what RM do people use on their Healer? I am stuck using Penello for native Medica, but she is a bit lacking. =/
Depends on if they have a SB. Mako Might if they have a good SB. Haste RM if they're healing is high because of equipment and realm synergy, or Oath of Tycoon if I feel their cure is lacking due to equipment and level.

So, my favorite thing about having so many BSSB's available in the JP version, is that you can see potential team synergy coming up in Global.

Squall BSSB -> Fang BSSB -> spam wind elemental attack exploit wind imperil.

Bartz BSSB -> Rikku BSSB -> spam water elemental attack to exploit water imperil.

It's pretty interesting that we have the original ++++++++ battles in at the event start now, not that it makes much difference but it's nice to get new skills/hones earlier.

I have a hard time recalling but it looks like they've lowered the difficulty rating by 10 for each of them?

Healer RMs: Salve (Ramza 1), Black Mage's Awakening (Vivi 3) if I'm using a staff/rod that grabts a lot of Magic, Thief's Code (Zidane 1), or Summoner's Prayer (Yuna 2). I don't yet have Mako Might and my Dr. Mog is perma-affixed to Ramza.

The event so far was super easy, but I'm scared of the u+ because I have to work to beat regular Ultimates. I only have 2/3s trinity, but thankfully a lot of Wall on my FL.

Should I try to pull for Valiant knife since my Locke is on his way to 80? Or save mythrils for the future like the half-price whm banner and Basch/BSSB/Orbfest? Still lack wall and shout on my setup and my hones ain't ready for heavy stuff past 99...Working on the basics and farming dailys/stamina and levelling some peeps to 50 for some useful RM.

Just got the RM for Cloud from Jenova Rebirth, so now I'm trying to get Mako Might to drop. This will be my first SUPER USEFUL RM, so I'm kinda excited. Should it go straight on Cloud since I have Fenrir Overdrive, or perhaps my healer (Selphie) who has Trabia's Light SB (AOE Curaga)?

I keep MM on Cloud because I also have Fenrir Overdrive. by the time I am to a boss in a normal level, Cloud has 2 uses of it ready to go for the boss, and on Boss levels, he has it ready to go and only a few Lifesiphons will have it ready to go again. coupled with Shout, it is a massive amount of physical damage up front. my "Medica" comes from Penello, which is probably half as strong as a RW from Yshtola would be, but if you HAVE a good AoE Heal, then that wouldn't be a bad use for it, depending on what you are fighting.

I don't have Lifesiphon yet, but that does sound like a good strategy, tacking it onto Cloud since I have Fenrir Overdrive. Right now he's using the RM that increases dmg if wielding a sword.

if you don't put it on Cloud, work towards Ace Striker from Tidus ASAP.

Is the trinity really necessary? I currently have Y'shtola as my wall but have the option of using Tyro instead while using Selphie medica.

Necessary? Probably not. Helpful? Definitely. You can later mitigation effects to reduce damage to a reasonable point without a wall, I've found, but most of the higher level stuff I've done virtually requires either an AoE heal or two healers, which cuts your DPS if they're not set up for more than just healing...which hurts medals via actions and thus threatens your mastery when you're almost guaranteed to lose 2 medals for damage taken.

I have two base parties I generally use- one full out mage using Vivi, Garnet, Quistis, Yuna, and Eiko..and my physical team using P. Cecil, Gilgamesh, Yuna, Tidus, and Ramza. Both parties have their benefits, but unless I get lucky on my RW I don't get a Faithga effect. This means melee deals more, but Team Summoner lives longer.

tl;dr: no, you don't NEED trinity but it's useful

I can say that wall is the most important of all SB. Hastega is a QoL SB as you can always just cast haste individually. Its a dps loss but it doesnt mean lack of hastega means lack of haste. And AoE cura use is inversally proportional of wall use. If you have good mitigationm hardly need AoE cura so far. I cant say anything above U, but definitively I just needed AoE cura against Beatrix. Anything else, with proper mitigation, Curaja is enough.

The golden rule is to always have multiple goals. For example, its worth pulling JUST for Valiant Knife? The answer is no. But its worth pulling for Valiant Knife, Relm or Shadow SSB? Defnitivelly yes, as it will means 33% chance to get anything worth in a 11-pull.

Lucky draw banners are worth mostly because of half price. And celebration banners are just worth due to having multiple goals. But if a nin-celebration banner also has multiple relics, its the same thing.

Seriously whats with the Sleep "target" requirements for the Ex+ battles. They could at least give us a sleep machinist skill.

On a brighter note just finished the ex battles. R2 Saint Cross mine!

Welp, Global is getting a lucky banner with the Combat nightmare dungeon. JP didn't get that, so we finally get something cool I guess? Makes 2 or 3 Global exclusive things vs JP's dozen or so. Catching up!!

2 - 2 1/2 days, if what I read earlier was correct.


Trying to farm up Luneth's Haste RM and Cloud's Mako Might, but they refuse to drop. Neither of them specify in a specific realm, so I assume they can drop anywhere?
