    Still that’s the only thing I have for terra so I’m not sure that makes her usable.

    If you can nab any source of en-fire on her she's good to go - Wrath, en-fire SB, Meltdown/Chain Firaga, AOSB finisher. Throw her ridiculously good trance mode in there and she'll melt faces.

    Not for lack of trying, I love FF VI, but haven't been able to pull a terra relic at all and I have been playing for awhile. So you agree that she can't really hold up with just the AOSB?

    So, only thing of note I've pulled from RoP was Tidus USB, which I was excited, cause maybe chain, then annoyed because Blitz Ball, then pretty ok because Not Wakka.

    Also, completely unrelated, I cleared Hydra.

    Tifa BSB+USB and Edge USB0 for a bajillion last stands and Reflect Damage.

    I also have his OSB, but my water team DPS right now is Yuffie BSB2 USB(2?).

    She still can, it's just not quite as easy to cap as if she had en-fire, and it may restrict her to fights against fire-weak bosses. She still gets a MAG boost from her trance, but she'd need a good amount of external support.

    Not entirely useless! You can give it to a DPS and have them use +30% Dagger DMG as their RM, if you've already got your Truthseeker and +30% Weakness RMs taken up.

    As is her Fire Beam SSB.

    The BSB is a BSB, though, and the armour is +Fire.

    Terra USB1, Glint, and LMR are on fest Banner 2, if it doesn't change from the JP version. Though if you're super stacked for fire stuff already, maybe you weren't going to draw on that banner.

    Gogo BSB here, not too useful but i love the character so it's fine.

    Almost decided on taking seph bsb2 for siren from the wonder draw, but noticed it was on banner 1 of the fest in jp so I'll wait a bit longer.

    Yeah I wish it was someone else. Locke has a lot more utility than Gilgamesh and his BSBs are not worthless. Since I already have Locke chain I’m more interested in elements I don’t have.

    They really need to add Tactician's Grimoire to the Crystal Tower. Making Tyro worthless sucks. As do situations like this.

    I guess it's time to bust out Noctis, Zell, and Vaan again.


    RIP, revenge-Cagnazzo. Power creep meant you didn't even get to see Delita and Shantotto do their BSBs this time.

    That thing is quite nice. Boosts the team, carries a damage boost to the ability type, and chases. He can Legend Dive for Dualcast knight, too.

    Watch out for the expiration date on the Wondrous Draw banner; it ends on the 24th, should be right before draw 1 becomes available. You will likely need to pick before the fest banners start or else get randomly given your selection.

    Edit Though there is the lucky en-element draw before the 24th, so if you plan to roll on that one maybe wait til at least then.

    Oh that sucks, thanks for the heads up! Will have to make a difficult choice before then in that case.

    I am kinda overwhelmed with the options in wonder draw. Part of me just wants to go "fuck it, Squall BSB2" so his LD feels more useful, but I can sub-30 Tiamat reliably now, so it doesn't seem worthwhile?

    What's the best single-target enLit relic? Kraken and Hades are my only non-sub30s, and nothing I can get from the draw will help with Hades.

  • Options
    EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    Oh right, the wonder draw deadline.

    I think I'm still gonna go with Rem's BSB. Magic Holy is pretty rare.

    I ended up going with Ramza's Battlecry burst. Prior to that I only had Shout, so I wanted a little something extra for him to do.

    Got Locke's USB from ROP VI. Nice highlight in what's been a relatively boring ROP. Other highlights have been Noel's LMR (+ice armor!) and Cait Sith's BSB.
    So far:
    Ovelia's LMR. I have her SSB, Wcast white helps. The only big hitters I'm missing from my FFT team with Agrias, Ramza, TGCid, Marche and Ovela are Ovelia USB and BSB and Orlandeau USB and BSB.
    Estinien LMR. Starting en-wind on a spellblade and I have 2 x SSS R3, so OK, I guess?
    Noel LMR. +ice!
    Basch SSB (with blink). I'm slowly, randomly getting Basch stuff. Have his Unique and OSB, now SSB.
    Lion BSB. Not bad! Stacking pbreak will get used CMs and possibly Crystal Tower.
    Wakka BSB (dupe). At least it's an 8* now.
    Zidane LMR. Wcast wind might be enough to make him good: I have his SSB1 and BSB2 (en-wind).
    Squall SSB. Seriously, Cutting Trigger. Also got Organics off the Library random pulls. Talk about blasts from the past.
    Cait Sith BSB. +Atk/Def +crit chance seems like a fantastic buff (when not conflicting with Cloud USB), the commands are mixed debuffs, and he's got dance 5/bard 5. Lots of good options.
    Locke USB.

    I'm tempted by this, but I almost always use him alongside Onion or someone else with his USB instead of shout. Not sure his Shout BSB would really see much use.

    No, brain. I don't need Kimahri's BSB to go with his USB. Yes, it is a shame that he can't do much past the initial cast for a water team, but my water team sub-30'd Maliris before I got Yuffie's BSB1. Physical Water is not a priority right now.

    Shout/BSB2 started going in my rotation again as omniresist has come back and I want to use Cloud USB. It's just easier than having to deal with worrying about overwriting the 100% crit buff.

    I think I'm still leaning towards picking up Strago BSB from the gem select. Good call about putting a phone reminder to do the pick, though.

    If you happen to have his LMR (start with ice aura) and a sufficiently honed Snowspell Strike, the BSB2 doesn't necessarily do that much for you, IMO. Plus that thing (BSB2) is going to keep popping up whenever Squall rears his head. For example, the next two VIII events should both include banners with Squall USB2/BSB2/LMR, and one of them also has his Glint.

    Isn't that one of the options in AA?

    Yeah, I do. His LMR was why I dived him, I made a second copy of Snowspell Strike, got one to R3 and the other to R2, and that's literally what allowed me to sub-30 Tiamat. Which is why I'm grimacing a tad when it comes to picking that even though in a vacuum it's one of the strongest items on the banner.

    Hmmm.

    *goes back to look at his collection*

    List of dualcast LMR with nothing above SSB:
    Strago (water)
    Vincent (fire)
    Seymour (dark)
    Shantotto (triple witch)
    Queen (lightning)
    Agrias (knight)

    ...hmmm. Queen's isn't in AA, and doesn't look TOO bad, despite not having enElement. There's a tradeoff buff, and CMD1 boosts spellblade, so it basically becomes a "use burst, cmd2, cmd1, spam thundering quadstrike or a 6* lightning spellblade"

    Or I could grab Agrias and dive her (since I'm looking for my final dive of round 2 anyway) and just have another AoE imperil knight who can both dualcast and cause imperil on knight abilities, which has potential to be hilarious.
