I've legend dived Yshtola and Ramza so far. Bartz is getting one too if I get some of his relics in the FFV event (350 mithril ready, so I probably will).

I'm probably also going to dive Shadow and maybe Master Monk since they both have strong magicite dungeon speedrun options.

I've fully dived Vanille and Ramza so far. I got Vanille's burst before cat girl's so she was partially dived already. Both are considered the best healers so no regrets. I'm hitting 7k instant group heals with her burst entry and it's not uncommon to get double cast 2k group heals on command 2. Both go even higher on Jump Start when I can slot in a healing potency RM instead of mako might.

I pulled the Legend Materia for Iris and it's a decent pick up. It's rated pretty high since it doesn't reoccur on Prompto's event. It gives her the potential to double cast white. The rate is lower than fully diving Vanille or Y'Shtola but you don't need to spend motes on it either. Also very happy with Noctis Burst and SSB. He becomes a damage machine since everything is instant. And even though the days of SSBs are over his is rated highly and relevant because it gives everyone an instant cast.

I'd really like the burst for Iris but think I'm going to wait for Prompto before trying again. I figure we will start to see a lot of XV events coming up so it should be a good realm to invest in.

I craft Entrust for the newbie quest and I REALLY like having an Entrust battery.

More than doubles the SBs your DPS can cast assuming they don't Lifesiphon themselves.

Using Onion Knight with Lifesiphon+ R2 Entrust but Tyro and Ramza can do it too. Any 5* support can do the Wrath+Entrust version but it's less DPS.

I think it's only mild weakness so any AoE Imperil team should work. I did +3 imperil holy on them, I don't know the exact numbers but imagine I just got a free stacking imperil for "+4". Is it really a huge difference between +3 and +4 imperils?

You need to pull on more FFT banners! My FFT Synergy is almost a whale tier A team at the moment, I pulled for Ramza and Orlandeau so often. There was that bugged draw too that spat out many Shout swords.

Yea I've been gunning for Orlandeau's stuff but only have his SSB so far. Tried a few compositions but haven't had that much success. Managed to get Mateus FF12 with Cloud USB Kain with Fran's Imperil lightning SSB... that stuff is next level broken... jeez

Oh another note, I decided to pull the gun and max dive Vaan with only his BSB... Holy..crap, his damage is insane, and the extra defense stats goes a long way - he was probably the top dps in my nemesis clear (not counting reflect damage), and would always have the most hp after any nemesis move. I also dived Y'shtola but it's been eh so far - nice but not as game breaking as i thought it would be - probably because she's also my wall caster which makes it a little awkward.

For those of you on the fence over the XV banner I've been reading that Noctis SSB is an integral part to a lot of magicite speed runs. It's instant entry and does 6 hits to the enemy. But the key component is that it gives partywide instant cast. Noctis LM is haste plus 3 charges of instant cast so combined with Lifesiphon you can generate a SB gauge ridiculously fast and SSB for the partywide instant cast.

It does return on the Prompto event so you'll be another chance at it. I just wanted to point out how good the SSB is.

Well I pulled after your suggestion, also have an eye on 15 synergy since I see it becoming a common realm eventually.

Got Gladiolus OSB/BSB which is a nice earth element combo ill need for magicite dungeons. Also got Noctis BSB. It's a good start and ill pull on the Prompto event too.

I do have Ramza and Raijin party instant cast but no legend dive for them gives them quick start 3.

All three are solid relics. Gladiolus OSB and BSB synergize really well especially in Jump Start situations where you can BSB for en-earth and then use his OSB for massive damage.

I really like Noctis BSB. Its very solid on it's own. The downside is it's non element so you never get weakness bonuses. The upside is that it's non element so you never get resisted damage. But the instant entry and short cast on cmd 1 turns him into a damage machine. He's a perfect candidate to use Omega Drive. And if you get his SSB you'll want to Legend Dive him asap.

I've been on the fence about the FF15 banner, and think I'm going to pass. I agree we're likely to get more FF15 events down the road, but that's a long ways off with only one other FF15 event in the next 6 months. Magicite dungeons are the near future, and I don't think enough on this banner will improve my magicite lineup.

It's true that party instantcast is a huge part of sub30 sec speed kills for magicite, but I already have Ramza's USB and that's really good for party instantcast, so chasing Noctis's version isn't as important for myself.

I do have Ramza and Raijin party instant cast but no legend dive for them gives them quick start 3.

On the next FFT event Ramza gets a LMR relic that gives him initial instant cast + 100% ATB every first round of combat. It's really solid and worth chasing if Ramza is a core buffer for your team since you can instantly buff your entire team with haste or USB for party instantcast / boost immediately, even on jump start fights that are scripted to start your team at 0 or 50% ATB (his LMR ignores that and starts him at 100% ATB no matter what).

Talk about an awesome surprise, but magicite dungeons were released today with the patch. I wasn't expecting them so soon! We get 1 key per day to a magicite dungeon, and the key is only consumed on victory (60 stamina + 1 key per attempt, both refunded on a loss / retreat).

Good luck to everyone, we've been looking forward to this for months.

You have to beat the 6 basic elements at least once to unlock the holy and dark dungeons.

You have to manually collect your keystone every day from the magicite dungeon screen, and you can stock up to 15 at once, so even if you don't start them right away, be sure to collect your key each day.

Cleared the Sealion (weak to fire) with no medals lost in 49 seconds. Took this team:

Soulbreaks:
Refia - BSB
Thancred - BSB
Onion - BSB
Ramza - USB + Shout
Yshtola - BSB
Video: Sealion Magicite

We actually get another keystone for a cid mission on the first magicite clear, so we can kill two of them today. Think I'm going to give a shot to Lightning Weakness boss next.

Ok, beat Bismark in 55 seconds (water boss, weak to lightning). I lost some medals on him, but still mastered it. Lightning team was:

Soulbreaks:
Desch - BSB, Imperil SSB
Ashe - BSB
Onion - BSB
Ramza - USB, Entrust to Desch
Yshtola - BSB

This feature is really awesome. The fights feel like a steep challenge but with the way magicite levels up each kill, it has a feeling like as you work on this, you can improve your power level over time, which is exactly the way hard content should be handled. I think I'm definitely not going to get any sub30 second kills until I level the magicite a lot more, but that's fine.

So glad we now have something to work towards in this game instead of farming dull dailies every day between events. Excellent update. Can't wait until tomorrow's key so I can try a new element!

I used my second key to do the Bismarck fight again and mastered it this time.

Tomorrow I'm going to try the wind one.

I thought my elemental coverage was better but these fights are wrecking me.

Just over a minute for Fenrir, didn't have the patience to get better RNG on its Physical Blink which ate a Cloud USB entry.

Just under a minute brute forcing Golem with a physical team (you are meant to use magic).

Entrust is the real deal, used it on Golem but not Fenrir... Need to legend dive someone to use it.

Lifesiphon BSB spamming Tyro is great since they all have a brutal AoE Magic attack and he blinks half of then away.

Really enjoyed it and felt good levelling up and combining the magicite. Fenrir helped me take Golem and Golem will help me do the lightning one tomorrow, nice how he magicite you earn help you do the next one.

Would be it a good idea to have a leaderboard for us?

Did Tiamat in 55 seconds. Maria BsB + OSB wrecked face with some entrust action from OK. He ate 2 BSBs and then 4x99999 OSBs in a row, that's one tough MF. I'm really excited about this, though I'm pretty sure I'll be failing horribly soon once i get around to ice and water. Wouldn't mind a leaderboard, seems like a fun thing to do.

I'm traveling and Indonesia apparently blocks reddit... can anyone give me the low down recommendations on magicite? Any particular way to upgrade it or which one to focus on?

A leaderboard sounds interesting, so long as people keep in mind it's all in good fun :)

I'm curious about this myself. I've seen it mentioned that Enkidu is a universally helpful esper, because it's a 40% medica + esuna, which lets you skip a dedicated healer entirely on some of the fights for speed runs. If I find a more detailed info post on what to focus on, I'll copy it here for you.

I did the fire/lightning weak bosses first because those are my strongest elements, but I'm going to struggle to beat the earth, water, and ice weak bosses with any kind of speed. I have a ton of wind relics, but they're all physical except for Alphinaud, so I'm not sure how Golem's going to go. I'm saving him for last anyhow.

If I manage to land a few of Bartz new relics next week, that will fix my earth and water issues hopefully.

Endiku looks great for CMs etc, 40% heal and esuna. It didn't drop for me though, 33% drop rate I assume.

Just looked up who to legend dive for an Entrust battery, turns out fucking Minfillia is the best. She can Lifesiphon and Entrust for a little extra DPS. You also have the option of Gaia Cross and Entrust on some fights which can proc Holy Imperil if she is dived.

It's funny that's what she does in FF14, take all the hits and get kidnapped then give you advice you don't need.

Shelke is supposed to be good for entrust battery setups too. She's the only support5 unit with an initial haste + instacast3 legend materia. If all you want is someone to entrust, it doesn't matter much if you have any relics for her or not.
