I just realized that Rem’s USB means I don’t need to field a full Holy Mage team to use her. Which is nice because it means I can take advantage of Ramza’s chain with characters like Beatrix and Leo. Getting enough meter with Rem is proving difficult, however. Holy-weak Odin attacks a lot, such that giving meter to Rem from Ramza is not helping too much, what with his chain needs. I wonder if I should instead try to make Ramza actually fight, and replace Leo with Tyro as a full-time Entruster? If Beatrix can reduce Odin’s defenses enough, Rem might be all I need for Proper Damage.
Edit:
Hmmm... Ramza’s Enholy USB is available from the Papaya Shop. Tempting, tempting.
Celes OSB, the fest really wants to help my wind team.
Tried king behemoth with very much a trial team (Rydia, Maria, Edge, Elarra, Onion Knight) with only a BSB on Rydia and Glint/AOSB on Maria I wasn't expecting much but got him down to 60 something%. It felt like a sign that with a good bit of tweaks I can do this. Diving both Rydia and Maria, getting Maria's USB and more hones to cast/craft chain stonja will hopefully do it. Might get the earth m dagger too.

How much does Def breakdown do against Titan? Is it worth using? I can't figure out what abilities it makes sense to give Elarra. Bard +ATK seems to make sense. Not sure if it helps or not.
I found Warrior’s Hymn to be of particularly good use vs Dark-Weak Odin, in combination with Nanaki’s USB for 30% ATK. It stacks with pure ATK buffs as well.

Just the bard song. Zack chain gives nothing of course.
Wait wha? Zack’s chain gives 50% ATK buff along with the chain and the crit damage boost, doesn’t it? Or does Titan do an ATK Break?
Enlong on

Oh, yeah you are correct. I can't remember what soul breaks do. Or abilities do. I have the pdf file open because I can't tell how long buffs last. Now I'm making an excel spreadsheet of when Titan does what and how long everything lasts.
So yeah, the Hymn will stack with Zack’s chain, so you should see a power boost.
Depending on what else Elarra has room for, Passionate Salsa might be another option, to use between song uses after you get the full buff active. The healing is REALLY minor, but it’s there, and the stat reduction on Titan may help.
I decided I was going to do the awakening select, so I did the draw (waiting on the select).

Aerith Awakening
OKAY.
First healing awakening and it looks like a doozy.
Aerith Awakening is ridiculously good. She can singlehandedly heal your team from 1 HP to full in a single turn because of the way her LM2 and LMR stacks.
PCecil's synchro is so weird. It comes with a special status that adds chases depending on which Sync command you use, so they count as separate abilities (for things like stripping multiple rage levels) even though they're inescapably tied to the sync commands. Which is pretty nice for the C1, which is just offensive stuff... Then you get to his C2. The sync command is a cure level medica. That's it. That's bad even for a healer burst command. But the chase is a damage reduction barrier plus a couple Phys/Wht attacks. So I guess they just split off the effects wherever and called that good enough. Doesn't even heal for quadruple digits in his sample video with it.
Alright! Holy team for Odin makes it to the final attack before losing. I think it’s time to get Beatrix’s OSB off of the shop, so that she can (hopefully) spam 99999 damage hits in the last phase instead of 49995 with her BSB. Rem is proving real strong if she survives, easily breaking rage with an R5 Holyja, and spamming full damage OSBs in the final phase. It’s about optimizing Damage now.
I'd like to pull for Edge because he's a cool guy, but this stuff isn't actually very good for me, and I have most of the Vincent and Reno stuff already.
Don't forget to save mythril for Realms on Parade, since that starts next week.
Took Aerith solo healing for a spin against Holy Odin. Getting SUPER close, might manage it with her taking Ultra Cure instead of Curada because of lack of Esuna/Astra, but MAN.
Phase 3 Odin is terrifying if you're used to having Regenga to regenerate health before that first set of attacks.
Oh, dupe Gladio USB, dupe Cait With BSB and a new LMR for Aria. Tbh versus my average pretend pull I'm ahead since I got discos in all my pulls so far. Free is free after all.

Rikku Chain
I'm stacked for water, but replacing Tidus old chain with Rikku is fantastic.

All dupes, though. Golbez burst and USB, bartz arcane

Apparently passionate salsa is a bigger debuf then breakdown dance
Yup. Says right in the description. I'm not sure it overwrites buffs tho like Faith.
Right significant is less significant than large. What a fool I am!
I thought number of shards was determined by the rosetta + thing?
Box step is significantly reduce the defense
Salsa is lower a large amount.
Hey you know what's easier and saves space?

Why is this so hard for them?
You get 2000 rainbow points for sharding a base 5* relic (or 4500 for a base 6* relic) plus 1000 per augment level.
If you combine them, you end up with a single base 5* (or 6*) relic that has the augment levels added together.
ie
5* relic at 1 augment level = 3000 points
Combined 5*+ relic relic at 2 augment level = 4000 points

Meter isn’t an issue for final phase Rem (she can fire an OSB with every action, even under speed boosts), but that would help Beatrix.
100-gemmed Vincent's start with 3 quickcasts LMR, guess that is fine. I've already got his Awakening so I probably shouldn't pull here.

Minwu’s BSB Dupe.
Haha, I literally sharded this one today. Ah well.
Phase 3 Odin is terrifying if you're used to having Regenga to regenerate health before that first set of attacks.
At least it's 10mag/atk I guess, I might've preferred a dupe for the lenses.
Haven’t gotten more than 2/10 yet.
