FFRK Dorp Thread Dos: Rata gets his wish

[Ayn]

P5

Pull 1 - Raines OSB, Iris BSB, Alphinaud USB
Pull 2 - Minfilia and Hope BSB. Eh.

Least I got Iris?

[Alkar]

2/11: 2x Gladio BSB! Sad no Cid Raine's BSB or USB, but happy for another solid DD for Hydra and more 15 weapon synergy.

Boo, sorry Rob

[kuronosan]

No Lightning USB, but I did get Alph and Noctis so no complaints!

[Robertfb]

Boo, sorry Rob

Meh, I'll get her eventually I'm just happy it wasn't dupe/11.

[Sumy]

1/11 Gladio's BSB
Already got Ingus BSB which is fairly similar to this, so not too thrilled.

Gladios BSB wrecks Thunder Magicite. CMD2 > Repeat CMD1 until dead.

Gladiolus BSB, Maria BSB, and Dorgann BSB = quick battle.

Edit: For some reason I read that as Ignus instead of Ingus... <.<

The command 1 mod is just so bad though. 2.4 over 5 hits? Is this a skill for ants?

[hyoton]

Ponied up the cash for 30 dollar draw. 3 worthless ssbs (cid xiv imperil fire, chocochick for sazh, zidane ssb) and DEUCE BSSB!!!

[Ratatapa]

JP and Global are different games, Rata.

We can both be right.

Well back in my day...

The official google translation of the JP intro has them as "Burdo Supa Special Moves".

Because that obviously should be the real name for them.

...maybe against something without Earth Weakness - but for me, it's better than my alternatives; Galuf BSB, and Hope BSB/BSB2/SSB. It also has Empower Earth

[Karbuncle]

BSB is just easier to type and say, it wins

It's technically a fair bit higher. With en-earth and 5 hits it's 3.5 over 5 hits. then another x1.5 for weakness, it works out ok. Entry is meh since it's AoE, but command wise it's superior to say Ingus BSB (2 hits) or Tifa's BSB C2 (3.24 over 4 hits) or Bartz BSB3 (C1 is 2.25 over 4, then an extra x1.15 after the first C1). Galuf BSB you get utility but forego damage and get the wrong imperil (fire). And Hope BSB doesn't have en-earth and a bad entry for mobs with holy resist. Tifa and Bartz make up for it with ST entry.

Gladious works out fine when you line up all the physical earth specialists.

Now where the hell is the Guy BSB that was supposed to be on the fest banner ugh. And doesn't even pop on the next FF2 event.

[kuronosan]

Hmmm. Never considered bringing Gladio.

[Robertfb]

Don't forget Gladio's Cmd 1 is a weaker version of upcoming earth Guardbringer (1.00 per hit with same thresholds), so once that comes out, DMG output will be much much better on both Gladio and Ingus.

That says more about how poor earth options are than anything good about glad command 1. Dingus gets a 30 atk/def bonus so his commands are about 5-10% weaker than glad c1 at max power. From personal experience I agree I can't get decent damage out of his commands which is why I do not use them over Gaia Cross (which isn't exactly great shakes for damage either but it's relevant for sub 30ing, which is more than I can say about most characters' commands). We need earth bringer.

I have all of your list except galuf bssb. Their commands are varying levels of irrelevant for sub 30 except butz, and at most I'd use like 1-2 of those. Honestly Galuf might be the best because he can chip and help someone's terra omen/osb combo it.
