After thinking about it and getting advice on reddit decided to pull on the first FF9 banner; I've been complaining on here about having shit FF9 synergy for like 8 months and my A-Team is good enough where even if I got Firion's BSB it wouldn't be so dramatically better than anyone I have now on my A-Team that it's worth pulling on that banner just for that. For reference the entirety of my FF9 synergy was an Asura's Rod, Oak Staff, Mace of Zeus, Pinwheel+, a 3++ vest, a 4+ vest, and a generic 5* vest.

I'm glad I decided to pull :D

Realized I had no FF2 synergy either and did a triple pull, got Minwu's SSB... twice lol.

Then did 2 single pulls and got Leon's BSB

Finally beat the U++ boss, no CM though as it was tough enough with a non synergy team

Team

P.Cecil - Lifesiphon/Saint Cross - BSB - Ace Striker
Tyro - Lifesiphon/Multi Break - SG - Mako Might
Celes - Firaga Strike/Drain Strike - Indomitable Blade - Unbreakable Spellblade
Rosa - Curaja/Shellga - Divine Heal - Knight's Charge
Ramza - Lifesiphon/Fire Veil (7* Fairy Flute FTW) - Shout/BSB - Dr. Mog

RW - Eiko BSB

Even with this setup I had to S/L a few times. CM-ing this is not worth 3 Power Orbs

Do we pretty consistently get a MC3 lode every event going forward? I broke Luneth on the first one for RM purposes, but now I'm torn between Terra, Cloud, Squall, Vaan, Lightning, Ramza and Tyro since I have good stuff for all of them, and the latter 4 are usually in my A-Team.
 
Breezed through the FFII event like it was nothing, and I only have one weapon with synergy. I wish they unlocked the MC3 battle from the start so I could just clear that and be done with it!

Yes but don't think we get a blank with onion or fft event

Should be in the next 3 days. I have so few debuff relics that I will pull for sure! I wouldn't mind Faris first bow either, could make it a +++! However, I can easily see how this could be an easy skip for a lot of people.

ooh, nice.

To be honest I think that unless you're someone who has either whaled hard or is god-tier lucky half-off banners are almost always worth pulling.

Got unlucky on the last lucky draw and drew Hope's Airwing which is on this banner lol. 2/44 and I want Kaiser Shield, Orichalcum Dirk, Artemis Bow, and Orichalcum. Green Megaphone or Riot Blade would be nice too.
I guess it doesn't hurt since its half off compared to the previous lucky banner.

FFII banner 1:

100 gems: 3* trash
11 pull: Leon's Burst, Minwu's Medica, and Leila's dagger!

This game loves to give me all the relics for certain characters. I now have all of Leon's relics, as well as all of Relm's and all of Edgar's.

I need to find out how to build Leon for the most SB generation possible so I can use all of his SB's in the CM fight. Well if the boss doesn't use much ST attacks maybe i can skip using Darkborn Blade.

I have a good amount of debuff stuff already, but I can't imagine skipping anything that's half price, especially with the guarantee in place now.

It might be a good idea to save some mythril for the WoFF collab if we are getting it at the same time as Japan, since the relics there will likely be of current Japanese power creep quality
 
No Lucky Draw banner tonight. It was datamined for today but it looks like everything is pushed back by one day now. Surprised that they want to release it at the same time as FFII banner 2... Maybe they will push it to Monday.

It might launch with the Mote dungeon since that's what happened in the Japanese version.

How much would you recommend doing a 11-pull in FFII banner for Firion's sword?

I already have Selphie's dreamstage but I tend to use her bsb moreso for free healing and would like to have someone with melee bsb + magic blinker that I can put lifesiphon onto

EDIT: btw just won my first nightmare, crushdown. Easier than I thought but I'm used to boss gimmicks from FFXI and FFXIV lol

See below.

- THE FIRST RULE OF FIGHT CLUB IS: Never, ever pull relics (especially with cash) with the intent of getting a specific item.
 
Curada boss was rough. I ended up rolling this team out to win:

Beatrix with ssb, protecga dispel
Yuna Bahamut r3 valefor r5 hotf, one of the wmage attack rms
Yshtola curaja Diara ssII
Tyro phantasm r4 gustr4 ninja boost rm, wall and bsb thing
Rosa curaga Shellga ssb

All but Beatrix had a major or moderate resist fire

Rw was sephiroth Bsb

Painful but championed. 3 Magic blinks obviously make this frontal assault more than viable, though I don't think I actually used tyros.
 
Man, the past two U++s really hammered home to me how great Magic En-Element BSBs are.

This was super easy due to Vivi's BSB commands + my great FFIX synergy.

SBs Used: RW Vivi BSB, Garnet's SSB, Eiko w/ Shared Medica.

Round 1: Garnet SSB, Vivi RW, Kuja MM, Eiko Shellga, Quina FB #1.
Round 2: Garnet Faith to Vivi, Vivi AoE Burst command, Kuja RW, Eiko Curaja, Quina FB #2.
Round 3+: Healers keep team healed, Bursters DPS, Quina keeps fools broken.
Win.

I refreshed the SSB / Shellga upon the twins defeat and used Shared Medica after the first Meteor struck. Vivi ran out of BSB near the end and used Chain Firaga twice. Kuja got one hit of Flare off to end the battle.

that puzzling face
Man that fight without wall (went offensive RW) is a massive 'burn-his-ass-before-he-burns-yours' race.

Meltdown hitting for 30000 x 2 when dualcast procs is p sweet tho.

It seems so weird we're getting a Debuff lucky banner as well as this:

Looks like the WoFF characters/their equipment is of the "Gaiden" Realm, essentially a Realm of spin off titles, so I bet there is going to be more collabs in the future. And the characters weapons are the Mirage themselves. I wonder if they have a unique attack animation

I imagine his burst commands are literally using Ifrit to attack

Curada overlaps crystals with Meltdown, I wouldn't recommend it. So does Lifebane, which is the Monk ability from the 5 dooms. Lifebane is only good if you can stack atk buffs, as you need ~750 atk to do 4 hits and ~1100 atk to do 5 hits. I have managed to reach 5 hits with Sabin (the only one i unlocked 6* Monk on), but that was with strong RS, Dragoon's Determination RM, and stacking RW Shout and native HotE. Also despite having the redonkulous atk needed to reach 5 hits, the hits were not doing 9999 each. They were around 6k each. 30k dmg is nothing to sneeze at, but the setup required to get there is a lot when Meltdown can reach it much more easily.

Cut it fairly fine with the IX CM. Might not look like it but Kuja was my damage output with RW Hope BSSB. Vivi had no abilities left, Quina had one Full Break left but back row and the other two had only healing. 9999x4 while his counter was on 0.

Have my Hope BSSB still up if anyone wants to do the same. Going to throw a 5+++ garnet wizard rod on him in a bit. Should help with initial damage. 9fRE

EDIT: No idea why the image isn't loading. Also, apologies. He hasn't fully learned it yet so have to leave his weapon as is. By the time I've the stamina to learn it the event will be over. On the bright side I did a single pull and got Leons BSSB. He'll be fairly decked out with that and his 5+ Golden Armour. Might manage the CM.

So, when do we think Onion Knight is going to drop? I want to make sure I have a couple hundred mythril save for the day. December?
 

Razmos

I really hope there isn't a lucky draw haha, I want to save up 50 mythril for the WoFF banner but a half price pull would be too tempting.
 
U++ for IX hit like a truck with Keeper's Tome and Stonewall up, lord.

I managed to finish it by a thread, I probably should have gone in with a plan.

Black Crystals are extremely rare though (the rarest of all types to date, alongside Summon), you can't even get Meltdown to R2 in Japan yet unless you subject yourself to absolutely insane grinding.

Once Sabin's 40%+ Monk Damage RM is released, Lifebane really becomes something special.
 
Banner 1 100 gems, Firion BSB.

Banner 2 100 gems?

Forgot what it was doing, that thing is great! Joseph can Lifesiphon and Wrath for 40% AoE HP spam!

My 100 gems stats are slooooowwwwly getting closer to normal.

I got my NINTH FF6 4* Crystal Helm from the 100 gem pull lol.

I have no 5++ gear, but I have a decent amount of 4++ stuff but nothing has really stuck out at me as something that I should reforge but I'm sitting on three of these goddamn Crystal Helm++'s, maybe I should just do these >_>.
