[Rising above the Darkness] JP Megathread (IV)

Fun fact...the last IV event was the first Megathread I did and that was seven months ago. Man...time flies...but not quite like a Dragoon which flies REALLY high...then crashes hard through the Damage Cap.

Full open event. Thanks to /u/Leyroux and /u/Stylus_Index for translation work.

B1: Well this banner wouldn't be too bad...if it wasn't buring a fest where there's already 2 Lightning banners with equal (or better) stuff on them and more Awakenings on them to boot. Kain's Synchro has lots of overflow (which sort of kills the point of Break Damage Cap?), Palom's Awakening gives self Lightning Damage, Tellah's boost his SB gauge so you can use...what?, and we get a recurance of Kain's Awakening which is still not great. To make matters worse where's Porom's Awakening? One twin can't get a relic without the other one doing it (though I might forgive an AOSB) but that's really the final nail in B1's coffin. With fest I don't know why you'd pull here except for the Husbando Kain or IV NT (though this banner would only be DPS for that).

B2: I hate to say it's worse than B1...but it's worse than B1. We get two really old Awakenings, one being Edge's that still doesn't work well with Ninja magic (and no 6* Ninja Magic abilities), and the other is DCecil's that's...ok but Edge's stuff is the newest stuff on here from Fat Black Chocobo: Water (which was 2 months ago so not too bad) with all the other stuff being from seven months ago or more and a bit outdated. This banner might be a little better for NT relics since it has heals (not Rosa though) and Edge (who you might want something more than just USB0 for) and I guess it does have a MAG Dark chain if you still need one...but overall this banner wouldn't be great even if it wasn't during fest and it is. If you're looking for Dark stuff fest Banner 5 is better or wait for the likely Fat Black Chocobo: Dark or other banners as we get closer to 6* Dark Magicite in a few months.
