FINAL FANTASY Record Keeper

I dunno he may have been, but still, provided my counterargument on why even if you've got a good SB for Agrias Saint's Cross is still viable

If you like THFs, have a good one, and don't want to bank on getting Platinum Shield + Excalibur for pecil in the future, Thief's Raid is better to invest in right now

lol I probably won't be using any mythril again until BSB I zero'd out in this banner

Have a chance at Excalibur then at least :^) dunno when the shield pops back up. Right now I'll have 3 or 4 pulls toward that banner (Basch shield, fran ssb, balthier ssb) so hopefully I get one of them. they're all ridiculous

Nothing wrong with having Saint.cross or TF on a character with a good SB or SSB/BSSB. You'll only need to use 6 life siphons and then you can use 2 more abilities(5 star ones are great here) to get 2 charges or 3 charge with striker for your gauge. Theres no point in bringing 2 knights if one can fulfill your needs, but to be fair knights are pretty strong(Leon,Agrias,Warrior of light,greg,pecil,beatrix, basch and delita)so wouldnt fault anyone in having 2 or 3 in their setups with good SB/SSBs or hones.

If you only need 1 round of SSB/SB damage then one could make a point about putting big multiplier abilities on non-ssb chars

Spent 50 myth and didn't get anything so I'm done spending for this event. I have Sazh's caltrop bomb so its not like I have no boostga. Maybe next FFT event~

Also; want.

Ouch...

Went to Velius, beat him relatively easy as his hp doesnt seems too high neither his defense, used Saint Cross for holy mastery condition and then... Expert.

The holy must be used on Archdemons, not Velius...

Wiegraf is a jerk. I feel like the 99 Diff rating is wrong...should be around 120 diff instead.

I can't beat Gaffgarion -.- (Not that I'm surprised, my team is severely underleveled. Bartz is 74, Cloud 65, then everyone else is mid 50's) Even with protectga, SG, BSB def+ he hits 800 or so. I almost got him but shout ran out and he murdered the last guy standing with Shadow Blade. If he had did a normal attack I would have won with retaliate ;-;

Kicking myself for not grinding enough during the orbfest.

Looking for AI thread, all those physical multi hits from Gafgarion and Wiegraf are PHY type so draw fire + retaliate is fair game.

You should not be having problems with your set up, you have native SG and Bartz SSB.

Whats the setup that you went in with, maybe we can improve on it~

drew Agrias shield off single pull today. so happy ;A;

Thanks for offering. :) I beat him! I'm thinking my problem is my abilities aren't honed. mid battle I end up stuck with attack onry for a few characters. ...or I may just suck! I dunno :P

post your setup, I'm curious :0

/sigh

6* Platinum Sword, and I am out of Mythril. so much for getting anything for Agrias. T-T

Using Shout instead of SG RW. I didn't get close to mastery but I didn't expect to get it anyway I just wanted the MC2. plsnobully ;-;

Just got Protectga/Shellga honed to rank 2 so that's taken care of for now, awaiting 50 gem for FFT banner pull and see what I get from that...

What's the use of Rosetta's stone anyway? My 7* polearm, is already maxed at 30/30 without them...

How many lifesiphons are needed? 2 or 3 at rank 3+?

My locke has the throwing relic (mirage Dive), should I look for a dagger/sword for Thief's revenge? Also got Rikku's glove/jecht sword on Yuna's BBSB banner xd

Tidus has Brotherhood/Shield relics too...

Oh wow...Ramza's RM2. Is that what I think it is? A second Ace Striker??! MUST GET!!

Fight was amazingly easy.

Rosetta Stones (and other 5* items) raise the augment rank of an item. Augment rank raises the stat with a little hammer next to it. The cap is separate from the item level.



Depends on your composition. Having up to 4 can sometimes be useful if you have enough SBs to back it up.



Use whatever has the highest attack. Even a dagger can be BiS if it has synergy bonus.

I'm kind of curious about this too, after reading what you said about Rosetta Stone, I went in and decided to try 1 out on my 7* Ultima Sword. It was already capped EXP when I used it. Before it was 137 Attack and after it was still 137 Attack, did I mess something up?

The augment shows in the number "+x" near the stats improved. Its really a small boost, like +1 Stats every augment so non/shared SB can increase up to +10, unique SB can increase +15 and SSB/BSB up to +20. Those stats are affected by RS so it can go higher. For example:



With 4 rosettas, i increase +4 attacks, that change to +6 with RS so total attack is 212+6=218. Its like the ilv gear from FFXI, the numbers are keep separated just to show what portion is from the char/gear and what portion is bonus.

the +1 stat from adding a rosetta stone is seperate from the core stats but still added to your character in the fights.

ex; 7star spear shows 165 atk +15, so your stat increase for atk actually goes up an extra 15 atk. actually not sure why they made it seperate from the actual weapon data, the only thing i can think of is that since augmenting system was added later in the game, it was probably just easier to code it that way.

Saint's Cross is my new favorite thing

Holding out for Meltdown

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeea, hones, get that Life siphon up for Bartz, its a must. Get it to R3 minimum, you wont regret it. 1 SSB has the power of 3-4 abilities, basically a free R2 of a 4* ability in damage.

Get magic breakdown if you havent,Ultimate fight has more magical damage than physical damage. Work on R2 of Magic(priority) and then power. Save save save your lightning/ice for Full break, R2 is your target score, but I would get magic breakdown to R2 and R3 of life siphon before you start investing power orb savings for FB.

Thanks senpai~ I should have enough orbs to do most of that already. I've been sitting on them and just using the bare minimum because I'm a hoarder.

Are Shadow or Seifer worth using? I have Seifer's Coat (Bloodfest) and Shadow's Sasuke (Wild Fang)

Seifer seems like a ***character.. his black magic skill is useless.

Well heres a heads up, youll get roughly 38-39 Major powers from now til Summoning event(June ish). At the end of this month we should be seeing the next Nightmare dungeon hopefully which is combat so a good amount of M.powers should be coming from there, I think at least 7-10.

As far as shadow and Seifer, I dont personally like ninja too much just yet, they seem to be a niche class as in being able to fulfill or beat certain bosses with particular conditions.

That being said, Shadow's SB is a 5,12 mult over 4 hits(1,28 x3) with a 16% chance to sap, honestly not a bad thing, use at your discretion.

Seifer on the other hand, his kit isnt too bad, he has knight 5(Saint Cross says hi) and he will get Dark 5 when that comes out sometime around the 11th of May I think. He has combat 5 and support 3, arguably an underrated character. No MCII is the only issue you will have to face, but will be available sometime in July, but 65 is still manageable and workable. His sb is 4,0 mult over 4 hits( 1,0 x4) and +50% res to all. Damage is decent and the Res inc is very welcomed in a lot of boss fights. The stats on the coat are really nice too.

Ah, time for FFV hell. 30 Elites to work through.

I/II/III/IV are completed though! \o/

Seems we are close to next Daily Dungeons:



If you didnt finish Dailies first time reward, I sugest you to do it asap.

Are they being removed or something?

Edit: Or rewards being replaced?
