Yeah, I managed to clear both version pretty easily with just Ashe's burst for lightning offense and it worked out fine even with only one medica (but OK on healing duty). He's not so tanky that you can't burn him down with a balanced team, especially when Raines' burst is part of the equation.

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #3826 on:** June 14, 2017, 10:10:33 PM »

So, Apoc+ Proudclad done after... A lot of attempts to master it and failing.

Failed parties (assume that Tyro and Y'shtola are included in each of them):
Ashe/Shantotto/Papalymo (Ramza USB, Alphinaud SSB, Orlandeau OSB)
Ashe/Shantotto/Garnet (Sheepsong)
Kain/Edge/Minfilia (Ramza USB)
Kain/Bartz/Minfilia (Ramza USB)

And then I win... With the following:

Kain L99 - Lightning Dive R2/Lifesiphon R4 - Dragoon's Pride - Scholar's Boon
Ashe L99 - Sudden Thunder R4/Faith R3 - Dusk's Decree - Familial Bond
Minfilia L98 - Power BD R3/Armor BD R3 - Blessing of Light - Mako Might
Tyro L99 - Full Break R3/Wrath R4 - Sentinel's Grimoire - Dr. Mog's Teachings
Y'shtola L99 - Curaja R5/Protectga R2 - Asylum - Knight's Charge
RW: Vessel of Fate

Seriously, I have no idea why a mixed team was faster at killing this boss than any of my specialized teams.

Holy crap. A+ Adamanchielid was a pain in the ass, but the team I finally brought him down with was downright hilarious. Two Squalls with BSB2 (and one with the OSB as well) but no boostga, three sources of Last Stand that we kept overwriting each other with, a Serah who was the only faithga in the team and had her ice burst so she was taking forever to build gauge and then chaining the SBs. Yuna had to use Song of Spira to revive people no less than three times. During the very weak phase he managed to confuse six characters at once. And yet somehow we still pulled it off with everyone alive. I've never hit the "Incredible!" stamp with as much sincerity as that, because WTF.

You know...I can't remember what my DU Lucky Draw got me suddenly. Weird.

100 Gem Draw on FF13 Banner 1 got me a troll 4*, because of course it was.
100 Gem Draw on FF13 Banner 2 got me...Fang's OSB. Sure, can't complain about that!
100 Gem Draw on FF9 Banner got me Zidane's BSB2. I also cannot complain about that.

Beat everything from FF13 Event, and yes, the Adamanchelid was a pain, but got to use Reynn's BSB at least. Winning run involved getting to see Squall's BSB2 in action.

Proud Clod...I had a lot of lightning damage between Ashe and Shantotto BSBs, and Shantotto even used her CSB. still was a pain and needed Garnet's SSB2 as an RW for extra healing and defense and STILL lost 2 characters. I luckily full medal'd turns so mastery still, but annoying.

What happens when a raid boss is weak to holy: I ran MO Soulcage in a pubby group with Cid Raines and Yuna and they ran two more Raines, Y'shtola, BSB2 Squall (for countering the self-flaming mechanics, y'see), OK and Loserface. The boss melted really fast, I didn't even get the time to land Cid's OSB, just spamming Metamorphose and Shining Moment did the trick. Having 7/8 of the party trigger a Last Stand when the boss was still at 80% HP proved it's never too early to pop Song for Spira, though.

Apo+ Ark met Alphinaud BSB and Cid Raines BSB (the MAG+DEF is really nifty even when the damage is resisted), Jump Start Ark met Cloud and Luneth OSB spam. The important part is that I got another MC3 lode, which went straight to Squall. I'm horrendously behind in my MC3 schedule, I still need to cap-break Reynn, Red XIII, Steiner because I managed to get his BSB, OSB AND Legend Materia on banner 1 and Nabaat at least. Possibly Gordon, Mateus, Mustadio and Tidus as well. Oh dear lord, that's at the very least -eight- weeks.

Shale · « **Reply #3830 on:** June 19, 2017, 03:54:48 PM »

Or a shitload of real time spent grinding the 6 stamina event dungeon.

Haven't tackled Ark yet, but I kiiiiiiiiiiinda doubt a wind weak boss with no party restriction will give me any sort of trouble at this point. I'm actually thinking I'll leave Alph on the bench (which is not something I'd have expected a month ago) to bring a pure physical team of Zidane/Luneth/Ramza/Cloud/Eiko.

Dracozombie CM was fun, because I got to use almost all of my SSB+ gear for the realm -- Zidane dropped an imperil->OSB combo to blast through the weak phase where he spams Ultimate Zombie Breath all the time, Eiko got mileage out of her hastega SB and her burst, even Steiner's stupid Excalibur was useful for boosting damage from RW'd Basch burst. Good fight, if only thanks to the way my FF9 relics have fallen.

Man, I'd so do that if it dropped farmable MC3 lodes. My problem is actually getting past that third cap break.

On more mundane news, Squall has his first Legend Materia. This isn't terribly relevant until I get his second.

Shale · « **Reply #3832 on:** June 19, 2017, 06:27:50 PM »

Oh, I was thinking in terms of a backlog of people to start work on, rather than not actually having enough MC3 lodes.

Edit: Holy fuck that Full Throttle fight was a massacre. After I got a stack of imperil on him, crit boost from Eiko and en-wind for Luneth and Cloud everything was capping, including Zidane's OSB. I might spend the 60 stamina again just for fun.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3833 on:** June 20, 2017, 08:52:30 PM »

DeNA announces an orbfest banner with Enkindler and Razor Carbine a mere week after the FF13 banner with those weapons vanishes. That's brutal.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #3834 on:** June 22, 2017, 01:23:41 AM »

FF9 Event finished, need to do Cid Mission, might actually bother but need to be non-lazy. Soul Cage ate a team of a lot of Raines in MP.

And yes, I am going to whale like mad on Banner 4, I don't think I have to explain why!

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #3835 on:** June 22, 2017, 05:19:22 AM »

I got Vivi's Hat from 100 gems .. what are the odds?~

Imperil LD, I wanted Laguna's gun ... 2/11 Seymour's Burst, and Laguna's gun!, niice, dark team options continue to expand, and the one imperil ice there is~~

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #3836 on:** June 22, 2017, 10:56:16 AM »

Against my better judgment, I made a pull on the Imperil LD banner.

2/11.

Locke's Mirage Phoenix and Gabranth's Innocence. Both are Bursts and neither are dupes, so I came out largely ahead.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3837 on:** June 22, 2017, 01:30:03 PM »

My pull on the Imperil Lucky went with an Imperial Highblade (Leo's SSB) dupe and Kuja's BSB. The game -really- wants me to run a high-powered dark mage party, this is my third Imperil Dark BSB, my fifth dark magic BSB and I even have Raines BSB to exploit that synergy like a champ. I wonder how good would a Raines/Nabaat/Kuja/OK/healer party be.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #3838 on:** June 22, 2017, 01:53:23 PM »

Passing on the Imperil Lucky Draw. I have 4 Imperils I can actually make use of (Wind, Dark, Fire, and Holy), and trying to save Mythril at the moment. If it weren't for the fact that we just had 7 Lucky Draws, I would draw but with a fest around the corner, *2* Terra relics that I feel obligated to chase...you get the idea.

Shale · « **Reply #3839 on:** June 22, 2017, 02:49:50 PM »

I'm torn. I have 130 mythril now, want to pull twice on fest banners and once on Awakening Cloud, plus the BSB+ lucky. So the question is, can I pull together 70 mythril before Cloud USB goes away?

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3840 on:** June 22, 2017, 04:45:40 PM »

Well... 70 sounds unlikely, but at least 40-50 you -should- pick if Cloud USB event lasts 10 days, since that'll be a day after the extra Mythril from the bimonthly FF Portal app campaign drops. Also depends on how many story dungeons you have left. I'm skipping the Curaga Lucky Draw myself, last time yielded terrible results and the dupe count remains off the charts. Nobody should ever skip the BSB+ Lucky.

Shale · « **Reply #3841 on:** June 22, 2017, 07:02:18 PM »

I bit the bullet because I have a ton of realm dungeons left that I can blitz if necessary. Payoff: Kimahri's BSB. Why yes, Lulu and Tidus would love that assist to their bursts.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3842 on:** June 22, 2017, 08:48:56 PM »

Kimahri being useful ain't even a new thang, but it still feels SO DAMN WEIRD for someone who's been playing this game since the early days.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #3843 on:** June 22, 2017, 09:16:02 PM »

1/11, also Kimahri's Burst. I already had his Mblink SSB, but seeing as I also have Tidus Burst... well I guess FFX CMs are even less of a thing now.

Clear Tranquil · « **Reply #3844 on:** June 23, 2017, 10:05:31 AM »

Congrats on your pulls~

Curaga LD 1/11 - Penelo Super ... well at least I have two FFXII medicas now (Penelo Super, Larsa Cloud Staff) , so Penelo and Larsa can team up. Snow's right though, Burst LB is the better investment.

FFVI Banner 1 - 2/11, Ragnarok x 2, 1/3 - Davinci Brush!!!

First VI medica get .... and I should also probably start using Celes >_>

FFVI realm update -

Terra OSB, Burst, Super
Celes - Indomitable Blade, Burst
Relm - USB
Strage - Morning Star
Gau - Shiny Thing

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3845 on:** June 23, 2017, 01:41:48 PM »

I said I wouldn't pull on this Curaga LD. I lied. And got Eiko's USB for my troubles. So, I have a complete Eiko once again.

(There was also -another- Seraphim's Mace there, but that just got fused)

This said, I didn't have an instant Last Stand before, so this is insanely nifty.

EDIT: This actually tempts me to fully dive Eiko, but she still hasn't got a Legend Dive even now. And then, Y'shtola and Vanille are big contenders with their dualcast Legend Materia.

Shale · « **Reply #3846 on:** June 23, 2017, 04:27:50 PM »

Congrats. I suspect the only reason I've resisted the temptation is having Selphie's version of that effect already, because instant Last Stand does in fact kick a ton of ass.

JP notes: the joint FFT/FFTA event just opened. And if you thought FFRK loved its Tactics brokenness before, this one is even crazier. Ramza gets a new BSB that's a combination and upgrade for Shout and his BSB1 – enters with a Shout clone and en-holy, and the commands are a five-hit holy/non combo that doesn't build SB gauge, and self Wrath. Perfect for juggling his USB or his crit-boost SSB (both of which are on the same banner), and the attack command helps with bursting down bosses or shredding Full Throttle fights – where the downside just doesn't exist. Oh, and his LMR gives him automatic full ATB at the start of a fight, plus instant cast on his first action. Hello, initiative instant Shout, wall RW, USB to give party-wide instant cast....

Not to be outdone, Agrias gets a USB that combines en-holy shenanigans with Cleansing Strike's 50% ATK/MAG break, and throws in an EX mode that buffs knight damage by 30%. Marche debuts with an EX mode that gives quick-cast to all your front row fighters whenever he uses a knight ability (of course he's a knight. He's an FFT main.) and a burst that buffs party ATK/RES. Agrias and Meliadoul's bursts come back too, for all your physical tanking needs.

Jesus. I did one pull and landed Ramza's BSB2 (goodbye, Shout!) plus Marche's LMR that boosts knight damage when he uses a sword. Definitely going back for more when I get some mythril together.

Magic Fanatic · « **Reply #3847 on:** June 23, 2017, 04:48:49 PM »

10:29 AM <MagicFanatic-mobile> ...So I saw Jo'ou's draw and got jealous, and did the LD myself. Lara's SSB/BSB, Aeris BSB (a Rosetta Stone since I already have an 8* one), and Penelo's Ultra.

Thought I was going to regret doing this pull. I now no longer regret it.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #3848 on:** June 23, 2017, 06:44:36 PM »

Larsa's BSB is just amazing and Penelo's USB ain't half-bad either. You're never ever having trouble with healing in FF12 content again. Congrats.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #3849 on:** June 23, 2017, 09:17:29 PM »

LDs are just always a draw, so...

Vanille BSB, Minwu SSB, Selphie SSB.

No dupes, FFII synergy is always a plus, Vanille BSB... Selphie SSB would suck if it was a 1/11 but it's not, and I DID entirely lack FFVIII medica.
