Final Fantasy Record Keeper - Magicite Dungeons - Summon Crusader! Annihilated

[IceSylph]

Sub 30'd my first 2 4* magicites this week. Can probably get a 3rd, but I don't really want to farm Kraken again. Don't care much for summon crystals.

Fuck Tiamat. With my normal Tiamat setup (no CSB, just pulled it today), it's always a consistent win, usually between 45-60s depending on Squall RNG. Since I pulled AOSB and CSB today, I wanted to play around by trying to fit Rinoa into my normal setup, but removing Raijin made it unreliable. Seriously my least favorite fight in the game. They need to give us 4 more of those fire/wind accessories that we got from the fest >.>

Isgebind, Midgardsormr and Marilith are still going to be pretty far away for a sub 30. My lowest Marilith is ~38 seconds, and Isgebind is ~50. My water and fire elements aren't really that hot, outside of my Lord and Saviour, Bartz.

EDIT: Got bored, so did Kraken as well

Took a few S/L to get the proper turn order down. Shelke does Wall turn 1, turn 2 wrath, turn 3 entrust to Lightning so that she can IC USB. She then just sends bar over to Lightning periodically.

I'm getting tempted to dive Selphie with USB/BSB1 for her W-Cast LM. Last Stand just makes things so much more bearable, but I feel I can't slot her in without a legend dive, since she'd be limited to 8 Curada and then dry. Which isn't terrible if you're sub 30 everything, but if you're not... If I had her BSB2 as well, I'd do it in a heart beat.

[Robertfb]

Managed to get a clear on Tiamat finally! Ayame was my MVP with her OSB/BSB. Only managed a clear with no mastery, but Tiamat killed Selphie right as she was to be entrusted for USB and all of my party wiped except Ayame.

I'm sure I can sub 30 once I finish LD Ayame (missing 20 5* dex for double cast) and if I play with no major lag and with a full 4* magicite deck.

Setup

Edit: Cleared Ixion, now have access to Siren/Hades when they come out!

4/6 Sub 30'd. Midgardsormr's around ~38s as well. Isgebind is still higher up, but I haven't retried him in a long time.

EDIT: Also got Isgebind down, sub 30.

Outside of Bartz, my fire is pretty weak. I do have Papalymo, but he wasn't pulling his weight really. If I dive him, I think he'd be fine, but if I don't have to, I'd rather. Overall, I don't really use mages for much, outside of a few fights like Shadow Dragon, Golem, Mist Dragon, etc.

Going to have to farm a Firemane to make it a little more consistent. 3 people died at the end, and Krile/Iris don't have much HP really and take a beating.
5/6 sub 30'd. \o/

[Robertfb]

Woooot! Got my Siren clear AND my first sub 30 4* Magicite run! Siren is harder then Tiamat ONLY in regards to raw DMG at start. Her holy attacks SUCK, they were dealing 4.5k with shell and wall and she does the ST back to back with the 3 target aoe one.

I spent a few hrs rearranging my setup and found that dispel IS a must since it makes her way more manageable. I can get a consistent sub 30 once I fully LD Shadow (CT + event 30 DEX will finish him) and once I get full 4* dark magicite deck. Also if Selphie/OK get silenced at start, its a S/L.

Setup
Seymour 99 / R4 Memento Mori + R3 5* doom enhanced magic (my mind is blanking on name for some reason) / CSB / Mako Might / dark+ staff
Edge 99 LD / R2 + R3 shadow nin combo / USB0 (SSB2) / Tyro MC3 RM / dark+ armor
OK 99 LD / R3 dispel + R4 Ultra Cure / pUSB / Dr. Mog's Teachings
Shadow 99 partial LD / same as Edge / BSB + LMR / Edge MC3 RM
Selphie 99 LD / R2 Shellga + R4 Curada / USB / T.G. Cid mode RM
RW: Fabula Guardian
Magicite: Shadow Dragon | Isgebind + Midgardsormr + Maliris + Darkmane

I need to rethink my Siren team. Holy heck she hits hard.

Also Hades down. Time to farm him a bit.

[IceSylph]

Siren I probably can't do. Outside of Raines, my dark is limited to either ninja abilities or Sephiroth BSB2/OSB.

Hades I'm struggling with. His status' and dispel is annoying. I consistently get him to ~35% then either die to dispel, which takes off protect from the frontline, and they have the defense debuff from Assault Saber, or he sneaks a Cauldron while astra is down because it got eaten by interrupt \o/

[Moridam]

all my good dark characters are mages, and i don't have the 300 odd MDO i'd need to field a dark ninja team and/or dark mode TGC. i don't think i'm even gonna bother with siren, lol

hades i can probably do, but like most stuff in this game lately it'll probably take me a month to summon the energy to actually try and build a party for it

[synistar]

Even with TGC USB, the damage feels slow for Siren. I may go with Gabranth or Sephiroth paired with Riku. Also I'll probably run OK as a healer since the damage is ridiculous.

[hyoton]

I hate you, physical darkness skills.

[Robertfb]

Well Siren is officially my Liquid Flame of 4* Magicite... I'm getting Siren as my only magicite drop... Did 10 runs and have 10 Sirens and 1 Evrae...... Fuck this game... Also once again, I can't use Kreeper or w/e app on my phone.

Sad thing is... Siren is only good for leveling inheritance levels.

If you use Nox emulator, you can use a similar program.

Siren - got her at 32s because I mismanaged meter; after I get evraes things should be fine.

Hades - yikes...I got WOL chain from a draw on select a LMR banner and he's still incredibly tanky, to the point I get hit by the phase 2/3 black cauldrons.

[hyoton]

Okay sub 30 on siren. Relm picking up the party on her back and carrying them to victory again. Doesn't seem like a very rng heavy fight minus the silences.

[kuronosan]

What was your Siren setup?

Got Hades down. No where near a sub 30, but it'll do for now. I had to kick Raines, Larsa/Iris and OK out of party.

Run revolves around the dispel at 50% obviously. The first AoE cure I do is Ovelia's BSB, for C1 spam and the MND+ it gives. I use USB afterwards. The RES buff makes non-savage Cauldron damage minimal. After Marche USB goes up, he eventually does a BSB for a 2nd layer of ATK.

Warrior of Light is such a shitty character without anything but his CSB. 4* dived and Holy+40% and at ATK softcap and his Assault Sabers do like 3000 under chain. It's bad.

[kuronosan]

Looks like it's time for Selphie to enter the fray. Ovelia has Astra?

Her USB is instant last stand, and RES+100%. The MND buffs get it up to ~6800 HP on subsequent casts. I tried Selphie with USB, but it wasn't putting out unfortunately :/

Wish Ovelia had more HP. With 4* dive, she's at like 5800. It's low.

[hyoton]

You want ovelias full dive anyway if you have survivability problems for the reduced ele damage taken.

My setup was relm usb, shelke, OK nin usb, gabranth usb (I despise using him), vayne burst and OSB. feed relm meter, use 2x osb and usb entry to burst down siren in curaja mode.

Also just got Siren down.

Yup. The old tried and true. When in doubt, instant cast OSB it out.

Riku LD put me over the edge to get Siren down. Just spam entrusted Riku and let him do all the work. Not sure if a Glint would have sped it up.
