FINAL FANTASY: RECORD KEEPER

Ultimate Dream Stooges


Ultimate+ Vargas


Easy fights. With only Power Break, Vargas's Ultimate Gale Cut is very non-threatening. His Bum Rush still hits for 1.4k four times, though, so that can be a problem if you can't kill him fast enough due to his weak phase speed. Power Breakdown and Full Break together should bring that damage way down and you won't need to sprint at the end, though. I was hoping for a Physical Blink but was satisfied with a group Curaga/Hastega for a similar enough effect, because Vargas targets the highest HP with his Bum Rush, such that the damage is spread out and a group cure counters that.
Got a new item from today's daily draw: 2* Gaia Gear (FF4).

Neo Bahamut tonight, though I won't get to it straight away. I have a feeling I'm going to get a third Lullaby Rod. Weirdly close...Got a Yuna weapon: Magistral Rod. Also got a second Aurora Rod (Aeris) and Holy Wand (Arc's group Cura and +RES). So a pretty good pull that netted me two of the things I desire, even if they are on the lower end: offensive white mage and a +RES. Disappointingly, the Holy Wand doesn't increase holy damage. Apparently its SB also damages undead, though that isn't in its description--apparently this is inaccurate. The ability has a damage multiplier against undead, but has no means of actually targeting enemies so its just vestigial fields in the json.

Onion Knight just came out in Japan and looks pretty dope. In traditional Onion Knight fashion, the character is an extremely late bloomer and has sub-core stats until he's up to level 90-ish, and at Lv99 his ATK, MND, MAG, SPD, and HP are comparable to specialists, with solid DEF/RES. He can equip nearly every weapon type, including Tomes. He starts with Mastery-3 in Combat, Support, Celerity, Ninja, Black, and White, but all of these can be upgraded to Mastery-6 via the upcoming Record Sphere grid system. His event also comes with a BSB and two SSBs: One is a Hastega/Boostgs/Faithga, one is physical damage, and the other is magical damage. Seems like a very powerful and versatile character with a high probability to get a strong relic for.
Nightmare Neo Bahamut mastery:


Interesting fight that took me a few tries. My initial attempt used a Stoneskin RW with five summoners, which was wiped by Nightmare Gigaflare. My second attempt switched to Lulu's Focus, but I couldn't survive the endless megaflares in the weak phase, even with both Shellga, a +50% RES buff, and somebody using a party cure every turn. I decided a wall was too critical for this fight so I swapped Aeris for Y'shtola and mastered it with the imaged party.

If you want to destroy the magic orbs fast enough then you'll need either a Hastega, summon SSBs, or be able to stack Faithga effects (which is what I did with Focus and Mana's Paean). Otherwise, you will probably get wiped by Nightmare Gigaflare. You might be able to edge it with Bahamut, but I haven't crafted any 5* Summons yet. I can get in two Swift Bolts and one action from everybody else within the timeframe where the magic orbs become targetable and Neo Bahamut uses Nightmare Gigaflare, which is just barely too weak to destroy the orbs without some oomph behind your spells. Hastega should get you a second action from everybody and win the day.

Did you guys see the new FF mobile game? It's looking like it'd make Record Keeper obsolete.

Complete with a new money sink purchase program.

It looks stupid.
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.

Oh man, I failed pretty hard on Jecht's solo mission.

With Holy Blade materia (recover HP every time you attack), a boomerang that gives attack/mind, and Dismissal and Chakra as his abilities, I can stick him in the back row and have no problems until the boss. But the boss has way too much goddamn HP for my 4000 damage Dismissals to be a threat.

Maybe if I increased Chakra to rank 5 I could get closer to winning, but is it worth spending a major power orb on Chakra upgrades just to get a major power orb as my reward? Uh, I dunno, maybe. I guess Chakra is really good for these solo missions...

If you try it, definitely bring maximum offense for your roaming warrior. I brought a heal + reraise roaming warrior and it was the WRONG CHOICE. I ran out of Dismissals and the boss was still at 75% health.
i'm not sure considering his ridiculously high HP that 2 offensive roamings will actually do their thing. I'd probably consider something Regen/Heal since it is a pretty drawn out battle. (it'll allow you to go a bit lighter on the Chakras, too -- the Regen portion for me is wayyy more useful and impactful than Reraise) Also I had a lot of luck since my only blue sword is Jecht's so he gets pretty powerful but I am still not doing enough damage (Holy Blade + boomerang would be probably pretty helpful indeed, I'll get that!)
also needless to say to ditch defense equipment & acessories and rather go full offense.
Anyhow I tried the Lone Wolf (I think thats it) Record materia but even with the huge STR bonus I was still doing too litte~
With Solitude/Loner RM, my Lv63 Jecht was doing 10k with Official Ball and Blade Blitz R3 + Chakra R3. I still used Attack a lot, which I think was like 6-7k under Chakra. I used the Galuf RW that makes you invulnerable and cut it kind of close. Most people seem to be using Squall BSB for its 4x Fire Blade ability and are saying the fight is super easy. Illy's roamer is Squall, if you need it. I don't see his friend code in the opening post, but in case you missed it: rrsd
oh yeah, the Haste part of the BSB also actually is really really useful in this battle actually.
Definitely worth it over a healing roamer depending on your setup xD

I wish they had an auto-regen acessory...

I ended up doing it with Cloud's burst soul break. I've got a really really good one in my roaming warriors who has over 400 attack power without synergy, and the sweet motorcycle flips did 55000 damage on their own. You don't even need attack skills after that, just use Quad Cut.

Here's the easy way to win, then.

Prep
- Jecht with about 400 attack power
- Feed him eggs until he's about 35000 XP from gaining a level
- If you have any good FFX armor, give it to him
- Give him the 3*++ FFX bracer and the FFX +def accessory if you don't have any good FFX equipment, because the MND will improve Chakra.
- Rank 4 Chakra (you can get away with rank 3 if you have real FFX armor or a blitzball)
- His second ability can be any damage-dealing skill at all
- Give him a materia that significantly improves his damage with his weapon.
- Rebel's Might materia is better if you have more than 425 attack, or have a blitzball.
- Cloud or Squall's Burst Soul Break as your roaming warrior

Strat
- Put Jecht in the BACK ROW for the first two sections of the desert even if he's using a short-range weapon.
- He'll still one-shot the birds from the back row.
- Use your damage-dealing skill on the non-bird enemies.
- Before entering the third and final section, move him to the front row (unless you have a blitzball for him).
- Use Chakra liberally, any time you're missing more HP than it heals.
- Use your burst soul break on the boss, use Quad Cut or Fire Blade twice, then use your burst soul break again. If the boss is still alive, keep using Quad Cut or Fire Blade until you win.
Craze

2x Chocobo Brush and my third Wyrmfang -- it's now my first 7* mage stick. I have received one WF off of every banner it's been featured on, I think XD

okay back to working 23/7

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

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

I'm so happy right now.

BRB, using all my growth eggs on Y'shtola.



It's so beautiful I think I'm gonna weep.

There are too many ultimate bosses right now. If they insist on having two events at once, I'm glad one of them requires no stamina, but holy shit does it require time. And of course the nightmare dungeons are going simultaneously and also I still need 15k gysahl greens by next thursday to get the accessories I want.

I still think they could make a billion dollars if they let us pay $3 to make an event stick around permanently.

i would definitely do that, lockez. i hope we do get that option in the future.

i now have every SB for the princesses of tycoon. gonna save up myth for Gabranth and Cid Raines events at this point, or Mobius if we get it (seems doubtful :< )

edit: i also got thyrus, yda's mnd/crit buffga, and the resistance debuffing shared sb evoker's horn that i think will actually come in handy
Holy shit on a random whim of "I don't really care, all my mythril draws have been utter garbage" I was on the verge of quitting, when this happened today;



I can finally play like one of the big kids.

That image sure doesn't work. What'd you get? (Wall, presumably?)

I finished mastering the Big Bridge today. Adel was the hardest (in fact, the only one that took me more than one try). I fucking ANNIHILATED Bahamut-SIN with Tidus's SSB, since it's a water-elemental single-target attack. Final Gilgamesh was actually really easy, due to spending the first couple rounds giving my entire party big chunks of their soul gauges for free. You have to beat his final phase before he counterattacks 15 times, but he doesn't counter soul breaks so I think he only countered me... 4 times?

That's weird, I see it >_> does anyone else have the image problem LockeZ has for my previous post?

Also yes, SG on a 3x pull.

I suspect it's in your Google Drive private files. Use your RMN locker!

I tried it from a second browser to make sure it wasn't just me.

Grats on Sentinel Grimoire. Easily the most important ability in the game.
yeah i can see the image perfectly
