Is it an AASB? I don't even know what Queen's AASB is.
Imperial Saber [GSB+] - En-Lightning, En-Lightning Stack & Instant Cast 1 to user, Instant Cast & Zero SB Cost
Well... My first G+. Uhh? I'm not really sure how useful it is by itself. Maybe she has something useful in anima lenses or a good legend dive.
Hey I got that too, was hoping for the AASB as well when I saw it.
As it is, I've been pulling more and more of Queen's kit over the various LOTR's. I'm now at Glint+/BSB/USB/OSB. She could really use her doublecast lmr though.

Q&A from livestream:
Q1) We want more SB slots in battle
As usual, we will consider about it so give us some time
We understand the players' problem and will try to make it happen
Q2) Can we reset our Crystal Water allocation?
There is none
Instead, we are planning to give out more Crystal Waters
Q3) Can we unlock the entire Legend Sphere grid at once?
It will be implemented next week
On 17th September after the maintenance
Q4) Can we have more bosses in the Story Dungeons?
It will be difficult to add more at once
but we plan to have more within the first half of next year
We are aware that players want to challenge the final bosses
But won't that be lonely to have the series be completed?
Q5) 6* Magicite Dungeon is too difficult, and the difficulty gap with other contents is too huge. Please increase the difficulty of other events.
Event stages from October will be raised to D300~400
We will touch more on this in the next part of the stream
Last Qn) More Torment Dungeons
Or Nightmare over here
Rather than making more (which we don't plan on doing so), we plan on working on the current ones
Will have more details in Winter

The Chilling request final boss is kind of annoying. If you push him too fast, he chains a bunch of attacks in a row. Going to have to think a bit on an auto-battle team.
For the Ice damage race, what did folks use? Raijin SSB per normal?
You can say that again. Oh my goodness, the Overstrike spam some characters will be capable of. Just imagine what Cid Orlandeau can do.
And I’m sure some pre-super SBs will be of use with lowered costs. Bartz has a unique Enwind, I know. Sentinel’s Grimoire is also unique, though it still is outclassed by Dr Mog’s Glint if all you need is Wall.
Enlong on

I used my dark odin Ice team that has yet to actually kill dark odin ice. I missed the last gil reward but didn't really care. Instant cast of some kind and imperil+chain is probably how you want to go if you want S ranking. Note, he removes top and bottom characters near the end so don't stick good dps there.

OSBs at one bar means that rage breaking is a lot easier to pull off, now.

I also got the Glint+ and I'm in pretty much the same spot, except with SSB instead of OSB and I do have the LMR. Haven't done the Torment yet, so this should help a little.

Raines, Lightning, Alphinaud, Noctis, Lunafreya, Ramza, Rem, Ace, Tyro, Elarra

Is that what anima lenses are called in JP or is it a new thing? Sounds like what we have, unless all duplicates are going to now give two types of lenses.

unconfirmed. people are hopeful that it's a new level apart from the standard anima lens but we'll have to wait and see.

Honestly, OSBs just became generally a lot more interesting to have
Lol at people requesting even more SB slots in combat. Still pretty rare to meaningfully use four slots, but maybe with characters starting to get lots of single-use SBs including no-cost Glint+, I guess that could start being a thing in the future.
Default/unique/OSB down to one bar is a good balance change to make some old stuff at least marginally relevant again, and should help people who are struggling to get into 5* magicite. Tyro's Healing Grimoire being cut down to just one bar, from the original four, is kinda crazy to think about.
Other good uniques that I could see using more often with this change:
En-Element for certain characters who might not be getting it with their "main" SB (Bartz, Yuna, Gabranth, potentially a few others)
Imperils (Garland, Barret, Cid VII. Barret specifically seems crazy, guaranteed 2 stacks lightning imperil every other turn alternating Ace Striker+Wrath with SB)
party boosts/faiths (Leon, Basch, Mog, Rikku, Lulu)
hastegas (Edward, Leila, Sazh, Kefka, Red XIII, Edea)
certain medicas (Arc, Yuffie, Yuna, Vanille, Ramza, Tyro)
grants multiple instant casts to user (Tidus, Lightning)
JP only:
lots of the collab shared stuff, like the party ATK/MAG buff, or some of the DPS options
If one has Rydia's awakening, getting her own personal not-Tritoch will make her even better at blowing through 5* magicites. Only need two element chains (one of fire/ice/lit and one of holy/earth/water) to be able to do six of them, via wrong-chain madness.
edit: wonder if we will finally see some blue magic via character-specific abilities.
4 Crystal Towers left. Going to miss the easy motes.
JP already has a farm for 5* motes.
I'm not sure I am even going to use it when it arrives; I'm already at the point where I have nearly a thousand of each mote type floating around and not really many useful characters to spend them on. I just did Josef's dive even though I have no SBs for him, just because it's unique (first time Josef gets to critical HP, do a party medica+last stand)

I still need a lot of motes. My core magicite teams are fine but my torment teams are not. Also, it suuucks for someone that started "recently" that I don't have enough job motes to max out every character.

They haven't released enough job motes for ANYONE to max them out, regardless of time played.
My spreadsheet is out of date, so this might have SLIGHTLY changed, but last I checked we were getting close on Bard (74 short), Ninja (110 short), and Thief (120 short). Worst case is Knight which is 700 (!) short
e: Those look to now be 54, 90, 100, and 680, respectively.
e2: I'm up to 85 people full dived, 7 half dived, and enough motes for another 25 and some change. Damn.

Hmm. I'm not buying any more gems, but thinking about the ~5000 I have left.
Probably the 500 gem bUSB select this fest, the 3000 AASB select during winter fest, and fest banners x 5 for the next three fests. I might be almost free!

My problem with dives is that it takes way too long to dive every node and also there are so many worthless nodes. Usually on the left side. I dive hp mag attack and speed nodes very easily because they do things all of the time.
If I had gems I’d save them all for AASB and SASB selects.
oh no chain but... well I have his Arcane. I could do some fun stuff with him. And to be honest, I kinda like him! Maybe force him into my lightning team.
Orran’s BSB. Boosts the party’s ATK and RES. Boosts the party’s critical hit damage. Commands are a medica and a non-instant Curaga that gives the target Powerchain.
Wild thought; can I use this as a budget version of Ignis’s BSB? It has no crit-rate option, but Orran is a full Bard who can use Ode to Victory or Warrior’s Hymn. He can then use the heal one command line Ignis on 0 ingredients (or Umaro, haha). Worth a try, I think. I think he would do best in my physical Wind team, buffing Cloud and Gau, who get full crits.

Got a Daily hit, unfortunately a dupe. But it's Ysayle's USB which is at least +ice damage, so might be worth holding on to or combining.
That could cause some interesting stuff. Could lead to fewer moves made to only support one character, like Aqua Corkscrew.
