Zell crit lmr. I guess it can be nice with his USB. Also got Faris imperil USB yesterday on the daily. Sounds like it could be useful.

Any chains in the upcoming fests?

Yes, at least one. The only thing that's confirmed is Edward's MND/magic holy chain on banner 3 together with Elara USB2, P.Cecil USB3? and Celes ASB.

JP also got Ramza's holy chain, Red XIII earth chain, and Gilgamesh's Fire chain. Though our banners are completely different from JPs because they swapped everything around.

Really was hoping for an ice chain (futile, I know) and did pulls on XIII and VIII and got nothing but dupes. Lightning LMR2 and Quistis BSB.

Did a rage pull on IX RoP and got Amarant USB (dupe) lol.

T-0: dupe trash 5*
T: dupe trash 5*
XV: new trash BSB
XIV: dupe trash 5*
XIII: dupe trash 5*
XII: dupe trash 5*
XI: dupes trash + Shanttoto LMR1 (that's okay)
X: dupe trash 5*
IX: dupe trash 5*
VIII dupe trash 5*
VII: du... SEPHIRTOH ASB!!!! Finally something amazing

I'm so gonna pull on his AASB banner since I nearly have a complete Sephiroth even though I never really chased relics for him.

Vincent USB. I think I have almost a full Vincent now. Not sure it's gonna get much use though as I almost only use him for Chain at the moment.

Well, got Manticore down to half health first try. My magicite decks are incomplete though, just Dampen Ice 8 and no wards are making me die way too fast

I'm tempted to pull on Fire banner for Terra or Vivi or Ice banner for a chance at a chain but I only have 150 mythril... Probably not a good idea.

Ice banner isn't worth it for chain, IMO. Snow chain is basically the worst chain overall, because the chain itself is meh (gives 2000 HP Stock) and Snow is a terrible character otherwise unless you have his good relics.

Locke also has a terrible chain but Locke is a better character overall if you don't have his good stuff.

5 dupes on the ice banner, and of course they have to put in an ice chain, which I need.

Emotionally I feel the need to pull, but rationally I know I should wait.

That being said, no ice chain means I'm not really going to try the new wind torment. No thanks.

Im so tired of Marilis, but I really need to finish my deck for this

Thinking about it again, the next recurrence of an ice chain is far into the future no?
I think the next VIII event will have Laguna's Chain, and it will be around the end of January

And then Serah's Chain mid-February

edit: Also, Celes will also get an Ice Chain on 4A

IIRC be aware that the first banner is mostly New Fire Squall Tech (AOSB, BUSB, LMR and even BSB2 but Fire!). I think it's the second banner which has Ice Tech.

FFX - Auron USB Alkaid. I remember using this for that Judges fight. Not bad, I suppose, just not sure where I'd fit it in most of the time.
FFIX - Steiner LMR. Not even the double cast one, c'mon.
FFVIII - Rinoa LMR1... literally OOF. This is the only LMR out of her four that I already had.
FFVII - Cloud USB2, which would be awesome were it not a dupe. Least it's Wind+.
FFVI - Locke LMR.

29.60 on Manticore. Haven't managed to beat Mateus yet.

What a surprise to get two elements today! I'll probably take a look at the wind Magicites next year. :)

2/3 : Got Locke Glint and USB. On one hand I'm happy about the pull (2 relics for the same character, what were the odds?) but on the other hand... fire again? It feels like 2/3 of my relics are fire based (and physical for that matter even though my chain is magic :/ )

First 5* defeated.

My party is
Tyro - USB3, LMR
Ovelia - USB
Terra - USB1, AOSB
Vincent - CSB, BSB2
Krile - USB1
Rw Fabula Priestess
Main Mom Bomb (Phoenix would help, if I could beat it)

Getting my haste dispelled and not being able to break rage were a pain to deal with

Whoa. Pulled a 6* on the daily today - Kain USB1

So on the one hand, I really wanted this for Kain. I have his CSB and Ignis BSSB, which means I can now run that busted Kain setup. And it's my first Lightning+ weapon (of any kind). So great get, definitely.

On the other hand, I've sub-30'd Famfrit (albeit with RNG; maybe this will make it more consistent) and don't need any more. BUT I still haven't done FFIV D??? Torment, so this is definitely a major boost there. Should definitely be able to hit 50%, if nothing else.

This is only my second disco since this started, with the last one being 87 days ago. Oddly enough, both of them have been lightning USBs (Shantotto/Kain).Lightning USBs on chain holders, no less (though I only have Kain CSB). Weird coincidence.

Running tally:

23/114: 3/4/5/ 2/3/3/3/3/3/5/ 4/3/2/5/ 4/2/5/ 2/2/1/3/1/5/ 2/3/4/6/ 2/2/5/ 3/2/1/4/5/ 3/3/4/3/2/4/3/4/3/4/4/2/3/4/1/1/5/ 2/3/2/4/4/4/2/3/4/5/ 4/5/ 3/1/3/5/ 2/3/5/ 5/ 1/2/3/5 /3/2/4/5/ 1/4/4/4/3/3/2/2/2/5/ 3/5/ 5/ 4/2/3/5 /5/3/4/2/3/1/5/ 2/4/3/3/3/1/3/4/1/6

Question about orb farming: I still need a ton of Major orbs so I naively run the major orb dungeons for farming. Would it be more efficient to only farm crystals and convert them to major orbs as needed? Seems like running out of money could be a thing though?
