I said this last night on stream but as someone who currently only has Ice arcanum on cloud since I started at half anniversary, this outfit is something I’d use. I have been using clouds’s MH costume and MH weapon at OB6 for his fire and lightning builds and he has gotten the job done. The physical ability mastery is nothing to overlook IMO. I don’t think it’s a bad costume but I agree it’s certainly outclassed by the arcanums. If you don’t have the arcanums, this is a very good costume. The weapon is a slam dunk no question.
It feels weird that 3/4 limited banners are same characters as anniversary. As a player who started in July, I find it very hard to get caught up in this, too many limited banners, too many limited events to suck up your stamina.
Facts I wanna get blitz ace for cloud with the Brotherhood sword :) And maybe a magus sister summon attack for Aerith. Vincent or Angeal for Auron 😊 Tifa as Lulu And Nova attack for Red XIII since that’s kimarhis final limit
The thing is most Cloud's arcanum are outdated and will be even more in the next months so investing into elemental Cloud is really a bad choice unless they do upgrade his kit with 950+ elemental damage in the future, but Tifa, yuffie or even seph is better in elemental damage.
@RedMonkeyification They would need to change the Patk to something like phy boost or up the Patk so that OB10 lv120 skysplitter + costume gives you max Patk boost. Otherwise since we already reach it with two weapond it wouldn't change anything
The costume is a skip for me, though I did pull twice and got lucky with x3 both times and got to Cloud's weapon. That's pretty much it though. The elemental buff might be good before summon, but I agree as pure DPS Cloud I don't want him to waste atb buffing himself. I'll wait for Tifa and then go all in.
I have OB6 Aeriths weapon, Clouds Ice, Lightning and Fire Arcanum+Weapons, does the +2 element boost outweigh the drop in PATK from taking a weapon slot, is it worth picking up 1 copy?
So far for this event I've pulled for Aerieths weapon only, got seph weapon and costume and I've only pulled for cloud's weapon I'm still sitting on 17k blue crystals quite happy 😄🤗👍
Im really not into the outfit. And honestly, i feel the same about the weapon. Its nice atm but will get more and more niche over time. Its reaaaaaally nice that itll buff for 55s with an 11s extension, that parts really nice. But otherwise its a jack of all trades master of none. Eventually im sure hell have high potency elemental casts jn one go + mdef or pdef down at the same time. Its nice for now, but i really see it getting replaced eventually. Like glenns or tifas water potency up weps that do pdef and mdef down at the same time for 3atb. And its not like we can have all three elemental weapons at the same time for fights that require three elements. So two would have to be covered by materia.
I only passed on Bahamut sword because I didn’t have enough crystals. It doesn’t sit well with me passing on back to back Cloud banners, considering he was my favorite character when I started playing this game but idk…
I was waiting to see what was gonna be on Cloud's crossover before I went deep into pulls. As soon as it came out, I started pulling for Aerith. I got the Bahamut Costume and Cloud's Bahamut sword at OB7. The Locke costume and weapon look cool, but it was a waste for ME if I were to pull for it.
Just have to say while the FF6 event is amazing and probably the best collab we've had so far I have to say the banners leave a bit more to be desired, lol. As a Cloud fan, I'm picking this up but I do agree if you got his anniversary Bahamut setup this is fairly skippable. Also the weapon *really* wants you to have his Ice setup (half anniversary weapon + costume) imo, or the value is much less from pulling on this banner. That said, I do think this weapon has "staying power" in that it will pretty much always be a good weapon, since it's geared toward buffing. This means 6 months to a year down the line this weapon will still be a good weapon because he could get new higher DPS weapons and then suddenly this weapon becomes a hot commodity. But on the flip side, if this ends up being the case you can always pick it up during the rerun then. For me as it stands, I think the best banners in order is: Aerith > Cloud > Sephiroth... But at the end of the day it really does depend on your account as you mentioned, Octo. I'm mainly looking at things in "vacuum".
Right! I love the Kefka fight but I wanted a little more for the banners especially because they are limited. The sword will hold value as long as the healers or support don't get a aoe/ high buffing version. I agree on the ranking so far when I come to a crossover banner.
I have bahamut greatsword OB10, and I don't see myself using this instead. I also don't like the double cast, plus it's 4 atb. It's a lot of wasted atb on a dps. I already invested on Cloud for anni, so I will skip this personally.
Still irks me they keep giving Cloud the characters that dont even match his personality or fighting style or weapon etc. Watch them give him Tidus costume when FFX collab comes
@@nekotorinThat wont happen because cloud along with the girls and maybe Sephiroth are the characters that sell most, more than a year and barret only got 2 outfits, glenn also 2. Applibot want money, thats the reason why tifa has already 10 geats, and yuffie 7 in less than a year
Kazushige Nojima has already said that he created Tidus based on Zack, so the two match perfectly. But I’m 99% sure that Applibot would give Tidus’s outfit to Cloud. Besides being physically similar, Cloud is one of the best-selling characters.
Hi everyone, new player here. Was wondering if the free "special ticket" we got recently (which can be used on the current crossover banners) can be saved and used on future banners, or do we have it spend them for this crossover? Thanks! 😅
I went ahead and pulled one copy, but I don't know. Seems kinda useless unless I go all in on OB6 or higher. The loss of PATK damage just isn't worth it
Would have been more interesting if it was 3 atb with 3 elemental amp in one cast instead of the 1.01k non elemental damage, which is irrelevant anyway. They're making it really hard for me to pull for these banners since i love ff6 but the costumes and weapons are mediocre at best atm. Hopefully tifa can turn this around.
@@OldManSakaki you think? She just got that mag lightning one. I actually have a weird feeling they’re all going to be kefka fight based, so she’s gonna do something silly like attack with non-elemental and then buff a character for the tri-elemental damage somehow.
@@OldManSakaki That would actually be super dope and helpful for a lot of tuff battles like the EX summon battles for instance. I would be hype if that is what they give Tifa
not even a question ...NO! ..lmao...but seriously ...those 3 collab banner seems good for new players ...u can catchup with imperils ! for veteran it's mehh.....
Cloud isn't on my main team anymore due to Vincent being in game (Nanaki and Aerith are my other two main). I'm tempted to pull for the weapon as I have his 3 ob6+ fire,ice,Ning weapons and gear. So it would be great in fights I need physical those three elements but no longer being my main means he fits niche roles for me which this fills. Though call for me. Especially not knowing what comes for outfits after the collab event.
yeah costume is really poor, and doesn't even look like locke anyway.. That being said, I have murasame, skysplitter and stream saber with all the elemental costumes so his weapon is a great addition to complement 3 of his very useful kits at once. I'll wait to see what's tifa's weapon just in case, but I think I'll be spending all my crystal on this to OB6 it (unless I guess the same luck as aerith where I got ZERO pull for her weapon despite getting her costume..)
That costume is literally like a one for one of lockes minus the bandana covering his entire head. It looks 90% identical. And its not bad at all, we just have better. While the weapon is nice to only level one instead of three for his three elements, i dont see it having longterm use and will just become super niche over time.
@@TheNixBestThing I don't see how niche it is? I mean it literally boost 3 of your elements that cloud excel at. I can see it at your second weapon in almost all usecases for cloud (aside from pure physical non elem setup). As for the costume, bandana is the issue, it's sort of the whole identity of Locke, and on cloud with his hairs it looks more like Waka or something from FFX. They completely nailed Terra costume, but Locke, not so much imo. I think it would have looked better on angeal or even sephiroth actually
@@seraphin01 We already have a targetable ice amp with aeriths citric. In the next couple months they will be surely release similar targetable elemental amp weapons where cloud does not need to waste his atb to give him +2 amp and instead uses it to deal damage.
@@seraphin01 it targets 3 elements half-assedly. requires 2 casts, and is 4atb (admittedly the 55s at ob10 is nice). It has nice damage, but you're not using this wep for dmg, you're using it to support your MAIN dmg weapon. Glenn/Tifa/Sephiroth all have an elemental wep up HIGH on a single cast + a 2ndary effect (pdef/mdef/patk respectively) and all of them cost THREE atb. Eventually cloud will get buffed up specialized versions per element likely with a 2ndary buff/debuff attachment. And we know we can get to "very high" which would eventually happen as well. As Yasuk mentioned as well, other characters are slowly getting targetable buff versions so cloud could save his 2nd slot for better. Also the bandana isnt all of locke, to say the costume doesnt look like locke is a huge overstatement. it has some differences and if they covered clouds head, at that point it would just be a Locke 'skin' not an outfit. And cloud looks nothing like wakka. Wakka purely has a single huge cowlick and red hair, cloud is blonde with 100 spikes. Terra & Aerith have almost 1:1 hairstyles. literally just curls/wavy vs straight. Thats why they look real close. I DO agree that it would look better on sephiroth than cloud. I think they even have the same haircolor, no? And then cloud could have had sephiroths outfit. I dont think it would have worked any better or at all with Angeal. honestly could probably have swapped sephiroths and clouds weapons to boot lol. Good point on that one!

Concur. What is Cloud using if not the Arcanum? He's TRYING to get good elemental damage. This helps that.
Cloud has only had limited costumes since his fire costume.. that's wild.
as someone who has clouds thunder, fire and ice weapon at OB10 - this is a must for me
Repping the Kingdom Hearts shirt. The only crossover I need today.
That would be amazing! Would love to see what designs they would come up with.
It feels weird that 3/4 limited banners are same characters as anniversary. As a player who started in July, I find it very hard to get caught up in this, too many limited banners, too many limited events to suck up your stamina.
They need to make a ff-X crossover
Facts I wanna get blitz ace for cloud with the Brotherhood sword :)
And maybe a magus sister summon attack for Aerith.
Vincent or Angeal for Auron 😊
Tifa as Lulu
And Nova attack for Red XIII since that’s kimarhis final limit
That would awesome
@@jessicamorris6391 facts :) I love FFX and they even have lore that connects 7 and 10 so that would be amazing to see.

I'm sure Clouds fire arcanum + weapon will get a little upgrade for new year, just like they already did for some other costumes

I was expecting a bit more from these banners so far. It's been hard not going for the costumes just because of the look since 6 is my favorite FF
i am not sure yet so i will wait till tifa is out and see what to do
6:56 I’m not sure why a summon wouldn’t benefit from Physical Ability Mastery? All summons except Megaflare are “Phys/Mag” damage.
Of course, I don't need the costume or sword ... but it's Cloud ... I like the outfit on him. So I pulled XD Back to saving for ... I don't know.
Always go for the Husbando 😉
Vod on one tv, YT vid on other tv... double the Octo-power 😎
Too much power!
I have the arcanum costumes, but not the bahamu's one. Is this costume really that bad?
So far for this event I've pulled for Aerieths weapon only, got seph weapon and costume and I've only pulled for cloud's weapon I'm still sitting on 17k blue crystals quite happy 😄🤗👍
I'm a new player so I pulled and got ob6, then got aerith's ultimate weapon, I'm planning to get her rod to ob6 too
I will wait until we know Tifas Banner before investing my crystals 😊

You have to spend them but it's ok because it's basically just 3k blue crystals.

Got very lucky and got it to ob9 after the first 2 pages. Gonna get ob10 on the rerun probly!
Hopefully we get more blue crystals with all these limited banners spree
Can't help but notice you didn't us an awesome sheet you have to show potential elemental builds..
I did on stream and it was very useful.
Hard pass, the R abilities killed it for me. Pulled on spehiroth as I needed a water arcanum. Saving my crystals for Kame-hame-hame-ha Tiff 😅
