Salt Ramen too for food, don't think that was mention yet.
Not necessarily
To gain 90 eva from Salt Ramen you need >1800 base Evasion.
That's not gonna happen on BRD. Can get close to that with SV songs up.

Without SV you're realistically going to get more eva, most of the time at least, with Seafood Gratin. Cap is lower, but % is higher
12% vs 5%.
Not saying Salt Ramen is bad, it's not at all! Just wanted to make sure people noticed this small but key difference.

I wonder with the introduction of Prime Weapons if we’re getting a new song. Or just another annoying instrument to cycle through.

Or another weapon (like Carn/Mandau/Twashtar) that isn't either of those options.

Has anyone done any direct testing with Con Anima and Con Brio? I was perusing the JP wiki and noticed something. The pages for both of them have the phrase, "This effect is multiplied in a separate frame from cut equipment." I'm only working off of Google translate but that almost makes it sound like they work similar to SDT. I always thought they were simply PDT/MDT and were part of the 50% cap.

I went ahead and tested Con Brio and Con Anima to see exactly how they worked. It looks like they are applied in a separate step after your initial 50% DT.

5/5 without JSE.


5/5 with JSE.

Are PDT II and MDT II additive with PDT and MDT or are they applied in a separate step?

How does one replace 2x min with 2x ballad for mages? For example after buffing the group I want to song the mages with ballad but it will only overwrite the shortest song which will be Ballard, so can have 2x ballad. Any tips here?

Best and a 100% safe way to do this is to overwrite songs with ur harp. In my "harp set" i focus on reacst time, so no duration here (why have been asked alot "why is ur songs so short".. lol). But if u only use harpy to overwrite ur songs it will be enough.
The challenge is when more than one perons in the party want more than one "special" song for them self, it can be a challenge before JA wear off.

Anyway, basicly it goes like this: do all songs as usual,f.ex HM Mad March Min Min. Then enable harpy and pianissimo Mad Min Min, then disable harpy and pianissimo Minne Ballad Ballad.

... and expect the whm to /kneel in front of u! :p

I don't think the set really changes at all. Best you can do differently duration-wise is to equip 2x Kalis. It adds up to 10% Duration+ in those slots. That will have to do you until you get your carn.

Also, @Seizan:

Just sing your minuets first and marches last. The minuets will overwrite easily since they're the oldest songs. That way you don't have to pianissimo or harp-swap so many times. If you sing minuets first, you only need the harp to put up your two dummies, then you can use ghorn the rest of the time.

Thoughts on the 567 tier for Horde Lullaby 2?
Now that we know the stats on Empy3 and we know that ML is gonna cap at ML50 for a long time, we can reach 567 quite easily but that means giving up ~49% song duration (14 from +3 AF3 body, 20 from +3 AF1 hands, 15 from +3 AF1 feet).

"best" scenario would be using AF1+3 body, AF2+3 feet, Harfner's Sash, Erato Cape ==> this allows to keep AF1+3 hands, generating 567 string skill, -29% duration and ~80 macc loss.

Otherwise you could be using AF1+3 body, AF3+3 hands, Harfner's Sash ==> this allows to keep AF1+3 feet and Ambu cape, generating 570 string skill, -34% duration, more or less no macc loss.


Of course could have two sets for Horde Lullaby II, one focusing on duration (486 tier) and one focusing on range (567 tier).
I dunno, I'm pondering this myself.
I see pros and cons, not sure I want to bother.



Edit:
All of the above calculations assume ML50, which we're supposedly getting in November if we're to trust the time table SE mentioned.

Do you have HQ Mousai gear? If not it'll be a ***, you basically will have to wait till the last 10-15s of Nitro to try and get it on, otherwise they won't easily overwrite the Minuet

Stick Minne first, wait like 30s and cast Ballad, should stick. Otherwise what I've done before, is cast the March and then have the tank pull, pianissimo the songs onto him after you've applied songs to the rest of the pty.

Ordering your songs fixes this, this is how I do it and always can apply minne and ballad to tank like this without large delays.

At start with clarion call
Minuets followed dummies followed by honor march and victory march last, can immediately piano the tank, minuets get eaten.

At the 2 resing points, nitro reapply party songs, in your case like this Minuet4, Minuet5, blade madrigal, honor march, victory march then ballad the healer, then piano the tank x2, minne then ballad, minuets should be overwritten.

At minimum cast times you have minuet minuet madrigal march march, that's 20s, ballad healer is 5 seconds for piano/cast, minne tank 5 seconds, then piano and ballad is 2 seconds. If you have more than 32 second deficit between minuet and ballad then there are probably equipment problems to address.

Lol Im a little scared on those replies and surprised none gave him this answer yet >.>

You will overwrite the song with least duration unless you sing the song that someone has already then it will overwrite itself. If you have less duration on Ballads and Minnie then you can force two whichever songs you want to overwrite on PLD and cast it in no duration gear with Pianissimo.

So in your case, if you want to lets say overwrite minuets, you do Pianissimo Minuet V with no duration gear, then Pianissimo Minuet IV with no duration gear and that PLD now has two Minuets that are significantly shorter duration than his Honor, Vmarch and Madrigal. You then do Pianissimo Ballad and Pianissimo Minnie with normal duration gear and they will overwrite both Minuets.

This is a little more work, but gives you total control of what songs are overwritten and it's very helpful in many other situations when you might want to change songs for some reason.

Really nice work. I like volte legs for fast cast though. You can cap fast cast without changing weapons which is nice if you want to keep TP

awesome :)

the 550 Gift gives a 5% Song Spellcasting Time reduction, I believe that counts toward the gear cap. that should open up some additional defensive slots for your ideal precast set
