Record Keeping Final Fantasy Record Keeper

I actually haven't tried the fight for a few days -- I spent the time clearing out FFT (which I hadn't touched) and mangling the Nightmare fights. Gonna go back to it tonight, first with Dark Bargain and Drainga instead of Dark Zone or Full Charge because that's a lot of orbs to spend on one fight.

[Shale]

Cid Mission mastered! I honed Dark Bargain up to R4, gave it to Seph, stuck Lifesiphon/Battleforged on Leon so he could spam SBs like crazy, and did pretty much that.  I think I ended up using Darkborn Blade four or five times, and HOTE once. It was hitting for 7000x3 with buffs up, which was good enough to get the job done when Seph and Kefka hit 8K with their Darkness moves. Hooray! And thanks, Snow, for the kick in the proverbial pants.

Edit: I forgot the other piece of the puzzle - Mystery Veil on Kefka for a shared medica, and the FF7 freebie mittens on Seph for an extra boostga that stacked with HOTE. Probably wouldn't have pulled it out without the extra healing, if not both of them.

[Meeplelard]

I went full Chaos for Terra/Cloud myself.

Team was:

Sephiroth: Full Charge + Armor Break.  Not like Sephiroth has many options...
Kefka: High Heathen Frolic + Envoloping Etude.  Hits the condition, gets me Protectga and basically can't do anything else other than insure Terra's never at full power.  He also had Mystery Veil for the added Medica, since he was using a Fairy Flute++ w/ Synergy, his mind was actually competent despite having the 2nd lowest Mind in the game after...
Edea: Existed for Memento Mori + Dark Zone.  I should have given her Mako's Might for Hastega, but whatever.
Kuja: Played White Mage role; he had the FF10 Royal Scepter for an added Medica since i figured 2 Cure-level Medicas should compensate for the lack of a Cura+ level one.  Had Shellga + Curaja, also could use his En-dark Soul Break to do damage once in a while if I didn't need healing.
Golbez: Dark Bargain + Saint's Cross.  With synergy on everything, Golbez is actually competent as a physical PC with this set up.

Can't remember what my RW was, probably Sentinel Grimoire.  Toughest part of the fight was just insuring I can kill Cloud before he does too much damage.  Taking Terra down first runs the risk of her in Weak phase + Cloud in Limit phase; since Cloud wasn't HP dependent, he was the obvious one to kill first.

The buff banner is up! My first and probably only 11-pull produced SG and Thyrus, so....yeah. That'll do.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Welcome to the double-Wall club. We have future-proofing for multiplayer and cookies. And Nightmare mangling too, if that's your thing.

[Cmdr_King]

Holy shit we had cookies this whole time and no one told me?!

reckt on a 100 gem draw.  Not sure if I'll do anything else with it.  Chasing the platinum dragon is fun but having two relics on the banner plus a duplicate of one of the SBs makes it pretty hard to draw on but damn man.

[Shale]

The cookies were in your heart all along. You should probably see a doctor.

help i'm not used to global not screwing me

[Scar]

Hmmm

Shotgun and thyrus as well.

Not really sure I'm content, yet.

[Magic Fanatic]

Rect on the 100-Gem for the buff banner, but...  I already have Shout/SG/SS2.  While the other stuff would be nice, I don't really need it, so I think I'm going to skip pulling on this one.

EDIT: That said, I am EXTREMELY tempted to 11-pull on the FF13 Banner 1, just for Cid's Glove.  Is it worth it?

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

If you HAVE to, it's also on the upcoming DU Lucky Draw.

[Scar]

He casts spells like Edgar, so that's pretty boss.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Completed Raines event's CM and that was kind of a doozy. Fucking Seraphic Ray.

Anyhow, first run with Hope and Faith on Vanille was a bust, just didn't have enough damage. Then, I went for this:

L65 Fang: Blood of the Wyvern R4, Dragoon Jump R3, Pride of the Red Wings
L80 Lightning: Dismissal R4, Lifesiphon R4, Rebel's Might
L80 Snow: Banishing Strike R4, Saint Cross R3, Charismatic Aura
L80 Vanille: Curaja R5, Shellga R2, Ace Striker
L80 Sazh: Magic Breakdown R4, Full Break R3, Dr. Mog's Teachings

RW: HotE

Yeah, dunno. Fang ended up being my clutch, Dragoon Jump just deals horrifying damage and I could stack her default SB with HotE while BotW gives Dragoon Jump actual user-friendliness. The catch, though, was that a non-BotW Dragoon Jump ended up winning the fight for me: Bioga spam left me with only Fang and Lightning alive, then Fang jumped, Lightning got off another attack, which got Raines into killing range... then he used his physical chain (which would have killed Fang in even one hit and killed Lightning in two. The chain is -four-hit-.)... and then, Fang landed, claiming the kill. I thought I'd have to do the fight again because no way I'd have the needed medals to master after losing almost the entire party, but nope, lost one medal on damage and two on KO'd units, full-medaling everything else. Dragoon master race.

[Magic Fanatic]

Raines event's CM party that I had:

Hope L77 - Drainga R4/Dispel R3 - Divine Judgment - Devotion
Lightning L66 - Full Charge R2/Powerchain R2 - None - Dragoon's Determination
Vanille L68 - Curaja R5/Shellga R2 - Oerba's Boon - Knight's Charge
Sazh L66 - Full Break R3/Magic Breakdown R3 - Caltrop Bomb - Mako Might
Fang L69 - Blood of the Wyvern R3/Dragoon Jump R3 - Pulsar Burst - Power Pulse
RW: Divine Guardian

Had a few resets due to unlucky Dazegas (sleeping Fang too early was just as bad as Vanille/Sazh getting slept), but it only took four S/Ls to get the fight down.  Everything else was pretty manageable.

[DjinnAndTonic]

Cid Mission complete!

I decided to try it twice. First with my A-team for mastery then I would have less trouble with my less stellar FF13 party.

So my A-team attempt (Shout-Stoneskin-InstaBurst-HolyBurst-LightningSynergyBurst) went really quickly. He went down like a chump. So fast in fact that he never got to use Shell or Protect so I didn't get mastery! ... ... >_>;;

Tried again, Cid style, using every broken DPS combo I had. Punishing Palm/Saint Cross on Snow, Blood Dragoon Fang, ChainCharge Lightning (w Burst!), and Memento Dark Zone Raines. Plus Sazh as Healer/Dispeller/Hastega (finally seeing use!). Full Medal'd it first try with hinode's SS2 RW.

Good hones are awesome and I wish I'd invested more mythril into orbfest now.


Oh and in JP, I finally picked up an Overflow SB. Got Edgar's super-BioBlaster so now I'm all set for MT boss fights! Or poison weakness. Hmmm can't wait for the Disciplinary Trio to show up and get their shit kicked in.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Dungeon Update and Realm Lucky Draw up! Picked up a Golden Axe for Basch and a Killer Bow for Fran, both welcome additions for CM meta. One of the best possible hauls without a single SSB for me, my FF12 synergy is slowly improving.

[Magic Fanatic]

So, I hope for Cid's Glove.

Instead Krile becomes a permanent part of my eventual Mage Meta.

[hinode]

Got Air Knife, Aevis Killer, and 2x Raine's Gloves (combined already because seriously, who needs two mage fists?). Former two only have somewhat niche use given my insane FF5 weapon collection, the latter will take a while for me to digest the possible uses for.

Also on a less important note I got three different 3* FFXII spears, which made me wonder why the hell DeNA thought it necessary for three of them for one realm when spears are so rare elsewhere.

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Everybody and their mom using spears on FF12 has been a long-running FFRK inside joke. I suppose they just had to start it somewhere.

EDIT: Also, someone on Reddit compiled top-of-the-pack boss stats from Celes' debut to this current event and it's seriously an amazing piece of work. Just take a peek at the defensive spikes - particularly RES! - on the graph.

Darkness 5 on Raines = he can use MM/DZ easy peasy for a specialized slot on your big-name party to boost your Saint Cross/Banishing Strike spam at the very worst. If you have some more Holy-elemental SBs, even better. Tangentially, it'd also help Hope's SSB somewhat, though that's a far more fringe benefit and, AFAIK, you don't have the SBs to field a full mage party.

about time

[Shale]

I waffled on pulling since I'm mostly set for FF5 and 12 synergy, but went for it because what the heck, I really need FF13 relics but can't justify 50 mythril on the banner. Result: Traitor's Bow (and a Power Glove so now I have two 4++ FF13 fists; not entirely a bust there). So I still really need FF13 relics, but now I have my first Full Breakdown move. Okay, I can live with that.

[Meeplelard]

Did the 11 pull, got Snow's Wildbear!

...you may all point and laugh at me

[Jo'ou Ranbu]

Hay guize

So yeah, Mobius FF banner is translated. We're getting it for sure.

[Scar]

Wol have a good moveset?

I can't seem to find it online.
