Final Fantasy Record Keeper: Zero Magicite Thirty - A 2018 RNG-dyssey

And if you want to optimize a deck, here's what you're going to want to farm for.

Yep! That's the very guide i'm using. Also for dampen inheritance, lvl. 8 works since its just a minor 1% difference from 10 and saves a TON of exp.

On that note, I have yet to get a single Evrae drop. 8 Sirens and a Seraph so far.

I thankfully have gotten 3 so far with 12 Sirens and 7 Seraphs. I tried using FFRKompanion to track drops, but the game auto closes all background applications when it starts a fight, so alas

I can't imagine doing magicites without a drop tracker. The amount of garbage I would have had so far would have been astounding.

[Vandalhart]

So what does the drop tracker do exactly? I've heard it mentioned a few times in various places.

It basically tells you which drop you're gonna get as you enter a fight. This is extremely useful in magicites so you know whether to reset the fight or not instead of wasting time/stamina/keystones for drops you don't want anymore.

[Alkar]

Seems like the new dungeons are bugged, I see people getting errors and being unable to enter them. Not sure if it applies to all dungeons or just the new additions.

[Teryu]

Its the ff8 dungeon for me. I guess its cause of the new boss.

[Alkar]

Fixed now apparently. No apology mythril this time lol.

Edit: Some Glints are getting buffed in JP. En-ele Glints will all receive an higher damage buff for each tier for abilities and SBs. Warrior of Light, Terra, Locke, Squall, Tidus, Ashe, Sora x3, Riku's Glints now have a High Quick cast 2 effect added to them.
Luneth, Cloud & Lightning instead have 6 attacks added to them (ele/non-ele as usual).

[hyoton]

High quickcast 2 is kind of boring (trade a turn now for saving slightly more time later but over 2 turns) but the 6 attacks seem really interesting.

I realized today that my hades setup doesn't actually need a r3/r1 assault sabre and I could use my existing guardbringer/divine cross combo. Whoops.

Its the higher DMG that's going to make them useful, the HQC2 is just icing on the cake.

Squall is gonna be crazy after this buff honestly. Start battle with en-ice LMR> Glint (I'm assuming this will enable stacking and give him tier 2 already)> Quickcast BSB2/USB2 (additional stack reaching cap)> Quickcast command 1 for his BSB> profit.
He maxes out very fast and each tier is getting buffed as well. Probably won't matter on most content but for 5* Magicites and Torments this will be huge.

[hyoton]

I don't know, IIRC trading an ATB for more damage means that you have to be getting a lot more damage out of it to be worth it so I think the high quickcast is necessary (plus the half bar and diminishing returns from increasing the enelement effect - that's what they're adding right, more enelement stack damage?)

[Alkar]

They're buffing the elemental damage bonus from each stack, yes. You only need to cast the Glint once in Squall's case though, after that you're free unless you let his En-ice fall off for some reason. Sora needs to recast his though, maybe not if you're doing sub-30 runs but he doesn't have any way to get En- buffs without Glints. I'm totally expecting the multipliers for those 6 hitters to be very low anyway but then again Quickcast wouldn't really work well with Lightning and Luneth's USB effects.

Yeah, there are certain characters like the squall types who really want quickcast, and giving them a self quickcast with more benefits is ... good.

Yeah, I agree with all that (I should have quoted robert to make it clearer). The celerity type USBs (lightning, luneth) benefit from the damage glints because it lets them use the high quickcast charge on a non element thing like magicites to act as a pseudo powerchain (mostly magis) then restart the cycle for free. A non damaging glint would not do that because it has to be an element attack for cycle.

Wait, what? His LDM is specifically 3 en-elements + haste

edit: oh nvm specifically missed the part where you said "unless sub-30 runs"

So, since i'm bored, I figured i'd ask what future 6* ability are people saving for? I'm saving up for R4 Vortex/Chain-Thundaja (For Ashe USB), R3 Explosion/Thunderstorm Strike, and R4 Instant Thunder/Wind Celerity (for Lightning USB).

So far i'm halfway there for Black Crystals and Lightning Crystals.

All 3 new spellblades, because I'm a basic bitch, and Bartz/Squall like them.

[Kirin]

I'm much more focused on getting 5* abilities in working order. Whatever crystals I have available after the mainstays (2x SSS, Vali, Affliction, Omega Drive, Meltdown, etc) are gravy. Luckily, i'm down to just thunder witch and darkness abilities until I decide I want a 2nd set of the Ninja skills.

Would probably focus on the spellblades first though. Squall, Celes, and Bartz are three of my most versatile characters.
