Board 8 > Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 32.5: Previous topic got sent to the Farplane

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh thank god I finally got the Gunblade Record Materia as well from the Tri Point dungeon! Thankfully Lionheart isn't realm specific.
---

Eh? Looks like we're actually going to get the Jihl event on Thursday.

https://www.ffrkcentral.com/blog/2017/06/06/upcoming-in-app-announcement-event-coming-soo-31

That's weird, apparently Meia isn't in Global Mobius yet which is probably why that event is being delayed (or possibly removed) but they're also skipping the FF6 and 9 events as well.

We'll have to wait and see after the maintenance datamining to find out what the order of the next events are.
---

Meia has already appeared in Mobius itself awhile ago. She's just not playable yet until later on, that's probably when they'll give us the next Mobius event.
---

2/11

Gafgarion SSB
Zell BSB

I have Gaf's burst also, so the extra 10 attack will help. Zell's burst is quite good right? Especially the instant part of it?
---

2/11 Alphinaud's SSB and Krile's crappy SSB (not Sheepsong).

Fairly disappointing. I already have more Radiant Shield on Vincent BSB, mor Atk&Mag buffs than I'll ever need, and Mrile's better Sheepsong SSB.
---

Twintania mastered.

Bartz (86): Lifesiphon, Steal Power, OSB
Vaan (81): Lifesiphon, Thief's Revenge, BSB
Tyro (99): Magic Breakdown, Full Break, SG
Raines (99): Wrath, Memento Mori, BSB
Yuna (99): Ultra Cure, Shellga, USB

RW: Vessel of Fate

An unmitigated AOE physical attack almost did me in before SG went up a second time, but weathered the AOE barrage and killed him. Hindsight, maybe should've used my heavier hitters at level 99 instead of Bartz, but Hand of the Crystals did 60k twice, so that was helpful. Not that bad, definitely not nearly as annoying as Iron Clad. Was a fun, tough, battle, just like it should be.
---

I am going to skip this lucky draw as crazy as that may sound. I am pretty good in these realms and really in need of some more mythril for the event.
---

1/11

Galuf BSB
---

2/11

Seifer SSB and Krile OSB. Makes my third OSB (the other two being Tidus and Orlandeau).
---

1/11 dupe hat

Better here then later?
---

FFXIV Spoilers. Like super spoilers to the point where even if you have completed all the latest FFXIV storyline (actual XIV not FFRK XIV), this is still a huge spoiler

Seems like one of our most used White Mages just got offed in an expansion launch trailer of all things. There's a chance it's just bait but it doesn't certainly doesn't look good. Like sword to the face and blood splattered face after her bubble shatters not good

New schedule was datamined.

https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/6g0uid/dates_dates_dates_8_june_update

Cloud USB banner on the 4th of July huh. We got a month of hoarding mythril for it after all the the Lucky Draws (through we still have 3 more possibly for Extreme Fest.)
---

My problem is that I've always been more interested in the Lightning / Raines banner. Not enough mythril after all those LDs.

I forgot, did we already get the 15 mythril for that Kain minigame?
---

I think so, there's going to be a FFPortal mythril bonus soon through at least.
---

Tossed 50 mythril at the Nightmare Select banner. 4/11

Faris USB (dupe)
Faris USB (dupe again)
Yuna BSB
Aeris SSB

Finally something for Aeris, and Yuna's BSB to go along with literally everything else I have for her, outside of Tiny Bee. Will still likely use her USB, but this gives her the extra 10 mind at least. Made one of Faris's USB a 7*, kept the other one separate as I don't have many armor choices for that realm.
---

Throwing everything at Ramza

Agaris's is also tempting, but Ramza is almost perpetually in my Raid team
---

Black Mage Nightmare 3/11

Maria SSB
Vincent SSB
Fujin SSB

Maria's is useless since I have her BSB. Vincent's is fine, gives me a needed mage relic for FF7. Fujin's instant wind is really good, I'm now set for any wind weak bosses.

Realm Dungeon 5/11(!)

Thancred SSB
Oveila SSB (3rd unique relic for her)
Irvine SSB
Papalymo BSB
Galuf BSB

really good haul here. I'm loaded on FF5 and FF8 and get some needed help in FF14.

Skipping Nightmare Select. I might do White Mage nightmare and try to get a medica BSB since the two white mage bursts I have are offensive.
---

Congrats on getting Papalymo's burst, I have it as well and it does insane damage if you get him to deal 6 hits. And he's going to get a Legend Materia later that gives him 35% chance to doublecast fire spells!
---

387 MAG no synergy, 512 synergized at level 80. Hope that's enough for 6 hits!
---

Nah, he needs like 900-ish I think, faithgas stack through. I uses Ley Lines/Vessel of Fate RW, Native Raines BSB and Papalymo's second command I get 5/6 hits depending on the realm.

100 Gems Serah's Metorblaze!

Decided to do a pull since Cloud's USB still has plenty of time

3/11

Jihl Burst!

Lightning's Legend Materia

Cid Raines' super

New burst and armor! Very nice! Hummm, I don't have any Lightning Sould Breaks through, looks like I'm still checked for a burst for every FF13 mage.
---

Lightning is my favourite character

Is her usb worth anything
---

Ugh. I have massive regrets right now.
I literally spent all my remaining mythril on the XIII banner. I got 1/11 on all three draws, and none of my most wanted relics either.

Raines SSB, Nabaat BSB, Nabaat SSB.
---

Looks like we're getting Full Throttle (changed to Jump Start) tomorrow https://www.ffrkcentral.com/blog/2017/06/09/upcoming-in-app-announcement-new-event-coming-11

I didn't know about Record Synergy+ through, that's pretty cool though granted seems like it was done to promote more draws for synergy.
---

2/11 - Serah Super, Jihl Super

Jesus fucking christ. That's now TEN pulls in a row of nothing but Supers (23/110 across that period) . This is getting beyond ridiculous.

EDIT: Sorry 22 Supers, 1 Ultra (Tyro). Still ridiculous.

Considering the luck you've had in FE Heroes, you just can't catch a break.
---

I'm having awful luck in the other mobile game I play too (Valkyrie Connect). As I'm also 10 multipulls in that without seeing a banner item (basically like when you could get off banner stuff in FFRK).

At some point it's going turn around but yeah it's rough right now.

I'm not even playing FE Heroes anymore. At least in FFRK and Valkyrie Connect, I'm getting some rainbow stuff rather than nothing at all like in FEH.

Finally got around to pulling on the Black Mage Nightmare Lucky Draw. Shocked myself with a whopping 5/11, none of it dupes.

Matoya's Broom (Matoya BSB)
Bablizz Mirage (Reynn BSB)
Keeper's Tome (Tyro BSB)
Seraphic Rod (Echo SSB)
Radiant Robe (Fusoya SSB)

No idea how useful they are but I'm a pretty casual player anyway so it probably doesn't matter.
---

Woah another 100 gem rainbow! :o

Snow's Legend Materia!

Uh

I thought this jump battle was supposed to be hard

Second try beat it but forgot to lower his stats

Third try mastered

Used cid Raines super twice to Lower holy resistance, Agaris's burst once to lower it a third time then

TCG Burst+OSB+OSB
Agaris OSB+OSB

And Ramza USB+Shout+USB to give me instant cast times on Ysthola Asylums and OSBs


...

On second thought maybe my team is just absurdly stacked for this battle
---

With synergy boost+, no need for soul break gage boosts and three bars you can kill him before he starts going bullet hell.

The Apocalypse+ is the hard version, that one is pure BS. It's too damn fast, and I had to rely on Kain's BSB+ Lightning Dive for dps, I beat him but I couldn't kill it before it used 4 Ultimate Retaliatory Strike 4 times so I only got expert >:/
---

Apoc+ is pretty lame, yeah. I had several S/Ls due to getting someone ganked while I was still trying to put mitigation up. I ended up throwing Gilgamesh's RM4 (Haste+Protect+Shell) on my healer just to give them a fighting chance.

I recommend having all offensive characters Defend until you get Protect and Wall up. Then have your support Defend while your Lifesiphon characters attack them until you're at three meters. After that you can actually get started.
---

Jesus Proudclod is a jerk

How do i even beat this?
---

For Proudclod, I went with as much defense as I could get: Wall, Protectga, and Ramza's BSB.

I purposely held off on using Shout to make sure my Lifesiphons on Ramza (BSB, Shout), Lightning (OSB) and Fang (Atk&Mag down SSB) didn't drop him too low.

I built 3 gauges on Lightning before dropping the boss to crazy mode. Then she used a Lightning USB RW, and 3 quick-cast 99.999 OSBs later, with some Lightning Dives from Fang, the boss was dead.
---

I used gems to do another draw on the second FF13 banner, got Vanille's burst and Fang's second burst! =D

Maybe I can try to master Prod Clod today if I swap Vaan for Ramza and use Lightning BSB2 as a RW like I did with the FF8 Apocalypse.
---

SSJSephirothGokuX123 posted...

Nah, he needs like 900-ish I think, faithgas stack through. I uses Ley Lines/Vessel of Fate RW, Native Raines BSB and Papalymo's second command I get 5/6 hits depending on the realm.

I have all of those. Do you use both Ley Lines and VoF or just one?
---

Depends on the fight, I don't have either of them native (I tend to use Ley Lines more often since I have Papalymo use chain ____ if the boss has a weakness to build meter faster, I have him use VoF to spam swiftspells to build meter if they don't have a weakness.) Also make sure to mote and use a MCIII on him, after level 80 he make big magic stat gains, he has the second highest magic stat after Shantoto at level 99.

I Cid Mission'd Barthandelus thanks to my new Mistilteinn :D Used a mage team since I already mastered him so I didn't need to interrupt him (I forgot dispell on Raines through... but Nabaat's imperials made up for it)


Now to try multiplayer and mastering Proudclad... oh boy.
---

Looks like we're getting a Man of the Hour Lucky Draw next week

https://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/114492-final-fantasy-record-keeper/75452675

I beat Apoc+ Proudclad again today and I was one medal off from mastery, because both Tyro and Vanille died, but I just wanted to kill him after being frustrated for about an hour. I used some growth eggs and 4* motes on Vanille so I'll try again tomorrow.

I beat Apocalypse Admanchilde pretty easy through with a team on the Reddit room. One guy had Squall BSB2 and Larsa's BSB, and my Prishe provided the Last Stands.
---

That was a tough multiplayer fight

Finally got him in a 4 healer comp

Ramza so good
---

Oh sweet jesus I finally champion'd Apocalypse+ Proudclad. God this fight was fucking horrible, I want to strangle the idiot who made one of the medal requirements defeat him before he uses Ultimate Retaliatory Strike 4 times, since you pretty much have to have two healers + last stand which hurts your DPS by a member.

Physical Team wasn't killing him fast enough since Kain's Burst/Lightning dive is only 4 hits. I tried a mage team since apparently power breakdown isn't that useful in this fight because the lasers are used by separate bits who aren't affected by breakdowns, and Raines' defense boost from his BSB is more effective. I still had to bring Prishe so I had to use VoF over Ley Lines which also cut into my DPS. Tried first with Jihl building up bursts with Wrath so she could use dark imperils and then her and Raines could use their burst commands, I couldn't kill him fast enough to get the beat before 4 URS medals, I considered using Ashe since I have her OSB but I'm seeing people on the reddit not having that good luck with her since mages without synergy die too quickly in this fight. So I decided to egg Hope to level 90, have him use Thundaga in the early parts to build meter, and when I got about 2 and 3/4 of his meter built I used his burst for holy infusion and use his OSB, which surprisingly did 99999 damage, and that was the ticket to finally mastering him.



God I don't know what Dena was thinking by having this event so early... oh I just remembered I spent gems on these banners *sigh*
---

All right, I'm giving up MP for this one. Way too many bullshit mechanics, and unless you have the perfect team and RNG doesn't decide to fuck you over 10 different ways, you have no chance.
---

Looks like the new ability Angelsong and Eiko's Record Spheres will finally be added in tomorrow's update.

https://www.ffrkcentral.com/blog/2017/06/14/upcoming-in-app-announcement-angelsong-abilit
---

Cleared A++ Adamanchelid, solo. Jeez, that fight is a pain. I cleared it by building an imitation of my Nemesis team, which is to say that I brought Alphinaud (SSB) and two "other" white mages and counted on Radiant Shield to compensate for the damage loss. But even with three healers I needed SG RW to survive reliably, and there's no way I could have made it through the weak phase without Greg OSB ready to deploy (and R3 Hailstorm was worth its weight in orbs here, too.) Not to mention multiple S/Ls to Stun and Confuse. (And one to "damnit I accidentally selected the Witchcraft shared SB on the Witch's Hat" but I can't blame the game for that.)
---

Popped a mythril on the Multiplayer Adamanchelid because the team I had assembled was really good and I knew we could beat it if we had a second chance.

We did.

And we never lowered the damn thing's resistance. We got an expert. :/ I feel...responsible somehow? Like I let them down. Not sure I have it in me to try again honestly. That fight is just not fun at all.
---

Ended up mastering that damn Adamanwhatever. Definitely wasn't the optimal group for it either, but it's finally over.
---

For only 6 stams, the Alexandria Castle ELT is a Level/RM farming heaven.
---

Hey @Xuxon thanks for dropping in for the Red Dragons raids!
---

kinda cool we could meet up randomly like that
---

Mastered R+ Proud Clad.

That dude was an absolute piece of ****. Just as I think I'm doing well, I get hit with an ultimate retaliatory strike, then the quad laser from the bit, dropping Ramza and Shantotto. Ugh. Anyway, party is below:

Orlandu (99): R4 Lifesiphon, R2 Thundering Twinstrike (OSB)
Ramza (82): R4 Lifesiphon, R2 Armor Breakdown (BSB for +50% DEF, Shout)
Tyro (99): R4 Power Breakdown, R3 Full Break (SG)
Shantotto (81): R2 Chain Thundaga, R2 Hell Thunder (CSB, BSB)
Y'shtola (99): R4 Curaja, R2 Protectga (BSB)
RW: Vessel of Fate

Hindsight, should've just used Ramza's Shout, and RWed Lightning's USB, but oh well. Basically lifesiphoned until Orlandu had all 3 charges, then unleashed him as soon as Proud Clad deactivated his limits. Will try the Jump Start version tomorrow.
---

Lightning USB RW is imo the way to go if you have a lightning OSB and native wall. I believe the Quickcast effect from USB even stacks with TGC quickcast for 9× cast speed.
---

the jump start version is pretty easy. i haven't even tried a A+ fight yet and i was able to do it. i think it's exactly the same except everyone starts with completely full SB meter. i didn't have much in the way of lightning SBs, and it's only a 20% weakness, so i used a dark team instead.
---
