All the USBs broke me down and I pulled. Got Aeris' USB and Eikos BSB which is cool since I have her LMR. I'd say it was worth it but at this point I e got like 7 healer BSBs so hopefully the next healer exclusive lucky is mostly USBs...

One pull got me Galuf's Ultra which seems awful besides another boostga, Guy's BSB, and Bartz's Chicken Knife, which was the real item I wanted. Makes me feel better about the awful pulls I ended up with on the fire banner.

Cloud USB/11 leaves me in the frustrating position of having enough 5* motes to dive him but not enough 4* VIT to actually get him there.

I looked at how many mote dungeon clears I'd have to do tomorrow to dive Tidus/Bartz/Raines and get Lightning 5 star spellblade and I got very sad.

I don't trust Leaping Rush.

Can you explain to me how it's supposed to be used?

OK pUSB
Quick hit 6ish times
OK pUSB
Leaping Rush until whatever you're fighting is dead.

Note that after leaping rushes buff you only need I think 5 actions taken to max it.

4/5/6/7 hits after 0/3/5/7 actions post-buff (currently 0/7/10/13)

So yeah, same damage as boosted Dervish at max and twice that of Quick Hit (though that goes off twice as fast), OK's doublecast celerity helps you get stacks up faster, and easier to hone than Dervish (depending on the crystals/orbs you have and what's competing for them). And if you're running OK's ninja blitz, hone stacks is gonna matter.

I went with quick hit/leaping rush because of crystal shortages, it seems okay but when compared to actual dps like cloud/bartz/Tidus its kind of lackluster and makes me think I should just load him up with utility.

Pulled twice, got Kuja's Terra's Legacy which has +dark on it, Zell's ssb (trash), Gabranth's ultra, and Quina's bsb which doubles as another water armor. Picked Lightnings LMR, not sure on the second. I've got Tidus' USB so his LMR isn't super appealing and Bartz's was already discussed. I'd grab Terra's if I had anything for her...I might grab Iris'. The only other white mage I have with double cast is Eiko and she gets hers off an LMR so it's the same as Iris', but I've got Iris' burst and it's really hard for me to drop a burst with astra and stoneskin.

But I'm going all in on the tactics banner so I'm sure I'll pull all of Alma's stuff. There's always crystal towers I suppose.

Goddamn that last Torment battle was rough. I tried a ton of configurations, even egging up Shantotto for her Chain and Desch for his BSB. Turns out the right option was to just go apeshit with Cloud and Lightning on Mateus and ignore the Ice Azers completely. Still took a couple of S/Ls.

I pulled Platinum Sword (lol I've got an 8* Platinum and now a 6*, and I never use either), Tidus' LMR, and Noctis' sword. Pretty good considering I went in with 5 dupes. That LMR gives Tidus everything but his OSB, and Noctis' sword is at the very least interesting for magicites. After the pull I decided to finish up the magicites and was able to complete the 4 I hadn't so I was able to unlock Dark/Holy but haven't made any actual attempts on them yet. Instead I spent all day running Fenrir and still don;t have an Enkidu.

No dupes but other than Ramza's better shout these are mostly garbo. I was really hoping to pull some stuff for Alma and replace Iris as my healer but that's not happening. I can't afford another pull with the fest around the corner I don't think.

How the hell do you all have so many 80s and 99s?

I've only been playing 2 months and have like ~20 80s and ~12 99s. Sora and Riku were easy b/c the game gave me MC3s, but it's by far been my most limiting factor.

Which is fine; I don't really have relics for anyone under level 50 so who cares?

But the people who have tons of 99s and say they haven't been playing long blow my mind. Where are the MC3s coming from?

I'm a day 1 player and I've got about the same number of 99s and 80s as you. I think the people with a ton are doing all the CMs and religiously do dailies. I basically just do events and magicite and really only level new people up if I get a great relic for them or need their RM.

Same reason we still lack an AoE healing ability, really. Hastega is just a lot more egregious because it became more or less mandatory for tough content circa Bahamut SIN, over two years ago.

I remember the days of using Kirin for regen...and when Lenna was first released I took her everywhere because her base SB is Mass Regen. Really before the Healer BSBs healing party wide damage was pretty difficult and I probably take it for granted now what with double cast Curada's/BSBs/running someone as off heals.

These have been universally awful:

FF5: Faris LMR
FF6: Cyan SSB
FF7: Rufus LMR
FF8: Zell SSB
FF9: Quina SSB
FF10: Braska BSB (Dupe)
FF11: Lion LMR
FF12: Vayne BSB
FF13: Lightning SSB (Dupe)
FF14: Yda USB
FFT: Mustadio BSB

I guess Faris' armor is +wind and Vayne's glove will be alright for Cid in 12 dungeons so yippee? I suppose I shouldn't complain because y'know, 5 mithril but holy gently caress am I pulling the most absolute garbage trash that in the end will be Rosetta Stone'd. Even the USB is straight trash tier since I have Refia's which is just a better version.

Looking at these LMRs...I guess it would be between Squall's and Noctis'. I've got squalls BSB so that would cut magicite time down, for Noctis I've got his USB, OSB, and SSB so hed be another nice source of NE damage, but I've also got a mostly complete Cloud that hed be competing for Omega Drive with.

Really sucks that OK, Yuffie, and TGC's LMRs all aren't included. (Not removed, nothing got removed, everything is fine, dena loves you)

They haven't removed anything. It's all relics released until a certain date and the cutoff is a bit before the OK USB event. It moves forward every time they do dream draws. Compared to the 3rd anniversary fest's dream draws we "got" for example Ramza and Tyro LMR because they added two months worth of relics to the list. Next time it will have OK & Orlandeau LMR but not Yuffie.

It's been like this every time. It will be like this every time. The new hotness will not be in a dream selection. You'll get it when it's old and cooled down.

I misspoke and had I known this wall of pedantry would have come down on me I would have replaced the words removed with doesnt include.

I mean they're all on the next fest dream selection which is what at the end of June? So whatever I'll wait a month.

I wish I had Squall's LMR. I've found SSS spam -> AOSB with Gathering Storm better for speed clears than using his BSB against Tiamat and his LMR would make that even better. He becomes completely self sufficient, which is really nice.

Yea if I had his AOSB I'd absolutely grab it. Not sure if just his BSB is worth it though.

He's actually freaking great since he's a proper hybrid like Reno or Vincent has become. He can run on physical or magic teams without any problem whatsoever since all his SBs scale to whatever stat is higher.

He's better with his USB but even with just his BSB and nothing else I don't regret diving him.

Excellent. I'll probably dive him because I'm bad at sitting on motes.

After killing the Mist Dragon I killed Shadow Dragon by entrust spamming TGC's OSB, then killed Marilith...not looking forward to the other 4 * magicites.

Also Marilith's final attack is bullshit, luckily Yuffie had a Mirror Image stack up. SHe was a superstar that fight, Clearest Tranquil pulled a ton of weight.
