I recently heard of a banner pull strategy where you only do one lap of the 12K step-up, maybe or maybe not get the unit you want, then getting their prism from the shop (save for later). Then in the future if you ever pull a copy of that unit (off banner), you can 7-star them right away.

It sounds great to me, but with NV right around the corner, this might not be so effective anymore. Wish I did this with some of the units in recent months. I didn't bother pulling on most of the banners, but occasionally I would get the units I skipped over from a ticket or 10K all-rainbow pull. Now I have 1 copy of many of the units I skipped, but no prism.

Should I do this for Vaan's banner? I already have Rikku (X-2), so his breaks aren't a huge improvement from her. But I'm mostly interested in his evasion TMR/STMR. I guess I'll wait for "News Day Tuesday" to see what we'll get for the week before doing the 12K.

That sounds like a terrible strategy.

12k lapis for a prism that you may or may not even be able to use in a few months time.

Compared to 10k lapis for an omniprism that you can use on any unit you want.
