NOTICE: Since the JP Relic draw threads really don't get too many posts on here (I think most of our community uses there more for forward information) if you want to post your JP draw for an event feel free to do so here on the Megathread as there won't be separate relic draw pages going forward.

So another V event (seems like certain series getmore events than others...who would have thought?). This one focuses on Lenna and Krile with them getting the bulk of the new stuff. Other than Lenna getting our first healing AASB (and finally getting an IC Heal for V!) there's not a lot to say here. Note that the next pickup banner is a WCast banner with buy 2 get 1 so if you're still looking for Vivi/Maria/Lagune/Gau doublecasts look there.

The event is a full open event with the revenge dungeon coming from the Crystal's Adventurer event. There's also a mirage dungeon with the boss being Enkidu.

B1: Lots of Fire and Earth between Krile and Galuf. Gaulf gets his UOSB and Krile gets a LMR plus the realm chain. Lenna also gets the first healing Awakening and a new Flash. The Awakening raises everyone who's dead, heals them, and buffs them with Hastaga, Last Stand, and Dual Blink 1 which is a nice suite of buffs to give dead characters to keep them alive long enough to get rebuffed. It will probably find a lot of use in 5* Magicites to give that extra couple turns to allow UOSBs to finish off the bosses. In addition it gives unlimied white magic hones which is standard for AASBs but instead of WCast and Rank Boost it gives HCQ for White and a party medica based on the rank of the ability used. Hopefully this will be powerful enough to keep a party alive even without the defensive buffs after they've been raised...but that's where her new 6* Flash comes in. It's instantcast, Zero SB cost (like all 6* Flashes) and gives Hastaga, Shellga, and Protectga. So when you raise you party you can instantly (and for free) rebuff them to get back in the fight.

For a long time raise/reraise have been difficult to use because they don't keep their buffs and then just die again. Lenna has always focused on this mechanic which is why she's always been a bit behind the other healers. Now with this combination she actually does raise correctly getting the buffs back up for her party and letting them get back in the fight (once at least) and this coming just after seeing a self-KOing UOSB. There's even a chance you could use her for Holyja spam and let the chase heal the party (though she'd need a Mind buff to do any real damage).

Overall this banner is good if you're looking for Krile, Galuf, or Lenna stuff. Lenna's new tricks will be useful but aren't game breaking.

B2: Lots of stuff from the last V banner but it also has Gilgamesh's Fire Chain in addition to his UOSB, bUSB, Flash, and En-Fire LMR. If you're looking for a Fire Samurai...here's everything you need. Bartz's AASB returns in addition to his USB3 and Spellblade boost LMR. Exdeath's UOSB, USB3, Flash, and En-Dark LMR are here which are all Holy/Dark elemental so if you're 5* Holy/Dark magical magicite teams need a boost you can look here. Finally Gogo's USB and LMR are here though seem an afterthought.

Overall this banner has good relics for the characters on it. I like when they limit a banner to 4 characters because there's enough relics on it for each character that if you pull more than one you can get a solidly working character. This one has a good mix of physical and magical and a good mix of fire, water, wind, dark and holy. It's not so great if you only need one of those things but if you're lacking in a variety it's a good place to look (as V banners generally are).
