    Full throttle: 3/11 with a disco
    Zack BSB
    Quina last stand LMR
    Reks lit radiant USB

    That's actually a solid draw, honestly.

    Water: Tidus enWater LMR/11

    Lightning: 2/11 both disco
    Dupe queen USB
    Prompto USB

    Well, no chain, but I did get some good/alright relics.

    Man I'm looking at FT and...I think I should never complain about my draws. I'm surprised there are some realms like 13 where I don't need stuff or even stuff like XI where the only thing I'm missing is the AOSB.

    I kinda want to waifu pull 6 but I my head tells me I should pull T0 for Torment purposes.

    well, did water because best stuff and holy because i haven't done the dark magicites yet. 1/11 lulu enwater lmr, trash. 1/11 pcecil gsb, trash.

    i feel scammed.

    Fire draw went a bit better for me: got Vincent's chain (plus four mostly irrelevant 5* items)

    I like the RK Squared probability simulator that 38thDoe linked, you can select the items you care about and it'll tell you the odds you get at least one of those items. It also gives you the odds for if you were to do the draw more than once, and the equivalent odds if you could spend 50 mythril doing 3 1/3 of the discounted 15 mythril draws. I was moderately stingy with what I was selecting for the Fire draw, but still got to 46.8% happy for a 15 mythril draw, or a whopping 87.8% happy for a theoretical 3 1/3 draws.

    I have a 26% of getting an item I want from the Holy banner for 50 mythril. That's a bad idea right?

    Yeah, that's pretty bad. That's worse odds than wanting 3/14 items on a regular banner (35%). Since triple awakening banners are going to be a regular thing...I would not do that holy draw

    Thanks I needed to hear that. I guess its back to grinding magia on my deathgaze team.
    Maybe in a few weeks I can try again.
    >_<

    I guess I should put Pal Cecil in there so I can have a chain holder magiaed up.

    I’m afraid to do the Dark draw now (or whenever I have 15 blues again). I’m certain I’ll just get Gaffgarion’s LMR or something.

    Wherein I continue to be a crazy person unable to hold onto mythril:

    Dark: 2/11 2 discoes
    Gabranth bubsy (huh...synergy with heavy charge. interesting)
    Edea AOSB

    Neither one will help with Odin, but still useful items

    Holy: 1/11 no disco
    Raines BSB dupe lol (this actually lets me reforge this so it's not WORTHLESS, but still)

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    Did you already clear Dark-weak Odin? I figure that being able to spam Overstrikes would be a good thing for him.

  • JragghenJragghen Registered User regular
    Thinking aloud on the select:
    I: Sarah dupe
    II: Minwu dupe
    III: Both Luneth dupes
    IV: Both pCecil dupes
    V: No dupes
    VI: No dupes
    VII: Dupe all but AOSB
    VIII: No dupes
    IX: All dupes
    X: Both Tidus dupes
    XI: Dupe all but AOSB
    XII: Dupe all but AOSB
    XIII: No dupes
    XIV: No dupes
    XV: No dupes
    T: No dupes
    0: All dupes

    I: Haven't beaten torment, already have a better USB for WoL
    II: Haven't beaten torment. Firion's stuff actually looks pretty okay. Haven't beaten Holy Odin (but this probably won't be useful for it)
    V: Sub-30'd torment. Have Bartz AASB, which MY GOD synergizes. Have other Lenna USB (this one kinda sucks) Beaten 3 of 4 odins Bartz most useful for, lack chain for the fourth
    VI: Beaten torment, not sub-30. No healing USB for realm. Beaten Fire Odin
    VIII: USB worse than BSB2. Actually useful healing USB. Beaten torment
    XIII: Haven't beaten torment. No healing USB for realm, but have instant BSB. Have Lightning Bubsy already. Healing USB is more a buff USB anyway.
    XIV: Haven't beaten torment. Healing USB is lol. Good magic fire stuff, but already beaten fire odin
    XV: Haven't beaten torment, but probably can with Prompto USB. Non-elemental. No healing USB for realm
    T: Beaten torment. Haven't beaten holy Odin but these probably won't help. Healing USB is a definite improvement.

    ...more options than I expected, honestly. Kinda leaning V just for Bartz because I want to break his AASB further.

    Not yet - too much stuff to juggle, tbh. I'm honestly just not sure where I'd fit him in?

    Pieces I'm working with:
    Chains I'm set, but Seifer seems the obvious choice (gen2 physical) because magical I'm lacking overstrikes and gen1 is eh. I also have his party powerchain USB
    Nabaat for Imperil (with USB)
    Sephiroth for DPS (USB1/2)
    Elarra for healing
    Selphie for healing and astra

    I could definitely see benefit swapping him in for someone (particularly Selphie) but the random middle-fight sleep which hits 4 people would just doom me.

    I've also got Vayne bubsy and cloud with basically all his dark stuff floating out there as potential fit-ins, too.

    I drew on everything because why the hell not.

    FT: 1/11, Rosa LMR dupe. Took XI since I don't have any of those relics.
    Fire: 3/11, Vincent USB1 dupe, Steiner LMR imperil, Cyan USB. Meh, if I ever use a VI fire team, I guess.
    Ice: 1/11, Edea USB ability double. Good stuff, makes picking my magic ice team harder.
    Lightning: 1/11, Garnet AOSB. Great, I use her CSB and it's another magic +lightning weapon!
    Water: 2/11, Tidus BSB2, Aria USB. Wasn't expecting THAT on the banner.
    Wind: 2/11, Angeal LMR, Bartz OSB. +10 ATK on Bartz.
    Earth: 2/11, Red XIII CSB dupe, Enna Kros AOSB. Argh on the dupe since I still want the physical chain, but that's a decent earth weapon for Rinoa.
    Holy: 1/11, WoL LMR dupe. Bleh.
    Dark: 2/11, Sephiroth AASB dupe, Kuja BUSB. Argh for the dupe, neat for Kuja.

    Nothing spectacular, but worth the price.

    Earth: Thancred BUSB and Maria LMR
    Lightning: Vivi USB3, Edgar AOSB dupe
    Fire: Jack LMR and Refia glint

    Decent start, hoping for some real killers on the other pulls though.

    I think that Awakenings are basically mandatory because of the stacking rage modes. When he jumps 2 or 3 levels, if you don't have a doublecast where both casts break the cap, you're in serious trouble.

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Pulls thus far:

    FT: Firion Glint Dupe
    Dark: Leon BSB
    Lightning: Aranea LMR, Matoya USB, Shantotes USB and Arcane Dupes
    Fire: Refia Glint, Elena USB, Greg USB2 Dupe, Seifer USB2
    Wind: Marcus USB

    Some unfortunate duping but overall a decent haul. Nothing I was expecting but who knows, could be useful.

    Probably grabbing the VII kit for FT, Cloud stuff is new to me.

    What’s mildly infuriating is thinking this, and then seeing a video where someone does the dang fight without any cap-breaking modes at all. Of course, he has stuff like Gabranth’s chain, so that strategy is still out of my grasp.

    Water - 1/11 dupe Rydia LMR2.
    Ugh.

    Lightning - 2/11 Rapha LMR, dupe Reno USB1
    UGH.

    Wind - 2/11 Luneth glint, Nine USB
    Meh. Torment fodder at best. Actually I don't think Nine even makes the cut at this point. When did I fill up in this realm? I've never pulled on a Type-0 event banner.

    Ice - 2/11 Edea USB2, Celes AOSB
    Finally, a good one! I have Edea's USB1 and basically Celes's whole kit aside from USB2 and CSB. (I was kind of hoping that sword was the USB2 for 6* magicite future-proofing, though. I guess LMR2 alone won't really cut it there...)


    Not so sure about the other half. Odds are below 30% for most of them.

    I pulled a Dupe chain on fire
    Dupe lightning USB1 on lightning. Remember when that thing was good? Now she has what 2 or 3 of them and an AASB coming? That was our first USB right?

    Only Earth left to pull. Kinda meh on anything I'd get from there but 15 mythril is a thing I apparently don't want or need.

    I went with my heart instead of trying to logic out what would work best, and chose V for the select.

    My Bartz is now:
    SSB
    waBSB
    wiBSB
    fBSB
    OSB
    Glint
    USB1
    AOSB
    AASB

    For a total of +90 ATK and 5 SPD

    e: Forgot LMR. So 100ATK

    e2: Heh. Of those, OSB, AOSB, USB1 all came from gem selects, I think. fBSB was from AA, too.

    Yeah, it was last week, for me. I haven’t fought Famfrit this week.

    Her Bubsy is nice, but speed is hard to powercreep. Kinda why I use Bartz’s USB1 way more than the USB2, too.

    The tankier the enemy is during rage mode, the more valuable overflow attacks are to me. Famfrit isn't close to Deathgaze, who practically requires overflows just to beat.

    Any idea when the next banner with good holy items period is? I realize the chain is missing for months but is there any hope?

    Side realization of today: with the select draw today, I now can field:

    Ignis with burst
    Bartz with all of the above (most importantly the AASB and USB)
    Zack with CSB and BSB (since he can imperil now)

    And maybe have an analogue to that Zidane/Faris team for off-realm torments (or hell, just select faris's burst from the lab), particularly with Bartz' LMR

    Woke up, saw that the elemental banners were more current than expected and got to pulling. I feel like these caught my luck up a bit in general.

    Fire - Auron USB (the unique id one we needed for the hard judge fight)
    Locke CSB! Wasn't actually expecting to hit one of the two chain types I still needed. Great start.

    Earth - Ingus BSB1
    Noctis Awakening - I haven't pulled on a FF15 banner since the Prompto/Aranea banner when I first started the game but I've now got a Noctis with LMR, SSB, USB1/2, OSB, AOSB and this! Pretty pleased

    Ice - Squall bUSB - Ice has been lagging behind a bit, my team was still squall bsb2 + ayame bsb for physical.

    Water - Strago EnWater LMR - I have both his LMRs and that's it.
    Yuffie BSB1 (dupe) - Water banner was a definite miss.

    Holy - Relm BSB (dupe)
    Hope BSB(dupe)
    Tama BSB - Holy Radiant Shield

    Dark - TGCid BSB (dupe)
    Garland Glint - Endark and I have Trance LMR, OSB, USB
    Leon Glint - Also Endark and looking at my list, I have his USB
    CoD USB - My dark magic is basically Cid Raines BSB and Sephiroth Awakening from last pull of the fest (had to do 15 d??? torments which turned out to be worth) I think she gets on the team with Seph/Seifer

    Full throttle - first gem pull that got me some neat stuff in the pull itself!
    Fran LMR - Moderate chance to interrupt actions when targeting enemies with support abilities when a bow is equipped. This sounds like +10 attack to me.
    Jecht USB - +Dark Blitzball and gives him more of a use since I've been sitting on his OSB + SSB for a long time.
    Gabranth bUSB - Dark heavy combat user seems good to me. I also only had his OSB + SSB as well. +Dark Sword is less interesting at this point.

    Picked: Locke AOSB+USB1 and Relm USB. Locke is pretty kitted out now with a bad SSB, LMR, Imperil BSB, Glint, USB1+2, AOSB and Chain.

    Ice and Water draws were terrible BSB dupe/11s, oh well.

    So, lemme pick yer brains for a sec. I need to select an AOSB, and I want to pick one for one of my AASB owners. The choices are Terra (3 fire Overstrikes), or Tidus (20+1 Overstrike). Which way do I go?

    Also it feels weird to finally have Cloud USB1 after not having it for all this time.

    Tidus, because with the AASB active, every one of the 20 hits can cap at 19999.

    Yep.

    It basically boils down to "Zidane 100% crits, has a damage boost on crit, heals himself fully every time he attacks, gets instant cast, can double cast, has empowered enWind, has ability boost on his attacks, and when his USB2 expires will do 16 attacks that will probably all cap." Meanwhile Faris and magicite get the enemy to level 6 imperil.

    I think in some of the fights, Zidane was the only person left alive because he's healing himself fully every turn.
