Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

Caved in and pulled on Tyro Selection Volume 2. Got Platinum Sword and 7* Physician Staff for Vanille... pretty stoked! Thinking if I should 8* that staff because why not, I don't pull that often to be swimming in 7* items.

Isn't ingus the only character with knight 5 and support 4? At least until minfillia is ff14. Unique skillset but ff3 doesn't get a lot of air time.

Thanks again to everyone in the thread for help. Time for another dumb question. Do yall actually hone 6 star skills like Mug Bloodlust? If so, where do you get enough crystals to do so?

I've left my Mug Bloodlust at R1, and plan on keeping it there for awhile longer.

6* crystals come in very slow trickles in the weekly events, which is why the U++ difficulty is so wonderful (even though the rewards are few). The #1 fastest way to hone up our 6* skills is to use all your 6* motes from Job Fest to create skills and then break them down; this is a bit short sighted because job motes are even rarer than 6* crystals, basically coming from the single Job Fest that we had, because derp (DeNA needs to rotationally put that back in semi-permanently for new players, like the Nightmare dungeons IMO).

Did a pull on the FF9 banner, got 2x Lightbringer, Wizard Rod, and an off-banner +fire physical dagger. Sad I missed Eiko's BSB, but getting a 6* Beatrix sword is solid, and both of those relics are great for the CM. I finally used my 17 saved up Rosetta stones on the 6* Lightbringer, which makes it now my strongest sword overall.

I'm thinking Beatrix, Kuja, Garnet, Quina, Eiko for the CM. With Garnet's SB giving stacking resist, haste, and regen, I may be ok without a medica synergy, especially if I run double healer.

100 gem netted me a 5*... Quina's 50% Boostga!

My IX synergy is among my weakest, and there are some good weapons, one 11 pull I say...

Garnet's Hastega and Eiko's Flute!

I wanted Beatrix's emperil holy, but not going to chase - I have achieved good realm synergy.

So I am really not sure who to use my MC3 on. I have :

Cecil BSB
Bartz SSB
Cloud OSB
Squall BSB
Zidane BSB SSB
Vaan SSB
Lightning BSB
Tyro SG

Thanks again for all the help!

Do you use Tyro on your primary team? If so, he's a good choice to give a bit of help to his shitty stats. Otherwise I'd go with Cecil or Zidane. Cecil's a great character with a strong BSB, and Zidane's BSB comes with the utility of good burst commands, and synergizes with your Cloud's OSB.

All Ultimates down. For the Zorn and Thorn fight I went very heavy mitigation and Beatrix was MVP with Magic Blink. I'm not doing the CM this time around. I have 200 Major Power Orbs so I'm just skipping.

I have pretty good IX synergy - Beatrix's Seiken Stock, Zidane's BSSB and Garnet's Divine Guardian, so this U++ was pretty decent for me. You can definitely feel the power creep of Mage vs Physical here, with Vivi dealing 9999x2 with Chain Firaga while Zidane did maybe 5-6kx2 using Northern Cross. Woulda used Meltdown but 6 total casts wouldn't have gone down well Seiken Stock is MVP, I dodged 3-4 of his AE spells, made easier since you can easily build SB during the first half of the fight.

I'll probably skip the WHM banner this round. It's not going to be half off, and I've had decent fortune in pulling Curaja relics (have II, VI, XII, XIII). The chance of getting one of the BSSB's is pretty tempting though...

I beat the ultimate with cid mission. The first two bosses, Taharka and Kraken weren't too terrible with my A team, though Kraken really hurt even with lots of stacking breaks.

For Meltgemini CM, I went with 2 dps and 2.5 healers. I only have two FF9 relics, but thankfully they were both excellent relics for this CM (Garnet's SSB and Beatrix BSB). Hope BSB as a roaming warrior is what I based this seutup around (Vivi BSB works too, but Hope BSB is better in phase 1 if you have Beatrix imperil holy). Kuja + Memento Mori + Devotion + Hope BSB + holy weakness = damages.

Setup:

Beatrix -- Saint's Cross, Magic Lure -- Imperil Holy BSB
Kuja -- Ruinga, Memento Mori -- no SB
Garnet -- Curaga, Ifrit -- Haste/Regen/Resist BSB
Quina -- Magic Breakdown, Full Break -- Shared Medica BSB
Eiko -- Curaja, Shellga -- Default SB
Roaming: Hope BSB

Kill video: Meltgemini

Basically I tried to focus fire down one of the clowns in phase 1 to turn off their dualcast, while Beatrix used magic lure to both help tank and fill her sb gauge faster. Once Beatrix's gauge was near full I had Kuja pop the Hope RW and Memento Mori, then went to town with the burst commands. When the last clown was almost dead, I refreshed all buffs, and had Kuja finish him off with a refresh of Hope's BSB.

Phase 2 was all about the burst damage. His first turn is always a non-damaging poison debuff, and his first turn after 50% is also a non-damaging sap debuff. The goal is to push him to the 50% threshold before his third turn, so you can have breathing room to heal from his nukes while he wastes a turn using sap, then finish him quickly before the aoe damage becomes overwhelming. Kuja was dealing around 32k damage per round with the burst command, and Beatrix chipped in with some holy sword attacks. The rest of the team just chain casted healing (Quina had all mind gear + shared medica). I had Garnet do a token rank 1 ifrit nuke just for the medal requirement, because I didn't feel like repeating the fight.

My growth egg supply cries from constant CM abuse.

Angelwatch don't skip CMs FFS, I need some competition. As soon as I bother with Kaiser Dragon RNG I'm back to having mastered and CMed everything but fucking parade float boss rush #1.

Fine. I got him

Team was Beatrix, Eiko, Quina, Kuja, and Garnet. I took Sheepsong as my RW for the haste and spellpower. Garnet had a shared heal but was mostly offense with Summons.

I got VERY lucky though. Right at the end Kuja got a double cast proc from his RM on a chain Firaga. That was nearly 40k damage there. I also lost everyone at various parts of the fight but actually finished with everyone alive thanks to Eiko's SSB with reraise on it. But if I didn't kill him when I did he would have wiped me because he's too damn fast.

My strategy was to blitz down a twin, get the other very weak and then reapply mitigation. Once the final form spawned I blitzed it down as fast as I could. Beatrix only got one Magic Blink off but, luckily, that's all I needed. I'm sure I could beat it again but I wouldn't want to. That, easily, could have gone the other way if RNG didn't favor me at a few key moments.

Hmm, sucky. I just used the last of my gems on the FF9 event, and was gonna restock for the FF2 banner. Guess I'll hold off. I enjoy the game, so hoping it stays up.
