14% for something good is pretty high...

[Kirin]

That can't be right...can it?

Thats a ridiculous chance at a 5* per week. Unless the pool is Unique and SSB only.

[Aerin]

Even if it is Unique and SSB only I'd start pulling every damn day.

The 5* pool is huge when you include everything and currently in JP it's mostly 6* or bust. With BSBs getting phased out I don't think this is surprising.

[Sumy]

I'm completely OK with 14% chance at a free rosetta stones every day!

[hyoton]

Even a 3% chance at a 6 star is really good! Certainly an upgrade on our current system...

[Alkar]

Yeah but if FFBE has taught me anything 3% is still shit lol.

[Kirin]

take a whm who can use smn and a third summoner. keep it locked in core open mode and eat the flashes; it wont do anything else. everyone else goes to town. dont need boostga.

Not really working. Maybe I'm just not getting a rhythm and timing issue right?

Generally using Relm USB after the opening Ultima, Cid or Agrias pops Fabula Raider RW, both summoners cast, and then hopefully Relm follows up with a quick Alexander to get the core open. At that point I'm able to manage meter to (hopefully) have Relm's BSB ready after the countdown (also for the C1) but can't seem to manage the fight properly through the 3rd or 4th countdown.

Going to be really miffed if I can't do this because I dived Alphinaud with my wisdom mote stock already pretty low.

Edit: Realized thats an older screen and magicite has since been changed to +holy/atk.

I don't think relm needs curada or the burst here (they aren't bad, but the burst doesn't do anything you actually want). Not sure exactly what's going on but ideally you're divine portraiting at 1 or so, let all the summoners' meters recharge, and wait for flash. Then everyone casts and reopens the core. I used elarra which is obviously more heal but instant should make this absolutely error proof. I'll try it in a bit-I might have given tyro summon/entrust to help elarra out (but more likely I just didn't pay attention and gave him summon/summon).

[Alkar]

Lol, they forgot to actually add the Neo Torments XD

Yeah it seems to work fine with relm. According to the AI there's 3 seconds between each count. The thing is that photon spray is on a .5 cast time so you have virtually no time after flash to move - relm makes this easy but you want to portrait at 1 so she has time to reload. The summoners should just sit around waiting till it flashes after about 2 (if you start a move RIGHT AT 2 you're fine because it's about 5.25 seconds to reload but otherwise the summoners should just wait for the count to end and resummon).

Curada was fine as a throw away. I did run tyro with summon/entrust this time and moved meter onto relm (useful) and tg cid later on (unnecessary). I also ran beatrix, my knight dualcaster (enholy burst and imperil burst), instead of ag, and hope instead of alph or rydia (both of whom would probably be much better than hope's antiquated-ass burst 1). Also I only have tg cid osb so you might be better off than me there, not sure.

[Moridam]

Lol, they forgot to actually add the Neo Torments XD

all those power crystals farmed during 'fest for nothing. RIP

[Athas]

What were the rates now?

Have to admit, I never bothered with the daily pull.

[Aerin]

Set your time zone to Tokyo, Japan to access new torments.

[Gokulo]

Bastards, confusing me like that in the morning

[Kirin]

I'm really scratching my head for this Diamond Weapon fight. By any measures I have above and beyond capabilities to clear it, but can't get past 50%.

Tried Tidus/Yuffie for damage instead, and did even worse overall. My next try may be with Raines BSB and maybe Rem, but then I would need to drop a summoner and that doesn't seem smart.

Brought Eiko in so she could provide an alternating heal next to Relm and keep haste up, but it hasn't worked as planned.

Moved Alphinaud away from gunning for his BSB and instead gave him 2 summons and Mako Might to get Radiant Shield off instead. Help!

My Diamond setup
Alphinaud - Leviathan | Ogoppo - USB - forget RM - LD
OK - Wrath + Entrust - pUSB - MM - LMR
Yuffie - Washing Machine R4 - Glint + USB2 - +40% Ninja - LD
Edge - Washing Machine R3 - USB (never used Elban Dopple) - Tyro RM99 - LD
Elarra - Curada | Vaelfor(?) - USB|BSB - Dr. Mogs - LD
Magicite -Kraken (Imperil water) Sub: 2x Evrae (5HP boon + no inheritance) | Gizamluke and Krysta

Alphinaud and Elarra open up and hopefully get a doublecast
Send Diamond through the washing machines
Entrust the healer and get hp back up after core closes
Repeat until dead.

It's a lot of HP but you would do a bit better with an entruster since you're not taking damage while the core is closed.

Edit: Forgot Elarra had to USB after turn 1.

[Aerin]

IIRC, the way I approached it was I used my physical DD’s OSB’s rather than USB’s. The reason being that the core open and closes so fast it was easier to get 2 OSB casts in than USB + abilities. Because the core would close up and then they’d be doing 0 damage. And while the core was closed I’d just use Lifesiphon, no damage but SB gauge gain.

I used Alph’s BSB for the CMD 1 Quickcast. Can’t remember if I used Rydia BSB or just another Healer for backup summon. I tried a lot of different things, fight was giving me problems as well.

[synistar]

I think one of my Yuffie USB2 hit when the core closed. Oh well, at least it was 1 less summon to open it up.

Yeah your setup actually looks perfectly fine (minus maybe divine cross on marche but with actual USBs to use it probably doesn't mater, and maybe an entruster/smn instead of eiko but w/e). If you're on the BG discord for ffrk I could walk you through it? (I feel like this is my fault for recommending the 3 smn thing).
