I'm personally not a fan of running double support but its definitely a strong formation especially if you have any of Ramza's SB/SSB. Shout has made it so that even supports can deal very respectable damage.

Pulled Tyro BSB. Great for Nightmare dungeons since you wont always have protect/shell.
Dont think it fits on the A Team though since I only need a healer BSB now.
I also got Ashe's medica... Why does a black mage have a medica!!!
Weird pulls but better than the usual nothing.

Probably shouldn't have even bothered pulling on the lucky draw, went in expecting nothing because of the last monster 11x pull and got nothing.
Finally beat my first ultimate above 130 difficulty in Ultros. I even got the cid mission done because of the recent additions of celes, setzer, and relm to my party; I already had terra at 80 and I got shadow's ssb previously and used him as the 5th.

I said I wasn't going to pull. I pulled anyway. 1/11 with Serah's Gloves. Far from the best relic possible but also not the worst.
Kaiser Dragon actually wasn't that bad for me though. I beat him on the first try. Despite Lucky Draws hating me I've had good luck elsewhere so I was able to field a. Dry strong Mage Meta team and master it in one attempt.

I don't know about you guys but Kaiser Dragon was such a PITA to me. He wouldn't swap to the right element for mastery condition and I had to slow down DPS at some point just to wait for him to hopefully change to the right element. Cue a lot of S/L's... Definitely one of the tougher Abyss dungeons for me. I ran 2 shared Medica + Y'sholta SS2 (which is useless in the last phase), which fit well since mage gear gives decent mind as well.
Looking forward to play around with Meltdown!! Wonder if the 5 Dooms event will produce enough orbs to hone it to R2... but first to finish all the elite dungeons to get mythril for my lucky draw... urk.

0/11 on lucky banner, what else is new... I tried Kaiser dragon twice, but my dps sucked ass. Level 80 mages were barely hitting for 6k with -ja spells + song of swiftness. I'll probably come back after onion knight's banner (with his stacking party buff, hopefully...)
I've only beaten the first black magic, and combat nightmares. I could probably beat a few others at this point, but just haven't put in the time yet. Them not rewarding anything except some crystals (which I'm not ready to use) means it's super low priority.

Just about killed Kaiser Dragon but no master since I skipped a target phase and low DPS meant that P3 wrecked me and killed 3 characters.
You need good SBs for this fight and mine are very awkward. Tyro BSB is great but he can't be a healer he needs to be with it. Eikos haste and heal is good but no synergy. Regular SBs (Ashe) and even SSBs (Terra) don't do much more damage than -aja spells.
I think I can S/L a master eventually if I save BSB magic blink for my slow P3 but it's rough. I'm also geared for RES and wonder if I could get away with more MAG gear.

I'd say do away with the RES gear, but bring SG/SS2 if you have it. Boss in P3 ignores RES so the gear will be useless anyway, and that's when you need the extra fire power. I had to run 1.5 Healers (Y'sholta with Curaja / Shellga and Exdeath with Curaise + Blizzaja) with 2 shared medica, and he stil managed to nuke Y'sholta off.
Also Chain Blizzaja comes out soon, which will help a lot.

Wait I let my SG RW drop off in P3 thinking it wouldn't matter, does that actually work in P3 and it's just RES/Shell failing? I can do it if this is true.
Not planning on making the chain spells, I've maxed every -aja and hardly ever use them. I'll make one if I get a good en element and element boost item pair for it.
Thanks for the help, this may make the difference!

From what I read, all his attacks in p3 pierce resist, and since he's immune to break debuffs himself, there's nothing at all that can help mitigate p3 except complete immunity (magic blink). I haven't made it to p3 myself, so this is simply me repeating what I've read from other sources mind you.
Sorry I think what I posted wasn't very clear - SG doesn't work in P3 either but it helps a lot in P1 and P2 so it would replace your need for RES gear in those phases, which would then allow you to use the +magic for your accessory.

It's sounding like I got dumb lucky with Kaiser Dragon. Here was my setup:
Minwu: Curaja and Shellga. Instant Curaga group heal as SB
Exdeath: Memento Mori and Darkzone. Mako Might to Grand Cross and eat single target spells and keep Darkzone stocked
Kuja: spells
Lulu: spells with Focus SB popped as soon as the gauge let me
Krile: spells with mako might and Sheepsong
I transitioned to P3 on his 3rd vulnerability phase and got lucky that 2 of those 3 phases were the medal conditions. I only used one crystal because I forgot about that mechanic. But with Wall, Shellga, Focuses RES boost and the regen I was ok in soaking damage. I popped an instant heal in P2 just after the 2nd vulnerability shift ended and then remembered the crystal mechanic. Do the last vulnerable phase did almost no damage and I went into phase 3 at full health. I popped a second heal during p3 and just nuked him down fast.
Like I said: I got lucky and took it for granted how easily I beat him. But in my favor I have some solid Mage relics and I was hitting him for 9k without hitting vulnerabilities.
I plan to craft and hone meltdown as soon as I can rank 2 it. I'm coming to appreciate strong abilities like this for CMs when I don't have great SBs.

To be fair you always seemed to value mage relics so this is your reward! All my magic stuff is on supports/summoners/white mages so it's awkward to use here. I did rape Neo Bahamut though so the luck cancels out there.
I can only R1 Meltdown, I wonder how long R2 would take? I'm thinking 6* abilities are best on BSB users since they don't need hones much? Cloud usually only uses one ability slot for example then quad cut.
Meltdown has the potential for 9999x3 on weakness, which makes R1 equivalent to R3 of the -ja series that is front loaded in 2 turns - I'm pretty sold that 6*'s are worth it even at R1, though you'd probably need to have 2 of them with backup R3 skills. I'm still waiting for Ice Crystals for Northen Cross, which should be coming soon, and Mug Morale + Snowstorm Strike are free which is quite awesome.
Triple-Burst banners are out. They're honestly not that appealing to me, as I've got relics littered across them. If I had to choose, it'd be banner #4 as I'd like another shot at P.Cecil's BSSB and there are a few items for realms that i need.... though I will have 0 Mythril tomorrow since i'll be pulling on the BLM lucky banner so will have to see if I can farm back up to 50 before October.

I'm really torn. I'd like to pull on tonight's X banner because it's great for physical synergy which is in a very bad spot for me. I'd be happy with anything other than Yuna's Rod (even the crappy Ice Brand wouldn't be awful just for the synergy).
As for the Burst banners for me: 1 is bad. 2 and 3 aren't great. 4 is actually really good. 5 is really good too but it's weighed down by having good relics for characters I don't care for.
The, obvious, issue is Guaranteed 5 coming in about 2 weeks. Tonight's banner and #4 both look great but I'm terrified of blanking again.
