    I could see Oathkeeper+Oblivion being a relic for Roxas’s Arcane or some variety of Ultra (Magic Hour, probably?)

    Interesting question that would make pulling on KH easier:

    Do you think we will get Anima Lenses for our pulls on KH? Japan will get them. Anima Lenses are when you pull a dupe you get a thing that you can trade for older relics.

    I would guess we will probably not get that system.

    But I'd give it maybe 20% that the global devs somehow screw up and still have calls to that system, and so the game crashes when you try to do a relic draw.

    If there's anything with Anima lenses, I would guess it's like last time and they do a system update and global just gets the system early.

    The other thing to keep in mind is that KH probably will have the nerfed banner drop rates that JP has now.

    An example of how crazy Syldra is making me; I decided it would be a good idea to break out my Manticore team again and grind out 4 more copies just to get a slight edge in DPS over what I'm pulling now.

    This seems like a ploy to extract money from players right before Kingdom Hearts drops a couple of Arcane Awakenings on us to obliterate all difficulty for the next year.

    I think Japan had a midsummer dream draw, so this should line up with it.

    Sucks for us though, the timing with the KH stuff around the corner.

    Even if I had Syldra, not sure if this would work against Adamantoise:
    Zack CSB/BSB LD
    OK mUSB LD
    Palom USB LD
    Fujin SSB/OSB/AOSB
    Healer of some kind

    Covers all the bases, but Palom's initial cast will do zero damage/chain count, and Zack will be lackluster. Chain is pretty much required to break Savage mode though, since the boss takes half damage under it, plus buffs Shell and +500% RES periodically.

    E: maybe Alphinaud BSB instead of Palom?

    Some nice QOL changes.

    Relic auto-sell for relics below 5*. Although now we are supposed to save them for rainbow whatevers so this is actually no longer useful.
    Relic Draw Animation SKip
    Change number of selectable items from 10 to 20.
    Soul breaks will show entire description of the soul Break. FINALLY.

    3 Stamina potions for the +++ costing too much stamina.

    There is a wind pickup banner but its full price and doesn't have a chain.

    Attack and Magic softcap up.

    Fat chocobo now has crystals.

    Introduction data for Awakening Soul Breaks have been mined and dated for the 21st, so it is exceedingly likely Kingdom Hearts with have new Awakening SBs.

    Also, a bunch of characters got their legend Materia changed to fit a different element, or all elements, like Jecht and Terra.

    You probably weren't buying major orbs from the fat chocobo anyway, but the limited time orbs are now more expensive than regular price orbs :/

    Wind pick-up 100 gems: 4* blah

    Data for posterity:
    7 misses in a row

    39/363 lifetime

    1/13 current batch

    5/95 3rd batch (5/95 is "just kill yourself" levels of bad RNG. Fuck me forever)

    14/95 2nd batch (about on EV for this batch.)

    9/65 1st batch (0.1 items below EV, which is pretty much exactly expected return, though quite a few duds even on my hits)

    Note to self: No whining, Rikku USB, never forget. Also Cloud BSB2, Mustadio USB, Water Chain (dupe), Seymour Chain, Basch USB, Nine USB, Sephiroth USB, Pecil USB1, Sice USB (twice!).

    you know what, I welcome that Major Arcana change. Seriously there is only so much Magicite Leveling my heart can take.

    edit: so it's the Golden Festival USB draw huh? Man a few weeks ago I would've bought Orlandeu's USB...now I wonder. I actually so try to pick up something for the realms I haven't cleared 280s yet like 3 and 14. Or maybe pUSB or mUSB

    This is actually just the "Midsummer Dream Selection", ported forward two seasons for Global. There will be more and more varied Dream Selects with the Fest next month.

    Apparently the jump airtime "fix" was stealthily implemented.

    Before: airtime counted down while other animations played, so you would often have dragoons landing immediately after the next action
    Now: it doesn't do that, so dragoons will have very slow DPS unless you use Cyclone Bolt or other tech to remove airtime

    Wind banner states G5 for 3-pull, but it's not providing:

    https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/antg0r/windrelicbanner_states_g5_for_cultof3_but_its_not/

    Basically, PSA for anyone who wants to roll the dice, because I would imagine DeNA has to compensate anyone who doesn't hit because that's pretty damn explicit.

    Sidenote: I gave this a shot because I'd love to have that OK AOSB and got a 6*....dupe Luneth off-banner OSB. Where I've already got an 8* copy.

    Ahahahaha *sigh* I can't even be mad because I knew it was just rolling the dice for shits and giggles, but come on.

    I got Cloud Glint. I'm not sure if this helps me over his BSB2 actually because that is the only combat wind attack. Hmmm.

    Why can't anything be a wind sword? Bah guess he can keep using Dorgann's Blade.

    Do the new buff numbers make it better to use a high attack power weapon vs small boost under a chain?

    My gut is higher ATK, but that's just from eyeballing the numbers.

    Hecatoncheir down in 19.28 seconds with Cloud Keeper and the usual suspects.
    Zack Lifesiphon/Ripping Blast (CSB, BSB) Ace Striker (LM1, 2)
    Onion Knight Wrath/Entrust (BSB) DMT (LMR)
    Shelke Wrath/Entrust (No SB) Battleforged (LM1, 2)
    Aerith Curada/Protectga (USB2) MM (LM1, 2)
    Cloud Lifesiphon/Wind Quadstrike (Glint, USB1, USB2, AOSB) +DMG (LM1, LMR w-cast Wind)
    Typhon (+Wind x2)
    Sylph (-Earth)/Silver Dragon (+DEF)/Phoenix (Blade/Spell Wards)/Evrae (+Health)

    Major Earth resist on Aerith, Moderate on everyone else. +40% Wind on Cloud, +20% on Zack.

    Zack: LS x2, Chain, spam Rippling Blast, BSB when it's up
    OK: BSB, Wall, Wrath/Entrust Cloud
    Shelke: Wrath x2, Entrust Cloud, Wrath, summon Typhon, Entrust Cloud, Wrath/Entrust Cloud
    Aerith: Protectga, Wait for after first Looming Wrath series, USB2, then Curada if you have time, otherwise just wait and refresh USB2. Takes the most practice to learn timing.
    Cloud: Lifesiphon, Glint, USB1, USB2, Quadstrike, USB2, AOSB.

    Actually I think I need to run it again to get the exactness down, but that's it 95%.

    38thdoe his Glint is good here because the stacking EnWind greatly increases the damage of his SB entries when they break the damage cap.
