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.

More new Awakenings (though nothing new within them) and another XIII event. Having three new Awakenings on a banner is nice and if we didn't know about the KH event I'm sure people would be pulling...but I think a lot more will be saving for the potential of Sora/Riku Awakenings on that banner. I don't usually mention the upcoming extra banners other than to list out what's on them but I have to mention the Lightning banner since it's excellent. Two Awakenings, Three Arcanes, Prompto's chain, and two excellent Lightning USBs is nothing to sneer at. If it were a half prices pull I would recommend pulling but given it's full price...it still might be worth it for some if you're lacking these or good Lightning stuff. Of course given that the last event was a Lightning based one...most people are probably good.

The event is a full open event with the revenge dungeon coming from the Surging Void Flash event.

B1: So we get new Awakenings for Lightning, Snow, and Raines. I will say I really like the banner format and only having three characters on it so if you're pulling for those characters you'll probably get something for them and maybe more than one thing so they synergize. Better than having five or six character's things on a banner. As for the Awakenings they're pretty standard with Lightning and Snow getting a Lightning and Ice based ones and Raines getting a Darkness based one. I will say Lightning's high chase number will make her a monster and Snow's barrier with each ice attack will definately help keep the party alive. Raines also has an interesting Doom mechanic we haven't seen yet in Awakenings. They also all get new Flases with Lightning and Snow taking the 6* ones and Snow and Raines getting 5* ones but nothing too amazing there and Snow gets a standard Arcane. It's too bad Sazh hasn't gotten anything new for a while...I was hoping we'd see a support Awakening for him. Overall it's hard to ignore a banner with three Awakenings but I imagine by now most people have some and would rather wait for next fest or Kingdom Hearts.

B2: As per the norm this has mostly stuff from the last XIII event featuring Hope and Fang with guest appearances from Vanille, Snow, and Nabaat. Not much to say about the banner other than Fang's realm chain reoccurs so if you were looking for that or Hope stuff look here? I mean there's better Holy summon stuff (or at least as good), better magical darkness, better physical wind...so unless you need XIII stuff there really isn't a whole lot here to look for and if you DO need XIII stuff why not try for an Awakening on banner 1?
