got my CoD to 90. the elite exploration is no joke. first mob i encountered was a dragon that wiped me and i had a decent lightning, 6* cecil, 6* CoD with me.
I need to find a way to farm +ATK abilities. i have almost nothing worthwhile to put on CoD now that she has slots but at 90th level shes got some decent oomph even with my lame mythril mace. (why cant hammers = maces damnit).
I don't have the Brilliant Rays to awaken Refia, kill me.
All my metal cactuars went into instantly jumping CoD to ~80ish. Refia's bench warming for the time being regardless while I get my killer of humans up to full strength.
Chizuru is actually a pretty good physical unit. I forget if you managed to farm up the mats for a Chirijiraden during the FFT event, but that's like, her bread and butter right there, particularly if you can farm up her TMR, which can be given to anyone to turn that 80 ATK katana into a 120. She gets a 6* form and skill enhancements that pretty much makes her competitive even among the 5* base units like Luneth.
Don't underestimate these rando dragons on ELT I apparently pissed it off the first turn by using skills but not cheer/focus and nearly wiped because of it.

Blade Mastery is +50% Atk when equipped with a katana, not +50% to the katana's Atk.
So even on just a 5* Chizuru, Blade Mastery gives +60 Atk.
I spent 9 tickets and did an 11 pull, but I got what I wanted and then some.
Of the 9 tickets, 4 were gold crystal, and each one was exactly what you'd expect: Shadow, Penelo, Sabin, Galuf. The rest were 3*s but it did give me an Arc.
The 11-pull had 2 more gold crystals, the first being Krile, but the second was Refia. The rest were not terrible for TMRs surprisingly - a second Arc, Hayate and Shantotto, and my first Celes (hello Refia's new clothes) and Kefka. Not going to whine about no Zidanes, though I was hoping.
Osmose is actually being really useful through this Elite run.
Alright, cleared Elite so I'm done! As a warning make sure you defend on round 2 against the Boss since he drops a Meteor on your team that is going to be clearing 4K damage.
Also, went back into the BGN instance just to go collect the final reward chest and it was a Golden Staff.
Mystic Woods, except even with a whale chaperone, that can be a nasty place, especially with the boss, so it can be dangerous without bringing at least a semi-serious party.
Maranda Coast is probably the safest that can be easily farmed by soloing with a relatively strong friend unit.
So apparently Letters & Arms can stack even on global. That's the 50% MAG for sword users one.
Hrm, I wonder what sort of MAG a 6* Terra with Enhancer and two Letters & Arms could push out. Also, can Trance Terra use swords? If so that may get silly as well.

ADV done, Mjolnir Mighty Hammer obtained, that was easy.
Now to put off ELT until I farm the 11 more Brilliant Rays to get Refia up and awakened so I have a second source of Curaja, Stona, and a source of Raise. She's going to be doing more than Kain, anyway.
Also, woo, second +10% HP materia. Rizer: more valuable than most "Rare" summons.

I'm apparently the only person who immediately looked at the news about Letters and Arms stacking, and immediately thought of this being a Bartz buff.

Aaaaaand, nope. 3x Letters of Arms built Bartz's Cyclone Slash still deals less damage than a fully ATK-built Dual-Excalibur wielding Bartz's Gale Barrage.
So the great thing about the PRO Crystal Tower is that sometimes half your party will get Petrified, and sometimes a Green Dragon will randomly pop up to kick your shit in.
God I hate how the difficulty of this game just has massive spikes.

I resorted to just Escaping from most of the random encounters. Saves a lot of time and MP. I took down one Green Dragon, and while the Megacites the Dragons drop are nice, I'd rather save the time and effort for the bosses.

Never in doubt! There was a lot of doubt
Everyone was alive through Turn 4's Timestop, but then he starts going offscript and casting an AOE each turn, which meant that everyone died who wasn't named Cecil & Lightning. So it was the Cecil & Lightning show for 4-5 more turns, with Cecil either casting Curaja or tossing an Elixir at Lightning while he intercepted every melee attack aimed at her, and Lightning just kept using Crushing Blow each round.
The rest of team put in some show though! Turn 1's Full Break hit DEF, MAG, & SPR down, which helped mitigate Meteor. Kain & Exdeath Limit Break'd for some damage, Bartz Entrust'd over his bar to Cecil so Cecil could cast his LB a second time (first time was naturally on turn 1). Agrias did get Barstonra & Barfira off, so it mitigated some of the AOE around the middle turns of the fight, but wasn't really enough to prevent the Cecil & Lightning Show.

Still no Refia which is who I really wanted.
Because apparently my whale friend HugeCock has a Delita over 690 now.
And I've spotted a Luneth on my list too, although since it was at level 1, I'm edging towards lucky rather than whale.
Do see a whale CoD though, dual wielding Rising Suns.
I have a lightning friend with 700 atk
