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

[Julian]

Grats on getting that returning player login bonus. Mad jelly!

Take things slow. I returned recently ~3 months ago and was overwhelmed as well. Now I'm mostly caught up on end game content. (Mostly.)

Come say hi on discord, we can answer any "dumb" questions.

In other news - downed Alexander! First 6* clear!

[hyoton]

FINALLY DONE WITH ALEXANDER (the first of many needed)

EDIT: Done with 1 99'd alexander. May need a second one later.

[synistar]

After a long freaking time, Ramuh down. Go Go magic team.

I'll farm more later this week and then brainstorm about Leviathan with my sync-less magic team.

[Vandalhart]

The same for me, but for Ifrit. It wasn't the cleanest of wins (over a minute, and only Tidus left at the end) but it's a clear. Now to do it 3 more times and start looking at Shiva. I'm optimistic about Shiva and Valefor because I have Syncs for those elements.

[Moridam]

i've def got the tools to take down ramuh and alexander. just so hard to muster the energy to actually build the team and grind the fight out until i get the turn order down

[Sumy]

OK, got Alex done... it was annoying having to ignore Decil Sync AND Shadow Sync since neither of them could break 30k per hit.

I think Alex is my least favorite 6*, he's just cheap, and kinda dumb... Yes, Ramuh was annoying, but his "gimmick" could be handled by multiple characters as long as you have stacking en-element.

...but Alex, seems like he was made specifically for Seph or Cloud, or someone with a Dark-based Overstrike, which coincidentally, neither Shadow, nor Decil, the two big Dark SBs in the last 4 weeks, and our ONLY physical Dark-Sync holders at all, have.

Edit: Group was...

Kiros - F. Fragrence, Wrath - USB, AWSB
Seph - Taboo Raid, Lifesiphon - G+, USB2, AWSB, 1 (in that order)
Seipher - TB Darkness - CSB, 3x Glint, AWSB
Tyro - Entrust, Wrath - AWSB
Ellara - P Salsa, W. Hymn - USB1, USB2, AWSB

RW: Fab. Guardian

[Vandalhart]

Huzzah! Ifrit 99/99.
I've tried Shiva a few times and was pretty successful getting into P3. She's much more forgiving compared to Ifrit/Ramuh on mistakes. I'm optimisitic that I may be able to clear her before fest. If not, then maybe I'll get some extra tech during fest to bolster my success.

[synistar]

Leviathan down. That was the easiest one so far. Magic team, no syncs.

[Vandalhart]

Shiva down, but I was having trouble with the follow ups. Hopefully today, I can knock another one or two out.

[Kirin]

Physical or Magical? Starting to work on the ol girl myself.

[Vandalhart]

Magical. I was blessed by RNGeesus with Terra Sync so it was an easy call to go Magical.

Terra - Glint, BSB, USB, Sync
Tyro - DVG, Sentinel, AASB
Elarra - Glint, USB(s), AASB
OK - Glint, USB3, BSB, mUSB
Vincent - Glint, Fire Radiant Shield, USB, CSB, AASB?

[hyoton]

and with magic levi, all active 6 star magis cleared

[Pirian]

Finally downed my first 6*, wooo

As you guys suggested, I shelved my Titan team for now as that was just banging my head on a wall. I was planning waiting until Lightning got her hero ability for AASB1+AASB2 quad cast shenanigans of potentially 539,982-719,976 dmg per round(or more if I want to pop on her Sync for another level of dmg break), but figured this would be a easy confidence booster to go ahead and finally get one killed. It took a couple iterations and moving people around, but it was essentially amounted to an hour of tooling as opposed to the few weeks Titan has accumulated now.


So what are people doing for inheritance? I think I've seen most people getting 2x 99 copies, 1 for attack and 1 for defense, but it kind of seems a mixed bag for what people put on them. I was just as much figuring to keep it simple with x2 element boost/dampen, respectively.

[synistar]

I honestly treat my 6* as a defensive Madeen replacement. Been alternating 2x health Boon or Blade/Spell Ward. Hardly optimal but it gets the job done. I may make my Ifrit mind boon + healing boost. White Odin did change things up a bit in regards to optimization, but I'm not looking that far ahead.

[Pirian]

Odin wins are honestly 2 years+ out for me as a FTP, so I need to optimize where I can. Right now I run 2 Madeen, one with att/att or mag/mag that I interchange as appropriate, and the other with double health. Then 2 of the slots are the element+ (element+/crit dmg) that I need and the element defend (blade/spell ward) that is appropriate, and the last slot goes between the inverse surging power or the healing+ if I find I need it.

That leave the main slot that is easily replaceable with the all-around better 6* for the element+, imperil, and static dmg, though I don't know if I. I don't know if there is any benefit to using 6* as defensive other than higher stats, though I thought the imperial thing gave dmg reduction for opposite element. I don't know. lots of ways to go.

[Vandalhart]

You don't need to get two copies right out of the gate. I only have one of each at 99 so far. I was following a guide on recommendations, but mine are appearing to be defensive. Most have an HP Boon and Spell Ward/Blade Ward.

Also, Alexander 1/4 last night. Seifer replacing Garland was a huge change in damage output.

[Kirin]

I personally dont like the "offensive + defensive" 6* setups. I think Healt Boon + Alternating Ward on every 6* is plenty to clear all content in the game. Assuming that, you can convert whatever relevant 5* you wants (generally turns out to be the imperil ones) into a hybrid +Element X/-Element Opposite X because you save yourself a slot by not needing a blocker Famfrit anymore.

[Vandalhart]

That's the route I've gone. It makes me have more Madeens, but they're easy enough obtain now.

This is the route I took too - and my B Ward/S Ward Madeen, as well as my double health boon Madeen, that I used to use all the time, can now be replaced with something else.

Is it worth replacing, though? the double madeen is for the 22.5% surging power. Replacing one with a 6* adds a new kind of buff along with the inheritance, but you lose 7.5% surging power, which seems like it would be a lot. What would you use the extra slot for? Letting the 6* replace your offensive buff gives you an additional offensive buff on top of the double surging power, whereas the 5*'s don't really have unique attack buffs
