Yeah if it's really worth it then I'll look into diving a double-hit ninja with no SB. My water team is very strong but not quite able to get in under 30 seconds (32.56 is my lowest). Pretty sure a ninja would fix this problem instantly, but didn't want to spend precious dex motes to dive a character with no SB just for one fight. To sub 30 one fight and get at least a clear on another? Better justification.
Yeah; I mean you don't have to do it (if you just need clear in a reasonable amount of time bartz is plenty, and you can run earthbringer or later earth saber or something) or have OK use nin skills with no dive, but it's pretty good to have around.
As far as breaks go, I didn't find much use for offensive breaks, but def/res breaking is pretty nice (a 50% res/def break goes to 20% with 40% break resistance, so it's like doing armor breakdown on a normal mob) but not necessary. I use it because I use pen usb for blinking the dispels.
So when doing hydra I tried using earthbringer on Gladiolus with wall/protect, but the damage was only 3k~ per hit x5 so I just stuck with a capped out Gaia's Cross. I do have Dogrann's emperil earth BSB, which also raises att 30% and small def and dmg increase cmd1/att, def increase cmd2, but does no entry damage. Dogrann's LMR is moderate x2 on knight abilities, so this might be a good option but it's dex motes again ugh. I actually switched Dogrann out of my Hydra team because I needed more damage and Gladiolus was able to push me down to sub-30 with his OSB, but maybe now is a good time to bring him back.
Ice banner dropping tomorrow:
-Snow CSB
-Serah,Rinoa (ice boost),Laguna (ice boost) USBs;
-Serah BSB1, Rinoa BSB1, Laguna BSB2, Edea BSB, Ayame BSB;

Damn, why do I have so many dupes here?
Edit: Sorry, it's Rinoa's BSB1 lol...
And that's it for ice boost relics, not even one armor piece here... what a shit banner.
DeNa: were going to start treating global with dignity and respect.
Global: oh boy! Ya'll really listened.
DeNa: Indeed. How about an elemental banner series?
Global: you mean it?! We cant wait.
DeNa: Great. How about Rinoa's BSB1, Edea LMR, and Snow's chain. Just what you asked for.
Global: f
Actually would like Lagunas LMR now since I 100 gemmed his USB on the rebirth banner...but not wading through that.
Let's see what earth and lightning look like...but if ice is an indication it'll be better to wait for fest.
As long as fire banner has at least Krile Chain and either Terra USB or Vivi USB, it'll get a pull from me.
Rinoa burst 1 = ??????

Nico report reveals the following May events for JP:
FF5 (Krile focused)
FF15 (2 events, one following Noctis on his journey, the other is a FFXV fishing event, with unique RW that summons Noctis fishing for prizes)
and EoM FF2 featuring Hilda being added! Also FF2 neo torment.
Edit: It was FFXV that was hinted as getting a torment (betting on Titan), not FF2, but FF2 is EoM so I bet its getting one as well.
Will leave FF1, FF3?, FF10, FF11, FF14, and Type 0 without a neo torment and I bet some realms will get a 2nd torment before XI/XIV gets one.
Edit2: FF6 & 13 this month for record dungeons, FF3 & 10 in May. Only thing of note from Q & A was they took a poll with 51% wanting farming RMs easier and they are looking to increase characters beyond LD.
MO boss of golden week is Proto-Omega!!!!!!! Woot! Best Omega arrives! Time for constant colossal blows and hate resets!
G33 is 2x G6 and 1 G5 that is either BSB or Glint. Gift set for GW is OSB + BSB + healing BSB, just like what we got for 3rd.
Edit: Goodbye 5 mythril series chance 3 pulls with G5! Hello 11 pull series chance AT 15 FREAKIN MYTHRIL! 255 mythril total for 17x 11 pulls!
So..... Apparently Global is getting maint in a few days to add the new Glint buffs that JP JUST got! 6 months in advance!
oh wow, that was unexpected. when do we get a shot at pulling squall's glint?
