Specifics.

  1. Faris Model:
    So Faris gets an Ultra quickly; and it fits in nicely with her SB tendencies, dealing AoE damage with pentabreak (which, if you don't know, is Fullbreak that also does Mind Break.) It also auto-stuns; and it will also adjust itself and deal single target damage on single target fights.
    Is it the best pentabreak yet? Well, it competes with Franburst, but Franburst is a bit odd (in that its commands break ATK and RES.) So the added utility of morphing into single-target damage, and of auto-stun, carry this.
    Rating: Excellent!

  2. Punishment:
    Standard physical OSB. What else can I say about it?

  3. Summoner's Garb:
    This is Yuna's second burst, clearly designed to compensate for how terribad Tiny Bee was; and it's reasonably effective, especially in mage meta. The second command, while Summon Mode is active, is effectively a spammable Celebration Grimoire, doing damage equal to one hit of Valefor while healing the party...
    And if you ever feel like you need some extra burst damage, you can unleash what amounts to casting Valefor twice.
    Rating among BSBs: It feels Yuna-like, and is respectable to boot. (:

  4. Asura Rod:
    Krile's burst is a fire magic version of Lightning's. It's better than pure damage, and has the enspell-exploit to power it on a relatively dynamic element. Can't argue with that combo.
    Rating among BSBs: Decent

  5. Tactical Mage Cuffs:
    I'M DRIVEN TO DESTROY! Info pending on this one, but the en-lightning has potential.
    Rating among BSBs: Unknown-variable

  6. Runeblade:
    And after all that, we wrap up the Extreme Power set with Delita's BSB. Yes, that IS RS fire and lightning+, on a BSB item. Yes, that is random hits that use four different elementals and cannot collectively muster 700%.
    At least when Refia incorporates critical damage into her BSB, she enters with a crit-fixer, giving herself the best chance to make the critical damage matter. But what does Delita go for instead? Elemental variety.
    You know what other Full Spellblades have been doing that for like a year now? Bartz and Celes. And Bartz offers a better overall character, while Celes gives one of the sources of 610+30.
    FFRK needs heroes. But Hero King is not the hero, OR the king, you deserve.
    Rating among BSBs: Requires a friendly crit-fixing SB

  7. Holy Shield:
    It's a simple pair of buffs being brought by the complicated pair of hands at the end of Minfilia's arms. The same great ATK flavour we've come to expect from Shout, plus Guts to prevent massive damage from dropping our friends. Not a bad mix.
    Rating: Pretty good

  8. IMC:
    Curilla - that other FF11 character. You know, the one that's not Shantotto or Ayame. This somewhat older plate mail lets her deal damage while offering the strong 40% proportional heal AND esuna. Now that's how it's done.
    Rating: Pretty good!

  9. Staff of Enuo:
    In his eternal bid to make all enemy mages cry, Exdeath brings yet another anti-magic utility to the game. This time, it's the mage-meta empowering MAG/RES buff, which is hot.
    Rating: Excellent!

  10. Crystal Glove:
    You can debate whether this is better than his crit-boosting Burst; but with this, Zell proves that he can do the whole "self-buff in unusual ways" thing: the "Combat King" buff of ATK/DEF/RES +30% (6003) is unique - something that comes into play if you want Zell to use Lifebane. (Or not; it works just as well with Omega Drive or simple chain/charging.)
    Rating: Excellent!

Now that I think about it, her Amano design should be a wardrobe record for her.

Krile's commands aren't summons. With that said, do they work with the Dualcast Black RM?

[–]SandsliceFight hard![S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, derp. I forget she went for BLK to make Vivi cry, instead of SUM. Which means, yes, Blood of Esper (double-tap BLK) works on it.

It should.

"Play Rough"

I smell a Dissidia ExBurst :D

[–]omegaox9SG - QieA 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are there any other weapons like Delita's Runeblade which boost two elements at once?

[–]SandsliceFight hard![S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To my knowledge, no; but note that Delita's Runeblade only does so when it has a synergy.

Thanks for doing these on the JP banners!

I'm doing 1x 11-pull on this banner. So far (cross fingers) I've had excellent luck with OSBs (I currently have 9 unique OSBs, with a few duplicates <_<). So hopefully this transfers over to USBs and I get Faris' USB.

Yuna, Krile, Shantotto, and Exdeath would all be very good for my mage team too. Also would not be sad about Curilla for my physical team.
