Final Fantasy: Record Keeper - Mobile Gaming Cash Grab

Thing I could use the most now is a strong healer bsb so did 3 pulls, missed it, but did get alphinaud's bsb.

Anyone not egg their first lvl 99 when mc3's came out? Curious when ppl hit 99 if not. I just hit 99 on my first mc3 last week.

Thought torment dungeons were tonight? Either way, I'm unlikely to do the CM thanks to poor 5 synergy. Should be able to do normal clears though (hopefully). Going to try out Vanille as the healer with her ether medica, Tyro support with wall, Cecil backrow with a bow and BSB using taunts to tank, with Ashe and Ramza using their BSB to aoe/dps.

That's the initial plan at least. No doubt it's going to need some tweaking to pull out a win, but since it's 0 stamina per attempt (until you win), it's no loss to try out various strategies.

Well, my original plan worked for D200 mastery, but don't think it will work on D250 since I ran low on hones near the end, and D250 is even longer. Think I'm going to have to break some of my other bsb users to 99 like Beatrix to give imperil holy aoe, which should boost the overall dps of my team enough to last till the end. Probably going to need to wait until next time to do the 250, depending how long it stays open.

Ouch... Beat the 200 one.

Greg: Lifesiphon and Fire Blossom. SSB and BSB
Lenna: Curaja and Shellga. SSB.
Tyro: Multi-Break and Heathen something. Wall and BSB.
Rinoa: Valefor and Chain Firaga. BSB
Serah: Meteor and Chain Blizzaga. BSB

RW: Onion Knight

I got nothing but waves of flying pigs. The first was only two pigs but was rough. But I had Ace Striker on Greg and once I had his gauge built up it went well.

The boss pigs actually weren't that bad with all of the mitigation up. I loaded it all up on the last trash wave as recommended. It just st took forever to work all three down evenly. I relied on BSB commands from my Mages to avoid running dry of hones. But it really reinforces why I need a healer BSB.

I beat the 250 version afterward and it was TIGHT. I was on fumes by the end.

Not sure I want to tackle the CM just yet. Maybe tomorrow but I'm not sure I'll pull it off. I'm not diving Faris for Dancer just for this one CM.

Yea I tried straight for CM and got wrecked, couldn't do enough damage with just Bartz BSSB and spells - BSBs are basically mandatory for these fights. Tauntalilate negates all the trash damage but doesn't make it fast by any stretch, and you will run out of hones just auto attacking - Greg's BSB really feels like it would be amazing for inbuilt tauntaliate. Think i'll finish Orb Fest and then try again, or wait until we get Tritorch / Valiagarmandabaababa.

Tried a few things with 250, but hasn't worked out yet. Pigs being immune to holy really throws a wrench into the group I had planned to do with lots of holy and imperil holy. It's really hard to fit earth, fire, and ice onto a physical team.

I think I'm going to try another route with something like:

PCecil -- gaia's cross, shellga -- BSB
Auron -- lifesiphon, flameblossom -- BSB
Ramza -- lifesiphon, fullbreak -- BSB, Shout, Tailwind
Tyro -- curaja, magicbreak dance -- Wall
Vanille -- curaga, blizzaja -- ether medica
RW: Onion BSB

I've actually got a fair amount of good magic soulbreaks, but I don't have many high end magics honed. No meteor, all of the 5* magic/summons are either rank 1 from freebies, or rank 0, so kind of feels like I have to go physical.

Don't really have time to give it more tries right now though.

So I thought hey I had a good FFXIV pull, I'll try my luck on the FF5 and hope to pull a good BSB / SSB to attempt Torment CM! Bad Idea 1/11 Galuf's SSB.... Just gave in and smashed D200 with a mage team that worked out pretty well... may try something similar for D250 but I feel Celes would need to fit somewhere since I have runic:

Maria: Chain Bilzzaja R2 / Ruinga R4 (BSB, Devotion)
Alphanaud: Bahamut R4 / Tiamat R1 (BSB, SSB, +magic RM)
Papalymo: Meteor R2 / Protectga R2 (Faith/Hastega SSB, Mako Might)
Echo (!): Multi-break R2 / Magic Down Dance R3 (Hastega SSB, Mako Might)
Y'shtola: Wrath R4 / Curaja R5 (Wall, BSB, Ace Striker)

I can't think of a way to do CM atm without either Krile's Sheep Song or Greg's BSB.... I do have Lenna's mini-shout but it's REALLY awkward to use. Right now it feels like CM will only happen after the Summoner Abyss gives Tritorch, considering I'm also short of motes to get 5* Dancer for Faris as well which the FFXIV MP should give.

I've been trying the CM this morning with this team:

Gilgamesh: Lifesiphon and Fire Blossom
Lenna: Curaja and Shellga
Faris: Full Break and Heathen Something
Krile: Ruinga and Chain Firaga
Exdeath: Meteor and Chain Blizzaga
RW: Wall

I had an attempt where they were all at a sliver of health and then things spiraled out of control. My second attempt wiped me around 50%.

My first attempt that I lost I had two major things go wrong. First I didn't think about the interaction between Greg's BSB innate Draw Fire and Exdeath's Grand Cross. So early on Greg was eating single target spells instead of Exdeath. That caused some unnecessary damage and I had to watch some hones while waiting for the BSB to wear off. My second issue was Krile got hit with Rainbow Veil which Blinded and Silenced her. That took her out of the fight. Based on that I THINK I can beat the CM but it's very hard.

The biggest issue with the CM is lack of a native wall. I RWed it but once it wears off the damage spikes drastically. If they use a lot of single target spells than Exdeath can eat them but once they start chaining AOEs it gets dicey fast. The 5 star dance Multi-Break is very useful in this fight when I beat it with an A-Team but, like I said, I'm not going to dive Faris for one ability for one fight. Besides I'm not even sure I have the motes to do it after diving Onion Knight, Quistis to Black 5 and Alphinaud for Black 5.

I used Mako Might on my healer and on my wall user. Those were ones I don't mind having extra charges of. Greg with his BSB I used Ace Striker since I figured I wanted as many gauges as possible over the long term. It was a bit painful getting that first charge but after that he never had SB issues.

The 250 wasn't radically harder than the 200. Just a lot more trash. The boss pigs didn't take as much damage due to increased stats but they weren't doing significantly more damage so it wasn't too bad to control.

The CM is just hard though. I'm pretty sure I can do it but it's going to take a lot of stars lining up to pull off. Consistently my issue is Krile dying early so I lose my haste and her damage.

Chris Not sure how badly you want Gilgamesh's BSB but remember that it's on Keeper's Choice 2. That's where I got mine. A lot of the stuff is dated but it's a Guaranteed 5 Banner plus you get to pick a piece of armor. It's an option because that I mention because it's not likely to come back anytime soon. It's on the current V banner but our next V event is a solid 5 months away.

But if you're like me you're, likely, tapped on Mythril. With all the bonus Mythril over the last week I just got back to 50 today. I'm allocating that to XIII Banner 1 hoping for Vanille's BSB. Right now, more than anything else, I need a Healer BSB so I'm likely to pull on any decent banner that features one. It really stings getting everything on the XIV banner EXCEPT the healer BSB. Especially because I have it on Japan and it's ridiculously OP.

CM down. Like I said, I needed a run with everything to line up and I got it. I didn't bother trying to master the fight since I already did that.

For the D250 I replaced Alphanaud with Celes running Gaia Strike / Snowstorm Strike R1 and it worked like a charm especially for wave clear... though I did have to S/L a few waves that 1-shotted my guys with some wind spell. Found the flaw in Y'shtola BSB that doesn't generate SB gauge, which would have been nice to have for sure, but you can't complain with a wrath-able healer. Pretty sure I cast wall at least 4 times in the last round and 2-3 Asylums. Some thoughts running through my head when running it:

1. Wrath R5. Also Wrath is so good.
2. Meteor may be worth getting higher than R2 for wave clearing, especially if you're not running a summoner
3. Native wall and hastega is mandatory, and bssb healers seem to be but not sure if high Regen can take the pressure off
4. Noticeable difference in surviveability for those level 99 units. Damnit they need to release those RM3s faster!
5. Maria so good.... she was hitting 24k commands without weakness.

Random ramblings, good luck to those still trying. D250 is a huge slog but really fulfilling

Tonights Ultima Weapon felt "easy" compared to the torment stuff from yesterday. Guess that's going to be the case for most non-torment content from now on.
