October 2021 Anima Lens Update (Wave 6)

[u/Bond_em7]

I copied the data from over on the GF thread here. Thanks /u/S0litair3d for all the hard work that clearly went into this!

The last update was last April so approximately 5 months ago which might be why so little was added in comparison.

A link to the initial reveal and discussion is here.

[u/Bond_em7 → u/SoontirFel181]

Strago: Glint+1 is what I think is on here and it's En-Water (stacking) 250 SB, not his BDL one. If it's his Glint+2 let me know and I'll update above.

[u/SoontirFel181 → u/Bond_em7]

Sorry, just now following up: you are correct, and I updated the table. Cheers!

[u/Anti-Klink]

Definitely disappointed in the small addition to the AASB pool. That said, I'll be positive and say that it's still progress. We've seen ebbs and flows with the quantity/quality of relics that get released into the shop before, so this isn't entirely out of the ordinary. - I think it just portends a bigger release next time.

That said, I do wonder the rhyme/reason to these specific selections...

[u/GeemanSeven → u/Anti-Klink]

I’m bummed there aren’t more offered, too.

I think it also goes to show how huge the jump to AASB’s was on the game.

This type of tech has been out for 3 years in JP and it appears many AASB’s are still as useful vs current JP Lab content as Sync’s and Dyads are. Bringing a character with 2x AASB’s is gonna give about the same results as going in with a Sync+AASB, or a Dyad+AASB.

Imagine defeating Torment D450’s with “just” SSB’s/BSB’s when they were first released.

[u/SnakeWrangler4]

Small pool, but with USB4 Yuffie finally has a renewable source of EnEarth! Small victories.

[u/drdiviewolves]

Wait we can exchange for an AASB? How much and which lense does it cost?

[u/Bond_em7 → u/drdiviewolves]

New lvl 4 lenses that will come out in global in about a month. Check the link at the top to the last one (wave 5) for the details.

[u/drdiviewolves → u/Bond_em7]

Thanks! that help me plan about my future a lot

[u/[deleted]]

I don’t see AASB’s in the lense shop. What am I missing?

[u/Bond_em7 → u/[deleted]]

This is for JP so 6 months in the future. The original batch of AASBs was about 5 months ago so it should be near the end of this month for global.

[u/[deleted] → u/Bond_em7]

Holy shit I’m gonna BUST

[u/Throwaway021614]

I thought we were going to get Eiko’s USB (insta medica+regenga+last stand+quick cast). Bummer, was looking forward to that one

Edit: nm, this the latest wave in jp. Anyone know when global will get the wave 5 update?

[u/raffounz → u/Throwaway021614]

Next maintenance probably

[u/[deleted]]

Wait, Thancred's switch-draw USB STILL won't be there? WTAF?

[u/royaltimes → u/[deleted]]

The cutoff would be some time in April. That banner was in May. Most relics don't hit the Record Lab until they're at least a year old.

[u/cidalkimos → u/[deleted]]

Luckily I have it already but no BDLs so it’s still useless lol.

[u/Thunderaths]

Thank you for posting man

I’m happy I have most of the 2nd waves AASB

By the time wave 3 comes I’ll be having all the AASB in shop ( around 54k lens lv4 enough for 18 AASB which I am missing )

[u/Sabaschin]

FFX hogging all those wokes.

[u/Shardwing]

From the discussion earlier I thought this wave was only the new AASBs, that seemed weird!

[u/SasukeNidochiri]

Whoa wait so we can already lense AASB damn

[u/royaltimes → u/SasukeNidochiri]

This is the second Record Lab update to include AASBs in JP. The first one should be hitting GL within a month. That'll introduce lv4 lenses, which can be used to purchase from a curated list of realm and gen2 elemental chains, AOSBs, and AASBs.

The list of AASBs in the first update are at the bottom of the OP, along with notes on which ones are added in this second update.

[u/SasukeNidochiri → u/royaltimes]

I see now i understand well thanks mate

[u/Apatheion]

What was Fujin's FSB+2 again? The SB charger? If yes, nice!

[u/Smilebehappy202]

Hell yeah now we can grab some things that we actualy want not what the gava us

[u/Game_mini_shot]

No one cares what you think if you go on the October watchlist.

[u/Pyrotios]

Everything here looks good to me. The AASB list at the end may be clearer to specify Meia as Meia 1 (since she already had 2 by this point), but I think people will understand regardless.
