yea i bought the materia because goons were going off on how broken it is. I just have Refia w/dual cast, Y'shtolla already, so I'm not sure where I'll use Rem.

But people were saying I can build her as dmg? Maybe I'll try that and replace my Chizuru with her.

Her Dagger Boomerang Global ability uses MAG for damage, but is a physical attack, so you get two when you dual wield.

Blue.. Lawrence
Blue.. Wakka #4
Blue.. turns to gold!! Could it be?? ... Warrior of Light #6
Blue.. Mustadio (ok that's useful for my Amelia)

I am super depressed at the game right now. On Thursday I threw 39 rare tickets, and 3 guaranteed 4 star tickets at the banner, on top of the free 11 pull and guaranteed 5 star 11 pull.

No Rikku.

Today I threw another two 11 pulls at the banner, plus another 6 tickets.

No Rikku.

Oddsbitch put me at a 99.8% chance of pulling Rikku with just the ones I've thrown at the banner so far. It's not even some off chance rainbow I'm chasing this time, I want that banner gold.

Literally told the game that if I didn't pull a Rikku on this banner I was going to quit the game.

Picked up a free ticket from expeditions and threw it at the banner today.

Got Rikku! YEAAAAAAH!!

Also worth mentioning is that when the Moogle was in the rewards, you needed 150 Relics per week. It's gonna keep changing on a weekly basis, or at least the top prize outside Lapis and a Ticket will.

I can't avoid filling a game with awful memes, even if I want to. It's in my bones...!
Speaking of pulls, I did my 11 pulls the day they released but neglected to post at the time. Figured I'd share them now.

So first was my guaranteed 5* pull using a bunch of lapis I'd saved from doing story and whatnot. Figured I'd get the salt out of the way immediately.

Hey, the very first one is the rainbow. I wonder who-



Um.

Well then.



That's enough to make this anniversary already a win. Although swapping out Amelia for Cid will leave my usual lineup without a defense break.

So let's see, after that the free 11 is sure to be trash.



Y'know what, FFBE

sometimes, you're all right.



So uh, jokes aside, it was a pretty good anniversary pull set. :v: Not many new lower-rarities (bedevilingly, Zidane continues to elude me and with both Reberta and Cid in the main squad that's going to start to be a real problem) but hell, I can't complain about getting one of the best attackers in the game's history to go alongside my extant S-tier attacker.

If anything, I'm... a little unsure how to best use Rem at this point. :v: I already have a Y'shtola I'm very satisfied with, and while I do have Rem's dagger from her event, I didn't get Siphon Delta (I know). So I'm a little unsure of what she should be using in her off-hand - there don't seem to be any other +mag daggers currently in global. And I'm a little unsure of when to use her vs. Shtola, since Shtola has already been doing heavy lifting for me and has been able to provide pretty much anything I conceivably need out of a healer. And I, somehow, managed to snag a Tilith during my paltry number of rolls on the BF banner...

Basically, she seems more useful as a magical attacker? Is that about the size of it?

I'm almost certainly going to pick up the Adamant chest, since I'm feelin' good about BE at this point, it's a good deal compared to their usual offers and I do need to get a Rikku...

The way you should work Rem is to give her some form of Dual Wield, stack as much MAG as humanly possible on her, take a friend Orlandeau along with your own, chain their Divine Ruinations, and finish it all off with her Dagger Boomerang. It's basically one of the strongest finishers in the game once her multiplier is maxed, and hits twice with dualwield due to being a physical MAG based ability.
This should leave you with enough party space for a tank, offensive breaker and dedicated healer/buffer, which, coincidentally, WoL can fill in for the former two.

In his current state, he can straight-up out-perform Tilith, though. The only thing he cannot do is AoE full raise, and I remain unconvinced of the practical utility of that skill. About the only thing he lacks is AoE debuff cleanse.

Yeah, Discord enlightened me to the insanity that is dagger boomerang Rem. I can even make it work kind of cheapo for now, thanks to her innate dual wield, but obviously I'm going to want to pull Zidane or someone so I can shove a Draco Spike into her other hand.

EDIT: I'm so glad I got her dagger now, too - it's on par with any other BiS weapon she could possibly get. If only there was another decent +MAG dagger, you wouldn't even need to think about materia-based DW and just use her innate.

AOE Full Raise is good. I was a hater, but give her some survivability and she will actually be the last person standing after your tank falls to big hits and everyone dies to a giant MAG attack.

I don't have her special Dagger. What's the best non-TM one I can give her to do this? Also, do I need Dual Wield on both her and Orlandeau?

If you lack her unique dagger, then Dual Wield is mandatory on her, because right now no other daggers give any +mag at all. On Rem, the dagger gives further extra +mag, making it a match for any other BiS rods, and she gets innate dual wield for daggers, so even if you lack a DW materia you can still get the double hits for Boomerang just from sticking another weapon in her off-hand (and if we ever get another +mag dagger or a second shot at her unique, she could simply DW those passively and let the player load her up with pure +mag materia). Her current ideal build requires DW anyway, but without her unique weapon it's 100% required because you'll be giving her standard mage gear otherwise and she can't DW that.

EDIT: Also, she suffers a fairly heavy penalty to MAG boost - or rather, doesn't activate her strongest passive - without a dagger equipped in at least one hand. So there's that too.

TLDR you'll need DW for them both, yes.

There are plenty of shards to get and upgrade 2 kelsus. I think the total available is ~900 if you're doing the quests every day and got the ones off King Mog

It's 300 to summon Kelsus and 60 to awaken to 6*, so 720 in total to summon and awaken two. However Kelsus' banner says it's limited to one per player, have people actually summoned a second and the banner is wrong or is double Kelsus just theorycrafting so far?

All sensitivity has long ago atrophied
i have summoned a second by accident while thumbing through and dropping my phone and catching it.

I do not know if we will get enough shards to awaken a second, but the concensus is that there will be enough shards to awaken at least 1 to 6*.

I currently have 27 shards, and 2 punchy big hands.

Bracer finished and Leon #3 joins the TM Squad. Olive's up to 1133atk now. :toot:

Thinking of dropping Grace for another Leon to get Dark Knight Soul sooner. Grace's TM would be really nice for Fryevia (or maybe even Tilith due to more MP and SPR) but she's not a default member of my main squad since it's currently Orlandu/Olive/Rikku/Tilith/WoL. I guess in pure dps mode it'd still be Orlandu/Tidus/Fryevia/Olive/Tilith though.

I had 212 last week when it rolled over and then immediately turned in 4 quests for a dozen more. Hit 120 this morning. Averaging 200 per week means people will have the 40% ATK/MAG/DEF/SPR materia around mid November, and 30% in early October. Can't wait! :shepface:
