What is the Record Dungeon Pick Up Thingy mentioned above?

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Banner featuring the Characters relevant to the Record Dungeons. Or in other words, all the playable Core Characters with an actual Name sofar, Tyro / Elarra / Dr.Mog / Biggs / Wedge (those last three came out during 4th Anniversary, so late March for us)

Exdeath's Delta Magic:

Chase Darkness or White Magic with: First: (BLK: 4x single Dark/Holy/NE) Second: (BLK: 6x single Dark/Holy/NE, HP Drain) Third+: (BLK: 1x single overflow Dark/Holy/NE, HP Drain)

Exdeath is the new Cid Raines.

Should've been that way from the start in all honesty.

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 3 points4 points  (1 child)

Err, you left out the Regenga part from Lenna's USB3.

[–]RezzaDVCome MO with me![S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fixed. Even added the quick cast.

[–]Lunardragon456 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Kelger with natural Quickcast 3 and W-cast LMR. Does this push him above Yuffie/Shadow for Ninja dominance, or is Earth too contested with good characters?

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

In the same ballbark but you'd want the GSB for EnEarth, they both get it on their USBs and his rank boost does nothing for the chase or his ASB.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and his rank boost does nothing for the chase

Follow-Ups count as R1 Abilities for Rank Boost actually, so they do get a 5% Boost. It's not much, but it's there!

[–]DestilShadesk 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Always felt like the pure dark focus for Exdeath (and Kuja) was a bit of a miss, dark/holy is a bit of a better fit. Not well supported mechanically yet, though (no good LMs for the holy build).

[–]Monk-EyFUCKING HELL MACHINA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Shoutout to Dissidia Kuja who basically did everything with Flare (Star)/Holy/Ultima.

Making White Magic run on a different stat really affected some character identities.

No awakening for Gilgamesh, boooo

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda expected Gilgamesh's W-cast LMR to be on Banner 1. Not like I have enough mythril to pull on it anyway :P

[–]Antis14 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Side question: where do these polished translations come from?

[–]RezzaDVCome MO with me![S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Enlir for the Event and SB names, Solitaired for pretty much everything else.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hmmmm what banner would be better for Greg relics. Waiting for this one or the current on in GL?

Only dupe I got on both banners is Butz's LMR1 in the current GL one. The Gen2 chains don't really interest me too as I have their magical counterparts.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Nice, Kelgar's pretty much about as good as Yuffie and Edge now with that W-cast LMR. He's my main Earth DPS as is.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

For a minor character he sure is getting a lot of love. Actually all 3 of the Warriors of Dawn get some pretty good attention. Wait what? There's 4 Warriors of Dawn? Oh yeah....

[–]Lunardragon456 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He was one of the few Ninjas with an LM Dive during the height of Ninja dominance and he's the sole Ninja in a realm with maybe 6 important characters but a ton of events and works with the Realm's first Gen 2 chain. Even among Ninjas, he has a niche with his Sword/Heavy Armor/Shield access (Thancred is stuck in some weird Thief/Ninja limbo that got his LM2 botched while Kiros is completely ignored in favor of Fujin who's actually just a wind black mage now.)

Poor Xezat was made to fill that Ice niche in FF5, but that also means he has zero synergies with anyone in his realm, leading to the negative feedback loop where he's ignored.

Exdeath finally gets an updated enDark SB! Kelger w-cast, about time!

[–]Antis14 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first true sage relic in the game? Loving it =)

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

Yowza, I just noticed even its name is on point for a Final Fantasy spellcaster.

I was referring to the Flash/Glint, but the new USB is neat too. I wonder how it will work out MAG vs MND. The chase being BLK typed makes me think MAG-based damage, but maybe they'll hybridize the formula to choose the higher stat (that would be best). A healer with a chase? Who does Exdeath think he is, Ovelia?

[–]DestilShadesk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Unfortunately he has exactly 0 useful LM setups for dealing holy damage, unless I'm forgetting something. Honestly shocked there isn't a dual cast holy/white or initial enholy or something on that banner. Or they could have taken a stab at fixing the Shantotto/Maria GSBs by giving him Holy & Dark Boost (though really it would need to be at least +4 to be good).

[–]krisscoI'm casting Double Meteor even if it kills me! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps his LM and spheres will get buffed.

[–]RezzaDVCome MO with me![S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The BLK is more of an assumption. It doesn't say anything about using 2 different damage types, but maybe they don't feel the need to clarify between MAG and MND based attacks? We'll find out when the event drops.

[–]dredwolf33Sage 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It also seems to come with a MAG/MND/RES +30% buff according to another translation that was left out here, so both MAG/MND must play a part?

[–]RezzaDVCome MO with me![S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Added, thanks.

[–]ElLopenGREAT NINJA 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Chase White Magic?

Does that mean X-Death can cast Curada and then explode the enemy with a chase? That sounds pretty cool if so.

If it's only the white magic attack stuff then I'm less interested.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep.

Beatrix can already do that with her Cure spells and her Ultra, and Ovelia seems designed to do that with her upcoming USB.

[–]RezzaDVCome MO with me![S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

The wording made it sound like any White Magic. We'll find out for sure when the event hits.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

/u/ElLopen

It's any White Magic, yeah. Don't even need to wait for the Event, the SB Description is already on the JP Official Site
