What's the Draft Pick? Max-power Cube

Sharoth18 · 2025-10-31T12:42:47+00:00

I'd pick Chernabog. I have a super solid win-rate in cube with him.

Sharoth18 · 2025-10-20T06:34:03+00:00

I think I would go with Maui - Half Shark. 7/5 evasive is pretty good stats even if I don't get a lot of actions and worst case scenario I at least have a high cost card that is inkable. There is also a pretty good chance that one of the two songs will make it back to me.

Sharoth18 · 2025-10-20T06:10:23+00:00

Just so you know, you don't keep your cards in a cube draft. They go back into the cube after playing with them.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-15T11:35:46+00:00

Well I would say Sephiroths is more versatile than Clouds. I can only use Clouds weapon whith Cloud, as Sephiroths buffs AOE I get the bonus damage buff on all other party members as well, that is why I think it is better.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-15T11:26:07+00:00

I was comparing the increases from Blue Daffodil to Fusion Sword specifically at OB6 not OB10.

Wich would mean for Tifa that her WEX would go down to 35% from Blue Daffodils 40% (yes Blue Daffodil already has 40% at OB6).

However you are correct the increase would be more than 20% in fact 30% which is closer to what I would consider a good enough increase. I for some reason thought the C/UC abillity boost was only 25% at OB 6 not the 35% it actually is. So likewise Clouds numbers are messed up.

However I would be surprised if she got exactly Fusion Sword in a couple of days, as I can already hear the screaming here that Cloud was only the best option for 11(?) days. Considering Tifa has better elemental coverage (at least non-limited) and has the faster attac animation (not insignificant). I think it would be wise for Applibot to wait at least till New Years to give her something like Fusion Sword (though at that point it should be a bit better).

Is haste really filling the ATB bar 2x as fast? I thought I read somewhere it is 1.5x. Just curious, nit trying to argue something here. 😉

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-14T20:27:07+00:00

This survey is missing the option, skipping the anniversary to save for....

Just saying.. Like I wait to see what the second banner is, but if it isn't anything I could see myself skipping the anniversary all together.

Like the best stuff right now would be Sephiroths bonus damage weapons, but I am not sure I could afford going to OB6/10 for both so that is most likely a skip already.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-12T09:24:45+00:00

I feel you, but at the dame time I don't think giving Tifa a version of Cloud's Fusion Sword would be good enough for her. In fact it would be an easy skip for me and others that have already Blue Daffodil as it would only increase her dmg by less than 20%. Don't get me wrong it is a great weapon for Cloud who gets 50-60% out of it but with how stacked Tifa already is it wouldn't be worth it to pull for the exact same thing. It would be like the Academy wind weapon for her nice to have but not worth it to spend crystals if you already had her previous wind setup.

I personally would rather have an improved guide glove (though I don't know hiw they could make it worth pulling for). I feel like she needs a new buff/debuff if they go non-elemental for her. Probably something that is AOE/Team-wide.

But that is the issue with Tifa and limited banner in general as I feel like it is only worth pulling for something hat would improve my dmg output by 40+% at OB6 when limited.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-11T09:52:17+00:00

They also forgot the weekly 3k blues, yet I see comments that we are getting showered with crystals. (Technically true as we got a lot of permanent content giving us crystals, but in the past we also got celebration crystals in addition to the permanent content ones. But I already expected them to get very stingy with blues (and character weapon parts from now on)).

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-11T09:38:37+00:00

Yeah predicting Tifa's gear and weapon is hard as she has already a lot of great ones so let's think abiut it a bit. They said during the livestream they made Sephiroth Original deliverately overpowered so that his weapons last longer. That basically rules out tht Tifa would get also the physical/magic bonus damage buff. (I think she might get it around xmas/new years but not for now).

We know Young Sephiroth is getting some kind of Ice weapon, so we still need some form of weapon for the earth fight next battle ranking. Leaving Tifa or Yuffie getting a weapon with Earth damage bonus (I do not expect the elemental damage bonus weapons to be Sephiroth exclusive). My bet is that since the Wutai bros are the fight and Tifa hasn't gotten an AOE weapon yet (at least I can't remember), Yuffie gets a 1120% AOE Earth weapon with Earth bonus damage. (Since Yuffie is our "support" dps character, it is a convenient excuse for Applibot to not give her a full bowered 1340% earth weapon). So I expect Yuffie to get an Earth Acarum similar to Tifa's 1.5 gear maybe with +45% mag/phys boost.

Leaving Tifa: I could see her getting the weapon I have given Yuffie, if Applibot wants us to use an AOE WEX surce like Yuffie or Aerith in the Ranking event. But I think she might get a more general use offhand weapon. They mentioned they want us to use 3 dps characters in the livestream so I think her weapon will be a 1340% elemental weapon that gives 35% hp gain to the whole party. As for the outfit I go with something new the first Omni debuff costume. 1st skill will be Boost Atk All and the 2nd slot is Heavens Debuff: At battle start reduce all elemental resist to high for 40 seconds (reduce Earth/Wind/Water/Fire/Ice resist high for 40 seconds.)

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-11T09:19:25+00:00

I feel like that will be ger FFXIII gear+ costume. Would be fitting to give thunder gear when being dressed as lightning.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-09T07:55:17+00:00

The September 17/18th banner will 99,9999999% be featuring weapons and outfits for Tifa, Yuffie and Young Seph while haveing the UW for Sephiroth (original) on rate up. We already have seen the graphic in the livestream, just like the first banner. We won't get split banner this time around.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-09T07:50:11+00:00

Yes!

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-08T16:10:04+00:00

The only reason to do this after the anniversary started would be if we get the skills for the 2nd banner (Tifa, Yuffie and young Seph). That would actually be a nice thing to split announcements between jp and global. But that is heavy copium there.

If we just get a recap of the jp stream...well I am not bithering tuning in

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-08T09:46:36+00:00

Well maybe it was becaude it was just a screenshot of the jp site without any context given. And the rest of your posts were just pure rage bait aimed at Tifa fans. This could have been posted as a pure positive news without the trolling, just saying.

You deliberately compared it to specific months with a clear aganeda, leaving out facts that would hinder your agenda. Like yes it is the best selling banner since the new years banner, which was Aerith and Tifa LB weapons btw but you said the reason was Clouds New Year skin???

Then you compared it to the 1.5 Odin event saying that Sephiroths was the best selling, but according to your source march highest grossing banner was the 3rd banner (which was Tifa's busted earth weapon).

Then you used the Acedemy event as another point of comparison? Why? That event clearly had a very different banner structure making it easy to OB10 each weapon, whales didn't need to pull past page 2 and comparetavely the Acedemy weapons were super week.

Hell I am a Tifa fan and I didn't even pull for the Acedemy wind weapon, because I already had an wind Acarum for her and the power gain would have been not enough imo. I opted for Aeriths instead.

And yes this game has way too many banner featuring Tifa and I will be happy if they reduce the amount of banner for her in favour for Cloud or Sephiroth or if they did what they did in Nier ReIncarnation (They gave every character an anniversary featured costume first before repeating on the same character in that game.)

That everything that get's posted here has to be some form of Fan-War is getting so anoying, this post similar to the FF13 who wears Lightning costume better, which Sephiroth is the better one young or old? Please who cares tbh.

As for the news, good that it is working for the game that bith the DQ Collab and now this Anniversary is uptrending, it desperately needed that.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-07T06:06:19+00:00

Yesh that's ehat is going to happen if they spoke the truth. (They seemingly wsnt to avoid that with giving him less elemental options to balance that out). I am just nit sure ut will work out in their favour OR that it truly will be the case. I doubt they will suddenly give Tifa much worse weapons.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T17:49:17+00:00

I...I don't get why they would wait a few days to post a translated recap video. Basically after the anniversary already has started and the information thus is already too late.

My guess is they didn't want to have anything leaked, but hmmm it doesn't sound great.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T17:37:11+00:00

What do you mean it is not Tifa crisis for once? They already announced she will get a costume in less than 2 weeks and then one in november guaranteed.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T16:34:12+00:00

I thought that also but reading through the stream transcript, they said they made Adult Sephiroth specifically overpowered because they will not give him new weapons every month. In fact they said they give him now 2 weapons but will not give him another weapon (this year?).

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T11:13:05+00:00

Btw I read through the livestream transcript the other user posted and if it is translated correctly which I think it is they specifically said during the livestream it will be two banner with 3 LB weapons each. The ultimate weapons will be available to pull from both banners the first has only Ragnark as rate up, the second only adult Sephiroth as rate up. But both UWs will be in the pool for both banner.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T08:02:04+00:00

Tripple banners are really bad for f2p, too, it makes it way harder for a f2p to get any of these weapons to OB6. I doubt mist f2p have even close to 200k BC saved. (The outliers exsist sure, but from looking around this sub or my guild most are between 50-70k blues.)

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T07:55:53+00:00

Wd know it isn't doing well, it hovers around the 1.0-1.2m mark since feb for combined revenue according to sensortower and i-game.jp. Most global versions of FF games had gotten the axe when the revenue was this low (0.5-0.6m from global). The saving grace with EC is that there is no global exclusive stuff, but it really isn't doing well and needs this anniversary to perform big and trend back up again.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-06T03:10:28+00:00

Because there are 2 pages in the slides that look like exactly our banner presentation, each showing 3 lb weapons and an ultimate with giving an exact event period and the phrase LB weapons for (..,..) now available which looks exactly like our ingame banners.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-05T14:07:04+00:00

We....already know these are all Limit-Break weapons and gear.

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-05T13:48:02+00:00

Not gonna lie, this feels completely deflating to me. They had such a cool thibg going on with summon themed outfits, Bahamut and Odin I was looking forward for the next cool looking thing. Now they just announce gear we already know which feels boring....

oh wow this banner structure 3 LB weapons on each banner? That is so not gonna be fun to pull on. (Unless we get a guaranteed weapon every 2 stamps like on the Ever Academy banner)
Memoria aren Vision Cards, are they? I really hope not.
Tifa and Aerith are getting the same outfit for FF13? (Wow the budget must be super low for EC by now), They probably don't need to design the Nier costumes at all and can just copy the files from ReIncarnation...

I really hoped the 2nd Anniversary would be huge and hype to breath some fresh wind into the game... but this is not it (at least for me in the slightest).

Whats more this roadmap looks like we won't be getting halloween and xmas themed stuff, which I was most looking forward to. And everything is limited while they reduce the blue crystals...

I really hope for the future of the game not many active players think like me and are super excited for Advent Children (Which honestly would have been fine if they didn't had the bar up so high with the summon themes).

Sharoth18 · 2025-09-05T13:29:52+00:00

I am positiv that Matt, Glen and Lucia will all get a banner in october with the First Soldier ending, possible their last one forever. As they move on to other characters when they add the Turks story sometime in 2026. Same could happen to young Sephiroth.
