100-Gem got me Guy's Ogrekiller.

11-draw got me Leon's Defender and nothing else.

900 gems because I was feeling hopeful got me jack squat.

Teams for the U and U+ involved the following characters:

Minwu - Token White Mage
Maria - Ran Stoneja and Chain Stonega
Guy - Ran Meteor Crush and either Lifesiphon or Banishing blade, popping Earth Drum whenever it was up.
Gordon - Full Break/Magic Breakdown for Emperor and Reflect for Lamia, popping Goddess's Bell whenever it was up.
Leon - Saint's Cross and either Banishing Blade or Armor Break

Highlights:
One shot Emperor. Earth Drum made Maria's Chain Stoneja kinda nutty - about 14K/cast.
Leon was consistently the weak link, even with his new SSB. Granted, it actually helped during the Lamia fight, since it meant that she wasn't putting anyone important to sleep.
Accidentally killed Gordon with Chain Stonega when I didn't notice Reflect ran out on him. Funny enough, I still got Mastery (1 medal lost down the line), AND I got Gordon's RM3 while he was dead.

Tried to do the CM team with the U++, but it was just an exercise in frustration, ESPECIALLY since it was a rehash of that Esthar Soldier bullshit.

Y'shtola L71 - Curaja R5/Wrath R3 - Mako Might - Stoneskin 2
Hope L78 - Alexander R4/Protectga R2 - Devotion - Divine Judgment
Guy L65 - Meteor Crush R2/Lifesiphon R4 - Ace Striker - Earth Drum
Faris L68 - Full Break R3/Exhausting Polka R3 - Battleforged - Sea Lord's Broadside
Leon L71 - Saint's Cross R3/Dark Zone R3 - Dr Mog's Teachings - Darkborne Blade
RW: Cecil's Paladin's Force

The skills Leon had didn't really matter, since he was there to pop Darkborne Blade and the RW. Thinking on it, I should've had Guy doing that since Meteor Crush ATK buffs, but eh.
Y'shtola died on the third wave. I decided to press on, in spite of that.
Guy's damage was pretty consistently good, between Meteor Crush and Earth Drum.
Faris... Full Break for the Mastery conditions, and then dancing to lower the incoming damage. Sea Lord's Helped out on that too. She had a bow in the back row and I though she wouldn't need to focus on damage, and I was right.
Hope: MVP of the fight again thanks to Divine Judgment.

Mage Meta'd through all the Ultimates.

Team was Terra, Lulu, Tyro, Relm and Garnet for the Ultimate and Ultimate++, and Edea for the Ultimate+. Straight forward and easy, though one reset against Lamia Queen because I went in with the wrong moves (Tyro had Breakdowns instead of Dances, for example.) Whatever, 1 stamina, who cares.

I also did the Cid Mission, which I didn't master. I almost did it one run, Firion needs to hit one more ti-*Sleep'd* nevermind. Strategy was give Firion and Leon Pound and Lifesiphons (Leon also had Dark Bargain), Gordon covers the Breaks, Minwu heals, and Maria ignores her Evasion gimmick entirely. Maria holds off on Chain Firaga until after her SSB goes off for the magic boost. I know people tried to be creative with Reflect strategies, I just found it easier to set up around ignoring Blink XVI entirely and pummel her.

POISONING DOMA as a SB is both amazing and horrifying.

Why does it not inflict Poison status?

be still, my beating heart

rkjp just updated the dailies

summon orb dungeon, extra exp day, free mythril and most importantly the hardest dungeon costs 120 stamina a go, making daily farming take literally no time

Anyway, cleared the FF6 event, wrecked the CM but no surprise there. MC3 broke Locke and Relm in addition to a bunch of other people. I have no real plans to get them to L99 but it's nice to have waifu characters back in the farming pool

Spent $18 on gems for the LD, found out I only needed like $7 with the mixed payments. Just means I have gems for the next 11 banners in first draws.

Got Yda's Twin Snake Dragon Kick SSB and Strago's Soul Sabre.

Not bad, I suppose, though not as good as the Beryl Serpent someone else here got.

FF2 Fragment Dungeon CM Mastered.

Gordon L65 - Full Break R3/Curaga R5 - Mako Might - Goddess's Bell - He was running Rosa's Bow so he could have some semblance of ATK while gaining good MND.
Leon L72 - Dark Bargain R2/Lifesiphon R4 - Knight's Charge - Darkborn Blade - Ran one of my Gigas Armlets. The multi-elemental resistance was necessary, especially after Sentinel went off. I'm now glad I drew the Defender while trying to chase Maria's BSB, since that turned out to be the lynchpin of this run.
Guy L65 - Meteor Crush R2/Pound R4 - Berserker's Awakening - Gaia Drum - Two things: I should've made a second Lifesiphon instead of making Pound, and I should've put on Ace Striker instead of Berserker's Awakening - the extra Gaia Drums might've won out over the +20% damage for equipping his Ogrekiller. Easily my frailest, despite the fire resist from using Gordon's Flame Shield.
Minwu L68 - Curaja R5/Shellga R2 - Master in White - Healing Moment - Minwu was running the Precious Watch for the Medica, and the Arctic Armlet. With Leon eventually popping Darkborn Blade, Protectga was less necessary.
Josef L65 - Power Breakdown R3/Magic Breakdown R3 - Renewing Feather - Dr. Mog's Teachings - Josef was there for extra Breakdowns. That's it.
RW: Shout - ...For all of the one character that benefited from it.

Ice Resist all around, since the Ogres seemed to use mostly Ice, and the Red Soul liked that element too, but since it also used Fire, Lightning, and Poison, having the Gigas Armlets out in full force was completely necessary. That said, once one Ogre went down the fight became far easier. Guy got blinded at the last moment, and I didn't have time to use Minwu's Basuna IV, but Leon pulled it out in the end.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3382 on:** October 26, 2016, 12:38:18 PM »

Lucky Draw: two All-Rounders and a second Yoichi's Bow. Well, fuck you too, game. At least I got Minwu's BSB from FF2's second banner.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #3383 on:** October 26, 2016, 03:35:28 PM »

Hey, at least you can finally start that Blitzball team I always wanted!

Shale · « **Reply #3384 on:** October 26, 2016, 03:44:20 PM »

Freya's Partisan, Strago's Morningstar and my third Kaiser Shield. I didn't have any wallbreaks before, so that's.....something? And I think I can use Strago's SB to make the Magus Sisters mote fight doable, since Cindy's absurd RES was the sticking point last time around.

also killed mo d200 phantom train, pictured master monk actually being useful: http://i.imgur.com/HSbDn1M.jpg
I played Tyro/Eiko and spammed Guardian Grimoire/Prayer of the Lost, but she got OHKOed at some point, oh well.

Shale · « **Reply #3386 on:** October 28, 2016, 08:30:36 PM »

Took down the FF2 U+ Cid mission despite having only two FF2 relics and them both being for Leon. Just had to S/L until Minwu started with a full ATB bar so he could put Reflect on the boss and stop Blink XVI, and the rest was tank-and-spank (with my crappy synergy made less important by stacking Shout and HOTE). Things got dicey at the end because she kept spamming Charm and eventually ran out the clock on Reflect, but I killed her with the almighty evasion-ignoring power of ROPE KNIFE.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #3387 on:** October 29, 2016, 09:45:27 PM »

Lucky Draw got me another Riot Blade and Barret's...you know what? who cares, it's a freaking Gun Arm so it's basically a booby prize because no one can use it outside one relatively crappy character who isn't even good for Cid Missions since there's another character who can do the exact same role with better weapon access.

...basically, I got a 5+* FF10 weapon, and a Rosetta Stone.

Cotigo · « **Reply #3388 on:** November 03, 2016, 08:55:02 AM »

Welp, now that we have a summon orb dungeon I'm basically working towards farming for R4 Bahamut and then R4 Ultima Weapon. All of my mages with great SBs except for Vivi can use Summon 5 as well, so yeah. I'll probably get rid of some of my 4* summons (Maduin) in order to speed up the process.

Looking at my skillset, I've got good 2+ hit alternatives to most of the chain series except ChBlizzaga, so I'm probably done farming Black orbs for the forseeable future. Especially once I get my last two Black Crystals and get to R2 Meltdown, there's no real reason Chain Firaga or Chain Stonega should ever see the light of day. In other schools, I have Bio Grenade for hitting mastery rewards and Mustadio shows up a lot in battles where I want to stack breakdowns, so Chain Bioga isn't very useful, and I have Ixion at R5 and the Dragoon 5* 4x Thunder Jump and a few useful units with 5* Dragoon (namely, Luneth, though Kimarhi is a mainstay of my FFX CM team), so no reason to hone Chain Thundaga. That said, I still need power orbs pretty badly so I suppose I'll keep farming on Tuesdays, too. I guess I can use the black orbs for an eventual R5 Chain Blizzaga?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3389 on:** November 03, 2016, 01:13:04 PM »

Black Orbs can also be used for spellblades and magic Darkness abilities, so depending on what you have for your party, you may want to look into that. I already suspect I'll never stop farming Black Orbs, since, aside from my mage SSBs (I only have one mage BSB, and it's Terra... though I seriously can't complain. Her BSB commands have near-Chain-ga mults and four hits, which makes her amazing offensively), I have Celes kilted with her SSB -and- BSB, making her completely clutch for high-end content. I also have a lot of SSBs for spellblade users (Delita and Steiner, just for the most loaded ones... I even have Steiner's Imperil Fire SSB), so those 5* future Spellblade abilities are worth looking at too. It's so weird that we're entering the era where everything is awesome now. Heck, we're getting the Tidus OSB banner tonight.

Cotigo · « **Reply #3390 on:** November 03, 2016, 02:00:13 PM »

Eh, yeah I thought about that especially since I...

oh shit i didn't brag about this

SO I failed to stop pulling on FF6 banners and got Celes' BSB (my 4th Boothga), Mog's Earth Bell, and Kefka's Quickcast SSB. Soooo yeah definitely a valid reason to be looking into those 5* spellblades.

Hey, come to think of it I don't have another viable water 5* skill (sapphire shot doesn't count), so I may as well pump that up.

Speaking of nostalgia, scrounged up 50 Mythril for an 11-pull on the Apocalypse Banner. What I really wanted was Yuna's Chaos Rod, but anything on the banner was fine. End result: Paine's Sword, Rikku's Force Knuckle and Tidus Model. Between making Rikku even better, getting a nice FFX Light Armor and a damaging Hastega for CMs running off a Lifesiphoner with Knight 5, I'm perfectly fine with this.

I'm hijacking this topic to post gacha results for FFBE. Here's my half price daily pull for today:

That's like 2.5 mythril spent to get something with a .5% chance of obtaining.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #3395 on:** November 05, 2016, 02:19:38 AM »

Nice! It'll be cool to see you using someone other than Kefka!

Captain K · « **Reply #3396 on:** November 05, 2016, 02:24:08 AM »

Just for that I'm using White Witch Fina.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #3397 on:** November 05, 2016, 07:16:20 AM »

Cid Mission'd Ahriman.

Set Up was:
Basch: R3 Saint's Cross, R4 Banishing Strike, Pride of the Red Wings
Vaan: R2 Thief's Revenge, R4 Power Breakdown, One Eyed General (he has Pyroclasm SSB)
Gabranth: R2 Magic Lure, R2 Protectga, WoL's Physical -> Holy Damage RM
Penelo: R2 Multbreak, R4 Heathen Frolic Samba, Mako's Might (Intercession SSB)
Larsa: R2 Shellga, R5 Curaja, Dr. Mog's Teachings
RW: Shout

Gabranth is twinked for pure defenses, though he does have that 5* FF12 Dagger so with the RM, he can add a bit of damage from time to time (just under 4k, not great, but every bit helps.) With the buffs and debuffs in place, he's taking on average 500 a shot. Larsa plays healer, because Penelo's busy dancing. He has a Soul Break RM because I want him alive through the first Maser's Eye and insured to having a full gauge by then is not insured, so I fire off Blink Strike at the right time, he survives. Than you Magic for reminding me that is a thing...for all that the winning run it didn't matter (he got physicaled, survived Maser Eye! ...only to die to Poison immediately after -_-.) Penelo can sometimes heal with her Soul break, and Intercession w/ her own Rod is about an extra 11k damage. Basch is damage capping every strike after Shout, so use Saint's Cross until runs out, then Banishing Strike. Given eh's my DPSer, I want every one of his hits to matter, so he also fires off Shout both times. Vaan is Power Breakdown because every little bit helps, and Thief's Revenge to alleviate healing from Larsa a bit, and extra DPS (got his level raised that he can hit 5 times w/ Synergy.)
Shout was used immediately, and right after Immobilize. My team's DPS was high enough (especially since Vaan can reset the buff on himself) that it wasn't necessary for more.

Failed strategies prior!
-The Hope RW one. Particularly because no Hastega means only Ashe can really act thanks to the RW, and yeah, not a position I want, and I didn't feel like I could spend turn slots on Haste.
-A similar strategy to the above but with Fran (who has her Full Break SSB) over Vaan. She has lower DPS outside of her Soul Break, and that was the selling point. I thought having another Full Break reapplied would help alleviate some of Penelo's issues, but turns out this was problematic. Also, Vaan could more easily equip a +Damage RM thanks to Soft Cap, a little harder to do with Fran using a Bow.

Annoying fight, glad it's over with, I even won with only one Medal loss!

Haven't touched either new event because I want to maximize Gysahl Green doubling. I know there's time after that ends to do them so...

Cotigo · « **Reply #3398 on:** November 05, 2016, 11:37:39 AM »

lol literally the day after I make those posts the FF3 event introduces dread Heal, which is basically Chain Drainga. Should help with FF5, FF7, and FF13 CMs, at least. (I don't think I have any SSBs for any of the other mage 5* Darkness characters, at least. I may have one if I pull on the FF3 Cloud of Darkness banner, which is a possibility. I'm not sure even with OK and Luneth's BSBs and OK's healing SSB I'll be able to pull off CMs in that realm yet).

FF9 U++ CM mastered. The boss was weak to Fire, and I have Vivi's BSB. Do the math.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3399 on:** November 06, 2016, 01:42:37 PM »

Did a 100-gem pull on the Bad Boy Brawl banner and got meself Zell's Crystal Glove. I didn't even know I wanted this, but holy crap is this SB good. Instant 8x mult attack that buffs Attack, Defense and RES by 30% (i.e. buff stack city)? Oh god yes. Also mastered Rikku and Paine SSBs, level-capping Paine along the way. Geosgaeno's gonna weep like a little bitch.
