If anything her TM is best in slot for any caster or healer that doesn't have innate doublecast and her enhancements will put her as the top chaining damage mage in the game. Two T.Terras will burn through any physical resistant boss like aint no thing (before they die from the swift breeze that'll kill them both next turn)

You guys are right. I shouldn't be salty about pulling her as she's a pretty dope unit. I guess I had WAY too high hopes of pulling a Gilgamesh or Ramza. :p

Also I imagine Lightning's now obsoleted once I get my new pulls up to par.

I wager my standard team going forward is gonna be Orlandu/Freyvia/Refia/Rikku/Cecil? Vaan's probably gonna get his 6* soon, not sure if that's worth piling him in. CoD can also get looped in from time to time.

Looking at the tier list I'm pretty amazed I got three top tier units in my pulls today. It's almost like the game is rewarding me for coming back.

Vaan 6* is crap and your comp is solid.

Agreed. I'm always stoked for Raids and this one is mind bogglingly awful.

I've pulled a couple Mogs, but haven't seen a King Minitaur, and barely even seen any Gigantuars.

I guess they made the rewards crap because the boss doesn't actually attack you?

Didn't this raid come out really early in JP compared to where it came out in GL? IIRC, it was before even Ifrit? They probably just got lazy on the banner rewards and just reused it wholesale.

rabidsquid posted:

the sheen has worn off of aileen some now that i realize she's super loving hard to chain. one of the frequently unspoken things about the chaining meta is that it tends to presume you have two of any of the good chaining units, and, welp.

It's pretty well known (I think) that Aileen and Tidus are for macroers only. Which is why TGC is so loving sought after. Aileen is still sick though, and she's going to only get better.

I hit that 10+1 one time summon and got these:



Fohlen and Xon are the two 6 star capable, Garnet is new to me too. Any of them good or did I get stiffed (notice Fran snuck in there yet again)? I remember people in the thread talking about Xon, prioritize him?

I don't know if you're as sadistic as me when it comes to farming, but Fohlen and Yun also have passive Encounter % reduction skills which makes farming poo poo like megacrysts in Explorations a breeze. Stack on 4x Charm Bangles, Diabolos, and a Fohlen/Yun and you'll rarely fight anything when going through an Exploration.

I did like 400 Fire Shrine runs during the half energy cost event.

I've been playing for like a year, and I'm absolutely poo poo at chaining.

I think chaining is kind of what ascended the game beyond just a simple mobile game to me. Like, this is a decently deep game mechanically to begin with like any good RPG should be but when I discovered chaining with my wee lil' Edgars back in the day, it was like I was playing a whole new game. Some weird timing/fighting/RPG hybrid game and I loving fell in love and spent pretty much every moment from there trying to master chaining with my lovely units in Colosseum and stuff. Learning frame data, reading up on chaining compatability, and the loving payoff with the damage and animations just makes this game for me.

What are you guys doing with all the extra moogles? I have completed 2 tms and I still have like a billion pulls left.

I would keep fusing them up for more TMR materias. They've added new materias that require multiples of the old materias to craft (e.g., all the FFXIV units' materias, Dragon Killer+) so there's strong precedent for stocking up on raid/FP materias.

For those of you with Emperor, congratulations, you have the best way to kill Aigaion.

For those of us without, put him up if you could?

Explanation: Fire From Below stacks to an absurd 2200%. you want to single target this trial, otherwise T.Terra and Ace would be pretty dang good here. (Ace still is for that fire imperil).

Now, the slow way that gets you the No Magic mission: Fire From Below, stack to cap, kill body first since you'll be doing far more than Right Arm can heal.

Fast Way: Abusing a bug. SO, the spell stacking code is obscenely broken, in that the spell stack multiplier is the actual data stored, nothing else. Once again, stack Fire From Below to max cap. Now, using that sweet Comet TMR you've picked up from fusing a million galoofs, dualcast Comet at Fire From Below's stacked multipler, watch rocks fall and body dies.

Oh man, I'm doing this. I'll put up an Emperor when the trial hits.

edit: Ugh, I have to farm Comet.

edit2: But why Comet? It looks like it has a lower multiplier than FFB?

Feb 29, 2008

Dana Crysalis posted:

because of the bug, the Fire From Below multipler of 2200% is APPLIED TO COMET. :o so dualcasting that makes things explode.

e: My current plan for Aigaion goes as thus:

Wilhelm: Make sure he has highest ATK and HP possible, try to survive the FIST OF JUSTICE.
Lightning: Twin Lance and Barrage (oh baby breaking out the OLD SCHOOL materia), just here to build LB crystals every round for thirty minutes of bopbopbopbop
Rikku: Reraise. Duh.
Tilith: Healing of course.
Ace: Fire Imperil from Tri-Beam Laser, Spirit Hand
Friend Emperor: Fire From Below

Oooh, the Dualcasting part was what I missed. Got it and appreciate the Pro Tip. Time to finish off Galoofy.

I'll put up Emperor for you and if you could be so kind to put up Wilhelm for me. :D

EX tickets got me 2 Amelias back to back. Now have 3. Not sure what to do, use all of them in Arena with Ricochet maybe? Otherwise the rest was trash like Lawrence, Sabin and Cyan...
Saved the 4* EX ticket because the 4* pool is gonna expand significantly once the Veritas hit and I might as well try an extra chance at one of those.

If you want to be a complete dickhead, you should max your Amelias out at 4* level 60 and keep them there. Stick them in your arena team and they'll have like a 33% chance of using AoE stop.

I went against a team with a single 4* Amelia and got loving wrecked.

I pulled a 2nd one from the EX tickets too and that's my plan for her.

Except for the stuff that's obviously geared towards new players like sub-40 ATK non-element weapons.
