    Oldman 7* up. Level 111 @ 1.2k ATK and 2x machine killer. He is still missing his TMR since it is at a weird number and he will finish it in the farm tonight anyways. With only a basic 45% DEF break, his DR is doing 60% of the bosses HP. That is a pretty huge improvement over the 20-25% he was doing before.

    I got my Lightning up to 70% after the 7* fusion Moogle and the raid moogles. God I wish I had saved up some more.

  • CruorCruor Registered User regular
    I was able to push my Orlandeau to 1489 ATK after finishing potting him up @ lvl111. After the event tomorrow he'll be switching from Lightning to Ice to chain with my Fryevia, and man am I looking forward to that foolishness.

    ok, so I've gotten Wilhelm up to 110

    but I'm almost out of Gil and cactuars. this might be a weekend where I macro Cactuars and gil snappers.

    I don't know if spending some lapis would be worth it but I have TONS of NRG restore pots I can bank in.

    I'm debating leveling up my Orlandeau's LB from 25 to 30 (I have his TMR, so it's enhanced), but that will take a lot of my stored pots. Is there a breakdown anywhere of the difference between his enhanced LB at level 25 versus 30? I found one that shows the difference between level 1 and 30, but nothing about the in-between levels.

    Apparently Olive's suicide attack is coded as a physical attack on herself, so if you put a stack of mirage on her she'll Dodge the damage and survive.

    Hilarious.

    Looks like Barrier skills work as well. You'll be left with 2K HP after the attack.

    Doh! I forgot about pots! I will fix him here in a bit. I thought 1.2k looked a bit low.

    There's a person on my friend list with a 7* olive with 2 of her STMR. She's at 2304ATK and an obscene amount of machine killer.

    Fixed. Max ATK pot and sitting on Ifrit puts him at 1354 ATK with 2x Machine Killers and missing his own TMR. He now hits for 75% of the bosses health with DR. Much better!

    Effin'A guys. I just beat the Ice Bird on my own!! Didn't have the right gear to do the VoH way, so I had to play rng. I was able to get a few attempts in with 1/2 NRG, but I still wasted at least 200-300 nrg before even having a single run that looked promising. Downed it Basch, CG Fina, Seph, Raegan and CG Nichol. Only missed ifrit summon, so i will prolly go back next 1/2 NRG event. Gawddamn does that feel nice, now that its over.

    After Orlandeau and DFina, I'm out of ATK and MAG pots. I have until Fryevia's 7* comes out to rebuild those. Damn expensive Hybrid units hogging up all the offensive pots.

    On the plus side, freeing up a lot of unit inventory space. :D

    Between using pots, prism-ing dupes, trust moogles and cactuars, I've got SO MUCH SPACE FOR ACTIVITIES. I'd still love it if we got the 1500-unit enhancer box like JP got recently, but I'm feeling pretty good at the moment in terms of unit space.

    Im trying to figure out how a lvl 120 Cid on my Friendslist is so much stronger than mine. Are the stat bonuses that big from 110-120? Hes at 10kHP and 1700ATK and the only equip difference is Proud Fencer and Prishes Hairpin.

    My Cid is at 7k and 1400 respectively

    With 30% Equipment ATK while dualwielding (from his Trust Ability), the difference between Prishe's Hairpin and, say, Black Cowl is pretty big. Also, I have to assume the base stat increases of units is loaded more towards the later levels. Also, maybe your friend grabbed the ST Reflection Boosts on his esper instead of grabbing killers to inflate that epeen. Who knows.

    I'll be able to get mine around 1500. Without STMR's like his own sword, Luneth's clothes, etc, I hit the cap really quick. I could take out a materia for anything else and still pretty much be at the cap.

    EDIT: with pots I could get him to around 1600.

    I'll boost her to 7* at some point as it feels like she could be good for Tidus with her turn 1 110% water imperil.

    I was going to do a reverse quote of Goonies, "This is their time here. Their time, here. It will be our time in a month. Ours."

    I am loving all of the Olives and TGCids and such I'm seeing. I might experiment with Lightning more (currently 7* but lvl 110) and see what she and Tidus can achieve together while he's still 6*. But I am trying to bide my resources for the next set.

    No, I don't have 2 Trance Terras. In fact, I don't have 1 Trance Terra.

    I meant, I don't have any of the 7*s that were just released.

  • DK_AzraelDK_Azrael Registered User regular
    Yeah, this batch was pretty disappointing for me, out of all of them I only have Marie and Gilgamesh, so none of the useful ones. I awakened Gil just so I could get the 50% moogle for fusing my 3rd copy, but that's all I've done. Hopefully next batch looks better.

    Hmm. I see. Well, I mean, my TTerra is actually already at cap, though with a fair amount of finagling and rather limited equipment selection (I don't actually have time or energy to play a lot, so I'm missing, like, pretty much all the special key stuff and quests and the like. I still haven't doubled back to grab some of the Espers, I should probably do that). Currently she's wearing this:
    Right hand: Lumière ATK+62, MAG+67
    Left hand: Draco Spike ATK+30, MAG+101 (Item world: +20% HP, +10% MAG)
    Head: Cat-ear Hood MAG+25, SPR+25
    Body: Siren's Robe DEF+30, MAG+40, SPR+40
    Accessory 1: Earrings DEF+3, MAG+20%
    Accessory 2: Magical Scrunchie DEF+5, MAG+20%, SPR+5
    Materia 1: Letters and Arms MAG+50%
    Materia 2: Dark Bond MAG+50%
    Materia 3: Dual Wield
    Materia 4: Rod Mastery MAG+50%

    But of course this leaves little for everyone else in terms of magic so you may have a point that grabbing some magic TMRs might be a good idea, probably starting with Discount Cybuster. Though given I use Yan, who can go "65% resist to everything, also reraise", the Rainbow Robe to hit 95% resist to everything on a tank does sound tempting, not gonna lie.

    Also, I see the first batch of 7* is here. I could turn Dark Fina into a 7*, but I'm not entirely sure of how worth it that would be. It seems to be pretty expensive in terms of money and cactuars.

    You have Barb, so a 7* D. Fina could help with another tornado user. But since she doesn't get Aeroja as well, it's kind of a waste.

    Yeah there isn't much you can do to boost her that would be super meaningful. If you have a Drace, getting death trap seems to be a better move than Christine's TMR. Maybe focus on a tank shield, rainbow robe, VotD, and Loren's TMR's.

    Honestly I have trouble chaining Tornado, and for what little of it I've done I've used Shantotto. I have a couple of her, and Shantotto is cool. But yeah, the mage stuff would go to ther other guys so that Terra isn't my sole magical attack option. But then, none of my physical attackers are anywhere near close to cap. They probably do need more help. So guess I'll go with the melee and tank stuff.

    So, I just went and got Dumbass Pride Dark and Awesome Swordsman, which represent a +70% atk for Cid, who just broke the 1K attack barrier with them on. Sitting at a pretty 1030 atk right now. Quite nice.

    Technically Lightning is better. It’s just that she’s harder to chain. If the iOS tray still worked, i may have enhanced her first.

    Lightning can't chain with Fryevia, so Orlandeau was the clear right choice for me.
