I used Haste/Faith on the event White Dragon - that served me pretty well.
I brought both Haste (Boon) and Faith and I still ran out of abilities. The trash mobs before it are tough and you usually need to use two spells to kill them (unless you go physical - I had all mage team)

Yikes - would Quake help on the trash?
EDIT - Remembering from the event - is the trash single-enemy dragons that have a ton of HP?

Sometimes I wonder why I waste my time S/L for 30 min on the ++, +++ battles.

Whenever I get to that point I realize that my strategy was not the right one - I'll exit out and re-do my party. Happened with both +++'s in the last two events (multiple times).
Yeah, they have more than 9999 HP and mostly consists of those annoying dragons. I only got two floors with two enemies. The rest were all single enemies that require two spells to kill

Yeah. I use and abuse the advantaliate strategy that's my main problem.
I had cloud on my team since day 1, I'm more of a melee guy, I don't like spending my orbs on magic lol and that's the problem, I get nuked before I get all my mitigations up.

Yeah these elites are something. I've finished the IV and v elites and am now deciding on which of the remaining to tackle first. I was stamina inefficient overnight unfortunately.
I find myself way over reliant on the polymorph rod to get back ability uses, particularly on bosses like the two IV elites. And I have pretty reasonably honed abilities, exp levels, and equips. I do need to take my ja spells to r4, hopefully through the orb fest, perhaps that will help. Polymorph allows for a looser playstyle and setup, one that will eventually bite me in the ass.
Assuming I can get through these dungeons in the next 12 hrs or so, I'm hoping to farm one major earth from the wall to craft barrage. Really curious to try that out with an advantalite guy.
In an alternate universe, Josef's rm2 dropped after an investment of a mere 34 stam spread over two battles in a dungeon. Wtf, I'll take it, no days of stam blowing needed this time.

I'm on the Shifting Sands elite dungeon in FFV. I'll let you know how the bullshit gimmick boss goes when I S/L my way past these bullshit trash mobs that hit you with an AoE spell the second the battle starts and the fucking imps that absorb all elements.
EDIT: Also I just realized I forgot to equip a record materia to Josef. grrr
EDIT2: I also forgot to change Rinoa's weapon back from the Light Rod to the Valkyrie (I was just doing FFIII dungeons)

I don't know if I dare attempt Dark Bahamut elite with Advantaliate. Classic version was a breeze. Maybe with my Yuna instead of Y'shtola so I can get Hymn of the Fayth up asap. I do about 9500 damage per countered hit with Cloud with Advance and Boost up (or rather, I did against White Dragon elite)

Since I could top off everyone to full HP with Aerith's SB(not the best healing SB but it helps me again and again, <3 my Aerith) on the last trash before the battle with Bahamut, my run went fairly well thanks to a perfect timing on dispel and a few lucky counter flare. I finished with 2 bioga left on Vivi and 1 dispel/reflect. It was an intense fight and I came out with mastery. No advantaliate so far on new Elites, I am happy.
However, I feel like I need a few R4 aja(only have waterja at R4) and at least one more good MAG weapon to feel confident with my mage party for the future. I have something good going on and I saved plenty of Mythrils to strengthen that with Orbfest!

I have no 13 gear and have been able to clear all 13 content so far. Follow an event guide, and the dungeon version is even easier.

5 shards away from being done with this update.
Random tip I stumbled upon. In the case of Owzer's mansion apparently due to how Chadarnook swaps forms if you have at least four party members doing >8000 damage each to the demon form that will trigger the form switch and as such it will never get an attack in.
<100 posts away from |OT2|. Did we ever decide on a subtitle? Keeping in line with this thread could The only law here is Murphy's law work?

Nicely done.

Besides deciding on a subtitle, have we had someone step up to actually do the OP?
I may be dumb and have missed a post with this answered already >_>.

You'll have to get Kimahri in their somewhere given how much everyone here loves him 
Speaking of which, all this Record Keeping made me go and order the HD remaster of FF X/X-2 for the PS4. I never played the sequel back in the day, or beat the superbosses of the original so will be interesting to see how it holds up. At this rate I'll be seeing ATB bars in my sleep by the end of the year.

Real talk, Square Enix could probably have done this without the gacha and made bank selling the nostalgia. Except
1) RIP dena's $$$
2) that FF6 iOS version help

I nominate Falk.
Um. Did they rollback FFRK at some point or something?
Game is saying I haven't completed Kingdom Reborn +++
Bizarre as all hell. (No, I'm not confusing it with the painting version)
edit: Shellga i.e. RES SHOULD affect MND based attacks. That's why Mental Breakdown makes Diaga hurt.

All magic attacks are resisted via RES, so Shell will work, though Holy Dragon has dispel and Holy is not randomly targeted so you can't really rely on it. Your best bet is a mage team with sleep and poison.
Ah right, you're right about Shelgga. Also I completely forgot about Poison - I should definitely have brought that as I could probably have mastered it had I brought that. Sleep Buster missed pretty much every single time. Only landed it very rarely in my many tries to beat it. Will try again once I have Terra's MC

I've decided to leave the last two elites for the end of the orb event to get a free half stam bar. That and having hopefully a few additional hones and a maxed exp party to reduce a bit of the annoyance.

Is there any chance that we will be getting a Lock MC during the Terra event? I have his SB weapon but having him stuck at level 50 makes me never use him

The person targeted with Holy can also use the defend command to have a better shot at surviving. Still regarding the shell advice wouldn't dispel get rid of shell?
I'm tempted to have Sephiroph as retaliator here despite being much weaker than Auron or Cloud due to being unable to equip Zantetsuken so I can better mage meta that boss (no lugging low use summons or meteor around) and have Sephiroph with Poison/Retaliate.

No chance. He is 9 events away including tonight's.

These Coerls and their counter blasters. Them and the Medusas - such a pain the trash in these FF4 elites lol, im wondering if i should just keep revive on someone in case of such hijinx whilst clearing these elites.
Yes, which is why sleep is probably the best plan.
Carbuncle will largely cause the trash to kill itself. It's Fanatic's Tower, after all.
Okay, gave Holy Dragon another shot - this time with Venom Buster on board. S/L'ed until Venom Buster managed to poison it with the first shot and managed to master it with NO MEDALS LOST

RNGesus was on my side this time. ALSO NEXT DUNGEON UPDATE HAS RED XIII MC! YESSS
It also helped that Sleep Buster put him asleep TWICE!

So lame. One of the only character specific RWs I have and I can't even use him.
I'm in the same boat, and it sucks because he finally has good Celerity and Thief abilities he can use as well. I'll probably still end up using him in the event, but it's gonna suck that he's stuck at level 50.
Anyway, I had some stamina to kill so I went in the heroic daily for the first time in forever. 4 runs and I didn't get any 4* orbs, that's totally worth fighting enemies that deal around 2000 damage in a single attack and have AoE spells, yeah. Now I remember why I don't care about dailies.
Hahaha I have Vanille's. I FEEL YOUR PAIN.
Except Hope's event is in like two weeks.
Just did the Barthandelus fight in the FFXIII classics. I'm not even sure how I won, I was just rocking out to Fighting Fate and occasionally tapping the screen, such an amazing battle theme.
