Yellow Crystal Suggestions: Sherlotta, Rude, Basch, Layle, Bartz, Y'shtola, Keiss

Orb Suggestions: 

• Compendium's Special Helpers

• DissidiaDB's List of Batteries

• This orb will kill you upon exploding

Fight mechanics:

• 60T to get through 40M HP (2x 20M HP)

• BRV damage is reduced by up to 70% throughout the fight.

• BRV Gains are reduced by up to 70% throughout the fight.

General Team Themes to counter the stage:

• Sherlotta is the banner character with access to BT and FR for synergy stats, orb control and potentially big damage

• If possible, don't let these guys get turns as their ALL attack in red aura can be lethal even to last stand units

• If not racing the orb, bring big mitigation, strong HP DMG down debuffs for the enemies (like Raijin, Reno) or stuns (Kam)

Boss abilities to watch out for:

• Tremor+: AoE Melee BRVs + HP done twice. Ignores BRV mitigation, delays broken targets 3T.

• Runaway: Delays own turn, absorbs all your party's BRV, lowers your party's iBRV

General Team Themes to counter the stage:

• Exdeath is the banner unit this fight is catered to so be wary on breaking the boss with yellow aura on your button push as it will counter.

• If using Tidus, make sure his Jecht shot doesn't break the boss in Break Counter stance unless he's in BT melting their HP

• A strong BT+ unit with proper support/launches can ignore most of the fight's mechanics

Boss abilities to watch out for:

• Piercing Spear+: Recover from BREAK, BRV gain, Melee BRVs + HP done twice. Guaranteed Hit.

• Break Counter: BRV gain, upon breaking this unit, you will trigger it's counter. Recovers from BREAK every other turn.

This fight was brought to you by thick chicken tanks!

Fight mechanics:

• 75T fight with 110M HP on main boss, Minions have 5M HP each.

• BRV damage is reduced by up to 80% throughout the fight.

• BRV gain is reduced by up to 80% throughout the fight.

Tips:

• First fight where having a Force Weapon is required. Especially towards the end with the 1.1M HP regens as it becomes a damage race however you can still rely on off-turn damage such as counters, traps and Kain/Freya on enemy turns instead of a big BT phase.

• If you go into Summon/BT phase before the boss dips below 60% and push it past 59%, it will order it's minions to attack as soon as Summon/BT phase is over so make sure they die exactly on that last turn or at least take enough damage to be below half health or units will die!

• You probably want debuffs to prevent the boss warping all the time. Tidus, Gabranth, Exdeath are all great units on-field to handle this however timing useful calls like Faris, etc can work as well. 

  • You can opt to let the boss go often to counter it if you bring enough mitigation as well.

• You should be able to evade most if not all of it's HP attacks if you want it to take turns.

• It was a common strategy to use a strong Force Time + BT Phase to take the boss down as clost to 41% as possible and even taking the boss from 75%+ is possible (to skip it's threshold mechanics) however it takes a very strong Force user and damage dealer combo (Tidus BT phase was very popular as was Tidus or Kam's FR time. Supports/Allies varied from Rude to other FR users like Ursula as backup FRs or Kain/other off-turn damage dealers to assist in the big push).

  • If you do try this method yourself be wary that after leaving BT phase in FR time and failing to kill the boss is not necessarily a restart! Unless the adds kill you for pushing thresholds, if you still have another FR use in the tank with at least 20 turns (so you can refill FR gauge and use another Force Time) there is still hope to clear even if the boss heals 1% of it's HP as you'll also be doing damage to reduce it's healing.
