Closei didn't do any 11-pulls, but i've done like 7-8 pulls (including the gem pulls). thankfully the three banners i want to 11-pull on for the soul breakfast all have ff9 on them, so i have no plans to pull again on the current banners.
more mages would be okay, i have the abilities, except he has 2000 RES...
...this is a perfect fight for retaliate, isn't it. i'm so used to not using it that i didn't even realize.
edit: tweaked my party a little bit and re-entered with Sunbath RW. gg ez
setup (almost all max hones except fran, who had R3/2):
Pecil - Curaja/Launch/Sentinel Guard/Lionheart
Vanille - Blizzaja/Curaga/Oerba's Boon/Deprotectga/Hero's Charge (yeah i actually used deprotectga)
Lightning - Aerora Strike/Lifesiphon/Blaze Rush/SOLDIER Strike
Tyro - Blizzaga Strike/Wind Jump/Sentinel Grimoire/Mako Might
Fran - Power Breakdown/Full Break/Whip Kick/Ace Striker
my first run, tyro had lifesiphon instead of bstrike; lightning had life drain instead of lifesiphon. i honed aerora strike, wind jump, blizstrike, power bd, blizzaja all for this damn fight.
i cannot wait for vanille mc2 next week............ i had that +700 HP accessory from Adel on her XD i've been really lucky overall to have relics for the double-broken guys... except all of the double-broken black mages (vanille only half-counts, given her mind leaning) =|
lulu's firaga fury was still sick on the bonus battles though. i plan on immediately double-breaking vanille and lulu, then waiting to see what i get from soul breakfast for the third.

Have you still not crafted Curaja? Ah... nevermind, it's on Cecil.
Two Werebuster rods, shared group Cura. Oh well. Hopefully the next banner is more interesting... though that one has Werebuster as well. Still, they're my first 5-star black mage weapon, though I've gotten several sage ones.

100 gems got my Ice Gloves, -thankfully- the bracer since i already have Josef's suicide gloves (the weapon). 15 mythril got me ... two 3*s and a second Ice Gloves. Okay then, I'm not gonna scoff at two bracers.
leaves me with 100 mythril even, meaning that with guaranteed event/daily/orbfest mythril i can do 11-pulls on banners 2/5, 3-4 single pulls on banner 1, a lucky banner, and a single myth pull on the second ff2 banner (probably a 300-gem roll too, because i'd love my own Boon). if we get the 50 myth with Ultros, then I will have to decide whether to more Lucky Banners or FFT.
still, 4 pulls for two bracers isn't bad. i'm pleased ~
black mage weapons with medica? x_x

Well, they're probably more like sage rods with a strong magic bias, looking at the stats, similar to how FF4's Healing Staff is a mind staff with abnormally high but not equal magic. I am considering just not pulling on the second banner, wnd instead doing extra SSB banners. The two rods I have will go well on white summoners for the ultimate, which is a group fight.
LockeZ
I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

My only group heal is on a boomerang for Locke, so, uh, a rod would be an improvement.
author=LockeZDang. Are you just not pulling for any? There's seemingly one on every banner these days.

I've got several:
Celebration Grimoire (Core)
Werebuster x2 (FF2)
Elven Bow (FF4)
Mystery Veil (FF6)
Esthar Bracers (FF8)
Lullaby Rod (FF10)
Yuna is probably my favorite at it, because I find it more useful to have a DPSer with a group cure. Ideally my wall would be on a non-healer too, but that's harder to come by. It helps deal with scenarios where I have to use Stoneskin and heal a bunch of people at the same time, which is pretty often. I tend to grit my teeth when casting Stoneskin while somebody needs a heal, because it's so risky but the party will wipe if I don't get that Stoneskin out. I was interested in Minwu's and Yuffie's for this reason.

I guess I also have the Celebration Grimoire. You've just got AOE heals falling out your ears apparently.
I've been pulling mainly based on realm, trying to get synergy for realms I lack it in. And when choosing which of the two banners for the same realm to pull, I mostly care about "which banner has more armors instead of weapons" and "which banner doesn't have bad weapon types like balls and gun-arms." For a long time I was more interested in avoiding bad pulls than getting great ones, and figured I would get AOE heals and hastegas and walls eventually.
So far that plan has not done so great. I mean it worked, but I badly underestimated the usefulness of AOE heals and hastegas and walls. Pre-ultimate bosses were all about stats but ultimate bosses are all about strategy. I have a shitty AOE heal on Locke and a decent half-wall on Rikku, and no hastega. This is probably why I keep needing to spend a mythril to beat ultimate bosses (though I didn't for the last two, but I also didn't master them).

Nothing reveals Humanity so well as the games it plays. A game of betrayal, where the most suspicious person is brutally murdered? How savage.

So 5* armor never seeming to drop is a universal problem, huh? Good to hear it isn't just me.
Your pull strategy isn't tremendously different from mine. I target synergy first, but the second thing I go for is shit that I don't have... which I guess includes synergy anyway. Basically, right now I'm looking for a few things: mage weapons for most records, magic blink, and a faithga, so banners with a high proportion of these objects are desirable to me. A lot of people seem to focus all of their pulls around a single strategy or group of characters, which I think is a mistake in the long run (look at how many 5+ FF13 items Craze has as he fails to master these ultimates). I prefer to hedge my weaknesses such that I can try a radically different party when I fail an encounter.
If I were you, LockeZ, I would start pulling on any banner with a group cure that also has other items you'd settle for. Pretty much all of the banners available right now are a good candidate, and multiple SSB banners have group cures. I would definitely prioritize a group cure over a hastega. As somebody who has both, you'd be surprised at how rarely I take Sazh's Boon with me, not that there aren't fights were I probably should have (Bahamut SIN).
Anyway, I didn't see any gigantaurs during the first orb phase, so that's a bummer. Got a new 2-star item from daily draw today: Carbon Bangle (I forget... but probably FF7). Currently working on Edward's RM2 (Ingus's dropped in his very first orbfest stage, which is convenient), and leveling up the fresh MC1 characters.
A new 5-star ability comes with the bonus battles tomorrow: Thief's Revenge. Seems powerful. Basically it's a 5-hit barrage for high-speed thieves (only Locke at the moment, if you have his MC2) that also steals HP. The best part is that it doesn't require power orbs to hone.

It depends on what your goal is. My goal is to kit out my favorite characters, and if I can, get the ultimate accessories. Mastery is nice but I'm not usually gunning for it. Gacha games are so very much designed against you anyway, no need to pop a blood vessel over it.
That said, I've quit all my other phone games just to free up time (and money), so I'll probably put more effort into Ultimates soon enough. FF2 event looks easy enough, especially since I'm 99% sure I can R5 Valefor tonight.
I happened to clear the FF2 elites almost perfectly to let my stamina (almost) fill up when phase 2 dropped. That was nice.

Speaking of Valefor and summons in general... Have you noticed how there have been seemingly no summon orb rewards in forever?

I think you'll get all the summon orbs you could possibly want during phase 4 of the spring festival.
I tried to get Minwu's AOE heal and got a generic FF2 bracer instead. Ugh. Better than no five-stars at all I guess. I don't want to spend another 50 mythril on FF2 because I won't be able to spend 100 on Ramza.

Yeah... I really hope we just get a daily with them soon. I'd be happy with growth eggs being replaced with rare summon orb drops on sundaily ;V
Today budgeted about ~5 mythril on refreshes for power orbfest refreshes (big spender i know), but maybe i'll allocate some to the summoning phase as well. I could use the ice orbs there, too.
Do we get bonus battles today? Not that I'll do them with phase 2 still rolling, but I wanna do my 2-3 rolls on the maria/leila banner to see if I should start leveling any FF2 chars past their RM requirements...

Bonus battles are tomorrow, according to the notification. I haven't refreshed for orbs... I couldn't bear to do it, even though all I need to do is tap Auto.
First lucky draw is a dud. Looks like there will be two more: tomorrow and the next day.

sorry your first draw was a dud :<
my first draw is an edgar.
glad to have a sap sb now! but also wow edgar.

I tried to get that Ebon Armor when I got Shadowblade. It boost dark damage, so your Drainga will be awesome. Presumably, the +50% Defense buff on Drill stacks with Protectga/Sentinel's Guard/Draw Fire.
I assume it works with walls and taunts but overwrites shield bash. That's fine with me, especially if I can get him into some Armor Strike shenanigans (i DO have some 4* heavy armor for FF6...)
I think I'm gonna hold off on the other two lucky banners and just do a full pull on FF2 banner 2. As much as I want Minwu's insta-medicaga or Gordon's goddess bell, I think a magick bow, a hastega and a 100% stun aoe all sound very nice.

I would advise against that. The Lucky Draw window is only for the day, so you are either pulling or skipping, and I definitely wouldn't skip. You get twice as many items for the same price.

Oh, it turns out I have 24 mythril right now, not counting the 25 mythril gift. Gotta do a realm dungeon, I guess.
Edit: Nice, got Vanille's 5* group heal + protectga rod, some 5* light armor for Strago (though the fact that I pulled 5* armor at all is already pretty fantastic), two 4* FF1 Knight's Armors that I already had a copy of, 1 4* FF1 Defender that I already had two copies of, and two 4* FFVII Metal Knuckles that I already had a copy of. Definitely a very good pull. ^^
