Board 8 > Final Fantasy Record Keeper General Topic 30: The Thunder God rises...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh wait, it's on Thursday.

Well... there's your super advanced reminder!
---

Mote Red Soul + Ogre Mages was way easier this time around. Celes with Indomitable Blade (had Runic last time), Orlandu with Thunder God, Onion Knight with his burst, all very helpful. Thunder God just about OHKOed the second ogre mage, so that was helpful. Once Red Soul was alone, it wasn't much of an issue.

Finished the last 2 guardians for Tritoch. Mateus and the Azers were crushed by Quezacotl, twinstrike thunder form (not sure what it's actually called), and a Crushing Blow that finished them off, then Thunder God destroyed Mateus.

Velius was a little more annoying, though AOEd the demons down as fast as possible. Actually brought in Laguna as I had his Desperado SSB that inflicts slow, which is 100% and slowed down all 3 demons. Put blind shell and bio grenade on him too, he was actually quite helpful.

Will try Tritoch tomorrow likely, as well as potentially Atomos as well. Guardian still worries me, as does Necrophobe.
---

Beat Kaiser Dragon, I'm finally part of the meltdown club! I also got Papalymo to do six hits during the fight with my new motes!

Alph's burst and Meltdown are gonna do some mad damage.

Guardian still worries me,

There seems to be an exploit against him using Deployment Tactics' damage reflect

Took about an hour of S/L, and diving Quistis to White 4. Glad to be done with this jerkface forever!
---

Beat Nightmare CPU despite having a R1 Multi Break and level 50-55 characters outside of Tyro and Ramza.

For a boss everyone says was easy he gave me a bunch of frustration. >=( Probably should have waited until tomorrow for the soft damage cap update but noooooo, I just had to be reckless and fight him now.
---

What is Deployment Tactics? I only have Guardian and the new one left.
---

It's Alphinaud's SSB.

https://ffrkstrategy.gamematome.jp/game/951/wiki/Soul%20Break%20List_Deployment%20Tactics(Alphinaud)

It gives you something that reflects damage back at the enemies. Very handy, but I haven't been able to fit Alphinaud on my team.
---

Alphinaud's Super Soul Break that's give an attack/magic boost and damage reflect.
---

Woo attack softcap increased. I'll probably stick to magic, mostly (Maria BSB and stacking Faithgas too strong) but I'm glad physicals are 25% more viable now.
---

Beat Mote Dungeon for II finally.

Just Ifrit left
---

oh right tomorrow I'm trying out the 200 difficulty FFT raid.

Hopefully Cid does cool s***!
---

FFT raids were really easy
---

Threw 50 mythril at the FFIV banner.

Got Fusoya's SSB Radiant Robe x2 and Rosa's White Dress.

Bleh
---

so Fire Emblem wasn't working in droid4x, so i updated it... and it erased everything. then it still didn't work, so i had to download another emulator, Nox. and now FFRK's multiplayer barely works in Nox (i black screen 3/4 times) so i gotta use both and re-download all of FFRK <_<
---

Three 5*s.

Fusoya's SSB, Palom's SSB and Rosa's burst. Second White Mage burst (first was Y'shtola), so that's pretty sweet. Also, two new forms of holy damage. May give this CM a shot when the ultimates come out
---

?

Did something go wrong with the Raid servers?

I can't join any room (that is, it takes a long ass time to load and when it gets to the actual battle it waits for some time then kicks me out), and when I make a room it still takes a long as time and kicks everybody out, leaving me to control all 8 characters

Also survey is being made for 3 Mythrils. Not sure what the answers will be used for, the next Fest?
---

did survey

i assume it went through
---

The shout buff is so good, some guy in Multiplayer used Onion Slice and killed Barbariccia when she had 75% life with rapid 9999s.

Also hoping Onion Gauntlets wins the survey, too bad Cid Raine's burst wasn't there through.
---

Did one more 11-pull on the FFIV banner using gems only to go 1/11.........




.......CECIL'S OSB!!!


God, I'm so frickin' happy right now!

I seriously consider myself very lucky to have gotten each Soul Break level for PLD Cecil.

The only relic I'm missing for him is Mythgraven Blade but I really don't care for it. I don't think there's even a feasible way to get it anymore.
---

Did an 11-pull on the Thunder God Cid banner. After getting Mustadio's Super off 100 gems last week I wasn't expecting much. Got two more of Mustadio's super, and TG Cid's OSB. So that's satisfying.
---

Oh right I have 50 Mythril again

... so tempting
---

i actually got to 100 now. wasn't expecting that. but i'm pretty much in save mode now until anniversary, at least.
---

11 pull on the FF4 banner got me two Fairy Claws.

At least it's a nice stat stick for Refia, I guess.
---

Must......get Rydia OSB and Edge's Red Jacket.......dammit.
---

God, I'm having fun with these Multiplayer Raids.
---

I was weak

1x Aegis Robes (dupe)
1x Excalibur

Finally double Waifu Knights action with Beatrix and Agrias

I guess I do need to make more Saint Cross

Or maybe just Lifesiphon
---

Beat Apocalypse Rubicante, he's a bastard with Ultimate Inferno since it dispels ALL buffs but thankfully my Rosa and a random Selphie supported the team with magic blinks.
---

100 gemmed Cid's Hammer. Looks decent.
---

Done all Rubicante U+ and Apo in MP.

Magic Blink is MVP to null his Ultimate Inferno.

Double Squall EnIce SSB+OSB literally destroyed him.
---

I ****ing love Zell, he's such a great damage dealer. Dark Bahamut was not a problem until, in my idiocy, I forgot to recast BOTH Wall and Shout, but hey.

Going to egg Zell to max level then I'm going to town with him on Multiplayer
---

Wow

Delita and Zell just straight up murdered Rubicante U+

It's the Apocalypse I'm dreading though. And for that matter, there's something wrong with my game, I keep getting constantly disconnected when a Raid is going on or trying to join a party. What the hell man
---

Vanille 99: Arise R1, Curaise R5, Transcendent Dream BSB, 1 SB Bar at start RM

Quadruple healer meant we'll win eventually, but by god all of our damage dealers pulled their weight. Duelist is ****ing amazing.
---

Beat the Ultimates. Even though my FF4 synergy was weak the first two were cake.

Barnabus was super easy. Native shout+Orlandeau OSB=dead. Used the OSB on the last form to kill him ASAP to avoid sleeping gas counters.

Cecil was even easier than Gaffgarion! Granted I got lucky with my first Tempo Flurry landing slow which I hear people have trouble with through but after that Orlandeau could go to town on him with his BSB. I brought Warrior of Light instead of Beatrix since his burst does more hits based on defense and took advantage of the synergy of Cid's Boots, Cecil died before he could use his Darkness waves.

Dark Bahamut was a pain though, since he resists everything except poison I went with Noel's Burst RW so I could keep breaking him, when he uses Ultimate Megaflare it's dispel kept screwing me over and his damage went insane, I reset like 7 times because of that, it was so annoying since he was easy outside of that. If I knew about how bad Ultimate Megaflare was I would have brought a Cecil OSB RW to kill him quickly during that phase.
---

Are either of the FFIV banners good to pull on or should I wait for the next one? I desperately need weapons from the IV realm but two of the big relics from banner 1 are holy based which I'm pretty stacked on elsewhere, and I don't know how useful some of the relics are on banner 2. I have 350 mythril so I can afford a pull but I'm not sure how far we are from the anniversary stuff
---

I'm really tempted to pull from this FF1 banner we are about to have. We don't often get FF1 equipment.
---

There's also a FFVII Lucky Draw tomorrow for the Torment Dungeon.

The Final Fantasy 1 ultimates seem like a pain in the ass through, the 4 fiend gauntlet where you have to use fire, holy and lightning to get full medals then fight Tiamat who resists all of those elements.
---

All FF 4 ultimates mastered with full medals.

The Dr. Lugae/Barnabas rush was obliterated by lightning, finished up with a Thunder God when Lugaeborg was at half health.

Dark Knight was melted by Raines' BSB, along with Orlandu with SC (didn't even get to cast Thunder God), Warrior of Light's BSB, and Rosa's Holy Ray BSB.

Dark Bahamut was a little more annoying, but his paper thin defense was assaulted constantly. Onion Slice doing about 60ish thousand was pretty sweet, and Vaan's Ark Blast was also quite helpful. That, combined with Asylum, held Ultimate Megaflare to only a few hundred damage to a couple people, and he died shortly afterwards to a Onion Knight full charge.

I believe all the Torment dungeons are opening up tomorrow, so I think it's time to give them a shot. Excited for the FF 7 lucky draw first, then I should be able to beat that one. Then will go back and give the piglets and Geosgaeno a shot. Likely only the 200 difficulty though, not sure I can do 250.
---

Lucky Draw tonight?

FF7?

SSB+?

@EmDubyaSee
---

Got Aerith's Burst and Reno's Turk Bombshell not too shabby! Finally have an FFVII burst and it should help in the White Magic Nightmare Dungeons... I think.
---

Aeris BSB is excellent. Congrats
---

Vincent's Shortbarrel and Zack's Apocalypse. Already have an 8* of Apocalypse, so that'll likely be a Rosetta Stone.

Meh
---

Tifa Burst and Yuffie Burst.

Pretty happy with that!
---

Zack Burst
Tifa Burst
Sephiroth Super (The Glove one)
---

Tifa Burst x2 and Cloud Burst.

Would have preferred literally any of the other Bursts over those 2 but I guess it could have been worse, could have been some of those terrible SSB's

Magic Comb
Magic Comb

Lololol
---

Turk bombshell and zack burst.

Is the latter any good?
---

3/11

Tifa's SSB
Cait Sith's SSB AoE FBDown
Reno's SSB

Eh, decent but at least they're not DUPE.
---

Sephiroth Glove
Reno light rod
And buster sword! ... For angeal... What a dirty trick
---

FFV Torment D200 mastered with two damage medals lost

Tyro 99: Multi Break R2, Heathen Frolic Sarabande R3, Sentinel's Grimoire SB, 1 SB Bar at start RM
Vanille 99: Shellga R2, Curaja R5, Transcendent Dream BSB, 1 SB Bar at start RM
Gilgamesh 99: Gaia's Cross R3, Retaliate R5, Gilgamesh Morphing Time BSB, Much More +Katana damage RM
Krile 99: Quake R4, Maduin R4, Sheepsong SSB, Significant +MAG but - DEF/RES RM
Exdeath 80: Chain Blizzaga R2, Chain Firaga R2, Power of the Void SSB + Grand Cross SB, Significant +BLk w/staff RM

I am so never doing a Cid Mission for these ****

Hell I'm not even sure I can do the D250 version
---

1/11 Tifa Burst

Well, this will not help at all for the Torment dungeon.
