Sadly yes, that's why I was kinda happy I pulled Zack's hastega SSB a while back, it means I can drop OK for another DPS character on Jump Starts and rip them up even faster.

Zack's ability pool kinda sucks but at least he can powerchain, or use the 3* wind spellblade to +1 the wind chain. He tends to be dead weight for me after he gets his hastega and chain off, though.
might be worth it to craft Wind Slash for him instead; it's cheap and will build chain faster. Bit weaker but it'll probably cap anyway? Or you can forget the chain and just Powerchain/Full Charge

Also Celerity will be getting a new 5* wind ability at some point which is basically perfect for him

Aerith's BSB2 might be better for specific content, but Iris BSB is fantastic anywhere. Stick with Iris unless you're against a dark heavy boss, basically

Edit: also Iris BSB is status blink, not magic blink iirc

40% heal and instant cast is the 0 ingredient recipe???

Also what is the math on this Vivi LMR? I'm guessing it's better than his first legend dive if I'm not casting a fire spell, but how does it compare if I am?
I don't know the numbers but I've heard his LMR is good enough to Legend Dive him by itself? I imagine you want to combine it with fastcasts/instantcasts somehow though

EDIT: it probably combos excellently with the 6* bard ability

You definitely can't ignore SSBs. They're outdated, but a lot of them are still really good, especially ones with party buffs, breaks, or enelements. Red's USB is great, and I'd actually suggest giving Gordon the boot. His USB is... not so great.
Gordon's USB? It's not metawarping but its pretty solid debuffing plus haste and regen. And AoE damage, I guess.

Before the ability buff, Kuja BSB command 1 was like a 4 hit Dark Zone. Now it's just a worse Dark Zone.

How much effect does the speed stat have on # of turns? If it's a lot then saving all your Crystal Waters for speed is probably going to be The Move.

I'd rather spend 50 for a shot at the hot new thing than chance snagging a medica SSB and being out 25 mythril for almost nothing. I still don't have any chains yet

Even if you're good on lightning I'd go for a pull on banner 4, as long as the dupes are manageable.

Last pull!



How'd I do? I now gotta figure out how to focus on....
you have a pretty sick holy team so far. Ramza and Celes BSBs are fantastic, and if you're going that deep into holy Agrias BSB is respectable as well. I'd stick with Y'shtola as your healer for now, but Eiko USB is good to have once you have more hones available.

Of course, if you're new, most content can be chumped with OSBs. You can level up Locke for his or you can just RW OSBs and put your favorite character in the 5th slot. Either way, his holy boosting dagger is good to have.

my melee team just got real fast and Shadow joins my list of Ninjas I Should Probably Just LD, alongside Edge with SSB and Yuffie with LMR/USB

I like this

6* LD: Yuna USB, Fran USB, Aranea OSB
Banner 1: Krile CSB, Refia USB, Krile BSB, Braska bSB
Banner 2: Tifa OSB/LMR, Ursula BSB
Banner 3: dupe Alphinaud BSB, Yuffie LMR, Zack LMR
Banner 5: Marche USB, 2x Shadow BSB

Only 1 chain, but Marche USB is a pretty good consolation prize

I'm set enough for water that I don't think I'm pulling for anything but a chain there. IIRC Yuffie's USB also gives team pblink.
Yuffie's USB does a bunch but pblink is not one of them. Her Gauntlet SSB is her pblink

Question: on the screen when you try to enter a dungeon but you have too much stuff in your inventory and it's asking you if you want to spend mythril on slots, what's the option on the bottom? There's equipment, abilities, magicite and then one unlabeled one below them that just has "1/5" and the "Get More Slots" button
