Fight Notes
This fight was brought to you by Hidden Mist Village!
Fight mechanics:
60T fight, each Weapon has 15M HP (30M HP Total)
BRV damage is reduced between 70% and 80% throughout the fight.
BRV gain is reduced between 20% and 30% throughout the fight.
General Team Themes to counter the stage:
Each player action ticks for -2, turn hog responsibly!
BRV gain reduction is quite low; use this to your advantage
DEF ignore is highly recommended as they have high DEF anyway and their yellow aura goes away if you DEF ignore enough
HP Requirement is low, bringing a healing call can help in a pinch near the end especially since
HP Poison aura is quite potent, you will need to bring a healer
Maria, Llyud, Firion and Snow are good combinations for healing
Cater is a strong option to keep party safe while not providing healing with LD Freeze and Dodging/1T Lock
Machina and Locke with BT+ 3/3 melt this fight so support them and cover the orb
Noel is another solid option for damage
Boss abilities to watch out for:
Special countdown appears!: HP Poison aura (30% mHP) while orb is up
Magic Size: AoE BRV. Inflicts BRV DMG Down (-50%) to party
Swing Rod: Targets random player below 30% mHP. BRV attack. Lowers buff counts by 4. Can only happen 3 times (this count resets once below 49%)
Taking Defensive Stance! (yellow aura): Raises DEF. Occurs when orb leaves and again below 50%
Removing the aura requires a combination of the following things to occur 20 times:
Boss takes a turn
Boss gets hit with DEF ignore
Our party recovers more than 1% mHP with an ability

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: Edge, Alphinaud or Edward
Right: Freya or Firion
Reckoning: Edgar, Edge or Freya
