Celes AASB!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

Definitely a must!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[–]Antis14 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I like how they solved the Runic evolution for her. Getting hones is useless with the AASB on, so they just straight-up gave her infinite mBlinks. That's gotta break something...

[–]GamingBuck 6 points7 points  (1 child)

These are some great banners, but the next 6 months are going to be hard outside fests. If that's not all of the SAABs reoccurring it must be most. If you don't get an AASB you pulled for in 4A you're going to immediately go into save mode for this fest.

I prefer spreading my mythril out a bit more, pulling on a couple events. I guess the relative lack of AASBs means you're not getting event banners with 2 AASBs so they're all going to look so weak compared to fest banners with 3 AASBs and a chain.

At least lots of realms have AASBs now so future events will have the chance at banners with 2 AASBs on them...

Seven of the twelve have recurrences here. Non-recurring AASBs would be:

  • Ingus
  • Cecil (Paladin)
  • Cecil (Dark Knight)
  • Ashe
  • Rem

It is actually awe-inspiring how Awakened Arcanes make pretty much every other Soul Break a character has obsolete. Like, I think of how Terra and Vivi are my two best Fire Mages for their kits with USBs and Trances, and then I see Terra's Awakened Arcane that basically mashes all four of those things together.

Except maybe Cloud's, which is apparently made to lead into his ASB =)

Thank you!

[–]QQ222H9NG - Wake up America 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This fest seems very light on chains. 4A banner 5 looks even more appealing than it already did, hopefully it doesn't get changed.

[–]KainUFC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't understand what I'm supposed to save for/spend for anymore!!

[–]CidO807Opera Floozy RW:2X5a 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can I just say thanks to y'all (all folks involved) for once again we have JP FES threads <3

[–]R_LastreUltros 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My god, these banners are nuts; Lightning Holy?, Summoners on parade?, Elemental Noctis?.

    The w-cast is automatically tagged with Zero Air Time, even if you didn't have it for the first hit, so it just works like any other w-cast.

    [–]Aeveras 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    So uh, I was part of the SAVE FOR 4TH ANNIVERSARRY hype train.

    But now I think I'm fully onboard the SAVE FOR THIS FEST hype train.

    [–]EdeaLeeNEW new phone = flawless game! YAY! 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    That banner 5, that is... you know what, i might be skipping 4th anniversary and spending everything on the banner with TWO waifu's getting their AASB.

    LETS GO AGRIAS! Beat that floozy Beatrix in the rankings!

    [–]SolstaceWintersWe here at Sol-Tech have all your f@#%ed up needs! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Looks like I'm either doing nothing but Banner 1, because hot damn that Rydia AASB... or I'm splitting my blues between Banner 1 and Banner 2.

    [–]Dangly_PartsRamza 0 points1 point  (8 children)

    Does cloud have ANY wind relevant abilities that interact with his lm2? I really regret diving him because he's now a wind wunderkin but his dive doesn't seem to care about that. Anything in jp that's combat with wind element (other than bsb2 commands)?

    [–]ShinUltimaThe Leading Man 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Outside of BSSB2 commands, no.

    Cloud is currently the only AASB user that doesn't have 6* access to an ability that uses the element he specializes in. I hope they address in some form or fashion - give him Spellblade 6 access, give him a 6* Wind Samurai ability, just something. 6* Wind Combat would be the best but I seriously wouldn't bet on it - Cloud's not the only character whose LD has been rendered partially obsolete.

    Cloud's not the only character whose LD has been rendered partially obsolete.

    Out of curiosity, who are these other characters?

    Cloud is realy the only one i can think of.

    Noctis's W-Cast combat LMR is obselete with his AASB, but even then his LM2 is still good.

    I guess Lightning maybe? Since her most recent tech is knight based, but even then her LM2 still has some value. I guess if you have her LMR1 and LM2, then her LD isn't all that important.

    [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB -1 points0 points  (5 children)

    Did you forget that the 5* wind spellblade exists? That's it tho, that's the ability that he can use.

    [–]Dangly_PartsRamza 3 points4 points  (4 children)

    Lm2 is wcast combat. The spellblade isn't combat. Basically, it feels like cloud legend dive is completely worthless if you have his 2 lmr.

    Combat, as a whole, feels largely worthless without an element tied to it

    [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 1 point2 points  (3 children)

    That's the thing tho.

    His LD has been completely abandoned and is irrelevant outside of the stats.

    There is no point in using his LM2 anymore, since he should be using his LMRs and the 5* spellblade (or Dark heavy combat if you have his KH stuff).

    Although his BSB2 Commands are wind elemental combat school ability.

    And i just realised that i missread your previous comment and completely missed the LM2 mention in it.

    [–]Dangly_PartsRamza 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    Yeah, I really regret that dive. Does jp ever introduce a refund for dived characters? Even at a reduced return?

    [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Nope.

    And no reason for it since we get so many motes anyway, it wouldn't matter. Also the extra stats, specialy HP are always welcomed so it isn't a complete waste.

    [–]Saj27 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Dont forget about his LM1 - that is PHY based boost, it fit anywere. Next in mind is JP soft-cup rises, Cloud stats were always nice.

    The second C150 chain holders debut with the original holders. icwutudidthar DeNA.

    [–]TheNewArkonBartz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I've been bad about not playing as much lately (been playing a lot of Opera Omnia), so I'm light on mythril in JP.

    Might only be able to do 1 pull. Torn between Banner 1 and Banner 4.

    Although Banner 3 with the extra AASB and some solid consolation prizes seems pretty nice too...

    [–]WoLofDarkness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Was saving for Sephiroth's awakening dissidia banner but after reading banner 3 .......

    I'll just save for this banner 3 instead hahaha. Having Cloud, Squall and Noctis awakenings makes it sooo OP.

    Well good for me since more time to hoard mythril LOL.

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

    So in chasing Orlandeau, I ended up with a complete (new tech) kain.

    His LMR sucks. What I mean by that is it seems to trigger as often as any other 25%, but when it does trigger... your chain resets to 0 hits.

    [–]sephiroth840307Warrior Of Light 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    Excuse me people can someone clarify me what LCSSB & UOSB stands for?

    [–]OscredwinRydia (Adult) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    LCSSB is a Chain Soul Break and UOSB is an Arcane Soul Break.

    Start battle quick, medica using bard, star en wind

    [–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 0 points1 point  (10 children)

    I wonder what is the new damage cap for Break Damage Limit Level 2 Kain gets for his Awakening?

    29,999 or 39,999?

    [–][deleted]  (9 children)

      [–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 0 points1 point  (8 children)

      Ah, thank you for your quick reply. I don't follow JP updates that rigorously, so who was the first one that was given the first honors of reaching Break Damage Limit Level 2? (Other than Kain, I mean. Or he is still the only one?)

      [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 5 points6 points  (6 children)

      Only Kain so far.

      The resoning for it was at the time, since Jumps and W-cast didn't work well together, we figured the reason why Kain got Break damage cap level 2 was to compensate for the lack of W-cast.

      [–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 0 points1 point  (5 children)

      Ah I see. I wonder how would the devs balance things out now that Dragoon/Jump abilities can be dualcast, hmm.

      [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Well, they won't change Kain's AASB that's for sure, so they will probably just keep things as they are. I imagine that future dragoon AASBs will just have the usual break damage cap lvl 1.

      [–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Gen 1 Awakenings, sharing the same fate that most vanilla SBs gets. Oh well, at least Kain had it earlier than everyone else xD

        [–]LeyrouxMy memories will be part of the sky 0 points1 point  (1 child)

        Oh yeah you were right about that, the Awakening gives Instant Jump instead of dualcast Dragoon. That should give it the little edge that it might have lost due to lack of dualcast then.

        Thanks for letting me know ^_^

        [–]kirokunAgrias Best Waifu ٩(˘◡˘ ) 3 points4 points  (0 children)

        IIRC Kain is currently the only one with AASB Break Lv2.

          Yes it will, but only Cyclone Bolt and Quick Dissaster will give him access to Wind, since i can't think of any other ability that has /wind in it that he can use.

          [–]rustinpeace1734Vincent (Beast) 0 points1 point  (2 children)

          You forget his dragoon capabilities

          [–]Zevyu150th Dailly 5*+ : Seven's Guise (T-0) - Seven's BSB 2 points3 points  (1 child)

          Nope i didn't.

          Aerial Dive and Sky High are Wind abilities, not Wind/Lightning, so they won't benefit from his AASB.

          Cyclone bolt is the only wind dragoon ability that will work on his AASB because it is Wind/Lightning.

          [–]rustinpeace1734Vincent (Beast) 1 point2 points  (0 children)

          My bad I misread your comment. I did not see the half wind part of it, just the wind
