General Team Themes to counter the stage:
Bring strong Single Target damage to focus down the big Might Eater.
It will absorb your BRV at points in the fight so deny it BRV Gains or apply heavy poison/sap.

60T fight, 40M HP
This orb will kill you upon exploding
BRV damage is reduced by up to 70% throughout the fight.
BRV gains are reduced by up to 50% throughout the fight.
General Team Themes to counter the stage:
Consider debuff evasion to prevent potentially bad debuffs like paralyze if allowing the boss to take turns.
Single target damage will do wonders against this lonely Colorless Queen
If rushing down the enemy with FR, have fun!
Reckoning vs 1x-> 3x Ingranaggio
Force Thresholds
Enemy and Ally turns boost Enemy FR Gauge charge by 3%. Force Weakness: Magic FR that inflicts 3+ debuffs and triggers Force Time. Will remove any auras on Enemies. Inflicting 1 debuff to 3 enemies will also work!0% onward: 50% BRV DMG Resist, 30% SPD Up
100%: triggers Needle Gigaspread, Needle Gigaspread+ or Needle Gigaspread++
Needle Gigaspread: AoE Magic BRVs. Applies Yellow Aura: Upgrades next FR to Needle Gigaspread+.
Needle Gigaspread+: AoE Magic BRVs + HP. Applies Red Aura: Upgrades next FR to Needle Gigaspread++. Grants 50% HP DMG Resist to enemy party 5T. Warps after Ally action.
Needle Gigaspread++: Instantly KO everyone.
HP Thresholds
Only 1 Enemy out at the start of the fight
Lower it to below 50% HP to summon the other 2. Also grants Enemy Party 100% SPD Up.
It can't die until it summons it's friends.
Boss Breakdown
It will grant itself BRV Regen (75k), BRV Shield and ATK up buffs (2T, 2T & 5T respectively) as it attacks.
Outside of Needle Gigaspread+, every HP attack is Single Target and can be handled by a tank like Galuf or Gladio (Auron/Celes may need help as taking to heavy HPs back to back can kill them).
VERY low HP for a Shinryu fight, just don't die and the fight should be easier for those who like to rushdown.

Notes on Solos/Duos
Due to the slow release of Transcendence and the power of our units growing, many previous Reckonings (Middle Gates) can be done with 1-2 units which means using 1 unit on each Crucible (Side Gate). While it helps save units, some Solos/Duos have luck or specific strategy components so we will help identify at least which units have been extremely useful in the tier as of this update (made June 2023) so if Solo/Duo strategies aren't your thing, you can at least see what unit does great in a fight so you can throw some more units at it.
When we mention a character we assume them to have as many upgrades and weapons as possible. These will also be added to each tier page.
REMINDER: start at the latest tier and go backward as you can use your strongest units faster that way with little fear of needing to shuffle units around. These units are great if you have them, but you can overpower stages without them.
Left: Leo, Thancred or Seymour. (If you plan to get Leo's BT and FR, he can be more useful in Tier 16)
Right: Dorgann or Celes
Reckoning: Dorgann or Celes
