Nickoten posted:Okay so today's Mana Stronghold daily is the real deal. I got plenty of Lesser Power, White, and Black orbs just as promised (unlike yesterday's which never gave me any Lessers despite those being the featured item). I think it's probably worth pausing in the event dungeon to take advantage of this. Yeah it's awesome. I'm up to about a dozen 3* orbs from doing Normal today, plus a ton of Lessers.

Rolled a 5* Judgement Staff with Mithril, unfortunately Rydia can't use staves for some reason. Should I give it to Tyro to boost his magic or keep him on the harp so he can damage effectively from the back row?

Still couldn't beat him. Turns out he not only has a lot of HP, but sometimes he just decides to sit back and spam his AOE non-stop. My earlier attempt against him had him using only his useless single-target attack. It'd be kind of nice if there way some way to tell what actually was classified as "ranged" or not.

You're better off letting your three melee dudes do the leg work and saving him to blast the bosses with magic in my opinion.

Probably not, I've been off all day and out shopping so I've been able to burn my stamina before it caps since 7am when I woke up. Wouldn't get anywhere near this many runs on a normal work day.

Gave Cloud a Defender(FF4 3 star sword) and the Light Staff to Tyro with Cure and Fire and then Thunder/Thundara to Rydia and just got a Master clear on Waterway expert, since Cloud did over 5k per hit with thunder strike and boost then 2k with ice strike after that. Rydia's now got a 4* rod, but it's only 5/15 because I burned most of my weapon xp fodder on the staff. It's still a 27 Mag boost over a Rod++ though. Time for floor 60.

Welp, I decided to pull for a relic for the hell of it and I got... Tifa's 5* glove. Guess I'm using her!  She's pulling 9999s with Somersault, as expected, whereas everyone but Cloud is struggling to break four digits. The very concept of the Hundred Gunner makes me mildly ill, since I haven't been leveling any of my mages (Current party is Kain/Tidus/Wakka/Cloud/Tifa, with Wakka and his crappy Chakram being the weak link that gets stuck with buffing) and my party is averaging about 20 right now...  Where's a Long Range Materia when you need one?

Yeah my team could not drop the gunner with 4 Thunders and 4 Thundaras. At least I have 10 days to farm up some better magic gear and raise up Black Mage I guess.

I'm in the same boat, no mages. But I've got jump on Kain (although I haven't honed it and dont expect to be able to any time soon. Need wind and power orbs) thunder and thundara on Tyro, Wakka has an Elven bow and Tyro has a dark bow. I'm gonna hone thundara after the Thursday daily dungeon and then go for it. Hope the others can be damage sponges I guess.

Why even bother trying right now? If you do pretty much anything for the next week you're going to gain levels, and the dungeon is here for ten more days. Save your stamina, go do something productive like farm orbs or XP.

I wont be trying again for a few days but now I know that my Rydia was doing well and my Tyro, not so much.

I beat it using a strategy someone in the old topic posted about. I gave Weedgoku the buster sword and Jump. Killed the drat thing in one hit. Turns out it only has like 8k health or something.

E: ^^^^ WELP should have tried that in the first place I guess.Nickoten posted:May I ask what your caster's magic stat was? I'm trying to figure out whether I should attempt it. Rydia is at 96 and was doing the Thundara's and Tyro is at a measly 64 and was doing the Thunders. Thundara was hitting for about 1600-1800 and Thunder for 300-400. The previous boss had somewhere north of 10k health so I'm guessing this one is somewhere around there unless they reduced its health to make up for the ranged attacks only thing. I'm pretty sure I could pull it off if I brought in the Black Mage and put Jump and the buster sword on Tyro but I'm not entirely sure I'd make it to the boss with that set up. It's also worth mentioning that with Rydia in the back row and 78 defense, 126 evade she barely survived long enough to get her Thundaras off but I think I may have had bad luck with the attacks the boss was throwing out.

I think I'll be fine with stacking Thundara and Thunder on Rydia and having someone else Boost Wakka. The party's approaching level 30 so that's pretty good right?

In the off chance anyone tries to fight the boss using thunder strike on Tyro with a ranged weapon let me know if it works. I'll add it to the list for tips to toss in the OP if so.

Leveled him up to 20 with eggs and he's already got as much attack as a level 30 Tidus using similar weapons. jerkstores fucked around with this message at 03:42 on Apr 2, 2015 |

I've gotten some 4* axes, which has gone nicely. Experimenting with a bow on Tyro over one, seems... okay? I'm running him as my healer/debuffer currently.

This game is pretty easy even without spending any Mythril. I'm holding out for 50 so I can get the 11 rolls, but I'm already ridiculous enough to make it through most of Shinra Tower. (Got stuck at the Hundred Gunner, so farming up Dark Attack, some lightning spells, and a decent rod for Rydia before I swing back through there.) I can't wait to see how bonkers it is once you get a couple of 5 star items. If you can handle it, Shinra Floor 40 is the best xp/stam in the game outside of the EXP dungeons, and 39 is right behind it. You need to run 35-39 before you get one shot at 40, I haven't done the math on whether it's more efficient to hit 40 right away or hang out on 39 forever yet, but I think it favors doing full runs. This game is amazing and I'm ecstatic that DeNA appears to have basically nailed this license. Why yes, I do want an FF game which is entirely about munchkining out all of my characters. That's all I ever did in FF anyway.

I made one of the katanas that the Shinra event gives into a 3 star and threw it on him, saving the last one for Sephiroth. It's alright. Edit: For grinding, I've been doing the Underground Waterway South/North. They give 2.5k Normal exp and are easy to mastery for 5k EXP per 13 stamina. Pretty efficient.

Any tips for Vargas on Mt Kolts? He destroys me with Gale Cut and I can't seem to output enough damage. I assume I should just level more but does anyone have a recommended ability/composition and level for him?

After that it's just a matter of rushing Vargas down in a DPS race. If you're taking too much damage, level up a bit or get better gear! Beat Underground Waterway, but didn't master it. I just didn't have enough DPS to avoid taking the scores of time/damage taken, unfortunately. Even with perfect mastery of the other zones. Damnit!

I like this game, but as someone with very limited time at the moment the stamina system is rough. Higher level stuff just takes so much stamina for each stage and I can't play in small chunks throughout the day to make the most of the regeneration. Needing to be online to play doesn't help either since I could probably steal a few minutes to burn through my stamina at work but there's absolutely no reception in the bathroom there. Considering how little content there is at the moment that's probably for the best though.

Yeah the stamina cost for the higher levels is really burning my rear end, especially since there's no way to fill stamina other than the first time/mastery mana stones and premium currency. Spend a few minutes doing 3 levels then wait 2 hours to do it again.
