Quick question - Quick answer

Alright. Probably better to ask here than in-game. Been trying to figure it out on my own but have failed so far, and searches of the forums and Google have not turned up anything yet. If there is a topic or post on this, let me know and I'll be happy to read it. :)

Really confused on the whole combined photon blast thing. I've seen it done a few times but I don't quite understand the benefit or the timing. So I guess my questions would be:

1. What is the benefit of these synchronized PBs?
2. How do you time them correctly for best results?
3. Is there any sort of standard language used to coordinate this with other players?

And I also have a somewhat-related question. I've also recently learned about donating PB power, I think. So I have a couple of additional questions about that:

4. What is the benefit of donating PB power?
5. How is it done? Someone tried to give me the correct keyboard command but it didn't seem to be working.

Thanks for the help!

1. Higher Shifta and Deband levels from Mylla & Youlla. High AoE damage on large mobs with low ELT from Pilla or Estlla.

2. Keyboard players may countdown from 3 and PB on "go". As a controller player, I use SCs (Symbol Chats) to display when I will be going if I'm the one to start a PB chain.

3. Someone typing out "100" means that their PB gauge is at 100. Usually after that others will call out their PB gauge numbers.

After all have called out their PB numbers, players with 100 will call out which PB they will use.

Usually the first person who calls out 100 will use T. It does not matter in which order PBs are used. As long as two identical PBs aren't used consecutively, everyone's PB will be used in the chain.

T = Twins (Mylla & Youlla)
P = Pilla
E = Estlla
F = Farlla
L = Leilla
G = Golla

I find the following combos easiest to coordinate:

TPET/TPTE/TEPT/TETP

If doing a 4-way combo, just have 2nd Twins go 3rd/4th.

4. Adds power to the PB chain when you aren't at 100 and cannot add another PB to the chain.

Each donate will add 10 PB to the chain with a maximum of 30 PB to donate.

If your mag's IQ is 200, each donate will add 2 levels to M&Y SD level.

5. End Key. Or whichever key you have customized to bring up Word Select or Symbol Chat menu.

Fyi also. Some people say 00 instead of 100 due to idk TA typing. Some people don't remember names also, and might shout stuff like 'moosey' aka golla. Just be sure to know who's doing what before combing.

Arrest needle always.

With fleshie: arrest needle.
With cast: high esp enemy = arrest needle / low esp = decent hit Sneedle.

yeh, Spread Needle on RAmar and RAmarl is too unreliable.

For RAcast and RAcaseal, I think Spread Needle with hit should be good enough because the priority targets you need to para are usually Dorphons and Girtas and they have low enough ESP to para with SN+50x reliably. Everything else with high esp, you can just use a freeze trap or Froozer/snowqueen most of the time.
 
For Heaven Striker hunting on purp: I know 5-3 is supposed to have the highest count of Ba Bootas, but they're spread way out and in those dark cactus jungles. YUCK.

Has anyone a have better quest to suggest? TY! I can't find enemy counts for the Ep4 non-gov quests.
 
Lost Master Blaster has the highest BA boota count. It's a custom quest made by @GuardianGirth . Also it has the most dorphons and most zus (yes more than ma4c + ma4b, it's just longer than them). Personally it's very enjoyable quest and definitely the HS hunt to be playing :)

Still has the most even after recent (?) quest changes? By recent I meant the changes just after ep4 drop chart change was introduced.
 
His quests were considerably nerfed in a lotta aspects but I believe per enemy count for the whole quest his quests still have the largest counts. For spammability I think ma4b might be better. People also shouldn't forget about 9-3 (I think it was).

Yes, they are still the highest count even after reduction. It's just a rather long quest with other enemies so like Colette says, spamming others might be preferable.
 
Can anybody please link me a working "bank-scanner-thing you need to copy-paste and make a tradelist"?
 
I'm working on obtaining a Sato using the requirements below. Once it hits 100 and evolves, will I then be allowed to use a non-FO char to level it the rest of the way to 200? I would hate to feed Sato a dimate using a non-FO char only to see it change into something else.

"Now you need a VIRIDIA, BLUEFULL, REDRIA, or WHITILL FOnewearl or FOmarl.
  • Feed mag dimates until its Pow reaches 50. Or try alternating between monomates and sol atomizers
  • At level 100 it will evolve into Sato.
  • Feed Sato Dimates to increase only Power.
  • Feed Sato Difluids to increase only Mind.
  • Feed Sato Antiparalysis to increase only Dex."

Once it's a Sato it won't evolve anymore.
 
ramar is more varied for all areas so I would make him purple and level him 1st
