Final Fantasy: Record Keeper (Smartphones)

[Aerin]

I'm trying with Shadow Flare for RW right now. Gave RED XIII R2 Magic Breakdown instead of blind. Aerith I swapped slow for shell. 15 s/l so far to get blind to stick and not get fira'd before shell is up. Of course Reno still hits vivi with confuse, while blinded and manages to crit instantly killing him. -_-

[Aerin]

Yessss! Got mastery. That extra 9999 dmg on Reno and Rude from the RW helped I think. And Rude didn't use Fire more than twice which allowed me to not waste actions healing. Thanks for the help guys.

I mastered without using Slow or Blind, but like I said earlier, things can be pretty RNG. Reno being Pyramid happy being one such undesirable.

Exp day! Remember to level Steiner for eiko ex++

[Mertron]

steiner garnet and red today, the "I don't have those memory crystals" trilogy

[Ratatapa]

Not my fault you skipped Garnet

I'm leveling Steiner (for event)
Selphie + quistis (cuz FFVIII is next)
Sazh (FFXIII classic dungeon this week probably)
Tifa (Aeris event comes back soon and i guess i can just finish getting her 65)

[Pharaun]

I just don't have the fire power for Reno/Rude. I've beaten them a few times, but always get -2 for actions/damage. Having pretty much zero synergy gear hurts.

This is a lot of mine

Scrub team alpha currently consists of Steiner, Selphie, Irvine, Aerith (56) and Tifa (60)

Also, because its exp day I won't do Eiko event until tomorrow.

[Kirin]

So wait, the teaser states Eiko is a bard and summoner but I thought she was a healer.

Really starting to rustle my jimmies that I missed out on Yuna's level break. Wanting a healer I can break 50 with. Using exp dungeons today for blm/whm to 50 for materia.

I'm guessing Summoner would be my next core class for that chance at Summon Spring 2?

[Spira]

She is a healer. Shes white magic 5, summoning 5, bard 4 (at least as stated on the JP wiki).. and also has a better MND stat that Garnet.

They probably call her bard cos she can use Bard abilities (when they decide to add them).. and also cos she's like the only person other than Bard (and Tyro) that can play instruments

[Ratatapa]

Getting too many healers atm and too many BLMs too

Healers
Yuna (for some)
Garnet (for some)
Selphie
Aeris
Eiko
Tellah (soon)

Same with BLM
Quistis (not the best one but still)
Irvine (same deal as quistis)
Rinoa (soon and her MC)
Tellah (soon)
Golbez soon

Will be fun to try to level them all lol

[Ratatapa]

Also this Boss rush (eiko) might be the easiest one we got yet (hone carbuncle to R2 maybe R3)

Fight #1 Black Waltz #1 + Sealion Carbuncle + Fire spells = Rekt bosses
Fight #2 Black Waltz #2 Reflect then laugh at him
Fight #3 Black Waltz #3 Same as #2
Fight #4 Zorn and Torn, just slow them, and focus your attack on one of them (make a weak mage melee the other one to interrupt the casting)

Useful abilities imo

Power Break (those mages can still melee iirc)
Armor break (duh)
Faith (You can cast it on the mob so he does 20% more dmg and kill himself faster
Mental Break (Gotta love mobs that kills themselves faster)
Magic Break (mostly for sealion because stuff like Tsunami is AOE and Carbuncle won't help)

Make sure to give Summon Sping II to the carbuncle user, and Kirin will probably be enough to heal (not like you can heal yourself with carbuncle up anyway )

Thinking of going with

Cloud Lv 65 Fira Strike + Power break probably Soldier's Stike RM
Vivi lv 65 Firaga + Waterja (Mana Spring II)
Eiko lv w/e Valefor + Carbuncle (Summon Spring II)
Sazh (Mental Break + Faith(forgot if he can use it)) Sky Pirate
Selphie or Garnet (I might use selphie with her AOE heal) Slowga and Diaga and Contentration II magic

[Spira]

i think youre being a bit too generous with how you classify your healers and your casters..

we do get alot of healers but each of them do actually have some sort of niche role to fill.

theres 7.
Arc (III)
Lenna (V)
Aerith (VII)
Selphie (VIII)
Garnet (IX)
Yuna (X)
Vanille (XIII)

only 4 can break cap atm.

Aerith currently reigns supreme with her excellent MND rating and host of Soul Breaks, if you have them.. and can also Summon, meaning that she's got Kirin available to her.

The rest of them are all decent healers with Soul Breaks that are situationally useful depending on what abilities you have or dont.
Arc for Mass Shell, Lenna for Mass Regen, Selphie kinda sucks if you don't have Trabia's Light because she cant summon and her default Soul Break sucks.. but she does have Celerity if you ever need that 1 extra slot.

But yea.. 4 healers who can break cap atm is more than enough.

As for casters.. its a lot more limited than that.

at 50 cap,
Maria (II)
Terra (VI)
Rinoa (VIII)

at 65 cap, its
Rydia (IV)
Vivi (IX)

Vivi is clearly the superior choice because currently Rydia is capped at 3* Black Magic (but not in the Japanese version) but is still good. Plus some fights you will need more than 1 caster (or a whole party of them).. whereas you rarely need a second healer.

If you include Summoners, then Garnet and Yuna count too.. but you'd need to have summon abilities honed up and the Summoner RMs equipped just to keep them going.

Quistis and Vanille are barely passable as casters. They can use 4* but their MAG stat kinda holds them back from being pure casters. Quistis is more of a hybrid support class than anything (she can do breakdowns).. and Vanille is probably better healing, unless you really need a caster in XIII.

As for Irvine.. wut?

[kuronosan]

How deep into the story is Steiner?

[Spira]

Alex Castle part 3.
at the very end of the current dungeons available.

Meant mostly too many healers and casters coming in the following events and we already have a lot to level up atm

As for Irvine I forgot, I though he had blm 4 like quistis

[arus2001]

Only things I have left to get to 50 after this current scrub bunch (likely won't finish until next week) would be lolKhimari and core characters like Knight/Ninja/Gladiator. Eiko will probably be insta-50 with eggs from event and a Major I saved from last one. After that, I'm probably going to put together realm-specific teams as able and try to find out good EXP/stamina ratios for something other than Vector so I can take useful people to 65. Granted, I'll probably do what remaining elites I have first.

[Aerin]

I need to wait about 2 more hours to have the stamina for Alex Castle 3 and get steiner. Gonna be a party of something like:

Summoner (16)
Cyan (16)
Quistis (16)
Balthier (16)
Steiner (1)
