cpaf posted:Keep grinding through the story and put 'em on Snow instead, imo Understood. I'm autoing my way through the Locke event as far as I can. Might have to start paying attention soon. Saving the growth eggs. I'll use them on Snow when unlocked. Soon as I can't handle/complete a dungeon in the Locke event, I'll hop over to story mode to progress and unlock te remaining characters. For now Josef is tossing out 1400 damage per attack and so is Cloud with his 4-star sword. Cyan is having a good day too.

What level should I be for hard fal'cie? Would like to get more free orbs before it goes away, but I don't wanna get my rear end kicked and waste stamina since I lack any realm synergy and my highest dudes are 33ish. At the very least I have some 4 and 5* gear now

Schwartzcough posted:So these "shared soul break" items- does that mean anyone that equips it can use that soul break? The Mystery Veil gives a full-party healing ability; that seems pretty nice if you didn't get Aeris' rod. I did a pull for FFVI stuff when I've got a ton of good (or decent) FFVI stuff! I got a 4* FFX-synergy Katana and a Blitz Sword.  DaveWoo posted:So, what's the consensus on the new gacha? Worth chucking 50 stones at, or should I wait? Yes. Shared Soul Breaks are actually pretty drat nice to have, so there's actually 4 "winning" 5* pulls here, or 3 even if you don't want to use Locke.

Suzaku posted:Oooh, look at all those 3* Lightning Orbs! Amen! 15 3* lightning orbs goes a long way towards helping me get Intimidate to rank 3. I'll still need 3* power orbs (none in this event?) but it really helps not to need the lightning orbs. Suzaku posted:Okay, advice time. I prioritize the offense-breaks (power and magic). Those are essential for winning some fights, while armor/mental breaks are nice to have but you can win without them.

I'm really enjoying the fact that I'm one shotting everything up until at least the second to last classic stage. All the previous events I've felt underpowered, now I might actually have a shot at elite. Thundaja definitely helps.

Saved up 50 mithril for the Locke banner and the results were fairly pleasing: Genji helm, my second blitz sword and rising sun  Looks like my new lineup is Cloud, Celes, Locke, Vanille and Snow. Nice synergy for the new event.

I did a 11 pull too thanks to all the mithril events. Got a Zantetsuken (VI) and a 4 or 5 4 star equips. Not bad, but you'd really think it'd give a soul break to someone. Still, good time as any to get Sephiroth on the cleaning crew.

Do you have a Retaliate combo set up? 2/5 watera, 2/5 thunder strike, and the free thundaga at 1/5. 2/5 retaliate and 2/5 double cut, to boot. I get the feeling I'll end up cutting it close on behemoths and the uh... mechthings, assuming 4 retaliate charges is enough for Anima. I'll probably wait until I get warrior of light later and catch him up so I can have two 5* weapon using dudes.

Think I'll 50 pull this banner--I usually don't on single banners, and am not really psyched for Locke, but the shared soul breaks are pretty good, I need a decent ranged weapon, and the Kaiser Knuckles are boosted too. What can I lose? Not like Locke becomes bad later on, anyway--thief abilities are good!

Ah drat, you're right. I did pull like 3 other katanas though, so he'll be useful in the next FFX event or something. I'm compiling my inventory on that website now. I recommend to anyone else to fill out that inventory management site sooner rather than later. There's so many things to keep track of. Edit: I found I pulled a masamune blade (VII). Why is there even a separate ff7 masamune? That's just cruel.

Did an 11 pull with the shared breaks. Got a Hawkeye which actually seems pretty good with a chance to blind. Got some other assorted junk but I did manage to pull an Ice Shield which should be really helpful with the final dragon. I'm running into a problem where I have a bunch of 3* staves with various boosts that are just taking up space right now. Can characters permanently learn the shared Soul Breaks? If so, Rinoa will probably be my top mage with spells and a blind SB.

Killing Vector posted:In the Locke event, when you're selecting the level you want to enter, the background is a map of the World of Balance, but when you switch to the elite levels it changes to a map of the World of Ruin. That's a neat little touch. I also like that the rewards make story sense the same way. World of Balance gives you Locke, but to get Phoenix you basically have to go through the cave where Locke found it in the World of Ruin.

Much easier. There's only one multi-boss rush and it's earlier (and thus easier) than the Parade Float fight, and the bosses all have important status vulnerabilities (Guard Captain can be petrified/instant deathed, almost everything else can be paralyzed, and the Red Dragon can be poisoned and blinded). Red Dragon has a ton of hit points and heavy offense, but nowhere near the defense level that elite Seifer had. Most importantly, FF6 synergy gear is way, way more common than FF8 synergy gear.

How important is synergy anyway? Like should I swap out Cloud for FF6 characters, for instance? Or should I swap out 5* gear for 4* gear that gets synergy? EDIT: Does that 5* sword have technically unlimited non-class restricted lightning slash for its limited break? That's kind of rad.

Character synergy is nice but not super vital. For characters, synergy is +10 levels, which is usually a few hundred HP and 20 or so to their major stats. Item synergy is huge. For items, the amount they gain from synergy is based on their level. At levels 1-4, It's a flat +5 levels. At 5-9, it's +10. At 10-14, it's +20. 15-19 is +30. 20-24 is +40. 25-29 is +50, and 30 is +60 levels. (this formula doesn't apply to accessories, those get +50% to their effect) And yes, the new shared soul breaks can be used by anyone equipping the item. They're not as powerful as character-specific soul breaks, but they can be incredibly useful. EDIT: Just beat the Red Dragon on Elite and it's still very difficult. I had two people alive and neither of them had more than a sliver of health remaining. Probably not going to bother going back to try and master it for the Major Fire Orb. I reeeeeeeaaaaaallllly need to get my Power and Magic Breaks honed up. I wish non-elemental and power orbs were easier to farm. Zurai fucked around with this message at 08:54 on Jun 2, 2015 |

Synergy for characters gives them +10 levels. It's definitely nice to have, but you shouldn't bring a level 35 Cyan over a level 50 Cloud because of it or anything. Item synergy, on the other hand, gets pretty bonkers. Absolutely bring a 4* item with synergy over a 5* item without (although chances are you'll want to bring both). Typically a 3* item with synergy will be comparable to a 5* item without synergy.

Neat. That might explain why the FF8 event was so balls then. We have like no FF8 characters and FF8 equips are few and far between. This time around once I get locke I'm going to level him and Terra up so I can use them instead of Tyro and Cecil. EDIT: Is it worth rolling on all this FF6 gear?

I'm at a point where the Vanille event on Hard is a joke but Heroic is a nightmare. I somehow got lucky enough with health drops and conveniently-timed level ups that I made it through heroic once and mastered it. I wish I could get through it two more times to finish up all the memories I need to get Thundaja but of course it won't be that easy

How many more do you need? Farming Hard is fairly easy and fast. You get like 7k per run and if you're like me and you haven't cleared all of the main dungeons yet, you can dip into those and get some easy stamina back so you can refill and return to farming hard.

Water skills. I forget if we have Waterga yet, but if not and you have a honed Water Strike or Watera, you'll be a lot better off. One of the mastery requirements is to not exploit the Fire Dragon's ice weakness on Elite, and the only other weakness it has is Water, so if you've got a good source of that it will help a lot.

That said, a L50 Celes with Synergy will generally be better to bring than a L50 Cloud without. It all depends on what characters are what levels, and what niches you need filled. Locke will work better in this event than Wakka or Tidus if he's levelled properly, Celes will be comparable to Cloud (except with better RES), Terra was one of the best mages anyway, and Cyan... Cyan exists, I guess.  KataraniSword fucked around with this message at 14:42 on Jun 2, 2015 |

The Biggest Jerk posted:Is a 50 roll worth it for this locke event? Do you plan on using Locke/Wakka? Rising Sun is really good and turns Locke into a powerhouse with a huge multiplier aoe damage + slow. The Mystery Veil lets you turn a magic user's lovely default soul break into a white mage AoE heal, the Thunder Blade gives you a strong lightning AoE soul break for any sword wielder and the Hawkeye is okay but eclipsed (heh) by Rising Sun. I personally am sticking with Vanille's banner since her relic rod is insane and there are very few good rods that give that amount of magic.

For mastering stages, does anything matter beyond champion/expert status on stages? ie, is barely getting expert worse than being just short of champion? It seems like there's enough leeway you can master any stage with a single expert, as long as the rest are champions. Nice for the stages with dumb debuff boss conditions. E: To follow up on that, is it worth making dark attack/dark buster, for dreadnought? Is it a good enough debuff for Other Things, or should I just focus on making and honing power/magic break, a couple of dumb debuff masteries (lookin @ that double dreadnought fight in 13) be damned?

Beasteh posted:Lightning is my darling wife and I will kill each and every person who states otherwise Lightning gets a lot of hate for being a really, really obvious creator's pet, but in all fairness I often found her attitude refreshing among the usual 'avoid interpersonal conflict at all costs' Japanese mindset. She has absolutely no problem calling people out on it when they're being retarded, and one of her most character-defining moments in the game was decking a fellow party member in the face for pissing her off - and it wasn't being played for comedy, either. Her appearance in Dissidia was nice, too, considering that she was literally the only good guy who was willing to question if Cosmos was right or even worth fighting for at all. But yeah, that's pretty much all FF13 or Lightning had going for them.
