Talk:Best in Slot

Deletion?
Considering deleting these pages. We have better tools now for BiS gear, and this is hardly being maintained. Kataikou (talk) 20:45, 14 March 2018 (UTC)

Aigaion Arm, A physical upheaval?
Hey! withe the new, there is a lot of changements. All the physical units will change their BiS build ... For exemple :

It's the same build, but the best ... The same for Randy, Fohlen (Kaiser Knuckles+Crimson Blood), Tydus (Aigaion Arm+Brotherhood), vargas (Aigaion Arm+Dandelga), and others!
 * Now that the unit calculator is updated to include that sort of information, I'm sure there's going to be a lot of changing happening. :D --FencerTJ (talk) 16:06, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

Broken
Is page 3 working for anyone? I think Olive having a single build might be breaking things. --Tippps (talk) 02:36, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Caused by Rem and Randi, actually. Because they both have 3 builds, the page goes over the "Template Limit" (how many templates you can use in a single page). I reduced the units per page from 10 to 9. This should give us a bit of headroom Kataikou (talk) 03:33, 5 September 2017 (UTC)

Possible BiS Tanks?
Would it be possible to create Best in Slot Tanks, where the main focus in their gear is HP? I understand the topic of this page is maximizing damage output, whether it be ATK or MAG. But I thought it would be cool to see tanks added, if possible. --PlanteraBlade (talk) 17:57, 26 September 2017 (UTC)


 * This has been discussed before in the Discord. To focus just on HP, wouldn't make for a BiS Tank, but just a tank with a lot of hp and shite def/spr/status/elemental resists. Calculating BiS for support units has too many factors to consider whereas dps is very straightforward. When your tank starts becoming situational, it no longer is BiS. --FencerTJ (talk) 18:07, 26 September 2017 (UTC)


 * And honestly, the BiS for any tank is 4x Rasler TMRs and 2 Arsha's Talisman, plus whatever basic gear you have. BiS tank isn't interesting because very few passive abilities interact with the DEF/SPR/HP stats. Kataikou (talk) 00:52, 27 September 2017 (UTC)

Onion Knight BiS
For what it's worth, Aigaion Arm isn't BiS for Onion Knight. Yes, it's how you get the highest ATK, but it means that you can't elemental chain with Onion Cutter, and forces you to use the much weaker Splendor attacks.

In fact, a full BiS Aigaion arm build chaining with a Splendor actually does less damage than using Onion Cutter with an Excalibur build equipped with no other 5* TMs and nothing but 30% ATK materia (no Large Sword Mastery/Dark Knight's Soul). Once you start to give the Greatsword even better gear (weapon masteries, DV's TM, Dandelga, et cetera), the gap widens even more.
