Lurker > Ultimaphazon

My first Dreambreaker where I've actually cleared the time limited mission. (except IX, but that was kinda cheating)

I remember how devastated I was when I pulled Rem's LBO, but those things are kinda insane. 500k damage makes for a very nice finisher. Technically Queen's AOSB was the finisher, but that's just a detail.

Lili AASB
Deuce Glint+, Last Stand USB, HQC+Bard Heal USB (bought the Glint+ and HQC USB with lenses)
Queen OSB, AASB, AOSB (w-cast LMR)
Cater USB, AASB
Rem USB, AASB, LBO (Mnd boost LMR)

With yesterday's ticket, I picked up Edge AASB. I thought Zeromus was supposed to be so easy, but even with Edge AASB+HA, Rydia AASB and Pecil' Dyad+AASB, it wasn't easy at all.

So I bought Pecil's HA, which was doing a lot more damage than Holyja, and I got the win, sub-30 even.

Not sure I like the resolution to the stamp screw-up. Doesn't feel fair to those who were gonna do their pulls spread over all 5 banners.

It doesn't really impact me, one way or the other, but still.

Got a dupe Serafie AOSB. Garbage.

But now it's finally time to do some lens shopping.

Will be buying Bartz LMR2 and every healer Glint+ where I feel it would actually my realm or elemental teams. Surprisingly, there's not that many of them in the shop that I don't have:
Only Elarra, Hilda, Rosa, Relm and Deuce.

I'm also looking at some better healer USBs, or nice toys for my AASB holders. For tier 2 lenses, ther's maybe some 5* Glints and especially w-cast LMRs.

I'm currently at 44,835 / 55,970 / 43,580 lenses.
I'm curious what my lenses will look like after I'm done.

2/11
Bartz AASB and Cecil Dyad
Not bad at all. I would have preferred Lightning's Dyad, but at least I managed to dodge the LBGs.

Got TGC's en-holy Glint, a dupe Rydia Glint+ and Krile's Glint+.
That TGC Glint is nice, the rest not so much.

I used 100 mythril on banner 1 before it went away.
2/11 Cinque LBG, Shadow CSB
2/11 Seifer Glint+, Tifa Sync2(!!!)

It's so stupid I can't equip two Syncs on a character. I'd never want to use Sync 1 over Sync2, but content is so tanky these days, using both would absolutely be worthwhile.

At least my Tifa has her AASB as a second cap-break relic, so she isn't useless after 15 seconds. I just think, generally speaking, it's an awful design choice.

Got Vanille USB and Ace USB
Both are new at least.

Wow, very nice. Meanwhile, I got 1/10 Rapha's USB.

Kiros AASB is amazing. Kiros is a fantastic character in general if you have his USB as well since it's an instant cast Marche clone with switch draw infusion. He also has a lot of ability options. Only flaw I can think of is that he lacks infusion stacking (for now)

Just to correct a few mistakes here:
- His USB actually gives switch-draw WITH element stacking, so it's even better.
- Also, the same row quickcast isn't quite Marche-style, since it boosts all actions, unlike Marche, who is limited to physical attacks. I think Kiros is only 2 instead of Marche's 3, but being able to speed up healers, mages, chains, wrath, entrust, etc. more than makes up for that.

The removal of stamps would be incredicly dumb. I wasn't going to spend 50 blues this fest, but it's stupid regardless.

Got WoL's Sync on the I LotR. At least, a satisfying end to this fest's shitshow of LotR.

2/11 On tthe AASB lucky:
Snow's Dreambreaker trap AASB
Leon AASB

Not exactly my most wanted relics, but both are new at least.

My LotR keeps being awful
VI - Setzer LMR (longer debuffs)
V - Gogo Glint dupe

Used my ticket on IV for an 1/11 Rosa USB dupe. Ugh

Got Cait Sith's bad USB on VII. I already have the Regenga+Last Stand USB, so this will probably not be used much, if at all.

After yesterday's Ultimecia BUSB I attempted magic Alexander and got him fairly easily.

Then, motivated by that success, after a fierce fight, I also managed to down magic Diabolos.
16/16 on 6* magicites!!!


Cait USB2, AASB
Aphmau USB2, USB1, AASB, Glint+
Arc AASB, SSB
Rem Glint, USB1, AASB, LBO
Minwu Sync, SSB
RW Chain

Got Ultimecia's BUSB
That thing's lensable, but I did consider lensing it for magic Alexander. So at least this saves me 1000 lenses.

I feel like I'm having my worst LotR yet.
Since my last update, I've gotten
Curilla USB (dupe)
Paine USB (dupe), Auron LMR (Atk buildup)
Zidane USB2 (dupe)

Last few days of LotR have not been great

Iris USB1 - I doubt that's going to solo-heal a Dreambreaker, better than her BSB, maybe
Alphinaud BUSB - it's ok, I guess
Fang BSB - dupe
Fran BSB - dupe

Sub-Zero

That LotR cutoff is insulting.

But I'm a sucker for cheap pulls, so I'll just draw on all of them regardless.

I got Ovelia USB today, the Elarra variant (Regenga+HQC2). That counts as a win in my book.

Got a dupe Cater Glint. Bad start.

I wouldn't use a honing scroll for cast time reduction. That's not big enough to be worth the cost. Save them to get a second cast on an amazing support AASB.

Not really, no.
His theme is amazing, though.

I threw my ticket at the Holy banner and got 2 dupes, Yuna CSB and Ceodore AOSB. Garbage.

First 11-Draw on banner 2 is 25 mythril is half price, so I figured I might as well.

2/11 - Aphmau USB (dupe), Aphmau AASB
Healer AASBs are very valuable relics, so this is definitely a win in my book.

This fight is ridiculous. Anti-heal might be the dumbest mechanic the devs have ever come up with, and that's saying a lot. I had a few attempts where Lenna's heals were literally healing 1HP at some point.

Dupe Squall BSB
Machina LMR
Prompto AASB

Always nice picking up your chain holder's AASB, so pretty happy with that one.

I was tempted by Shanty Sync and Lili AASB, mostly.

Got Shanty's new chain and Lili's Glint+. Well, that won't help my weak IX realm at all.

I don't like the banners enough to go that deep on december fest. Maybe in march for the anniversary banners, those seem significantly better.

I almost had a frickin heart attack right now.

3 discos
Dr Mog flies and reveals a 7*
The 6*s are both dupes, but here comes the 7*
They are obviously Rem daggers
*gets super excited*
It's her fucking LBO, god dammit

Sure, that's not awful, but when you are expecting the biggest jackpot in the game, it feels like a kick in the balls.

Hell yes

Dupe Terra BSB, new King w-cast LMR and dupe Tifa AOSB (now rank 3)

Another disappointing pull.

2 dupe 5*s and a Gilgamesh USB. Just awful.

2 dupes (Palom Glint+ and Dorgann USB) and a new Balthier Fire Chain. That's a great upgrade over Vincent for my physical fire team.

Yuna Glint
Basch USB
Amarant Glint+

All new, but also all kinda bad.

Star Trek

4/10, 3 disco dupes (Noctis OSB, CoD OSB, Kuja USB) and a new Sync, Ignis. Looks fine, but kinda weird as a sort of support/dps hybrid.

I plan to overwrite my Torment teams with Dreambreaker teams, meaning I just deleted my Meltigemini party. I will never have to revisit that fight ever again.
I keep a single auto-torment party saved (FFII in my case) for the weekly missions.

I guess when I'm ready for Argent Odin, I'll delete the 6* magicite teams and keep all 16 5*s for the weekly mission.

Beat my first Dreambreaker with FFIX. I had previously mastered it with the Petrify trick, but the kill feels good.

Garland USB (dupe), Gabranth Glint+ and Bartz Wind AASB!!! That's what I like to see.

4/10
Jecht LMR (dupe)
Leo Glint
Lightning OSB (dupe)
Arc USB

Off to a bad start, but with 30 guaranteed relics with a 10% chance of 6* or 7*, I'm bound to pick up a new AASB/Sync sooner or later... right? Right?

Family

Used my last elemtal tickets on the Lightning banner, and finally got a second lightning mage AASB in Matoya's; technically my first but Ashe Sync fulfills the same purpose.

This got me the magic Leviathan clear, that I had been putting off until now.



This went much smoother than I expected.
Cait AASB
Elarra AASB(used to revive after the 5 sec doom)+USB
Matoya USB+AASB
Ashe Sync
Garnet Chain+Imperil BSB

Not really, neutral at best.

Finally another ticket!

1/10 Noctis USB1
*throws phone against the wall*

Yes

2/10 Garnet CSB dupe and Serafie AOSB
Ugh

2/10 Vaan Debuff LMR, Exdeath BUSB
1/10 Paplymo OSB dupe

4/11 on the Lightning banner with my first ticket from magicite missions:
Lightning Glint+, Rapha LMR, and 2 useless dupes

My recent tickets have not gone well.

2/10
Rikku Glint and dupe Snow USB2. Sucks, but at least the Snow USB is a nice Ice+ bracer.

Yes

Spent a bunch of mythril on most (but not all) realms and elements (18 different banners, unless I remember wrong), as well as 5 tickets on the Lightning banner.

Got a few new toys that should come in handy eventually:
- Lightning LBO (which should go well with her Sync)
- Bartz Earth Awakening
- Beatrix Awakening
- Wol Awakening
- Yuna Holy CSB

As well as few more that could have some value:
- Steiner Awakening
- Josef Awakening
- Trey Awakening
- Exdeath Awakening

270 mythril for a new CSB, a new LBO and 7 new AASBs isn't too bad imo, even if some of those AASBs might be of questionable value.

Realm and Elemental banners refresh officially coming on the 5th. Hoping for as late of a cut-off as possible.

This took quite a few tries and different party compositions, but Diabolos has been defeated



This fight is awful, and I am so not looking forward to the magic fight. Hell, I'm already dreading fighting him twice more for the lvl 99.

Feels good to be in the 8/8 club though, even if it's only 13/16 for now. Magic Leviathan, Magic Alex and Magic Diabolos remain.
