Ultimaphazon 02/11/22 12:25:56 AM #24 | Where's Terranigma? I have only played Lufia 2, SoE, and Grandia among this list, and Lufia easily takes the win here. It's so good. |

Ultimaphazon 02/09/22 10:20:55 AM #31 | Indiana Jones: 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 Die Hard: 1 > 3 > 2 > 4 > 5 I think those are pretty close to consensus. |

Ultimaphazon 12/31/21 3:31:57 AM #494 | It's sad that the banner with all returning relics appeals to me more than the ones with the new tech. I'm doing 5 pulls for Bartz wardrobe, but I'm still not sure which banners, other than B5, I really want to pull on. |

Ultimaphazon 12/29/21 2:07:07 AM #448 | Yes. If there's an element where you can't clear both physical and magical, you can just clear one version twice to get the seal on both Odins. |

Ultimaphazon 12/28/21 2:42:53 PM #439 | Got all missions done right away, so that's 5 tickets. I'm saving the elemental / realm tickets until the refresh, which we should get early next year. Highlights from those 5 tickets: Vincent LBO Edgar AASB1 Gogo V AASB1 (I was gonna lens this after this fest, so that saves 3000 lenses) Decil AASB (dupe - 3/15) |

Ultimaphazon 12/26/21 3:25:14 AM #422 | 1/3 Leila AASB Not bad at all. I was torn whether I should pull on the LD, but I couldn't resist. 2/11 - Bartz 1 (dupe - 3/15), Ward (dupe - 11/15) Man, that fucking Ward AASB, I can't believe it. I'm this close to having it fully honed, just from drawing so many copies on various RoPs, ticket banners, or LDs. |

Ultimaphazon 12/22/21 6:31:11 AM #414 | I finally got my last Transcendant fight (Chaos) done this fest. Those fights really can be a huge pain. RoP gave me Strago's BDL Glint+. It's basically a Dyad, so that's very nice. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/20/21 2:54:50 PM #402 | Big news from the JP side of the game: - New magicites Neo Bahamut (probably easier than Lab Nexus) and Bahamut Zero (new endgame), like Odin those will come for all 8 (9?) elements, so I guess, like Odin, you'll be able to inherit their passives from one version to the other - New realm content Historia Crystal level caps increase to 140, so keep hoarding those rat tails. 2 difficulty levels Also some kind of new chain relics that can increase the maximum chain count if there's already a chain active, but those don't really seem all that amazing based on the description. |

Ultimaphazon 12/19/21 12:14:13 AM #398 | Got Garnet's lightning Sync. That's the first pull this season that really, REALLY, pleases me. I don't know how reasonably she can be a chain holder and cast 2 different BDLs (the SB G+ helps), so if all else fails, she could even end up switching fully to damage duties. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/17/21 1:14:09 AM #377 | SSJSephirothGokuX123 posted... CoD is actually one of the best lightning mages now if you combine her awakenings since dark & lighting is a diffrent mode from darkness and her new lighting/dark HA can be used like Squall and Lightning's awakening combo where it can triplecast with both awakenings are active.Oh, I didn't realize that. I have her AASB1 so I could do that combo, but I'm worried because she'd be pretty much dead weight after those 15 seconds. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/17/21 12:28:20 AM #372 | Congrats on the day 1 Kraken kill. I got Aphmau's Sync from RoP. She is now complete (except 2 of her LMRs) and she still sucks. I also did the 25 mythril draw on the lightning banner. 4/11: CoD AASB2 2, Shelke AASB2, Shelke Dyad CoD AASB2 is nice. Might not be that great for Lightning teams (great for dark though), but considering the quality of my magic lightning team I'll still take it. I'm not sure how well Shelke does as a dps, but I now have both AASBs for her and the Dyad (which doesn't seem to give BDL) so maybe she can do some work. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/14/21 4:19:11 AM #349 | I only had her USB1, and I didn't bother lensing her USB2. The boss uses some fire abilities, so the Fire Stoneskin is definitely useful. USB2 seems better, but I'm not sure how well it works for this fight. The boss loves his Sap, so the Regenga will be quickly overwritten. IC1 is cool, but is it better than a 100% Fire Shield? I really don't know. |

Ultimaphazon 12/14/21 3:08:09 AM #347 | Not having a good RoP this fest: T: Delita LMR XV: Gladio G+ dupe XIV: Alphinaud USB3 In other news, I got the last 2 Dreambreakers sub-30'd (III and Core), so that difficulty is officially finished. 2 more Bahamuts remain to beat (I and T), and a bunch of them to sub-30. And obviously lots of Labyrinth bosses. |

Ultimaphazon 12/12/21 2:21:27 PM #338 | Desch really should have gotten a 5-hit Imperil HA. He would have been the perfect candidate as a chain holder. He even has Machinst access, so it would have fit thematically, and he already had some imperil SBs. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/12/21 1:45:15 PM #336 | Speaking of Tactics, I'd like Marche to get a HA and something better than his Awakening. I used to like him for his speed tricks, but Healing Smite really doesn't cut it anymore. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/11/21 1:50:21 AM #331 | I can never resist RoP. I have pulled way too many useful relics in past fests to stop with that now. Got Cinque Sync 2, which doesn't seem bad. It has some kind of BDL shenanigans at least. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 12/09/21 3:51:17 PM #314 | If your Lightning teams are strong enough, why not. But it's absolutely not necessary to go in order against WOdin. You have an additional empower Lightning for that fight compared to other elements, but that's not nearly as important as it was on previous magicites. |

Ultimaphazon 12/06/21 2:49:45 PM #271 | I'm really not sure why, but Tidus was doing absolutely awful damage, to the point where I thought I had the wrong RM equipped. Sure, Rikku had her Hero Artifact, but when friggin Rikku does more damage than Tidus, something's fishy. Paine Sync as the lone cap break to get through phase 1, while everyone else just builds gauge. Paine AASB, Yuna AASB1, Tidus AASB1 and Rikku AASB got me through phase 2 and around 5% HP left when the second chain ran out. So I cast the final chain and finished him off. Paine AASB for guaranteed w-cast HA and the overstrike chase on Tidus AASB made sure even 7 hits to break King's Rage wasn't a problem. |

Ultimaphazon 12/03/21 1:58:17 PM #258 | I'm kinda tempted by the FFIX banner. Kuja would be a big miss, but most other relic could potentially be useful for elemental content. What's mostly stopping me is that I already sub-30'd IX Bahamut, so it kinda feels like a waste to pull on IX. Feels like there have to be better upcoming banners to help my weaker elements. |

The only thing I know of, are actually lower difficulty fights https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/114492-final-fantasy-record-keeper/79652436 (Post 2) Says they're adding D580, while the current fights are D650.

Ultimaphazon 11/24/21 9:10:38 AM #175 | Nice pull. Alphi with Sync and AASB is a very competent wind mage. I keep pulling garbage on this banner. Desch AASB is still my only non-lenseable new relic. |

Ultimaphazon 11/24/21 2:38:06 AM #173 | Magicite passives stack multiplicatively with everything else. Empower 15 3 empowers = +27% 4 empowers = +29% If 1 Empower 18 is possible (right now only Water and Fire) 3 empowers = +30% 4 empowers = +32% If 2 Empower 18 are possible (sometime in the future) 3 empowers = +30% 4 empowers = +33% The 4th empower really doesn't do much, but the question is what else you want to put there. Not to mention, that 2% can be the difference between breaking savage mode or not breaking it, which snowballs your damage output. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 11/24/21 1:36:29 AM #171 | The issue with magicite decks is that nobody agrees about what's best anymore. I currently have - double Wards on Odin - double empower on offensive 6* - HP Boon and Healing boon on defensive 6* I like it, but I think double empower might be a bit of a waste with Odin Seals and 6* blessings also around. |

Ultimaphazon 11/20/21 11:14:50 AM #106 | 1/10 Noctis AOSB1 - new, but basically worthless I figured it was easier to redo a Bahamut I already vleared, than trying to beat a new one. So I wwnt back to FFVII Bahamut and got a fairly easy sub-30. 3/10 all dupes Rufus LMR, Vincent CSB, Wol AOSB (3/10) I used my ticket on Core and got Tyro's Sync |

Ultimaphazon 11/19/21 1:30:17 AM #91 | Free Sync was Fujin, so that's great. It has extra BDL on its cmd 2, I love those kinds of syncs. Too bad that I've already beaten VIII Bahamut and Sandworm, but I think there's already another wind-weak lab boss in JP, so there's something to look forward to. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 11/17/21 1:38:43 AM #77 | I won't try for a day 1 clear, but I feel like both should be doable. Magic Strago - Sync+AASB Onion Knight - Sync, AASB, Dyad Gogo - I will lens his AASB and Chain if I don't randomly pick them up somewhere Cait Sith Mog Physical Lion - Dyad, Sync, AASB Paine - Sync, AASB, Chain Rikku - CSB, AASB Tyro (Dyad, AASB) or Orran (AASB, Sync) Elarra I don't really like Rikku there, since her damage is underwhelming, Lion should already provide sufficient imperil, and even chain duty could be covered by Paine. However, I think Paine would rather be a dps than chain, so I don't really see an alternative. Besides, my next best character is Tidus with AASB+Dyad, which isn't enough power for fights like this. Or possibly Bartz with a bunch of stuff, but without dedicated water SBs. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 11/16/21 3:13:32 AM #64 | Congrats on the Ifrit kill. Ramuh was really bad on release, because his damage output was through the roof, and he punished you hard if you didn't have empowered infusion at a time where Syncs really weren't common. Powercreep probably caught up to him more than any other 6* magicite. Absolutely agree on physical supports just not being on the same level as mage supports. I think the best is probably Quina with its Sync and preferably AASB for 30 seconds of QC, and Elarra with USB2/Sync2. I don't have Quina Sync, so I can't really test it, but that seems like it should work best |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 11/15/21 3:36:57 PM #56 | Omg, finally! After a full weekend of suffering, this bastard is done. Burn in hell, you fucking asshole. The first difficulty was figuring out how to survive until the dispel without using an Elarra SB, so I could counter the dispel with her AASB. The solution was actually having Elarra defend on her turn 2. I still needed either a heal chase on Lili's turn 3 dance or a w-cast of Elarra's HA on turn 3, but that wasn't too unreasonable. I used Lion Dyad and Prishe AASB to get through phase 1. This got me out of phase 1 just before the end. Lilisette AASB at around 20 seconds so it would last through phase 2. Phase 2, I unleashed everything else I had: - Lion Sync and AASB for the double cap-break, which also allowed breaking King's Rage in phase 3. - Elarra Sync2 for the crit damage and USB1 when I needed it to remove some souls - Lili cast the chain, sped everyone up thanks to her AASB, USB to remove 2 souls before Sphere Ray. She countered the phase 3 Fullbreak with her Sync. - Prishe used her Sync, then spammed C1 until phase 3, where she used C2 instead - Ayame went Glint into AASB, used Hailstorm once, then switched to Frost-touched Blade spam I had ungodly w-cast luck this time, so I got him to ~1% on that second chain. He died shortly after, without needing a 3rd chain. |

Ultimaphazon 11/12/21 1:15:01 AM #51 | 100 mythril: 4/11: Lili AASB dupe (5/15), Lion Sync dupe (3/5), Lili LBS, Lion Dyad 2/11: Prishe Sync, Lili Sync That went very well. I actually feel this might be good enough for a Bahamut win now: Prishe AASB, Sync, AOSB Lion AASB, Sync, Dyad Lilisette AASB, Sync, LBS Ayame AASB, AOSB (clearly the weak link) Elarra AASB, Sync1 or 2 Any other Bahamut, it wouldn't even be a question if that's good enough, but IX is so damn tanky. I probably want to get Lilisette's and Prishe's HA, but I'm swimming in Sapphires anyway. |
Topic | Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder |
Ultimaphazon 11/11/21 6:25:31 AM #42 | I might. I see little hope of beating XI Bahamut with my current tech (believe me, I tried), but I have 3 dupes on banner 1, which is a littly risky. Unfortunately, banner 1 doesn't really help with the realm's biggest issue, which is Aphmau being dogshit. You can try using an off-realm healer, but Lilisette is no Mog, as far as supports go. |

Ultimaphazon 11/06/21 6:17:41 PM #29 | I actually got a free AASB from today's daily draw. It was only Shelke, so I doubt this will be very useful any time soon, but that was still a nice surprise. |

Ultimaphazon 11/05/21 2:16:54 AM #19 | Physicap AASB: Ignis AASB2 (fullbreak counter) Magic AASB: Barbariccia AASB 2 more tickets on IV Ursula LMR, Rydia AASB2 2 different Porom LMRs (one of them s dupe), Ursula USB2 (looks like good utility), Pecil AOSB dupe (3/10) 3 new AASBs is very nice. That Rydia AASB2 might be just what I needed to finally take down that stupid IV Bahamut, as I should now finally have a reliable way of breaking King's Rage if I combine AASB1+AASB2. |

Ultimaphazon 11/04/21 1:10:00 PM #499 | All 3 tickets on IV, yet again 1/11 Ceodore AASB 1/11 Ursula AASB (that shit's already 5/15 just from realm tickets) 1/11 Cecil LMR (not a good one) Well, at least Ceodore AASB is nice, since I have his holy chain, and he's now unquestionably the better pick over Ramza for the upcoming physical holy lab. |

Ultimaphazon 11/04/21 2:18:24 AM #494 | Faris BUSB has an Aegis counter on it, or you can just try to power through it. Your dps takes a hit during those 24 seconds, but if your wind team is good enough, you can still pull it off. I just ignored the Aegis buff on all physical Odins. Physical wind sucks for having 2 of them, but even that can be overcome. |
