Mobile Game Monday

[seventhe]

welcome back to the only series that hates to love ya but loves to hate ya! today's mobile game monday is brought to you by Rosa, who has been trying to save my ass in RK and failing miserably, and my stupid fuckchild step-son cat Imp playing Playstation games.

[FFRK] i decided that to get back into the game (i've been feeling a little bored and unmotivated lately) i was going to make myself focus on 4* magicites. I have already torn apart the Earth 4* magicite, Midgarsormr, so I went on to the Lightning magicite, Ixion, who is weak to earth. (The magicites are set up so that proceeding clockwise, if you can, means that the magicite drops you gain and equip are useful on the immediate next stage -- ie Midgarsormr drops magicites like "increase earth damage" which you then equip to take out Ixion, who is weak to earth damage.)

yeah so Ixion sucks. he is a bag of electrified dicks. I have tried with a mage earth team; i have tried with two different physical earth teams; i have tried with 2 entrusters; i have tried with 1.5 healers; i have tried the Physical Blink strategy; I have tried adding magic blinks to that strategy; i fucking hate this horse ass.

the thing is that i can get REALLY CLOSE but then i run out of either hones or buffs (which then mean i start dying very much), so i think my strategy(ies) is(are) okay and maybe it's just RNG? My mage attempt focused on Maria, who is L99 and has full dive, with BSB and OSB to dish out damage, using Mog for buffs and support heals with Rosa/Relm as main healer, and with Edge spamming his PBlink as much as possible due to An Entrust Bot (in my case, Shelke). it gets super close and still has hones, but just can't survive for whatever reason - and there's really only 1 damager, because Edge takes the earth ninja skills but with no buff to increase his damage. My physical teams have cycled through Orlandeau (USB, Earth Saber), Dorgann (USB, Earth Saber), Bartz (USB, that 4 hit earth spellblade), and Edge with the earth ninja skills, but these teams suffer from not having super dedicated support and running out of hones & dying.

I think I need to move on to another one, but I'm so angry at sparkyhorse that i'll probably try again tonight, fail, and get very angry. wooo!

[FFBE] first exciting bit is that i beat the (whatever the name of the star ocean event thingy is) boss -- usually I don't even try them because i always feel like i'm a tier below that kind of content, but i read my lady Althea's post on it and decided to give it a go. so that made me feel pretty cool in the grand scheme of things.

second exciting bit is that I pulled Squall from the current FF8 event! oh ff8, i will always love you and your amazing awful characters and your nonsensical story. you are precious. obviously i'm now telling myself not to keep pulling for another Squall (7*, baby!) or a Rinoa to complete the set, but i totally wanna. I'm leveling Squall up now and I'll probably put him up as my friend unit - I had Olive for the Raid, but there are now a thousand million 7* Olives taking over the FList so probably nobody needs mine.

fucking Onion Knight is at 99.9% trust master but just will NOT drop that last 0.1% and i am so angry! Fryevia is at like 99.5 so i may just do some trust farming tonight to wrap those up because i get angry every time i look at Onion's stupid face.

BE focus for this month is to keep up with events but ALSO get through Chapter 2 of the story, because it seems if i complete it before September I get a nice tasty trust moogle.

[LN] stupid love nikki and it's stupid suits! I REALLY WANT THAT DEER, but i'm out of diamonds FROM THE LAST EVENT so i am just sadly plodding along and buying rando animal parts from the collection. i'm at a point in the story where i need to farm a certain suit to proceed, and i keep using my stamina up elsewhere & forgetting to farm it, which sucks.

i literally do not understand the source code event. maybe something is broken in my app because i don't know what the fuck i should be doing.

so those are my horrible frustrations!! (despite the snide tone of this post i am obviously enjoying some of the challenges, i'm just a whiner today because what is instant gratification.) how about y'all? weekend udpate, gaming update!

I've been playing Hogwarts Mystery, which is interesting. The energy system isn't great, but because I don't have much time to play, it works out anyway, lol. Finding the story surprisingly interesting so far, but I'm only in the beginning of second year.
