Guaranteed 5 isn't just about blanking - it nearly doubles the 5* rate.

I don't even know what's on this X banner, but if you can master the content without pulling, you're almost certainly better off waiting for the next X event (Tidus OSB/BSB are very good).

I know I said this already, but it's really insane how much that one 11x pull changed the game for me. Going through more of the nightmare dungeons now and shit is just so much easier.

Not having a problem with dps w/ setzer in the party because overally my dps is just so much higher because of the celes bsb. And it comes in handy that setzer is a machinist, ran into fights last night that needed blind and poison for mastery and he's brilliant for that.

Sinzar · Sep 21, 2016

I really wish status effects were more of a thing. I have a few machinists I like to use (Balthier, Rikku) but aside from a token mastery condition every other month, almost everything is immune to all statuses. I get that being able to paralyze an ultimate boss may trivialize an encounter, but lesser statuses like blind, poison, etc should have more of a use on boss fights imo.

I think stun is the only status that's viable. Quite a few ultimate bosses are technically vulnerable to slow, but just due to mechanics, slow does next to nothing on an ultimate boss with 650 baseline speed stat.

I'm gonna be passing on this festival entirely (aside from 100 gem pulls). The 150 wasted mythril on Bartz banner still burns.

i made 4x R4 Dismissals awhile ago. mostly just fun as a novelty for +/++/+++ fights if you want to do something different. doesn't work at all for U/U+.

Considering banner 4, I want a third Cecil BSB to get 7* and later 8* holy boost sword. Beatrix BSB will replace Cloud and synergise with Cecil. Then Squall BSB will help with Ifrit CM.

However Aeris' BSB is next month and looks like the best healer SB ever released, it's even on Clouds OSB banner and likely has guarenteed 5* activated.

Angelwatch · Sep 21, 2016

Yeah my head says to hold off and only pull if I'm struggling. But X is my favorite FF and this is a very strong banner for physical relics. The only clunker is Yuna's Rod. I'd even be happy with Braska's Staff as a mage relic.

Aeirth's BSB isn't a top3 healer SB, but it's plenty powerful enough to carry you through all the content.

(I have it, and it's wonderful--all the next-gen healing BSB are great--but it's a full tier below the absolute best-in-class to get an idea of how strong those are.)

been throwing every 5 mythril i get at the Celes banner. just single pulled Terra's Tiara, which makes me pretty happy despite not being for my waifu.

hadn't finished the Ultros CM yet. kept getting super close, but couldn't quite topple him over at the end. that Tiara was just the tipping point i needed. it is 4 fire hits + En-Fire. gave Terra Ace Striker RM... she ate Ultros #2 alive with his fire vulnerability, then was able to dole out plenty of damage for the rest of the fight with R4 Firaja and that En-Fire active the whole time.

that was the only unique SB i brought to the fight, tho i do have really good generic FF6 synergy.

full team:

Celes - Power Break + Banishing Strike - Sword DMG+
Setzer - Full Break + Magic Breakdown - Dragoon's Determination
Terra - Drainga + Firaja - Ace Striker
Mog - Curaja + Protectga - Heal+, non-RS shared Medica rod
Relm - Curaga + Diaga - Holy DMG+ RM, RS Holy DMG+ rod, non-RS shared Medica bracer

Mighty Guard VIII RW

Celes' default SB (RES+) was pretty invaluable too, made leaving RW Wall out not hurt so bad.

Angelwatch · Sep 22, 2016

I listened to my heart and pulled twice. Overall I'm happy with the results. I got an off banner, generic, fist for VII (garbage), Kimarhi's lance, Braska'ssraff and Rikku's Dagger. That's my 3rd BSB. It's a bit more awkward than Cecil's or Sephiroth's but it's still a good pickup. And Rikku is growing on me. The lack of combat 4 hurts but she has a really interesting skill set.

pharmakos · Sep 22, 2016

that Khimari lance can basically break some magic-heavy fights. Magic Blink SB on a character with Combat 4 is OP.

Angelwatch · Sep 22, 2016

Yep. It's a clone of Beatrix's Ragnarok which I pulled awhile back. During the infamous Kuja U+ I had no problems because blink ate his worst attcks.

Chris · Sep 23, 2016

Fuck you Kaiser Dragon!

Made Meltdown and R3'ed Chain Blizzaja. Got rid of Eiko and used Hope as healer with Garnet SSB RW for haste/regen/res. Mastered Ashe medica and get her that 6* FF10 rod for mnd/mag.

So much effort and so close...

Actually I wonder if Tyro healer will work now.

Healthfood · Sep 23, 2016

Do you have native SG? Run sheep song with native wall will do the trick, though you would need to S/L to get the right weaknesses. RNG conditions are the pits for sure.

Chris · Sep 23, 2016

No native wall, I went all in on having it as RW only. Going to try Tyro healer and Braska over Hope with shared SB heal and -aja to net more DPS.

Should be easier now to get a perfect run again.

Sinzar · Sep 24, 2016

Edit: Think I figured out my issues with the CM. Gonna levelup Lulu on Sunday Daily dungeon and try again.

Healthfood · Sep 25, 2016

Meltdown is pretty sweet against him as it hits some weakness. Managed to do it with Shout but may have gotten lucky with the slows. Am now considering whether it's worth crafting Penalty Break - apparently it's super useful in Multiplayer and the new Nightmares in JP, where you can't S/L. I'll check it out after getting R2 Northen Cross this coming event.

Also in the news - apparently G5 will be coming with the Triple-Burst fest. Smart move by DeNA since a lot of people are holding off until the OSB fest without this. I'm seriously considering a pull on Banner 4, will have to see how the rates are in the earlier banners. FF 12 banner 1 does look pretty sexy with 2 great BSSB's.

Chris · Sep 25, 2016

I planned out my crystals and came to Meltdown/Valigarmanda/Penalty Break as a combo which doesn't overlap.

Meltdown and Valigarmanda are good for the annoying mage only fights. Penalty Break is great in JP for a trend of status heavy bosses.

The white orb one would be Reraise though which doesn't sound great, but then the other one (Curada - heal and 2k absorb sheild) isn't good without a healer BSB since you'll run out of hones. Reraise would be needed for Emerald Weapon eventually?

Northern Cross sounds great though and my three r3 5* abilities use power orbs, so hopefully more power crystals drop to make both. I don't have celerity 6 in my A team though...

Penalty Break isn't out for a few months though?

Healthfood · Sep 25, 2016

I don't think there's a way to break crystals into Orbs even in Japan now, so the consensus seems to be either Northen Cross for Good deeps (2.0x2) and stun, or snowstorm strike for higher deeps (2.1x2, Ice + Wind) with the possibility of boosting damage further with En-Spell / Imperil effect.

You're right about Penalty Break (I keep mistaking it with Quadra Foul for some reason), it's after Adloquem / Curada which would be 2 months down the road. Uses Power / NE / Dark... which surprisingly doesn't really clash with much else useful apart from Power. All indications is that it's like Mug Bloodlust - R1 is sufficient with a strong team to minimize effects early on, and eventually you should be able to nuke the boss after it runs out... although the 250 bosses may have things to say about it

Chris · Sep 25, 2016

Haha that video is hilarious, got me hyped up with the FF6 boss theme remix then one shotted!

Mug Bloodlust sounds decent too but I'm not sold on any of the damage only ones unless I have a BSB for that ability school to make up for the hones, even then you need to bring enough utility in your 2 slots.

pharmakos · Sep 25, 2016

Went back and did all the Nightmare bosses I skipped. Only one that sucked was CPU. Neo Bahamut was a cake walk for me, since I've been refresh spamming the Summon phase of every Orb Fest since the beginning of the game. At one point my doublecast summon RM procced on a Bahamut cast and hit for 4x 9999 lolol. Was fun.

But yeah, fuck that CPU fight. And the Tonberry fight would have sucked if I hadn't looked up how to cheese with Halting Rumba.

Also, I think Exdeath is my new MVP, since I have Grand Cross and crafted Meltdown. I didn't master the Kaiser Dragon on my first try, but on my second run with Exdeath using Grand Cross for rechargea on Chain Blizzaga and Meltdown it was pretty easy.
