Final Fantasy Record Keeper 2019: Doomtrain Chugging Along

[hyoton]

Yeah I wouldn't worry too much about magia. It'll be good for more atk/mag/def/res if you realllllly need them but def/res are less important in most (not all) of the 5 stars due to piercing being the attacks at low hp, and atk/def depends on how many buffs you can bring.

[Pirian]

It's pretty clutch in getting Elarra, and soon to be Rosa/Vanille, to the next mnd tier for Regenga

[hyoton]

I usually run a mind boost for that though, particularly since healing boon's also on the magi for it.

[IceSylph]

Thoughts on doing a half dive for Rosa (also extra MND stats)? I have her USB1/2 (No glint/w-cast LMR) for relevant relics. I use Aerith for physical, and lack Elarra USB, so Rosa would be the runner up to that. Kind of torn, but thinking a half dive may be worth it for her.

[synistar]

Grab LM1 + everything else on the right side and you're good. Save yourself 2x40 motes.

And done, thanks \o/. She made my Geo runs about 5000% more consistent >.>

[synistar]

Also you want to get to the 200 MND breakpoints for her to add time for the Regenga. Probably easy to get to 600 with the Type-0 MND artifact + Waters. Easy to hit 800 with Bravery synergy.

[Sumy]

Well, Terra Awakening is no-joke with Dark Ifrit, went from 'not being able to down the torment' to completing it in 28.xx seconds - even before Mog 30sec Doom killed him. She never once DIDN'T cap damage.

Bartz not quite as large a difference, was about to 45 sec the FFV Torment before, and now it's down to 40 secs... maybe I'll adjust my group.

[Akiyama]

Beat Phoenix due to Bartz carrying. I'd do BSB Water for the enwater into Awakening, so with the chain where it was by that time, he was doing 14-15k a hit x4 with Stormspell, and by the end was capping damage. Was super sick, felt good to finally beat it. Granted I didn't grind super hard.. but it was still nice to do.

Got Quetz to 10% with it too, but got hit for way too much damage at the end. ThinkI may need to drop the second healer and go with an extra DPS to beat it before it beats me.

As for torments.. I have Terra/Bartz awakenings so I guess I should go try 5 and 6 esp since I didn't even sub 30 the 280 for FFV or FFVI.

[hyoton]

I actually ended up full diving rosa with glint and usb2. Dual trigger is much less interesting now and while poison+blind removal are useless, confuse removal directly relevant since I'm slow on lak and and self silence removal is always good.

[synistar]

41 seconds on VI. Need to find out ways to shave a few more seconds... sucks since I don't have Relm USB.

[Kirin]

Torn between USB Selections.

Tyro Godwall, or picking up a current medica for II, III, V, XI, or T where I either have decent to good BSB's (V, XI, T) or the Minwu/Arc BSB's that deal damage and have to rely on healing commands.

Godwall most immediately will have an effect on Syldra setup #377, while the rarer realms medica will help on Torments - but not necessarily provide sub 30 ???.

[synistar]

Godwall is meh for Syldra. The 2nd half of the fight is gravity/piercing.

[Kirin]

I'm just at a junction of bringing Dispel, Haste, and Shell all at once.

Godwall fixes two of those things, packs in 100% crit rate for Bartz Awakening, and frees up the healer or Celes to bring dispel.

This fight is just so maddening to me. Either I turtle too much and can't finish even with R4's and 5's, I turtle too little and get wiped at the start, or use dual healers and can't do enough damage.

[kuronosan]

Finally beat Chupy. Lots of RNG involved.

[hyoton]

I did shinryu/omega. AASB'd at the start instead of at the end when I should have, and had to dink it down with bursts. Not great, bob...

[Athas]

Is this jump rope bullshit supposed to be such bullshit?

[hyoton]

Oh yeah. It's bullshit.

[Kirin]

Is this jump rope bullshit supposed to be such bullshit?

If you hit jump as the rope hits Vivi's shadow, with how the frame data work it should clear the jump with the exception of the frame change at 40 jumps. Quick and easy way to grab the USB and be done.

[Athas]

I got that far, but the motes are proving to be a frustration.
