For me B4 is a pretty easy pass since I'm pretty committed to Cloud and Zidane for wind. I kinda like Papa but I already have his sync and he only gets a dyad, not a dual awakening. B5 has a lot of stuff I'd like to get though.

Ah well, I guess it makes me not feel too bad about missing her dual awakening. But it sounds like it's still a great relic. Hope I get either Kain's or Noctis's on the next banner so I can try to beat those phy labyrinths.

Might be worth going old school for this one and using Tyro. (a) he can entrust Cloud and (b) there are two DBFBs to counter and Tyro can do it for just one bar.

Beat magic-weak Abductor with my new Rinoa stuff. I actually screwed up and used her new awakening before the sync, which prevented the abilities from linking. It should be much better to use the sync by itself (with the cap break G+) and then the two ice AASBs together.

1/11 - Rinoa ATB sync

2/11 - Garnet awakening, dupe Rinoa awakening

Decent. Didn't get any dual awakenings and didn't get Y'shtola's stuff (I wanted her G+ almost as much as her sync since it would be great when using her for offense on a two moogle team). But getting both of Rinoa's goodies and a cap break for Garnet is solid.

I finally did Transcendent Long Gui. I've been super lazy about the transcendent fights (I still haven't done the Omega and Shin Ryu one from 4th anniversary) but I want to try to knock off the ones that give you mythril at least. Although most of these fights have really tedious gimmicks... when I'm looking at the Warring Triad AI it doesn't sound worth it.

I attempted physical Kraken and got him just under 20% in my best run, but it feels like I don't have enough firepower. I was using Lightning / Fran / Prompto and my better run used Quina while I didn't get as far with Orran... basically these characters just don't do enough damage at this level without a crit fix, even with plenty of imperilling from Prompto and Fran. But Quina not being able to counter Aegis (Blessing of the Deep) is a weakness, plus s/he doesn't add much healing the way Orran does. So I guess I'm hoping to get Kain's dual awakening in the fest? Or if not, then throw tickets at the refreshed FF1 banner hoping for Master's sync...

Shadowsmith's silence is just a minor annoyance since Tyro has that glint that can get rid of it, and he also has astra on his USB1. And now Bonds of Historia II can block it as well.

I did the Core/Beyond ROP because I'm so lacking in that department, got Wedge's sync. I figured it was time to finally beat Shadowsmith so I did that - took two tries, had to kind of learn the fight the first time, then beat him the second time. Tyro's awakening made Wedge switch from magic to physical damage so I had to move him into the front row for the second attempt. My time was 32.50 but I'll wait before trying for the sub 30.

Now I feel like I should try Sandworm, although I had been planning to get more stuff for Fujin in fest.

Wow, I actually did it!

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/4/1/0/AAEagUAACtcK.jpg

Not sure if this should change my pulling plans for fest. But I still like Garnet and there's a second lightning Labyrinth coming pretty soon. I assume Blue Dragon is going to be tougher than Kraken?

Y'shtola can deal damage just fine with two moogles and a decent chain. Her dyad finisher was dealing around 13k per hit + 99k in phase 2. Vivi is still a powerhouse, I used his lit/ice awakening first, then when that expired I used fire awakening for trance + BDL, followed by sync 2. Some of his turns were hitting the 29k cap.

Congrats on the win! I did one try and git him to ~28%. My Vivi died back around 50% though and he's my best DPS.

I wonder if I should try Y'shtola since I do have her Dyad, Sync, and Awakening (and LBO, but I already have Garnet's and Vivi's LBO so that's not much help). I could get farther if I keep Vivi alive, but I'm not sure if I really want to put in more work now or just wait for fest and see if I get more of Garnet's stuff.

I'll probably try magic on day 1. Garnet with her chain, sync, and LBO, Vivi with sync and awakening, and Edge with sync and awakening will be my team for now (with two moogles or Cait+healer). If that's not enough I'm hoping to get more Garnet relics in fest, and maybe Ashe sync 2 (or select Shantotto's sync from the stamp select).

For physical I probably need to wait until Sunday when I can lens Prompto's chain. I have Shelke's chain and awakening but her damage is SO BAD. My DPS is probably Lightning and Delita. I'm not sure if I want to do the half priced banner... I think Queen's sync would be great (I have her awakening) but I'm not that interested in CoD/Shelke.

I lied, was able to beat V as well. I just can't believe how much easier these are now with wait mode. I mean, I had a pretty strong team, but before that didn't matter. In addition to wait mode I also added Mog, who does seem better on mixed team, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised I was able to take down II and V with mixed teams.

I took down XIV and I dragonkings today. Wait mode seems to be helping so much, although I did also change my strategy a bit and save more SB for phase 2. I did have to lens Warrior of Light's awakening so now I can't grab Prompto's chain until next Sunday, but that's okay. I can wait on doing physical Kraken for 3 extra days.

I guess if they're that limited on tactics events I'd rather have them focus on the main characters who need upgrades - Ramza and Delita most importantly, then some combination of Agrias/Orlandu/Marche. Ramza has been bad for a long time which is pretty disappointing. He either needs to go back to being a top tier support or be an actual good DPS. Delita is great but he only has two cap breaks so he should get a dual awakening and dyad.

Does anyone know what the cutoff is on ROP?

I beat Dragonking III!!! I'm not sure how much was due to wait mode and how much was due to the improved Bonds of Historia. But it did seem like wait mode made things easier even though it limited my options (like at one point I had to have Aria defend when I normally would have just waited a few ticks to use her USB after his next action). So it's definitely not pure upside but it might still be a net positive for me. Anyway now I can unlock OK's bonus tiles which was the main point of doing it. And I might try some of the other DKs I really struggled with before.

I haven't tested it yet, but I'm really hoping that astra can block the phase 2 sap in the Dragonking fights. I need to refresh chain there anyway and I've lost so many fights to that turn 5 stun and sap, turn 6 pops my last stand, and sap kills before I get to use an instant healing USB.

I tried out wait mode for the first time on new speed 2. I was really annoyed to see it doesn't wait whenever you're ready to act, it only waits when there's nothing else ready to happen. So you can lose several ticks from other actions, chases, etc. And you can't wait and use an ability after the enemy acts if you want to do that. It did still have some advantages though. I'll probably try a few more times but I'm not sure I'm going to switch to it as my main mode.

Bahamut is sooo annoying. I've been trying the III fight all day, finally had a good run going and got him down to 10%, but the phase 3 memory bite prevented me from refreshing last stand, and he killed my party one turn before OK probably could have finished him with his dyad. I don't really know how I could do this better without Aria's awakening or some other new relic.

I love Vivi but I can't really justify a pull here. I already have his sync2 and I don't really want Kuja or Steiner stuff. But! B2 was a step up in Japan, which seems to mean we get a half price first pull. If that one has Vivi's fire sync I'll be very tempted.

I need to figure out my sync selections. I'm leaning toward Prompto for one of them... I have his awakening and I can lens his chain. I already have Shelke's chain and awakening but her damage is absolutely terrible, like Y'shtola tier or worse.

For the other one I'm not sure. There are lots of DKs I haven't beaten yet (1,2,3,5,11,12,13,14), and my magic wind team needs help, and my magic water team might need help. There aren't many that would help with 2 fights... Meia might, but I don't really want to use her and I don't have the tools for a FF1 magic team.

I was thinking of Rydia's water sync since I already have 2 awakenings and a dyad for her. But now I'm thinking more of wind magic help since that's my worst element team by far, I haven't even beaten that Odin yet. I'm planning to go for Fujin stuff on fest b5 but I think I still need another good wind character. So Ultimecia's sync is one possibility or Terra's could be good.

If I choose solely for DK I'd probably grab Vaan's.
