FFRK - A Brewing Nightmare (FF7) Event & Strategies

[Robertfb]

Actually wondering, does Full Break fulfill the conditions for "reduce magic"? Or does it have to be Magic Breakdown?

Yep, for any condition that just says "Reduce this stat", can just reduce it by any means, (breaks, break SBs, etc) and it'll fulfill the condition, it's why I <3 having Faris' BSSB on my jp acct, makes fulfilling all those conditions so damn easy with a full breakdown SB.

[Akiyama]

It sucks though because you can't use Banishing Blade for a "Dispel" condition

[Kaslo]

Oh snap, +-+++ are immediately out?

[Kirin]

Yeah, new event format starts with Vincent.

5 stage Normal/Elite or Part 1/Part 2, which unlocks the usual 3 bonus battles. Ultimate and U+ are then unlocked with the 2nd banner.

I have to say I love the new event format. Makes everything very quick and easy.

[kuronosan]

Yep.

Wondering what to do with Break Fever. It doesn't stack with Full Break, right?

[Kirin]

Yep.

Wondering what to do with Break Fever. It doesn't stack with Full Break, right?

Nope.

To me its just the AoE option for FB. Honing it once and then letting it go.

[Ratatapa]

Problem with break fever is the few uses Dancer gets, but I probably gonna use it on Tyro instead of Fullbreak when there's multi mobs, like Ultimate for this event

[kuronosan]

I should bring Lenna as my healer this time and run SS for mitigation.

[Kirin]

The Turk fight is being a little PITA. Keeps killing Yshtola or Hope before I can get Sleep or Protectga off.

[kuronosan]

Nevermind. I have to bring Tyro since Lenna is only 4*.

[Kirin]

I think Mog, Tyro, and Penello are the only 5* dancers atm.

[Ratatapa]

Planned Ultimate and Ultimate + Setups

Ultimate

Spoiler: show

Empty slot will be for Break Fever

Ultimate +

Spoiler: show

Decided to drop Tyro this time due to the 2 Black Magic requirements should be fun none the less

[kuronosan]

I think I'll run a BLM spell on Celes and put a Spellblade on her.

[Ratatapa]

I think I'll run a BLM spell on Celes and put a Spellblade on her.

The issue is that you need a BLM AND dispel spell (banish blade won't work)

[kuronosan]

Then I'll have little choice but to use AoE cures or toss dispel on Agrias.

My planned setup, I guess:

Tyro (Curaja, Break Fever)
Ramza (Lifesiphon, Banishing Blade or Shadowsteel)
Agrias (Lifesiphon, Dispel)
Celes (Spellblade, BLM)
Cloud (Spellblade, Pound)

I haven't needed breakdowns yet, so we'll see.

[Melena]

Finished through the +++ fights. Everything was a joke

[Alkar]

You don't "need" a BLM. Just use one of those "turns Attack into *element" materias.

Yeah, especially with Shout. Ultima Weapon melted so fast I was worried I wouldn't be able to proc slow from Tempo Flurry, lol.

[Tyrath]

Shout team so OP. Slow wasn't procing on Ultima Weapon but I killed it anyway and mastered no problem. He was dead before my first stoneskin even went off. I could've gone in without a healer.

[Robertfb]

With my new team of Seph (Black Materia), Shadow (SSB), Ramza (Hail of Stones/Tailwind), Zidane (Shift Break), Tyro (SG) and Shout, cleaved the fuck out of all the +/++/+++ fights, even mastered without proccing slow on Ultima Weapon and mastered turks without proccing silence on Rude (accidently used it on Reno thinking it was him). Having a whole team of lifesiphons and then bursting down with tons of multi-hit ST SSBs/SBs is so much god damn fun! Can't wait for Rufus and Lifeform Hojo.
