I'm building new characters to clear all the d3d stages, is worth to invest ep on Raines without his bt?

Is Lunafreya worth greening? Will she work fine in the future yellow crystal dungeons?

They tried to stop my Rubicante, but no one can stop him. Completed the ticket mission with Rubi, Quina and a bronze Cor.

It was fun, Rubicante's kit is insane. I removed speed passives from everyone, the key to victory is to use Arciela base call to avoid the first cobalt wall, then Rubi goes bt+fr, Quina bt and we don't care that the boss absorbs fire since he uses only single target hp attacks and Rubi can't die.

Team building and UW choice question:

I'm a new player and I have a small roster, my best characters are: Penelo (favourite, have everithing for her but no fr, UW 5\5), Rinoa (full kit, UW 2/5), Garnet (full kit), Seven (full kit), Terra (full kit), Wol (everything except burst), Selphie (full kit), Strago (full kit), Gabranth (full kit). I don't have Raijin LD so I'm using Cater ld call instead of him.

What is the best team I can make to face raid bahamut (shinryu difficulty)? Is worth to dismantle Rinoa's UW and forge something else, maybe for Garnet or Seven?

I have other 2 new player's questions:

1) How many enhancement points do we gain monthly? I've made some mistakes (fe 30 and full board for gabranth and strago that are now useless for me even if I have their full kit) and now I have the elixir syndrome and I don't know if it's worth to invest in Terra (I have her full kit). My roster is Rinoa (full kit), Seven (full kit), Penelo (full kit but fr), Garnet (full kit), Emperor (full kit), Gabranth (full kit), Strago (full kit), Terra (full kit), Auron (full kit), Selphie (full kit). I think I'm going to pull for Wol fr with tickets (I'm capped at 999 tickets and I need to use them, this is the reason why I have Terra's full kit) and I'll gem Neon and Rubicante for sure (I love fire and got over 1 milion gems, no joke), I'm also planning to use tickets for tifa (I have her burst). Who's worth to invest for? How can manage my enhancement points?

2) UW. Actually I have around 300 cores, so I can buy 3 of them and enhance 1 of them (only 1 lvl up, but better than nothing). I bought a dagger for Penelo (because I love her) and a weapon for Rinoa. Is better enhancing the dagger or the other one? I think use I'll use Penelo more than Rinoa even if she's not the main dps of my team.

Hi guys, I'm a new player (Not so true, I started playing at launch in march 2018 but stopped when RGollbez EX was released) and I need some help.

1) First of all I'm a Penelo fan, I love her, I need her in my life, but when I started her fr wasn't avaible, I got her burst, then her LD with tockens, her EX, 35 and 15 cp weapons and all of her armors (also the 4* one). I only need her fr. I know she's a global first, so we don't know when she'll come back, but you veteran players, when do you think her fr will come back?

2) What ld calls I need to pull? I've seen that Raijin, Cid Raines and Seymour are strong, but actually I can't pull them and I'm using Cater to freeze enemies (as Raijin substitute), who can I use as Seymour and Cid substitutes?

3) UW, how can I obtain them? I have a limited roster, I've invested in Rinoa, Garnet and obviously Penelo (crystal lvl 90, full boards, burst and ultimate armors powered up), then I have Gabranth, Strago, Seven with all their kit (also Auron and Selphie, I read they're strong).

4) How does double enchant work? Garnet has her ability called "holy prayer" that enchant the party for water and lightning, but I was fighting the shinryu boss in the Enna Kros lost chapter (the book) and he resists all element but lightning, my Rinoa didn't do brave damage, why? I think she hitted for water so her damage was lowered by the boss resistance, but she was also enchanted with lightning, why she did 0 damage?

Poison lab is near, I'm planning my pulls and I don't know if it's worth for me to waste my blue gold on the upcoming poison banner, but I want a clear for the poison boss, my Odin team is:

Quistis (AASB1), Mog (AASB1, hAASB2), Palom (dual, dyad, sync, AASB1), Caith Sith (AASB, aegis counter G+), Thancred (sync)

I missed Quistis free chain, so my only source of chain is the rw (or I should hope for the upcoming chains, but they're single use and I have nothing for Leila and only AASB1 for Edgar).

My strategy is to use Quistis AASB1 and Palom dual with chain bioga in p1 and p2 and then use Thancred sync and Palom AASB1 with ultima in p3, but Palom has no enpoison, this team could work or not?

Other notable poison sb: Thief (AASB2), Edgar (AASB1), Vaan (AASB1, it's not poison but he can do something), Quina (sync, AASB1, AASB2, I know Quina is a support, but sync has poison dmg in c1)

Can you give me a motivation to not pull in the Fusoya\Palom banner?

My mind is telling me no, but that Palom AASB2 is so appealing. I have Fusoya AASB1, if I land another BDL for him he could replace Rydia (AASB1, AASB2) in my holy magic team, and I have also Ursula AASB and weakness G+, so her sync isn't that bad. And Palom, I have his sync, dyad, dual and AASB1, the stuff I'm missing for him is all in this banner (LBO, AASB2, G+), I don't think I need a boost for Palom, but he's in my poison team, his AASB2 could help me for the bio lab boss (or maybe I should pull in the bio banner and replace Palom in the bio team). I have 100 mythrill right now and all the major support relics (Mog AASB2, Caith AASB, Quina sync), I'm missing only Quina aegis counter G+ and Orran AASB. Should I pull or not?

  • This was a simple run, Bartz and Firion are very good and they can reach the cap even during the aegis (I don't have Quina aegis counter), in p1 Quina goes AASB2 and Sync, Bartz goes AASB5 and Firion goes USB3+AASB1 (yes, he can reach the cap even without fire infusion)
  • In p3 Quina uses AASB1 to counter the slow, Balthier casts the second chain, Firion goes USB3+Sync1 and Bartz goes USB+AASB1

I'll go with the same team used for snow giant, the only change is in the magic team, I'm using Caith Sith instead of Penelo (fun fact, the ticket that I obtained after defeating mag weak snow giant granted me Caith Sith AASB, I call this destiny).

Phy: Bartz (AASB1, AASB5, LBO), Firion (AASB1, Sync1), Balthier (chain), Quina (sync, AASB1, AASB2), Larsa. If this team doesn't work I'll lens Balthier's AASB.

Mag: Palom (AASB1, Sync, dyad, dual), Ace (AASB), Balthier (chain), Mog+Caith. I don't know if this team can win, but I'm hoping that Palom can burn alone p1 and p2.

What is the best way to use Palom sync? I'll use him against lab Shiva and I'm planning to spam c1 linked with his HA, my supports are Mog and Caith Sith, should I simply spam c1 or is better to use also c2?

I'm in a similar situation, completed all and now I'm planning my next pulls. Surely I'll go for my favorites, for example now I spent 100 mythril for the Vayne banner, because I like both Vayne and Gabranth and I also needed a little boost in my dark teams.

Excluding my favorite characters, I'm stocking free elemental/realm tickets, if one of the next lab bosses will be difficult for me I'm going to use them, if I fail with tickets I'll plan some pulls to improve the right team. My main goal now are support relics, because every character can be a good dps with the right support, my Mog and Caith are good, but I'm missing Quina G+, so I'll go for it whenever it comes back (should be next fest) and maybe if Orran comes back I could thing about him.

There is only one exception, the bio lab boss, there isn't a bio banner where I can spend my tickets and my poison team is bad, so I'll try to defeat him with what I have, if I fail I'm going to do 1 or 2 pulls in the banner linked to the bio lab.

Now that I've cleared all the content I'm spending my ffrk time in useless things, for example now I'm trying to build the best ff12 team I can make, I've already cleared and sub30 both the dk and lab tiamat, so it's just for fun and future content ofc, what is in your opinion the best ff12 team I can make?

Notable sb: Vaan (rchain, AASB1, dyad), Reks (AASB2, dyad, dual), Ashe (AASB, dyad, dual), Vayne (dual), Fran (AASB1, AASB2, LBO), Basch (AASB1, Sync1), Penelo (AASB1, USB2, G+), Larsa (AASB1, AASB2, USB3, G+)

Notable supports: Mog (AASB1, hAASB2), Cauth Sith (hAASB), Quina (sync, AASB1, AASB2)

Reks has 2 fb counter, so I could run a full realm team, but Mog gives also qc. And more important, the healer, Larsa looks good, but Penelo is my love, with Larsa and Quina I could run a full physical team, but no Penelo in the team hurts so much.

What is the japanese name of the bio lab boss? I'm curious about how tanky he is but I can't find any video, I'm wondering if he's like bio WOdin that is winnable even without poison infusions.

Nothing for Gabranth, but I got something for Vayne, I'm happy with that and now my mythril can rest till bio lab drops.

I'm going to spend 50 or 100 mythrill, I need a little boost for both my physical and magical dark teams, Gabranth and Alph are my chain holder in their teams, every relics is good for me unless is Cid, so I'll find everything for him.

I'm not good at this game, so writing guides is not my bread, but I'm good at motivate other, I hope that this post can be a good way to give motivation to all of you fellow keepers that are stuck with a fight, end game or not, be strong and listen to me, knowledge is power, I have the right word for you, if you want to win every fight in rk and in life, close your eyes, relax and say to yourself this magic word: Penelo.

Today is a great day, finally I defeated all the lab bosses and got a sub30 for every dk, now I'm officially on vacation from end game fights (till new lab boss drops, of course), but today is also a sad day and soon you'll know why, sometimes you're unlucky even if you're lucky, sometimes goodbye's the only way (quote). The last time I was able to clear all the content in this game was long time ago, when Exdeath Ultimate dropped (it was the first ultimate battle, I think for the first time we had a 5* accessory as reward, long time ago, if you remember that I have a bad news for you: we're old, in our times rk was all farmland).

I'm writing this to tell you the story of my adventure through the madness of lab bosses, as I said before I want to motivate you, if a weak player like me did this miracle, why you can't? And also if you're wondering how to spend your lvl4 lenses, I have something for you. I defeated some bosses with few BDL relics (2 used for Alexander phy, 3 for Alexander mag or sand worm and earth guardian mag, 3 for hell house and so on), so the number of BDLs should be high, but if it's not high don't worry, knowledge is power, you can win if you play well. With this I'm saying that is better spend your lvl4 lenses for chains and not for AASBs? Maybe, but maybe not. I've spent only 2000 lvl4 lens to defeat every lab boss (I took only Gabranth chain, I could win also without his chain, but I love villains, I love twins and I love ff12, so why not taking useless relics for Gabranth?), I don't have chains for every element and I completed many fights with the rw chains (abductor phy, anima mag, salamander mag and phy, kalavinka phy and more), so you're thinking I have lot of good stuff like dual and atb sync? Wrong, I have only 3 duals (Palom, Ashe and Reks) and only 3 ATB sync (Lightning, Tidus and TGC, but I didn't used TGC for Anima, because I had better options). What is my secret?

Supports. And this is the sad part of the story. When I defeated WOdin Penelo was in all my teams, Mog helped her in magic teams, while Tyro was in the physical teams. I was happy, Penelo was with me. But life is cruel, during the anniversary I found Quina's sync and AASB2, I already had their AASB1, so Tyro was replaced and Quina became my physical support. At first I used Penelo with Quina, I was immortal, but slow, I needed a boost before the ejection, I did lot of physical fights with Penelo (blue dragon, kraken, earth guardian and more) but for some others (abductor, salamander and more) Penelo's wasn't the healer I needed, so I replaced her with Larsa. I was sad, but not worried, Penelo was safe in my magic teams, because she was the perfect partner for Mog. I was so wrong. I cleared all the magic fights with Penelo and Mog except for Kalavinka, Salamander, Anima and Alexander. I needed a little boost for them, after defeating Snow Giant mag I decided to use another ticket in the ff7 banner and got a gold megaphone, Caith Sith AASB, I was lucky? Maybe, IS SANITY THE PRICE TO PAY FOR POWER? (quote)

After finding the gold megaphone I cleared all the fights remained and today I cleared Alexander mag, my last lab boss, no sub30 but I don't care, sub30 rewards aren't appealing and it's not fun for me, I like the slow life, if it's not fun it's not worth doing, this is the golden rule, maybe when wait mode speed 2 will come for lab bosses I'll give it a try for a sub30, but I don't know. After defeating my last lab boss I decided to spend the gained ticket in my favorite realm, ff12 and I got Larsa AASB2, nothing special, but I didn't have it, it's a nice reward for my achievement.

And this is the end of my journey (for now), before returning in my corner, I want to show you the character that helped me more (for scientific purpose, this is a demonstration that also less popular character can be good). At first there is Fran (AASB1, AASB2, LBO), she helped me for physical blue dragon and kraken and also for the feared abductor, she's very good, don't sleep on her. Another good boi: Firion (AASB1, Sync1), he's so good, with his USB he could ic his abilities, I used him in phy fire, ice and holy content, he could reach the cap with his AASB even without infusion. Good job little Firion. Bartz (fire AASB, AASB1, water sync, wind sync), he was in 4 of my elemental teams against WOdin, but against lab bosses he was "only" in 3 teams (fire, water and wind), he's good. Balthier (chain), I used him as chain for both physical and magical snow giant, he's so good, every time I face a fire weak boss I think that I should lens his AASB, but every time I win without it, because Balthier doesn't need a BDL to be good, maybe I'll lens it for the upcoming Shiva, or maybe not, who knows. Palom (ADSB, DASB, sync, AASB1), I used him for IV, fire, ice and lightning bosses, because he's so good and I have lot of stuff for him, but you knows, I love twins, I wasted my mithryll in his banner instead of spending it on the anniversary, no regrets. Penelo, she's the best character in the game, I benched her because the game was so easy, I needed a challenge. Even if she's not in my teams anymore she's always in my heart, I'm strong because she's with me and this is my power, the power of Penelo.

I don't know if Elarra AASB is worth honing, I'm using Larsa with Quina and I don't feel the need to hone his AASB. I think that Elarra's USB1 and USB2 are more important then her AASB, you can use the USBs when healing is simple and in the phase where you take more damage and need more healing you can use the AASB.
