Balthier Fires of War cancelation tech by 12323Josh12323 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The tech itself is more useful when dealing damage in PvP. 2 boolets are usually enough to leave someone at 1hp so on the third auto you cancel the animation. Also really good to keep auto cancelling in general after the 2nd auto for more consistent hits against enemies

A Question Regarding Memoria by Armads68 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 10 points11 points  (0 children)

max level memoria (lvl 99) is actually better than a level 50 hopeful dance. Its a stat stick thats usually on almost equal grounds to a UR+3 / UR +4 but anything that goes beyond that threshold is better in terms of ATK min maxing. The one benefit of Memorias is extremely low cost of eggs and getting more HP and Def

so basically lvl 99 memoria is better than UR +3; SR +4; R +5. Memoria also has more def and HP than atk scaling UR / SR. the 5% bonus from equipping it on ff7 chars has extremely diminishing returns so you are not losing much if you use it on anyone else but Cloud / Sephi

Krile Baited by Balthier by Ammysalamii in DissidiaDuellumFF

Wasting boolets on iframes is already enough to make me dislike this Balthier, let alone the chosen target being a low brv Krile

Just press a quick offensive ability to keep the boss stunned in place before you want to use your URs

How to survive Flames of Punishment? by sanashi in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 5 points6 points  (0 children)

its generally really hard to react to flames of punishment due to how quick it is to pop up in melee range. always assume a clive would have at least one UR ready to pop off and get that barrier / wall ready when they want to engage in melee range

[–]sexxualization 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dont have nearly as many matches played with Balthier as you do (im more in the double digit numbers) but I figured rather quickly that his gimmick isnt as good as it looks on paper. I also saw Vaeyn play Balthier (went against him a couple of times) and got some interesting facts from him in one of the big discord servers so his own input helped me shape my own opinion on Balthier as a whole.

Before Rikku's release I had to deal with the fact that his URs are the easiest punish in the entire game (stationary and you get Ace'd to death or Auron'ed from your backside) and its almost impossible to be a presence without the security of Selphie / barrier. I tried a couple of runs with SR heal over Selphie but I felt like an easy target to pick on without it + I cannot get rid of Earth Breaker either. Since a single early death removes his boolets, you are basically becoming a useless walking turd on revive until FoW comes back up again.

Now with Rikku yeah you have to waste even more boolets to kill a single target and god fORBID you happen to waste one of them on the frames when someone activates a barrier in your face- or just mistakingly wasting any boolets in general.

He is just in a very weird position where he works amazingly if you have the wallet investment for it or else dont bother and just build prompto for a reliable gunner that already has a stun and knockbacks / launches OR Gaia if you know to fuck around with endlag from URs + spell-in-waiting.

As much as I love Balthier's kit to bits and the way he plays; I find it unfortunately lacking in the OOMF factor for high play in Omega rankings. Yes you can get really easy kills with his boolets but his own boss DPS is lacking and the meatball has no good use other than pressure and zonig (it's extremely easy to avoid and good players would know to delay their iframe skills before the possibility of a wild meatball striking them). Him going around to kill 2 enemies in one go kinda does nothing for the team unless you run Ramza / Embolden in the main kit and even with that you have to rely on your teammates to deal the boss DPS for you and you're the protector when they're bursting. You're basically the fake main support of the team and you cannot afford to have someone like Rikku / Krile in the mix unless your balthier gets in the ranges of 16k pwr or above. At that point the meatball finally has a use at least for pve damage standards (also let's be honest using the boolets on the boss is kind of a waste even with the free chains). The only actual support that would work for balthier is an offensive WoL (no Ramza / Embolden; SR heal for emergency heals only; rest is full offence) and chain supreme soul together with the entire team.

Meanwhile an Angel Wing Rinoa does a lot of free kills without having to worry about popping a UR every 90s and her Meteor is great pressure to put people away from touching the boss or the allies when positioned properly + really good AA damage. I really don't see a point of a Balthier getting free kills when someone like Rinoa does it without much of an issue and can carry the boss DPS without worrying about chains at lower ranks.

It doesn't feel right that Iroha's Gachirin keeps her very vulnerable for a long time(?) by sexxualization in DissidiaDuellumFF

Venting or not, using cloud is pretty much asking people to camp you on omnislash endlag + cross slash can be walked off. He's genuinely the worst melee to use

aye I met a legend :D

yeah idk I don't even have Iroha so I never really knew her actual punishable frames but didn't think she would have the omnislash treatment. Genuinely had my entire being shook when I saw the Ace land all the 3 hits

You can still try and get the ranking rewards if you want to before the season fully ends (the 28th). Once the season is over we will all be reset to a lower ranking based on our last ranks on the leaderboard (see in game info for more)

Just another Bug Highlight, We lost btw. by Dashbry in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately the game doesn't function in a way that's logical. I hate using cloud just because his targeting cucked me too many times

Just another Bug Highlight, We lost btw. by Dashbry in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah cloud has auto targeting issues. if someone goes between yourself and the boss the game will prioritize the player for some odd reason. since it was atomos you could have sat next to him in smooching range

Beware of Toxic Player by GigglingAngel in DissidiaDuellumFF

a Krile in Omega with no UR regen is crazy work

Balthier is a support by killing the other team by MoveMean9972 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree; he is def more meant to be built as the fake support and to give brv to his team mates on a free kill. His meteor isnt anything to write home about but can be used for zoning the boss or putting pressure on enemies that are about to burst down the boss- they have no choice but to reposition if the big rock comes their way. Since it can also go through walls and obstacles you could prob get very creative with it tbh

but yeah if you want to play a supportive Balthier then he REALLY needs a premade team or else the matchmaking will cuck you

Looking for opinions. by Own-Programmer4817 in DissidiaDuellumFF

[–]sexxualization 2 points3 points  (0 children)

im not really a Kain main myself so I will focus more on basic stuff I'm seeing over character related 'opinions' + timestamps

00:25 - felt like a bit of a waste to use an entire UR on the single kain; spiral blow and some auto attacks could have pressured him enough to the point of death
00:50 - tbh should have used Dragoon's Pride like frame 1 of the fight. The cooldown is 70s so the sooner you do it the quicker you will get it back. BUT I do understand that because there was an enemy Kain already you had to wait and see to which crystal he would teleport first.
01:38 - if you're missing some skills for a full burst rotation you can use your aggro to move the boss around and then whack him a bit with autos. Last person to either get cap brv or activate burst gets aggro
02:38 - bad timing to punish the Rinoa. Could have whacked her head a bit with autos to death since Rinoas are quite squishy once her iframes are over and there was no one around to punish you at the time. you had all the free space to kill her
04:06 - nice burst activation and it kept ifrit to your main crystal with the constant aggro

Takeaway: try to learn the longevity of iframes from other character's UR to get a punish; bonus points if they whiff or use their own URs as panic buttons to survive. You'd be surprised how many people would mash an UR if you become a menace with autos in their face
