From my understanding, this is not your typical dungeon. There's no EX mode. Each brother has a dungeon and the levels range from classic to elite.

I completely boned myself first time through carrying too much magic and couldn't even beat negator. I too had low life guys who wiped on the second Gatling gun. Second time zero magic full retaliate and thundara strike for the medals. Don't get too cute was the lesson I learned,

Summoner gets his 2nd RM on the 1st battle in this new event.
Oh yeah! Now fuck off you useless piece of crap.

Did a 3 pull and got a Mystery Veil! I'm not complaining... that AoE Cure shared SB will be awesome!
Also got a Main Gauche and a Defender, which I've combined to give two new 5*s! A pretty good pull...

Is it worth using Tyro? I use him for reviving and boosting characters.

Had a good 11-pull. I was hoping for Edgar's weapon but I've always been hurting in the 5-star armor department, so this fills out my weak areas quite nicely.
Decent enough fist weapon too... So I'll have something a bit better for Red and Josef. One day I'll get a good dagger that just covers my bases.

I ain't pullin' until lightning sama
He is useful in utility roles like that when you can't fit the abilities or equipment you need on anyone else. His stats are average to bad all around, though.

i think that'll be my plan. need that shellga thang.
Got Summoner's RM2 during the easiest levels of Sabin/Edgar event. Ooooh yeah. Now back to the bench forever you maggot!
Also, new balance changes for FFXIII characters for the next JP event. Long story short: they're trying to make Snow actually good.
Still hoarding my Mythril for the celebration banners. I should be able to do four 11x pulls if I'm lucky (though Sazh's weapon is enough an incentive to maybe make me do a 11x pull for his banner... Mrgrgr. If his weapon was part of the celebration banners, I wouldn't even think about doing this).

I did it somehow...got it to eat a power breakdown and then defended with those two until I got rid of the negator. Very close call though. Dungeon mastered....eventually.

Jesus, Ultros hits really hard on Sabin's event for my lv 20-30 mages

Has anyone else sold off their one star elemental magic and physical attacks like blade bash body slam and salve? I'm leaning towards that, can't foresee them being useful again and if they were can be easily crafted
Ben Morales

Yeah, I did that a while back. I only kept stuff like Blindna. Like you said, can be easily crafted if they are ever required.

Give us Mythril, DeNa!
Yeah he surprised me since his trash was so easy. Wasn't expecting his aoe to hit for over 1k.
Fortunately had magic and power breakdown on the crappy b team I was using.

Super late but FFVIII event done. Used a refresh in the boss rush (overall lost I think 9 medals, might have been 8) after Elvoret (RW used here and on X-ATM092...in the past I've suggested saving them for BGH251F2 but blinding that makes that fight long though easy...even rushing X-ATM I still lost 2 medals for damage ). Could have possibly done better by being smarter with who had what abilities (Quistis got a level up right before Seifer but Vivi was left doing nothing for much of Seifer). I'd egged Selphie to level 50 so I could use WM RM2 (I've had this for a short time but it is becoming a real crutch and easy to see why). Seifer was a pretty close call though. Abilities exhausted, no healing left.
The sorceress on the other hand...nasty piece of work. I was using the superboost/advance wars/advance+boost+retaliate (whatever you call it) strategy. She has so much HP some attempts ended with both uses of advance running out and she was still standing. Despite the constant risk of dispell (my understanding is there are two versions one that takes up her turn and a counter one which does not) I think I might have been better off going with Yuna instead of Tidus so I could use Carbuncle and Kirin (as Quistis could support). Others were killed by bad timing. Well I got there in the end somehow.
So, what am I doing now? Fisherman's horizon to fight a much weaker BGH251F2 than the one I just beat.
I also sorter my following list a bit. Down to 30, five of which are Advance. Whenever I see Advance on the list I feel compelled to use and with numbers like those it is likely.

yeah, my BM and Summoner was having none of it. Had to retreat and redo the level with a better party.

what levels are you guys tackling the hard dungeons for Sabin?
Remember the guy who did a ton of 11 pulls on the FFVIII banner? He's back and doing more pulls for the FFVI banner! It just hurts to watch
I'm speechless.

Some of us just like FFVI! But you know, any 5-star item is better than no 5-star items. Or 4-star items.
But we're talking about 5* items from other banners vs 5* items from this banner (assuming your luck is exactly the same), not 5* items from this banner vs no 5* items.

I like Sabin and Edgar a lot so I'm tempted to do a pull, but I'm gonna hold off. To me it's not so much getting a good weapon/piece of gear, it's getting ones for the characters I like. Obviously good general gear is important, but it's the characters themselves that draw me to the game.
That's why I'm not pulling on the Lightning/Sazh banner, because I don't particularly care for either of them.

i wonder how much that guy makes per month to throw that amount of cash at this game almost every week.
At some point you have to figure $0 and he's just filthy rich to begin with D:

That last pull though, that's a pull of dreams.

I have 25 vi equips, 13 weapons, 12 armors. Ridiculous. I need to dump some of it, especially the 3* swords that are just taking up space. Why did I bother combining these junk spears and fist? oh, cause I didn't realize that Edgar can equip that free zantetsuken.
Got a 4*+ Maneater, a 3*++ Main gauche, a 4* Swordbreaker, a 4* Crystal Sword, a 5* Zantetsuken, a 4* Gravity Rod... Yeah, good weapons for this event aren't a problem for me.
