Ick, so it's just a random chance thing regardless?

Vincent's Shortbarrel
any tips in using Vincent? I'm planning on using him for CM mission, just never used him before. Is he magey?
So far... Cait Sith's megaphone, Aerith BSB rod, Zack's BSB and Yuffie BSB.
Just need last spot and have Barret's bracer+++ or Vincent's barrel gun. Both lv50's but I could egg one of them to 65 for CM battle

Personally use him as a dark mage (MM/DZ).
Unfortunately. It's not that bad, though.
He's a mage with terrible defensive stats but darkness/support access. Pretty good overall; Shortbarrel's SSB is very powerful.

The scorpion can go to all hell. Luckily I had a good amount of Lightning Resist stuff but that AoE Stop was incredibly annoying.
Genesis was piss easy compared to that, not a single Medica needed.
Have yet to beat an U++ battle but I'll try Bahamut later.

What's a good AoE ability i can use to easily clear exp daily? Would like to start doing it with just 2 people where one carries the other but I'll need a good aoe to wipe the round in 1 hit

Mage would be ruinaga.
I haven't bothered making any of the physical AoE though.
Yeah, I bit the bullet and made Curaja for the first WM Nightmare. It's worth it to survive those first hits that are hard.
Maybe I'll try again. I just couldn't get it with Faris as support, but I can't survive if I try to stack an FF7 DPS team.

Does he have an instant KO attack?

So don't bring death accessories like you did??
Exaflare is a gravity attack, instant death resist will work on it.

I guess I don't understand this mechanic - gravity attacks can be mitigated by instant-death accessories the same way that say, lightning attacks can be mitigated by lightning-resist accessories?
Yes, is counter intuitive but its the only way of mitigating this attacks.

Another milestone reached. Bless Fury Brand, my god it helped a ton. Tyro had Full Break and a newly honed R4 Curaja to help out with healing. The interrupt from Light's BSB stuck just at the right moments.

Kinda.
Gravity isn't an element like lightning. The game treats it as a status effect (i.e. like blind) that causes you to immediately take a fixed % of your current or max HP in damage. The effect's chance to hit is measured against instant KO resistance, so if you have instant KO resistance accessories equipped it can miss. However, you won't take reduced damage like with elemental resistance; the attack will either miss or hit for the full effect.
Rydia, all other things being equal.

Out of those, you can safely ditch BM. The rest depend on what relics and record synergy you have. And nostalgia value, I guess.
I used Reno for the longest time in VII realms and he was solid, especially since he has a decent physical attack for autoing. But there are a lot better ones out there since his MAG isn't quite up there. The moment I got Vincent's SSB he went to the bench.
Haven't used Shan or Rydia a lot but people really like Rydia. I believe she also has 5* Summon and some basic WHM access. Shan supposedly has high MAG and even 4* monk for some reason but XI is a rare realm to be fightning in.
I'd go with Rydia if I were you.

Yes, you absolutely should. But as far as actually using them in higher level content, no-no. They have no real value for stats nor do they have high level relics specifically for them (some 4* stuff with Unique SBs in the main campaign but nothing to write home about). Level them on Sundailies (or egg them) for RMs but use better chars for actual progress and events.
I mean, there are a few players who use nothing but cores for a challenge but they are eesentially high level players looking for an additional challenge. You're ways away from that.

Accomplished a new milestone after coming back to FFRK
Cleared my first CM!
I wasn't sure if a lv50-ish party could do it, but I had good equipment synergy and BSB's
Red XIII in party to alternate hastega and boostga SB's with wrath so I could RW Tyro wall, because of crappy HP pool. Yuffie was MVP with triple stacked atk buff, (SB boostga str/mnd, steal power and burst steal atk/def)
Screenie time

I think that I will pass. I have SG, Shout, OK BSB, Focus, Braska's MAG boost and some more. Will need to look up the list.
The banner also seems to have regular SBs inside, good if you want a chance to SG or Thyrus bad if you already have wall.
But may be a 25 mythril option for OK Burst at least if you dont have it.
I have OK, Shout and wall so Ill pass. And even if you dont have wall theres thyrus as a common relic on the XIV banner.

Wondering if I should pull on that banner tomorrow...we're so close to the OSB fest!
Don't do it! Dena trying to rob you before the fest!

I'll pull on it, half priced and garunteed character relic at worst is another stat stick or a 6*+ on something good I already have. I really don't care about osb fest all in for TG Cid banner

Man I just did the 90 stamina exp daily and 6/9 of the total rounds were magic pots, lol
Hate those pots. Wish they could give, oh you know, major eggs. As is the pots are fucking worthless on xp day.
Same as dailies if my memory serves me. Get that stamina up to make the most out of refreshes during the fest!
cpp_is_king
Member
Is it not worth it for the greater egg?
*chance* at a greater egg. For the most part greater eggs are a drop in the bucket for going 80 to 99. Pots on all other days can drop major orbs, should be able to drop major eggs.

Hmm
Maybe I should use more eggs

I guess what I mean is, isn't any kind of egg better than no kind of egg? It seems like even if it drops a regular egg, it's still worth more than having gotten a regular round of trash mobs. Or does the magic pot lower the exp you get at the end of the round, negating it?
Just upset that they can't drop major eggs.

Ahh yea no argument there! Is there another tier of dailies in jp yet?

Cid Mission Ultimate+ done. It felt nice to trot Red XIII out with the OG SB, Lunatic High, plus Aerith tossing around Planet Protector. Just like 2015! Add in Zack calling in air strikes, and it wasn't too bad.
There are. Theyre good too, so something to look forward to.
yeah lately theyve just introduced some annoying mechanics to classic U battles, is nice to increase a bit the difficulty of U battles, because before you could just faceroll over them, but mechanics like the scripted stop or first turn magitek laser into healer S/L is not the way. Thats annoying not rewarding.
We are in a moment where U+ battles are easier than U, because U+ are super easy if you dont do Cid Missions nowadays.

Tyro USB is far and I dont even know if it works to stop this (Affliction Break cant stop it).
