All realm bosses have had full break since Dreambreakers.

Did a pull, got Marcus dual awakening, did another one and got Zidane chain. Dang wish I had another cap break for Marcus.

I'll be going full physical for FF9 for sure. Zidane, Beatrix and Freya have sync/awakening, probably use Quina for sync and (ugh) realm chain to counter full break.

I might pull tomorrow on the banner too since FF9 is one of my more troublesome realms, I'd like to replace Beatrix with Marcus since he can imperil which would benefit Freya, Zidane and Eiko so getting a cap break for him would be swell.

Also this boss doesn't use the 5 second wall BS, thank god! I've been trying to get some sub30's on nexus bosses with my new Master toys but I'm always 2-5 seconds short. Gee wonder why _

2/11

Freya glint+, Master sync (fucking finally!)

2/11

Master glint+ and awakening 2!

Sah weeeeet, dyad and dual are tempting, but this should be good for now.

100 gem'd Tidus awakening 2! Dunno if this is enough to move Trey out of my physical water team though. Maybe I should just dream select Tidus sync 2 next Dream Select for Bahamut Zero.

I got Kefka's hero gear at 5/5/8 today and tried to sub30 FF6 Dragonking. Best time was exactly 30 seconds

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/7/6/AADoKzAADScY.jpg

Damn, I guess I'll take it for now and wait for Strago's cap break glint to be lensable or if I get another cap break for Kefka. Don't want to waste hours gambling with characters with 25% dualcast chance LMRs just for some anime lens+.

Green Dragon hits really hard that you probably need wall though.

One good thing though about Quistis is that her HA is instant cast which makes her easier to work in a mixed team so you don't need allegro.

If you already have two characters with two cap breaks then a third DPS character with one cap can suffice. Especially if it's a ATB sync. Plus his USB has chases so you can use that in phase 1 then use the sync in phase 2. He also self buffs his attack so he breaks cap easily on phase 2/3 Dragonking and his sync command 2 is an overstrike to break King's Rage.

Damn I had to dream select Quitis' awakening to beat this guy, but I got Braska's dyad from the grab bag so that made it worth it!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/3/2/AADoKzAADRYg.jpg

And I only beat this guy through luck, geez where was the talk of this guy being easy coming from? Even with lolbio into consideration this boss is legit hard.

Ugh I thought they said this boss was easy. I can get him down to 10% but I get maze gate'd because I run out of cap breaks.

Got Emperor's dark awakening with the book, that's nice I guess but I don't use him for dark anymore.

Zeid sync is there isn't it? An ATB sync for 11 isn't a silver bullet?

Also Bio Nexus is in a few hours, oof. I hope my bio team can handle a day 1 win even though it's not much. Edgar sync 1/awakening/AOSB, Thief awakening 1/2 and USB and Quistis sync/dyad (and the sync isn't good because the first command has a long cast time) At least Edgar gets his 5 hit HA tonight too.

I hope I don't have to do a pull on the banner or dream select Quistis awakening.

Alright I got the sub30 on FF9 Bahamut! This was still pretty rough due to Bahamut gimmicks and timing Zidane's sync so the instant turns aren't wasted while the wall is up, also another problem was trying to use Quina's realm chain to overwrite the last phase's full break when I was just better off just muscling through it with the high chain count from earlier. Also I really underestimated Freya, she hits really hard now! (though those could be the dragonking and nexus boards doing that)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/4/5/AADoKzAADRMN.jpg

That just leaves FF6, FF10, FF11 and core Dragonkings to sub30. I'll try FF6 tomorrow when Kefka's hero gear comes out though I'm still iffy because of 6 million HP.

No I didn't pull on that banner. I'll just wait until her glint+ is lensable and dream select her second awakening later.

It is there! I pulled for it.

2/11 Serah awakening and Cinque sync

Serah awaking is nice I guess, I finally have a cap break for her.

Eh I guess I might as well get Zidane's sync too since the FF9 Nexus is after this.

2/11 Basch LBO and Josef sync 2

Oh nice! Kinda sucks to drop his sync one but I guess this is the better one because it has a piecing attack.

Yeah the rewards for sub30ing bosses right now is really underwhelming now that anima lens+ has become yet another overabundant currency. Still sub30ing is for completionism's sake and to fell good about pulling recent tech.

Dream Select's are tonight too! I was thinking of getting Delita's awakening but I did a test run with his hero gear and got the sub30 on FFT Bahamut anyway!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/4/1/AADoKzAADRKl.jpg

Now I'm not sure what to pic, unless Quina's sync is there. Maybe Qustis awakening? Probably should wait and see if I can beat Green Dragon without it.

I got 5/5/8 for that characters I care about this group. Missing Jack/Refia/Zell 5% armors but meh, I never use those characters anyway. (plus I tried Jack against Snow Giant before and he couldn't get the job done.) But man what's really killing my motivation is that we need a free hero artifact expansion ASAP. It's so annoying having to get rid of some like every day just do the 3 daily dungeons.

Since there's a new Labyrinth this week I wanted to shake off the rust and get a new sub30, and I got it on Armor Constrict thanks to wait mode being fixed and Rubi's Dual awakening!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/1/6/5/AADoKzAADRBl.jpg

I wonder if the elemental Neo/Zero Bahamuts will count in the future for that book.

I was thinking of Mega Man X3 when I saw this topic.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/8/7/AADoKzAADOfb.png

I 100 gem'd Rubicante's limit break! This banner is risky but I'm gonna pull for that Rosa costume.

1/11 Porom sync
1/11 Porom sync again
2/11 Cid sync, Rubicante dual awakening!!!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/7/6/9/AADoKzAADOfJ.jpg

Yes!! So happy to have another cap break for Rubicante since he's on my magic fire and FF4 realm teams! This is should be a shot in the arm for elemental Bahamuts and Crystal Dungeon Zeromus!

I got Josef's awakening 1 from the free draw. Well he was on my physical Enkidu team so getting another cap break is nice since the second ice Nexus is soon.

Maintenance is tonight, make sure to clear your stamina before 1 AM PST (well if you still care about stamina that is.)

Yeah Shiva's damage is really rough to deal with in the later phases. Sarah's hero ability gives a party damage reduction barrier so I used that to prevent slots 4 and 5 from dying.

No Carrot/Bunny Mario from Super Mario Land 2? It was pretty epic fighting Wario with him using the same power ups.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/2/1/5/AADoKzAADNIX.jpg

Well good news is that I don't think I need Master's sync because I came so close without it, bad news was I was 0.1% from a win

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/5/5/6/AADoKzAADM-E.jpg

Woo got her!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/9/7/AADoKzAADM9J.jpg

At first I was thinking "She does a lot of damage, but she's not really that hard" ...up until the last 40%, her bulk even after the 5 second wall is over is insane! Rubicante couldn't break cap even with 6 imperil and max chain! Still Braska and Ace muscle'd through it with their awakenings!

Tickets
daily-Sarah Glint
Magic hard-Wol USB dupe

Season 4 stars tomorrow and we got a new Nexus boss, FF8 Shiva. She's said to be one of the hardest bosses (that's pretty scary if she's harder than Snow Giant!)

Magic I should be okay with Braska, Rubicante and Ace, physical I'm worried about since I only beat Snow Giant through luck. I wish I got Master's sync...

I got a 100 gem disco off that Bartz banner but it was a dupe Bartz Wind awakening, 11/15 now sheesh.

Mog Awakening 2 is the most meta changing relic since Orran Awakening, maybe even Elara's USB1.

Also been a while but I finally got a new Dragonking sub30, FF1!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/4/1/AADoKzAADKvp.jpg

I was just doing a test run with the new stuff I got from constantly putting in tickets but Theif and Master went fucking crazy with dualcasts even though I screwed up a bunch like bringing Sarah's USB1 instead of her USB4 and Orran not having enough meter to use his sync at the start of phase 3 and then getting bitten and losing that meter when he was about to cast it but Thief and Master just muscled through King's rage even after that 70% full break.

Congrats!

I got Rude's awakening off the daily today! Could be useful if I want to go mage in FFVII since he can take advantage of Red's imperils.

Forgot about this last ticket from the log in.

Got a dupe Thief awakening 1 (7/15) whelp looks like I won't have Master's sync to help me with Nexus Shiva since that's the last one until then.

I guess I could do the magic Shivas and the weak physical one before I do the real physical Shiva I suppose.

I use dampens on a third defensive magicite of that element.

I also got the other two tickets today, first one got me Sarah's 3 quickcast USB finally! Second was a dupe USB of her's as well.

Sheesh I'm just gonna dream select Thief's awakening 2 at this point. Despite the shallow pool and putting like what 40 tickets in FF1 the game seems to refuse to give me a second cap break for him and the bio Labyrinth is soon.

Got a dupe Lunafreya sync on my grab bag, aw what a disappointing mog ball. Not even a rank up since I never use her despite having her awakening as well.

Oooh for my Alexander revisit I finally got the sub30!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/6/7/AADoKzAADKI_.jpg

Got some good dualcast luck with Edea under sync! And her dyad finisher was doing 50000 a hit!

I got Echo awakening with my ticket, it's new but is Echo even worth using anymore these days?

Ryu can beat Akuma
DK can beat Ryu

DK can beat Akuma

While I haven't seen all of Street Fighter V's lore though as far as I know Ryu has never canonically beaten Akuma outside of non-canon Evil Ryu endings. Akuma is either holding back to test Ryu like in Alpha 2 or he stomps him hard like he did in his SF5 story.

I got two dupe Thief glint+s with my ticket, at first I thought I got his awakening 2, but when I saw the second one didn't rank up that was bad news.

The second one I think, the one that gives quickcast every two white magic, bard or dancer uses.

I thought she only had 1 awakening too so this is a pleasant surprise. No medica chase is a bummer though.

I got Hilda awakening from the daily today! Sweet now I have healer awakenings in every realm except FF6 (though Mog might as well be the healer for FF6 anyway.)

WhiteLens posted...

Imagine how confused people might have been to see Mega Man 6 and Mega Man X having such close release times.

Most people didn't even know Mega Man 6 existed for a while because it came out in 1994 when stores were taking down their NES sections. I only saw it at Toys R Us and World of Nintendo.

Apparently she's really fast like Enkidu was, but I felt Enkidu was easier than Snow Giant (though both are awful)

Yeah the 5 second wall really is a pickle, if it wasn't for that I would sub30 magic Anima, Alexander and both Sandworms.

The scary thing is that nexus Shiva is apparently even harder than Snow Giant, oof and I can't seem to get that much needed Master sync despite putting in like 40 tickets into FF1.

Congrats on beating physical Snow Giant, that's one of the hardest bosses in the game IMO even with the context of powercreep.

I improved my time to 33~ seconds on magic weak Anima but I can't seem to quite reach that sub30, funnily enough it was Pecil and Ovelia that got me the best time, thanks to Pecil's magic damage boost with his sync command and Ovelia's 50% mind and some other stat boosts that stack with Cait Sith. Maybe if I had Fusoya's sync or a dual awakning for Hope or Pecil I could get it...

Congrats on sub30 Kalavinka, despite overdrive this boss is still annoying to sub30. Apparently Thunder Gigas is actually easier to sub30 because he doesn't use the 5 second wall to waste time.

Also I did another pull on FF7's banner since there's a lot of good stuff here (most noticably Aerith's awakening 2) got Tifa Awakening 2 now, which is okay I guess. I think she might be the character I have other than Bartz who has the most cap breaks (dyad, dual awakening, sync2, awakening 1/2) those chases are pretty nice though, kinda odd how she has an ATB sync but that's the one I use the least.

Fucking finally I sub30 physical Kalavinka Striker, what a pain in the ass! Can't believe how bad Galuf is that Tifa couldn't carry the win, so I dropped him for the free chain and brought Gladiolus instead since I have his dual/sync/awakening but that still couldn't get the sub30... I was worried I wouldn't be able to get the sub30 without his chain because my damage really tanks in the last phase with the free chain. But then I remembered I had Machina's dual awakening and I can lens his chain! Machina does so much more damage than Galuf that now he's going to replace him in my earth team- But even with that I was always a second or two short... so I used my sync dream select on Machina's sync. I know I said earlier that anima lens+ are basically worthless at this point but I know we're getting another earth weak Nexus boss and elemental Bahamuts in the future as justification for picking it and I finally got the damn sub30!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/0/7/0/AADoKzAADIs2.jpg

Also I finally got the sub30 on magic Earth Guardian thanks to Cait Sith hero gear and lensing Fujin's chain (sorry Alphinaud, you were holding me back because you take too long to get your chain up!)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/8/1/AADoKzAADIrd.jpg

Oooh FF7's banner looks nice actually despite Angeal. Did one draw.

3/11 Tifa Glint+!, Barret Dyad and Tifa Dual Awakening!

Dayum Tifa wants to make it to the Sephiroth team!

And I got Hell House down first try!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/0/4/AADoKzAADIqQ.jpg

Granted this was probably easy because Tifa's dual awakening and dyad took out like half of his life, this thing hits pretty hard but Tifa and Cloud hit harder. Also I messed up using Barret's awakening 2 on the first full break instead of the star of phase 2 full break.

Easy mode was a quick sub 23.

Tickets were a dupe WoL OSB and Meia Awakening 1. 13/15 one more dupe of that I'll be able to use it twice... but I would much rather have her sync

I think they're probably going to add Stranger in Paradise characters to cover more mages for FF1 rather than Black/Red mage since they look the same as the core versions.

Ramza can barely keep up as a physical DPS these days he wouldn't have the stats to be an effective hybrid unless they gave him a lot of record boards to buff him.

FF15 has that assistant to Lunafreya who's Shiva in disguise, they can make her an ice mage. I'm surprised Ardyn isn't a hybrid and pure physical.

They'd have to balance out the realms so they have 3 mage DPS, FF1 only has Matoya and Meia (Echo is more of a support despite BM 6*) FF11 only has Shantotto, and that grey haired girl later, 12 only has Ashe and Vayne, 15 only has Lunafreya and Tactics only has Rapha and Marche (Montblanc is more support!)

Tactics could have 3 mage DPS if they'd finally put Reis in the game. 7 years in and she and Beowulf are still not playable?!

Oh I thought Edgar only had 1 sync and that was the one on the bio Wodin banner, but if that first sync is bio than that's cool anyway. The bio nexus is supposedly pretty easy just that lol bio is a problem with how few relics there are and I don't think 3 cap breaks will cut it with that much HP.

I might do dream selects if Thief sync or Edgar syncs are there, I need to buff up my bio teams for the labyrinth, maybe Arc sync if they're not there so I have 3 mages with 2 cap breaks for the FF3 Nexus. I know I could 100 mythril select it but that banner is full of dupes.

Also I'm starting to think sub30ing bosses for anima lens+ is getting pointless now, with all the nexus bosses and their easier versions I've beaten I've got over 2000 sapphires and there's no hero abilities I want to buy anymore, or looking forward to. They've essentially become another excessive currency like rubies and rat tails at this point so I shouldn't spend money on relics I would use for sub30 dragonkings and nexus bosses.

And yeah Faris just does poor damage in general, even with her bow damage+ LMR. She like Rikku and Fran were not DPS character originally so they lack the offensive stats and motes to keep up. Not really much you can do but wait until her hero gear comes out.

I hope we never get an event like this weapons one again, ugh so boring! Even the spiraling stairs was better since you can just auto like half of it, having to wait on the Mako cannon suuuuuuuuucccckkkks.

Also we should be getting a new Labyrinth group and nexus Thursday, the FF7 one with Hell House at the boss. I'm thinking Tifa (sync2/awakening/dyad/LBO) Barrett (both awakenings, USB) and either Sephiroth or Cloud. Probably Sephiroth since he's not so meter dependent.

Congrats! Baltheir is the best fire chainer, especially when his second HA comes out (5 hit + fire imperil)

Best for me

-Physical wind, only one I got a sub30 Nexus boss on (granted it's Earth Guardian) Dual awakening for Bartz, with awakening 1/2 and the earth one, sync/awakening/awakening 2 for Luneth and Vaan and chain on Luneth (wish I had Vaan's chain too)
-Magic Earth, Red XIII is still OP, and I got Maria's sync2 and dyad, those two are just so fast together, Emperor is slow though but he still contributes.
-Magic Wind, Fujin has a dual awakening and her awakening 1, Emperor sync and awakening, Eiko sync2 and awakening 1, Alphinaud is the weak link because his chain is slow because he doesn't have hero gear.
-Magic Dark Nabaat has imperils, is fast and has sync/awakening, Edea is fucking nuts with her dyad and dark sync and CoD is fantastic with her overstrike HA.

Worst for me

Bio (duh) I barely beat Wodin with 1 cap break on Thief, Edgar and Qustis, I keep putting tickets in FF1 in hopes of getting another one for Thief but no dice! Super worried about the nexus.
Magic Lightning- I think this is the most common non-bio one because of lack of imperils, still have to use Y'shtola solely because of that. Kraken and Blue Dragon are thankfully easy however.
Physical Ice- I have Trey with a dual awakening and sync and awakening for Josef, but Fran is really weak despite her sync and awakenings and she's my chain holder. I also have stuff for Celes and Squall but they're too slow to keep up with Enkidu.

I got Minwu's sync from the free one, not sure if I want to do the 100 mythril one, Fujin's sync seems good to go with her dual awakening for the crystal dungeon but I dunno the banner itself is dupe city.
