Went through the whole Locke event today, as I'm catching up on events (doing all the rematch dungeons tomorrow). I'm glad they're actually trying to buff the jump start dungeons now, taking away Ultima Weapon's fire weakness and buffing his stats. Was still easy, but actually had to plan a tad.

Ingus BSB

Well, it's something new and I think it's supposed to be solid. I can also RW whichever OK USB I need, so I'm not upset about it. The Orlandu USB saving begins!

Rafa SSB (already have a 7* of it)
Wakka SSB
Lion LMR

Some FF 11 synergy, which is decent. Got 46 mythril, will get up to 50 and take one shot at the OK USBs banner, and then save for Orlandu USB.

Yeah I think it's better than the Burst one probably, which I will be drawing on

I just happen to be stacked on healing soul breaks. I probably have about half the relics on the banner, and it'd be the better half at that.

There we go. Chris Brown the workhouse. How did eric Johnson have a rushing touchdown? I assume he was put in at fullback for a goal line play. Either way, pack and lions lose, and we win so that we're 3-4 going into the bye. Need a strong second half of the season!

Beat the damn thing, full medals too. Just the timing at the end caused a few S/Ls. Barba was a fucking slog, only got complete, didn't bring enough damage. Going to finish the last two, then come back and destroy her for the mastery rewards.

I believe it's crushing grasp that is his dispel move. It's scripted, though still annoying, and can kinda be dealt with. His first one will hit only front row, his next will hit back row, etc. @DoomTheGyarados , I sent you a PM sorta outlining his pattern, hopefully it helps!

Also does anyone have time and patience to help me sort out my shit or give me a great resource to do so? I have been farming for a little bit now and pulling on banners for stuff I like but I could use someone who could sit down with my full list of quality relics and to give me some good teams to build or a good guide for me to read up on. There's so much stuff flying around and I want to get better but I think my lack of understanding is kicking my ass.

Cloud's USB is arguably more useful as an RW than it is native (unless you have the BSB2 combo.

Regardless, if you PM me your list of SSB and above relics, I will gladly help you out. Wouldn't mind levels of most characters too, if possible. If not, all good. I know you've already been offered help, so all good if you go with that too/instead, but I'll gladly help if needed.

Younger than I thought. I think some cuts this past offseason contributed to that, and 1 or 2 looming retirements will as well.

Improved my liquid flame time to 36.83. Going to finally try Fenrir today I think.

Also, I think I'll skip the healer draw, but definitely draw on the other two.

FINALLY got the last Taharka Magicite to drop from Sealion. Got a new best time of 23.46 also. So never have to fight it again. Debating whether to start farming Liquid Flame or try Hydra/Fenrir for the first time.

Not changing this sig until the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the grey cup. Started Aug. 16/04

Can consistently murder Sealion at around 25-27 seconds. Thinking I can still tweak it a bit, but I'm satisfied. Just need 2 more Taharka's to drop, then I'm done with it. With my luck, I'll have to fight him 10 more times for that to happen (though he was pretty gracious in dropping 3 Wendigos in a row when I needed them).

I think I'll farm Liquid Flame next, as I have Bartz USB/water BSB, and Tidus LMR+BSB2. With Ramza using Shout and Onion Knight as a battery for either of them, shouldn't be too difficult. Still have yet to take down Hydra or Fenrir, but I think once I get Gladio to 99, I can combine him and Bartz for Hydra.

Another year, another experience of multiple DTs going down. This time combined with multiple safeties. Ugh, not ideal.

Not changing this sig until the Winnipeg Blue Bombers win the grey cup. Started Aug. 16/04

I'm looking forward to next year for the Bears. Mitch having a full offseason as the starter, Meredith hopefully coming back healthy, stocking the receiving corps a bit, and building off the many solid rookie performances (Mitch, Cohen, Shaheen, Jackson, Robertson-Harris). And hopefully not losing 50 players to IR. They need an elite passrusher to be opposite of Leonard Floyd. Though even Floyd can't stay healthy, McPhee's best days are behind him, and no one else can stay healthy or is good enough.

I have hopes for this team next year though. Just have to stay healthy and give Mitch some weapons. Oh, and a new head coach would be appreciated as well!

Edit: Also, I fully anticipate the Bears losing to the Browns. I was praying they would beat the Packers, just so that the threat of going 0-15 wouldn't be there (and to laugh my ass off at the Pack of course). Even though the Bears basically shut down AJ Green (with help from Dalton not throwing well), I expect Josh Gordon to murder them.

Crystal tower is seriously my favorite addition to this game in a long time, or maybe ever.

It's sufficiently hard, without being over-the-top, and it takes an amount of teambuilding and party-balancing, that's just not found anywhere else.

Totally agree with this. Going to make my teams tonight I think.

Personally I have better DPS when Bartz has his dualcast spellblade Record Materia over a damage boosting one, but that's if you're capping or near capping damage. He tends to dualcast more often and can potentially triple cast (and his Legend Materia relics stacks on top of that)

Also I don't bring protectga when sub 30ing Sealion (need shellga through!) Though that's probably because I'm using a mage team.

I've thought about not bringing protectga, but I think I would just get hammered if he does savage wing a few times. After VoF, steal power, and his USB, blazing quadstrike hits for about 7500 each shot (that's with the +fire damage RM).

Kaxon posted...

Definitely cast VoF before Protectga, you want to get your hastega up as early as possible.

Yeah, I'm thinking this can definitely help. Just need to hope Sealion doesn't focus on the same character a few times.

I know I can better my time on Liquid Flame, since I got Tidus's BSB2 and LMR, as well as Bartz's USB and water BSB. Beaten Golem and Bismark already as well. Still have Hydra and Fenrir to do. Squall only has his USB and unique SB that gives him enIce, though I have Ayame with her BSB. For Hydra, I have Bartz USB, as well as Tifa OSB and USB (though I don't think either gives her enEarth). I'm pretty sure I just drew Gladio's BSB a little bit ago, so maybe egging him to 99 could work.

I guess Carr got hurt, Luck came in and threw a TD pass then got hurt, then Weeden came in? And yet they're all healthy for week 4. Interesting.

Sub 30ed my first magicite, Sealion. Bartz, Refia, Ramza, Onion Knight, Rosa. 29.29 seconds.

Ramza entrusts Bartz then lifesiphon entrusts Refia over and over, Refia uses RW then meteor crush, then either fires within or BSB if it's ready, Bartz uses steal power then USB then Blazing Quadstrike, OK uses protectga, VoF, then Smoldering Fire, Rosa wraths and uses USB.

Bartz, Refia, and OK all have 2 pieces of fire gear each. I'd love to have it so that OK is the battery and Ramza can Shout so Bartz/Refia have the 50% boost rather than 30%, but I need both protectga and shellga up.

Bartz is fully LDed, and getting sub 30 depends on doublecasts and hopefully some 8 strike chases (got only one in my sub 30 run, but a few double casts). Suggestions on how to make it less RNG dependent?

Edit: Bartz is using Vivi's "much more fire damage" RM, while Refia has Tyro's "much more using elemental weakness" RM, if that helps at all.
