Mobile Game Monday

[seventhe]

IT'S MONDAY, MY DUDES: this week's discussion is brought to you by Iggy! let's forget how much we hate our jobs and talk about mobile games instead!

[FFRK]
Summer Fest is upon us!! First, let's talk about the lead-in: I pretty much pulled dupes only on the 5 mythril "Realms On Parade" pulls, but hey, stat sticks are cool and it was a cheap fun thing. Between the Lucky Draws and the banner starting yesterday, here's what I have that's new:

• Sazh USB (MAG and DEF/RES boost, Hastega, and Astra): this is BOSS. First, because I love Sazh and if you don't you're wrong; second because it's a great buff to layer with other MAG buffs and Sazh is a rocking support with some shooter abilities too. I have his BSB and SSB boosts as well, so Sazh might have just become my second-main buffer, and may need a mote dive.
• Ramza's Holy Chain: Ramza is already my primary buffer but this means all he's gonna be doing in my party is Wrath/Lifesiphon constantly to spring SB after SB. I have a great Holy team so this is p sweet. And Ramza is super flexible (he's my main buffer), so he can fit on a lot of teams.
• LMs for Noctis & Ignis - these will be useful in realm
• Relm USB (instant heal + stoneskin@30% + instacast) - can't wait to put this into play and test it out
• Braska USB (damage, add fire/lightning free chase) - who doesn't love Braska? I think Braska and Sazh should be friends. NEW CANON.

The rest were mostly SSBs for characters I don't have a lot else for, which usually means I'm not going to pay that much attention to them, sorry guys. I have learnt them all, however, for future in-realm missions.

My goals for the Summer Fest are pretty straightforward:

1. Use half-off stamina to grind the 4* mote dungeons and 3* magicites. Goal is >200 of each mote left after fest, plus working towards L99 magicites to break into the 4*s.
2. Use open dungeons to grind orbs and EXP. Leveling magicites takes a lot of EXP, but I have a lot of characters who could use levels, so that works out. I need Power, Black, Dark orbs like nobody's goddamn business, so I may use some stamina potions there. I have a list of abilities I want to hon eby the end of the fest, but THEN i looked ahead and saw we are getting more 6* abilities, so I may have to grind the crystal levels for each type and just fuse into MOs.
3. Make sure events get completed on time too
4. I have enough mythril saved for 1 pull on each banner. That's awesome! And it's all I'm allowed.

Happy Summer Fest, FFRK players!! Let me see the goodies you've gotten!!

[FFBE]
FFBE is gradually ramping up to its anniversary festival, which I am looking forward to, and therefore saving lapis like a crazy person. however, that's secondary, because i want to point out two great ass things first:

• TODAY I FINALLY PULLED TRANCE TERRA!! I have wanted TT forever because Terra is a fave character of mine, and ALSO because I am still fairly weak in the absolute-DPS-mage department. I was so happy to see her. Fuck I need money and crysts galore to enhance her and I can't wait.
• I fully enhanced Fryevia! Everything to +2 level! She's up as my friend unit for my fellow chainers, although she's nowhere near ideal state: I need the 100% moogle for her TM sword, I'm 99% to L&A from Ingus, and I have Kunshira's TM to farm as well. BUT SHE'S ENHANCED. In her full glory!

So those were this week's big successes. Otherwise, I'm grinding away at the raid, and focusing my stamina right now on the cryst-specific dungeons in the story event. They are amazing. Don't bring a joke team, but do bring Lara Croft and enhanced Xon for cryst drops galore. That's how I got Frye done, that's how I'm gonna finish Olive today, and then that's how I'm gonna grind for TT enhancements, shoot my face.

Currently farming: OK's TM sword, Ingus' L&A, Vanille's TM accessory, Crowe's TM
Currently leveling: Trance Terra, Merc Ramza, Wilhelm, Rosa, Emperor Shera, Bran
Currently enhancing: Olive, TT, deciding on a breaker to go in on

[LN] I'm loving both suits in the desert mirage event which means happy un-diamonds to me, but oh well; that style is my aesthetic and i wants it, precious.

i've sort of stalled out on story because i have to go back and do a bunch of bonus rounds i didn't do for farming crafting, and for some reason my brain is all like eeehhhhhhhhhhh so i spend stamina farming for evolutions instead. i really need to go back and clean them all up. i have super powerful pieces now!

I'm working on crafting Lunar Spell and Yanila Pirate, for the record. But to do that I need to make it to Princess Ch 13 for farming purposes. That sounds like a good thing to do during an afternoon break, yes?

[other] i don't have any other games atm, but i'm considering mobius again because of the FFXII event and my desperate love for XII. Other games I have downloaded on recommendation are Reigns: Her Majesty and DragonVale although I haven't gotten into either yet.

[cat] The real star of the show today is Iggy Usazi Alton Brown Marmalade (Dragomire). He's a shorthair grey marble - instead of the usual tabby stripes, he has dark and light grey marbling in his coat. it makes him incredibly cute. he's the social brother, a little bit of a troublemaker, and a real sucker for belly rubs.

CONGRATS ON TRANCE TERRA! She is awesome. I screamed into my pillow when I got mine, I was so excited.

FFBE - Leviathan 2* is kicking my butt. I've tried about six or seven times with no luck. When even the forums declare a trial to be difficult, you know you are right to be intimidated by it... I'm honestly not sure what to do to beat it. I think I am going to take a break from it and attempt Phoenix 2* instead today.

I'm enjoying the cryst dungeons. Though I took a look at the enhancements and was like eh, there's no one I really want to enhance. I think I might enhance Rem next, just because I tried taking her to Leviathan (she was used as the healer in one of the "how to beat Leviathan 2*" guides). And gods help me, but I am thinking about enhancing Queen. Her enhancements are expensive, though, so I might not do it, but I think she would be fun to play with, and I have plenty of gil from the raids we've been having.

FFRK - really liked the Realms on Parade banners, as that gave me a lot of decent equipment. I swapped out Tifa from my party and put Setzer in instead, because I have two different equipments for him, the Death Tarot and one of his darts, I forget which one. Question! If I master a soul break, does that character then remember it even if they don't have the weapon equipped? I mastered one on my Record Keeper and I want to change him back to a better weapon.

I am not sure if I should pull on the new banner or not. I have just under 300 mythril. I'm also still just doing realm dungeons because I'm not sure what else to do.

Mobius - Enjoying the FFXII event very much! I haven't pulled many cards in this game yet, and I'm still using the Mage job and the cards I got from the Novice Hall. They do the trick. Though I switched out my shared card from Aeroga to Shiva's Blizzaga because the FFXII dungeon has a lot of wind enemies in it, which means Aeroga is useless. I very much appreciate that the dungeon is scaled to your level.

While going through my cards, though, I noticed I had Y'Shtola! So I might play around with that card and see what she does. I've looked at the cards you can buy with ability tickets but nothing seems all that good, so eh.

Dissidia OO, KHUX, FATE/GO - just logging into these for daily rewards, sigh. I wouldn't mind getting back to them, but I can't seem to find the time.

IVE WANTED TT FOR SO LONG AAAAHHHH

I'd love to have a Rem, because she looks fun and also for waifu reasons, but I am literally drowning in good healers and have been my entire career with this game - Tilith, then Ayaka, then LM Fina who is literally just redonkulous.

Soul Breaks - yes! once it's mastered, they don't need that weapon or armor equipped any more.

This first RK banner is a really solid pull IMO - it has a lot of solid supporting relics and there's no real "loser relic" on it.
