Stuff Did Today (FF X-2): Won the Chocobo Cup... ALOT... maxed out my team's Magic Defense, then went through Grand Cup: Hard again... this time with the added levels and stats I had a fighting chance agianst Tonberry The Ripper... ya know if he left Chocobo alive as long as possible and killed Battlesnake right away... anyway, was able to unlock Youth League Cup which I'm not quite able to beat yet... sigh...
Stuff Did Today (FF XI): None
Status & Notes:
Okay, so massive amount of training in X-2 today. Maxed out everyone's Magic Defense and got into the Youth League Cup. Here, I can beat some of the people, including the Weak Squad, so that's good. However, I can't beat everyone yet, which means I can't farm for Shmooth Shailings yet... the shortcomings of my team are pretty obvious...
Firstly, I need to get more HP on my team. This is really a money issue. I just need a crapload of money to buy Titanium Bangles to up the HP of my team... that and my Chocobo's defense is absolutely horrible... alos, I really need to just get the Adamantite off my team. Battlesnake is absolutely useless right now, like he never gets an attack off.... sure he's a good tank, but, really at this point I need some damage output...so basically I can farm Shiva for a while to get lots of Crystal Gloves and get a bunch of gold while I'm at it and turn that into HP....
Or I can just start moving on with the plot and come back in a bit... I'm actually not sure which path I'm going to choose on this. Really, once I can farm Youth League Cup, all that's left is to farm it for Shmooth Shailings so I can up my Speed... thank god... will make the rest of everything so easy...
Your team is just not focused enough. You have too many varied moves for each of your guys. You really want to tailor each creature to only use one or two attacks constantly. With the creatures you have and their current stats I'd say it should be Chocobo - Meteor, Tonberry - Darkness, and Battlesnake - Full Auto. Nothing else. So remove Sparkler and all those other attack moves, and replace them with junk like Esuna and Life that shouldn't get used very much at all.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'd suggest putting the Adamantite on Tonberry instead. He'll have a ton of life and be a literal tank. He's already slow so that won't matter much, and if he's just spamming Darkness anyway then I don't believe he needs to charge up his ATB bar again between casts so the speed doesn't matter at all. This will free up your Battlesnake to attack more often.
For the Youth League Cup, yes, HP is pretty much required. Nooj's Lightfall attack does 5000 damage to all your creatures no matter what (unless you're invincible) so the only way to survive is to up your HP total. You can use Bangles of course, but don't forget about regular items like your Potions and Hi-Potions. If you're sitting on 99 of them anyway, might was well dump half of those into a creature and make room to collect more. Also items like Soul Springs, or one of those Springs anyway, will give a good chunk of HP, and you're most likely never going to use those either.
