The only thing is that they also have innate reflect. As for the red dragon, I'd say just either skip it, you absolutely do NOT need a blood sword and you can survive with a gold hairpin from a later location. Or you run from the chest and retry for the 2 yellow dragon fight. In fact I would go beyond just suggesting and say you should do this. get your beastmaster to catch one, and if you've got someone else who learned it do it too. Yellow Dragons can be deathclawed which will give you a free catch of them. They'll be your best friend for the last W2 fight.

Ok I picked up a second Berserker at the earth shrine, so, lol, I have Red mage / Dancer / Berserker / Berserker. I'll keep the 2 berserkers because that's #bersekerrisk which I opted for. Is Ninja / Black mage a good match for 2 Berserkers? What do I do about healing?

Berserkers with !Black6 will dominate with the Gaia Hammer and Rune Axe. Ninja would also love !Black6 and Black Mage would use !Throw. To heal, you'd need to grind cash for flame rings and self target with fira(ga) Or just murder everything before they get a chance to hurt you.

Huh, I stand mistaken, I swear that I've tried to cast on them and get destroyed by it. e: also forgot you don't NEED to spam lightning 4 times to end the last fight in W2. You have blue mage that's enough. FeyerbrandX fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Jun 20, 2021 |

Looks like my run for this year is Ninja/Zerky/Red/Black. There's some synergies there but it's not perfect or anything. Still, when it was before Black's reveal I was certainly a mite more worried. Trying to decide how much statue grinding to do.

Run 1: Yes I job faired for 4 Freelancers. ultrafilter posted:It's time, but I'm going to do something different this year. Everyone loves quadzerks, but how about quad geomancers or quad red mages? I'll throw in $10 per regular job that someone does a quad run of, and $20 for Freelancer/Mime/Gladiator/Oracle/Cannoneer. Some of those runs will be pretty miserable, but it's for a good cause, and let's face it: thread regulars have done worse. "Hey Freelancers can Triple Crown, so I can do this" (Granted it took me until the week before fiesta to think what I can do in order to touch Omega with Freelancers). DalaranJ posted:
"Oh well there's a spreadsheet in the Discord we use that can tell me all the farmable drops I can use, this is possible" (tl;dr- Farmed in the Wind Shrine World 1 for Elixirs, grinded in the desert for levels, killed paos for tents and cure beasts for more elixirs in World 2, and did too many things in W3/Void for Omega and because the power spikes in w3 are big) nrook posted:

Honestly I held A to fight NED, saw his last part enrage and killed someone with a Meteor, and I decided to kill off the other two. And the Shinryu kill for prosperity. Kyrosiris posted:
Yeah I know I took too long that I lost this in the middle of my attempts but gosh darn it this made me realize that I could Triple Crown with four Freelancers in the first place and there's no point to doing any fiesta run if I can't Triple Crown. The setup: The girls were zombified with those set ups in order to be dummy targets on Omega's counters and for possible rolls to heal Bartz. I should have put on armor with higher magic evasion than Gaia Gear's 18 but I assumed I needed to shuffle equipment on Bartz. Speaking of, that Bartz set up was after attempt 32, when I decided to use the equipment glitch to transfer over confusion prevention while still having better stats. Funnily enough in the middle of my winning attempt I only realized I could have used the glitch with the Hermes Sandals while using a Protect Ring for more magic evasion and use the Masamune to apply Haste. For those wondering how I have multiple Aegis Shields- The Strat: Mainly I needed to be at least 5600 HP to attack after every Wave Cannon. For the part of Omega's script to go from Wave Cannon to its two turns in a row, I needed to be at least over 3600 while keeping my turn up for a possible bad Maelstrom roll. So this was the winning attempt (Attempt #39): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jckk-Pr1mLM I made many execution mistakes that should have costed me the run but Omega was particularly merciful I suppose. Edit: Oh right since I didn't edit the video a few things that may pop up in there- 1. I stretched my arms while holding my controller and the triggers hit the desk so I think it pressed on either my fast forward or rewind triggers. Funnily enough I switched to a different emulator than my usual one so I couldn't use those functions even by accident while recording but uh 2. The gil being capped out is that I stayed on a *8 exp/gil multiplier rom I made using Exdeath because I really didn't want to grind to 99 for Omega without doing that. Or at least within the timeframe. I beat the game in the middle of the week and did all of my Omega attempts over the weekend. That was the run. I don't need to play anymore for the Fiesta. Maybe. I'll think about it after the next two weeks. TheWonderTrickster fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jun 21, 2021 |

As far as I'm aware, this only works on the Matrix version, and it requires !Mix to make the Skull Eater capturable.

Come to think of it, do we even have any proof that it works? I theorized that Squirrelaja might be possible in Matrix, but I don't recall ever seeing it proved. E: Ace Transmuter posted:⦁ (CHM) The !Mix effect Goliath Tonic now works on monsters. For those curious, this is the Matrix version difference that makes it theoretically possible to !Capture Skull Eater. As for actually pulling it off, I've never seen it done, and haven't tried it yet myself. Ace Transmuter fucked around with this message at 04:29 on Jun 22, 2021 |
