[FFBE] New story event with Duke and Mystea! Get your crysts, and fan festa rewards
Unit rate ups. Banner 2 is the current rate up units (Mystea, Duke, etc), banner 3 is rate up for the last banner (FFXV), and the last banner I thought was no rate ups, just a normal pull, but it looks like it's the same as Banner 2.
On the Rare Summons tab are four options. Half price, FFBE banner, 15 banner, and Rare banner. What the he'll is the difference with any of the last three?
FFBE banner has rate ups for the units on the banner. Same with 15. The last one doesn't have any rate ups so you chances of getting any of the characters in the pool are the same.
Dang it Trajan!

There is a higher chance of pulling the specific units of the FFBE and 15 banner. The rare banner has no increased unit chance.
So, we'll use the FFBE banner as an example. A single pull has a 78% chance of being a 3*, 19% chance of being a 4*, or 3% chance of being a 5*.
Within those chances:
3* -> 25% the unit is Charie or Ryunan, 75% any other 3*
4* -> 25% the unit is Mystea or Otif, 75% any other 4*
5 -> 33%(1/3) the unit is Duke, 66%(2/3) any other 5*
So pulling on a specific banner will increase your odds of grabbing those specific units.

So I realized I had gotten a bunch of new Rare tickets, and I figured I'd spend those while saving an 11 lapis pull for Cloud or w/e, and I just pulled Veritas of Dark... I'm starting to really like these rainbow colored things.
"I will write your name in the ruin of them. I will paint you across history in the color of their blood."
Used my two 10+1 tickets and didn't get much worth mentioning. Did get a Meliadoul, so that's a good robe for Shard of Genius WoL or if I get Mystea at some point.
I didn't expect much considering the Gilgamesh and Loren pulls I got last week. And speaking of Gilgamesh, got the last moogle I needed for the Genji Glove!

The FFBE has a rate-up for the units displayed on the banner, all of which are original FFBE characters. Same with all the other banners except the Rare banner, which does no benefit from a rate-up at all.
Generally, you'll want to use your tickets and lapis on a banner that has units you want. And if no such banners are available, save up your tickets until a good banner shows up. I can think of no circumstance where it's a good idea to use tickets on the Rare banner.

...so I asked my lucky friend to roll my 10+1 ticket for me and hee landed me a Barbariccia. Would have preferred Terra, not going to lie. Not a bit fan of FFIV. But at least that's a competent magic user.
I'd imagine BiS would be hard as it may depend on the situation. For example, if I don't need Rikku's auto-revive, I may stack some LB stuff on her to get that 42% DM and 94% SPR LB up more often. Otherwise I plan on stacking SPR mostly with some HP since my provoke tanks shouldn't need to balance as much.

oh, my ex 4+ ticket got me a dark knight cecil. Now I can go for manbringer.

Problem with Mystea is her configuration changes all the time. Usually you gear for HP/SPR to resist magic. But just like an evasion tank is sometimes useful, so can gearing Mystea for 100% immune to elements.
For instance, if you have a fight where the boss just does huge amounts of magic fire damage, it makes more sense to get Mystea immunity to fire then just take less damage by having high SPR.

Oh, *man*. Finally finished Bloody Moon ELT with all achievements. I am not ashamed to say this was the first time in a while I had to use a spreadsheet for rotation tracking. Even though it took 26 turns, it was satisfying to see it go off (mostly) without a hitch.
Except for a Wilhelm snort at 40%. That was kind of a hitch.
Team was Soleil (shoot/cannon enhanced), Tilith, Rikku, 2xTT, Wilhelm friend MVP.
Someone needs to call Ayaka "serviceable" so we can round this out
Well, yes, that's the thing. She's powerful, but I didn't particularly want her. So now I have a competent mage to pull out if I really need her (though I'm probably going to have to farm the living shit out of the Dunes this weekend, and also I still have fuck all for mage equipment), but otherwise it's hard to get terribly excited.

Also I decided to take a chance for a second Noctis - ten tickets and a 10+1 pull later I have Queen, and a dupe of both DKC and Gladiolus. I guess I can't complain.

Equiping? I just send all the 5*'s in naked and they do just fine. I'm sure that will continue to hold true forever, right?

Barbariccia is "competent"

Rikku is adequate

I need to research how to beat Sheratan because that staff will be very useful to Mystea/possible future healers.
