DFFOO [JP][New Year Campaign MQ Series 3 Part 1] Shinryu from over a year ago deserves no FR use
17I have had 2 Cloud BT from stray banners since a long time ago, and still no LD (also his FR now) to this day. Oh well, it seems like he is happy to be in storage and I am more than happy to oblige.
Funny how today's quest does not even allow you to use a VII character.
A new mission quest series has started. There will be a new part for each day. Unlike Crevasse, the stages do not scale up to current standards. So when you encounter some of the very old Shinryu just like the one from today, you can pretty much do whatever you want. I chose to treat it like an old Lufenia+ stage and beat it without using FR, just some old school BT + LD character combos, only that some of them come from more modern times.
New Year Campaign Mission Quest Series 3 Part 1
This series revolves around game series character lockouts. From what I can tell, there will be 4 game series involved each time. We may need a bit more sample data, but I assume it is to accommodate games with lower populations and include more than just 3 each time.
Chaos | Idk | 4/5/WoFF
Lufenia | Eight LC | 4/0/WoFF
Shinryu | Krile IW | 4/5/0
It seems like 4 is the dominant series here. WoFF only has 2 characters, so I assume they won't repeat the other 3 game series in another mission quest as well. The same probably will happen to FF1/T/O.
Shinryu: Krile's IW
Not much to say about this. It has very low HP in terms of modern characters' power. So even without FR, with a suitable combo, it is very easy to beat them into submission before the bosses themselves go into FR. You can obviously finish this with FR charging and FR within maybe 3 minutes, I just find it more satisfying to beat them up in the old fashion way.
If you let them move, watch out for the constant HP dmg spam and paralysis. Their FR prevents them from getting broken. Since I am using Dorgann, ideally I still want to finish this before they get there.
They also resist any elements that is not thunder, albeit by only 50% at max. So ... get some BRV dmg up, ignore it ever existed and do whatever you want. It is a nice chance to try out some old + character combo.
Operating around Dorgann BT will keep them away for the most part. Ursula is mostly the dmg support, and the 50% HP dmg cap up is nice for King to spam his HP+. King himself goes twice if something is broken. Unlike most consecutive turn characters, his dmg is actually quite nice (6-7 dumps), Therefore these three work quite well together without exhausting the BT effects.
There is a Shinryu coop for the story chapter attached with nice rewards as well. Don't forget to do it.
That's about it. Enjoy the last day of 2022 and have a happy new year! See you in 2023.
