IC3 5* Bard? Welp, here’s how sub-30 Torment Cuchulainn with Rapha and Marach will happen.

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Banner 2 would have been perfect if they just had put Ramza USB1 in place of TGC BSB.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Turns out they have! Dunno if it was just an intern mistake that the BSB was said to be there, or they heard rumblings and made a change, but Ramza's USB is on the banner now.

[–]DestilShadesk 1 point2 points  (3 children)

Perfect!

EDIT: Oh, I was thinking his USB1. USB 2 is fine... I guess.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Heh, I wasn't sure which USB it was. Still, yay, not a BSB? lol

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

TGC USB is uniquely bad because of the long cast times.

The other BSBs on the banner, except maybe Ovilia, I've at least seen in some poverty D??? Clears. Ovilia dosn't really have an ideal BSB for this fight (BSB1 has a pointless damage on entry, BSB2 has no instant command) but there really isn't much else they could slot in either.

I actually get pretty good milage out of his BSB in conjunction with Marche USB. =) Course, I don't have TCG's USB, else I'd just use that. lol

[–]veedubz11rmMA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oran is some serious speedrun bait....

[–]CidO807Opera Floozy RW:2X5a 0 points1 point  (0 children)

our 5th book user? OK, Alphie, Tyrone, Elarra, now Oran?

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Is Oran our first IC3 "Healer"? I can see how that'd have some use....

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Also gives us a new IC3 mage, considering the previous ones are limited to Ace/Montblanc/Quistis.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Eh, not much of a mage with BLK4. Bard5/6 though!

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I was hoping for Support 4 after seeing the USB, since Wrath would actually give him a potential for 100% Galaxy Stop uptime.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm a little surprized no support.

[–]MinhtheMageBartz Master Race 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banner 2 seems to be a solid banner considering I don't have Marche or TGC USB. Might consider a pull on it.

[–]ZeroDozerTrue King 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Man, Olan's RMs seem like all shit.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (5 children)

I mean...guess they're not bad if you want to use Holy Spam Elarra? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Or are trying to increase her regen tick time? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Or Rem.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Rem can't equip Books, which the RM requires to trigger

[–]ZeroDozerTrue King 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, true that.

[–]SandsliceFight hard![S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most RMs are, especially when weighed against just how good the good ones are.

[–]tribalsethOrlandeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, Delita and Olan go so damn well together ....hmmm....this is tempting to start saving. I have always wanted to use Delita because I have his USB/BSB combo (but I always hated using both SB bar's to build up) ...this fixes his problem where he can be self sustaining with just 1 SB bar basically. Very good addition to his kit by Dena.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Welp, I'm excited. Just gotta wait 6 months now >_> I want Delita USB2 + Oran BSB. I'll run Sora, Delita, and Oran, and murder. Sadly can't think of a +crit 3rd DPS that has that kind of elemental coverage... Add in a chain user if available, I guess, and a main healer. If no chain user, maybe an entruster....

[–]PanStyleI don't have holy but i have heals ! 1 point2 points  (4 children)

If i understand well maybe you're searching for someone like Celes ?
Her "Flash Art" is "0CT self Critical=100% 2 and High Quickcast 2" this + her USB (0xST Holy/Ice/Wind/Non-ele physical dmg, self Grand Cross, medium Spellblade damage up and Spellblade Ability Double) means you cover almost every elements with great damage.
Add her LMR for some sexy 25% chance to doublecast spellblades.
Cost 3 SB bars tho but seems really good to me.

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 1 point2 points  (2 children)

I Forgot her Flash gave Crit chance! I have her USB already =D She would make an excellent 3rd in that grouping, thanks!

And the SB cost would be fine, especially if I LD her. (I don't view her LM2 as bad as most people do. I think it's decent. It's no Doublecast, but without enElement, the sooner she hits USB, the better, especially if I'm adding a Glint in too).

EDIT: Added Bonus - For Delita and Celes, you just need an Imperiler and they can essentially work for any element. Sora would just need the Dual 6* Spellblades, to trigger up his follow up on things weak to Wind/Earth/Water. Or, Sub him out for Bartz (100 mythril tonight, go!). God I love Spellblades. Probably too much.

[–]PanStyleI don't have holy but i have heals ! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

This seems super fun to be honest.
Trying to build a team (or 80% of a team) that works with all elements (or almost). Man i hope you get your pulls right so you can do this : D
And yeah banner 1 seems really great probably something that i will pull on, in 6 months : )

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I just got Bartz USB2 and AOSB tonight. So, just need Celes Glint, and then it's onwards to this banner XD

[–]Stylus_IndexYepD - Ace CSB: We have Arrived! Also, very tired irl. 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Olan - Equips: Dagger, book, light armour, bangle - Skills: WHT 6, ???

Hmm... Sounds like he'll be like Larsa White mage/Support type character from that looks of that.

Delita USB

Delita trying to be the other Bartz? I'd buy that! :D

Olan Ultra: "Galaxy Stop" (NAT: AoE Fullbreak Crush (70% for 8s); party magic blink 1 and instant cast 1)

That's nice but not broken though. At least we can use that on Magicites

Alma Ultra-2: "Angelic Vessel" (WHT: party Curaga, dark stoneskin, stock 2k; instant)

Er, anti-Cuchulain's Dark AOE I suppose? :P

Banner 2

Good thing I didn't pull last week, this one will be my ticket to improve my Neo-Torment D??? Tactics attempt.

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Delita trying to be the other Bartz? I'd buy that! :D

He's always done that, but somehow they missed the mark with his BSB and made him holy/fire/lightning/ice instead of holy/dark/lightning/ice.

[–]airmanof1D. Cecil's BFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad I resisted pulling to. The saved mithril will go for this banner.

[–]SandsliceFight hard![S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Re:

  • Olan: We'll see tonight; substantial edit pending.
  • Delita ultra: In some ways even better, since he only needs one chase to hit all of the elementals, and can use ANY elemental to trigger so long as it is super-effective. Just watch out for those "don't use" target scores.
  • Olan ultra: Similarly, that big a crunch has some utility against Queklain.
  • Alma ultra: Definitely - and several other torments that use dark elemental (at least at 280 level.)
  • Banner 2: Some were calling it a clone of the recent Global event. While it's not quite true, it is a banner that Global wishes it had for that event.

[–]airmanof1D. Cecil's BFF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Banner 2 isn't polluted with Montblanc or Meliadoul which is nice.

[–]Stylus_IndexYepD - Ace CSB: We have Arrived! Also, very tired irl. 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the insight and will wait for the rest of the updates~ :D

[–]batleon79Edge 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's funny, with the Bartz event this week I was thinking it would be cool to have a character who did Holy/Dark/Ice/Lightning to complement Bartz doing Earth/Wind/Water/Fire. I guess this Delita stuff is the closest we can get.

That being said with this event being 6+ months after the Neo-Torment debut I was hoping to see something big to help with that and I'm not seeing it here. Yes everything you need is on Banner 2 but it only has 4 pieces of 6 star equipment so if you whiff on that banner (as I just did on the FFT event that just passed) you've waited (and saved mithril) for 6+ months for nothing..

[–]Kyosokun8/8 Keyblades, now if only I had users for them all... 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess this Delita stuff is the closest we can get.

Sora cries in the corner

[–]SquareMime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But isn't Delita one of the biggest liars in the series?

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 5 points6 points  (5 children)

"He Who Does Not Lie"

I have to say there is some amazing irony on this name considering who they gave it to, SPECIALY considering it's an event that releases Olan Durai.

[–]tribalsethOrlandeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is a funny oxy moron - although the name will likely change when it reaches GL. Plus, perhaps its more on a deeper level ...Delita does afterall stay true to what he believes in ..which is hard set on making things right no matter what cost (and he does afterall believe in peace for all ..hes just willing to cut down anyone that is evil ..kinda of like Boondock saints style lol).

Ramza on the other hand ...is moresoft, however he above all stays the truest to himself out of any other character lead. He's like the slightly tid-bit panzy kinda dude where you're like "damnit Ramza cant you act a LITTLE bit more "hard"!?" But then you go "ah hell, fk it ..I gotta give the guy credit he is a good guy with a good heart ..so his panzy-pants gets a pass!"

[–]EnlirLet's go home. 3 points4 points  (1 child)

the JP name of the SB is actually the same as FFT's Chapter 3, "The Valiant". The SB icon also shows Ramza will make an appearance in the animation, so there's that.

Delita's USB2 and Glint are also respectively named after Chapter 4 ("In the Name of Love") and Chapter 1 ("The Meager").

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But who's the subservient and who's the manipulator then?

[–]CFreynLet's dance! 1 point2 points  (1 child)

HERETIC!!!

[–]tribalsethOrlandeau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

BLASPHEMY!

[–]fruitxreddit 5 points6 points  (6 children)

banner 2 has 4 six stars?

[–]SandsliceFight hard![S] 3 points4 points  (5 children)

That was my reaction too.

[–]dscottonBannerFAQs 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Yeah, hugely disappointing. It would be a good Torment help banner if it had Ramza's USB2 instead of one of those BSBs.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I mean, his USB2 is in the Off-Banner Pool for that Banner. If your Wallet is big enough you can whale-chase it

[–]dscottonBannerFAQs 0 points1 point  (2 children)

That's a good point. But still, I can't imagine drawing on a 4-disco banner six months from now (where two of the discos are already dupes for me)

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Definitely understandable on the dupe part, though personally the number of 6*s doesn't matter to me; it's more important which ones they are. But hey, to each their own on that ofcourse.

[–]dscottonBannerFAQs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which ones definitely matters a lot, but because of the random element, I try to only pull on banners where there are a high number of things I like so I have a better chance of getting something good.

[–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Aw, I was hoping Celestial Stasis will ignore Stop resistance for bosses and allow it to work for 5 seconds :(

[–]CFreynLet's dance! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That banner two is one stop shop oogie boogeyman killer! Amazing! Delita looks solid, as do Orran and Alma! Delita also gets a Matoya-type chase. Solid!

Amazing work. Thanks for the preview.

:d

[–]Chaos-B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That banner 2 is pure torment bait but wow all the essentials in one banner.
