Klungar posted:e: Alternatively, should I grind Figaro to get my Lesser Lightnings so I can get some of these Thundara/Thunder Strikes people are talking about? By all means you want the Elemental Strikes, especially if you've got a decent weapon on Cloud. It basically makes him outdamage Rydia nine times out of ten and makes it so you don't have to keep her fragility in the party if you don't want. That may change later on in the game, but for now, physical attack is king.

Probably a really obvious thing but don't forget you can stick Boost in the second slot on Cloud then have him Boosting Kain on the ranged bosses. Better than him just sitting there doing nothing.

Of what I can spend my minor summoning orbs on... is there anything worth getting? I am forseeing picking up Dagger or Yuna when they come out so I'm planning around that a bit. (Hopefully with a better limit break than Rydia)

Both Tidus and Wakka can, though Wakka is generally going to want to be attacking during that fight, for what little it can do. wall monitor posted:Of what I can spend my minor summoning orbs on... is there anything worth getting? Bomb is better than Goblin, and both are better per-use than the lowest level Black Magic, but both fall short of the -ara spells from what little I've seen. Plus there's that whole "one use per level" thing as opposed to Black Magic's two. Klungar posted:If I'm in the 16-17 level range, how far could I realistically get in the Shinra dungeon?

Beyond that I'm not too sure, since I was around 20 when I started it. Gut instinct says you should be able to push to floor 45/50 at the very least.

Nickoten posted:I'm around this level, and beat the first ranged boss just barely (it took out both Tyro and Wakka, though I think I still had a Thundara and four Thunders left). Could you post some information about your team? Like, say, what Rydia's magic and defense was at, and what Tyro's attack was at? Yeah. The battles were short enough that I could count the HP, too. Hundred Gunner had 8-9k~ HP. Tyro had a 4 star Charkram, some minor + attack boosting 3 star, a power wrist, was boosted by Tius, and each of his Thunder Strikes did 1.5k-2k~ each. Rydia has a 1 star rod and some awful armor. Her Thundaras did 1.1k~ each. Her Magic damage wasn't that high. Kain had a 3 star javelin and power wrist with a protect verst on. Jumps did 1k~. Two rounds dropped him. For the second boss, who seemed to have 13-15k~, it got harder because I don't have level 2 gems so Tyro quickly had to go into regular attacks for a (boosted) 700 each while Kain got just enough limit to do two double jumps as Rydia tossed out 500~ dmg thunders. Hundred Gunner isn't bad since he'll do one big attack, but once his turn comes up again he'll be so low he'll only use the AoE attack, so just hope Rydia doesn't instantly die from the get-go. Heli-Gunner, on the other hand, can be a pain but luckily he spread his 400~dmg autoattacks out so nobody died.

Are Harps long range? I seem to remember them being so in IV. Just wondering if I can slap that on Tyro along with Lightning Strike or whatever or if I need to grind up a bow or boomerang or something.

Harps are long range, but the Silver Harp's damage is pretty rear end even for being a 3*. Jump is also long-range, so if you happened to have gotten either of the rate-up relics (the Buster Sword or the Grand Glove) then just slap one of those + Jump on Tyro and have him ride the synergy bonus into obscene damage.

I think the problem with the long-range bosses is that the game doesn't seem to give you any guaranteed long-range weapons worth a drat. A 2* chakram probably won't cut it. Blew all my mythril on draws last night, and got all terrible 3* weapons, most of which can't be used by anyone worth having. *sigh* I need some 4* weapons, or at least some 3* armor.

Beat Shinra Tower. Had to use a Mythril to redo the Rufus fight because Rydia got one shot by a trash mob and it made me lose. Didn't get mastery bonus but I did get a 3 star summoning orb, which was nice. Sephiroth unlocked, at least. Can redo it later for a mastery.

 Tip/info stuff added for the OP. Feel free to mention things I forgot or overlooked.Nephzinho posted:So even if there are better Stamina::XP places, is there any reason not to grind the difficulty appropriate Daily dungeon for orbs/eggs/etc so that you're getting more than just an xp return on your stamina? If you can grind the normal daily dungeon, or better yet 1-2 levels of hard, do that instead IMO. Even if the XP is a bit slower it doesn't matter because you're getting lots of orbs for 2-3 star skills and if you get a team setup with a bunch of 2-3 star skills that have 4-6 uses each you're going to have the firepower to murder lots of stuff. Nickoten posted:I'm around this level, and beat the first ranged boss just barely (it took out both Tyro and Wakka, though I think I still had a Thundara and four Thunders left). Could you post some information about your team? Like, say, what Rydia's magic and defense was at, and what Tyro's attack was at? My setup was on a level 30-32 team of Cloud/Tidus/Kain/Tyro/Rydia. Tidus on Boost duty for Kain and Tyro (  )Tyro had the harp and Thunder Strike Kain had a 3 star dagger and Jump (2 uses) Rydia has the Light Rod from clearing waterway expert/master. It's only 6/15 but it has 49 MAG. Its Soul Break (boost user's Magic) is Black Mage only and probably just makes him on par with Rydia's superior Magic stat. Tidus boosted Tyro the round before the floor 60 boss, then Kain once the boss fight started. Thundara was doing nearly 3k and Thunder Strike was around 1k. I think the fight took 2 rounds, maybe 3? Rydia still can't compete with Cloud though. Unboosted, he can thunder strike something for 1800-1900 that she thundara's for about 1400-1600. Boosted, Cloud does around 2.8k to the same enemy (the golems in today's daily dungeon hard levels). KataraniSword posted:Harps are long range, but the Silver Harp's damage is pretty rear end even for being a 3*. Harps, like Tyro, suffer from being spread evenly across multiple things. I have the harp on him but after I clear the event dungeon I'll probably give him the Light Staff and let him club stuff with it while tossing out Cure/Boost as needed.

Recently picked the game up off the App Store, it's definitely a lot better than some of the other freemium offerings that Squeenix has shat out in the past. Also realized that the MC (you) is more a punchy guy than a magic user. Can maybe do a QUARTER to a half of Black Mage's Magical damage. Too bad I haven't grinded enough to get physical abilities for my party yet! Also Tidus wrecks poo poo hard.

That's what I would do for harder content since White Mage is kinda bad. I switch him around between a 4* Axe and 4* Staff depending on how basic the stuff i'm trying to clear is.

Time to debate who I find less useful, Rydia or Kain. On one hand, Rydia can cast magic which is sometimes useful. On the other had, magic seems super trashy and she dies in one hit to almost quite literally everything.

I decided to drop 30 bucks on the game because I usually do as a kind of "thank you" to good freemium games that don't require you to spend money to advance. Did an 11 pull and got 10 3* items and 1 4*. Thanks for nothing, game.

Kimahri also turned into whatever a Kimarimasu is. I'd have a hard time picking a party of five from that. Probably Steiner, Sabin, Snow/Red XIII, Dagger/Selphie because healer, and Golbez/Vivi. If mages weren't lackluster I'd probably drop Red. I'm perturbed Golbez has such low Strength (although decent enough for a mage). He's a big muscular warlock!

How do I get a 4* Kazekiri ? I've done 2* Kazekiri + 2* Kazekiri = 3* Kazekiri But going further 3* Kazekiri + 2* Kazekiri still equals 3* Kazekiri ( but level 15) Do I have to make two 3* Kazekiris and combine them? Somehow I've got a 4* sonic knuckle but I'm fairly sure I only combined 3 items to get it.

If you have a 3* item that goes up to level 15 then you might have a glitch, I'm looking at a 4* 15/15 Kazekiri on my phone right now.

Something to keep in mind: Blind works on a lot of bosses. So does Poison. Make Dark Attack and Poison. Seriously. Sometimes, though, it whiffs, or the boss picks the wrong target, or Rydia insults its mom and it just goes ham on her, or whatever. When that happens, force quit the game. You'll restart at the beginning of the last round you fought (so, the beginning of the boss fight, for example). It feels a little like cheating but gently caress it I'm not waiting to regain 50 stam so I can have another try at Mastering Octomammoth. (That's how I got my Light Rod.) Currently finishing up Shinra Tower, two rounds from Sephiroth. Other tips: for the two no-melee bosses, put Silver Harp on Tyro and give him Lightning Strike. Give Rydia Thundara and Thunder. Consider putting Protect on Tyro for Rydia (you'll have to drop Lit Strike, under no circumstances should Tyro not be packing Cura). Rydia is the key to those fights and you need her alive. ed: Rydia is seriously bonkers with a Light Rod. Go get one from Underground Waterway Elite. You've got over a week to finish this event, don't rush it. Dessert Rose fucked around with this message at 01:55 on Apr 3, 2015 |
