Pulled on the Lucky Banner as well, got 3 relics. Is it just us or has Dena increased the chances for more rainbows then it used to be? Or it could be that sacrificial virgin goat I sacrificed to RNGesus..
While no where near as good as your draw, I finally got what I wanted: Guns! Two in fact. I got FF8 Laguna's Machine Gun and Vega gun, while the last was a Healing Staff for FFT's Ovelia. Excellent since I needed FF8 and FFT synergy.
And congrats on the coat! Good to see your luck with her has made a comeback as well.
If I can offer a suggestion for Steiner and Beatrix; Kill Steiner first. Beatrix activates Climhazard on 70% and 40% health, which can totally ruin your day if Steiner is alive and able to attack next. Took me many tries but I beat it and got Cid's Mission too. Good luck!

After a few tries, I beat the Alexandrians. At first, Eiko was sort of a weak link due to her squishiness. But I shifted my priority and had Garnet open with enveloping warmth, the ssb that can overheal the party for 3k each. Garnet gets the absolute best soul breaks. She's earned her place as best human girl of ff9 in my heart. Like I said, I decided "screw the cid bonus" and went in with Freya, Zidane, Garnet, Eiko, and Leon from ff2. He replaced Steiner because he his bsb moves are all dark damage, and he absolutely shredded the knights. Also, I was afraid the two Steiners would be pulled together and explode into menger sponges due to some filthy acts at fair and reasonable prices. You'll like this though. Everything was going well at first. Steiner went down without a problem. The beatrix fight was going fine until towards the end when she did a 1-hp move and then did an aoe attack that ko'd everyone except Freya and Garnet. Beatrix had like 15-20% of her health left and Freya and Garnet were hurting. But Freya still had her bsb active and Garnet was able to heal. So it became a Rocky Balboa style slobbernocker between Freya and Beatrix. With Freya alternating between the move the gives one ability use back and lightning dive and garnet tossing out curagas. That was easily the most satisfying and thematically appropriate end to a good boss battle that I've ever had in this game. I'll probably give Zidane and the raid fights a shot. But I want to take quistis, yda, braska, and alphenaud into the greens event to master their soul breaks. I got braska's robes from some earlier pull. It's a mediocre ssb, but I could use him as a 10 healer. Plus black magic and summons. I took a look at the ffx event, thinking that if there was a good Auron thing, I'd do a pull. Nothing though. Auron's easily my second favorite dour, wise, all-business, big-red-coat wearing badass in all of final fantasy. Definitely my fav ff10 char. Seymour's bsb is tempting. Seymour himself is kind of lame. Like an even dumber looking Kuja. But Anima is rad. Something for Yuna or Jecht wouldn't be terrible either. I'll probably skip it in favor of tactics and ff4. You're pull was pretty good. I'm dissapointed when I get soul breaks for the same character, (besides best girl) because it's kind of sub-optimal. My friend did the lucky draw and got freya's coat and a couple ff14 relics.

Trying to take a last minute shot at zidane, he's literally one-shotting eiko. Maybe I'll swap her out with lenna or someone. Might toss in Lighting or someone as well. Best girl's doing a ton of damage with her bsb and lightning dive.
Tossing around the idea of dumping 100 mythril into the keeper's choice. I could use Sephiroth's coat and Cloud's shirt. All the ff7 armor that you get is all ass. Shitty bangles and whatnot. If they're ssb's I'll probably do it for the armor and the attack boost.

Yea, sadly Eiko has the lowest HP amongst the mages, all the more reason to hassle Dena to give her her damn Record Dive already!
But yea, I love Freya's new BSB. Lots of damage, wind elemental, an excellent debuff, and replenishing abilities all in one.
However, I found a very shocking surprise as one user reported on the ability: Despite it being a Dragoon ability, it is NOT a ranged attack! Yep, cannot be used against air-borne fiends. That's what someone said, I'm gonna test that theory as soon as I get to a ranged boss in the FFX event. I've yet to do any of it since I was spending my stamina in Green festival and Sunday daily.
As for the Keeper's banner, unless you're missing a Wall or Shout, I wouldn't suggest it. I hear there is a Summoners Lucky Banner that could be noteworthy tho. That is, if you're hankering for mage related relics. I'm most likely gonna pull at least once since i have zero mage BSBs. I'll send the summoner relic information in your inbox.
If you do pull, good luck! Don't forget to make an offering to RNGeses!
As for Zidane, stack up physical defense and leave shellga at home. Maybe some wind-elemental resist accessories.
Edit: Damn, just as I feared. Freya's BSB attack AND her BSB commands can't reach ranged targets. That's total BS man! Sigh.

I did the summoner draw against my better judgement. Got another Hamlin, as well as another eiko flute and an aeris rod. They both do the same thing. A big team heal and reraise. Getting something for aeris was nice, as well as a big boost to eiko. Was still probably a waste though. News of the Freya thing sucks. Range is one of the biggest advantages of her and other dragoons. Really lame. She's still pretty good. And I've been getting over ten rw summons per day so far. So people wanna use best girl and make burmecia great again!

Actually, you'd be surprised at how valuable reraise can be, especially in multiplayer. Lots of players give themselves doom to empower themselves and everyone rarely brings a ability to raise a character from KO. You cast that and everyone will love ya. And you give Eiko extra mind, which is very much needed, congrats! Tho I kinda feel at fault for suggesting the banner in the first place, my apologies. I will commit sudoku right after this post.
As for my draw, I seem to have had better luck: Aeris's Wizard Staff (SSB, Yep same reraise staff), Garnet's Dagger Of Resolve (BSB), Terra's Stardust Rod (BSB), and Tyro's Arbiter's Apocrypha (OSB). I had hoped for something from XIV or for catgirl, but this suits me fine since I finally have a use for Tyro other than casting shield all the time.
As for your RW, did you happen to use that slogan? =P
Oh, how'd you do with Zidane?

Haven't been playing the game as religiously. But I'm still checking in. Got a few decent bsb's. rinoa, rosa, and fran. The little quiz thing is pretty fun. Have you beaten sephiroth yet? I probably tried like eight times, but I think my best is 10/12 questions.

Nice! I've been doing my best to save my mythril for the anniversary except for the lucky draws. I lost to temptation on the first FF7 temptation banner and got 1/11; Cid's SSB spear. Not a huge loss since it'll give my Freya an edge in FF7 realms. I just wish there was a spear somewhere that gives wind and extra boost, OSB preferred so I can finally put my rosetta stones to use...
I couldn't beat Sephiroth by myself since Eiko couldn't keep up with the constant aoe damage, so I had to rely on multiplayer to defeat him. Tough son of a bitch, good battle music tho.
The battle quiz is easier, needed more FF9 questions tho. Most I got was 8/12 early on, some questions are a bit harder than it should.
Also note that that during the anniversary, all realm dungeons will be half-off on stamina use (not to mention that each realm will feature a Cid Mission where a certain 99-level dungeon must be defeated by a party of the same realm). So we may face a evil choice; spend our stamina on orb fest...or realms for extra mythril!?

Welp...the results of our last quiz came out that will determine what relics will be drawn upon in the Ultros Banner, but you're not gonna like who made it to the top 20 favorite characters: 2ndanniv.finalfantasyrecordkeeper.com/research/attack/Terribly disappointed in character section, don't know what to think of the relics, but I'm certainly gonna give it an extra pull or 2 after the free pull since i don't have ANY relics on that page (Wizer rod is a mistake Dena made, used the wrong one). Cat girl's and Onion Knight's gauntlets are my biggest go-to prizes. How about you?

Wait. Which ones the ultros banner? Is that different from the 2year anniversary event?

Post by M&M&M on Mar 9, 2017 22:23:53 GMT
It's basically a survey of who is the most popular character in the FF multiverse and the most wanted relics in FFRK. The latter is chosen for the Ultros banner itself; The top 4 OSBs, the top 4 BSBs, and the top 3 SSB's will be made into the upcoming Ultros Banner this coming Anniversary, which starts around the 25th. Sorry for the confusion.

Oh, ok. So the japanese lists in the event page are completely different than what we'll get? I'll have to keep an eye out then. I really wanted something good for sephiroth, and that first phase of the japanese 2nd anniversary had a couple things for him. Back to the current ff7 event. I have an old unique spear for vii. So I have Freya leading the team with that, along with sephiroth, tifa, aeris, and red xiii. With the bsb, good record materia, and spear/dagger with synergy, Freya is basically a mainstay. I only swap her out for non-ix purple missions when I want to min-max. Her ability to spam lightning dive makes her super op.
Still could really use some ff7 armor that isnt a shitty bangle though.

Yea, he's a real bastard to kill too. >< I only know that they mainly use physical attacks and armed with fire attacks, so fire resist helps alot. Good luck! In other news, there will be a coming Dungeon Update Lucky Draw (Half Cost) coming around the 15th with lots of very good stuff, including Freya's stuff we already have sadly. Still worth a pull tho. Man, they are just doing their best to drain us of our mythril. Here's the info on the upcoming DU Draw: www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKeeper/comments/5wp1l5/vow_upon_a_star_ff_vii_megathread/In another interesting news, in a poll on reddit for favorite characters, Freya is ranked 34 out of 107. That's pretty damn awesome!

Sometimes I gotta remind myself that synergy isn't really that important at all. Tried Rufus today with Zidane and Freya for debuffs and massive damage, Garnet and Aeris for healing, and Leon for dispel and draw fire. Beat the bosses pretty handily. I did have one screw up where Aeris didn't have her ssb equipped. Probably wasnt even mastered. And I went to use it near the end of the fight and got her useless default. So Garnet ended up biting za dusto before the end. But I still managed to champion it.
Also, I noticed that my Freya is still summoned pretty often. There could be a lot more rat lovers out there. Or maybe her attack and defense debuff is kinda useful.
Onward to the ff13 event!

My luck was slightly better; pulled a 2/11 and got 2 FFT items. Delita's Coral Sword and Gaffgarion's armour. I'd be more happy except that the armour appears on a anniversary banner I plan to spend the most mythril on (Banner 5 with Eiko's and Zidane's OSB). I do NOT need more of that armour since FFT synergy is one of the rarest to be needed ><

Got the ff13 event's mc3 today. This time I ignored synergy and blew through the red and purple missions with Wakka, Lightning, Hope, Zidane, and Garnet. Did them all on my first try. Woulda used Freya instead of wakka, but I didnt have a good dagger or spear for 13. Gonna do this first batch of orbfest missions before tackling the ff2 thing. I'm looking forward to the special draws coming up. What relics are you shooting for?

Holy crap, you were able to resist the call of the orbfest to play the FF13 event? INSANE!!! (And also congrats!)
Then again, it ends soon so I can feel ya. What really grinds me is that the FF2 event wasn't made to last AFTER the damn orbfest is over like the last FF5 event from the winter orbfest! Now I actually have to waste stamina to get it done before it ends...
You also aware of the New record Missions that last throughout the spring festival? Only certain characters to complete a certain realm of various difficulty to land you 15 mythril each. Thankfully this lasts a few days after the festival ends so we can take our time...unless we need it for one of the anniversary draws. Man this fest is pulling any punches, is it?
Speaking of draws, unless the banners have changed it's line up, the relics I'm looking forward to the most is Banner 1 with Tyro's USB and Onion Knights Armour. Banner 4 with Zidane's vest, OK's Staff, Ramza's Genji Gauntlet, and Cid's OSB. And finally Banner 5 with Zidane's and Eiko's OSB/USB. And of course the Ultros Banner with OK Gauntlet and Cat girl's BSB. Man so many banners, so little mythril T_T
How about you?

Pulled on today's Lucky Medical Banner, got 2 supers: Minwu's Healing Staff and Lenna's Mace Of Zues. Pretty happy with the synergy since I use a healer in every Multi-Game I play and will be more useful. Hope you have just as good luck.
