Board 8 > Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 41: Gysahl Shop gets good someday

(+) Yeah! (+)

ability double banner would have been soonish and went untranslated in maintenance. someone said it's possible we get it next maintenance but idk. SSB select banners were also untranslated (JP has been getting them every month as their crystal tower banners) and they specifically said last night in an announcement that they were removing crystal tower draws, not replacing them with the SSB selects.

so yeah. two last chances to get Edge SSB - the lucky draw tonight and the free draw based on the 3rd anniversary survey. after that it's only gonna be in the daily draw. ~1/10000 chance!
---

I dunno I think we'll get the SSB draws eventually. I wouldn't rule it out till next Crystal Tower rolls around with no replacement
---

I believe if enough people keep mailing DeNA that they'd like a way to complete their favorite characters, (don't tell them you just want the 1 or 2 OP relics and don't care about anything else) they will add banners that let us get old tech.

I was gonna ask MWC what he's missing for a complete Cloud but he's suspended.

Again
---

Got a 5* from the daily.

SOLDIER sword.

No SB, not even a shared one. I didn't even know this existed lol. Oh well, fodder for the legendary weapons.

got my first 6* from daily

Palom USB dupe

Damn that sucks would be an amazing draw if not dupe

Um.....

Is Vivi better than Marche now?

Hell, is Vivi better than Fucking TGC?

What the fuck happened?

Why is everyone saying I should take Vivi in the USB choice? And hes even with Cid it seems for people screaming take this one!

Vivi's better if your magic side is in rougher straits than your physical side or if you already have TGCid USB or you hate TGCid. One of the statements applies to most people in the topic.

I have a picture of it actually.

Its really weird...

I have ONE each of every level of Soul Break with Cloud.

No dupe levels what so ever.

With all the drawing I did I only have

1/3 uniques
1/2 Supers
1/3 Burst
1/3 Materias
1/2 USB
1/2 OSB
1/1 Glint
1/1 AOSB

Anyway.

Do I need his USB2?

I have his Glint, USB1, Burst 2 and ULTIMA Weapon.

My Cloud is closer to complete than yours despite never giving him specifically a single draw. Weird how that works. Desire sensor is real.

I spent 400 dollars on his OSB1....

Which is doubling depressing now because

1: Its fucking worthless
2: I never got it.

Cherry Blossom is his only OSB I have

Cloud only has one SSB btw

and his USB2 is an improvement but not strictly necessary when you have his glint

Are you sure?

Didnt he get one for Advent Children?

that's his BSB1
---

And is his Glint or BSB2 better?

Xuxon posted...

that's his BSB1

I knew we fly First Tsurgi then, but I thought there was a Super on the banner and this would be well after Organics

obviously the glint. it costs half the meter, instant cast, and can stack if you want. BSB commands are just barely better than raging quadstrike, not enough to matter. honestly the 20% atk boost makes more of a difference but two stacks of en-wind is still clearly better.

he got a unique after his BSB1. maybe you're thinking of that? idk if it was related to AC; it's just a few weak hits and en-wind.

Is 1% point in XI a big deal?

I did the realm lucky cause it's the last one and on good realms

3/11

Snow Chain (dupe)
Valvalis LMR
Serah SSB (dupe)

Good riddance. What a waste of a chain draw.

Also 100 gemmed Vaan's LMR off the crystal tower. Guess that's something. (Skipped the 11 CT 100 gem just nothing worth drawing there even if I hit)
---

Ultimaphazon posted...

Congrats. I assume USBs and probably full LD on everyone?

Edit: and Prompto chain obv.

No USB on Prompto but he didn't need since by the time he had a second 2 bars Famfrit was almost dead (would be nice though) I think I can reliably sub30 Famfrit, he's not too bad if you can get past the early part of savage briny cannon> Gravity>strike and heal before then. At first I had Shelke wrath up meter to survive that part but I swapped Mako Might and Gathering Storm on Elara and Prompto and had Prompto wrath a few turns until he had enough meter to use his chain. The big risk was I couldn't bring magic breakdown to overwrite Famfrit's Faith but thankfully Ixion's damage reduction entry made savage Tsumani survivable (it's still 6000 AoE, still bad but at least the squishy characters can survive it now)

This should be a lot easier when I get that new celerity skill so Lightning can use it and when I get double dampen inheritance on Ixion (my other Ixion is at level 70, I was hoping to get it done before Famfrit but his sudden announcement took me by surprise.) Amd when I get more Famfrit espers since it has Spell Ward level 8 so I can replace Dullahan.

I also 100 gem'd Curilla's super off the crystal tower, well maybe it could be of some use in torment, at least I have 4 FF11 characters with soul breaks now.

Also did the lucky draw 3/11

Snow Super dupe
Rydia water infusion LM
Snow Chain.

Ah, bummer on the chain, since I have Laguna's. I guess the Rydia LM will help in torment at least
---

One last time,( I guess for old times sake..., god Im an idiot) I let this game steal 25 mythril from me....

Sazh Super
Sazh Burst
One disco

Anyone know how good Queens USB is?

Since I pretty much just spent 25 mythril on it.

4/11 one disco
Rem LMR
Rem a different LMR
Edward LMR
Dark Cecil USB (the good one, can't remember if he had one before that)

really nice disco. great for torment (at least i assume) and i'd at least have to think about using him over Orlandu in a dark team. though everything else seems useless. why is it always the LMRs for type-0, between ROP and luckies now i've gotten 4 LMRs and only one actual SB for that realm.

Since I pretty much just spent 25 mythril on it.

basically a Lightning USB clone, so not great but she can at least use a 6* spellblade with it. and there aren't a ton of great physical lightning SBs so she could easily be an improvement in your physical lightning team if you were gonna go for the 5* water magicite. though Queen has perhaps not enough of a future for mote investment, particularly with a trance dive, which doesn't work very well with a quickcast USB.
---

For pure damage Dark Cecil is def better than Orlandu. His damage is obscene with the bubble up. 9999x8 basically all the time on quickcast (if you use Crimson Cross, which you can cause of the stoneskin) plus he only uses one hone per attack instead of 2 so he's a lot less demanding.

Only real risk is without his LMR he's at risk if you're using crimson cross since dualcasting that eats your life alive meaning he'll be empty p much all the time. May rather use sanguine cross instead or the life stealing one in which case more debatable
---

right now i'm using Seph with Crimson and Orlandu with Sanguine+Dread Weapon. that'd be an interesting thing to figure out if i did switch him in.

Cecil will do less damage than Orlandu per hit with the same skill and can't triple cast and doesn't have instant cast 3. in return, he gets quickcast, less hone usage, the ability to crimson cross while not hurting his stoneskin, and can benefit from a crit buff to surpass Orlandu in damage.

also, Dark Cecil's dive is awful and i already have Orlandu dived. that is probably the biggest point in favor of sticking with Orlandu.
---

I think his dive is slightly underrated, if for no other reason than the HP nodes actually help him more than most people cause of the stoneskin gimmick.

Also I've had the life drain thing actually matter though yeah standard is to not bother with it.

Final Lucky Draw...

1/11

Jihl LM

Now I will never be suckered into these things again.
---

Thanks for biting the bullet on the LD guys, I was half tempted to draw on it until I saw nobody getting anything.
---

If you need Snow's Chain we've got lots of those.
---

i could have used Snow and/or Kain's chains <_<
---

20 Garuda
6 Mimic Queen
5 Ixion

You'd expect it to normalize eventually but nope these Garudas keep coming. At least Ixion is catching up to Mimic Queen. 2 more Ixions and I can be done with this garbage.
---

3/11 on the Lucky

Nine Materia (dupe)
Edge Super
Serah Chain

Edge Super
Serah Chain

didn't realize Serah's chain would be in there already. that's an amazing draw, especially if that's Edge's good SSB and it wasn't a dupe.
---

I dont know which Edge SSB is his good one but this was Sasukes Katana and not a dupe.

If thats not his good one then well I already have the other. Also USB.
---

unforunately that's not the good one. his good one is Red Jacket - the effect of that SB is an instant cast party haste, physical blink, and last stand.
---

Looks like both water 5*s are a bust. I have everything I need for Famfrit - BK magicite for savage mode, Kain chain, Elarra USB - but no good DPS. Geosgaeno is the other way around - solid DPS in Ashe, Shantotto, Rafa, and Elarra - but no way to break savage.

I think I just got lucky with BK.
---

Okay finally got my 7th Ixion drop. Combined with the one rigged one that gives me 8. Will be able to put a shot in against the Water Magicite soon.

Final drop count:

22 Garuda
7 Mimic Queen
7 Ixion
---

Yeah I started using a drop tracker ages ago cause fuck that noise.
---

Noctis SSB off the daily. Pretty cool. One of a small pool of like maybe 5 supers I could actually see being useful to have.
---

Fran USB.....

Yay.... I think I just got the single worst USB there is.

Fran's USBs are no where near as bad as Steiner, Y'shtola or Lenna 2.
