Luneth OSB dupe.
Sucks that it's a dupe, but there are worse things to dupe than a 6* windboost weapon.

just got Locke's AOSB from the daily draw. i have arguably gotten better stuff from the daily draw these past 15 days than RoP. it's essentially Locke AOSB + Relm LMR vs Vanille USB2 + Quistis USB + Yda USB + Ingus LMR.

Got Gordon BSB, it's new but 10+ attack on a character that doesn't do damage anyway.

Guh I really needed a DPS USB for this realm with the Torment next month, all I have is Firion USB1, all I can do now is hope he gets the knight *5 buff early.

I got Hilda's LMR

I guess that'll be good if I ever get anything else for her.

When do the new 6* Dark abilities come out anyway. I think I can beat Madeen but I need Necro Count cause Dark Mage Dark Knight Cecil (strangely effective) is running out of Dark Zones

Minwu BSB, bleh. +10 mind I guess.

30 hours til gift draws, hope I get something good.

I might do the USB pull if the whole pool is just USBs (since then it's average of 2 USBs for 25 mythril with a chance for more, instead of 1 + some 5* junk)

April 24th is when the new Dark Abilities (and probably Chain Tornado and Holyja)

I think it was all USBs last fest's lucky draw? If so it should be the same, assuming Dena doesn't backpedal (which is a legit concern though.)

Pretty sure USB lucky has better expected value than Realms on Parade for most realms considering all the bad bursts, overstrikes, and legend materia out there.

Interesting. This made me compare the EV for 25 mythril on the lucky draw vs 25 mythril doing the ROP for I-V (because those were the first numbers I saw, although arguably I and II are some of the weakest realms so the numbers might be better if you looked at VI-X). I'm assuming .14 chance of a disco/rainbow on the ones that aren't guaranteed.

Lucky draw: 2.4 USBs
Realms:
0.32 AOSB
0.21 CSB
1.56 USB
4.31 5* or OSB

If you value the 5* stuff at all I think Realms is a better deal (especially since Arcanes and Chains are usually better than Ultras) but it's a lot closer than I realized.

Pretty sure the weakest realms for ROP are gonna be like FFVI and FFX and FFXII because there are a bunch of garbage overstrikes and outdated bursts in there. Pools are way more diluted even if they have more appealing things at the top end.

But yeah still I think if you're doing all the ROP the USB lucky should still be on your plate is all. Same kinda idea applies to them, superior mythril efficiency over being able to focus your efforts

not close at all imo. most USBs are damaging and have little future value. chains are better than even the best USBs. AOSBs aren't always great but at least they aren't about to be obsoleted. even LMRs will soon be more important than USBs, though there are admittedly a lot more useless LMRs than USBs right now and a lot of the good LMRs haven't come out yet.

granted, that's ROP as a whole. stuff like II, XII, T0 might have not been worth pulling on because no chain and i already had Ashe and Maria AOSBs. but even VI definitely had more value - Strago chain, several AOSBs and several key LMRs. X is a bit more arguable but since even Seymour chain would be huge for me i think that was at least better for me.

In theory that way of thinking makes sense. In practice not so much.

1. Awakening soulbreaks are stronger than USBs but you're not going to have a team full of Awakening users for most situations for a LONG time. The game moved away from the idea of having a single "A-Tteam" a long time ago
2. Many Awakening soulbreaks stack favorably with USBs
3. A lot of USBs are healing or buff type

I mean there are some bad USBs in there but most of them are still good.

I'm pulling on the USB LD. There's certainly a risk of getting crap, but the way I see it, any healer USB or slotsaver USB is going to be a major help for their torment, which is still the hardest content, with the possible exception of Syldra.
Even among dps USBs, there's quite a few that work really well with Awakenings, not to mention you're unlikely to field a full team of Awakenings anytime soon.

Only ability double USBs are going to be made truly obsolete by Awakenings (even then Vivi's USB1 will have it uses though since it's Black Magic double and his Awakening is double fire) You also have to be aware that Awakenings can only be used once per dungeon, while that's not an issue now since most awakenings are overkill for 5* magicite and torments, Odin has 3 million HP so he can outlast the awakening if you're not stacked enough and 6* magicite have been confirmed in Japan and those likely will be designed to be built around awakenings and outlast them as well.

Also remember it's once per dungeon as well and in the upcoming Battle Square USBs have the advantage there since it's a gauntlet of separate dungeons.

One thing this did make me realize is I should really skip the 1 ROP. It's less than 20% USB when most realms are more like 25-30%. It has two chains but one is a dupe for me and one is inferior to Seifer's which I have. WOL's AOSB is a dupe for me too.

I am going to do the USB draw, I figure the upside is worth it. Since it's all USB, going 3/11 or 4/11 is a lot better than on a regular banner.

Yeah I would say if you're debating skipping the USB lucky at all you should consider skipping the 5 weakest RoP at minimum as I'm sure the 5 worst ROP would probably be on average worse than the USB lucky

I'd skip the FF1 banner if I wasn't so desperate for a holy chain, you borderline need one for Deathgaze since it's a DPS race against his doom and status effects.

so... I haven't played this in months.

Have 164 mythril.
have what, 15 15-mythril draws possible? and luckies?

so I guess I need to farm up as much mythril as possible and pick and choose which?

wait, there's 5 mythril for 3-draws AND 15 myth for 11-draws? O_O

too much

Did the 5-mythril for V and got Bartz's chicken knife. I'm happy. =D

it's 17 draws, they're 5 each. USB lucky in 10 minutes. that's 110 mythril, so you can do them all.

though depending on how many months you meant, there may also be the 15 mythril draws. those will last a couple months longer, so plenty of time for them, and you may want to just skip them since they're not actually going away, just getting refreshed with better relics added.

Got Sarah USB1 on the RoP, not bad I guess.

Overall-

T-0- Rem USB1
Tactics-Ovelia LM (Dupe)
15-Skip
14-Papalymo LM (dupe)
13-Sazh BSB (dupe)
12-Larsa USB
11-Skip
10-Tidus OSB (dupe)
9-Beatrix BSB1 (dupe)
8-Raijin BSB (dupe)
7-Sephiroth Glint
6-Edgar AOSB
5-Bartz BSB1 (dupe)
4-Edge USB (dupe)
3-skip
2-Gordon BSB
1-Sarah USB1

Yikes, the top 3 relics are pretty good and probably worth the mythril but everything else besides Sarah USB was awful!

Gotta say the multiplayer made me feel like a hero, I kept failing it several times tonight due to lag, people not attacking, status effects ect but I final got a team of randoms that got through it, they blew their Orlandeau and Sora early with doublecasts and left Tifa as the only DPS with two Elaras, Aerith,Tyro and my Larsa.

Tifa used her USB2 dualcasts Ironfist Earths and then the earth Fires Within to keep her alive during the third and fourth repaired phases, let the other guys escape and her and Larsa were the last two left. I wrathed up two bars on Larsa so he could use them during the last repaired phase and had Tifa use her AOSB to KO X-ATM in one turn, and we escaped and finally cleared this one.

FYI the Record Dungeons in the 4th anniversary fest are 0 stamina but still give Magia points! Farm 'em while you can!

Fastest way is to do the Barbariccia one, it only has one cutscene to skip and you can kill her instantly with Ramza's full ATB/instant cast LMR and assault saber.

I got some ok stuff. Nothing I super wanted but some okay stuff.

7/40

Onion mUSB
Quistis USB1 (I think? Triboost + Haste + 2000 Stock)
Ace USB2 (now have both of his USBs wonder if they play well together)
Hope OSB (dupe)
Seven BSB (ice boost armor cool)
Basch LMR (holy boost bracer cool)
Alphinaud LMR

And

Ursula Arcane
Tellah LMR
Curilla LMR (dupe)
Desch BSB
Morrow BSB
Nine BSB
Ovelia BSB
Kelger BSB

Main disappointment is I was SURE that Quistis Ultra was Rydia USB2 cause I'm pretty sure their look is similar. Oh well Quistis USB may be useful too for Torment or somethin.

Not a single dupe, so that's nice. Tifa AOSB was pretty high on my wishlist, and the 3 Glints are on characters that are already stacked, so might see some occasional use.
