    sucks that it was too slow to complete.

    So many weird surprise banners these days. Trying to drain mythril before the fest? This one is silly. Relics that lower elemental resistance... three of them. Woo.

    When do we get that "mythril for days logged in" thing, anyway?

    Ok another one done!
    jl4knamvfm77.png

    This time it was:

    WoL GSB, GSB+ and AOSB / Healing Smite + Shellga
    Matoya SSB and USB / Chilling Frost + Hastega
    Sarah BSB and GSB / Protectga + Allegro con Moto
    Garland AASB / Demon's Cross
    Meia USB / Chain Waterja + Lunar Leviathan

    edit: I lensed Matoya's Boostga this time. Hmm. That leaves Type 0 and III.

    And one more down!
    xfinijgmuylh.png

    Here's the team:

    OK BSB and AASB / Chain Firaja + Meltdown
    Luneth GSB+ and BSB / Hurricane Bolt and Sky High
    CoD USB / Necrocountdown and Shellga
    Refia GSB and BSB / Ironfist Fire
    Arc BUSB / Curada and Protectga

    No lens needed. Man, Refia's GSB is pretty fun! It's too bad that we've been railroaded into this Empowered Enele future tho.

    Ok that leaves one Torment missing. Type 0. I keep hearing this one needs a Last Stand/Reraise. Also...is the only Boostga from Deuce's BSB????

    Unless it's a dupe! I can't complain, I've got like 4 hits in a row. All dupes tho! Today was like my 3rd Innocent Cure copy. And to think I payed for this one! lol

    Anyways, with these odds I don't even want to see that FFX banner that keeps taunting me. I gotta remember that any mythril I have has to either go to Ramuh or Leviathan! That been said, I'm gonna do something stupid and try to pick up Noctis' SASB. Then again, I wonder if it's a good idea. He doesn't have a way to reEnFire eh?

    Been some months since I got anything noteworthy. Weeks of 1-3* relics with the occasional 4* or useless 5* to break things up.

    I got Pecil’s Arcane yesterday. A duplicate of it, and I’ve yet to use the first one, lol.

    His Ultras in the lens shop just don’t look too appealing. Doesn’t help that Paladin Wall isn’t of much use vs Deathgaze.

    You shouldn't need more than three stacks and 25 seconds of fire aura, not with all the ATB cheating he can do

    (also, his glint+ adds one more stack of fire aura)

    The last two 6* relics I've gotten were Barbariccia's USB and Tama's USB, in January 2020 and May 2019. Even just getting an LMR is a good day.

    New FF12 event, and Vaan's new AASB is an apology to him for 6* Magicite.

    Vaan's Genji Shield [AASB, +10 ATK] (NEW!)
    15 single-target Wind/NE physical attacks, En-Wind, En-Wind Stack, Awoken Thief Mode, Cap Break Level 1, Instant Thief & Luminescence to user

    Awoken Thief Mode: Unlimited Thief Hones, Thief Ability Boost & Dualcast Thief
    Luminescence: After using 2 Wind abilities, grants En-Wind to user

    He can FINALLY EnWind. He also gets a Glint+ and Glint that grant EnWind + Stacking.

    Interesting that they packed in Instant Thief, so he's not still using his USB1.

    oof. 6 imperil is much better than 1-4.
    So that just pushes me back to needing Leviathan, who I don't have relics for either.

    I hate how the mastery threads are so full of Syncs. If you have the sync you don't have to write out a strategy. You can just sync and win.

    Eyy, those 100% HP bubble effects (eg Golbez USB2, DCecil USB1) getting a buff in Japan. Apparently damage caps were applied as the very last thing before it was inflicted. ie If DCecil has a 15k HP bubble, and a non-overflow attack was supposed to do 12k damage, it would take 12k off the bubble even though had the bubble not been there, it would have only taken off 9999 HP.

    In a vacuum Lightning Sync is probably the strongest, but it can't carry you. You need a whole bunch of stuff to make things manageable.

    This is probably one of the reasons the 100 AASB banner isn't that exciting to me honestly. Even if you get an EnEle AASB, without proper support (an AOSB, LMR, Imperil), you aren't gonna go real far in those fights.

    Well you can lens two of those three eventually. AoSB are only good for 20 hit style. Otherwise better to have OSB.

    That banner is really bad for me. Can’t spare that much mythril.

    People keep saying that 3 OSB hits is bad, I don't think I agree with that sentiment

    Most characters have something you can pick up in the lens shop to go well with an Awakening. Or will be getting something in the next update, which should be soonish

    Not sure what the 100 Awakening banner is, but it sounds good to me

    The banner itself is the problem for me. Again, for me. Bartz is dupe, Terra is dupe, Tyro USB4 is dupe, Dr. Mog is dupe. That leaves only TGCid's AASB as a "win". And it isn't really since he can't EnEle. Now, the three Imperils. Rikku and Rufus are "upgrades" to their BSBs I already have and I already cleared cleared Titan so Faris is bleh. I guess Terra's GSB is a nice get?

    3-hit Arcanes aren’t bad, just outclassed if the character has damage limit break. That said, they’re no longer superior to OSBs except that you can spend them in one turn instead of 3.

    Okay not bad per se... but you have to say that the ability to do 300k is in a slightly different class from the ability to do 500k-2m

    AOSBs go great with awakenings/syncs because the best thing to do with those are just spam them for 4-5 turns without weaving other SBs in, so you're essentially always going to exit them with a ton of meter.
