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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

Palom SSB.

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

Half off realm dungeons? Time to finally catch up a bit, and get some mythril too! Will look at those banners when I get home from work.

Oh well, something I didn't have for her. And another stat bracer.

Saw the disco ball, then saw the rod and thought it was Vivi USB.

Ended up being Kuja OSB. Still, a new relic and a solid stat stick if nothing else.

Braska BSB
Braska USB

Well, definitely the best draw so far, two new relics, one being a fire boosting staff (not needing synergy). Not sure how often I'll use Braska, but it seems the game wants me to!

1/3 Basch SSB, which is now a 7*

Brutal draws so far, but what can ya do.

And ugh I still need to make a team for Mist Dragon. Either a hybrid team with Sephiroth and Raines as DPS, or physical based, with Sephiroth and _______ as DPS, OK for his pUSB, Ramza as an entrust bot, and Rosa USB for healing. Just not sure who my second dark DPS would be.

Sazh SSB, which I already have a 7* of.

Oh well.

Skipped the FF14 one for the moment, got most of the main prizes from there.

Looking back on it, those were the two RMs that dropped super quickly for me. And yet I'm STILL waiting for Josef's...

Marche USB is great. He's on my shadow dragon team.

Prompto USB dupe

Unsure if I'll keep separate because synergy, or if I'll just combine them anyway.

Finally went and finished the KH event. Holy hell can Cloud pump out damage. If he uses his 3 hit cross slash before SG goes off, it almost always murders someone. Got it though, as my own cloud finished him with a DC omega drive.

Well, it's not a dupe at least, and a better medica than her SSB.

Does the atk/mag breakdown dance stack with the just attack breakdown dance? Or would it overwrite?

Generally speaking any buff that hits the same combination of stats will overwrite itself unless it's a special named buff like an EX Mode or something, and crit chance isn't a stat, so yeah without having actually looked into it explicitly I'm fairly certain that would overwrite.

That was my guess, just wanted to make sure. Thanks!

Question: if I'm using OK pUSB, is there a point using steal power with Bartz? Or is it the same buff?

Went back to try Bismarck and Liquid Flame, to try and sub30 them with OK's pUSB, plus other stuff. Improved my Bismarck time by just over 20 seconds, and can now consistently beat him at about 29. A tad dicey, but not reliant on doublecasting or anything. Improved my time on Liquid Flame by about 12 seconds, beating him at about 25 seconds. LD'ed + USB Bartz spamming engulfing twinstrike, plus LD'ed BSB2 Tidus providing support, is pretty damaging. That leaves Hydra (~44s), and Golem (~50s) as the last two that I need to sub 30 (aside from Mist Dragon, who I still need to try). I did Golem with Alph/Fujin as my DPS, but I think I can do it with a physical team, even with his shenanigans. Cloud and Bartz should be enough. Hydra I'm not sure, Bartz is my main DPS, and I don't really have a good secondary option.

Got my first 4* from a ticket draw, Yang's 4* claws. Still waiting for that elusive 5*.

100 gemmed Cloud's USB also. Now have an 8* fully augmented version. Helpful for the FF 7 realm, and should be quite useful for the jenova synthesis torment........in 6 months.

So of course, I do a draw, and I finally get more than one 5*. Vivi's Oak Staff (dupe), and Cloud's Crimson Edge. So I have his Crimson Edge and Organics now. Which is better?

I just don't pull enough 5* Weapons or 4* Silvers of armor or weapons. Every 10+1 for the last 7 or 8 pulls has been a 5* Weapon, one, two, or (at most) three Silvers, and the rest all bronze. All my tickets have been Bronze.

This is literally me

I assume Cloud's BSB2 will be somewhere in the upcoming fest? I wouldn't dump 300 mythril for the one relic, when you now have a bunch of dupes in there. Though damn, how do you still have that much mythril?!

Finally got down to doing the crystal tower. Some notes:

- God damn Atlas is annoying as fuck. Absolute slog to kill him, and almost bungled it at the end when I mistimed using Rosa's USB (which I had been employing perfectly) so that it blocked his roar instead of crushing grasp. Roar was annoying in its own right, but that crushing grasp that actually hit me almost ruined the run. Thankfully, my DPS combo of Vaan and Raines were enough.

- Since I used Raines on Atlas, I had to go more physical with Vinuskar, meaning I had to hope Larsa got a bunch of soul breaks to block the shitty statuses. I forgot how much Crown hurt too, as I had to S/L a few times when it murdered Larsa in one hit before I hit him with magic breakdown.

- Ultima Weapon's flare star huuuuurts. Had to switch out Refia for Agrias, just so I could add her cleansing strike debuff SB to the battle. That, combined with magic breakdown and full break, got the damage down to about 3-4K each, which was manageable.

- Deathguise was pretty easy, just basically nuked him ASAP with Orlandu and Squall. He died almost instantly after coming back to open-wing stance for the first time.
