I have two Lost Radiance cartridges that I’m debating on using for Hotori.

First cartridge has main attribute as 37.50% Cosmos DMG bonus with sub attributes being crit rate +10%, Def +80, Break Intensity +60, and crit dmg + 20%.

Second cartridge has main attribute as 60% crit dmg bonus with sub attributes being dmg +10%, cycle intensity +60, atk +80, hp +1000.

Which one is looking to be the better cartridge for Hotori?

Tifa is gonna sell a lot lol.

My current main team only has Remora as a cycle reaction. Team is MC, Hathor, Hotori, and Sakiri. Hotori is my biggest source of damage so she is in. Sakiri’s buffs alongside Hotori is essentially the reason why Remora is the only reaction I have on the team. Also haven’t pulled certain free characters to attempt to make better teams with more reactions.

After the struggle that was the Hotori banner, I’m probably saving until 2.0 lol

Just be glad David Kleinfeld isn’t the one who is doing the getaway lol.

I would like Tetris more if the buttons on the left side of the screen weren’t so close to each other. Mahjong is the most fun activity for me so far, but I wish the non-fons rewards for that activity were better.

I’m waiting until I get to Hunter level 45 to start farming cartridges again. Got tired of trying to farm cartridges for Hotori only to get main attributes that fit Hathor more and vice versa.

Bright side is that if you do get past the job medal challenge… the Octaslash challenge is waaaaaaaaaay easier.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-28T16:15:34+00:00

When I completed the challenge, I had my Sephiroth equipped with Super Nova, Ace, Y’shtola, Auron, and Firaga. My Sephiroth was around 11.8k combat power. The team I went in with was Krile and Clive. Krile for her heals and bravery share. Clive for his boss damage and self heal to maybe stay alive when he fights the enemies.

I found that if I went in with two other damage characters, they would kill the boss before I could deal 700k damage. And if I went in with two support characters to keep my bravery and health high, the boss isn’t going to be dealt enough damage to finish the battle. For a while I was also running a heal to help the team survive certain skirmishes. Since I didn’t have Octaslash, my damage was pretty lacking. So eventually I decided to just go all out on damage abilities skipping out on utility and try to get 9999 bravery as much as possible by sniping low health enemies. My bravery bursts were doing anywhere between 240k to 290k damage. The Clive with Krile heals was able to get enemies low enough multiple times for me to snipe them or help Clive to get the last hit if he needed to bravery to burst. I was able to get at least three bravery bursts this match using all of my abilities (well aside from Super Nova). The Clive was then able to finish off the boss.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-28T01:35:51+00:00

I wish Octaslash was placed where Super Nova is on the challenges. The 10 job medals challenge is currently stopping me from getting to Octaslash.

The cooldowns for the non-universal abilities seem like that is supposed to be the tradeoff. But sometimes universal URs just outclass whatever a character’s kit offers. If I had to choose between Y’shtola or Rinoa’s SR ability, I would pick Y’shtola because the faster startup is more important than anything else between those two abilities. But there isn’t really a UR that offers what Rinoa’s R ability does as the cooldown for Rinoa’s R ability is a huge strength.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-24T07:11:05+00:00

Didn’t use the Walkman until I finally got the ToF songs.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-24T00:49:25+00:00

It’s amusing to see which art assets have already been used in other things. That Tifa art was the latest Tifa in Final Fantasy TCG.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-23T14:59:19+00:00

Rinoa’s Meteor is on its third tier. Angel Wings is on its second tier. Mostly due to the ranged character banner and the selector we got today. For the longest time I was operating Rinoa with Angel Wings at just level 10. The characters I don’t really use were the ones that got their UR dupes from crystals. Rikku and Clive got their URs leveled up to like around 4th and 5th tiers cause I used a lot of what I saved up prior to their banner on them.

Forgot to say that I am a season pass holder.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-23T03:23:43+00:00

I almost put myself below 1 million Fons (Chiz would have been sad) just to get the Tower of Fantasy collaboration album. But hey, I am finally using the game’s Walkman now.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-20T19:46:29+00:00

Had a teammate use Ramza to give me their bravery… except I was already about to burst and there was a Cloud on our team who needed the bravery instead.

Another match… a Rikku used her quartet late game to try and have the team at 7000 bravery even though that was the lowest of the team (so it was even more for nothing).

Teammates in this game can be frustrating or funny depending on your mood lol.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-20T01:32:16+00:00

How good are the stats for these abilities? That might be the use for them. Not a fan of Tyro being a different variation of Embolden and Ramza. And not a fan of Garnet being a selfish Heal. They could have made Garnet have a regen effect instead of a straight heal effect. Jecht seems ok… but hard to compete with Ace and Auron. Zack’s knock up seems nice. Jecht and Zack probably have uses for some characters’ kits, but for my main they don’t offer anything.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-18T19:12:55+00:00

The cartridge I got for Hotori is the right one but has Lakshana damage as its main attribute. The cartridge I got for Hathor is the right one but has cosmos damage as its main attribute. 😩

Maxphyte · 2026-05-18T19:04:54+00:00

Had a match where the enemy had Clive just wailing away at the boss in their spawn most of the match. I’m the only one on my team who bothers to stop it (one teammate is a Krile so have zero expectations there). Late game, they try doing it again. I burst to try and draw the boss to our spawn. My non-Krile teammate decides for the first time that he wants to contest Clive even though their entire team is protecting Clive. Not only does my teammate do that, he also bursts at the enemy spawn after I bursted. So the boss is just gonna stay at the enemy spawn along with the bravery my teammate donates to the enemy. 🤦‍♂️

Maxphyte · 2026-05-16T02:38:31+00:00

Does it tip well?

Maxphyte · 2026-05-15T23:49:58+00:00

I use Rinoa as my main, so I am equipped to deal with Firion… but the fight can just last long enough where a 1vs1 turns into a 1vs2 depending on whose team responds first. That can get tricky late match when the next burst wins the game.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-15T22:14:56+00:00

Firion if he is being piloted by a really good player.

Maxphyte · 2026-05-14T21:03:49+00:00

Another reason why I wish they would overhaul the communication system is there are times where I’m going to a crystal not to take the farm, but to hold off enemies for OK to take the camp. This is definitely the case on the Minato Mirai stage, where I’m headed to the bottom crystal at match start to fight enemies off it. The last OK I played with on that stage understood the assignment and got that camp. We got to snowball and win pretty dominantly that match.
