Does element boosting equipment stack?

Fear is the glue that holds society together. It's what makes people suppress their worst impulses. Fear is power.

And at the end of fear, oblivion.

yes.

Yes, additively, so two pieces means 1.4x damage. They also stack additively with enelements, so two pieces and an enelement is 1.9x damage for abilities or 2.2x damage for SBs.

Didn't realize OK's dive gets him dualcast black and celerity, that's pretty awesome. Even if I whiff on either USB, seems like a no-brainer dive with his burst. I assume we get access to that next week?

BSB lucky: Orlandeau cloak and Yshtola circlet, both dupes
6* lucky: Zack chain, Marche USB, Marach USB
Fest 1: Refia BSB/11
Fest 2: Galuf LMR/11
Fest 3: skipped
Fest 4: Kain CSB, Rinoa CSB, Lightning BSB2, Abels Lancex2
Fest 5: Seymour CSB, Marche armor dupe

all in all my fest pulls involved three 1/11, a 2/11 and a 4/11 with two dupes on it, but those fest pulls got me Kains chain, Rinoas chain and Seymours chain, which along with Zack chain from the 6* lucky means all i am missing are fire, earth, and holy chains at this point. i could try and grind a bunch of dungeons to draw on the holy/dark banner again to hope for some dark stuff but i have a decent amount of dupes and i guess the mithril should go to FF3.

Adding to this, 3/4 LMRs are actually pretty good even if you don't have relics for the characters.

I was planning on 1 pull on VI, but I may hold off until OK banner and see how it turns out. If I somehow luck out quick, I go back for Terra relics.

- checked all the permissions
- tried with a different google accout, just in case
- clearing cache, reinstalling, moving to sd does not help
- tried from play store and separate apk
- latest updates on the phone
- tried an old apk 5.3 on both phone and emulators

It used to work on the phone last summer, when i played it for a bit. Reddit threada seems to be fixed with either allowing permissions or stopping the webviewer.

Well then since you all convinced me to save for onion dude, that makes my final haul from the fest: Tidus chain & burst, Edge burst, Khimari ultra, Fujin burst, Zack burst and Alpiwhatever burst. And before that from the luckies I got Relm super and ultra, Aeris Burst - Gaffgarion burst - Lion Ultra, Porom burst & Cecil overstrike.

Bummer about no Cloud ubs... :( Tidus is kind of saving it though, he's been tearing stuff up and Edge tends to finish of whatever Tidus doesn't for now.

-If- you're willing to go down that road, I think Refia's LMR will be available for selection on the gem-only pulls that were mined on the last update. If not, you'll have to roll the dice on that banner, since her LMR has no guaranteed foreseeable return as of now.

After spending 350 mithril on the first 4 banners and getting zero 6 stars I decided to do a dollar pull on banner 5 and got the WoL chain. Very nice! What I really wanted from the banner was the Seymour stuff and the Ramza BSB but now that everything else on the banner is either dupes or junk it would be pretty stupid to pull. I'll probably have 100 mithril each for OK and TGCid (which has the Ramza bsb I think).

My final pulls were

Fire
Yda BSB (dupe)
Yda BSB (dupe, dupe)
Yda BSB (dupe, dupe, dupe)
Vivi BSB, Braska BSB, Papas Fritas BSB, Locke LMR

Earth
Skip

Wind/Water
Yuffie BSB

Lightning/Ice
Shelke BSB
Lenna BSB

So now that the Fest is over I'm feeling like I shored up my Ice weakness nicely. Rinoa Chain/BSB and Squall got his LM to go with his BSB2 from last fest. Should be great once I dive Squall. Now my weakest element is Lightning, for which I have Lightning USB/BSB and not much else.

Nothing really jumps out to me as a solution now that the Kain Chain is gone. FFIX banner two for Garnet stuff might be something I guess? Otherwise I guess I can wait for the 3rd Anniversary Fest in three months. But banner 2 is riddled with Squall dupes, more stuff for Lightning and another shot at Kain Chain.

What is everyone else running for lightning teams? There doesn't seem to be a ton of obvious standouts aside from "Lightning and her stuff is good".

For a while, I've been running Ashe with BSB and LD, Rapha with BSB+USB+LD and Desch BSB for my magical offense, while USB+LD Lightning runs my physical side. I recently landed Garnet's USB+LMR and Desch's USB, which might warrant some rethinking at least on Rapha's side. Ashe USB is top tier, of course, but if you don't have that... she's very functional with just BSB+LD, since her BSB isn't enspell-taxed and neither are her commands - the self-heal on CMD1 gives it at least a -point- over Chain Thundaga even if the multiplier is a bit lower.

Yeah Ashe definitely seems like the way I’d like to go if the relics fall that way. I’d rather hold on to my mythril till OK banner than pull on the current XII, but the next XII banner with Ashe and Larsa stuff looks perfect. I’ll definitely throw that banner a pull or two.

Ashe's BSB is showing its age a little bit but with her dive it's still a monster. It's not too hard to cap her CM1 even against Bismarck's crazy res stat, and doublecasting it is just brutal.

Poochy ain't Stupid.
I might be.
My fest was all disappointing. 200 Mythril sunk into Banner 4 and did get some nice stuff, but no Cloud USB or Zack Chain which I was hoping for. Lots of dupes too. I do have BSBs for Yuffie and Edge now, and can't decide which dualcast Ninja I want to go after first (Yuffie with BSB2 and LMR for general use, or Edge with BSB and SSB for better water DPS)

BGrifter posted:

I believe the banner header was datamined and translated, but no other details including date and contents. So there's a decent chance we'll be seeing it, but no guarantee yet.

edit: Found it.

So with the new bard abilities, what's the mystic bard thing?

I tried google and it pulled up a mechanic where the buff renews and gets stronger when you use it more times, is that it? Is there a good/best use for it?

I figure with Edward now fairly stable in my party I should figure that out.

Each stack is +10% ATK or MAG up to +50%. I think they each have a unique buff ID so they'll stack with anything, but don't quote me on that.

Well that's pretty sweet. Seems like a somewhat heavy investment on orbs but if I plan on really only using him for mage teams then I can get the mag boosting one only.

I'm running Edward myself against Fenrir for Major Wind farming runs and a Rank 2 Mage's Hymn+Rank 1 Allegro con Motto combo has been serving me pretty well. My cycle: opening with USB => Allegro => stack two Mage Hymns => Allegro again => two more stacks, possibly refreshing the USB in-between for quickcasting stacks if the gauge allows or maybe casting a Magicite in case of a dead turn. I don't think I've ever run out of Mage Hymns during my runs. For something more durable, like 4* Magicite, Rank 3 sounds more desirable, but for current content, Rank 2 is reasonably safe. Mage's Hymn definitely feels like the priority to hone between the two, since mages benefit a lot more from stacking than physical fighters.

Wind/Water Banner: Cloud USB, Kimahri USB. Extremely happy I got Cloud USB but I ran out of mythril and spent gems on this which I really hate doing. Cloud USB/BSB2 combo did open up a lot of options to me though. Kimahri USB isn't actually bad at all, it's just on Kimahri.
