FINAL FANTASY Record Keeper

Im interested for that bow because:

1. Its stronger than Full Break;
2. Last longer than Full Break;
3. You can save the orbs of Full Break;
4. You can save the ability slot of Full Break.

But the cons would be:

1. Fran cant use Lifesiphon (though if shes hurting for SB charge, she can use wrath though thats a dps loss);
2. Ramza Shout (if you have it...) reduces its effectiveness as in theory you will have 2 suport role chars in same party, so most of time Ramza will be in party and Fran sitting on bench.
3. Single Target;
4. Faris can do the same thing than Fran with her BSB, though it will take a long time till Faris BSB (months) is released while Fran SSB should be around this month. Anyway, thats a good reason to not to chase Fran SSB, aside that bow will come back several times, including BSB fest.

Cool, good to know. Thanks! Where do you guys get your upcoming banner/event list from?

http://bantha.org/%7Edscotton/ffrk.html

Are we getting banner 122? The reason I ask is because The realm synergy icon looks different than a normal event.

99% chance that we won't. It was a special event (Collab) and we haven't gotten a single one of those yet, they have all been JP only (we've missed 6 or 7 so far with 2 or 3 more coming). Probably go straight from Basch into Edea

That event is also the one that gave JP Faris' MCII, so if we get that on time it will be HoR only

Ugh, that sucks. I needed more Bartz in my life.

A KH collab would be neat... I wonder if its possible.
Edit: probably not. I doubt Disney would allow it.

TBH now that I have Ramza SSB I don't really get the hype. If you have a native wall I would think you could easily use it as a RW without having to put Ramza in your party for it.

That's the general rule of thumb, works the other way around as well. Though Ramza's stats are slightly better than tyro's without losing a support slot.

SSB Ramza has made my party much more efficient. And He's a stronger character then anyone else that was slotted in before him, so my team saw a direct upgrade with his inclusion.

Well, got 50 mythril and pulled. lolchameleon robe, I guess my group is stuck with lolflamesofwar.

before i Pulled SG, I needed at least one or the other to get by, now that i have SG shout will be my native rw so it works.

honestly i want agrias relics more than anything. Agrias is bae.

For like Boostga or SG does the level of your RW matter? Like, does a level 80 Tyro's SG last longer than a level 50's?

25 seconds on boostga, 20 seconds on haste +1 second per 40 mind

From reddit, not sure on its credibility.

Not sure on SG/SS2

Wall and Boostga are independent of all stats, so nope.

Also re: natural Shout being underwhelming, there's something to be said about the flexibility of the RW slot if you have both a wall and shout naturally. Being able to slot in a powerful medica or damage LB without having to worry about sacrificing something in the process is an immense amount of freedom and will be very beneficial starting with the first U+ battle in Vincent's event. The fact that it's attached to easily the strongest support character for basically ever is also a critical factor, and if you manage to draw Fran's bow Fran+Ramza support team is really scary to think about.

Ty :)

Need a bit of help :P

Got Cloud Locke and Tyro unlocked to 80, with Locke's Mirage Dive, Yuna's Hymn Faith (65) Tidus (65) Spinning Dive and his shield, and pulled Garnet's Wizard Rod and Cid's Hyper Jump polearm (3x) lately...Started honing 2x Lifesiphons (R2 atm), Ruinga, Protectga/Shellga, Steal Power, Tempo Flurry and such...

Can I fit Cid in there with his 7* polearm? Haven't got any walls so I need them as RW...Anything else I should work/hone for now? Pulling hard on Yuna's Tiny Bee banner and FFT banner as well too

Locke/Tidus/Cloud - Locke is probably the best of the three because of Steal Power.
Cid - Damage and versatility. Machinist is good for debuffs, dragoon is good for elemental weakness exploitation.
Tyro - Breakdowns. Literally anyone with Support 4 will likely outperform him in this capacity, though.
Garnet - Hastega/Shell/Regen
Yuna - Medica/Regen

Seems like a solid composition.

So have Tyro handle Full break/Magic breakdown and have Locke/Cid with Lifesiphons Steal Power(Locke) and whatever debuff is needed for elemental mastery with Cid?

Do ppl still use the advantaliate meta? I would have to RW that too if it's the case :(

And if I wanna do mage meta, think I got the Double Cast staff and a few blm unlocked to 65 if I'm not mistaken, barring honing some -ajas, need more specific spells?

i really wouldn't bother with mage meta unless you have some high hones with 5star magic and good sb's for them, shout meta is here to stay for a while.

if you are doing pulls, i would give up on splitting myth on tiny bee and just whale for plat sword, even with the shitty drop rates, if you do get it you literally just won the game because you can still rw wall and have native shout lol.

this is coming from someone who owns tiny bee btw, it's really not a game changer like native shout/wall is


edit- also if you get ramza or agrias sb's from the event, both get their mc2's this event with Bonus battles. as long as you get one of their sb's you could happily fit them in your team, no need for 2 healers, if they have major regen sb's.

ideally you wanna pull plat sword and keep yuna for hym medica and major regen

if you don't pull plat or have native shout use garnet as main heal so you can have native hastega and rw wall.

Advantaliate is only useful for people that dont have many hones, strong SBs or SSBs and no decent realm synergy. Once you start accumulating better relics/sbs/buffs/debuffs and better hones you will want to push past advantaliate meta. There are still a few fights that advance meta cheeses(sky dragon) but thats just all it is, cheese strat.
Well mob resistance is going to start spiking up in the next upcoming months and youre going to start seeing 1k-2k high res U/U+ fights. Which means anything under 9.0 mult(-Jas Meteor etc) wont cut it anymore outside of high magic buffs with weakness.

I would suggest working on waterja(R3 minimal, R4 suggested) first, easier to hone over the other jas, faster cast time, less bosses that resist water. Next ja after should be a weakness that you know you will see a lot in the upcoming months to maximize your efforts.

Meteor R3/Ruinga R3 are great(AoE 9/5.9 mults respectively)

Make sure to save some of your dark orbs and black orbs for dark zone/memori for any mage you have with darkness, should be coming out in a month or month in a half.

Physical meta is the normal one now, but it does require you to have certain relics. If you don't have native wall, native shout, or some sort of good native Attack buff you likely will find yourself having an extremely hard time. Until I pulled my first Attack Buff, Mage was just simply better for me. I used hybrid parties a lot back then too, one melee character with a good SSB + 2 mages + 1 support + healer.

I got Platinum Sword on a single pull!

Well, took a few attempts but finally down the Eternal Calm ultimate.

67 Sephiroth: R3 Lifesiphon / R4 Double Cut / Black Materia / Ace Striker
63 Rikku: R1 Thief's Revenge / R4 Tempo Flurry / Default / Hold the Line
50 Ramza: R2 Lifesiphon / R2 Armour Breakdown / Tailwind / Mako's Might
65 Lenna: R4 Curaga / R2 Shellga / Flames of War / Dr. Mog's Teachings
65 Tyro: R3 Dispel / R4 Blindga / Stormlance Grimoire / High Scorer
RW: Sentinel Grimoire

Managed to burn through Logos before I ran outta defensive buffs and slowly plinked Ormi into the ground afterwards >>; Lost Ramza on the third last action before death but I'll take the mastery win.

That RNG is more annoying than hard for the fight >>;

I think at a rate of like maybe 2 Major Wind Orbs every Thursday I might be able to R3 Thief's Raid in 4 months.

You can farm GWO in dungeons in the other dungeons. Probably can hone in 2 months.

Regardless, this is the biggest flaw in this game:

Having +2 uses definitivelly isnt a motivating goal to farm for 4 months. Personally i dont bother much with orbs already for some months bar orbfest. During the week i mainly farm exp to keep all my char lv capped, and that became easier since DeNA improved exp/stamina in event dungeon. But not rare i even skipped playing if there were no new dungeon available.

Definitivelly pursuing a goal like that will burn up the game for you. Definitivelly not worth the effort.

Yay, I got Agrias' shield from a single pull, lol. Now I have 2 situational knight users. Steiner for AoE, Agrias for single target.
If I could get Agrias sword I could bench Steiner from pretty much everything except AoE FF9 fights. But, I don't see that happening, lol.

Any suggestions how to integrate Tyro and Ramza in my team? Or does Tyro(SG) get removed since I have Y'shtola(ss2)?

It would depend on your other relics. Yshtola is a better character but locks up a slot you might need.
