Hmmm to pull on Kaiser Shield on banner 1 or on Platinum Shield on banner 2...have native wall but can only do up to content 120 atm...
the shield has + lightning damage % on it. if you have an offensive soulbreak like lightning's SSB, or a boss weak to thunder, it's beyond godlike since agrias can use spellblades.
is there any benefit to the Burst weapon for Ramza? he seems to mostly just be a Shout machine. =/
from /r/FFRK's sandslice, resident relic analyzer:
Iga Blade:
As we saw with Garnet and Vaan bursts, DeNA have started ramping up the visuals on BSB entries more; and that is the highlight of Ramza's addition to the set. It's glorious, especially if you've played the War of the Lions version (which, personally, I haven't.) As for the game functions, the entry has a surprisingly beefy DEF bump along with Holy AoE. The first command is Banishing Strike as a two-hit combo.
The second command, though, is a bit controversial, for most of the same reasons Entrust is: you're exchanging your turn (and whatever you could have done with it) for pushing someone closer to the next SB. If there were a W-Support RM, this would have more potential; but such a thing doesn't exist yet.
Rating among BSBs: Awkward
It's not Yuna BSB1 tier, but it's not especially exciting with Gilgamesh's as close as it is. Plus, it's competing with much better Ramza SB options.
Recurrence: Orlandu 2
Personally, I like Hallowed Bolt because it deals a solid amount of damage, and Silence has been awesome on fights like Yunalesca. I am not exactly hurting for breakdowns when they are needed (I have Shatterheart and Beryl Serpent for Fran & Faris respectively, plus god knows what else at this point.) Agrias tends to hit decently hard for me under Shout, and is my Dispelling machine when needed. otherwise it's spamming Saint's Cross at/near max damage and hitting Hallowed Bolts for 4-5k per hit, which really only puts her a couple of pegs below Lightning for me.
Hallowed Bolt is aoe 4 hits 6.0 total multiplier and silence.
Cleansing Strike is 3 hits 5.1 total multiplier and atk/mag -50%.
You can bring Faris for Beryl Serpent's Full Break and commands (atk down; mag down) and outfitted with other abilities and have multiple stacking debuffs on good characters and drop Fran entirely for another dps.
I would never bring both Fran and Faris for the same fight anyways, the issue I guess I have is would those debuffs actually stack? with the way that attack buffs don't always play well with Shout (HotE and whatever Basch's shield gives work, but most everything else doesn't), wouldn't one just be overwriting the other? (both Faris and Agrias' SBs)

yeah they run the same status ID. shout, hote and basch shield do not, therefore they can stack. if you have her relics, faris is superior to fran in practically every way anyway.
I have Faris' Burst, but I cannot say I really use her often. I run a melee heavy setup using Cloud, Lightning, Agrias, Ramza, and Celes (because I finally got a good Medica in her). Cloud has both Blade Beam and Fenrir, Lightning has both Crushing Blow and Blaze Rush, Agrias has both Hallowed and Cleansing (now), Ramza has Burst/Shout/Stone. I could in theory use Cleansing over Hallowed, but by the time Agrias is ready to use an SB, the fight is at least half over. maybe if I threw Blitz Ace (or whatever the boost to limit gain is) on her, eschewing the ability that strengthens all Knight type abilities, but generally if I need that I am going to pull out Faris as and slap Dr. Mog's Teachings on her to utterly destroy whatever I am fighting. it's really hard to break my setup right now, because it has worked so thoroughly to complete 95% of what the game throws at me at this point.
I only use hallowed bolt > Cleansing strike if there are multiple bosses (then I opt for the AoE) but any single target boss, I'll value the attack/mag down > the extra damage anytime.
and I wouldn't use it as my sole source of silence either. If it's something I NEED silenced, then I'm going to bring silencega on someone.
That extra mitigation especially later in the fight when the bosses start using their more powerful moves can sometimes be the diff between 1/1 a fight and a handful of s/l's
If you're not at the point where you're on your last ability usage and barely enough damage to kill the boss, go with Cleansing Strike. It's not that much weaker and it will make the fight safer and much less of a headache
Me and my cousin got platinum shield from 100 gem buff draw was hilarious thought I finally got sentinels grimoire finally. Oh well got another item I had my eye on at least.
Started playing a few days ago under the suggestion from a linkshell mate. The game is definitely nostalgic, & I am having a blast. It's for iOS, and Android smartphones and tablets. Currently trying to complete these timed events.
Any one else loving the global release of this game? It's been out in Japan for some time. We finally get in on the goodies
