Board 8 > Final Fantasy Record Keeper Topic 54: Dual Awakenings-Awakening Harder

(+) Yeah! (+)

Oh well speak of the devil I got 5% weapon for Lion! Still need her armor but I've only gotten 2 ever in like 5 manual runs.


---

Nice!

Anyway... done with 6* magicite!



Ended up lensing Celes OSB (not sure it was actually necessary in my winning run) so she could do something useful in P3 without aoeing the rift.

---

Beat Physical Salamander! Super close one, my finishers only got him down to 0.9%, and my chain expired right after that and Rikku and Quina both got berserked. Luckily I was able to throw down another chain with Paine and then get another round to barely finish him off.

Also it was cool that Elarra was able to solo heal even without her sync, although with several entrusts from Quina.



---

Congrats!

Fest ticket #1: 2/10: Lightning G+2 (holy infusion), Setzer BSB

Beat up magic dark-weak wodin again too for the tickets

Wodin fest ticket: 3/10: Kimahri SASB!, Seymour AASB2 (dupe, 3/15), Raines USB2
Ticket>VII: 2/11: Zack AASB1 (dupe, 5/15), Cloud USB2

I have Kimahris AASB so maybe I should figure out how dragoons work in this game

---

Ticket 1: P Cecil sync, dupe Faris G+

Today was also my 2400 login bonus and it was 5/11 but basically all junk except Cloud of Darkness's chain.

Kinda funny that I got DK Cecil's sync on the free sync draw and now get P Cecil's sync today.

---

1/10 Noctis AOSB1 - new, but basically worthless

I figured it was easier to redo a Bahamut I already vleared, than trying to beat a new one. So I wwnt back to FFVII Bahamut and got a fairly easy sub-30.

3/10 all dupes Rufus LMR, Vincent CSB, Wol AOSB (3/10)
I used my ticket on Core and got Tyro's Sync

Man, Dragonking fights are utterly infuriating, even the ones I've already beaten. Anyway, got three more fest tickets although I haven't actually beaten my second dragonking yet, but I think that last ticket is a realm ticket.

1/11 Dupe Paine Chain
1/11 Dupe Bartz Sync
1/11 Tidus Sync 1 (absolutely useless since I already have his sync 2)

Lol, how can these pulls be so good and so bad at the same time?

---

Got Basch holy chain and dupe Beatrix Awakening with the GF ticket this morning, I'm glad to have another chain but Basch is probably one of the worst users.

Did Type-0 for the first Bahamut since that's the easiest one, and got revenge on Fire Magic weak Wodin, though I did have to reset because of his doom gimmick, ugh. How humiliating being able to beat Snow Giant but still losing to the previous elemental boss.

GF tickets

1/11 Quina BSB
1/11 Basch Awakening dupe Geez another Basch relic

Used my realm tickets on FF10

6/11!

...5 dupes and Auron USB

1/11
Jecth Awakening dupe

Man bad start so far. And sheesh FF10 does not wanna give anything to help with Bahamut, huh?

---

Barely got 40% on T0 DK again... ticket gave me junk

---

I got FFX Bahamut to 80% thanks to Lulu's hero gear so she can actually do damage now, I got Snow's full break counter Awakening and Y'shtola LBO.

Geez seems like the game really wants me to use Y'shtola despite her awfulness, and sad thing is I might have to use her for Kraken if I don't get a second lightning mage cap break for someone other than Edge, Garnet or her.

---

Got FFXIV DK down to a little over 50% too to get the the other 40% ticket

2/10: Gaffgarion USB1, Basch OSB

I think I probably have the tech to beat T0s? I have Rem AASB+SASB, Cater AASB1+2, Trey AASB2 (and HE)... these seem like a pain, though. Also not sure how much Id be handicapping myself with only a level 99 HC.

---

By the way, have realm/elemental draws been refreshed in Japan yet? I think they haven't, but once they are I'll probably start saving my tickets since my odds on the current pools are getting worse.

---

From what Ive read global is expected to get a refresh some time in January?

---

Daily ticket #2: 4/10: Yuna AASB2!!, Noctis G+1, Alphinaud G+, Seymour USB1 (dupe)

Welp, that should definitely help with Sin!

---

Aw man I wish I got that Yuna Awakening 2, main struggle with this Bahamut is keeping Mog alive and that would help tremendously.

I got Aranea AOSB with my ticket, new but meh.

---

Got all the fest missions done.
The only new, non-lenseable relic I got from my tickets, including the login and realm ticket, was a Desch AASB, and I had none of his useable relics before.
Maybe the remaing daily logins will be something more useful.

Do you know where you saw that? I'm not seeing anything about it anywhere.

Thanks, definitely time to start saving. I wish I hadn't spent those last three tickets, they all gave me junk.

---

Ticket #1: 1/10 - Sephiroth BSB1
Ticket #2: 2/10 - Squall AASB1 dupe, Thancred AASB
Realm ticket (IV) - 1/11 - D Cecil LMR4

The Thancred AASB is definitely a sweet pull, especially whenever I get to bio Odin, to pair with Thief AASB.

---

Did 1 pull on Banner 2 even though I probably shouldn't since I already beat magic weak Salamander, but it's such a good banner!

Gogo LMR (useless) and Meia Awakening 2.

I guess Meia having two cap breaks is nice I suppose in case I use her for Bahamut. Wish FF1 had a third mage DPS or at least make Echo a DPS since she already has black magic 5*.

---

Did one pull as well:

3/11: Meia SASB!!, Tidus SASB!!, Meia AASB2

Wow, maybe my best pull ever?

---

I also did a pull because it's a great banner.

3/11: Meia Glint+, Meia AASB2, Meia Dyad
I would have liked her Sync or Tidus Sync more, but I can't complain about that.

Daily ticket #3: 2/10: Estinien USB2, Vaan OSB
Also got Reno's AOSB from the daily

---

I have Tidus Sync2, so unsure if I should pull on that banner.

Ticket #3: 3/10 - Golbez BSB dupe, Yda BSB dupe, Elarra Sync1

Definitely nice to have, adds to her AASB and both USBs.

---

The banner is more focus towards water magic, Tidus is more of a bonus.

I got 7/11 with today's ticket, only 1 disco though.

Irvine BSB dupe
Ulti enWind LMR dupe
Gilgamesh dualcast LMR dupe
Deuce party heal LMR
Sarah bard quick cast LMR
Relm glint
Shelke enLightning glint

At least the Deuce and Sarah ones are nice.

---

2/10 Both BSB dupes, at least it's some lvl. 2 lenses

You talked me into it lol. That, and the fact that Arc's LMR was the only other dupe.

2/11: Gogo LMR+, Gogo AASB2

First things (aside from a glint I think) that I've gotten for him. How do I Gogo?

---

Get his HA and his chain.
There, your magic water team is now 50% better.

Gogo has an imperil HA (and a gen 2 chain) so hes actually quite good

---

So is it just timing with him, regarding the mimic stuff? Or just spam HA all the time?

---

Mimic cant affect sync commands, so all else being equal try not to mimic while your other two dps are running syncs or youre gonna copy some heals or something. But yeah the mimicking is mostly a gimmick; the important thing is the imperils.

---

So his AASB has him mimic the last ability from an ally 3 times. Is that immediate?

---

Yeah, itll mimic the last valid ability to trigger three times (valid excluding sync abilities and their linked commands and Im sure some other stuff I dont know about)

---

I wonder if I can time it so he would mimic his own HA, though would likely have to skip over a few people and waste a few seconds to do so.

Also, an unrelated labyrinth question, as I finally get through these. For season 1, how do I know which characters' HE are in which dungeon at a particular time? I looked at the drop table before entering, but it just shows three weapons. I assume that means those 3 characters have HEs dropping in there, but I thought there were a few more than 3 per dungeon?

---

It just shows the weapons, but all of each of those three characters' HE drops.

---

Gogo is fantastic, but his new LMR sucks because he has an imperil HA and his magic damage+ with rod LMR is way better. You can also lens his Awakening 1 so you can have a water mage with two cap breaks.

He's was great for me in the Nexus Salamander fight, he'll be a staple for magic water teams with his chain and HA!

---

I actually think I may have enough to try magic Salamander now?

Arc sync/AA2
Meia sync/AA2
Gogo chain/AA1
No Mog AA1 or Cait, though. Ill also probably wait until I hopefully get the water wodin seal after lensing Promptos chain (and get a full set of Meia HE)

---

Lord knows I need a magic water chain. Only have 1800 level 4 lenses, so will likely get his chain after crossing 2k. No water syncs (well, Luna's Sync1 I guess), so will have to rely on AASBs likely, though thankfully I have a few of those.

---

Yeah my first level 4 lens purchase was Gogo's AASB1 since I already had his chain. It got me the wodin clear so it was worth it! (Water-weak wodin kinda sucks though... it was probably the most frustrating one I've done)

Speaking of fire bosses, I did phys Ifrit again for the homework mission and reduced my > 1 minute kill time to a sub-30 (though Tidus died for my Sin of going too fast...!)

---

Finally got a 5% damage boost armor for Lion, now she's 5/5/8!

Maybe I'll try taking on physical weak Salamander tomorrow, need magic keys though, I'm almost all out!

---

How are you folks burning your stamina these days? By default I still run the crystal dungeons but it feels pretty pointless with over 2000 of every crystal type stocked up. But I don't know if there's anything else you can just quickly auto that's better.

---

I'm doing several quick explores on S1 dungeons each day

---

I also just do crystal dungeons, but I agree that it feels like a waste with a stockpile of 2000+ per crystal.

There's nothing really else to use stamina on besides dailies even with the crystal surplus, well unless you got a safety net of record markers to auto skip (saving mine for the next labyrinth so I can try to get Prishe's HE ASAP.) Or auto grind Magia but I don't have many characters left I want to do that for.

---

Hrm I lensed Promptos chain but for some reason Im having a hard time keeping him alive post-resurrection

I got wodin to like 18.5% even with Prompto dead for the duration of the second chain, so presumably if I can keep him alive itll be a win. Hope I can avoid grinding magia for him

---

Got em tonight after all



This was the first one I was able to take down with fewer than 4 BDLs (3.5 for this team); I used Delita AASB for the first chain and then Lightning dyad+sync and Prompto awakening for the second. Finished him off just as the chain was about to run out.

---

Congrats I told you Delita was a great character to invest in!

i got Noctis LBO with today's ticket. Could be useful if I get around to sub30ing FF15 Bahamut.

I've been doing the gold daily or letting it expire. I only care about getting the daily quest now really

Upgrades are pricey for gp though so seems the one in least abundance strangely

---

Man I forgot how much I hated Ifrit. The micro-managing is super annoying. Tried to do a magic team, couldn't finish him off. Rydia (AASB), Gogo V (Chain/AASB2), Arc (AASB1/both glint+s), Elarra (Sync/AASB/both USBs), and Mog (Sync/both AASBs). It's the planning around getting reraise on either Rydia or Arc, and then remembering to do it again later for the second one. Last stand will bring them up, but usually the 4th pillar's painflare kills them.
