i am still not forgetting about this

it's nice when you get all 3 rewards, i've had a decent day of it

finding myself unenthused about summons right now now I've discovered I was sat on some great weapons to level up,been hanging out in cube/pod 3 all day

as for Sephiroth, you didnt think theyd make a whole campaign about young Sephiroth and not make him playable?

i thought they might trickle new characters and seph would be like, down the line when they need to juice things up again. but i'm not complaining!

oh........... anyone see that notice?

sephiroth exclusive weapon HUH

Ive only been able to get 1 of each and Ive fought the 100k Ifrit fight many times. Im not sure if it can drop more than once but the game says it is a common drop.

I've got the Inferno Grave to 6* but it's not really "common", yeah. I'm loathe to spend much resource fighting the Normal version of Shiva just to farm purples of her weapon to take back to fight harder Ifrit, hoping to get strong enough from Hard Ifrit to take out Hard Shiva at least

As for the Buster Sword - not at present, it has been mentioned that different featured draws will have different weapon preferences available, maybe that's the way in future

I suppose thinking about the Summons is worth an exercise too;

Ifrit:
Single target Ice damage only comes from Shiva's Blade (Cloud) and Shiva Cannon (Barret)
Matt's Absolute Royal, Cloud's Enhance Sword, Aerith's SIlver Staff - All Enemies ice damage (for the bombs)

Shiva:
Red's Rage Collar, Glenn's Crewkicker - 400-750 potency single target phys fire
Ifrit's Sword (Zack) and Inferno Grave (Glenn) come in at 320-450 potency - it is easier to get to that top level because the parts are farmable but if you have an even 5* version of the above they're pretty superior. Glenn's is Mag damage, Zack's Phys - and Shiva is explicitly weaker to mag, so weigh that up
Flame Projector (Barret), Crystal Sword (Z) (Zack) - All enemies fire damage

the end (for you my friend)

For the single target, phys damage, crit rate 10%, PDEF down abilities we have:
PDEF: Cloud's Hardedge, Zack's Cutlass, Glenn's Piece of Cake, Barret's W Machine

And one more good for debuffing all enemies:
Red XIII's Gold Collar - All Enemies MDEF down, crit rate 10%

taking a look at all of the weapons, some I think would be really nice to 5* or more:

Aerith's Mythril Rod / Glenn's Hardcore Squad - PDEF and MDEF up for all allies
Cloud's Organics - Stun (not sure if this is useful as a lot of bosses have status immunities? but not investigated that much, sounds good though)
Aerith's Full Metal Staff - Phys Damage to all enemies with a PDEF down and 10% crit rate
Tifa's Sonic Striker - Highest single target damage (+10% crit rate)
Lucia's Mad Minute, Barret's Solid Bazooka, Red's Junk Collar, Tifa's Tiger Fangs - Single enemy phys damage, 10% crit rate and MATK down
Tifa's Leather Gloves, Matt's Slick Beetle - Single enemy phys damage, 10% crit rate and PATK down
Tifa's Kaiser Knuckles, Matt's Stingray, Zack's Arc Sword - Single enemy mag damage, 10% crit rate and MDEF down

There are a ton of single target PDEF down or MDEF down but they all pale in comparison to
Aerith's Sun Umbrella - Single Enemy, mag damage, 10% crit rate, PDEF down and MDEF down

now I get like 2k a day, maybe

that's a hell of a day

i've never even tried the fight because it's so far above my power level but maybe it wouldn't be too bad. maybe time to sink these crisis medals into an ice breach?

just came across a co-op partner who had hellfire unlocked. what a jerk

to be fair chris will be laughing when ultima weapon is the featured weapon in the anniversary event

This may not get me very far but I am not falling for the "come get half naked skins of the main cast"

they have stat boosts fwiw <_<

unless i'm misunderstanding he's talking about not using any of the gems it even gives you to do draws. you can do a hell of a lot of drawing for free as it is!

it throws a lot of gems at you because i don't think that's going to get you very far - there's a small set of possible pulls, for a gacha game, and the idea is to get duplicates to actually get any power. but if you're insistent, i'll point you towards the available watermelon weapons, and wish you luck!

i may have nominated disco volante, but my heart is with endgame and it's not looking great for punk right now

btw starting to think the premium cube/pod missions are a ruse. those are perfectly grindable (albeit slow) through the regular missions whereas memories aren't farmable anywhere else. Maybe they're worth doing when cactuar event is up again though?

had a bad time in shinra building hard crisis dungeon just now. clear of the recommended power level but didn't even get to the last boss. kinda cheap that you only know one bosses weaknesses from the enemy details screen the first time, when your keys for this stuff are so limited!

started putting big shifts back into weapons yesterday now that A. my characters are nearly at level cap and B. I have an idea of which I want to prioritize

Yoooo, there's a new card game in this.

hype level maximum

regardless I don't think the cuts themselves have anything to do with that - I think that's just endeavor business. I just wanted to point out that number doesn't have them popping corks either

I think you want to prioritize limit level when it's available yeah

I saw the number and thought "that number is less than they wanted" immediately. everything since then lines up with that thought!

Definitely not because of money since WWE and USA agreed on a deal that brings SmackDown back to USA Network next year.

coming back to this because I want to point out - the 1.4 billion dollar deal they announced this week was a disappointment. As reflected by the stock cratering since.

well for a start your summons have two limits right? so both will be affected by potency upgrades regardless of individual level. it's still affecting the power of the attack, in the end. that 2000% or whatever just gets increased by the potency

I move 2 guys on and leave my chocobo with the best item pickup rate on the one i still need usually

also, yellow tonberry down! just had to power up cloud's maritime sword a bit and have barret and tifa spamming watera blow

next goal: those Very Hard Event Crisis Dungeons *gulp*

i've been at 90% on Grasslands 2 for about a week I think, maxing the exploration kinda sucks

i am determined to take down the final yellow tonberry before this event ends

update?

no it's all that.

I see a bunch of people in Coop using Cloud's Masamune, but I don't really know if that means much. The ability is a thunder attack

Murasame, and it's just because it was the first featured weapon so we all maxed it. It was my first weapon to 90 and I think that was probably a mistake now!

yeah to be honest unless I outpower a mission pretty handily at this point I'm making tweaks to my setup most of the time anyway - it's not too smart with what I really want for crisis dungeons and it's never choosing barrier/manaward despite them being super useful.

I'm now putting together a google doc containing all the weapons and their C Abilities which once it's done I'll be able to use to actually decide what to invest in longer term, i will share it here once it's done. Tbh I barely even know what abilities I already have that would be just a tap away if the weapon was at a usable (50~) level, there's some particularly beast stuff in there that i hadn't noticed already

That's a very valid concern if you ask me. The auto equip stuff is good, but it's not perfect

literally a "defect" from today lol

hell yeah pulled my 5* Fairy Tale at last

using 5k energy in a week might be a tall order unless they really throw stamina at us again next week

the best cut of the day: yuya uemura is finished with impact!

the exp in these dungeons rocks for how easy they are lol, team FS are up baby

for aerith

respectable!

the season pass is the thing i always do in a game of this style that i like. a small monthly amount that gives you some premium shit and also some extra targets to work toward. i'm never gonna buy crystals outright or pay for a draw, but i like the season pass and it's reasonable for a game i'm playing every day

praying they cut Tozawa

there is not one other name mentioned today i would like to see in aew

aerith

yeah that makes sense i'm more mystified at tran playing a lot and still having stamina backed up. but i did have to go HAM the first two days to get through the initial allotment of stamina - on the other hand, i got the season pass which i'm sure has given me boatloads of extra stamina compared to you guys!`

no, not now the guy stopped doing the videos
