I'm back in after quitting for a bit, since there was an FF6 event. Got myself a Trance Terra and fished up enough stuff to get her, Cecil, Terra, and Firion to 6*. Had I known I was going to get a Trance Terra, I'd have done Kefka, but I'll do him next time. What should I be doing? Mostly just work my way through the story to get better gear? I'm still on the first island, story-wise.

I started the Bahamut event late (haven't been playing a ton, but I'm up to the Robe, at least), but I did throw in and get a Reberta, who seems to be a total monster. Currently running 5* Vaan, 6* Firion, Terra, Trance Terra, and Reberta and have Pro pretty well under control. ELT seems a bit out of my reach. I'm also super close to a Gugnir, one more 3* Moogle or a Kain and I can just moogle the rest and make her even better. She's already at like 400 attack with a Flame Lance, which I think is pretty drat high since I'm still in Dirnado. I suppose my Trance Terra goes huge when I finally get to Kolts and get a pair of Earrings for her, too. Who should I work on next? I have a bunch of potential 6*s, but I'm not really sure what I need. I currently have Firion, Terra, Trance Terra, Reberta, and Cecil at 6*, Kefka, Chiziru, and Cerius at 5* max level and ready to go, then a collection of potential 6*s. I'm wondering if Rain would fill Vaan's spot of buffer/debuffer better or if I should look into Setzer for status or Refia for more hardcore healing than Terra can reliably do. I also have Luka, Nine, Soliel, Exdeath, and Zyrus at 4*, haven't done much with them yet. I currently have Vaan as my Full Break/Focus guy, but like I said, Rain would fit that spot just as well with some work. I also have Celes for Sealing Blade, Lenna for more dedicated healing, Leo, Locke, Zidane, Charlotte, and the Fencer for random gimmick bits, too.

I'll start looking into Refia and Rain, then move onto Setzer. I do have Terra at 6* and honestly, between her and Cecil I never feel like I'm hurting for healing, but a more dedicated support would be nice since Terra's competing with Trance Terra for equipment right now. Thanks for the advice.

Got my Reberta's trust maxed out. Holy poo poo is Crimson Blood strong. I can almost take down the ELT raid Bahamut. I could probably even do it if my team was just a bit more buff. Rain and Refia are almost there, but I need more cactuars to get them to 100. Same deal with Firion. If I can get a Draco Spike Trance Terra will probably be all that I need to make up the difference, but the best thing I have right now is the Drakesclaw Rod for my mages. Maybe I can do Surging Menace and get a Wizard Rod? I got rolled the first time I tried it a few days ago, though. Edit: Woo boy that was a rough one, but I managed. Thanks, Reberta, for being a truck full of bricks. Given that I probably won't be able to afford both, is it a good idea to prioritize the gun over the spear for the Bahamut event, given that I have both Gungnir and Crimson Blood and no good guns?

Cao Ni Ma posted:First bonus unit from the event since friday. gently caress these horse things Yeah, that thing kicks my teeth in every time I see it. It'd probably be fine if I was running a real team, but I'm running the two Kings and a Sice I pulled with Reberta and Trance Terra. And oh my god, I actually overkilled ELT Raid Bahamut. Found someone with a pretty strong Reberta and managed two Raging Thrust/Crimson Death combos to just bury him. Threw in a few Full Breaks and a double Ultima for flavor, but still.  I'm gonna free up some spots on my list if anyone wants on. I'll probably be running one of my 6*s as leader, but I may throw King up for the event. Certainly wouldn't mind some of your guys broken-rear end dudes on my list. My code's 943,217,866. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 03:29 on May 22, 2017 |

Yeah, I wasn't getting anything anyway, so I'm fine with just gacha rewards. I get why people who have more points would be bent, though. I managed to build all 4 pieces of equipment, get my hands on a Gungnir and most of a second, Crimson Blood, and a Draco Spike. It's basically taken me from 'having a hard time with PRO' to 'clearing elite with no KOs'.

Grace seems reasonably solid, is she worth working on? I also pulled a Xon the other day, he's worth working on too, yeah? I'm done with Refia and almost done maxing out Setzer, so I guess I need a new target and a big gently caress-off mech seems like a fun choice.

Would Terra, Trance Terra, and a friend Trance Terra tripling Chaos Wave do the job? I haven't tried that on anything yet, but just two Trance Terras ripped Bahamut apart, so a third on the stack should do some work.

Given that I have Reberta and Trance Terra, are Gilgamesh or Emperor worth the resources once we're done with the FF14 guys? I pulled them a bit ago and Emperor seems pretty good. Also, didn't get enough Giotts to get Stone Killer, guess I'm leaning on Golem for my Stone Killer. Hopefully I can swing enough damage to farm ELT again like I did for Bahamut.

Haven't managed to clear ELT Titan yet, but I've gotten close. I just have a hard time keeping up with the damage. Refia just falls over with a stiff breeze, even in heavy armor with Embolden up. Did get a Yshtola, though, so that'll be nice. Didn't have a dual cast healer.

I think I'm finally starting to get the hang of building chains. I've been using Reberta all wrong, holy poo poo. I just tried TTerra's Chaos Wave, a boosted Mystic Thrust, and a friend Orlandeau's Divine Ruination and just ripped ELT Titan apart. I feel like it'd be better if I had a dual wield for her, but I'll get that soon enough, since I have 6% to go on Zidane. Edit: Also found a new priority for leveling by pulling a Wilhelm. Once I'm done with him (he's at 75), then it'll be Y'shtola and Minfillia. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 19:07 on Jun 3, 2017 |

I'm digging this event. I don't have what it takes to clear ELT without a strong friend yet, but it's definitely making more sense now that I have Mystic Thrust/Chaos Wave chaining more in hand. Got Wilhelm to 100 and he's a total monster, just a brick wall that enemies slam into. Next up is Y'shtola. I kind of think I should have gone with Minfilia first since Refia does a decent enough job, but oh well, having a badass white mage that can do the work should definitely up my team. I'll just have her ready for when we get a new farming event, since I need a lot of Rainbow Blooms. The only real weak link in my team is Rain and he's honestly not that bad for how flexible he is. Certainly wouldn't mind a better breaker, though. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 18:05 on Jun 4, 2017 |

Hustled my way through the Titan rewards and had just enough of the 1% moogles to finish Zidane's TM. Dual Wield loving get.  So what's the deal with this? Just slap two strong weapons on my best hitter and go to town? I threw a Crimson Blood and a Gungnir on Reberta and I'm hoping that'll be suitable. Either that or throw it on Trance Terra and dual Draco Spike, I guess?

SpaceDrake posted:First of all, I am jealous. That makes a lot of sense, thanks. I guess for now I could lean on her own reduction, maybe throw a Flame Lance on and do Fire Breath->Mystic Thrust. It'll be a while before I get a Holy Lance and probably a decent chunk of time before Dark Knight's soul. I was trying to pick my next TM and I was looking at Dualcast from either Ludmille or TTerra, but Dark Knight's Soul would fit really well on a lot of characters.

With all the Abels I pulled hunting for Wilhelm, I managed a Bowie Knife. Time to see what Setzer can do as part of a chain.  Guessing his deal is either Red Card to build chain or Double Dice with an appropriate Killer as a finisher? And yeah, 100% provoke has changed the way things work for me. Wilhelm's obviously silly, but I'm sure anyone that can pull that much heat is worth the time. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 15:44 on Jun 5, 2017 |

boy are my arms tired posted:Hi y'all just looking for some direction. Just came back, haven't played since launch. Here's my team: Fina's a pretty serviceable white mage at 5*, but you're pretty likely to get an Y'shtola from the raid banner, so she's not a really high priority due to how much better the latter is. Rain's a solid breaker/support and more durable than Vaan, so he's way better at the job. Firion gets a ton of damage-boosting abilities that'll let you take on bigger bosses more easily. Sozhe seems like he could be a pretty serviceable provoke tank (though he's missing the damage mitigation you'd really want) and seems like he could put up some damage, too. I'd probably suggest prioritizing Firion or Y'shtola when you get her. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 01:58 on Jun 6, 2017 |

So I pulled Amelia and Fohlen. Apparently Fohlen's 100 ability is a wind version of Divine Ruination (requires him or someone else to give the elemental debuff, though) and Amelia has curaja, offense and defense breaks, innate dual wield for guns, and a 10-hit attack. Hello new team members.

Hey, I'll take a boosted Firion. Could use a strong chain finisher. On the subject of chaining madness, I think I finally have something that works. Just need to make some story progress to get the Gale Key for Sonic Knuckles and the Air Knife. Fohlen is a totally legit chainer in the vein of Orlandau. I have him with Dual Wield, my Crimson Blood and a Gungnir, plus some attack boosting stuff. I have him paired with my Reberta, who is using a Wind Spear and my Bowie Knife. If I get another Reberta or Trance Terra friend I can almost kill ELT Titan on round 2. If I had some of the better TMs, I could probably do it. It's pretty hosed that he can apply his own -75% wind debuff after dodging an attack. Everyone else on my team wants a spin-up turn, so him needing to use Vortex first is totally fine. Chocobro, best bro. Still a pain in the rear end there's not a wind sword. It's all daggers, knuckles, spears, and katanas, which don't fit super well with a lot of the better chainers.

I'm very impressed with Amelia and I'm glad I had barely enough 6* guff to get her to 100. Giving a unit a knockoff Embolden, offensive and defensive breaks, Curaja, innate dual wield, and a 10-hit AoE attack let's her cover a lot of bases. She's even got pretty good HP! I feel bad replacing Trance Terra, but I manged a 57-chain with Fohlen, Amelia, Reberta, and some friend or another, probably an Orlandau.

I've been using Fohlen for a bit and he's really solid. You open with Vortex, throw a buff on him, then start spamming Sonic Blast as part of your chain. If you get a Speedster counter off, so much the better. Get your best chainers Wind weapons to make it even more destructive.

Bartz wasn't super high on the list, I just saw his level 100 and it caught my eye. I wish there were better wind weapons. I guess I could make more Wind Spears and keep working my way towards the Air Dagger. I guess I should decide on my next 6* after Minfilia. I'm leaning Emperor, but maybe Garland would be a good pick, since I need a hitter and don't have any extra dual wield. I can throw a Wind katana on him and go to town, though Firion would probably be better at that. I feel like I'm good on tanks, healers, and chainers. Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:Using a ticket got me reberta! She's good, right? She's really good. I used her as my main damage dealer before Fohlen. Her big trick is Mystic Thrust for chaining, but her Raging Thrust into Crimson Death combo is also quite strong, especially with a friend Reberta. If you have the right elemental weapons to capitalize, she can even do 50% elemental debuffs. She's also got Recovery Jump, which means she's basically never out of MP in longer fights.

It depends on what you're doing. You're probably better off with the all the time 15% DEF from The Gathering. If Wilhelm's down to half HP, your healer's probably dead, so you're just kind of bleeding out slowly.

So between a pull and an EX ticket, I now have Swimsuit Dark Fina and another Fohlen. I feel like there's a way to take advantage of these facts. If one Fohlen is hosed up, two is probably more hosed up. I guess I'd just replace Reberta with a second Fohlen? What's the deal with Ultima chaining? Just spin up some mages with it and go to town? Because now I have Dark Fina, Trance Terra, a Terra with <5% left of her TM, an extra Trance Terra, and Alma if I really want to do it. Edit: Forget Alma, I have an Emperor kicking around for when I get that TM Ultima. A 5 person dual-cast Ultima team does sound kinda fun, even if it probably isn't as good as an element chaining team. Echophonic fucked around with this message at 16:37 on Jun 25, 2017 |
