Threadly reminder that ESLfags are a scourge on this general and should be purged.

Sephiroth is ugly! UGLY!!

3rd for Daddiolus

FFT is shit

...

>3 out of fucking 4 of the first posts are shitpost
someone just nuke this general from orbit already

...

...

>tfw you wanted faris usb

...

You have 283 more mythril Go go go

user with 61 mythril and empty mines from last thread here, this went better than expected. Would've liked Dorgann's BSB instead of Faris's SSB, but you can't win em all, I suppose.

Also, is this the first relic that upgrades two stats instead of one, when mastered?

Nah, some hyrids like Vincent have bonus ATK/MAG masteries

Can I get some meme magic for the Butz banner?

>got Faria's USB and Legend Materia in 2 pulls

Not sure if I should keep going. What do you think? Probably not since this is what I would pair with Cloud's USB

I pulled two more times and got 2 supers and Bartz's LM. I don't know if I want to spend any more mythril after that

Good luck!!

>no +wind sword
user...

Bartz USB is on the anniversary banners, so if you want that probably wait.

I hope you get what's coming to you.

>Cloud's USB
Congrats you didn't get the most important thing on the banner, Dorgann's Sword

I'm just glad I didn't get any Titan Gloves.

oh, this? I thought it was garbage. wtf isnt Faris's Bow better a million times over?

Bruh

KEEP
PLAYING
RK

Nope. It's a +wind sword, the only one in the game.

...

Lol no
Faris is just another wind imperil
Dorgan's sword is the only +wind sword that doesn't require synergy

Im only looking at the lower wind resistance for Cloud's USB.

Are you saying I should give Dorgann's Blade to Cloud for the added Wind?

Wisen up to gorilla warfare, would ya?

"Small Boost to x damage" is actually "Increase x damage by 20%".
It's pretty damn big.

> I should give Dorgann's Blade to Cloud for the added Wind?
Do you have Cloud's BSB2? if so then yes
If you are using Cloud's USB with Omega Drive then just use your biggest stat stick

yeah Cloud's USB > BSB2 is my (only) damage source pretty much. I have Zack's CSB but no BSB

Sooooo, swap out Zack, throw in Faria for the lowered Wind Resistance, and give Dorgann's Blade to Cloud now?

Thanks for the help and not being (semi) dicks.

>Im only looking at the lower wind resistance for Cloud's USB.
I have no idea what this means

Look user. Cloud is a wind character. Between burst and Zack he hits the attack softcap pretty damn easy. He's going to be doing more damage with that sword than any other in the game on a consistent basis.

The idea is that you hit the softcap with a fairly easy to reach attack stat with buffs, so after that the wind boost is going to give you more damage than just using a higher attack weapon. Of course, you have to be hitting with wind damage for it to matter.

Is there a problem with using all three of them?

This is my current A Team.

Sounds like a good plan. Unless you're having trouble hitting the cap; do you have shout/onion kid bsb?

Is Onion Kid tonight for BE?

Cloud USB/BSB2
Faris USB
Zack CSB
Healer
Wall/Hastega

RW: Wall/Hastega

there user, that's your team.

>Zack with that Crown City Smartphone
so stylish...

What do you usually use as a RW? You do still need a haste, but the 50% attack boosts cancel each other out, so ideally you'd want Zack's chain since it works with Cloud's USB really well.

Swap Ramza out, RW Rikku USB

This sounds pretty good, Ill try to work on this.
I find myself really relying on healer RWs like another Eiko or such. Id really like another solid healer.

It hurts to say this but if you want the best damage you should take out Ramza and put in Faris since she is also a support and the hastega is covered by Eiko
Or you could keep Ramza and RW wall

Actually wait: if Ramza has Chant (I don't remember if yours did), then that'd be different.

Fuck it, going for one more pull. Wish me luck

just be sure Eiko is using her BSB and not her USB.

why faith tho

...

You're not going to get it.

Have my luck, user

Yes I do.
Man Id really like to ditch Tyco. This guy really curbs my style.

This user only has her ultra IICR

Well then he should know that her USB can overwrite Cloud's 100% crit chance to a 50% crit chance, significantly nerfing his damage output.

you can do it senpai

It's Eiko's BSB that messes with Cloud's USB, not her USB

Talk about a limiting team comp. Tyro goes out then, and you'll have to go with wall as your roaming warrior unless the boss only uses piercing shit. Its a lot of stress on Eiko, unfortunately.

The crit chance is on her burst.

Balls. I always get those two confused.

...

>oh shit a disco ball, could it be
>another chicken knife
Dammit Bartz

So I can't seem to get the new banner to pop up in JPBE. I made a new account on an emulator and it was there but it's not popping up on my phone. Is it using the date/time on the phone rather than server time? Everything else seems to be fine though.

>tfw getting Chicken Knife broke my hoarding habits and I made Omega Drive finally, and LD Bartz and honed Snowstorm up to 6 uses
>also honed 5* spellblades that coincide with USB
Feels good to finally get some of this stuff made and used.

BE is shit.

Any tips for the final boss for the Ariana event? Do I just need to find a friend unit that deals damage that isn't resisted? It's been a couple of days since I tried, but I think paralyze wrecked me.

fuck I already have both Galuf relics and they're in almost every pull posted. I'm going to holdoff on pulling on this banner until after Edge1.

Try switching the time to JP time

Thanks for the meaningful input

So! I got Buttz's USB and LMR, but none of his BSBs, and no diving because lack of 4* dex motes, so how do I make use of the USB for big damage?

So Faria's USB stacks on top of Full Break & Armor/Power/etc break?

Stacking three separate breaks?

6* spellblade ability

USB + 5* spellblades work. SSS can work, but you need to make sure that it does more wind damage than ice, since ice takes priority but doesn't work with the followup. Wind boost should work with that?

What about the non-SSS spellblades?

Gumi is a good guy.

wew lad, they were jews before but they sure have changed their ways!!!!

Bruh

You're right lad.

Ah yes, the Gorilla lite starter pack.

How important is that LMR? It's the only thing I didn't get for butts

>FF will never have creative battles like Omniscient again

Not very

USB is pretty useless without it

...

if you have it you'll just s/l till it pops so it's a very large dps increase

It's comparable to the LM you get from halfway through his dive

>s/l
Why do people use this? Just say savescum

>s/l
In RK is there a way to s/l turns? all I know is restarting the fight completely by shutting down the app and reopening it

Shh, they need to soften the blow and feel better about themselves.

>when Butz LMR activates

>In RK is there a way to s/l turns?
Nope

>Ah ayum disguhstid!

cringe

>when Butz LMR doesn't activate the whole fight

>want to go to sleep
>OK banner in 3 hours
Fug

Explain to me, /ffg/, the use of relics. Is it:

1) The reward of Expeditions, wherein amassing a quantity of 140 relics within a 1 week period is the goal, to be repeated each 7 day cycle.

2) The material ingredient with its sole use as the crafting base for the "Adventurer" abilities, each iteration requiring the previous and another surplus of relics, and each "materia" non-stackable with it's own variations but indeed stackable with others of same kind

Or am I a sophist that refuses to accept the obvious because it's late at night and I find philosophy to be inherently witty and meaningless thereby wasting everyone's time once posting this question/dialogue?
Here's is a mildly related image of Exdeath, the philosopher.

>Guuuuurl
Is Prompto the most stereotypical gay guy in all of Final Fantasy?

It stands for save/load. It's savescumming, yeah, but s/l is shorter and manlets sure do love shortening things.
I mean, I've got my BSBs, my USBs, my LMs, my LDs, my SSSs, my ODs,

Both. You want relics for the weekly rewards ( a 5% moogle each week is nothing to sneeze at) but also to craft Adventurer V eventually.

Also hi DVanon, how's it going?

>Bartz USB, Dorgann BSB and SSB, Galuf SSBx2, Bartz LM
>No Faris USB though
Well other than that. Pretty good.

No, that'd be Sepphie.

youre supposed to collect them but not use them
You keep them in your storage, letting them accumulate
you know you could use them and get a nice reward but you deny yourself the reward because you've done nothing to earn it, all you did was sit on your ass while your characters did all the work
it's a masochist sort of thing
