FFRK - Broken Chains (FF8) Event & Strategies

[kuronosan]

Ramza + Edward's Harp = lolnazzo

[Alkar]

Ramza + Edward's Harp = lolnazzo

That won't do much against Slowga, Sleepga and counter Stop spam Thankfully I can bring Runic so I'll have to find a Celes SSB RW.

[Ratatapa]

Runic won't save much from the AOE tho

[Alkar]

No but the stops will be absorbed and one character will be immune to all these status effects.

[Ratatapa]

yeah i did plan to bring celes especially since she can use Thundaga and Blizzaga Strikes too

[kuronosan]

I think my plan for that is to bring Ramza, Celes, and Agrias. I'm not sure if I want to bring Edge for Ninja Vanish or what. I think ultimately (lol) I'll bring Lightning and a Healer. It'll either be Yuna or Mehnelo.

Don't forget you need 3 thunder cast for his barrier, and you only got 1 turn

[Kirin]

Do we know if Blood of the Espers or the Dualcast Spellblade RM procs if it counts as two casts or one?

[Alkar]

Yes, you need three different characters with Thunder abilities and they need to be ready to interrupt Tsunami at all times. Multi-hit SBs like Angel Wing Bolt or Crushing Blow will also count as one action too.
I'll probably use Lightning, Ramza and Tyro but we'll see. Might have to bench someone from my usual AAA team this time.

I'm pretty sure it counts as one, I'll check real quick.



Can't see much from this video as she lands DC Thundaja twice as the last hit but the message shows up after the first cast so it may count as two. However given the RNG factor I wouldn't bet on it anyway.

Ramza = Swift Bolt
Celes = Thundara Strike
Agrias = Thundaga Strike

[Ratatapa]

That works

[Kaslo]

Lightning Jump?

[Kirin]

Jump probably not being considered because of the time window needed to stop Cagnazzo.

[Skai]

1/1 for U+ with only one medal lost for damage.

Spoiler: show

[Robertfb]

I'll create the FF4 thread soon so we can talk about it over there so discussion doesn't get lost in here if we talk more about it, but 1/2 on Ultimate, had to leave and come back with mixed mitigation (bringing shellga for example and using protectga from Ramza's Tailwind) and bringing Magic Breakdown for Seifer's Firas and Fujin's attacks, wasn't that hard of a fight once mitigation was up. For Ultimate+, forgot to bring dispel XD, so at the end was a race to spam SBs and deal dmg to outpace his regen when shout wore, but was very easy.

Ultimate (used shout RW for both)

Spoiler: show

Ultimate+ (forgot Seifer IS a knight and since I have bloodfest for him, I do actually have a knight SB when I thought I didn't XD Go Saint's Cross!)

Spoiler: show

[Skai]

Your VIII synergy is worst than me, lol.

[Kirin]

Wait, SB's are affected by "Deal more damage with X-class ability" RMs?

I knew burst SB's ability commands fall under certain ability classes (like Squalls are Spellblade), but didn't know the actual SB does as well.

[kuronosan]

Yes.

[synistar]

U+ down 3 medals lost but had to burn a mithril after an hour of S/L and dying to him at 10%. Only FF8 synergy I have is a Betrayal Sword, 10 Gallon Hat+, and Selphie's Morning Star. End of the fight was Ysholta down, Cloud spamming Blade Beam and Drain Strike, and Cid using his last Draining Jump to hyper jump. I didn't expect to master this. I only wanted the Major Wind orbs anyways.

[Kirin]

Yes.

How do you determine the class type of the SB? Like how is Agrias's Cleansing Strike a Knight SB while Lightning's Blaze Rush isnt?
