Up to 57 sta, levels getting close to 30. I'm hooked.
Haven't gotten anything great on pulls. Using Icebrand 3*, Zantetsuken 5*, Fencing Sabre 5*++ (max iLvl), Hayate Bow 4*, and Blaze Whip 3* as weapons. I've got a few other 3* stuffs for synergy swapping, but also feel like I've got decent enough gears where synergy 1* and 2* items aren't worth it. Two diamond armor 4* and Crystal Helm 4* for my melee plus a Crusader mask 4*++.
Riding a lot of the free event abilities and then getting what I need for mastering an event, haven't honed anything yet. Eeked out Tidus' Memory Crystal before the event was over, and Wakka's was a breeze. EXP dungeon seems like shit, so been ignoring it. Grinding lots of main story with sprinkles of Vive/Garnett event - hope to be powerful enough to snag their Memory Crystals with little trouble; getting Tidus put a strain on my resources, so won't have the gil to combine/synergy my way like I did with that event.
I want to trade out Wakka, but don't have anyone to put in his spot - the gear I have leans towards Tidus (though that 4* bow isn't bad). Any recommendations? Using one spot for BLM (Rydia atm, might switch to Vive), Cloud for melee/spellsword goodness, Tyro as my whatever-needs-done/not-terrible-damage, and then Tidus/Wakka are my next best damage dealers.
