Balthier's Capella is one of the better SB weapons, congratulations! He's one of the game's top characters, no doubt.Thanks for the help and links. I did the beginner 11 relic banner and some special half off 11 relics for 25 mithril banner. Ended up with a 5* relic from each (capella for balthier and healing grimoire for tyro). I chose tyrfing from the free choices, and got a 5* dagger (danjuro) from the tutorial. The team I'm running now to use those 4 relics are cloud, balthier, wakka, ashe, tyro.
I tried the retaliate thing, but at least at my level (around level 27'ish) every single boss fight is over in 1 round just from using the friends you can take into combat. I read that most characters are limited availability, so I guess my goal is to try to powerlevel as much as possible and finish this special event for vaan before it's gone for a long time.
Fun game, and I'm really digging the classic music. Nostalgia overload.
I have two rinoa thrown caster weapons, and I just DGAF. I'll struggle through it for the mithril and some free gear (and MCs), but I need to focus more on the core dungeons for stamina.FF8 is my favorite realm but I have no character relics there.
Laguna's a solid machinist/combat character. His stats are basically equivalent to Lightning/Squall/Cloud, with good ability selection (machinist 5, combat 4, celerity 4), but his weapon selection is a bit limited.I pulled Edea's relic and Laguna's jacket. Is Laguna any good?
Stop using two healers. Ashe is a black mage, not a white mage.My team's now around level 43'ish, making steady progress through the story dungeons. Using the team Basch, Balthier, Vaan, Ashe, Tyro. I recently got a hero's soul item which lets me trade it to unlock any character of my choice. From what I read, Kuja will be added as a very strong mage in an event soon, so I'll probably swap Ashe for him when that happens. Is there a unit I should swap into my current team using this hero's soul to make it stronger? I have a lot of those growth egg things to catch them up easily enough.
The main problem I seem to have is healing AoE damage. I looked through the spells to craft and I can't really find aoe healing? The harder fights I tend to have to just race against the clock to win before a bosses aoe wears down my team. Ashe and Tyro both spend all their turns casting single target cures trying to keep up, but it feels inefficient. Where's the white wind ability or whatever to counter aoe nukes?
