Kefka SSB (I actually pulled for this a million years ago, I'm tickled to have it now)
Larsa SSB (this'll pair nicely with Penelo's Burst for CMs)
Kain SSB (having just gotten his OSB, I appreciate this)
Balthier BSB (2? It Imperil Fire-s and has a C1 that can add minor Imperil Fire. My first Imperil Fire, hot damn.)
Papalymo BSB (... Jesus Christ. Gonna melt all the things)
Firion OSB (first Firion relic. Won't turn down more damage for FF2.)
No dupes! Reasonably useful SSBs! Amazing Bursts! I am thrilled.
No Water or Ice stuff though :rotate:
Nice.
That Kefka SSB is actually still reasonably useful, when combined with Allegro Con Moto. Probably not worth sacrificing a MAG buff for it, but if you can fit it in, it could do good for ya.

Well, I'm sure glad I did Magicite dungeons all day and am nowhere near capped on stamina, otherwise I'd be apoplectic right now.
Also, even if the Lightning Chain strat I posted upthread wasn't working for Bismarck sub-30s, I still think it would get me a faster kill than my previous strategy, if I refreshed OK BSB and Wall at the 30s mark rather than go for the kill. Maybe the rest of the fest will enhance my options.
My game is just exploding, constantly losing connection and dumping me to menu, so I'm just gonna say rip to the stamina and do something else for a bit lol.
I really want to master these soul breaks though, this is by far the most unlearned soulbreaks I've ever had. 14 unlearned breaks right now!! Gah.
3 Dupes (Seph OSB, OK staff, vanille SSB) but still good
Galuf burst is actually pretty nice, and Edea's burst is the tip top mage ice option. Luneth's OSB is fine, Matoya's burst is maybe slightly above average, nothing else stands out. Not bad for free!
My client went to the first zoom-in and promptly froze. I have no idea if the pull even went through.
Edit: It did!
Pull was 8/30. Digging through my inventory shows:
Desch BSB (dupe)
Krile OSB
Strago SSB
Irvine SSB (now I have a complete Irvine, for what it's worth)
Zidane OSB
Steiner OSB
Seifer SSB
Yuna BSB2 (dupe, first was from the healer LD)
...Damn, that's not bad at all. Two dupes (one of which is a +holy light armor), and three discos, two of which are on characters I have bursts for (Steiner can en-fire into his OSB, Zidane can imperil and then OSB in a wind team).
Cid XIV SSB imperil fire. Meh, already have two imperil fire bursts
Vincent SSB. Small MAG boost, damage. Bleh.
Sazh BSB. 30/30, commands do dual breaks, second XIII burst ever. Sure
Basch BSB. enHoly, +holy spear. Awesome!
Khimari BSB. Imperil water - second one of those, third water burst. Nice!
Tidus OSB. Water, +water sword
So 6/30, 0 dupes, only one 6*, but 3 bursts out of that. Zero complaints. Basch is the big winner here for me, along with a ton more water items (all X lol). I should be able to sleepwalk liquid flame now. SSBs will never see use, but whatever. None of my wants, but I'll take it!
Bartz SSB (+DEF)
WoL SSB (Blink)
Paine SSB (Haste)
Cid VII SSB (Not-Shout)
Dupe First Fusion Sword
Dupe #3 Basch BSB
Fang BSB1 (Imperil)
Kain OSB
----
Okay, that's...not all that great. I like Kain but that's now my fourth-best lightning OSB. That's also my third wind imperil, although I do like Fang and it gives her a way to enable her BSB2 by herself, which is kind of cool. The rest is pretty junky.
Reasonable, all are new, the Kuja and Tidus SSBs are basically junk, Reynn's SSB is maybe useful but probably not, Thancred gives me a third poison BSB to go with Leila and Edgar, Locke provides my second native 6* dagger to go with Delita's USB.
Main - 5/30 - Cid (XIV) SSB, Yuna BSB2, Master BSB, Nine BSB and Vaan OSB.
Cid (XIV)'s SSB is a direct clone of Balthier's Strahl Strafe that I have had since it debuted, Yuna's BSB2 is reasonably interesting, Master BSB is potentially a great non-elemental damage option but is risky, Nine BSB is actually my first wind element BSB and doesn't look terrible, and Vaan's OSB is another 6* dagger to go with this account's Delita USB and is probably not worth augmenting since I already augmented Delita's. A pretty solid draw for free, no regrets.
Also it's kind of weird how often I get the same relic on both accounts, even on draws with large pools of relics. Delita's USB and Larsa's BSB being two recent examples.
Sigh. So Larsa's hilarious potion spam SSB, two awful BSBs that are nice +element stat sticks, and a serviceable OSB that is an excellent stat stick. Nothing to really shake things up for me Magicite wise.
I am super disappointed, can I try again? I'll give you back this stuff, DeNa.
Data for posterity:
15 misses in a row
15/138 lifetime
5/43 this batch
Note to self: No whining, Rikku USB, never forget. Also Cloud BSB2.
30 pull:
4/11, 1 disco
Gladio OSB (solid!)
Vincent BSB (another source of radiant shield!)
Thancred BSB (I have no idea what this does!)
Porom SSB (dupe)
Not a big pull but getting three fairly useful SBs is better than I expected.
I'm pulling on banners 1 and 5, so banner 1 pull a-go-go:
2/11
Leila BSB
Ingus BSB
Both were on my "want" list, so I'm happy. I went from having zero poison SBs to 2 today, which is swell.

New SBs are always neat, but honestly at this point unconditional +element 6* stat sticks are the most useful thing for me.
Picking up a third dupe on the only banner I was really eyeing (PS2 games), and one of the main prizes is putting me off it. Tidus or Rikku's USBs are the only things that would be a significant gain now, and the Ashe/Balthier/Reks consolation prizes aren't much of a draw since I'm already really strong in FF12 and already have better options in lightning magic/fire phys/shout-likes, although they could all use buddies.
Blegh. Kind of tempted to throw 50 mythril at Banner 1 in hopes of Maria or Onion's BSBs since they're close to the top of the list for the gem select stuff with any WoL thing or Desch's BSB as a consolation prize since poor Shan still has no mage lightning friend to use her chain with. Or maybe just hoard. I'm at like 250 mythril now though, and only really eyeing two event banners (FFTA/Onion) between now and the anniversary besides probably a single pull on XV for RS/CMs (and absolutely no more than one), and I guess Christmasfest MAYBE, whatever it ends up being.

Gladiolus's OSB is hilarious. It's earth-non, but the sword gives +fire... except in XV where it's +earth AND +fire.
Duplicate on Edge and Beatrix (4th copy of the sword). Wakka is lol but not like I was ever bringing anybody else to support in X missions. Kuja's thing isn't at the top of what I would want for OSBs to use but it's one of the best items on the draw maybe. Dark boost rod without synergy.
I have Kuja's endark and imperil so it will see use some day.

They're always solid pick ups, but they can only get a team that's close over the finish line. You still need to qualify by owning the right SBs in the first place. Game-changing SBs are still the most useful for me.
Also, mini-cactuars appear to drop one orb type per stage, as in the past. Need to verify, but stage 1 is Fire, 2 is Dark, and 3 is White.

Now to get lucky 16 more times!
I really want to master these soul breaks though, this is by far the most unlearned soulbreaks I've ever had. 14 unlearned breaks right now!! Gah.
I pulled right at 9 before the great melt began.

You mean an apology Bard Mote, right?
Lol...picked a stupid enemy to use as the demonstration.
1st pull, 3/11: Garland BSB, Emperor BSB, Desch BSB (dupe)
Ok. I mean, more dark, sure, but hey, realm synergy~
2nd pull, 2/11: Desch BSB (dupe 2), Desch BSB (dupe 3)
*thousand yard stare*
3rd pull, 3/11: Matoya BSB, Emperor BSB (dupe), Ingus BSB
REALLY should have stopped here. But if you know me...
4th pull, 3/11: Emperor BSB (dupe 2), Emperor BSB (dupe 3), Warrior of Light BSB
But there was a happy ending
5th (final) pull, 2/11: ONION BSB AT LAST, Warrior of Light USB!
Fest budget is blown, none of the other banners are worth pulling for me anyway, time to build back up.
Switch - SW-7373-3669-3011
Fuck Joe Manchin
I think out of pity.
Kuja OSB
Beatrix OSB
Ex death ssb.

1 OSB = OK
3 BSBs = Yuffie, Tyro, Mustadio

Those BSBs will definitely be useful.
