wait why did they push every relevant game back to 4:30? there isn't a single game worth watching now.

The Chargers have a home game, so they didn't want to make them kick off at 10 A.M. on the west coast.

i don't mean the Chargers should have played earlier, just everyone else that was scheduled to. then we could be watching 6 hours of relevant football instead of just 3.

turns out this FF1 torment was easy enough to CM even with no FF1 SB. Cloud USB + 6x Saint Cross was just barely enough damage. had to use WoL's default SB, and dust off those low level haste and boost abilities. i also had to MC3 WoL, though no 4* dive needed.

i think Ramza BSB2 RW would have been better, replacing Matoya (who meteored through trash and then did absolutely nothing against Astos) with Garland. then that's two holy attackers and don't have to keep manually casting haste and boost, plus i'd have a spare slot for dispel.

i actually have basically the same anount of dexterity and vitality for 4* motes. wouldn't characters typically use a similar amount of each? though i have kind of a surplus in brave so maybe not.

wisdom is the only one i'm really hurting in at 230 (and this is before my planned potential Yuffie and Vivi dives). everything else is 500+.

i don't have Vivi's USB lol, but man i really want it. i used it as the RW, having both Alphinaud and Papalymo summon it, Alphinaud with chain firaga and Papalymo with meltdown. i actually don't even have a single soul break for Vivi, but i'm still thinking about LDing him to help with golem and hydra. plus i might pull for his USB in the next banner, though there's so many other things i want to pull for. if only he was on the same banner as Zidane.

i agree the mote fights are fun. i forgot there was a new one today, which i haven't tried yet, but i beat the second one in about 15s with Ashe basically doing all the damage.

Tonberry was even more fun, trying to figure out how to sub-30 with practically no earth SBs (and the one en-earth character i do have limited to 2 hits). turned out the key was going without a healer. i busted out Bartz's old BSB1 with earth commands, Squall just going pure non-elemental with his BSB2 since i have him full dived, my first chance getting to really use Prishe with her BSB, and then Ingus (and Ramza buffing/debuffing). i actually forgot i had General Leo's BSB so i'd probably put him in for Bartz if i ever farm it.

man Vivi's USB is so fun. just beat all 3 Garuda difficulties with it and completely wrecked it each time. CM was possibly the easiest one yet, with Alphinaud/Papalymo faithgas, both using Vivi BSB as RW. kept them and Y'shtola each time, with slight equipment and RM adjustments. swapped out Yda and Minfillia for Squall and Ramza for 250/300. so glad i got Ramza's USB from that lucky draw, it's so fucking good.

i don't like FFV and don't care for its cast. Gilgamesh is the only one i really like. Bartz in particular i don't like how they've tried to shove down our throats. i kept getting all of his relics anyway up through the OSB.

also at the the time of that banner specifically i was hardly playing the game. wasn't even looking at what was on banners, just collecting mythril and MC3s and stopping after that every event. that's how i got up to 600 mythril before the recent Tidus banner.

I saw that IV banner, and I was seriously impressed.
Right now it looks like I'll finally draw on a IV banner. That has literally never happened, in the 32 months I've been playing this game.

i have have yet to pull from any banner in the I-V range (outside of 100 gems back when i was doing those, and even then i'm not sure which of those games that covers; probably just IV and V) and my VI pulling can be summed up as 7 single pulls before the existence of SSBs that resulted in a non-SB gold shield. they are tempting me now though with the upcoming III event, and the much further off IV-VI events.

yeah i was considering pulling on that, but 4 months is a long time to wait to be able to clear hydra. i got the ice+ bracer from XIII and i was going to go for Squall's UOSB for ice+ sword so i don't have a huge need for those anymore. Tifa's LMR is an earth boost and i assume at least one of her USB2/UOSB is as well. i'd mainly be pulling for the earth swords and armor for Celes/Leo/Orlandu.

beat Sealion today. just golem and hydra left. golem seems doable, but hydra... man. i have no earth SBs except Ingus BSB. the best things i can come up with:

Prishe w/ BSB. if i LD her, that's 35% dual-cast, always fast-casting, and essentially infinitely sustainable if i use each command once per burst mode. if i can fit in Ramza USBs before each BSB then even better.

Squall w/ either BSB commands or USB + flare strike. i think the latter would be a bit better but i'm not sure i want to invest in it.

Ingus w/ BSB. bonus of helping survivability. but even with en-earth i think he'd be doing the least damage of these options.

Vivi, Shantotto or Papalymo LD meltdown. Papalymo with the advantage of having an SB i'd use in a magic party anyway, though for this specific fight he wouldn't be as good because all my other options are physical. Shantotto would be great if i had 3 ability slots for meltdown, chain stonega and memento mori, but without MM she's inferior to Vivi and with it she just burns out too quick. Vivi is probably best bet, chain stonega to build gauge until i can use his default SB, find some way to trance, and then start meltdown. this only requires Ramza USB to soft cap mag and gives 50% dualcast.

honestly half of this banner doesn't even seem like it'd help. Tifa wouldn't do anymore than a LD Prishe, and would only really help with the imperil (but then her own damage would drop off a cliff once en-earth runs out). same thing sorta applies to the other imperil. seems like it'd really just be Ingus CSB, Maria BSB, and maybe Galuf USB that would help (or Bartz with BOTH relics).

as far as i understand FSBs use half an SB bar and are instant cast, allowing for stacking en-element up to x3. UOSBs use 1.5 SB bars and hit a total multiplier around double an OSB, can only used be once per battle. Cloud's is pretty typical, 20 hits then a single overflow hit.

yeah there is a chaser like Tidus USB. seems to be either 4 or 8 hits. i guess it's random which? i dunno, you try and decipher this google translate

"15 wind attributes in enemy unit physical attack + assume wind attributes on themselves for a fixed time + EX mode truth form pursue themselves upwards (medium) + wind attribute Attack when using air [hazard] 4th eight consecutive winds & non-profitable that can break through limit)"

actually from this it seems like maybe only the chaser breaks the damage cap? but that wouldn't really make any sense.

5* wind spellblade is stronger than the BSB2 command, as Kaxon corrected me. but no combat for dualcast. Cloud's BSB2 is on that banner, in any case.

btw new fest banners are known in Japan. new level of CSB is crazy, starting with +50% damage. Cloud gets a UOSB and a new USB with en-wind and the damage cap break both in one, though lacking the other crazy damage boosts i think. and the overall fest features a lot of characters i like. a Squall/Tidus banner and an Ashe/Tifa banner, with Ramza getting one of the new CSBs.

unfortunately there's like, 7 banners i want to pull on in the meantime. the earth banner dropping in a few hours (though i'm probably not pulling on that anymore after seeing what Tifa gets in 6 months), FFIII, FFT, FFV, like three of the third anniversary banners, and FFVI (not the one coming tomorrow, but the one with Celes USB).

if you want to beat stuff in the meantime, you might consider using a haste RW and maybe swapping out some support for more DPS. i often use subpar teams with those RWs to beat 160-180 stuff (the Cid Missions have been 180 for a while now and there are many realms where i have no hastega relic). Eiko/Yuna USBs are heals with hastega attached, there's some BSBs as well, i think Mog and Minwu (but those i think don't have an initial heal, just healing commands). for straight buffs, either Ramza BSB2 or Rikku USB (save the protectga/shellga slots) could also work.

do you have dr mog's teachings and mako might? random drops for Cloud and Tyro after being cap broken a second time (able to go above 65). you want those on Tyro and Yuna to get haste on everyone asap and have an aoe heal ready to go from 2 if needed (assuming Yuna will be using protectga or shellga first).

you'll have to wait a bit for Red XIII and Ramza's buffs this way, but they can use wrath or lifesiphon + one break each. you only need to use breaks every 4 turns (or 3 if one of those turns is a longer-casting action like a soul break). Tidus should also use lifesiphon to start. Tyro is a bit more flexible; usually you can recast haste without any lifesiphon or wrath by the time it's necessary again. you might just use lifesiphon/wrath against bosses that slow, or ones that lack the aoe to target Tyro often enough.

Cloud with his BSB2 will still be much stronger using those commands than the 5* wind spellblade. the multiplier is a bit better in the first place as long as his atk is high enough, and they're classified as combat for the 35% dualcast, unlike the 5* wind spellblade. not sure it's worth a slot over hailstorm/lifesiphon even in a pure wind party.
