the cloud banner (and to a lesser extent aerith banner) feels to me both primarily tailored for newer players that just started during anni. to catch them up for imperil weapons, and now cloud is essentially triple mini arcanum in 1 weapon with materia. they’re still really good for veterans of course but the design prly mainly had newer players in mind 🔥 thinking about it from a new players perspective, this cloud weapon (and terra's wand) is absolutely bonkers cuz it lets them just mainhand this and start clearing most of the content , instead of painfully waiting months and months to collect arcanums and imperils one by one. to me, it's apparent applibot had put a lot of thought into these banners to serve the interests of newer players and returning players. at the same time giving those weapons incredible R-abilities so they are extremely useful for veterans/whales as well. i applaud applibot for this. they obviously observe telemetry closely, and putting out banners that help retain new and returning players. 🔥🔥
To be honest, I see a lot of Amaranth Claws in this. It is tempting, because it buffs 3 diffrent elements, but 99% of the time you only need 1. Having a Damage Dealer buffing himself is a massive drop in DPS. Going only to mid puts this outright behind Slay the Day. The only redeeming factor, at least I can see, is the very long uptime. But even then, you will have a hard time to make it worth it to use 4 ATB to buff instead to put that into outright damage. If we were to give him a bit of buff extension, this weapon could increase it's potential quite a bit. However, as soon as someone else can buff him with one of those elements, the weapon becomes almost useless. (Aerith now can imperial all of those elements and can, with citric wand, buff him with Ice potency) The Rabilities are interesting, but I can build Cloud up with this weapon in mind, without him dropping either Phystal Potency or Elemental Potency. Maybe in the future it will be easier, but then again, the Rabilities aren't THAT much better. (Barret for example has a very similar weapon) I for one am gonna skip Sephiroths and Clouds banners most likely. Aeriths at least gives versatility, but when I think about how often I use any Crossover weapon (except for Kamura Wand) these days. Yeah, I think I'll finally hit the 100k+ crystal mark for the first time and look forward to the 1 1/2 year anniversary!
My issue is that unfortunately I have Aerith in all my setups. So getting her uw would be great for me. However these banners have not been enticing at all. Praying tifa gives me something worth chasing😂
I pulled OB6 on Sephiroth and to the costume on Aerith (5* only got). Kinda glad this banner is mid, only 17k crystals left, either will pull rest for more Aerith or on Tifa next week
my 2 cents is that a good elemental enabler swiss knife at ob0 as a beginner but unless you invest to at least ob6, the elemental damage up doesnt cover the stats loss from anything less than ob6
I think that Cloud's weapon is mainly created to use the three materia slots for Kafka, exactly like Aerith's debuff weapon, I don't think there will ever be a similar situation where you need all three elements or debuffs (maybe Kafka in some brutal tower but I don't know) I'd like to bring the weapon to ob6 but I'll wait for Tifa and then I'll decide
8 multis to pull Locke set. It was mid my pulls, the weapon is a must if you have murasame and skysplitter set maxed. Now its the time to add a 3rd weapon slot (4th if you include ultimate weapon). Next week when Tifa is added im going to be broke after her weapon. Im not losing any 5* limited weapon
I have a feeling the next gen elemental weapon will either buff matk/patk or debuff mdef/pdef before buffing elemental dmg. I went it doing 2 pages, got super good pulls and got Locke sword to OB9. I will wait for the collab rerun and get it ob10 then. I hope we get more stuff beside kefka that will make that weapon shine.
Yeah exactly same first thought I had was - cast once - then finish high tier with summon…. Did you just call me a whale 😂 I feel called out a little bit
@ it’s audio jargon. There’s highs, lows, and mids for audio range. Lows are akin to bass sounds and highs are akin to high pitched sounds like whistling noises.
It's a shame that the costume doesn't really match the weapon. If the costume had triple elemental mastery it would be a much better banner. The weapon is good. It offers Cloud some versatility in fights that require two elements. It might have some use in dungeon rankings that have multiple elemental weaknesses as well. The fact that it buffs means it will remain useful even when we get stronger elemental weapons. If these weapons were featured it would be great as we could get extra copies over time. As limited banners it really makes them seem for big spenders only. I like the costume so I might get it just to use as skin but I will decide after Tifa's banner. I have enjoyed the story of this crossover but the banners are a bit disappointing.
I pulled chasing a single copy. Took 3 pulls and got ob1. I think if you really wanna use the weapon as a sub you need ob6 not so much for the high buff but the stats. I think even for me ob1 is not enough but like you I am not sure if I wanna go ob6.
I pull to get a copy just in case they do a big update on the material keep in mine what make this sword good or bad is the material you got on it this why this event let us make fire/ice/light material with elemental proficiency boost
I agree with your thoughts on this banner. Aerith has Citric Wand and it’s only a matter of time that we’ll get fire and lightning ele dmg buff weapons. PASS
these items belong in half year anniversary territory. not a post 1 year collab. sad. i still pulled for all costumes but i hope they do something serious for tifa.
This weapon is a joke yuffies stripped moogle already does fire damage with a fire buff and it's not limited, tifas feather gloves do water debuff high at ob6 and mdef down again not limited. Terras rod is amazing, sephiroths is mid for a limited weapon but this with the costume has to be worst limited banner they've ever released

That actually makes a lot of sense!

Congrats man!! 100K!! And well said, i totally agree with ya
My issue is that unfortunately I have Aerith in all my setups. So getting her uw would be great for me. However these banners have not been enticing at all. Praying tifa gives me something worth chasing😂
This is me as well… like they don’t feel worthy of being limited in some senses
Seriously!!! I wanted a reason to go for the UW!
Yeah for real =(
I pulled OB6 on Sephiroth and to the costume on Aerith (5* only got). Kinda glad this banner is mid, only 17k crystals left, either will pull rest for more Aerith or on Tifa next week
I'm in the same boat here tho slightly more crystals, an easy skip for me.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I will wait until Tifas banner dropps to decide
Good call
my 2 cents is that a good elemental enabler swiss knife at ob0 as a beginner but unless you invest to at least ob6, the elemental damage up doesnt cover the stats loss from anything less than ob6
Yep well said
I was really excited too…I like the costume but I don’t know if I want to pull this banner just for glam….
At least you have really good stamp luck!
Thank you!

Hard to say really, but i dont think this weapon will have a long lifespan
Aerith's weapon is AMAZING, for B100 Jenova is game changer, use this before the two summons when the tentacles respawn is an incredible advantage
8 multis to pull Locke set. It was mid my pulls, the weapon is a must if you have murasame and skysplitter set maxed. Now its the time to add a 3rd weapon slot (4th if you include ultimate weapon). Next week when Tifa is added im going to be broke after her weapon. Im not losing any 5* limited weapon
Haha right on bro well congrats on the new weapon!!
I want a ffviii cross over lol cloud and squal have alot of similarities and come in a gun blade would be sick
Vincent got a Gunblade from the Eligor event. It's actually pretty good.
That would be so cool!!
Mid/high *and* not being able to cap Boost ATK in the main hand like Feather Gloves does makes this feel like a massive miss.
Yeah =\
Aeriths banner is The best so far..🎉
Yep def
I have a feeling the next gen elemental weapon will either buff matk/patk or debuff mdef/pdef before buffing elemental dmg.
I went it doing 2 pages, got super good pulls and got Locke sword to OB9. I will wait for the collab rerun and get it ob10 then. I hope we get more stuff beside kefka that will make that weapon shine.
Idk we already have chars that buff PATK/MATK AoE so i feel like it would be redundant to have that on the elemental weapons tbh
Yeah exactly same first thought I had was - cast once - then finish high tier with summon…. Did you just call me a whale 😂 I feel called out a little bit
Hahaha and yeah i was thinking the same last night with the summons being used to cap this
Drop the highs and mids and boost the lows, please. Your previous couple vids had better audio for voice.
Wdym drop the highs and miss and boost the lows?
@ it’s audio jargon. There’s highs, lows, and mids for audio range. Lows are akin to bass sounds and highs are akin to high pitched sounds like whistling noises.
Oh ok thank you mate. Do you know if i can do this on OBS?
this weapons is for triple elements bosses keep switching like that kefka; or Hellhouse kinds of bosses
If that's true then it will have even less viability as those kind of fights are extremely rare
It's a shame that the costume doesn't really match the weapon. If the costume had triple elemental mastery it would be a much better banner. The weapon is good. It offers Cloud some versatility in fights that require two elements. It might have some use in dungeon rankings that have multiple elemental weaknesses as well. The fact that it buffs means it will remain useful even when we get stronger elemental weapons. If these weapons were featured it would be great as we could get extra copies over time. As limited banners it really makes them seem for big spenders only. I like the costume so I might get it just to use as skin but I will decide after Tifa's banner. I have enjoyed the story of this crossover but the banners are a bit disappointing.
Yes a triple mastery would have been really good especially for newer players!
I pulled chasing a single copy. Took 3 pulls and got ob1. I think if you really wanna use the weapon as a sub you need ob6 not so much for the high buff but the stats. I think even for me ob1 is not enough but like you I am not sure if I wanna go ob6.
I think OB2 is the early sweet spot as it raises the 2nd R ability, you will see in my video tomorrow
@ saw it now. Yes looks like a good spot. I am still debating will wait for tifa and the decide.
I think if we pair it with double summons that go Mid to High with proper setup it can work perfectly.
Yes I was thinking the same last night!
I pull to get a copy just in case they do a big update on the material keep in mine what make this sword good or bad is the material you got on it this why this event let us make fire/ice/light material with elemental proficiency boost
Nice well i hope you had good luck!
I only go for pure dps weapons on my dps characters. Leave the buffing to my healers.
🙏🏽
Dunno. Not impressed with any of them so far. If Tifa's not broken, I'm waiting for new years banners. More bummed to miss on Aerith's U.W.
Yes seriously
I agree with your thoughts on this banner. Aerith has Citric Wand and it’s only a matter of time that we’ll get fire and lightning ele dmg buff weapons. PASS
🙏🏽🍻💯
@ I had to have the Tera Rod for Aerith so I pulled for it up to the guaranteed copy. Was hoping for the awesome Princess Guard but no luck
@Baye1980 Grats on Terra Rod tho that’s a great weapon
I can be with you 100% it’s a skip banner easy. I will like to wait until 1.5 anniversary. Save those crystals
Cheers brudda!
Man Tifa last again 😔
Always 😭
Still sephiroth one is a big dissappoinment 😂
lol yeah I feel ya
these items belong in half year anniversary territory. not a post 1 year collab. sad. i still pulled for all costumes but i hope they do something serious for tifa.
Totally agreed
This weapon is a joke yuffies stripped moogle already does fire damage with a fire buff and it's not limited, tifas feather gloves do water debuff high at ob6 and mdef down again not limited. Terras rod is amazing, sephiroths is mid for a limited weapon but this with the costume has to be worst limited banner they've ever released
Lol yeah i can't help but agree with ya mate
❤❤❤❤
Cheers my friend!
