Final Fantasy: Record Keeper 2016 Advancilate Twins

[Kainos]

No barrage is very useful, I have it r2. If you use advantilate it is the perfect skill to go with it. With advance it's like having a free ssb

For physical heavy ptys, planet protector or Rama shout in future coupled with good Rs weapon it is good still, even better with armor bd.

I don't even use fullbreak got rid of it because it's useless on powerful bosses , if u have the gear and good attk up sb it is good. Imo waiting 5 months is a poor excuse when u can use it now

When do we get Thief's Raid?

So Barrage is useful with Advance as we said.

Full Break is "useless?" Nice.

When do we get Thief's Raid?

Mid March it looks like. Comes with Minwu event.

I don't use this so meh.

[Kirin]

Tyrath has enough SSB's, he doesn't need a free one.

Sweet.

Also, Barrage to r2 isn't a waste even with Full Charge coming down the pipes. If you need a DPS bump, it's there in combination with Advance and considering the whole game could be boiled down to 'wait for X' you're best off doing whatever it takes to make winning the hard content easier. Remember when everyone said wait for Lightning's first 3hit SB weap? Yeah....

I haven't honed Barrage because I haven't needed it. Mitigation > DPS 9/10 times here.

[Ratatapa]

I also prefer Mitigation, because it feels much easier to lose dmg taken medals then action taken

[Robertfb]

Theres always going to be better abilities/gear down the road, so it boils down to personal preference, as for I, I prefer RW mitigation, so barrage will remain not made for me, but I will make the crap out of thief's raid.

[Tokitoki]

That's the thing for me. To make Barrage useful you need to be hitting the damage cap on other skills like Tempo Flurry. At this point in the Ult lineup I'm hovering just over 10k per Tempo Flurry with FB, ABD, Steal Power for the THF.

To drop a mitigation RW to bring Advance doesn't make sense. Even less so if you're not bringing Full Break + Breakdowns. That's just crazy.

[kuronosan]

The only time I ever bring Barrage to a boss is when Luneth is the one using it. Two rounds of it are usually all that is needed at that point. I'll be replacing it with the new one later.

No point in doing it now unless you have Advance and can't clear content.

The Latest Strategies and Tips!

So might be a multiple weekend thing like i said before

[kuronosan]

Sounds like it. I think it works better, personally. Last thing I want is to choose between multiple events and maximizing orb return.

[Aerin]

Well shit, I still have 41 Quests to go through. Not even up to date with Penelo event and haven't completed the latest DU. I'm slacking!

[Starby]

I'm probably behind in this but I just discovered the "Tree" display option for realm dungeons and wow it's really nice. You can toggle display at the top of the page.

Going to be pushing Vossler off until Monday it seems since orb fest gets all my stamina.

[Ratatapa]

Only reason i see people doing bonus today, is that they need Fran MC2 to level her for Ultimate

I plan on doing ++ then saving +++ and Ultimate for Monday because I don't like ignoring a possibility to level a character to 80.

[Ratatapa]

mhe not like Fran is good

i'll just do her another week if it does span on multiple weekends

[Kirbyprime]

Mhmmm, I have 4/5 stamina shards, good timing I guess, I can just do a reset tonight

[Robertfb]

Sounds like it's exactly the 2nd orbfest minus the relics, wonder if this will be the actual orbfest and saving sssbfest banners for march anniversary or in addition to the anniversary one

[kuronosan]

mhe not like Fran is good

only with her relic, otherwise there are stronger characters to bring, like Vaan.

Fran is lucky she has access to Full Break.
