Final Fantasy Record Keeper 2019: Doomtrain Chugging Along

[Vandalhart]

Great, thanks for the clarification.
Are the second round that JP going through right now equivalent to 1.0, 2.0 or somewhere in between?

[Ratatapa]

Do SB auto get learned now? Got 3 new SB for the earth banner and they were all mastered

[Vandalhart]

They do, quality of life update in the maintenance Tuesday.

[Ratatapa]

Awesome

Man earth 220 jenova was a bitch

Has to run 2 support to deals itu her dmg output

[Vandalhart]

Yeah my Elarra was getting hit pretty hard. The fact it's a battle with some soul gauge given at the start helps though. If you have a last stand USB it can go a long way to help.

[Ratatapa]

Any tip on crystal tower lamia queen and the last fight of earth choco?
I keep getting rekted

[synistar]

Earth choco, get your beefiest earth phys dps with whatever imperils you got. RW Cloud USB, Win.

I guess Lamia queen, stack the ATK debuffs with a dancer. Mug Bloodlust to mitigate Apocalypse Tail buff. Not sure what else since I did that last month on release. There is a new dancer ability that's Full Break + AoE heal as well.

[Vandalhart]

I pulled Locke awakening in my Fire Elemental banner last night so I'm playing around with an Odin setup.

Is ellera and tyro worth full dives ?

[Kirin]

Is ellera and tyro worth full dives ?

Both are.

If you mean all of Tyro's class ability unlocks, maybe not. But they are both worth full record dives for their materia.

[Ratatapa]

How often can I use elarra glint?

It says instant cast and doesn’t use a SB bar but once I used it it’s grated out after

[synistar]

Glint+ is once only. no SB consumed. I also forget if Pro/Shell/haste duration change to infinite until dispelled happened yet.

[Kirin]

The Pro/Shell/Haste change has not happened yet. We may get it with Jan/Feb maintenence but most likely closer to anniversary.

[Ratatapa]

Is it safe to rainbow all 5* that have no elemental bonus or resist ?

[Moridam]

yeah. i've been cashing in a ton of stuff now that we have auto-mastery, i was sitting on dozens of marginal LMRs and SBs that i couldn't be bothered to master.

and yeah, elarra is very much worth full diving. even without the infinite buff duration fix that's still incoming, most fights are over well before you have to worry about any of those buffs dropping, so you'd only need to slot in pro/shell/haste if you're running into dispels/slowga spam.

[Vandalhart]

I've been meaning to back through and see about clearing up some inventory and getting some Rainbow Crystals for maxing some artifacts.

The two guidelines i've seen:
keep 6* weapons with 300+ under realm synergy
keep anything with elemental bonus

I've been keeping all of the armor I've gotten so far. Should I go ahead and combine anything with elemental resist but keep items with elemental boost seperate?

Before I started focusing on artifacts, I tried to keep 2 of every main weapon type (Swords, Daggers, Staffs, Rods) and 1 of every off weapon type (Fists, Balls, Thrown, etc) as a base, and then 1 of every type for a specific realm, and combined/rainbow whatever is left. I would then store weapons as I maxed out their equivalent relic.

Just the opposite on elemental resist armors. Because they're a lot rarer and are very useful in the odd chance they are needed, I tended to keep all of them separate regardless of realm synergy. Element boost armor I tend to keep the strongest 2 physical and 2 magic based armors per element and fuse/store whatever else for realm synergy.

Does Mug Bloodlust and Passionate Salsa stack? my google-fu isn't being supercooperative

[synistar]

Yes, Mug Bloodlust is ATK/DEF steal (30%). Salsa is Full Break (50%) short duration. And for reference, Multibreak is 30% full break 15 sec.
