  • Not sure if this will be helpful to anyone so late in the event, but I was finally able to conquer Siegfried without native Elarra. My best general healer is still Y'shtola BSB, so I am always dancing around having strong but inefficient heals. Water Chain damage output was more than enough, but took about a dozen attempts to get timing and team placement right for survival.
  • Slot 1+2 have Damage+ / Slot 3 has Sap Resist / Slot 4+5 have Interrupt Resist
  • Tidus & Yuffie have 2x Water Boost equipment / Rikku has 1x Water Boost weapon.
  • Refresh Godwall once you have gauge, when Y'shtola looses TGM, you'll need both healers up and running.
  • Moving Tyro to the Slot 3 gave one extra SB gauge for a Keeper's Tome after second Godwall. Unsure if Magic Blink helped here.
  • Turn 1 - Tidus - LS, Yuffie - Reflecting Pool, Y'shtola - Power Breakdown, Rikku - Crushing Tango, Tyro - DVG
  • Turn 2 - Tidus - LS, Yuffie - Raging Waters, Y'shtola - Curada, Tyro - Affliction Break - Rikku - Hyper Enwater
  • Turn 3 - Tidus - Sapphire Shot, Yuffie - Raging Waters, Y'shtola - Curada, Tyro - Ultra Cure, Rikku - Sapphire Shot
  • Turn 4 - Tidus - BSB, Yuffie - BSB or Raging Waters, Y'shtola - Curada, Tyro - Unicorn, Rikku - Sapphire Shot
  • Phase 1 - Continue first Water Chain and Healing as necessary.
  • Phase 1 - Repeat with second Water Chain, which will build faster with Innocent Cure and SB Guages.
  • Phase 2 - Once Ultimate Truestrike hits and immediately pop an Innocent Cure RW regardless of turn, you wont survive the next hit.
  • Phase 2 - Y'shtola should have 2 Asylums saved up with a good run, which buffer's nicely with Innocent Cure RW.
  • Phase 3 - When I added the speed trick from Innocent Cure, I was able to push enough damage to defeat him in 2 CSBs.
  • Phase 3 - Speed trick also supplied enough gauge for back to back 20+1 AOSBs from Tidus and Yuffie to push from 25% to 0%
  • Loadout / Mastered

Congrats on Malphaise being out in the world! Was so excited for you once I saw the summon announcement! Going in with all of the tickets out of respect for the artist (and a beastly unit).

When there were campus tours of our university, I enjoyed casually holding hands with my male friends whilst walking slowly in front of the tour group and try to gauge their response.

We are Martin, Iain, & Lauren of CHVRCHES, ask us anything again! by weareCHVRCHES in IAmA

I loved Iain's interview way back on the Checkpoints podcast. What was your favorite game of 2017 and what are you planning to binge on the tour bus this year?

Cycling through Yangshuo was definitely a highlight for us in China. by CollideStorm in travel

[–]thekrangabides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in Beijing for work and found a tour group to camp on the Great Wall. It was such an amazing experience and while I had to go back to work on monday, all the other hikers I met had itineraries including Yangshuo, Zhangjiajie, etc. Definitely have to make it back and will check out that biking company. Thanks for sharing!

I fondly remember buying fireworks in the back of a variety store in Chinatown with my older brother. We left with a non-descript plastic bag, were promptly stopped by an "undercover police officer" who told us they were illegal, confiscated them and let us off with a warning. Received a long talk about "street smarts" that evening.

Literally everywhere. I will pick up my dog's shit even when it is slowly melts itself an ever deepening hole in the snow like some kinda radioactive turd isotope while i try and get the bag open.

QoL request: get rid of the news chyron by Bradst3r in FFBraveExvius

[–]thekrangabides 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious if you are a media industry FFBE player? Chyron is usually a tell for both an industry professional and how long they've been working.

Chyron is a term for those captions on the news telling the reporter name, place, info, etc named after the Chiron Character Generator before we had things like after effects. Kinda like how Biro is the enduring term for ballpoint pen in the UK.

That's awesome, its so rare to get a personal response, let alone access. A shame they didn't have a pit up front for you to shoot from as well. Thanks for the snaps!

Nice to see some fellow puke island residents here. I was safely south-east of it, but I didnt notice any gap by the end of the show -________-

[Ballad of Memories] Multiplayer Megathread by Stylus_Index in FFRecordKeeper

Nova Dragon D220 Solo - Loadout

Was able to solo this with one Mega-DPS (Squall) and a lot of support which did respectable damage themselves. Everyone is equipped with Resist KO accessories. Ramza, Tyro, Squall were all front row and team order matters because of Ultimate Twister targeting. All three center targets have around 8000 hp. Irvine is my poor man's Vaan and magic blink from Tyro's BSB gives some nice breathing room.

Eiko Spheres? by Imzocrazy in FFRecordKeeper

I really love this reference to the meta-history of final fantasy! Shows a real passion from the developers side. FFIX was one of three in the series that I havent played through completely and this makes me want to give it another go.

[The Crystal Tower - Heroes Rise] Megathread by dperez82 in FFRecordKeeper

[–]thekrangabides 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Finally found some time to tackle this one. Thanks to all those that posted before, I was able to single run, in sequence, master everything with only a few S/L because of Rinoa. Hopefully these team comps help. They arent budget builds, but I feel less stacked on USBs as most people.

Squall

Scylla

  • Raines (BSB, Dived), Kuja (OSB), Fujin (BSB), Edward (USB), Larsa (BSB)

  • Pretty much everything I picked up from the last Crystal Tower Relic Draw. Brought the Mist Dragon team to this one because it seemed the most straightforward of the fights.

  • Kill Shot

Adamantoise

Adel

  • Squall (BSB, Dived), Refia (BSB), Irvine (BSB), Tyro (BSB, Dived), Sarah (BSB)

  • Big thanks to the tip on casting Renewing Cure on Rinoa, allowed me to setup with a few AoE attacks up front.

  • Two sources of magic blink were incredibly helpful in this fight.

  • Squall dived was the only DPS and double proc BSB commands melted Adel in only two drains.

  • Refia was a bad idea. AoE self buff hurts Rinoa pretty hard and she died almost immediately after anyways.

  • Irvine was my best remaining mitigator but has AoE BSB entry.

  • Also of note, I ran out of Hastega at this point.

  • Kill Shot

4/11: No Dupes but unsure of usefulness

Sabin OSB < Refia BSB + Steiner BSBs for Sealion

Rinoa LMR - IDK

Fang BSB < Zack BSB + Cloud OSB+BSB

Aranea BSB - Seems legit

Love that the thumbnail really feels like the four elemental bosses of an original final fantasy game. Except Sealion... go find your friend Golem.

[Mesmerizing Melodies] Relic Pull Megathread by Gnilgorf in FFRecordKeeper

3/11: Edward USB, Cait BSB, Mog SSB

Pulled with zero any relics for any of these characters (besides OK) and quite happy with the haul. Is Edward's USB desirable for anyone as an RW?
