Transcendence Tier 15

Fight Breakdown (200M HP each)

• The biggest, realistic threat this fight has are it's HP gates and it's attacks after them:

  • Quick Refresher: HP Gates are MANDATORY and while enemies may take HP damage (you can see the red numbers) their HP will not lower past the gate. (Ex. These bosses have an HP gate at 69% - nice - and their HP cannot go lower than that until they Settle Down & Lowering party's MAX HP. So if you Burst/Summon phase and they can't do their mechanic, their HP will stay at 69% until you're out.)

• 69% - Settle Down & Lowering party's MAX HP : Self Delay and they can now have their HP lowered 

  • Our Party's MAX HP is lowered to 20% it's usual value, not an HP gravity, the whole thing shrinks. Both enemies need to cast this to pass their HP gate, but the values will not stack on top of eachother.

  • Enemies will try to Landshatter+ on their next turn

    • Landshatter+ : Remove our Party's Buffs and AoE BRV + HP attack. Ignores mitigation.

• 59% - Party's MAX HP restored! : Cancels the previous mHP aura.

• 49% - Settle Down : Self Delay and they can now have their HP lowered

• 29% - On the Final Offensive : Heals 20% of their health (40M each), Self Delay and they can now have their HP lowered 

  • Our Party's MAX HP is lowered to 20% it's usual value again.

  • Enemies will try to Landshatter+ on their next turn (the big scary move)

  • BT phase and Summons are good for a final push here if they weren't used to setup before FR time.

Misc Notes

• They fill their FR gauge slowly so you can choose to race their FR with little pushback.

• Summon/BT Phases are great for setting up early or finishing the fight.

• Echo timing will vary as you don't want to waste too much damage extending FR time but you also don't want to run out of Force Time.

• While the fight has Rem's base kit and BT in mind, other units with turn manipulation like Noctis and Raines paired with high damage dealers and/or supports like Reks, Mog, Serah, etc can pound their way through as you can prevent enemy turns along with their own self delay at certain thresholds. Stay Moggers everyone!

• For now, RESPECT THE HP GATES! In a few months after new powercreep/mechanics are introduced, it is possible to pull off a tight solo run, but for now Mechanics are not just for cars.

• For some reason, they added a weird ticking time bomb mechanic (kill the bosses by turn 60) with a couple intervals (by turn 21, enemy should be below 70% & at turn 41 they should be below 30%). However, the fight only has a 40 turn limit so you need to be done by turn 40 anyway. It felt weird, but maybe the other checkpoints may be more threatening so here they are.
