(+) Yeah! (+)

1/3 - Cid SSB dupe.

Damn, after a good start my pulls have been awful.
---

1/3 DCecil BSB zzz
---

1/3
Rosa USB
---

1/3

Cecils Guise LM

Well, wont complain too much with more Cecil relics, but that relic is more for holy boosting armor.
---

2/3

Rydia USB (dupe)
Tellah Burst

Would be a godly draw if not for it being a dupe but honestly Tellah's burst is strong and giving,my highest base MAG gear a bit more isn't bad so I still like this
---

So I started good and have just gotten worse from there.

15/T/0: Marche USB
14: Thancred BSB 2
13: Serah SSB 2
12: Vayne LMR
11: Curilla SSB (dupe)
10: Braska SSB
9: Zidane OSB (but it was a dupe)
8: Kiros SSB
7: Cid SSB (dupe)
6: Edgar BSB
5: Faris SSB
4: Polom SSB (dupe)

Not great Bob!
---

Palom SSB.

Yeah, aside from the double Braska, these haven't been great.
---

Ugh

The one realm where I really needed a good draw, and I get Rosa's LMR.
---

Ceodore SSB

boo-urns
---

1/3 Aria super, not a dupe but bleh, no reason to use this over Rosa's USB
---

1/3 Arc SSB dupe. Not even the good Arc SSB. These realms on parade draws have been a giant pile of trash. Can't wait for the real anniversary banners.
---

1/3 Ingus LMR

i didn't realize it was possible to create such a worthless relic

"small chance to reduce damage by a moderate amount only with a shield equipped"

seriously what the fuck is that
---

1/3 Luneth Burst

Seems like an okay soul break and it's on a native wind boost spear so this seems pretty good. Maybe the last 5 will indeed turn this around
---

yeah that's one of the better things you could expect from this. i got it from a lucky draw at some point and it's really nice for the torment. i also use it for farming wisdom motes.
---

1/3 Arc LM

I guess that's ok.
---

lol my brother just started playing this a couple weeks ago and Dr. Mog's teachings dropped for him from the quiz game
---

1/3 Cloud of Darkness SSB
---

Oh hey Onion Knight LM. I use Onion Knight. Neat.
---

Ingus SSB. AND THE SUCK CONTINUES!!

Lucky bastard, that's the relic I wanted the most...

Is it the earth boosting sword? That's actually really good with how rare earth boosting weapons are.
---

A CoD BSB dupe. I kinda expected a dupe on this one. Too stacked with III relics from chasing onion stuff.

No it does 5 physical attacks (doesn't say earth) and then attracts magic and physical attacks. So no horrible but it is yet another SSB as opposed to BSB or higher
---

Finally caught up on all classic dungeons. Now got 199 stamina (though thanks to overflow, I have 435 right now lol). Still have 47 elites left, so still some mythril to collect if needed. Got myself back up to 82 at the current moment.

No I mean if it says "gives small boost to earth" on the stats screen, nothing to do with the Soul Break. But I see it's the Break Blade and not the Gaia Blade which has the earth boost.

Beat Mist Dragon in 40.36, finally finishing the 3* magicites! Not sure how I can knock down the time, as this is the only element where I don't have the chance of someone doublecasting. I could switch to a Mage party, but I don't have OK's mUSB, only the physical one. Almost every 3* party of mine (maybe all of them actually) uses OK as booster, Ramza as entruster, and Rosa USB as healer.

Either way, pumped to finally take them all down! Now up to 4*...
---

What did you do beat the Golem fast? I have gotten close twice but I run out of the sentinel grimoire equivalent before it ends.
---

People can sub30 Golem with 4 ninjas and bunch of raging storms, though that is very hone heavy. I go physical though with Bartz, Zack, Rikku, Shelke and Rosa.
---

Golem is the only one I've beaten with a Mage team (Alph and Fujin). Have both their BSBs, but it was still a slog. I think once the new 5* wind spell blade comes out (the 4 hit single target one), I'm just going to roll a physical party and do it that way, though his protect and earthen wall will be annoying.

Edit: Golem is also one of the 3 that I haven't sub 30ed yet, Hydra and Mist Dragon being the other two.
---

I got to about 98% before I got hit with the spam of a Earth Shake (I think that's the name) following by a Savage Earth Shake. I survived them but it prevent Ysthola from getting another asylum off and it was followed up with another Earth Shake and that ended it to me. (while Zidane was loading his wind OSB!)

I just gotta get lucky again.

I got 99 level Zidane (full record drive) [OSB, BSB], Freya (full record drive) [SSB, BSB], Zack [BSB], Ramza (war tactics), Yshtola (asylum). I think I just need somethings to go my way.

What's your party? Maybe add a 3rd DPS instead of an entruster... but it depends what you're entrusting for.
---

1/3 Maria BSB dupe. Good soul break, but I already have it.
---

1/3 Minwu burst.

Mehhhh. Not like there's much to aim for in this realm anyway, least it's not a dupe.
---

1/3 Firion Enholy SSB

It's a helmet with decent stats and lightning resist and not a dupe so I guess I could have done worse particularly considering how many relics I have in this realm already, but uhh, yeah, officially can call my streak of good draws dead at 3.
---

Got Emperor LM

Consider that I have 0 other relics for him, I don't see it getting much use.

Plus, the LM itself is more of a desperate measure since it requires him being at low HP to even activate. Though I suppose that'll happen more often than not on high end content.
---

1/3 Scott BSB

so much fire from this. might have been useful if i didn't get Vivi and Vincent USBs. and might still be useful for a CM i guess.

Sephiroth, Jecht, OK, Ramza, Rosa. Entrusting to Sephiroth, so he can use his BSB on his second turn (dark bargain on turn 1), so endark can be up for him. Then it's spamming black wing, refreshing BSB, hitting dark bargain at a bit after 20 seconds, and I ended the battle with Seph's OSB which hit 99k.
---

Also, no idea if I'm going to draw on FF2. I have Firion's USB and Maria's BSB, I don't even know what else I'd want.
---

So I decided to do it

2/3: Firion SSB, Ricard SSB

Both new, both armour types, Ricard's is heavy armour that boosts wind, Firion's is a helm that has lightning resist. I'm actually relatively happy with this one. Plus, extra 10 attack for Firion.
---

Ricard BSB

Could be decent for a CM, since I don't have a lot of II relics.
---

With a few tweaks and a few tries, managed to get my Golem time down to 39.93. Need more doublecast procs from Bartz. Using ace striker on Cloud, but I may just change it to a +damage RM, even if his bar raises a little slower, as I have Ramza entrusting anyway. That may speed it up a tad. Still though, definitely an improvement.
---

Emperor BSB

Doesnt seem too great, at least its for a character I like.
---

1/11

Sarah Super, well phooey, this 5-mythril run has been mostly a bust. Nothing amazing besides Edge's USB and even then I can already sub30 Marilis.

Total results

15/0/T-Gaffgarion BSB (dupe)
14-Alphinaud BSB (dupe)
13-Lightning SSB2
12-Ashe BSB
11-Shantoto BSB
10-Paine BSB (dupe)
9-Steiner LM
8-Rinoa SSB1
7-Zack BSB (dupe)
6-Locke LM
5-Krile LM
4- Edge USB
3-Aria SSB
2-Minwu BSB
1-Sarah SSB

Only one Disco, augh. At least I got lots of native elemental boosts. I think most of my luck went into getting Kuja's USB from a 100 gem draw.
---

Well, finally a good draw...



this pretty much redeems the whole Realms on Parade thing for me when you factor in that the whole thing was only 75 mythril. When it comes down to it, 75 mythril got me 1 chain, 1 healing ultra, 1 OSB, 1 decent BSB, and 11 things that were dupes or junk. That's plenty for 75 mythril.
---

1/3 Garland OSB

Yeah I havent really gotten anything worthwhile from the 5 mythril pulls
---

1/3 Garland LMR

1 USB, 1 OSB and 1 decent SSB (+wind sword with a SB that gives party atk+mag, could be useful for CM) for 75 mythril. if i could get the mythril back i would, but it's not awful i guess.
---

2/3

Echo Seraphic Rod SSB dupe
Master Monk BSB

Ok I suppose
---

1/3 Master SSB

So overall I got

Good but never would draw for:
Auron USB
Tellah BSB
Luneth BSB
Bartz BSB

Vaguely useful:
Tifa LM (Tifa is ok but don't have much for her and LM is weak)
Larsa SSB (for Cid Missions and Torments I can see using it)

Stat stick tier:
Rydia USB dupe
Rinoa OSB (6* but only boosts earth in FFVIII)
Ysh LM dupe
Celes BSB dupe
Firion SSB
Master SSB (thin enough on this realm it's useful)
Gladiolus LM

Garbage:
Zidane SSB
Hope SSB
Curillia SSB

I'd take that Warrior of Light Chain for my whole lot for sure, but this is basically "bad draw" tier. Not happy with it but at least I got 4 good items and some stat sticks
---

2/3
Warrior of Light and Garland SSBs
