Board 8 > Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 42: Tyro for CBX?

(+) Yeah! (+)

looks good to me

though that is a lot of HP to go through. you basically need two R4 abilities on Orlandu and good hones on Beatrix as well.
---

Sorry for the late response but I used a mage team (don't have to worry about blind so that frees up accessories)

Use two summoners with dualcast LM to kill the judges easily (I used Alphinaud and Terra) and after Garbrandt uses his buff use Auron USB to overwrite it. Have some more attack breakdowns to be safe, you can also stall him out with damage reflect so the omni resist isn't too bad of a problem.

Shit....

I have an R5 and R3 on TGC already.

I guess I need to make another R4, upgrade the other to a 4, and move the 5 over to Beatrix

Thats a lot of Holy orbs

Cloud? Or someone else since too much damage is death?

A honed up Tornado Strike would probably be good for the first phase.

I got my 4 Famfrit kills done, but Geosgaeno seems a lot tougher, mostly because 3x petrify isn't something you can shrug off the way 5x silence is. Also TGC OSB was really good for managing Savage mode, especially since that's the only SB that he wants to use anyway. In this fight I have no OSBs so I'm totally reliant on Quetzalcoatl to break savage mode, and if my chain count is too low sometimes it doesn't even do enough damage for that. Maybe I should have paid for Ashe's OSB but $30 for a non-TGC OSB is just too much. Meh. Has anyone here done it yet, and if so what was your team?
---

got another 6* from daily yesterday, Garland OSB

more FF1 synergy is nice
---

3/11 Faris LMRx2 (dupes), Bartz LMR
3/11 Gilgamesh Chainx2, Lenna Burst
1/11 Bartz Burst

Pretty disappointed with this haul. May give it another but want to do the FFV Realm Lucky first
---

Did one more

3/11 Bartz Ultra, Galuf LMR, Gilgamesh LMR

I really wanted the Galuf Chain but now I've knocked enough other desirable stuff off the banner that I'm thinking I can't draw anymore. Gonna have to see when the next times to get earth chains are.

This god damn Yiazmat shit can go fuck itself (part 4)

I fully maxed Ashes motes, and her water (whatever they are)

I have a Lightning dagger and lightning light armor (magic) a max Magic accessory

I have the RM for more vulnerable damage done, her BSB, and R5 Drainga R3 Chain thundaga.

Ive made it to phase 6 once, and been whiped in 3 or 4 more than I care to count

Im doing everything in battle I was told to do, why cant I beat this fucker?

Isgebind down! Second 4* magicite beaten, first time in 33.04s, then trimmed to 31.30s. Can't manage to sub30 though. I don't have a chain for this one like I did for Maliris, though for the first time in any magicite, I switched my healer to someone other than Rosa. Brought in Arc since I have his Pblink SSB, and Isgebind is all physical. Helped avoid one sheet of ice. Only issue is he doesn't have 4* support so he can't wrath. Gave him the lionheart RM instead.

Here's my team, help sub30?

Bartz: R3 Blazing Twinstrike R3 Blastspell Strike (USB1, BSB fire), fire damage RM
Refia: R3 Ruby Spark R3 Fires Within (USB, BSB), weakness RM
OK: R2 Smoldering Fires R3 Meltdown (pUSB) DMT
Shelke: Entrust Bot, MM
Arc: Healer with Pblink SSB

(everyone LDed except Refia)

In terms of magicite, using mom bomb as active for imperil, and have King Bomb, Maliris, Firemane, and Wing Raptor (for fast act).
---

Fuck it.... does this come back?

Im doing the judges and calling it. Seriously.... FUCK THIS DRAGON!

Looks kinda similar to my team, but I have Zell instead of Refia. Try giving her TGC RM3, that might be all you need for sub-30.

Other considerations:
- Do you have a bow/thrown for Bartz? That would help for the flying phase. Might be worth a shot, even if it isn't fire+.
- Try if skipping BSB fire and going straight to USB isn't better.
- Does OK's Meltdown outdamage Smoldering Fires? If not, consider honing SF to r3 or r4.

Fuck you Gabranth, you worthless piece of shit.

Ive had harder battles... none less fair though probably.

Good god did this guy cost me hones, motes, (and sanity)

Watching my second favorite weapon in all of gaming from my second favorite character in all of gaming slaughter this asshole for about 400,000 or so in one shot was better than the best buffets Ive ever been too.

This is also the first time Ive EVER had a team all fully dived before. I have way more than 5 dived, just never in a team simultaneously. This fucker made me dive Zack

So anyway, after losing countless times to him, including one last night I totally had him beat but he landed his paralyze move on Aeris meaning she couldnt land stand, meaning we died immediately after, and I nearly threw my phone, I decided to come with a new strategy.

First I legend Dived Zack, then I boned ripping blast from R3 to R4. Then I homed Tornado strike (or whatever the AoE one is) from R3 yo R4 as well.

Tyro Lifesiphon, The AoE major attack and magic drop. Weapon and armor who cares USB 3 and USB 2 (never used the second, was too scared, just kept reapplying god wall)
Zack Ripping blast and Aeroga strike (nothing else to do when I run out if Im not BSBd for some reason) Plus wind armor and sword. Chain and BSB (used)
Aeris Curada R3 and Ultra Cure R5 Highest mind equips
Cloud. (God buddy) ULTIMA Weapon, Shinra Beta, Omega badge, R4 Tornado strike R3 multi hit wind spellblade, USB 1, BSB 2, Glint, AOSB. (All used)
Morrow.... you all know why. Equipment who cares, Wrath 5 Entrust 3.

Im not gonna talk about the full fight cause youve all dealt with this bullshit already, you all know. Fuck it all. I will talk about the end.

It took meticulous wrath and entrust planning to pull this off.

Going in to the end of phase 1 it seemed my Tornado strike would kill them both simultaneously.... that did not happen. My USB had run out at the worst time imaginable. And now I was also gonna have to refresh my chain and lose it all.... FUCK THIS GAME!!

But I didnt panic. I waited till the moment the chain hit, and then

Glint 1, dead,
Start Zacks BSB
Glint 2 dead
Tyro Auron USB RW
Zack BSB lands making Gabranth imperil Wind,
Aeris USB to heal and quick cast
Cloud USB 1
Morrow entrust once it goes off to Cloud
Zack Cmd 1 to chain build.
Morrow entrust to Zack (barely any, I dont need much)
Zack BSB (double imperil now)
Cloud BSB for stat boost and 3rd wind imbue after the 2 glints...
Reapply god wall just in case, and now any thing Morrow gets is going straight to Aeris cause the only thing that can stop me is not being LS.
Cloud AOSB under chain, double imperil, 3 stacks of imbue, increased attack because of BSB!!!

FUCK YOU AND YOUR ENTIRE FAMILY!

Dead.

Champion.

FUCK THIS GAME!!

- using a thrown for both Refia and Bartz, though neither is fire+ unfortunately (though both have fire+ armour)
- I initially went with just USB, and it just didn't seem like it was pumping out enough damage, even with Much more fire RM
- yeah meltdown doesn't outdamage SF. Should I just have two R3 copies of it maybe?

Also, won't TGC final RM take away from her damage. Or does the fast casts make up for it?

Fast casts make it roughly as good as equipping a damage materia and Ace Striker at the same time. The downside is it wears off after 25 seconds, and if you have a different source of fastcast it's less helpful.

Daily Draw got me Bartz USB2 (dupe)

FUCK. OFF. GAME.

Yiazmat down (I created a Bartz plan instead).

Fest over with 8 hours to go.

To the people who farmed this shit....Jesus... you are more a man than I

Might tell plan later. Taking a nap

don't think any of us actually farmed it. you don't need to unless you're a whale 8*ing everything and buying refreshes to R5 tons of skills.

Gotcha, thanks!!

Ok so I got a new phone today (also an iPhone) and I'm terrified to move this game onto it. I have the Game Center thing, so it shouuuuld transfer over.
---

Woah, Player's Choice relic draw (based on 3rd Anniversary poll) is tonight (40 minutes) and the first 11 pull is free!!

Also apparently the Halloween event is giving away an AOSB (although I'm assuming it'll be a weak AOSB like the Cloud cherry blossom OSB). They don't say what character it's for, just that it's VI.

Bittersweet to see Daily Dungeons full open end today, I was farming black and ice crystals pretty much non stop except for the events that ended before the fest, but at the same time I need to catch up on the events are still open like Crystal Tower and FF13.

I got 420 Ice Crystals and 210 Black Crystals currently, I'm planning to R4 all the new 6* water abilities next month.
---

Apparently the AOSB is shared and it's 3 physical overstrike hits with 15.48 total multiplier (24 is normal), non elemental. Not great but I might be able to use it against Wrexsoul.
---

Where the god damn is the Edge SSB on the banner
---

Anyway

2/11 Terra BSB2 dupe Cloud BSB2 dupe

Honestly not too unexpected ton of dupes on this banner for me.
---

Ugh too many dupes, I think the only things I don't have is Noctis super and Terra BSB2.

3/11

Terra LM(dupe)
Cloud BSB2 (dupe)
Zack Chain (dupe)

Whelp free rosetta stones.
---

wow they fucking gutted this banner. only one CSB, two USBs, and no Edge SSB.

2/11
Orlandu USB dupe
Terra BSB

i really want Zack CSB but damn
---

3/11

Cloud USB (already have an 8*)
Squall BSB2 (dupe)
Terra LMR

Ugh really want Zack's chain. But almost everything else is a dupe
---

lol, this banner. I had everything except Onion LMR and Noctis SSB.

3/11 - Dupe Zack chain, dupe Terra LMR, dupe Tidus BSB2.
---

2/11

Terra BSB (dupe)
Noctis materia
---

2/11 Orlandu USB, dupe Squall BSB.

Time to re-evaluate some team setups. Also, I just now realized that at some point we gained a "Sort: [Not Max Level]" option for upgrading gear. Long overdue, but good to have.
---

MOTHERFUCKING.

ZACK.

CHAIN.

I gave up hope of ever getting this relic, since AFAIK it's not on any future banners. I can't believe I went from not knowing this banner existed this morning, to getting MY MOST DESIRED RELIC IN THE FUCKING GAME FOR FREE.

---

Dupe Tidus BSB (after I picked it on a 500-gem select, no less)
Dupe Ramza BSB

That went about as well as I expected upon seeing the relic list.
---

lol ELEVEN dupes on this banner. At least first draw is free.

Tidus BSB2 (dupe)

Terra BSB/LM and Noctis SSB were the relics I didn't have. At least I didn't get a 6th TGC OSB
---

It's kinda incredible that even I had so many dupes on the banner. Like I don't even draw for any of these characters except Tidus. Had pretty good odds of getting something new if I got a 6* but yeah.
---

4/11

Terra LM x2
Ramza BSB2 dupe
Orlandeau USB

Hey, I'm happy about this.

50 free mythril in login bonuses (5 a day over the next 10 days)! That'll cover 3 realms of the 15 mythril pulls that start on Friday.

:)

what realms are you guys prioritizing for that? for me VII is like, the only immediate must-pull and i'll probably do V as well just to get a better idea about whether i should pull on the current V banners. VIII is definitely next-highest and then i'm not sure after that. VI, IX, X, XIII, T and T-0 i'm pretty sure i'll eventually do but not sure about the others.

Not VII or Tactics, thats for sure.

Generally I'll be waiting until the next event for that realm to draw on each, and only draw if I was considering drawing on one of the two banners.

There are a few I'll rush, however. FFIV has too many items I still really want to delay on it. FFIII, FFV, and FFVII will give me chances at an Earth Chain so I'll go there quickly as well.

Once the Fire 5* Magicite comes I may rush FFX and FFVI in hopes of getting a Water Chain. Chains are the only huge needle mover so I'll only rush based on those.
---

oh i forgot III has an earth chain. yeah i'll probably end up doing that early, too, assuming i don't get either of the other two.
---

VI is my top priority since there's a lot of stuff that would help me there: magic water chain for next month's Magicite, arcane for Terra/Locke/Celes would help a lot with Wrexsoul, USB/LMR for Shadow would be great for my darkness team.

After that probably XII for torment help (or lucking into Ashe's AOSB finally would help a lot with Geosgaeno). XI (Shantotto), VII, VIII, Tactics, X... eventually I plan to do them all but I'll prioritize ones that have torments and then the ones where I like the games/characters.
---

Oh and Locke chain or Relm USB would also be super useful to me (and Terra BUSB would be nice) so lots of reasons to pull on that one. I probably should do V too since fire is the only element I don't have any chain for.
---

Got a disco in the daily draw! Kain's chain... A dupe
---

I got a 6* from the daily as well.

Setzer's USB.

Finally something new for him.
---

Eh, I did one pull on FF2, seems decent enough and I could use better synergy for this realm

2/11

Hilda LM & USB

Hmm, Hilda was the character I least wanted Relics for (besides Maria's BSB which is a dupe) Since I already have Minwu's USB1 and dualcast LM, but I guess she'll come in handy for the torment since you need a attack/magic break to overwrite the major buff it uses.
---

100-gem Hilda BSB. It's an upgrade to Minwu's SSB for CM healing, so this could come in handy.
---

100 gem Hilda LMR. Pretty useless without one of her soul breaks, but oh well.
---

i pulled on the XIII banner instead. got Lightning BSB and dualcast LMR. just good enough to dive now i think with glint and OSB. i want to pull again because the next XIII event banners suck imo but i'm down to basically nothing.
---
