Agreed posted:I'm using refresh pots to stock up on gil because I want to do Ramza for sure, and... eventually grind out at least one of Eileen or Fohlen depending. Probably Fohlen, love the chocabo and he's potted up I have 5 fohlens, currently using 2 in Arena. However I'll probably put 4 there with Ayaka, two dual-wielding and two DH to gently caress over any 100% evade units I come across. Vortex enhancements will make it one of the best low-budget offense + defense arena abilities: Imbue weapon with wind, decrease wind resistance, and add 2 evasion stacks, all while dealing AoE damage. It's not too expensive to enhance at 25/20/8/1/0 power crysts, and it'll do good work.

Fohlen has made it into my party on purpose a lot even decently lately (well, when I went for Bahamut - innate reduce encounters that was not bugged!), despite not being super meta in his skillset (right on the edge, though, I remember when I pulled him thinking - "at least I finally pulled a chainer, but...") he nevertheless is easy to gear for full dodge, has innate provoke that's decent, and can do some damage at the same time Noctis fills his role as provoking dodge tank that can still pack heat way better though, among the many things he does if you need it. I wish I'd pulled this dude in February instead of December but hey man better late than never RNG can kiss my rear end btw I'm about 360 NRG into a quest for 5 Power Heavicrysts and I have so many guard and tech ones now, so many, still 5 to go on Power It's a real bad streak, feeling like an rear end in a top hat for not getting turtles in exchange for that NRG right now. (No sooner do I post than I get 2 power heavies in the next run, but still, this has been unfortunate a bit) Agreed fucked around with this message at 06:22 on Jan 8, 2018 |

Curious as to what the Lasswell GE buffs will be. “Make him more versatile” was the claim but I really don’t know what that means. There’s a lot of ways they could tweak him. But hopefully he’s a tad more on par with the rest of the CG dudes. I understand he’s going to lag behind just by nature of being released first, but still.

Yes, but the ramp up is only 2 turns and doesn't effect your ability to FTK. I'm on the fence about enhancing Ramza now that I have Roy. Really doesn't seem like it would be worthwhile unless we encounter a boss that has a ton of AoE instakill stuff and you have to float him with Rikku reraises.

HGH posted:Ramza also doesn't break enemies with his song, so there's that, although I doubt many used Roy for his breaking potential. Yeah, the full-break on the final song is nice but ultimately not that useful, since most bosses are immune to 2-3 of the breaks anyways. You can easily get away with using another unit to apply whatever single breaks you need. Roy's LB song is where it's at, it's just plain stronger when maxed and he doesn't lose access to it if you switch him around in 10-man trials. The question then becomes, can you wait for his LB song or do you need a really strong full buff + MP/HP regen right away? If you can't afford to wait, Ramza will be your man. Edit: Cao Ni Ma posted:See I loving new it that that the moment I started working on my magic team that they'd release the Aileen enhancements. Same here. I have three Aileens, I am going to kit every single one of them the gently caress out. I'll be back from the TMR mines in 2 months or so.

Office Thug posted:The question then becomes, can you wait for his LB song or do you need a really strong offensive buff + MP regen right away? Turn 1 of the chain is same strength defensive buffs and hp regen as Ramza. At the start of turn 3 he’s the same as Ramza. At turn 5 there’s breaks (so you don’t have to continue with your other breaker most likely), turn 7 is just better. So if there’s a fight which lasts 2 turns but you absolutely must have Ramza for the defensive buffs to also survive 2 turns and offensive buffs to edge out a 2 turn kill, yes, Ramza is better for that.

Cao Ni Ma posted:See I loving new it that that the moment I started working on my magic team that they'd release the Aileen enhancements. luckily a single aileen is a bit light on materia requirements since fist mastery/veritas of the heavens/dual wield occupy three of the four slots so you just naturally toss adventurer v in the last one. multiple aileens is a different story since there's only one aigiaons arm, although i suppose that lets you go with greatsword mastery and you only need the two champion belts, but that does let you use genji glove for more stuff i suppose.

God help me if I end up pulling new years chocobro. And then you run into the problem that Aileen cant chain for poo poo on 10 mans till Camille gets her 6*. I think I'll stick with my T.Terras and Christine for the time being, but I'll probably enhance one and gear her eventually.

I think I remember hearing about evolutions that required 5 copies of that particular unit. on the JP servers they introduced a new tier, 7*, which requires merging 2 copies of a base 5-star unit. They added super TMRs too, which are good but not meta-defining iirc (mostly big stat sticks etc.). Those need even more copies of units although they have mentioned adding special STMR moogles. None of that is particularly close to coming to global. They upped the 5* gacha rates by a significant amount here?

Mystea (JP Mistair) is here, bringing the AOE magic cover tank meta. Cloud is here, ushering in the era of True Doublehand (TDH, also shin-doublehand) Fixed Dice (FD) builds for whales. Roy is here and Ramza enhancements are supposed to be next, meaning the bard meta is starting. Other unit things to note: Noctis and his TMR were un-nerfed. Notable limited release units you won't get were Halloween's Illusionist Nichol, who can turn any other unit into an AOE physical cover tank, and Christmas's Christine, who among other unique things can perfect chain with enhanced T.Terra.

Estark, Dragon Lord got one, and then Marquis deLeon (who was actually a freebie from raid summons and raid points) I imagine Y’shtola will get one. But JP just had a raid with the player created units and Kelsus is still at 6* max so I doubt he’ll get one.

Using Large Sword Mastery + Proud Fencer for that, of course Aigaion's kit of punchfist stuff for powerful robo-fisting, and Sworn Six's Pride Wind to give spear's the edge I have enough Leons that getting a Dark Knight Soul would be a 1500 lapis venture so I might knock that one out soon as I am now using Lightbringer on Orlandeau... I also use A2 as my main grinder physical DPS but I am in love with the oldman for his single slot utility now that I've got his passives to +2 and Divine Ruination to +2 (ended up being more than 700 NRG to get a total of 8 power heavicrysts, wooo) Maybe I should have waited for Aileen but until I got Aileen I didn't even have a good source of earth element damage for my A2 (and I still don't, as I haven't TMR'd her yet and dunno when that will be the priority). Now Aileen is suddenly even more badass than the oldman, and I've spent my resources on him. Welp. I can still get three high Atk physical attackers with light element and none with earth.

Agreed posted:I wish I had 10 more mastery materia. Using Large Sword Mastery + Proud Fencer for that, of course Aigaion's kit of punchfist stuff for powerful robo-fisting, and Sworn Six's Pride Wind to give spear's the edge No, you did good enhancing the old guy since you are actively using him and getting a lot of mileage out of him. It's good to act in the moment and not just wait to invest into cool poo poo just because you know one day the meta will have moved on (the meta will always keep moving). But on top of being a good momentary decision, we know the old man also won't fall out of the meta for a good long time, since he'll keep having more ATK via passives than Enhanced DV. And when Sephiroth comes out his crew of potential partners will expand even further. Aileen in comparison has piss-poor options for chaining partnes. My general rule regarding enhancements is you should not enhance units unless you are ready to use them or actively using them over your other units, in terms of gear, stat/burst pots, etc.. I learned that the hard way when I enhanced a second Ace to hopefully have two Aces chaining Tri-Beam Laser+2, but since I had literally no gear for either of them, by the time I got one of them up to a decent level they had fallen way behind the meta and the second one was never used once. I made that mistake back in Summer time, and because I hit that enhance button back then I am now missing three Power T5s and a bunch of Power T4s to enhance my Aileens and I'm just kicking myself for it because I could easily get my Aileens going with just a week of TMR farming. And there's gently caress-all I can do about it except waiting for multiple KM and story events.

The single handed bow made me wish there was a bow attack materia just so I could use the Archer suit for an extra 30% attack. Well you can do the same with the gunner apron and a gun I guess.

She can get 300% bonus atk with Genji and 50/50/40/40 materia - you’d need earrings/bracer for the second slot. You could also use plain DW + robo fist and champ belts to get to 290% bonus atk. I would assume the Genji build probably uses iron duke. I’d be surprised if the robofist build wouldn’t pull ahead of the Genji build. I don’t know what you’d use to squeeze in Yun’s chest piece though. Brave suit might be better because it only overcaps you by 5% without sacrificing the base damage on champ belts (and she can’t equip training clothes). Amusingly she’s one of the few dps that don’t really need heavy armor. There are setups you can do with it (dv materia) but it’s kind of overkill considering how high her base % atk is. With odin/bahamut the robo fist build is right at 1200 atk if my napkin math is accurate. The Genji/iron duke build is about 25 points lower. Cruel Oath is also an option but it’s only 7 points above iron duke because you have to downgrade to Demon Mail. Ugato fucked around with this message at 20:28 on Jan 9, 2018 |

I did a math thing and crunched numbers for how bad farming ~11 x T4 power crysts will be via either the Chamber of Gems or the next best T4/NRG Story Event route. Here's what I got in case anyone's interested. Here are the specific color T4 per NRG ratios for using # Xons + Raven Cape (Cape = 2 Xons, everyone should get it asap). I'm using the previous story event "Fate of the Dragoon" as reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/7hr0s4/se6_fate_of_the_dragoon_loot/ The 90 NRG route ~ Best spot if you cn handle it with enough Xons 5 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 344 NRG 4 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 346 NRG 3 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 396 NRG 2 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 692 NRG * Those jumps are because the base chance of the primary T4 drop is 25% (there is a secondary drop too but it's basically "gently caress you" odds of rolling). With 4 Xons and a cape, you can get that primary T4 drop to 100% and after that having more Xons is basically pointless since they only boost the secondary T4 drop chance. But, if you have less than that, the loss is pretty dramatic, as seen, due to how significant a base 25% chance of drop is when it comes to buffs. The 75 NRG Route 5 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 417 NRG 4 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 469 NRG 3 Xons + Cape --> one T4 every 536 NRG The 85 NRG route has the exact same T4 drop chance as the 75 NRG route, so it's just plain worse. For reference, here's what you get from the Chamber of Gems according to this very thorough community survey which is probably accurate in every way: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yY0DuB0PrUUe6q0uNxZwE1MluM9jx4waJlvtavR-Vzk/edit#gid=2110432825 Xon/Cape + Locke/Pod -> one T4 every 563 NRG So, if you can farm the next Story Event 90 NRG route with at least 3 Xons + two murder units, definitely go for it. If you have a really good murder unit, shoot for 4 Xons. Get the loving Cape also, that's literally worth 2 Xons and none of this really works out that well without the cape. Edit: Oh, and take all of this with a grain of salt. The drop mechanics in this weird obtuse game are far from understood and not everything works the same way ~ locke/pod don't work at all for T1-2 crysts in Story Events, but do in the Chamber, but multiple Lockes/Pods don't stack and neither do multiple Xons/Capes in the Chamber. This is still basically voodoo poo poo right now. Office Thug fucked around with this message at 23:33 on Jan 9, 2018 |

Aileen is probably one of the most versatile characters to gear (actually I think she's the best) because she can use and exploit everything except light shields Like I can get to 300% attack by via champions belts, dual wield and ,50,40,60 materia. If I had fire chocobros shirt I could get more attack from using deschs instead and using 50/50/60 materia
