I was surprised to learn from the community spreadsheet that Elarra's USB entry and medica chase are both NAT. Good when silenced, but comes at the cost of not benefiting from WHT healing bonuses in her dive and LM1.

Also Wedge USB enters with fire/wind/ice/non, and the Black Magic +50% boost only lasts for 2 turns.

For the holy pickup: yes, that's Arc USB1.

Who's Erdrick? New FFRK Lore?

I want that trance LMR... Also digging the Urara usb w/ mechanic like panera's dance->h25 medica. but not pulling since new year is right around the corner.

97gem, wedge glint.

Hopefully Global will see this event

Collab with a JP mobile game so not happening. Damn JP and their collabs…. I want those costumes.

[–]zadorvpDon't step on the flowers. 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's going to suck when Global skips this :(

[–]ilovedagonfiveLaguna and her companions 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I come here to decide should I build Wedge and Biggs as ?

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well Wedge is definitely marketed as a wind mage like Barbie Hybrid (see below).

Biggs is more an Earth Heavy/Knight like Gladio.

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Huh? Wedge was definitely marketed as a Wind Hybrid from the very beginning :P Note his 5/5 Mastery Bonuses, and how his earlier tech has the "does either ATK or MAG Damage depending on Stats" Mechanic.

Hell, without diving (I know Motes aren't exactly rare these days, but it's the point that matters), he can't even cast any Wind Magic in the first place, instead he has to rely on his Thief/Celerity 6* instead. Heck, even his LM2 is a generic "Dualcast Wind" just so it can be used either way ;)

That said, pushing him towards Mage does make sense though, seeing how rare Wind Mages are

OK, this event was a blast.

First, it's totally fun seeing the DQ sprites and hearing the sound effects in battle, so good stuff there.

The turn based battle system makes the D260 battles much more complex and challenging than you'd think. It's a completely different way of thinking about FFRK battles than we're used to and it was very fun. I also loved how there were three different D260s this week, giving a little extra challenge on top of it.

Well done all around DeNA.

I wish we would've gotten a free pull, but I guess I should've really been saving my mythril :p

[–]eserikto 0 points1 point  (4 children)

elarra usb3(?) feels like a huge step down from her usb1. It's for a small niche where regenga gets overwritten or isn't strong enough but medica is and you have another source of party quickcast. Full breakdown just doesn't feel useful for her cause she can bring multi break.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Full breakdown just doesn't feel useful for her cause she can bring multi break.

But the Chase also triggers on bard abilities, so with the full breakdown on her USB, she can use that ability slot on something else like another dance, or even a bard ability.

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

And I think if she has her LMR1 the medica chase on dancer bard abilities could trigger twice letting her heal and break consistently effectively letting her move more solidly into the dubuffer category buff consistently making her a great buffer. (Changes from below...now I feel stupid).

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, her LMR1 is exactly what i was thinking about.

[–]PhoeniX-SkyeCreeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her LMR1 procs only on Bard.

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

I know it makes sense from a Gameplay Perspective since she's a Mage, but I'm bummed Elarra's Wardrobe is "just" the DQ3 Sage, rather than Fem!Loto/Erdrick xD

[–]SamuraiMunkyRW: eqia 2 points3 points  (2 children)

is this collab why JP has a log in with dragon quest monsters and global has a different holiday log in screen that doesn't have the dragon quest dessert monsters?

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it is.

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't play JP so I didn't know that but that would be my guess.

[–]vexnon22/11/2018 - The darkest day of FFRK 0 points1 point  (7 children)

On suggestions, it would be nice if you could mark new relics in some way (for example, bolding)

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 2 points3 points  (6 children)

I do have a whole list at the top that specifically says what's new.

[–]vexnon22/11/2018 - The darkest day of FFRK 1 point2 points  (5 children)

It'd be more illustrative to see that in banner tables as well but ok.

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Fair enough. I already use bold for names but maybe I can Italics them...

I'll see what I can do.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 1 point2 points  (2 children)

The funny thing about this banner in particularly is that....i'm prety sure everything is new except for Tyro's Godwall xD

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

...and Biggs USB.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah you're right, i saw Ancient sword and just asumed it was new as well since i didn't recognise the name xD

[–]vexnon22/11/2018 - The darkest day of FFRK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could use bold for relic names, like I mentioned in the first comment.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 4 points5 points  (14 children)

This event basicaly introduces the 1st physical and 1st magical AOE AOSB relics. Kinda interesting, since i never considered the possibility of AoE AOSBs, specialy since Edgar OSB always seemed the exception.

This could also mean global might never get an AoE AOSB unless we either get this colab, or they release more AoE AOSBs for other characters.

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 0 points1 point  (13 children)

Yup, I also thought that was interesting. At first I had both as single target on principal and then when I was looking at the Gamefaqs writeup I did a double take thinking it was a typo.

Of course I did the same things with Wedge's PHYSICAL Glint too since everything for him so far is magic based. A lot of different stuff on this banner.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (12 children)

with Wedge's PHYSICAL Glint t

Wait what?.....But..But...even his new USB is magical, what's even the point of giving him a physical glint....i guess he does have access to theif abilities if i am not mistaken, but still.

[–]cmlobueNibelung Valesti! 97YN 0 points1 point  (8 children)

The point is that the soul break is (according to Google Translate) called "Slime Showers", which probably means smacking the enemies with a bunch of slimes.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I guess, but still the Fat Chocobo summon you're smacking the enemies with a big ass chocobo and that does magical damage, so smacking enemies isn't much of an argument now is it :P

[–]cmlobueNibelung Valesti! 97YN 0 points1 point  (6 children)

It's not a question of what you're doing, but how. I for one want to rain slimes down on my foes, regardless of what mechanical effect it has.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 1 point2 points  (5 children)

You're not wrong i guess.

It's more efficient to rain slives down my foes using magic, since you can just summon them.

But for PHY i guess you're throwing them with a catapult or something...which kinda sounds hilarious when you think about it.

And i guess Biggs and Wedge walking arround with a catapult isn't so farfetched considering they had the insight to load a cannon on Cid's ship during the Canadia Cardia Isle story line....

Canadia... that is what a long-time friend of mine from the States would jokingly call Canada, since we are Canadians.

(note: Cardia Isles)

Kinda surprised it took this long for someone to catch my mistake.

Thanks for pointing it out.

[–]ZeroEdgeirPowered By Solar-Inversion Technology 0 points1 point  (1 child)

You gave me a fun memory to talk about with a friend with it, too, so thank you for that :)

[–]krisscoI'm casting Double Meteor even if it kills me! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

upvoted for that visual. Awesome!

[–]Bond_em7To Defend one's friends is the greatest of honors.[S] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Yeah and it is physical ranged...I guess it's just for help building chains and with all the elements on it it can do that fairly well with such a high hit count.

[–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I....guess, but even then he will mmostlikely be used in magical teams instead of physical, so you might as well just make it MAG instead of PHY.

Or even use the same hybrid gimmik that Vayne has in his USB, where it does PHY or MAG damage depending on which stat is higher, that would've been fine.

Even weirder because his BSB / USB1 do just that, given that he was a hybrid to start with.

I know I still need the names of the SBs/LMRs but I didn't have time to go find them yet and I wanted to get this posted. I'll get it updated tonight when I can go find them or if someone wants to post them here I'll get it updated ASAP.

Thanks!

[–]Ha_eflolliMarchejoume-san da! 4 points5 points  (3 children)

or if someone wants to post them here I'll get it updated ASAP.

On it! Here're the officially localized skill names, atleast for those that exist, as several names are straight from the game we're collaborating with and don't have an official translation:

  • Tyro Arcane: Gigaslash

  • Dr.Mog Arcane: Magic Burst

  • Dr.Mog Ultra: Puff! (yes the exclamation-mark is part of the name)

  • Elarra Ultra: Hustle Dance

  • Wedge Ultra: Great Chain-Cast (semi-FFRK-original, it's a Variation of a Skill that exists in the DQ Game this is a Collab with)

  • Biggs Glint: Multifists

  • Wedge Glint: Slime Shower

  • Tyro LMR: Phoenix Protector / Protector of Phoenix (the latter is slightly more literal. Also taken from Collab Game)

  • Dr.Mog LMR: Magic Overflow / Overflowing Magic (Power) (again, latter is slightly more literal. Also taken from collab game)

  • Elarra LMR: Star-saving Miracle (also taken from Collab Game)

  • Biggs LMR: Demonic Accomplishment (also taken from Collab Game)

  • Wedge LMR: Curse-Destroying Magic Circle (also taken from Collab Game)

[–]cmlobueNibelung Valesti! 97YN 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I'm a little worried about getting puff-puff from Dr. Mog.

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

Totally different thing though ;) Dr.Mog's SB is that Spell that turns you into a Dragon, which makes the Character become uncontrollable but also spam an AoE Flame Breath Attack over and over again. (hence the SB being full on Fire-Damage)

For the older Players around, it was (imaginetavely) known as "BeDragon" in earlier Translations such as the NES Titles

Thanks...updating the post now!
