"Random: Instant Chain" proc rate?

[Skidz]

I'm thinking of giving Fang this synthesised ability, but does anyone know the proc rate on this? For those that currently use this ability, is it worth the accessory slot?

[Atreides]

Lightning and Fang can both get it with the same weapons/accessories, but since Fang is most likely going to be using the Taming Pole it might be more useful to put it on lightning since using Army of One could give you more chances to proc it.

I use it on both Fang & Light and it actually goes off decently often. I'd say once every 10 fights or so. Or if I get lucky it'll be a couple times in a long fight, etc.
Although it's inadvertently gotten me killed on the turtle fights on the fang highwind method.
But otherwise it's really nice to have, can stagger shit at really high rates too if you're lucky (cactaurs, hunt 51 etc)

I was wondering about this ability yesterday.

I have it on Hope right now, but am pondering putting it on Fang instead of the ATB+15% Boost I have on her now. My only worry is if it conflicts with the "Stagger Lock" present on the weapon I've upgraded for her.

Though now that you mention it for Lightning, I wonder how that works out between Lionheart-> Omega "Quick Stagger" and Random: Instant Chain both on the same setup with AoO.

I believe thats how most people use it and how it's meant to be used.

This has got to have a terrible proc rate, atleast for Fang. I used it to fight Bart~ at the end of Chapter 11 and it never went off even once, and that was no short battle. Or maybe bosses are immune to it?

[Kirin]

That idea just completely flew over my head. Ive just kept Lightning setup with her ATB Rate +15% Synergy from when i was unsing Enkindler just because i liked it so much...and the haste is nice for healing.

Trying to figure out what to set Fang up with now for COM. Already got Ultimate Physic/Magic sets for when shes my tank, but don't have anything for her on com outside another ATB+15% setup.

Lucky Breaker has no effect on monsters higher than level 50. Bart in Chapter 11 is level 55, so yeah, you'll never see it work against him.

Completely oblivious to how synthesized abilities work. How do you get this? XD

Synthesized abilities happen when you mix certain weapons with certain accessories. There's a thread in here somewhere with a link to all the synthesized abilities and what you need to create them.

I gave Sazh Instant Chain, but it doesn't seem to go off much (he's usually set to RAV). So, does the character have to be set to COM, and does it even work with an ally i'm not actually controlling?

[Belkin]

It works on RAV, it also works on characters you dont command.

The proc rate is somewhere around 2-3%

[Atreides]

it can work on SAB too, as well as SEN (but obviously not as frequently since it can only proc on provoke/challenge and counters)

[Nevex]

According the official guide nothing is immune to that and has a 0.5% proc rate each attack.

[Skidz]

0.5% kinda/sorta matches the results of a half-ass test I did recently.

I went MED/MED/RAV(with instant chain) on a King Behemoth and just counted how many attacks it took to proc. The first one went off after 95 spells (or 95 single ATB segments), the 2nd instant chain went off after 180 spells. After that I lost interest and stopped counting, but yeah I could believe that the proc rate is less than 1%.

EDIT: 180 spells after the initial instant chain proc.
