In the Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia (DFFOO) mobile game, you get a Sphere every time you Purple an Ex weapon or get it to Ex+ 3/3. These Spheres increase stats like Attack and Max Brave. Each character has 3 Sphere Slots.
Chars that appeared in part 1 won’t be mentioned again here unless I’ve made changes to their Spheres or something. Chars with only Refined Spheres or RF Spheres won’t be included either.
Aerith or Aeris Gainsborough from Final Fantasy VII
In part 1, I said that my Aerith Gainsborough was fully MLB and Purple and that I was planning to pull for her upcoming LD after which I’d fill out her Sphere Slots.
Aerith’s Sphere Slots are A, C, and D. Although she is a support slash healer, most, if not all, of her stat gains are based on her Attack. For instance, she can increase HP Recovery and BRV gain based on her Attack stat. So the best Spheres for her are those that increase the aforementioned stat. Her secondary stat is Initial Brave, but she also has a Max Brave aura, so increasing that isn’t a bad idea either. So I’d give her the following Spheres that increase the Attack stat:
- Noel Kreiss’s (from Final Fantasy XIII-2 and Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII) A Sphere
- either Queen’s (from Final Fantasy Type-0), Lyse Hext’s (from Final Fantasy XIV), or Deuce’s (from Final Fantasy Type-0) D Spheres
- either Garnet Til Alexandros XVII’s (from Final Fantasy IX), Maria’s (from Final Fantasy II), or Alphinaud Leveilleur’s (from Final Fantasy XIV) C Spheres
From part 1, I said my tentative plan was to give Aerith the following Spheres that increase her Attack:
- Vaan’s (from Final Fantasy XII) A Sphere
- either Garnet’s, Maria’s, or Alphinaud’s Spheres, whichever one Aeris can consistently and constantly proc
- either Lyse’s or Deuce’s Spheres, whichever one doesn’t go to Tifa Lockhart (from Final Fantasy VII)
Noel’s Sphere already belongs to someone else so I can’t give it to Aerith so I thought about giving her Vaan’s instead. I have Vaan’s, Lyse’s, Deuce’s, and Maria’s Ex weapons. My Garnet is Purple so I already have her Sphere. I’m missing Alphinaud’s Ex. Queen is an upcoming new chara so I don’t have anything for her yet.
What Actually Happened:
Aerith’s LD showed up before Tifa’s so she got first pick from the Spheres I had available. She now has the following equipped:
- Vaan’s (from Final Fantasy XII) Full HP Attack Up A Sphere
Raises ATK by 10% while HP is MAX
Aeris is a healer so she shouldn’t have much issues in keeping this Sphere’s effect active.
- Garnet Til Alexandros XVII’s (from Final Fantasy IX) HP Heal Attack Up Longer C Sphere
When recovering own HP:
• Raises own ATK by 10% for 6 turns
The issue with this is the fact that Aeris only recovers HP whenever she uses her skills or Ex. Her skills don’t deal damage, so it’s not a good idea to spam them. Her Ex does charge fairly fast enough, and the turn duration for this Sphere is 6 turns, so, after thinking about it some more, I figured this should work well enough, especially when compared to Maria’s and Alphinaud’s, both of which only last for 3 turns.
- Deuce’s (from Final Fantasy Type-0) All Buff Attack Up 3 D Sphere
Raises party’s ATK by 5% with 3 or more active buffs
Was able to get Deuce’s LD so I figured I might as well Purple her instead of Lyse who doesn’t even have an LD yet. Queen’s is better than both of them since it has a secondary stat but I didn’t want to wait that long before giving Aerith a D Sphere.
I’m happy enough with my Sphere choices for Aeris so, at the moment, I’ve no plans to change them anytime soon.
Terra Branford from Final Fantasy VI
Terra Branford (from Final Fantasy VI) wasn’t listed in part 1. I like her well enough but I didn’t think I’d be able to go for her Burst or LD. Was able to acquire her LD though and her Burst actually came home twice so I decided to show my appreciation by giving her Spheres.
Actual best or perfect Spheres for Terra:
Terra’s Sphere Slots are A, D, and E. She’s a magical DPS so Spheres that increase her BRV damage, Attack, or Magical Attack is best. Due to the increasing BRV damage reduction in Lufenia quests, BRV damage up is preferable to Attack and Magical Attack up. So if I could give her any Sphere in the game, I’d go with:
For her A Sphere, I’d focus on increasing her BRV damage so either Cloud Strife’s (from Final Fantasy VII), Edgar Roni Figaro’s (from Final Fantasy VI), or Vayne Carudas Solidor’s (from Final Fantasy XII) are great choices.
For her D Sphere, I’d go with either Hope Estheim’s (from Final Fantasy XIII) or Queen’s since both increase the Attack and Max Brave stats.
For her E Sphere, Seymour Guado’s (from Final Fantasy X) is perfect since it raises the Attack stat by a whopping 15%.
Cloud’s, Edgar’s, Vayne’s, Hope’s, and Seymour’s Spheres already belong to other chars so Terra can’t have them. Just like with Aerith, I don’t want to wait for Queen to get here before giving Terra a D Sphere. So I ended up giving her:
- Gau’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Full HP Power A Sphere
Increases BRV damage dealt by 10% while HP is MAX
This is similar to Cloud’s, Edgar’s, and Vayne’s Spheres in that it gives 10% BRV damage up. Where they differ is in the activation condition. At first glance, Gau’s seems really easy to maintain but there are enemies who love to HP attack. Sometimes, chars could get debuffs that drain or sap away their HP. These instances may not happen all that often, but they can and do happen so it’s something to take note of.
So if I had other options, I’d prefer to give Terra another BRV damage up Sphere because there have been times wherein she wasn’t at full HP so I wasn’t able to get this Sphere to proc until my healer got her back to max health.
I remember this fight wherein I didn’t have a healer in my main party. Terra ended up taking HP damage. I did bring a healer Call but it wasn’t enough to get her back to full HP. She was missing this tiny bit of HP, and I couldn’t do anything about it anymore because I was all out of healing. It was kinda frustrating but I still won anyway so it wasn’t that bad. Still, these are things to take note of when it comes to these kinds of Spheres.
- Ashelia B'nargin Dalmasca’s (from Final Fantasy XII) Buff Success Attack All Longer D Sphere
After granting buff:
• Raises party's ATK by 5% for 6 turns
Since Terra starts quests with the Esper Blood buff, this Sphere’s effect is also active from the beginning. Her LD, Ex, and base skills give her buffs so any of them can ensure this Sphere will always be active.
- Yuffie Kisaragi’s (from Final Fantasy VII) Debuff Success Attack Boost Up Shorter E Sphere
Raises own MAX BRV, ATK by 10% for 3 turns when inflicting debuff on target
Terra’s base skills inflict 1 debuff so she can easily keep this Sphere’s effect active. The only issues are if the enemies happen to be immune to her debuffs, or if enemies end up having framed buffs or debuffs since Terra’s debuffs are generic and unframed.
I’m happy enough with my Sphere choices for Terra. I mean, obviously, they could be better but the ones I’ve given to her work well enough. So, at the moment, I’ve no plans of changing them.
Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII
I mentioned Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII (#ad) in part 1. He’s equipped with the following A Spheres:
- Jecht’s (from Final Fantasy X) Critical Base Attack Up Shorter (RF) A Sphere
When dealing critical hit:
• Raises INT BRV, ATK by 4% for 3 turns
- Jack’s (from Final Fantasy Type-0) Critical Attack Up Shorter Power A Sphere
When dealing critical hit:
• Raises BRV damage by 5%, ATK by 5% for 3 turns
- Yuri’s (from Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates) Full HP Attack Boost Up A Sphere
Raises own MAX BRV, ATK by 5% while HP is MAX
- Cloud Strife’s (from Final Fantasy VII) Critical Power
Raises BRV damage dealt with critical hits by 10%
Sephiroth is a DPS. He can gain BRV based on his Attack and HP damage dealt, so the best Spheres for him are those that increase his Attack stat (the best of which was Noel’s since it increases ATK by 15% but you can’t stack it) and/or BRV damage dealt (they all give 10% so it was just a matter of picking the one that he can easily proc). I could go with either triple Attack up or triple BRV damage up Spheres, or a combination of both.
I said in the first post that I was leaning towards giving him triple BRV damage up Spheres although I wasn’t sure yet and that I wanted/needed to think about this some more.
What Actually Happened:
Well, I did take quite a while thinking about what to do. Eventually, I made up my mind. Now Sephiroth is equipped with the following A Spheres:
- Edgar Roni Figaro’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Debuff Power
Increases BRV damage dealt by 10% while an enemy is debuffed
- Cloud Strife’s (from Final Fantasy VII) Critical Power
Raises BRV damage dealt with critical hits by 10%
- Vayne Carudas Solidor’s (from Final Fantasy XII) Broken Power
When attacking target afflicted with Break:
• Increases BRV damage dealt by 10%
I Purpled Edgar and Vayne just to get their Spheres and give them to Sephi so, at the moment, I definitely have no plans of overwriting them. I’m actually pretty pleased with Seph’s Spheres since he gets 30% BRV damage up thanks to them.
Ahh, if only he could really take advantage of these Spheres. Unfortunately, he’s been powercrept to oblivion by now so even with 30% BRV damage up, his damage output is subpar and not worth talking about at all. Can’t wait for him to get his rework and update.
Update:
Sephiroth’s much-awaited rework and update has finally arrived. His LD Board’s been unlocked as well. Completed them and also updgraded his armor to Blue. Now he’s doing very well.
Machina Kunagiri from Final Fantasy Type-0
Machina was featured in part 1. Haven’t made any changes to him since then but I mentioned in part 1 that I regret giving him Yang Fang Leiden’s (from Final Fantasy IV) A Sphere (increases ATK and MAX BRV by 10%), and that I was considering removing it from him.
I regretted giving this Sphere to Machina since I didn’t get to use him that much. The only reason he still has this Sphere was because I’m reluctant to use one of my reset stones to remove it, and I don’t have anyone yet that I really want to give it to instead.
Recently though, I found out that Machina got a Burst in the Japanese version of Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. This is super special awesome news. I do like Machina and I’m glad to find out that he got a Burst. Definitely plan to pull for it whenever it shows up in the Global or English version of the game.
Whether I keep Yang’s Sphere on him or not, I do want to fill out all of Machina’s Sphere Slots if I get his Burst. He’s a DPS so Attack up and/or BRV damage up A Spheres should work very well for him. For his B Slot, Celes Chere’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Ability BRV Gain appears to be the best
Increases BRV by 40% of INT BRV after using ability, once per turn
*Also applies to abilities changed from BRV Attack, HP Attack
since Machina isn’t a tank and can’t inflict the lock debuff, which most B Spheres require.
Tifa Lockhart from Final Fantasy VII
In part 1, I said that my Tifa Lockhart was fully MLB and Purple and that I was planning to pull for her upcoming LD after which I’d fill out her Sphere Slots.
Tifa’s Sphere Slots are A, A, and D. She is a single target DPS, so Spheres that increase her Attack and/or BRV damage are the best for her. She can also increase her BRV based on her Attack stat.
So to maximize that BRV gain, I would give her Noel’s A Sphere and one that increases her ATK by 10% like Yang’s. To increase her BRV damage, I'd give her A Spheres like Cloud’s. Or I could go with Noel’s and Cloud’s to increase both. For her D Sphere, Queen’s is the best.
Plans:
From part 1, I said my tentative plan was to give Tifa the following Spheres:
- Onion Knight’s (from Final Fantasy III) Critical Raging Attack Up A Sphere
Raises ATK by 2% when dealing critical hit up to 5 times, once per turn
- Shadow’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Single Critical Attack Up Longer A Sphere
Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns when dealing critical hit to single target
- either Deuce’s or Lyse’s D Spheres
I have the Ex weapons of the aforementioned charas, so all I need to do is Purple said weapons in order to acquire their respective Spheres.
I’ve changed some of my plans since then though. As I write this post, Tifa’s LD is coming very soon. Here’s my updated tentative plan:
- Garland’s (from Final Fantasy I) Break Hit Raging Attack Up A Sphere
Raises ATK by 2% when inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break up to 5 times, once per turn
My Garland is Purple so I already have this Sphere. It’s basically the same as Onion Knight’s anyway, aside from the activation condition.
- Shadow’s A Sphere
Ended up Purpling Shadow to help me farm the Divine Alexander Boards where he’s synergy so I already have his Sphere.
- Lyse’s D Sphere
Already gave Deuce’s Sphere to Aerith and I don’t want to wait for Queen’s, so my only remaining option is Lyse’s. Have yet to Purple her though. I’ll do it after getting Tifa’s LD.
Update: I’ve been thinking about this some more, and I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be better to equip Tifa with an A Sphere that increases her ATK and another that increases her BRV damage. Maybe I could go with:
- Shadow’s or Garland’s A Spheres, probably Shadow’s since Tifa’s one of the few chars who can make use of it
- Leo Cristophe’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Single Power A Sphere
When attacking single target:
• Increases BRV damage dealt by 10%
My Leo is Purple so I already have this Sphere. Like with Shadow, Tifa’s one of the few chars who can make use of this Sphere.
- Lyse’s D Sphere
Welp, ended up Purpling Lyse’s Ex already even though Tifa’s LD banner has yet to drop. Haven’t given it to Tifa yet though.
What Actually Happened:
Tifa’s event and banner have finally arrived. I talk more about how my pulls for her LD went (spoiler alert: it went badly. Very badly) in another post so, here, let’s just jump straight to the Spheres I ended up giving her. Like Galuf and Kadaj, I upgraded her armor to Blue. She’s my 3rd char to get Blue armor.
- Shadow’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Single Critical Attack Up Longer A Sphere
Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns when dealing critical hit to single target
- Leo Cristophe’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Single Power A Sphere
When attacking single target:
• Increases BRV damage dealt by 10%
- Lyse Hext’s (from Final Fantasy XIV) Break Hit Attack All Longer D Sphere
After inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break:
• Raises party's ATK by 5% for 6 turns
Future plans:
Tifa deserves all the hype she got. She’s really freaking good. Super special awesome. Her damage is absolutely amazing. It’s off the charts, especially with her Blue armor. Very pleased with her and her equipped Spheres seem to be working very well too.
Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children
Kadaj from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children is coming soon as a new playable char in Dissidia Final Fantasy: Opera Omnia. In fact, he’s set to show up before Tifa. I’m considering giving him Spheres though nothing’s set in stone yet.
Actual best or perfect Spheres for Kadaj:
Kadaj’s Sphere Slots are A, A, and E. He’s a debuffer with DPS capabilities so maximizing either his ATK and/or BRV damage is best. So for his A slots, I could go with the same setup as Tifa’s - Noel’s and Yang’s, or Noel’s and Cloud’s, or Cloud’s and Edgar’s, or other such similar Spheres. For his E Sphere, Seymour’s seems to be the best.
Kadaj’s main gimmick is being able to put a gold frame around his debuffs. Gold-framed debuffs can’t be dispelled no matter what. Kadaj is the first char to get this mechanic. So far, in the Japanese version of DFFOO, he and Sephiroth are the only ones with gold-framed debuffs. Sephi will get this mechanic with his upcoming rework and update.
Anyway, if you give Kadaj an E Sphere that inflicts a debuff (such as defense down from Ultimecia’s (from Final Fantasy VIII) Sphere), then he'll also be able to gold frame said debuff. If you use a Call that inflicts the same debuff but with a higher potency, that will overwrite the lower potency debuff but the debuff itself will still be gold-framed thanks to Kadaj. So giving him these kinds of E Spheres are also an option.
Plans:
I was thinking of giving Kadaj the following Spheres:
- Onion Knight’s A Sphere
- Oerba Yun Fang’s (from Final Fantasy XIII) Break Hit Attack Up Longer A Sphere
Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns when inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break
I have Fang’s Ex but she’s not Purple.
- Exdeath’s (from Final Fantasy V) Debuff Attack Up
While enemy is debuffed:
• Raises ATK by 10%
Currently missing Exdeath’s Ex, which is unfortunate since it seems perfect for Kadaj considering he’s a debuffer and his debuffs can’t be dispelled once he gold frames them.
- The Emperor’s (from Final Fantasy II) Debuff Success Attack Up Longer E Sphere
Raises own ATK by 10% for 6 turns when inflicting debuff on target
My Emperor is Purple so already have this Sphere.
- Ultimecia’s (from Final Fantasy VIII) Full HP Critical Guard Down E Sphere
Inflicts DEF Down 30% for 6 turns when dealing critical hit while HP at MAX
My Ultimecia’s Purple so already have this Sphere.
- Auron’s (from Final Fantasy X) Debuff Success Melee Attack Up Longer E Sphere
When inflicting debuff on target:
• Raises melee ATK by 15% for 6 turns
*Does not stack with same sphere
Have Auron’s Ex but he’s not Purple. I think he’s not even at Ex+ 0/3 yet. Pretty sure his base Ex isn’t MLB yet either.
At the moment, I’m leaning towards boosting Kadaj’s damage so I think I prefer to give him Spheres like the Emperor’s instead of ones like Ultimecia’s.
What Actually Happened:
Kadaj’s event and banner have finally arrived. I talk more about how my pulls for his weapons went and how I built him in another post so, here, let’s just jump straight to the Spheres I ended up giving him.
- Garland’s (from Final Fantasy I) Break Hit Raging Attack Up A Sphere
Raises ATK by 2% when inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break up to 5 times, once per turn
It helped that I already have Garland’s Sphere so all I needed to do was equip it to Kadaj. As for Tifa, well, I don’t know now. Maybe she will just get Leo’s and Shadow’s A Spheres. If I really need another attack up Sphere for her, then I guess I’ll have no choice but to Purple Onion Knight, but I’ll think about that when the time comes.
- Oerba Yun Fang’s (from Final Fantasy XIII) Break Hit Attack Up Longer A Sphere
Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns when inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break
- The Emperor’s (from Final Fantasy II) Debuff Success Attack Up Longer E Sphere
Raises own ATK by 10% for 6 turns when inflicting debuff on target
At the moment, I’m pretty satisfied with my Sphere choices for Kadaj. Sure, of course, they could be better like giving him Noel’s A Sphere for a 15% ATK up instead of just 10% but that would mean spending resources to Purple another copy of Noel’s Ex which I’m not inclined to do at the moment. So for now, I’ve no plans of changing or wanting to change Kadaj’s Spheres.
Update: Welp, never say never, huh? Lately, I’ve found myself thinking a lot about Kadaj’s Spheres. I kinda want to change them. I’m thinking about giving him 2 A Spheres that increase his BRV damage such as Cloud’s and Vayne’s. For his E Sphere, I’m considering either Auron’s or actually Purpling a dupe Seymour Ex for another copy of his Sphere.
What’s stopping me from doing any of these is the fact that I’m either going to have to use my 3 Sphere removers to get back the Spheres that I already equipped to Kadaj or accept that I’ll lose them all just to replace them with other Spheres. I’ll also have to Purple dupes if I want to give Kadaj BRV damage up A Spheres.
So I don’t know. I want to do it, but it’s gonna cost me a lot. Currently undecided on whether it’s worth it to spend all these resources. Ahh, if only we could freely move Spheres around without losing them, or if only the Sphere removers didn’t cost actual money. Sigh. Guess I need to think about this some more.
Much later: ended up upgrading Kadaj’s armor to Blue. That’s currently the highest that an armor can go. The resources to do this are very rare. Kadaj is my first Blue Armor, and I don’t regret it, but it is making me think more about giving him BRV damage up Spheres even though it seems like he’s already doing very well with the ones he’s currently equipped with. Really gonna have to think about this some more.
Galuf Halm Baldesion from Final Fantasy V
The banner featuring Galuf Halm Baldesion’s (from Final Fantasy V) LD is coming soon. Very soon. He’ll show up before Tifa’s LD banner and a bit after Kadaj’s. The order goes like this:
- Kadaj
-
Bartz Klauser from Final Fantasy V - including LD and Burst. Pulling for him although, at the moment, I’ve no plans to give him Spheres
- Galuf
- Tifa
All the banners will actually overlap, but anyway, the point is, Galuf is also coming very soon and I’m planning to pull for his LD.
Already have his 15cp, 35cp, and Ex fully MLB. His Ex is Purple or at Ex+ 3/3. Galuf’s a tank, and I heard he gets pretty good with his LD. But the main reason why I want to pull for him is because I consider him as kind-of, sort-of like a tribute to my grandparents, like someone that represents them. I mean, I’m not exactly saying Galuf’s like them since I don’t actually know that much about Galuf. It’s more the fact that he’s a grandfather, I guess. It may not make much sense, but it is what it is for me. The point is this is why I’m planning to pull for Galuf with gems and why I want to give him Spheres.
Actual best or perfect Spheres for Galuf:
Galuf’s Sphere Slots are A, B, and D. He’s a cover tank. He takes the place of his allies whenever they’re targeted by single-target attacks. IIRC, he has 100% evasion from physical attacks unless they’re guaranteed to hit. He has the chance to evade magical attacks. Every time he successfully evades an attack, he counters. With the buff from his LD active, he’ll counter even if an attack doesn’t miss him.
To maximize the damage from his counters, ATK up Spheres are best for him. He has a BRV gain mechanic, especially when coupled with his High Armor, so to maximize that, a BRV gain Sphere is also an option for him. The same could be said for MAX BRV up Spheres since he can battery based on the aforementioned stat. ATK up Spheres are preferable though since he can also battery based on HP damage dealt and he should be countering often.
So I could give him an ATK up A Sphere like Noel’s, his own B Sphere (also raises the ATK stat), and a D Sphere like Hope’s or Queen’s.
Plans:
The problem is that most chars seem to want an ATK up or BRV damage up Sphere. I’m close to running out of these types of Spheres. There are some Ex weapons that I’m missing but I didn’t feel like waiting until I managed to acquire them. I wanted to give Galuf Spheres right after getting his LD. So I was thinking of giving him a MAX BRV up Sphere. I’ve got plenty of those since it seems like no char wants them, or I’ve yet to want to Sphere a char who wants to increase their max brave stat.
I thought increasing Galuf’s MAX BRV stat shouldn’t be such a bad idea since he does have BRV gains and he can battery the party based on max brave. So for his A Sphere, I considered Spheres like:
- Squall Leonhart’s (from Final Fantasy VIII) Break Hit Raging Boost Up A Sphere
Raises MAX BRV by 2% when inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break up to 5 times, once per turn
My Squall is Purple so I already have this Sphere.
- Terra Branford’s (from Final Fantasy VI) Critical Base Boost Up Shorter A Sphere
When dealing critical hit:
• Raises own INT BRV, MAX BRV by 10% for 3 turns
What makes this better than Squall’s is the fact that it increases 2 stats instead of just 1. Not sure how good INT BRV is for Galuf though. There could be another char who could use both these stats so I might be better off just giving Squall’s Sphere to Galuf.
There are only a few B Spheres and even fewer that Galuf can make use of. Some B Spheres require him to be targeted but he has no way of locking or taunting his opponents. Some require him to take HP damage but that will rarely happen. So after going through the short list, I was left with the following:
- Galuf Halm Baldesion’s (from Final Fantasy V) Evasion Attack Up Longer B Sphere
When dodging attack:
• Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns
This is perfect for Galuf but since I was considering giving him a MAX BRV up Sphere, I thought I might be better off with
- Gabranth’s (Noah fon Ronsenburg from Final Fantasy XII) Critical Resist All Shorter B Sphere
After dealing critical hit:
• Reduces party's BRV damage taken by 10% for 3 turns
My Gabranth is Purple so I already have this Sphere.
There are other protective B Spheres like one that reduces HP damage taken and another that reduces BRV damage taken. Unfortunately, neither are for the party so I didn’t want to give them to Galuf. Just as well, really, since I don’t have the Ex that gives the former (Kimahri Ronso from Final Fantasy X) and I’ve yet to Purple the Ex that gives the latter (the Warrior of Light from Final Fantasy I).
If I was going to give Galuf an A Sphere that increases his MAX BRV, then I thought it best to give him a D Sphere that does the same, especially since I’ve also basically run out of ATK up D Spheres. So I considered Spheres such as the following:
- Ramza Beoulve’s (from Final Fantasy Tactics) Buff Base Boost All 3 D Sphere
With 3 or more buffs:
• Raises party's INT BRV, MAX BRV by 5%
My Ramza is Purple so have this Sphere already. This one is basically like Terra’s except the stat ups are only 5% and they’re for the party.
- Ignis Scientia’s (from Final Fantasy XV) Buff Success Boost All Longer D Sphere
After granting buff:
• Raises party's MAX BRV by 5% for 6 turns
Also already have this Sphere.
What Actually Happened:
Galuf’s event and banner have finally arrived. I talk more about how my pulls for his LD went and how I built him in another post so, here, let’s just jump straight to the Spheres I ended up giving him. Well, let me at least say that I also ended up upgrading his armor to Blue. He’s the second char whose armor I upgraded to Blue.
- Eight’s (from Final Fantasy Type-0) Evasion Attack Up Shorter A Sphere
Raises own ATK by 20% for 3 turns when evading enemy attack
*Does not stack with same sphere
Welp, I’d completely and totally forgotten that I actually have Eight’s Sphere. But I guess it wasn’t so surprising that I always ended up glossing over this whenever I looked at a list of Spheres online. That’s because the condition requirement for this Sphere is basically impossible for most chars to fulfill. AFAIK, so far, only Eight and Galuf can consistently and constantly proc this Sphere.
- Galuf Halm Baldesion’s (from Final Fantasy V) Evasion Attack Up Longer B Sphere
When dodging attack:
• Raises ATK by 10% for 6 turns
- Wakka’s (from Final Fantasy X) Buff Attack Boost All 5 D Sphere
With 5 or more buffs:
• Raises party's MAX BRV, ATK by 5%
*Does not stack with same sphere
Even after knowing this though, I still hesitated for a bit as I thought about who else could make use of Wakka’s Sphere. In the end, I decided to go for it. If another char wants an ATK up D Sphere, well, I guess I’ll worry about that then. Besides, Galuf’s supposed to be a tribute to my grandparents so I want him to have the best of everything I could possibly give to him.
Very pleased with my Sphere choices for Galuf. I think they’re the best they could be, all things considered. So, at the moment, I have no plans of changing any of them anytime soon.
Yuna from Final Fantasy X
Yuna (from Final Fantasy X) was really nice to me. Managed to get her LD and Burst weapon with tickets so I decided to fully build her. Previously, I only had her 15cp and 35cp so never really got to use her when she got her Ex and Ex+.
Only got her Ex from the protagonist Ex token shop we had, and the only reason I got hers was because she was the only one there that I didn’t already have and I wanted to sell her fully MLB’d 35cp weapon already. But I still didn’t use her even after getting her Ex since she was already outdated and powercrept by then.
Now that I have her Burst and LD, I Purpled her Ex and completed all of her Boards and bought her Bloom Stone and High Armor. The only thing I didn’t bother to get for her was her World of Illusions weapon because it’s useless. Also spent some time farming triple of her perfect Artifacts:
- Buff Attack Boost All★★
Raises party’s MAX BRV, ATK by 10% with active buff
- Charged Esuna Boost★★
Esuna use +1; raises MAX BRV by 40%
Actual best or perfect Spheres for Yuna:
Yuna’s Sphere slots are C, C, and D. She’s a support slash healer slash buffer with pretty good auras and battery. She can deal decent enough damage as well.
Yuna’s High Armor is the one with the Encouragement’s Keystone affinity ability. One of its effects is that it increases the brave she grants to the party by 30%. Because of this, the perfect C Spheres for her are 2 of Paladin Cecil Harvey’s (from Final Fantasy IV) Full HP Break Hit BRV Gain All:
When inflicting Break or attacking target afflicted with Break while own HP at MAX:
• Grants party 5% of individual MAX BRV once per turn
As for Yuna’s D Sphere, anything that increases the party’s ATK is best. It’s even better if the Sphere can also increase the party’s MAX BRV. So the likes of Queen’s or Wakka’s D Spheres are perfect for Yuna.
Plans:
My Paladin Cecil is fully built, including his LD and BT, so I actually have one copy of his Sphere. Ever since I got it, it’s just been sitting in my inventory, unused since I didn’t really have anyone I wanted to give it to.
Well now, I do want to give Yuna Spheres and this one’s perfect for her so, why not, right? The problem is what about her second C slot though? What other C Sphere should I give to her, or should I actually go ahead and Purple a dupe Cecil Ex just to get another Full HP Break Hit BRV Gain ALL C Sphere? Would it be worth it to do that? Maybe I could just give her another C Sphere or even just settle for giving her an RF Cecil Sphere. Well, definitely gonna need to think about this some more.
Already gave Wakka’s Sphere to Galuf so that’s out unless I Purple another Wakka Ex. Queen’s event and banner happened already though and I was thankfully able to get multiple copies of her Ex. Purpled one of them already so I have one copy of Queen’s Sphere.
What Actually Happened:
Welp, I actually did it. Yeah, that’s right, I Purpled a dupe Paladin Cecil Ex to get a second copy of his C Sphere. Then I proceeded to give both to Yuna. I finished it by equipping her with Queen’s Sphere.
No future plans since Yuna already has the perfect Spheres for her. Currently no plans of ever changing or switching them or something.
Conclusion
