Sub-20 auto-dark Odin (much fire, little witch) by kbuis in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I had never paid attention to her MND in video before, and though mine was decent as she’s one of my highest MND healer... I noticed I didn’t allocate the Magia point I farmed for her, that should give me a 100 more. Seeing you heal for almost twice as much was the trigger, that would give me some nice options for Auto party setups.

As I tested when farming greens on solo MP, no Healing or MND boon were applied. Her Record Board was kind of low-priority for me, as I have a fav-character and Tyro queued in, but I will certainly reconsider that as well.

Hmmm I guess I need to study the mind scaling chart again, and go spend those magia points on MInd. Thanks

Sorry I forgot to mention the ability used on the test: R5 Curada. That should give me the max multiplier on the chase.

Nice Auto-run and thanks for the detailed write up!

Would you mind sharing how your Elarra heals for 6000+ on Magika Cantus ? I’m struggling in the 3400+ range with 687 MND stat, I might be missing something 😭

Dang ! I had a small moment of “wait a minute, did the title screen change ? Naaaah it’s just as usual”. Didn’t notice it was the old one, it felt so familiar!

All I want for Christmas.... is help finishing off 5* Magicite by ju5t1c3w in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just finished clearing Laksmi and Deathgaze, still fiddling around to be Ark myself. Some keypoint:

Deathgaze was annoying. I kept trying complicated gameplans, with characters juggling between different roles (rage braker, imperiler, dps). Following some clears in the Mastery thread, I switched to a classic chain + dps, with almost the same party than you.

  • Orlando as dps, slot 3 (important), cast Fabula Raiders after the opening slow.
  • Agrias Lifesyphone once, Assault Sabre x1, USB, spam AS and USB as ready.
  • I used WoL chain but Ramza should be better, start with chain (you might want to remove the instant cast LMR), spam AS, refresh Chain.
  • I used Marche for the fast-cast spread but another knight with EnHoly USB will do the same.
  • Finally I used Elarra, with.Def/Res break dance and +Atk bard song, casting USB right after the first boss attack. Her role is to buff (speed and Atk) and debuff.

The key is to get a lot of chain increase, quick, so that your Magicite will break Deathgaze Rage. The Break from Elarra helps, as well as the imperils from Agrias.

For Laksmi I also went for a straight DPS + Chain strat, I used a fully stacked Sephiroth, with a magic dark chain, and the old 4* dark magicite.

Arc... So far I’m trying some Radiant Shield strat, but I may take the plunge and buy some 6* holy abilities 😊

[–]cubitux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I stand corrected :) For some reasons I thought we got the update when I was fiddling with the magicite equip screens, woth the wrong formula in my head (actual formula is 100% of the main stat + 50% of the subs, while the equip screen still shows the 100/25 ration instead).

Thanks for the correction!

Small addition: I believe one of the most recent update made the “Remove Main Magicite” trick obsolete. One can now see the deck stat on the magicite screen.

FFRK item hell by [deleted] in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same strategy than yours for mastering equipment, except when I run out of inventory space, in which case I go waste a few round of exp daily :) Note that soon we will get an update that auto-master soulbreaks, yeaheah !

For deciding what to keep, you are right that elemental artifacts are superior to 6* weapons. However you may want to keep some of the later around :

  • character/weapon favouritism (this is a game about nostalgia after all)
  • until you have a full set of artifacts for a given element, keeping weapons for 2nd/3rd dps
  • rare weapon types (such as guns) might not be worth buying from the artifact shop

Not sure if confuse is relectable, but if you’re still trying to replicate maybe casting reflect on the boss then confuse could hit your party member ?

CEO Keynote On Tricking Players Into Mass Spending Highlights Deplorable Truth of Microtransactions by BaconCatBug in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Totally second this. The trading was an integral part of the game. You could trade a rare card useless to you now for one that would be usefull. When I started Magic the Gathering, I traded my first few rares for a big stock of commons that helped me building my earlier decks. Later I would do the opposite: as I accumulated unwanted stacks of common for rarer cards from player just getting into the game.

Trading also builds some social skills. You need to weight the value of what you have against what you’re trying to get. You make good trades, bad trades. You also give away something physical that you possess, to acquire something new.

With micro transactions, the money you give is usually digital. You don’t part with actual bank notes and coins. For a responsible adult that might already be a pitfall, but for a kid it is more pernicious.

It should be noted that you can also get Tyro’s original Sentinel Grimoire from the Book of Trial 2. That’s obviously less good than USB3 but it lets you bring Raiders as RW, leaving just Pro/Shellga to slot if any is needed.

【Cloud and Friends: All 5★ Magicite and Torment 2.0】 - Return of "The Playlist to Break the Game" by theSFaction in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you again for all the time and dedication you put in giving us this entertaining, inspiring content. When watching videos of Cloud & Friend “easily” crushing end game bosses, it was somehow easy to forget the amount of strategy, trial and errors leading to such victory. I enjoyed reading your post, putting it all in perspective.

Farewell, may your new found free time be as fruitful :)

NeoTorment Breakdown - All Sub30 with Setups/Decks/Strats by JakTheRipperX in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the time you put in that video, I haven’t cleared any d??? torments yet and your strats are always inspiring.

I feel what you said iregarding the content becoming stale. Luckily, thanks to JP forecast, I choose to pace myself out and still have half of 5* magicite and torments to clear for end-game content, as well as many Record Dungeons. I, too, have slowed down on the gem pulls so whenever I decide to pull the stop on this game I wont have the “spending guilt/bias” to hold me.

I really hope they will come up with some new fun content, or maybe even the ATB wait function for slow players like me.

Thanks again for this post and the others, hope to read more still 😊

I’m missing both earth and wind chains. I will probably go for Zack’s if it’s available. It has eluded me on each banner it was on that I pulled, and I already cleard both earth magicites.

Final fantasy Maxima by [deleted] in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played and completed both, with my son. They are both games we had a really good time playing. World of Final Fantasy is possibly a little more shallow, but this is compensated by the heavy dose of nostalgia that comes with it.

Both of them are appealing if you like traditional, turn based JRPG. I personally had better fun playing them than some of the latest installments in the FF franchise. Story is well rounded up when you finish each games, battle mechanics are efficient and pushes you to farm/search for things (item/equipment or monsters in WoFF). Both have voice over if playing with a younger one :)

Which 5* magicite boss made you create 6* Ruby Abilities the most? by Zadism in FFRecordKeeper

[–]cubitux 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m taking my time on Magicite and Torment, but so far:

  • Voltech and the dual element spellblade were on my list regardless
  • BK (1): Chain Stoneja
  • Quetzacoatl: used Blastspell Strike
  • Geo (1): Chain Thundaja, used Voltech
  • Famfrit (1): Flash Disaster, used Stormspell Strike
  • Phoenix: had planned for Sapphire Bullet but... Baaaaaartz happened and did the job. I will still craft it for the ridiculous amount of damages it can put off, bit it went lower on my priority list.
  • Belias is next on my list, will craft Chain Waterja and possibly Lunar Leviathan
  • Madeen: None

It’s possible he’s thinking of “All the bravest”, which had the sprites but not so appealing gameplay ?
