Meh, i don't need 2 healers, i complete all content with just Vanille. If Yuna can't take her place then i'll just stick with Vanille and continue using RW for 3rd faithga.

Yuna to me is more like one of those psuedo DPS who have some incremental healing while doing their normal thing. Seems some summoner/paladin types do that with some of their BSBs, like Ceodore and Garnet, and a few others like Rafa and Ashe. I'm not sure I'd use her as a main healer though, her BSB2 is definitely damage/buff focused.
Finally did it. Used about 40-50 mythril worth of refreshes, but I now have all non-core characters at level 65 or higher. Overall it was about 60 characters that I got from somewhere between 1 and 50 to 65
Orb wise, i started with 18 major summon, 10 major ice, and 76 major earth. Now I'm sitting at 116 major summon, 120 major ice, and 173 major earth.
Gil-wise, started at 6 million, now at 38 million.
I'd say that's pretty good for phase 1. I can never get enough ice and summon, so I could probably keep going, but I might chill out now and wait for phase 2.
Scored Penelo's and Eiko's USB as well as Garnet's BSB2 and Kuja's. I think I won't be pulling on the summer banners since I really only chasing healing BSB/USBs.
I'm completely skipping fest banners with my glorious sub 50 mythril. I have 4 dupes on every banner, probably more dupes after these LD's, so I'm all in on the FFVII banner. I just hope I can make it to 100 mythril by then.
Just going to put say that despite some people hating on this ability, it's actually quite a high DPS ability and comparable to everything else of it's rarity.
Rapid Fire has a multiplier of 3.5
Compared to other popular 5* abilities.
Saint's Cross has a multiplier of 3.4
Thief's Revenge has a multiplier of 3.5
All Spellblade Strikes have a multiplier of 3.2
Never has a problem with bumping into the damage cap. (Which is big as I commonly cap the above abilities sans TR, when RF goes over 20k)
It's also ranged and good Machinists like Laguna can equip a Sword for realm synergy and you can slap him in the back row for full damage.
The only downside is it's random targets, so this may be a problem in AoE fights when you want to focus fire (which then you can use Tempest Snipe).
Will do one pull for this fest on Banner 1, hoping for Garnet's BSB2 or a 6*. Will probably get a 1/11 Wizard Rod! .__.
expect a "called it" post later tonight!
After this I have 0 mythril so no Cloud USB for me. Next interesting relic would be Rikku's USB but the rest of the banner sucks. So yeah no pull for me until we get the next maintenance (except for LD)
A little preview for me to see for what I should save up for:
Banner 2 of the next FF VIII event seems nice. Ice Chain from Rinoa, new BSB for her, Fujin LMR and OSB, and Raijin SSB returns!
The FF VII event after Cloud's USB introduces Vincent's and Red XIII USB. So that's another banner I'm looking forward to for now.
Sometimes after this we should get our first real FF XV event. Completely new realm, which means every pull would be a win for synergy. Outside of that the Noctis stuff is pretty good and Iris' BSB seems great. (Cura heal + Stoneskin + Astra with the average healer bsb cmds.
With the XI event we get Aphmau with her USB (Instant cast, curaga, haste and Instant Cast 1 to party, Instant cast to party is always great!)
Then we should get a "fake?" fest for the magicite dungeons, which is an easy skip.
Up next is a new FF V event. Bartz's USB, triple cast LMR and BSB3 as well as Faris USB2, so many good things.
And another FF VI right before the next fest! Want Setzer's USB + LMR and Shadows USB.
30th anniversary fest: Really want Zidane's USB from Banner 3 and Banner 5 introduces Noctis and Alphinaud's USB which seems like great USBs.
Stuff that I may be interested after the 30th anniversary fest: Refia's USB, Edea USB, Kain USB, Tidus BSB2/USB, Paine USB and then we finally get the god banner: FFTA
So next pull may be on the FF VIII banner depending on how much mythril I have.
Must-pull events would be: FFXV (for synergy), V, 30th anniversary fest and FFTA.
No love for Rosa?
Her USB is SOOO good because she can wrath. HP stock and magic blink will protect you for the two turns you wrath to get the USB ready again!
It always depends on what you have. So it's hard to recommend something. If you don't have anything on Banner 4 then this would be a good banner to pull on. Otherwise the next FF VII event, which we will get on July 4th, is a great banner because it features Cloud's broken USB and some other stuff.
I went 4/11 - Yuffie USB, Yuna USB, Raines BSB (dupe), CoD SSB
Getting a dupe of the only item I had on the banner that I just got two weeks ago is crappy but the pull is great overall. Helps me out in FFX and I like Yuffie.
It's pretty good. Damage is decent and radiant shield is a nice thing to have on a BSB. You'll probably want to use the magic command the majority of the time, though. Vincent is squishy.
IMO Eiko's USB is a better package, with instant cast instead of Yuna's built-in raise. The problem with letting people die in the first place in this game is that when you raise them without buffs in place, they're as good as dead again anyway.

Without knowing your potential for dupes, I'd say Banner 4 is the best one overall. Vaan, Relm, and Alphinaud BSBs are game-changers. Lots of other great stuff like Fujin BSB, Zell BSB, and Deployment Tactics. Plus Terra's USB looks amazing.
Banner 2 is a close second with Onion Knight BSB, Eiko USB, Celes' Indomitable Blade, and Maria and Refia BSBs being standouts.
I'm checking lists of banners now, which is good since it let me realize I actually have 4 of the BSB in Phase 1. Surprising.
Phase 2 I have less, it seems worthy of a pull, although I have Celes' SSB and Maria's BSB.
Phase 3 I have only 1 but the theme doesn't seem too enticing.
Phase 4 indeed looks good. I have Vaan's BSB but that's the only dupe I can notice.
Phase 5 I have 2 of the BSB.
IMO, Divine Guardian is one of the game's biggest "hidden gem" soul breaks. I use it all the time, though admittedly I RW it more often than I actually bring Garnet along to a fight.
