The unmitigated explosion didn't even kill level 22 Irvine so it wasn't that crucial to prepare for it. The only concern would be losing medals, but the painting isn't hard enough for that to be a big issue.
Slow is a good idea if you're going to try to kill it before it explodes though. The thing has at least 50k HP and explodes on its fifth turn I believe.

Awesome, thanks.
I think he's pretty useful as a support character, he's like the FFVIII version of Wakka in this game, but you're right that we do need better access to some gun weapons. They should of at least given us one as a dungeon reward or something.
The last time I've seen something like this was Knight's Helm around the 2nd dungeon update, nothing in 3rd/4th
There are more core classes coming our way tho, no idea if they also come with 4* soul break gear
edit: forgot to mention I'm excited for Samurai, be cool setting up a full core team with retaliate samurai w/ decked out weapon to make up for mediocre damage output from this party lol

All the currently available Core Class characters except Warrior and Tyro have had their SB relics released as dungeon rewards already. And since Tyro's are 5* and Warrior was a promo character, they're a bit different. (Warrior still hasn't been re-released in Japan, and hasn't gotten any Crystals/RMs yet either.)
I imagine when we get more Core Class characters we'll get more SB relic dungeon rewards for them.
Oh wow, I love the switch in music at the Missile base to Only a Plank between One and Perdition.
I am a little disappointed they didn't use The Mission for the Garden part though I guess I understand since they skipped the finding Cid part.
Also ew at their laziness using Magitek facility for FH.

That bomb/Steiner elite is no joke. I had to burn pretty much every ability I had just to get rid of the bomb before it exploded.
I think I'm finally hitting the wall that shows me I need to start Orb farming and honing up all of my skills. While I can still 1shot early trash with my melee team, the stages with multiple bosses and tougher enemies are making the final bosses really drag. I'm supremely glad they extended the number of turns you can use before losing stars.
Looks like i'll be burning through and collecting characters/MC's, then taking off a whole week to just orb farm and hone. I definitely see why mages are favored in the JP version from this point on though. Melee just hits too soft. It's a shame too, because most of my favorite characters are melee.

I think I just answered my own question about weapons with light elemental increases. Kain equipped with the trident was doing around 2000 damage with Attack on enemies in Barheim Passage (XII), until he hit the Battery Mimic's which are weak to ice, doing 3000 damage. It didn't come up saying "Vulnerable" but I think it does count.
I really think you're better off letting it explode. It won't come close to killing you even if you take it unmitigated, so you can just friend summon Tyro and defend until it blows up and it will hardly hurt at all.

Grats! I want Celes's sword so bad... I must NOT spend money on pulls, must not, must not... 55 minutes to hold on for! This weapon will not be back for months and months... 54 minutes to go, doing good!
Edit: made it, only tried with my 5 last Mythrils and I got a shitty 3* that I don't need (already have a 3++ version of it that I will never use). I hate how the freakin relics not in banners are at 0.01% or something...

3 4 stars on 3 pull. One turned into 5. I'll take it.
XII doesn't really have battle themes, though. Just for boss battles.

Really need a FFXI realm so I can hear those sweet Naoshi Mizuta battle themes!
I don't think we'll get any Final Fantasy XI dungeons. There's so much story with all the nation stories, expansions, and add-ons that there would be more paintings for XI than all the other games combined.

Thank you Giant's Axe for making these remaining FFV elites extremely easy.
I can't wait to give him his hat.
Oh I know. I'm just saying it's interesting they can just follow right into the battle when there's a couple parts in RK that could have been better doing the same thing.
Hah nice! I never actually pulled Irvines hat so he'll be incomplete for me.Thank you Giant's Axe for making these remaining FFV elites extremely easy.

I got both of those 5*'s from single pulls. They're good. Except that coat's soul break is almost certainly crap compared to the basic soul break of whoever you're putting it on.

Knowing your luck, you'll get it from the Squall banner along with every other FFVIII relic.Hah nice! I never actually pulled Irvines hat so he'll be incomplete for me.
I think it would be a good piece of armor for Terra or Vanille if you don't have their SB gear. Terra's base SB is terrible. (Rydia would be another one too.)

It's actual fairly bad armor for the fixed version of Irvine.
I typically have Vivi wearing it. I kinda wish it made his sprite change.
I know, I'm just a huge VIII fan and want all the gear.
It would be amazing if Vivi had his cowboy hat on.
Here's hoping! I should have 4 11 pulls saved for Squalls banner.Knowing your luck, you'll get it from the Squall banner along with every other FFVIII relic.

Thats a pretty good pull.
The worst thing about that pull is that other than those 5* items and that 4* hammer, I've already got duplicates of everything else in that pull. I guess I'll be combining and making some more + gear.
Nothing wrong with that.
I love getting duplicates for that reason. My 5* can all be fake, I'm not fancy.Yeah. Lenna isn't a white mage by default either.
Refia is in her monk outfit as well, it's just a little less overt.
EDIT: More to the point, the game seems to be sticking the FF3 and FF5 casts into the same distinct jobs:
Freelancer: Luneth, Butz
White Mage: Arc, Lenna
Monk: Refia, Galuf
Don't think JP has Ingus, Faris or Krile yet.

Yeah, protags as Freelancers, other characters as a job that suits them. Pretty cool IMO. (They actually had a Knight sprite for Bartz early on, but they went with Freelancer.)
Ingus and Faris have sprites made (Faris actually has two sets) but have not been released yet. No Krile yet IIRC.

Oh yeah, you're right. Kinda messes up the theme they had going, but makes sense for his abilities.

Mythril refills and crazy time schedules I think.
I'm gonna take my time with the dungeons. I don't feel there's any rush yet. We're not on the every two week schedule Japan currently is.
Ahh didn't notice Refia. I thought it was her freelancer outfit cause it's a similar color scheme. I figured if they were going to do something like that it would have been Ingus: red mage, Arc: black mage, Refia: white mage as that was what they've shown in the III cg opening
That's true! I just want them done so I can finish boss rush from Garnet elite and then prepare for Squall event(if it ends up not him I'll be super disappointed) by getting Irvine levelled up and maybe even have enough mythril for a 5th 11 pull.

5th 11 pull....... O____________________________O
You don't mess around! Get it Wazzy.
You're also haven't slept in the past 48 hours.I only have like one dungeon and one boss left for Classics. I haven't used any mythril or money.

Have used about 4-5 mythril recharging stamina over the past couple of days. Have everything opened up and have beaten many elites. Think I'm at 106 1/5 stamina at the moment.
Any idea what and when the next event is?

Possibly Squall or a repeat of the Shinra event. The Tidus event ends soon so I'm sure we'll know in a few days.
