apparently they aren't. Go me~

So -

FFVII Banner -

1/1

Enhancer ... I honestly forgot Zack was a thing for this banner. Wow.

FFXII banner 1 and 2, singles were duds.

FFXII Fran banner -

2/11 -

Artemis Bow, Yoichi Bow

FFVII Banner -

3/11 -

Ultima Blade (dupe), Javelin (dupe), Blue Megaphone

Decide to keep pulling because I have -no- Sephiroth stuff (except from ancient unique)

1/11 - Enhancer ( ... )

2/11 - Force Stealer, Green Megaphone

Stopped there.

Hoping to be able to do a multi on FFXII banner one later, unless DeNA pulls a surprise ninja stealth drops all the summer banners again even if they didn't do it on purpose last time or something~

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

If it's any consolation, USB+BSB2 combo on Cloud is -horrendously- broken. If you have a crit damage buff like Chant, you're dropping absolutely insane amounts of damage. You also should Legend Dive Cloud now.

EDIT: done with the event, failed to master Ultimate++ with the CM team because Jenova DEATH died before I landed Multibreak. Oops. Came back with Raines/Terra/OK/Y'shtola/Fran, in which Terra KOed Jenova DEATH from over half health with a single Scorching Flames post-Omen. Girl feels like a goddess right now.

[Scar]

The last couple of events have been shit for me.

I did pull clouds USB and sephys bsb on this one.

Guess it's time to change my RW!

[Clear Tranquil]

Congrats Scar!~

Thanks Snow. Before I obtained Cloud's USB I had been thinking about making Ramza my first legend dive. Has Ultra/Shout/Burst and for future proofing for his BSB2 and stuff~

Not a lot makes it past my Vanille/Yuna/TG Cid/Raines/Ramza team. Even been able to pull off some Jump Starts without Wall, and most of Mired in Crisis and Maw of Despair was a breeze sans Sephiroth who I left too late to have the time for figuring out timing and synergy with, even bringing Yshtola in didn't work out, sure I could have came up with something if I hadn't left the event so late though. Surprisingly I used Convalescence over Transcendent Dream for most of Mired in Crisis/MoS~, Astra is so good when you don't have a lot of good status resist equips.

FFVI Jump Start I ended up bringing in Terra for, disappointed to miss out on her Ultra but Super/OSB combo is still quite sweet =)

Mainly been cycling between Vanille, Yuna, TG Cid, Raines, Ramza, Onion Knight currently with Terra or Alph being brought in as needed.

Don't have Chant unfortunately, was hoping to get it from summer fest =( I think Zack's Chain has crit buff though, and I also picked up his Burst a while back. Yeah, my FFVII synergy seems all kinds of crazy. Getting something for Cait Sith was something I'd been looking forward to for a while as well.

What I'm really happy about though, along with getting something for mog kitty, is Fran's Ultra. As ice is one of my favourite element in general (ice, water, ice/water) and dark/ice combo is cool =) Game seems to love giving me Fran relics for some reason, had one of her uniques from way back, game dropped her Burst along with Vaan's for Nightmare Celerity LD, and now her Super and Ultra >_>

Also on the bright side all the Mad King Bahamuts should be quite feasible now with new FFVII stuffs, I have Luneth wind stuffs too, could also bring Onion Knight, and Arc, for Cid's Missions, for those coveted Spirit Motes towards mage/healer diving~

Yes, it does. They synergize very well, between Wind chains, crit damage buffing and straight attack buffing. I'm kinda jealous you got Cait's BSB, I wanted it to have a complete kitty. Granted, I'm already -so short- in MC3s to cap-break people with...

[Shale]

I still don't have enough mythril for a full 11-draw on the Cloud USB banner, but who cares when people on my RW list have struck gold already? Time to mangle D300 Bahamut.

Party: OK as jack of all trades; FB, Curaja, BSB and OSB (unused)
Luneth with Dark Bargain, Sky High R1, BSB and Swordshower SSB (higher multiplier than the Eternal Wind entry)
Cloud with Hailstorm (unused), Magic Break and BSB2
Zidane with Mug Bloodlust, Dash & Slash, BSB1 and OSB
Arc with Ultra Cure, Shellga and instant curaga SSB.

Strategy is simple: get all my buffs and mitigation up ASAP (including Zidane's burst to get access to Steal Power), en-wind Cloud and Luneth, summon the USB and murder the hell out of Bahamut, hoping that he keeps using physical attacks at least every other turn instead of chaining together Megaflares because unless I was already charging two heals when one of them goes off I can't recover quickly enough to survive another without Word of Kindness. The big stumbling block, oddly, was keeping Cloud alive -- he was almost always the first person to die in any given run, even after I stopped using Hailstorm (which got him murdered by even a mitigated Megaflare), and would invariably go down before he could use a SOLDIER-powered Cloud Cycle. Finally he managed one and then died to a ST physical, and that was enough to push me across the finish line. Luneth got the final hit in with an 80K damage Sky High, and I collected my Spirit Motes. Yay, brokenness!

[Shale]

I scraped together enough for an 11-pull! I'm down to 0 mythril, but it's okay because I'm either set for or preemptively giving up on Cid missions until the Bartz USB event anyway, and besides it's all worth it because that last pull got me.....uh.....Cait Sith's full breakdown SSB.

God dammit, RNG.

i bought mc3 for rufus and his 8* combat shotgun, and barret because he can use it
barret meta incoming

JP update: Ashe just went full godmode, USB that chases black magic with 2-6 hit lightning attacks depending on the hone level of the spell you used. R5 Chain Thundaga = 8 hits with a decent chance for 16 thanks to LM.

Also, this event debuts ATK/MAG and DEF/RES breakdances, which....holy power creep. An AOE reverse wall would be enough to put someone in my JP A-team today, and here it is as an ability.

Chain Thundaga will be buffed to four hits, so it's more like 10 with a decent chance for 20. That's every Shantotto CSB owner's wet dream.

Please tell me this Jump Start Bahamut fight comes back.  I can't figure out how to beat it with three helpings of dead weight (I have 5 SSBs for the realm: Luneth, Ingus, Refia, and 2x OK), and I want to just wait until later.

It does.

Anyhow, FF14 event bonus battles: "oh Rhytahtin halves all elements, I guess Terra wouldn't be too optimal but as long as she deals like 45k with her OSB it'll be fine" - *Wrath till two gauges.* *Omen.* *Scorching Flames.* *RESIST.* *99.999.*

WELP. That was very silly. Potato Burst also did something similar with Astral Fire popping 6k per -resisted- hit, which was immensely funny.

Apo+ raid Titan wasn't -too- bad either. My winning run involved running Fran for debuff stacking/Affliction Break duty and Yuna because Song for Spira is seriously godly on raid battles. As luck would have it, we needed revival in the first three turns of the fight, at which point Yuna popped that USB and things began sailing smoothly. I feel like I've gotten pretty comfortable running support and healing in MO. Doesn't hurt that now my support options are good enough in terms of stacking and my healing repertoire is just beyond nuts.

[Meeplelard]

Finished FF14 event and did both raids.  Gotta finish the FF12 event next.  Couldn't beat Jump Start Bahamut, unfortunately; just don't really have the means to deal with his healing at this point.


Also saw Terra triple cast Chain Firaga in Cape Westwind for 9999 each hit.  That was sure a thing!  Also the most difficulty I've ever had with Rhitathyn ever, which is bizarre because it's viewed as the "Face roll lol" trial in Trial Roulette.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

DU Lucky Draw net me another Lambent Hat, Zidane's Vest and Beatrix's Force Shield. Combine, oh hey another vest for FF9 and finally a holy boosting physical equip. Beatrix also can use the Enholy+OSB combo, which could be pretty useful on Shadow Dragon's Magicite dungeon. Regardless, it feels vaguely ridiculous to have such a stacked Knight set for FF9 (both Steiner and Beatrix are essentially fully kilted sans an irrelevant unique SB. Hell, Steiner has his effin' LM!) while I have absolutely nothing for Vivi since Oak Staff, which was my first character SB ever. Oh well.

[Clear Tranquil]

I too was foiled by the dastardly dragon. End result I got Luneth, Zack, Arc leveled to 80, made a White Mage Robe+ and a Gungnir++, created Hailstorm, Full Charge, Dark Bargain, created and refined Tornado Strike, fully record dived Luneth, picked up Sky High, got Cloud to L99, record dived and legend dived just short of his second legend materia at least. Managed to beat the 200 and 250 before doing all this, but the Jump Start ultimately thwarted me. I had a final run where things were going very well (eventually figured out that I needed to time it so Cloud unleashed all his stuff after Luneth really got going instead of trying to burst with both of them unleashing everything at once only for my party to eat back to back Megaflares) only for my game to crash and my battery to run out of juice), I'd also replaced Arc with Yshtola by that point hoping at least to get the two man clear for Cid's mission but no go.

Rising Sunned/11 for the Dungeon LD >_>

Beat the Imperial Titan with Luneth/Zack/Cloud/Yshtola/Ramza and got the Spirit Motes from there at least which softens the blow somewhat.
