Tried Penelo a few times against Ramuh. Her AASB is fucking bonkers. Between the regenga, damage reduction barrier, and double chance for medica chase on top of Passion Salsa's normal medica, it's like 15 free seconds of just being straight up unkillable.
I just don't have her speedtrick USB.
...Unless I buy it.

Huh. I feel like this should be a decent enough blueprint for 'budget' Ramuh, although no clue why he didn't just use Bartz's BSB so he could totally skip Tyro's glint. Pretty sure the right chain (Galuf) and an extra imperil from him would make up for the Red RS. Galuf doesn't generate meter as well as Red though. Stupid fucking Support 3.
Use the Titan active to break walls one and three. Put the meter you saved on OSBs towards an Imperil cast.
My problem is two earth wards ten are better than one low level earth king thing and people are dying.
If Syldra is your resist thing, move it to a sub magicite. Titan thing is probably worth more offense than your second Madeen, between the blessing, the actual damage when it takes turns, and the rage levels it breaks when it takes turns.
I swapped out a defensive Madeen when I got my first Titan. I didn't want to try to figure out a new strategy using it as a main, but the Titan-specific boost and reduction were better than the secondary Madeen provided in both.

That would drop elarra hp a bit but I guess I’m not tanking any capped hits on Titan. I’ll try it. Bonus 8% damage should beat the 7.5% surging power when at full hp and be much better when not at full hp.
Bagammon and co. are doing too much damage in the record dungeon and I keep getting Expert.
Are you killing the adds? The battle ends after you kill just Ba'gammon, so just focus on him from the start. Dispel him and build charge while Basche draws hits until he can put down his party buff, then spam Vaan's OSB.
T0 got me Ace’s Glint. Empowered Enfire and speed. A decent Glint, and welcome considering his BSB doesn’t do Enfire. Not gonna get him a spot over Vivi or Axel, but probably good for the future if I get something else for him.
Deuce's usbx (healing/last stand/res)! I'm only missing a healing disco on aphmau now and I'll have all realms covered.

Elarra Glint+ and AASB means I don't need to input the first turn, so it's a true auto-clear. Plus, I can bring another DPS to Famfrit instead of a 2nd healer, so my clear time improved to the point where I can turn the battle speed up. Sweet! Effortless Arcana farming!
Oh well holy shit. FFT draw got me Orlandeau’s Awakening!
Of really mixed feelings about this. On the one hand, this is objectively an amazing soul break, and is finally an excuse to use Orlandeau for something more than a daily dungeon clearer. On the other hand, this comes swift on the heels of me clearing Holy and Dark Odin, meaning there’s no longer a fight worthy of using this thing on. And sadly, I know that by the time the rank 6 Dark and Holy Magicites come out, Orlandeau will be all but useless, as his gimmick until now has been the use of crits to get massive damage without elemental aura; a strategy that flat-out doesn’t work on the 6-stars. Does he get a new relic later that lets him get an aura?
I know, I’m grousing about an Awakening I got for 5 mythril, but at the moment it’s mostly for showing off or trying to get better time on Cuchulainn.

I'll trade ya my dupe Rapha or Malach no elemental boost stick. No idea which one it was.
Gizmaluke in record dungeons give anyone trouble? Countered everything on me, Vivi could cast one spell then get silenced over and over. Felt like I was doing something wrong.

Poked Devastation Ozma a bit. The PHY/MAG immunity is such a terrible momentum killer. Phase 5 is super tanky, the boss heals to full 6 seconds in, and you have a tiny clock before it starts throwing out Instant Death. I'll have to think this over a bit.
If so he has a dualcast dive and actually did good work in the torment with just BSB for me
Jack’s the Fire Samurai guy in T0. His BSB does Imperil Fire and his dive instead gives him Retaliate and 75% crit rate for a while after he hits critical health.

Daily Hit Sarah USB!
Apparently Sarah has 3 USB now? I also have her Glint and BSB and no idea what to equip on her.
Which sarah Glint? She actually has 2. It’s pretty wild just how much stuff she actually has.

Nothing amazing, but not worthless
1/3: Queen AASB
It's probably all downhill from here, but a new AASB is still a major win.
I thought so too...but alas it was not meant to be. Pulled on the reg Earth Elemental banner an got a dupe Maria USB....
T0 got me Ace’s Glint. Empowered Enfire and speed. A decent Glint, and welcome considering his BSB doesn’t do Enfire. Not gonna get him a spot over Vivi or Axel, but probably good for the future if I get something else for him.
I got that last LotR; it's real good. You can pick up her USB and double cast LMR in the lens shop, if you need them.
Hey, I got this too! Should be a nice upgrade over TG Cid spamming OSBs for when I tackle Famfrit later this week.
1/3 - Agrias OSB.
Yeah.

also jack bsb in type 0, which was oof
Is he the fire spellblade guy?
