The magic cast speed for 3 turns really jumps the DPS for Ysale, Alphinaud, and Papalymo. I wish I had that brave but alas can't have everything. Also dragoons are in a bad spot until they buff Sky High for a 5th hit.

VII 32s with barret usb, aerith burst 2, the shelkinator, cloud (usb1/burst2) zack (usb/chain). Rejuv grimoire is amazing. Had to durdle around in phase 1 more to build meter so I don't think I can get sub 30.
Barret is amazing. Zack does zack stuff. Shelke entrusts cloud at the start, barrett most of the time and then one last one to cloud for ultra cross strike. Aerith on dispel/haste duty. I accidentally used cloud's burst 2 and I think it saved the run because of the rehaste- I accidentally skipped the dispel and didn't have time for aerith to haste (had to burn a heal instead).
53s on IV torment - rosa and rydia usbs (with edge ssb2, tellah's haste burst and barbaricca's imperil wind burst bringing up the rear). I messed up and let everyone get Hold'd at low hp but turns out healing 2300 a tick with lakshmi is a lot of healing.
Trying to make a competent Laks team. I have:
Full Cloud
Full Riku
Full Decil
Mostly full Sephy
Garland chain plus ultra
Jihl ultra and burst
Rosa USB2/Glint and Elarra USB1, Larsa USB and burst.
No idea where to go from there.
Clear/Mastered FF3. Phase 4+5 Incubus Quake is a plain stupid.
Lak really doesn't do much damage if you have shell or grimoire up in the first phase, it's just a DPS race or you can astra it. After that she gets a mag/mind buff...and still doesn't do too much. it's like a hades fight.
23.5 seconds on VI torment with shadow usb2 instead of locke burst2/aosb. I would have thought the AOSB would kick shadow out of the park but I forget how much value shadow gives the chain...
31s on XV torment with sora aasb and burst - I had been trying stormspell which more or less sucked. Didn't even have to use rejuv grimoire. Now I need to see what I can do on V torment...
47s on III torment - way slower than I'd like considering I'm throwing 4 usbs and aria at ahriman.
36 seconds on VI. My first ??? kill
God I torment looks bad. I have literally no idea what I'm going to be able to do here.
IV down in 43 seconds. So much more difficult without a healer USB, but my realm DPS is very solid with Rydia USB2 and Palom USB. Fortunately Rosa SSB + LMR was enough and getting P. Cecil Arcane (from draw) and random luck for getting his en-holy and w-cast LMRs was enough support for Edge Doppleganger shenanigans.
I should try and push VIII and XII but been lazy. Same can be said for Lakshimi.
Hard to justify putting in a lot of resources for the torments esp when the partial clear update will give so many rubies too...
If you want mastery rewards for the D-???, chip the boss down by 10%, petrify a character, and wipe your team. 1 mithril + orbs/crystals + 20 ruby per dungeon.
Same would be for the 240/280 if you're really struggling.
First sub 30 D???
Barely eked it out.
Setup
Terra chain firaja Awakening Tyro MC3 RM
Edgar Flame Offer USB gun dmg+ rm
Sabin Fires within and fire ironfist USB fist dmg+ rm
Mog shellga curaja USB MM
Relm hastega ultra cure BSB and USB DMT
Belias and fire magicite, Wall
Awakening carried this super hard.
I drew on XIV realm draw for 15 myth for fun (really didn't need it) and got papalymo usb (!!) so went ahead and sub 30'd xiv torment. A bit trickier than I thought and I had to dive papa (which is pleasantly absurd when you think about it: spending 100 wisdom and spirit to get 25 spirit motes back and 40 rubies I don't need) but it was fun. Also wow that usb is going to be amazing if papa gets an aasb (up to 8 chase hits!!)
Catching up on more torments: sub 40 xi torment; 41s xiii, need to find a way to cut it down just a bit more...Finally beat tactics torment but more than 1 minute (lol)
I, II X and t-0 are the ones I haven't yet beaten. II my firion is pretty strong and everyone else is a garbage fire. I my heal is ssb hastega, yuck. X ssb heal and decent fire/ice stuff (weirdly, poor water). T-0 want a heal that ideally isn't concerto.
so I was thinking, with Pecil and Decil AASBs, that IV torment would be a breeze... right?
54 seconds win.
Picked up Rydia AASB, so swapped out Edge for Rydia... 47 second win. How was I doing so horribly with THREE Awakenings?
mimic'd a you tube build of; Edward USB, Edge SSB, Rydia USB, Rosa USB2, and Palom USB, that I could have made 3 months ago, and knocked it out in 28 seconds.
It's so odd how, as overpowered as Awakenings are - their are times when old tech, and 6* abilities (alegro con moto, chain thundaja/waterja) can be more powerful.
