I'm going to have a meltdown
Feeling incredibly lucky right now.
4/22
Edward SSB (dupe)
Cecil BSB (my very first BSB for FF4)
Golbez SSB
Rosa USB!
Saved up 250 myth to chase Rosa's bow, only needed 100 of it.
Glad you achieved your goal, feels good always. That USB is a staple for my magicite runs.
I'm not sure you're aware of its potential.... Wrath w/ AceStriker or Battleforged RM means you have an Instant heal ready to go EVERY 2 TURNS, oh and it gives you a Magic Blink and HP Stock 2000 to prevent you from getting hit or taking much damage while you wait those two turns.
I know, but I dunno, I have Vanille dived with her BSB and healing is never a problem for me. I'm sure it'll come in handy for MP though.
Vanille can't Wrath, you get one shot and then sit and wait with the slow heals until down the line, you may have a SB ready to go again. Not to mention no magic blink or stock. It was king for a while, but hardest content benefits from stronger stuff like this USB.

I have both relics as well and I wish I had her USB. Instant heal + HP Stock + M. Blink, it's great for magicite dungeons.
That and Terra's USB (I have her OSB) is the reason I'm so hyped for fest banner 2 + Bartz USB and enwater BSB.

Fully dived Vanille with BSB will, healing numbers-wise, be about as effective as Rosa with Wrath and her USB. Vanille lacks the utility of magic blink and stock, but on the upside she can party heal forever rather than just 5-6 times.
Only major downside to Rosa's USB is that Rosa's legend dive is awful, but you don't really need it.

Now that I have Edge's USB, I'll need to hone those two new 5* abilities, but I just honed a metric tone of Ninja magic for the Magicite dungeons, so my Dark Orb stash is already on its last legs.
I'll have to grind Dark Orbs a lot during the next orb fest.

I'd say Vanille and Ramza, since I've never been much of a fan of cat girl's Stoneskin (I know it's good, but I prefer to generate SB when getting hit). And Tyro's wall is wasted on magicites since you get Elarra or whatever her name is.
Two FFIV pulls got me Benediction and completes the waifu.
So I went and did another pull on FFV and got the Knife.
Not sure if I want to try for Edge. There's nothing else on the banner that interest me at all but there hasn't been a reoccurance for Edge, my IV synergy isn't great, and I have 0 water relics as it is.
I went cat girl. Vanille's party heals are probably much more valuable in Magicite, but it feels real good getting double insta-casted curaja. Most bosses kind of blow through Stoneskin as well, so preventing SB generation isn't much of a problem these days.

This mirror image stuff seems hard to pull off with the constant aoe attacks raining down. Maybe paired with a legend dived cecil with cover and sentinel to help a little?
I was about to drop some money, thanks for the wake up call xD
I'm happy that my pain can help people.

Wow, I can't believe it. I did 2 draws and got all four of Edges relics... not sure if I should happy or sad, since I was kind of chasing Rosa.
Does Edge USB work with his BSB or do you need to make the new abilities?

His BSB has ninja commands, so yes, but you need to have physical blink stacks to trigger it.

Oh so the idea is that you get Reflecting Pool up twice, then when you attack with a burst command, you get the burst hits then 2 extra hits from the USB?
The idea is to Reflecting Pool + Raging Waters
The BSB isn't nearly as good as spamming Raging Waters, I believe the multiplier for RW is 1.0 while it's .4something on CMD1 on the BSB. The only purpose of using the BSB is to get en-water.

I chose Y'shtola, but you really can't go wrong with either. No one beats the cat at keeping the party alive and topped off, but Vanille has the perks of a -RES debuff and that sweet instant entry.
What pushed Y'sh over the edge for me was having Stoneskin II, which makes her a one-stop shop for Jump Start.
No Edge relics for me in my two pulls, and I'm not planning on pulling on Setzer/Shadow (too many dupes), so I guess I'm skipping ninja meta. Major orb stash lives to fight another day?
No one should feel bad about getting Edge's jacket though, that is actually a sweet relic-- I should know, I've pulled it six times. :/ But aside from the soul break which is great, it's non-RS locked Fire+ armor with good stats. It's a nice piece.

3/11: Edge SSB (Last Stand), Edge LM, Rubicante SSB
First Last Stand relic for me finally. I also already have Edge's BSB.

Finished Water / Lightning / Ice / Wind Magicites under 1-minute today, still have Earth / Fire remaining.
Is it feasible to attempt Golem if I don't have any mage wind relics, nor Cloud BSB2/USB? The Wind relics I have at the moment is Luneth and Paine BSB, also have Zack wind-chain CSB, and Zidane's wind imperil..

My first kill was with Cloud BSB2 with +12% wind damage:
Hit the enrage, but did kill it. Would go Luneth and either Zidane or Zack(if you can build a decent chain quickly). Ninja wind magic is great here too. Shaved off ~15s on my second kill loading up (and gearing) Ramza and Tyro with Ninja magic.
Probably not, though if you got one more decent physical wind BSB it might be doable with Zack.
Zidane BSB1 is bad for this since it doesn't have wind commands and Paine BSB by itself is bad for just about everything except situations where you want AoE dispel.

Busy week (dailies and magicite only) but back in action. So DU lucky draw:
FFT Magic hastega SSB (meh)
FFXIII Atk/Mag debuff SSB (dupe)
I'm not even sure the spear when fused is going to make a great stat stick. Even in XIII it has to compete with augmented Lightning USB and 8* Lightning unique.
FFIV maximum hype:
Golbez SSB
Edge LMR
More FFIV Light armour. Now RS only element boosts... Are these being given to things that would not have element boost normally or did DeNA think "nobody wants +thunder relics because they have Kaiser shield so we'll make future relics RS only so they need one for every realm"?
Looking at that LMR am I correcting in thinking it is less likely to reappear but is only good if you get the USB. But then suppose you get the USB you then need the BSB and the list goes on.
Had terrible luck with Archeoaevis A+. Had a great team that timed the heals really well and had reraise, the revived form had nearly died "you were disconnected form one or more party members." Probably not got time to try again.
LTTP but sounds like interesting things coming up in Japan.
Story dungeons are having revised rewards, less trash mobs and limited RW choices (sounds like will be themed around the dungeon or kept move in tune with the power creep of when the dungeon came out originally)...which of course have gotten people to panic that RW might be phased out completely. But DeNA have probably seen players drop off with how RW+win plagues a lot of lower difficulty content (so get bored and quit) then people get to harder content and have no clue what to do (overwhelmed and quit).
Also stamina overflow will apply to stamina shards as well...only 6 more months of having to time collecting that 5th shard (then wind up having to S/L the D166 boss and take about 7 minutes on that).

Good job. It might be possible to push those two seconds out by improving command times and maybe re-ordering party members, SBs etc. Although to be perfectly honest the rewards for going below time are not too great. Sub 30 for the 3 major orbs that is basically a JS torment with the RNG removed (though is far out of most players reach) but otherwise it is some 2* magicite that in a few weeks of farming will be mostly obsolete (I do find it amusing how 2* are harder to obtain than 3*).LTTP, but I finally beat my first Magi boss.
Triple MAG buffed + Mental Breakdown from Vanille's BSB = ~24k per hit on Ashe. That + Radiant Shield = Smooth victory, but no mastery.

I beat Bis under 1 minute the first time but my next 2 attempts were just over a minute. No big deal. Just 1 2* item which I'm sure I'll have a handful of in a month. More concerned losing the Magicite upgrade material bonus.

Sorry WarAdept, I did another 11 pull on the FFIV banner. 3/11 & Disco ball.
Edge USB, Golbez SSB, Rosa LMR (let's be honest that had to show up and I was expecting something real trollish 5/11 all Rosa LMR)
But like I said before no BSB en-water for Edge so the true damage potential will go unrealized...plus my poor orbs...poor Dex motes too
Finished off the FFV bonus battles. I will read medal conditions from now on because I had to do the Dragon flower twice for missing such a simple condition (thankfully it is probably the easiest Cid mission I have ever done). Necrophobe JS was simple. A+ was like 6 S/L. I thought that was interesting contrast because the last few JS I've done have not required me to change a whole lot.
I guess next week I'll be trying my luck out against Liquid Flame (well technically I have Tidus BSB1 so could have already).
Edit:

What if you had 6 SB bars instead of 3 (same total limit and generation, so Mako might starts you with 2 etc) and all current SBs cost two bars. Like most things in this game it comes across as more complicated than it needs to be. I also guess the next generation of SBs are going to cost 1-3 (0.5-1.5 on the current scale).

Phew, FFV banner is gone and my mythril... intact
I like it, I think only Tyro had a SB that used two bars in the current system. I think it'll give a knob to turn that isn't straight up more damage or extra effects.

I skipped multi and did it solo. Cant keep a MP connection, frustrating.
Threw everyone in back row and had Kain Jump a lot.
JS Rubi was manageable but I can see it giving problems. Had good match up gear in Radiant Shield, Strago and Palom burst.

dat genji shield, a relic from the past.
Did a little tweaking with abilities (Alphinaud -> Shellga) and this is a stable Ice Orb farm
Terra can't get any faster than that unless I find a way to Dr Mog->Wrath to her or something. Probably not worth bothering, gotta prep for Dark Orb farm, fresh out and need both Edge ninja skills to complement the USB and multiple Raging Gust for Golem 30s (...eventually)

Multi-hit overflow SBs confirmed for the 3rd anniversary in JP.
Edit: More information! Squall's new SB is only 3 hits. They will have a once per battle restriction and cost 3 gauges in the new 6 gauges system.
The 3rd anniversary will also introduce some new SBs called Flash Techniques. They will cost 1 gauge in the new system. Lightning's technique is an instantcast EnLightning. Restricted to 3 usages per battle.

When rage pulling goes right...
Decided to do a couple pulls on Banner 2 in anticipation of the Torment. First pull 1/11, Wyvern Lance dupe...
Second pull:
Artemis Bow was another dupe... but I think I'll let that slide. I've gone from zero BSBs in FF4 before this event, to being fully outfitted.

They really should make this a regular thing, releasing the event's torment the following week. It makes sense!

So this game teased me. I did 3 pulls on Bartz banner and got two of his Water BSB but not the USB or LM (or Earth BSB, which seems stronger). Then I did one pull here and got Edge's USB.
Now I have two water beasts at only partial power. One with EnWater but nothing else, one with the big prize but no EnWater and both without LMs.
Sidenote: I got a chuckle out of the fact that RNG gave me a Water-based USB hours before I evacuated my home due to Irma.
