Anniversary Draws:
1- Zidane AASB (dupe from yesterday) Master AOSB Zell dual monk Materia. I guess I said I needed 1 tech... well Zell's materia looks good atleast
2- Sabin AOSB, Meia AOSB (dupe), Larsa LMR, March BSB - meh
3-Serah Glint+(!), Morrow USB (who?), Panelo USB (seems good), Krile AOSB (dupe), Angeal LMR - Lot of stuff all over the board on quality
4- Ultimicia bUSB Might be useful
5-Vaan AASB (Nice), Refia AOSB, March USB - Not sure where to use this stuff but sure
Focused Relic (no dupes so no real question)
1-Terra LMR Neat, Bartz LMR Neat
2-Tyro USB[crit], Rufus USB (well guess I'm going dark in VII), Faris LMR
Nothing game changing, but some good pick ups there.
What? Tyro USB4 is pretty awesome. I'd say it is his most important relic after USB3.
Hastaga and group Crit fix, seems good but I think I'm missing something, cause I'm not seeing how that would bump out a DPS spot for Tyro? The fact the buff improvement is tied to support also seems sub-optimal for most magicite fights. It would be a great follow along with USB3 but sadly, I don't have that one. I see using it on physical teams without a chain holder, but those are getting rarer for me. Maybe beating out Gen 0 or 1 chain holders?
Honest question, what is the ideal use for it?
You can just buy his USB3 for 1000 type 3 lenses. I'd recommend doing so. You can also grab his LMR if you don't have it. Boosting the damage of 2 other people should make up for missing a person.

Everytime he uses a support ability the Crit Chance increases 10%. After 5 uses (say Wrath and Entrust) basically all your melee will double their damage. Magicite 5* onward are VERY tanky with their rage modes and some will not cap without having 100% Crit Chance. This is usually the only way when you're starting on Magicite 5* to let characters like Bartz hit 19999 on every hit they do on their Awakening + USB1 combo.
Oh, and Tyro USB4 for Magicite 4* is basically a gen 2 melee chain/better than gen 0-1 chain. Matter of fact, Tyro USB4 is probably better than OK pUSB if you can get your Boostga elsewhere.
As a data point, I have used Tyro USB3+USB4 for three of the four 6* magicites I've cleared. (For Ifrit, I found it easier to drop him for a second healer)
Wait. Switch Draw mode is that thing where you get an infusion of the next element you use, right?
Ultimecia’s Awakening may be better than I first thought.
Yeah, it's pretty alright. That + alphinaud + fujin chain was sufficient to do magic Titan (with a lv 99 Titan providing support), although I had to buy her burst to have a way to reapply enWind.
Basically the only situation where I'd say tyro USB4 isn't a real get is if you have his Awakening, which is a straight upgrade (but can only be used once). That's the situation I'm in, so I'm not actively seeking it, but I wouldn't mind having it.

Neat!
My Wind chain is Alphinaud instead of Fujin, so I’d probably either want to get Fujin’s USB or field Terra with her Fire Awakening, Wind USB, and Meltdown. Fujin’s USB is a pretty promising idea, now I have her LMR for Enwind.
Not that I particularly want to revisit Titan for a while, now that I have 2.
i caved and did the aasb select after this disastrous morning of pulls because god damnit i want a healer aasb and they don't even have any in this fest.
i got faris usb and terra aasb which were the only items i wanted, so we take those. gonna select elarra once the bonus draws are over so i don't meme dupe it later.
Huh? The fourth banner is mostly healer AASBs.
They're just... for Porom, Alma, and Deuce.
like i said, they don't even have any in this fest lol.

Tragedy strikes the 38thdoe Royal Archives:
My Titan hit max level and now I need another magicite to level or I'm wasting exp. I have 6 water chains. What's my best Ifrit team?
Magic
Meia Glint, OSB
Onion Glint, AOSB, BSB, LMR
Rydia LMR, ASSB, AOSB, OSB
GOGO V CSSB BSB enwater
Strago CSSB
Physical
Yuffie LMR, AASB, AOSB, USB ( enwater), Imperil BSB
Paine LMR CSSB, ASSB, USB (enwater)
Edge LMR, CSSB, BSB Enwater, SSB
Bartz LMR USB1 USB2 BSB enwater AASB
Tidus LMR CSSB en water, Glint, BSB, BSB2, OSB, USB, could pick him for AASB and AOSB
Wakka Imperil USB
Kimhari Lol AOSB and BSB imperil
Rikku G+ CSSB USB1 BSB imperil
I think I'm far more likely to succeed here then with Leviathan or Ramuh
Assuming you have good Tyro and Elarra tech, you probably have a clear using Rikku, Yuffie, and Tidus, especially if you take Tidus's AASB/AOSB. The main thing I'd be concerned over is dealing with the pillars in phase2 and 3 since Tidus and Rikku don't have good AoE SBs to consistently bring them to a sliver like Yuffie does.
You can also dump experience into future fodder that needs to be brought to level 99. eg Phoenixes for the zillion health boons to put on 6* magicite.

I do have his 5-star Glint and BSB, which is pretty strong if one doesn’t have his Awakening.

I'm missing Tyro AASB and his book thing, but I have complete Elarra
level up some phoenixes and lakshmis while you figure it out
physical seems way better for you, so I'd start there. You don't have Leviathan for imperils, so you probably want to bring Rikku to do that with Aquatic Weakness and SB casts, and might as well have her chain. May want to pick up her BSB enwater. You definitely want Yuffie as a hitter, and I'd probably go with Paine as the other, but you could certainly try Bartz. A point in Paine's favor is that she and Rikku can switch off chain duties mid fight (later in the fight, Rikku probably wants to be dropping imperils). Try with two healers to start.

If I stick Healing boon and Health boon on Titan how many more will I need?
So, Zidane's Sync is kind of bonkers. Triple enWind, Trance, and 3 turns of instant ATB. In other words, you use his sync, and then he takes three more turns instantly, with instant cast from trance. Also, his AASB is Awoken Thief, but his Sync links on Wind, so he can use 6* Celerity abilities to double dip on those things like Rydia and Alphinaud can.

Ultimecia’s Awakening may be better than I first thought.
Yup. She was in both my Dark and Wind teams thanks to that AASB. My favorite. Especially cuz she uses Summons so in Magicite 5*s she didn't need much to start capping right away.

You forget that Celerity has also that awesome awesome Running Start. So...is he Waifu Lightning but for Wind?

He already gets instant cast from his Trance. Running Start doesn't do anything.
Hah. Without fail, every time I try out a new Wind team against Adamantoise, I forget that his Haste-strip attack exists. That aside, Ultimecia works about as well as expected. Now I need to decide if Fujin, Terra, or Wedge makes for a better additional DPS. Probably not Wedge, though. Terra has a(n off-element but still functional with Meltdown) Awakening, and Fujin can lens a USB that’s about as good as Wedge’s, plus she has OSB spam as an option.
Wedge can dualcast Wind, though.

Getting Titan to max inheritance didn't dent my phoenix pile. Still have 60+ in the vault.
I personally would hold onto those like I hold onto Bughamut.
Wait, what's Bughamut???? FF6 Bahamut?
There's a special version of the Bahamut summon that exists only in the tutorial stuff. It's different from the actual craftable Bahamut ability. It can't be crafted, and can't be honed. For the second anniversary, they accidentally gave us a copy of the tutorial Bahamut instead of the craftable/honeable Bahamut.
Zell USB
Fujin AOSB
Krile USB Earth
Dupe Garland AASB
Desch's Glint Gladio AASB!!!!
Another Earth AASB! And on a guy with a Last Stand SSB + En Earth USB. Dammit, this makes the AASB select and Free set choice even more difficult. At least I now have competent Earth tech to do some real attempts on Ramuh.
Congrats on Gladio's AASB. That thing is pretty nuts, since the finisher on it blows out every other similar AASB finisher. Kain's is a one-hit that caps at 100k and Bartz gets a couple of weak hits, but Gladio's finisher was easily hitting for a combined 300k with a G2 chain against Quetzalcoatl, without a damage RM. Everyone else gets an OSB finisher but he ends with an AOSB.
AASB lucky was only 1/11 but it was Bartz which I've been hunting for. Not sure who to pick for the free draw, and if I do the 2 AASB pulls who to pick for that now. Will have to think about it. Bartz was my primary goal right now.

Better to do half-cost draws on 3 banners, or half-cost draw on banner 3 and an awakening select?
Yup. She was in both my Dark and Wind teams thanks to that AASB. My favorite. Especially cuz she uses Summons so in Magicite 5*s she didn't need much to start capping right away.

He already gets instant cast from his Trance. Running Start doesn't do anything.
I'd probably do the half cost + Awakening select, provided there's something there you could really use.
Instant ATB, not instant cast.
His bar is full as soon as he acts.
So if you use thief abilities, you get 3 turns of instant bar full, instant cast.
Well now. That does change things.
Wedge can dualcast Wind, though.

A one-time use copy of FF5 Bahamut that you get in one of the training things and don't have to use.

Presumably, that's why they eventually renamed the good Bahamut summon to "Bahamut (V)", so they wouldn't accidentally make that mistake again.
