FF:BE - A Skinner box with plot

[Robertfb]

how you get 21k atk though?

Oh you, you know I meant 1.3k and 2.1k

[Yuri-G]

I mean if anyone could have a 21k Hyoh it would be Oravis

[Jiyo]

Finally got enough lapis to do the last step of the 11k banner and out popped Hyoh #2. Now I literally have 0 resources left lol

[Yuri-G]

^ grats! Hyoh is fucking nuts.


cleared Leviathan; power creep is real. just chilled until I had summoned my esper and casted five spells, then imperil -> buff -> debuff -> Hyoh LB x2. one shotted him from full and he even had Protect up lol


he is seriously unfair and I love it.

[dasva]

Fuck it bought some gil er lapis to get enough for full lap. Manage to get 4th Nichol (Yay Levi rod I guess?) and 2nd Olive on non garuanteed rainbows... I mean overall I'm still behind but hey it's a step. Got troll Marie for guaranteed rando and Troll Rain (jk actually wanted him since already got another at 100 and potted) for last step. Now the big decision to use UoC for 2nd Hyoh or go for 11k step up. Also the decision to awaken stuff now or get some TMR farming first since will take forever using just trusts.

Edit: forgot about ex tickets... Awakened Rain #3. Whelp awakening Rain now then since not waiting to farm both the extras tmrs first. Still going to farm one of the extras though since this is definitely a TMR I'd want multiples of. Lets me use up a bunch of pots I'd been saving though

[Teryu]

I'm extremely tempted to buy the 24.99 bundle to finish getting lapis for the last step of the 11k step up in hopes of getting multiple hyoh. I have one already but i dunno if i wanna use my UoC tickets for 7* or if i want to save it for anything else.

[Karbuncle]

Omg I’m never this lucky holy fuck shit fuck. Final step of the 11k Step up.

Spoiler: show

After all the resources I dumped into this for hot steamy off banner fucking GARBAGE this feels so good.

[Oravis]

I mean if anyone could have a 21k Hyoh it would be Oravis

LOL

Also, Congrats Karbuncle and Jiyo!

I can set my DL for anyone who needs. My DL is not as strong but I offset it by having a super high MAG D.Fina. It actually worked out for the best on the final boss. DL Kafrizzle did exactly 5% so it was way more manageable to get the LB kill.

[Delain]

Last night/this morning was the time to pull apparently. Got my second Hyou on my final step of the 11k last night as well. Lv 25 LB, almost fully potted and using Agni and sitting at about 21k by Robert’s calculations. Having to bench Fry and take off my ice katanas in favor of fire katanas on my other chainers was painful and felt wrong. Then I used Hyou. Still painful but doesn't feel as wrong.

[Patriarch]

0 Hyoh and it just feels natural

Sadly no nethercite or 10 man rewards and not sure if I can get enough status resist gear for me so less cheesing for me

[Yuri-G]

I think I might try that trial today. I mean bonus stage, not trial lol. Although I should probably clear the trials themselves while I'm at it... Latest 3* espers too. Or maybe finish story first IDK

Grats @ Karby, that's an amazing pull

[dasva]

Hmmm new step ups are pretty great rainbow rates. I'd be a lot more excited if they came out pre Hyoh and I still had tons of lapis lol

[Zealot]

I'm not falling for those guaranteed step ups again. The only thing I'd want from them is Nyx. The last time they had one of these the only one I wanted was Blossom Sage Sakura and I got everyone and sometimes multiples of everyone BUT her.

[dasva]

I'm somewhat divided like compared to Hyoh 11k banner this will give almost 50% more rainbow per lapis. But on first banner only really want Emperor maybe Tidus if they fix him so of course I'd get Reberta and second just Nyx and TT so I'd probably get Knight Delita or something

[Cyn]

50% more rainbow per lapis, but unlike the Hyoh banner it's 0% Hyoh per lapis spent.

I can put Neth on DL which would cover. Jeweled rings are easy and can get two. A lot of that is overkill. My round three, I only had tank live (because I forgot to heal before kill in round 2), and tank use PD on Xon and I was able to start the cycle. Also, Celes has Sealing Blade, so maybe a Rikku's or some other break move could cover (not as strong as Mel+2).

[Yuri-G]

Hard pass on the step-up. Maybe some tickets if I'm bored; trying to save them but I do get that itch to pull

[Robertfb]

Hoarding lapis for Sieghart/Jecht/Auron. Might throw what I have at summer units if we get same stepup as JP (lol we won't) and rain ends up being a 5* tank (in before generic DD).
