getting pretty tired of running this mog raid

Wait what the hell, the Arms have 4 million HP each?

****, I thought with the kill 10 + 3 times thing it was going to be a reasonable number, but good god

I'm okay with it actually. I vastly prefer this bozo over Titan

It's the lack of optimal Friend units that annoys me

Yeah, I'd originally planned to go for the King Burst Pot because I suddenly have a lot of characters I want to level the limit burst of.

But my will has faltered and I just stopped.
---

it requires just a bit more than zero effort to run ELT, and that's too much effort given the rewards on the raid summon
---

The only thing keeping me going with it is that I will, just barely, be able to make the 3.75 mil for the King Burst Pot. I spent the first week thinking I couldn't make it because I could only farm ADV reasonably, and then I got Tidus up enough that as long as he doesn't get sneezed out, I can do PRO. And the bonus is just enough that I think I can make it. But I've already got three Mog Wisdom, plenty of equipment (though I may as well make more), and I'm not breaking into the 10000-50000 bracket, so that one pot is what's making me keep going.

And it gives me refreshes on my friend list for free to hopefully get good units for Henne Mines. Speaking of, I've seen a whopping two Thunderbugs and Golden Bombs each the entire time it's been up, and that's what just about every last drop of my stamina has been going into.
---

Man, I got the King Burst Pot before the first week was over

Then again I'm crazy
---

yeah I've had the burst pot for a while now too, which is why I'm extra indifferent

There is a reason this is the long trial you can estimate 1 to a few couple of hours of commitment... =(^_^)=
---

I severely underestimated how good some of my carry friends were, and I didn't get Tidus up and running to the point where he could take on PRO by himself until near the end of last week. Believe me, I wish I could be done with this raid, especially now that all my friends have swapped over to Henne Mines units, just that little bit harder. But I will get it, if for no other reason than it's free rank experience that still adds up fairly quickly at my rank.

Need to figure out my party for the robot trial. Probably going to use King as kill fodder, and Tilith/Rikku. Not sure what else I should run. Might just end up waiting a year until Ramza gets his enhancements since I don't want to use Tilith as my MP battery. From what I recall he elemental weaknesses and strengths are spread among the parts so Fryevia's ice lock might be a no go. Maybe Rem for the DPS?

You need a Mana battery due to the length.

SPR should be 250+. Think 300 was recommended before buffs since robot rains magical aoe attacks.

One tank or similar to attract the squash lefty does each turn. Otherwise the one with the highest atk gets fisted to death. Every turn.

Re-raise is recommended for that guy.

Main body is immune to holy, and at least one part is 50% ice resistant, so Fry might work if Gumi won't do Gumi curve balls.

Aileen works without any issue.

Orlandeau should use either neutral or fire large sword.

Water should only be used on thresholds, 3 times tops or you will regret it.

Just switch weapon to a different element or Apocalypse. Will take longer, but won't render the unit worthless.
---

What's our source for Reraise? There's the self buffs, but what about people giving it to other people? Rikku's isn't really good for every turn.
---

Rem currently. (Enhanced Vanille is risky.)

Ayaka later on.

Robot. Aka Aiaiaiaiaiaiaiagon. (Bit my tongue.)

Reward: Aigaion's Arm [Knuckles] +145 ATK, Passive: High Tide (100% LB Fill Rate)

Mission Clear: 100 Lapis

Use LB : 10% Trust Moogle

Summon Ramuh : Knuckle Mastery (50% ATK w/ Knuckles)

No Magic: World Collapse [Materia], (400% Physical AoE & 35% ATK/DEF/MAG/SPR break for three turns [60 MP)

==============================

Main Body

HP: 10m MP: 100k -50% Ice +50% Lightning/Wind +100% Light/Dark Status Immunity

Left Arm

HP: 4m MP : 60k -50% Lightning +50% Ice/Wind +100% Light/Dark Status Immunity

Right Arm

HP: 4m MP : 60k -50% Wind +50% Ice/Lightning +100% Light/Dark Status Immunity
================================

- Main Body/Left Arm/Right Arm can only be SPR breaked.

- Only the Main Body will drop LB crystals.

- Left/Right Arm will be revived by the Main Body for a number of time.

- Bringing a form of Reraise is extremely valuable for this trial as you'll lose 1 unit every turn while the Left Arm is alive.

- A form of MP sustain is needed for this trial as this is a long battle.

- Bringing a form of water damage helps on crossing the Main Body's threshold.


Two ways to beat this trial is to either:-

1) Target the Main Body First (Must be able to deal more than 500k DMG/turn)

2) Kill the Left Arm 10 times, then the Right Arm 3 times before the Main Body in this order.

====================

Left Arm:

The Left Arm can only use one action, 1000% ST 1 Hit Physical Attack on the unit with the highest ATK stats (Provoke/Attract can override this). Physical Evade will not work against this.

If hit by a Thunder attack, Left Arm will instead use 300% AoE 1 Hit Physical Attack. (likely to kill you).

If the Left Arm dies, the Main Body (if alive) will respawn it. This stops after 10 times.
=======================

Right Arm:

AoE 3 Turn +20% ATK/MAG Every 4 turns and ST 3 Turn +200% DEF Every 3 turns.

If Main Body is damaged, Right Arm will heal the Main Body for 500k every turn.

If the Right Arm dies, the Main Body (if alive) will respawn it. This stops after 2 times.

If the Right Arm dies twice while the Left is still alive, the Left Arm will self-destruct, killing itself and snorting one of your unit for the rest of the battle.

If Main Body is dead, Right Arm will use ST 3 Turn +200% DEF every turn and attack more often.

When HP < 50%, uses 500k Self HP Recovery once. If Main Body is dead and HP < 30%, uses 2m Self HP Recovery once.

==============

Main Body.

Frequently uses 180% AoE 1 Hit Magic Attack.

Thresholds at 70/50/30/10%. On thresholds, Main Body will use 1000% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack.

If hit by a water attack on the thresholds, Main Body will use a weaker version of the attack instead 500% AoE 1 Hit Hybrid Attack.

If Main Body is hit by Water 3 times, Main Body will use 500% AoE 1 Hit Thunder/Water Magic Attack.

Spent all the tickets from King Mog on the banner and still no Ashe.

Welp.
---

I think the banner rate for 4*s on this banner is screwy. Like, I drew probably upwards of 20 4*s in my about 70 draws on the banner. I got two Rasslers.

Oh yeah, I got a ton of 4*'s in my 40 or so draws and didn't get a Rassler either.
---

I dunno, I did one 10+1, and ~15-20 tickets + 4 dailies now? I've gotten 3 Rasslers and 2 Ashes.

<_<

I've done more than this, gotten neither, but I DID somehow get Zargabaath?
---

what can I say, I am #blessed with 4*s

the 5*s on the other hand, not so much
---

I'm usually blessed with 4*. Like I don't think I've ever needed more than 20 draws or so to get any given 4*. Usually get them in less than 10. This one though. Terrible banner. It must have sensed I just wanted Ashe for her ring. (not that that stopped me from getting Freyvia)
---

I think I might just wait until Ramza's enhancements so I don't have to bring along an otherwise pointless character for MP battery purposes. Really don't want to bring Ashe for when Tilith is MP batterying if I don't need to.

Edit: I suppose I could bring Zargabaath, but I'd need to give him a lot of MP recovery equipment then.
---

Bleh, figures that the left arm would have ice resist.

Maybe tempted to get King up cause lol hitting main body for LB for Rikku.

Team would most likely be Frey, cecil, tillith, Rikku, WoL, Fry friend.
---

got an ashe on the daily finally

---

ashe upgrades look alright. thought it was better than it was at first. still, Meditite's buff makes for a decent MP regen. they didn't up her damage in any meaningful way though.
rasler upgrades look like a joke
vaan's looks like it's nothing that's going to save him from being ignored.
---

oh wow, Camille actually looks pretty solid. that LB gives her a great way to run in water and earth teams, she's got unusual suppport play going for wind and fire (already had earth and water in a single move), and she's got both water and earth imperials. bear in mind, she's got a natural 30% res to water and earth elements too.

only her attack is a good bonus. in total she's just 30% HP and 70% ATK with a sword.
what an unusual fighter. she has her niche carved out well. if you've got Tidus or Aileen she seems like a must-have in the party.

edit:
camille perfect chains with those two as well.
so yeah, she's a must for those teams.
---

Sweet, looks like Camille is getting maxed out early

Anyway more announcements, Enhancements Great and Amazing Success Rates increased from 14 July to 21 July

Maintenance from Wednesday 23:00 PDT 12-July to Thursday 05:00

What exactly are ex summon tickets

And can I stockpile them and the 10+1 From the end of the month towards my 2b reserve?
---

they're summon tickets that just pull from the general rare pool without any banner up rates. so yeah, you can stock them, but your chances of getting nier banner units using them is extremely low.
---

You normally get them from the reward board with no rate ups or affected by limited units.

Higher ex ticket means guaranteed base *4 like the other *4 ticket, but no rate ups. Same with ex *5 tickets.
---

oh, huh, didn't realize limited units wouldn't be included, even if the banner was up. maybe I'll just blow them now, then.

That Jake win animated made me literally laugh out loud.

Shera Attack Force, go!

Also, got yet another And Yaya, Camille is cool now <3
---

Christ, that Camille looks tasty. And I have two of them, and a Tidus and Aileen. Once her 6* hits I think I'm pretty much set.

Edit: With those 6 5% Moogles hitting, I believe I have just enough for a TMR. Unless there's something else I really need to go for, it looks like I'm maxing my first Camille, as she's the only access I have to anything that'll let me DW for Tidus. Pretty sure that's my best bet for a DPS increase, yes?
---

Um, 2nd Grace in a row on the free draw?
---

I'm keeping my EX Tickets until Lunera is available.

COME ON LUCK DO ME ANOTHER SOLID
---

I spent mine. Got 6 gold from the 11 tickets. 2x Ilias, Agrias, Zyrus, Nine and Seven.

Could have been worse.
---

Glad I didn't jump the gun. Managed to pull both a Zidane and Abel from the EX Tickets, so I have plenty of DW options now. Zidane first, then Camille probably. The rest was crap, including my third Snow from the 4* Ticket. Ah well, still worth it.
---

Oh right I still need a second Snow

Hmm...
---

spend your tickets!

it's fun!
