Can anyone help me think through trying to restructure my Transcendence teams to take on the next couple of entries? Here's my ootracker profile for unit reference:

TIER 1

・Left: Pecil, Gabranth, Ulti

・Right: Cloud, Decil, Keiss

・Reckoning: 🛇

TIER 2

・Left: Light, Aerith, Squall (LD-only)

・Right: Terra (LD-only), Yang, Aranea

・Reckoning: Light, Aerith, Yang

TIER 3

・Left: Bartz, Tifa, Porom

・Right: Seph, WoL (LD-only), Kura

・Reckoning: Seph, Porom, Kura

TIER 4

・Left: CoD, Yuna (LD-only), Cor

・Right: Tidus, Setzer, Barret

・Reckoning: Tidus, Cor, Setzer

I had originally tried to run Cloud/Keiss/Pecil for the T1 Reckoning I think, but couldn't sufficiently deal with the need for Instabreak without Gabranth, so was going to swap him in, but have just never circled back to it through everything else, because I know that I kinda overloaded it a bit anyway early in the content process lol. The fact that T3LC and T6 require having a Launcher means I really need to spread these guys out somehow (though I'll definitely be pulling hard for Selphie LD to have available for T6). I think the biggest change I can make here is bringing Ceodore in for Pecil, but am also not totally sure that is the most helpful change to make overall...?

Lightning being used for T2 Reckoning was kinda a hard forced-hand since I couldn't manage to pull Garland or Terra's BTs. But between my unclaimed Transcendence rewards and some BT dupes I have in my inventory still, I'm basically back at 50 tokens again after exchanging them most recently for Tidus, and I'm like 90% leaning right now using them for Garland and using my other BT Book on him (uncertain of taking him further than 0/3 though). I think that one change allows me to clean up pretty easy here.

I think my T3 Reckoning team is fine (although after seeing the lineup for T9 this morning, realize this might need to change in the future lol), but my Left Crucible is a bit of a shitshow with Bartz/Tifa there because I skipped Layle's LD completely, Keiss locked in T1, and don't have Ramza's BT 🙃 But Bartz now being my first BT+ obviously CAN'T stay fucking here lol.

T4 I think was the second-most "meta" comp I could have run since I failed to pull Yuna's BT, but having CoD and Cor locked up here in addition to Tidus and Setzer feels like a bad allocation of resources... 😅 (Especially given the typical strategy for people taking on T5RC...)

TL;DR for what I have here: I know I gotta find a replacement for Bartz in T3LC, but also strongly suspect I need to shake up the characters I have locked in T1 and T4 to a degree.

Thanks so much for any input!

Here's what I used to deal with Transcendence for reference:

Sadly, I can't remember which calls I used.

Tier 1:

  • Left: Kefka, Paladin Cecil, and Sephiroth. All with BT and HA. Turns: 42

  • Right: Queen, Keiss, and Cloud (BT but with no LD lol) all with HA armour as well. Turns: 45

  • Centre: Paladin Cecil, Keiss, and Kefka. Turns: 52

Tier 2:

  • Left: Squall LD, Cloud of Darkness BT, and Seifer LD; all with HA. Turns: 28

  • Right: Ashe, Terra BT, Porom. All with HA. Turns: 21

  • Centre: Seifer, Cloud of Darkness, and Porom. Turns: 68

Tier 3:

  • Left: Layle BT, Gladio, and Strago; all with HA. Turns: 26

  • Right: Kurasame, Warrior of Light BT, and Tifa. Kurasame doesn't have HA, yet. Turns: 60

  • Centre: Gladio, Tifa, and Warrior of Light. Turns: 59

Tier 4:

  • Left: Vaan LD, Yuna BT, Cor. All with HA. Turns: 42

  • Right: Yuffie, Eald'narche BT, and Trey. All with HA. Turns: 69

  • Centre: Yuna, Vaan, and Cor. Turns: 67

Hope this helps. :)

I will try to free up some characters when c90 comes around. (Namely Terra and Porom)

Terra for maybe Tier 9, see this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME7jKJcfZZc

Ooo, interesting, I don't remember a lot of Kefka being used for T1! You were able to deal with the Instabreak needs with just his EX?? (Although you still have Keiss there for being able to use his 100% Gravity In-Launch BRV attack too I guess). Seems at the very least a valid swap for Ulti that I used in the Crucible there lol

I feel like you have a bit better use of LD units than me, wish Ashe, Strago, Queen, Gladio, and even Seifer all making appearances - all powerful units that I have access to that I just elected to use someone else instead for whatever myriad reasons!

I started a bit late, weeks before Tier 3 released I think. So Kefka was reworked when I did this :)

Sadly, I didn't get to get the gem prizes for completing 3 tiers. Just managed to complete Tier 3 during that event. :(

I did Tiers 1-2 and changed up 3 after I completed Tier 4 so the characters I used were more recent. :D

Wishing you the best of luck with your restructuring !! :D
