No free Saint Cross from bonus battles?

Yes those maths was from Saint cross 1-3 since we got a free one

I'm gonna have to do 1-2 doe now

[Jem]

I think this is probably my strongest team.

Agrias (SSB + Shield)
Gilgamesh (SSB)
Sephiroth (SSB)
Red (LH)
Aeris (PP)

Then I have people a few utility people I can rotate in if needed. Yuffie for Clear Tranquil, Zack/Jecht/Minwu for Dismissal, Edgar for DEF boost, Lightning/Bartz for flavor (multi-hit SB's on both).

[Robertfb]

After SSBfest, my go to team will be:

Sephiroth (Black Materia)
Freya (Dragon's Breath)
Tyro (SG)
Laguna (Desperado)
Lenna (shared c35 medica)

Will swap out Freya with Tifa (platinum fist) if not RWing Shout.

[Mertron]

after the past week i have no idea what my A-team is anymore. possibly:

cloud (fenrir overdrive)
a knight (agrias or Gilgamesh)
tyro as whm or breaker (SG)
yuna as whm or SMN (hymn of the faith)
last spot depends on fight and how i decide to appoint tyro and yuna i guess. with shout as rw i would probably let tyro do the breaking and throw in another melee, and let yuna whm

[Mertron]

but that 30k SB points fucks me up

have ramza solo the first 3 battles of the fft 99 dungeon with bladeblitz. 30k exp a pop for 19 stamina.

if you don't have an aoe ramza can use, just bring agrias along as well.

[Ratatapa]

Think I'll try to learn sb for Agrias and ramza tomorrow in daily

I still have enough time to finish yuna before Thursday night even if I do some daily tomorrow and Wednesday for power and wind orbs

[Zeb]

How long ago was Gilgamesh's BSSB in Japan?

Oooo nice then do the same with Agrias good idea

[Mertron]

its still running right now.

[hyoton]

Yeah, I really have no reason to use Ramza thanks to SG. The only way he could have broken in was being the hastega bot. Agrias with SSB covers my neutral AOE needs rather nicely though (although I really wish I'd gotten the shield...).

[Kaslo]

I'm a mage meta person for lyfe I guess :/ Terra and Rinoa SSBs, and SS2 are my only good relics

[Mertron]

Oooo nice then do the same with Agrias good idea

just remember you'll be taking a lot of damage solo which will affect medals. give him haste RM and if you don't get the first action off or think you're taking too much damage, s/l.

when they made the change to exp in the event dungeons i usually ran the character that got their MC2 solo through the last dungeon like this to get them exp.

[synistar]

So my team will end up being this:

Ramza
Cid (Hyper Jump)
Celes/P. Cecil (Got the 3 hit weapons from lucky banners)
Cloud/Yuffie (Blade Beam or Landscaper)
Ysholta (Wall)
or
Yuna/Vanille/Lenna/Selphie (Medicas, though only Yuna and Selphie have MC2s) and RW Wall.

Will probably sub in Faris once he gets MC2 and if I ever hone Thief's Revenge.

[Mertron]

i feel bad for my cid. i have a 6 star of his spear and i don't think i can really work him in to my lineups outside of ff7 events.

[Moridam]

soliciting some new player advice for orb expenditure

after orbfest is over and done with, i don't have enough majors to craft any 5-star abilities at all, let alone worthwhile ones. hones would obviously be way off in the future. would it be better to just break them down and work on honing 4* stuff?

right now, my highest hones are R2 power/magic breakdown, bladeblitz, fire blossom, ruinga, elemental -ja spells, curaja, shellga, and then a few assorted R1 4*s. a decent spread, but doesn't give a lot of breathing room for difficult fights; hardest thing i've completed so far was nightmare dreadnought with close to zero synergy and it required a few S/L, and most abilities were spent by the last couple turns. lost too many medals on actions/damage taken to hit mastery, but i at least managed to do it without dying.

i'm guessing if i'm going to go with auron being a staple character since i pulled his SSB i should work on lifesiphon, but i'd have to break down my MPO/MWO stock to get past R1.

any advice would be much appreciated

[Zeb]

Yes, hone 4*

[kuronosan]

My perma team, interchangeable:

Ramza
Quisty or Agrias
Yuna
Y'shtola
Rinoa/Lulu/Terra, or other melee if needed

[Mertron]

also, since I have relics for steiner greg and now agrias, I guess it looks like I'll be going the saints cross route.

[Pirian]

Man Thief's Revenge in the hands of Locke is no joke. Since getting him to 80 he's been a permanent member of my team by reliably cranking out 15-25k each round with TR with either PP or Steal Strength. He gets pretty damn close to out damaging Cloud's BSSB+Quad Strike, but boss fights don't normally last long enough between the two of them. If I have the luxury of bringing Full Break and/or Defense Breakdown then I can usually break 30k+ per TR on ++ and +++ bosses; it's really nice.

I've been using Aerith's Planet Protector as my damage booster, but now that I have shout I'm thinking of subbing her for Yuna because I have Hymn. I've been running some kind of wall RW for so long but the rest of my team is pretty solid by this point so I can't complain

[Tyrath]

Are you playing jp? Bartz can't use TR in global.
