If there are more vaccinated people than unvaccinated people in the area (which there are in the UK among adults, and it's even more skewed towards older, more vulnerable populations) that is still perfectly consistent with the vaccine providing some protection against death from the delta variant.

(To make this more obvious, imagine that the entire population was vaccinated; clearly in this case all deaths would be among vaccinated people regardless of how protective the vaccine is).

Just barely got Sealion down with only Yda alive

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

I tried again last night and got him down to like 25%. I haven't tried yet with Deuce to actually heal, though.

Surprisingly dying to Sealion counted for the daily, though!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Yeah the issue is that I'm not yet sure if I'll keep Ramza. If it was level 1 lenses I'd just go ahead and grab it, but it looks like it'd knock out half of my level 2s.

They don't use stamina other than the ones where you can bring the main game versions of the characters.

Do you have Ramza's instant cast 1 + full turn 1 ATB Legend Materia yet?

Oh yeah I know they mostly don't use stamina, I just meant from a time perspective. I don't have that Ramza materia, no.

That's correct. Try Warrior's Hymn, instead (5* Bard). It ramps up from +10% to +50% over five casts, and it stacks with everything. Or as was mentioned above, Ode to Victory, which boosts crit rate instead but has the same ramp-up. The downside is, they wear off after only like 10 seconds, so you need to remember to refresh them every 2-3 turns.

Magical parties want Allegro con Moto, the 6* Bard ability, but you'll need 15 Bard Motes to get it.

Hmm okay. Not sure I have enough orbs to make high-hone versions of those yet...!

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

I'm on the 6th island in the first set of record dungeons at the moment (mostly stopped doing them for the last few days to take advantage of half-stamina regular dungeons).

You should be leveling up your frequently used characters to 99 so they get Magia points. You'll also want Tyro and Orlandeau's level 99 RM asap.

You should have enough for 1 usb. You should get Deuce's Platinum Piccolo, aka an Elara clone. Her's has a healing party chase after bard/white magic ability.

Alright, I used eggs to take them from like 90 to 99 and replaced Snow with Deuce. What abilities should I be using on her? Fire magic and rallying etude, subbing fire for a single target heal if needed?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Uhh not sure, I have about 6k level 2 lenses and 1.4k level 3 lenses.

I don't have anyone at level 99 yet

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

My team is still Tyro/Yda/Snow/Terra/Ramza at the moment. I have Dr. Mog's teachings on Yda.

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

SSJSephirothGokuX123 posted...

Ah that would explain it. Magicite are way stronger than event bosses so I guess it's Dena's warning or something.

You gonna tackle Sealoin first since you have Yda's sync?

Got it to about 50% before it murdered me! ...which I guess still gives me some rewards?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Welp apparently it unlocked as soon as I managed to beat the 220 FFVIII event for some reason!

Ahh yeah in the info screen for magicite dungeons it lists book of trials IV and any 220 dungeon as requirements

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Neither of those did anything, so I'm out of ideas :\

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Everything has "MASTER" on it as far as I can tell

I tried reclearing one (though not the same one as the last one I beat where the game crashed; I should probably try that as well) and nothing happened.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

There's nothing in the middle for me, but all of the lines are lit up

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Hrm, I thought it was supposed to unlock magicite dungeons once I beat all of the nightmare dungeons, but nothing happened (I'm a bit worried because my game froze after I beat the last one and I had to force quit, so I'm not sure if I skipped a trigger or something).

You can get Vivi's dualcast USB at the Record Laboratory and have him use Ultima under it to cheese Havoc Skytank.

Ah I actually just managed to do it with just Tyro+Terra with a faithga RW, Syldra/meteor/wrath and spamming Tyro's aoe heal/Terra's aoe fire SBs. Very annoying boss!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

I now have all of the nightmare dungeons done besides this stupid Havoc Skytank (and the one its blocking). Is there any cheap way to clear this while only having two semi-decent ranged attackers?

DoomTheGyarados posted...

You should start with wisdom it is weak to fire. Others resist fire.

Hmm okay, Ill try that later.

Also it's better to focus on a single damage type (physical/magic) on teams, you don't have any fire physical attacks to go with Yda?

I don't think so. Maybe somebody with a random crappy 5* relic.

I can currently clear almost all of the nightmare dungeons I try (unless they have a dumb gimic like no melee); 4* mote seems to just have insane defense though. Even boosting as much as a can Yda can't do more than 2-3k a hit.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Nah I don't have anything for Onion Knight. Does anybody using a fire ability generate a chakra? I could easily throw fire abilities on Terra or Tyro.

Make sure you're playing on speed 1. Main cause I see for players failing on easier content is they've got the speed cranked too high and are giving the baddies extra actions for no reason. Like right now the soul breaks and stuff are so power creeped that new players should be whomping d140s no problem with like 2 relic draws

Wait mode also works but ideally you wanna learn how to play on speed 1 active as wait mode wastes a lot of time for damage optimization

I think I have it on 3? 1 seemed painfully slow.

SSJSephirothGokuX123 posted...

Are putting Mako Might/Dr. Mogs Teaching on Yda? She should destroy the mote dungeons bosses by herself if you have her sync. Even better if you have fire using allies.

Yeah I have one of them on Yda and one on Ramza for Shout.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

The 4* mote dungeon destroyed me, so I guess I cant farm them yet...!

Are waters limited?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

I am using some motes/waters, but Im probably being a bit too conservative holding off on using them on characters Im not sure will be in my team long term. And yeah I got Ydas armor from the banner which has been helping a lot.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Finally managed to kill the 140 enemy in the FFII event that had previously been wrecking me!

Wonder if Ill have any luck with the 180...

Edit: oh the 180 was actually easier...!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Oh nice maybe I can actually get enough stamina shards to continuously spam dungeons again now that theyre half price

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Very helpful, thanks!

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Okay, I did two pulls off of the XIV banner and I guess Im using Yda now!

I also should probably add a real healer to my team...

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Is there an easy way to tell in-game what "tier" different relics with the same number of stars are?

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Hmm okay, good to know. I assumed that the current banners were better, but I wasn't sure if they were enough better to justify spending 50 mythril instead of 15 when I don't have much of anything.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

I did several of these 15 mythril elemental pulls and got a few 6* relics for some characters I don't even have:

Femme Fatale (I) [Meia]
Guard Staff (FFT) [Montblanc]
Fujin's Moon Ring (VIII) [Fujin]

Are any of those worth actually using that character? Currently the only character I have with a 6* is Snow (Wild Jaguar); I did switch out Galuf for him to make use of that SB and it was worth it.

On another note, what do I do with all of this low rarity equipment filling up my inventory? I went ahead and traded in all of my 1* and 2* stuff for rainbow shards, but I also have a ton of 3* stuff; googling suggested that maybe some of it could be situationally useful for realm bonuses until I got more 5*s, but I don't know if that's outdated.

---

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

That actually sounds a lot worse for people catching up (unless they also upped the regen rate); having 999 at the start would be nice, but at 70ish stamina (about where you stop being able to continuously regen from stamina leveling up) its only like 13 more levels to match that, and then after that youd be better off under the current system

(unless of course youre blowing through mythril/stamina potions, which would be much stronger with a 999 cap)

Unrelatedly, I was surprised to see just how insanely expensive gems were in this game. I find it kind hard to believe that charging people 50 bucks for an 11 artifact draw is the revenue maximizing rate...!

I downloaded this a year or two ago and only played for like an hour or so at the time. I came back to it a few days ago and man, that transition once the story dungeons stop dropping two stamina shards each and you actually have to wait for it to recharge after having gotten used to just playing continuously is rough.

And Im seeing now that J&J appointments are already being cancelled (on the government side). So dumb.

Looking into it is fine

Recommending a pause on using the vaccine is insane though. This is literally a (slightly) less than one in a million occurrence even if the clots really were caused by the vaccine. Delaying the doses for a few weeks while they figure it out, on the other hand, will surely mean many more than a handful of preventable deaths do, in fact, occur.

Yeah a lot of the difference is that the mRNA vaccines were undergoing large trials in an environment where covid was less prevalent and we had less virulent variants.

That accounts for some difference, but not all of it. Pfizers newest data still has it being over 90% effective even with variants now prevalent:

The Pfizer/Moderna vaccines are pretty clearly better than J&J, but J&J is a lot better than nothing. If I was unvaccinated and offered J&J I'd probably wait a short period of time if I was guaranteed to be able to get an mRNA vaccine instead (like maybe a week or two), but otherwise I'd take it and look into getting one of the other ones in a few months after everyone else had had an opportunity to be vaccinated.

Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ!

Pfizer has now requested an emergency use authorization for its vaccine for 12-15 year olds, so hopefully thatll get approved by the time supply is outpacing demand with vaccines open to all adults
