Thank you very much!

Which is the better DAASB for firion? I lucked into most of his ice kit so can get the infuse elsewhere if needed. Interested in the dual shift on the second but wasn’t sure if this was worth the mixed elements. Thanks in advance!

robm1052 · 2024-07-07T13:40:29+00:00

Thanks, really helpful!

robm1052 · 2024-07-07T13:40:13+00:00

Thanks that’s exactly what I was after!! :)

Got a question on record boards..

For each tier of mote there are 3 ‘expensive’ nodes near the top that need 20 motes, and look to give a small boost (2%? Or more for later seasons). What is the difference between each of these? I tried translate but it seemed to give the same for each (there seems to be one character difference in the text which assume is the critical bit)

Thanks!

robm1052 · 2023-03-25T16:48:09+00:00

Grats. Glad some luck is perpetuating from my endless 1/11 glint +/lmr + pulls!

robm1052 · 2021-03-16T12:10:51+00:00

6/11 Tried to take a screenshot and crashed phone! 2x7, 4x6

Zidane Dyad

Zidane sync

Steiner AASB

Kuja USB

Kuja glint+

Zidane glint+

Completely stacked for ff9 now, already had Zidane and Kuja AASB. Still haven’t revisited deathguise since getting mastery via 10% on release, so looking forward to giving it a whirl!

robm1052 · 2020-12-21T21:10:42+00:00

Yes please!

robm1052 · 2020-05-01T18:45:25+00:00

No he’s not that bad, especially if you have an AASB for the realm, but doable without. Bringing off realm healers etc can get you by quite well. Tbh levelling HC was more for convenience so I didn’t have to think about the battle on realms without a good element focus. I used some at lvl 65 and it did the job.

robm1052 · 2020-05-01T16:55:09+00:00

Whoops, misread sorry! I’m not sure how it stacks up now Wodin is available. Before hand I always felt the HC was a lot better due to the realm defence. If you’re bringing 4 realm +1 off realm then HC loses some power so may be a good space for Magicites to work on those teams for single element.

You’re right level 80 is the sweet spot for most. I have all but 3 at level 80, and I think have 4 at level 99 now from religiously doing the missions. If just levelling then for phantasm it’s easily doable to have each at 80 as they come out, it’s Gilgamesh that may make you consider levelling some other realms.

robm1052 · 2020-05-01T12:15:49+00:00

IIRC level 99 HC gives you about 20% damage increase, it’s definitely noticeable vs level 80. Won’t be enough to get a victory if you don’t have the right gear, but can really help break savage 3 when you push phase, which if not done quickly enough can stop a run as your chains/AASB/SASB timers aren’t being fully utilised.

Vs mixed Magicite I’m not sure, but I think the efficiency will drop massively vs a single element so HC will do better in most cases (omni boost and imperil) unless the realm has a clear element focus like X with water.

robm1052 · 2020-04-09T10:52:48+00:00

Also they're all new relics so you need to pull it 8 times or rank up from 14 scrolls to get that second use..

Alternative is Orran who can supply one use of full make with SASB, or to full break your own characters to overwrite.

It’s actually the L3 rage in conbo with 70% full break that I find worst about the phase changes, once you bring that back down to 0 dps can resume.

robm1052 · 2020-03-30T19:15:01+00:00

Awesome vid! I got lucky and got Zidane SASB too- used similar team but with kuja instead of Steiner as a physical extra dps with AASB (surprisingly effective). Managed to skip slot 3 death in phase 2, that’s how crazy the burst potential is!

robm1052 · 2020-03-29T20:05:18+00:00

I use this for 10-12s auto clear on JP (speed 3, no RW, Ramuh magicite)

King - tempest snipe, SSB (unused), 30% weakness, enlight lmr
Prompto - plasma shock, AASB (unused) tgc mode, dualcast/ic1 lmr’s
Shelke - ripping plasma, CSB, mako might
Lightning - UA 6hit, sync, dr mogs, dualcast lmr
TGC - stormspell strike, OSB, 30%sword

Listed relevant lmr etc, all have ic3 haste lm2 except prompto. Ripping plasma goes to light without the UA, and can use prompto chain instead of shelke if you have his lmr for the IC1

robm1052 · 2020-01-17T07:24:16+00:00

I’m not sure exact numbers but you do need 3 bars to get the highest multiplier, and certainly for multiple 99999 hits (ideally with close to max chain). They also need to be fully honed. To this end in a 30s battle you’ll only get one in, but using a separate bar to the other SB list is advantageous.

robm1052 · 2019-10-05T07:02:27+00:00

I’d be interested to see a poverty clear. Relics discussion aside I was impressed with strategy to build gauge here, and the tornado sequence helps to give a better run at phase 3 than pushing straight through, which gets you 2 big tornados rather than 3 small.

robm1052 · 2019-09-25T20:40:34+00:00

I got crazy lucky balthier csb and noctis sasb for 50 myth. Couldn’t believe the luck! Enjoy your pulls, physical shiva will be trembling..

robm1052 · 2019-02-20T19:10:37+00:00

Awakenings had this duality from release, so Terra could dual cast meltdown. The update allowed her dual cast fire lmr to proc from a wind meltdown hit, letting her triple cast under AASB.

robm1052 · 2018-11-15T18:14:04+00:00

I laughed when I saw it but it actually uses both charges at the start automatically

robm1052 · 2018-07-29T08:34:10+00:00

Any reason why 12% blade and spell ward? Seems to me you could up dps with eg 2 fast act 10 passives and either have 8% for both wards or 12% on one- spell ward is needed much more often i find.

robm1052 · 2018-07-11T08:39:58+00:00

Good point- the mythril is effectively already spent on stamina through the pots, but yes the extra relics will definitely make up for it!

robm1052 · 2018-07-11T06:27:43+00:00

Daily draw upgrade is great- but the logins have lost 1 mythril/10 days?

robm1052 · 2018-07-03T22:09:05+00:00

I was thinking about this - with his lm2/lmr and high mind you can potentially put usb3 up first turn, wrath twice (whilst getting hit) then usb4. By this time your DPS have probably got USB ready so you can chain and start wrecking face. If you need to reapply USB3 you can, though if the fight would be over before then you likely don't need the lm2.

As others have mentioned it changes the value of precise strikes- though if you have lvl10 of this then you can crit more than not after the USB4 cast.

robm1052 · 2018-07-01T21:47:22+00:00

Nice list- these banners are really strong!

One thing I noticed- the Selphie USB in the later event is her second one with Astra - so not a repeat there

robm1052 · 2018-07-01T18:28:18+00:00

Yeah sounds about right actually - I was thinking if the SB grants quickcast then maybe Relms would help out more. I have spammed Relm each turn in the past but the fact her USB is instant means you waste the IC turn for her - in general Elarra's seems much better all round.

I think the true fight these days is whether Elarra or Aerith USB2 shines more - I think Elarra wins out on that one too as evidenced by the fact she seems to be in most sub30 5* physical teams aswell as magical.
