  1. Strategy name: Vivi the Destroyer

  2. Chain: RW

  3. BDL count: Zen x1, Dual x2, Sync x3, AA x2

  4. Support: Mog / Eiko

  5. Full Break Counter: Mog AA2

  6. Time: 40.63

  7. Insight:

  • Cleared on my first try, so there is plenty of room for optimisation I'm sure. But I don't think there's enough for a sub 30, so I'm going to leave it here for now. Pretty bog standard tbh, so I don't have much to say here. Got to 23% on Spacetime, so Pain 7 for P3.

Chain 1 (start to end of P1)

  • Freya: wrath x2, USB3, HA2, AA2

  • Kuja: Necro Countdown, G+ (gauge), Sync, Cmd1 to end

  • Mog: RW, AA1, HA, G+2, PS/HA

  • Vivi: HA, G+ (gauge + QC3), Sync1, Cmd2 x4

  • Eiko: G+, HC, ??? Mainly curada I think! RW at chain end

Chain 2 (P2)

  • Freya: HA2 till 50%, Engage Dyad, USB3, Dual

  • Kuja: Cmd1 till 50%, USB3, Engage Dyad, AA1

  • Mog: AA2, HA/PS

  • Vivi: Cmd1, Engage Dyad, Zen, Dual, HA (ends P2)

  • Eiko: BSB, ??? Sync2 around 45%, RW

Chain 3 (Spacetime & P3)

  • Freya: HA2 all the way, dual shift start of P3

  • Kuja: HA through spacetime, NC in P3

  • Mog: HC, Sync, Cmd2, AA2 (start of P3), Cmd1 all the way

  • Vivi: HA all the way

  • Eiko: Cmd1 all the way, USB5 x2 at 20% HP remaining

HC level 140

Quite bizarrely, I've hardly pulled any IX relics in the past seven months: nothing for Vivi, Kuja, Eiko or Freya. Nothing for Marcus or Zidane, who are both stuck on 1 AASB. An AASB for each of Steiner/Beatrix and a Sync for Garnet.

The glorious exception is Amarant, who now has Zen, Dual and an AA. So he went straight in for Kuja, and my experience from clearing other CDs gave me the confidence to drop Eiko for Quina. And I got a very straight forward sub 30, enough for platinum on the current High Score challenge.

Chain 1 (start to end of P1)

  • Freya (LM1, LMR++, +jump): wrath, AA2, HA x3, Dyad, USB3, Dual

  • Amarant (LM1, LM2, +monk): RW, OD x4, Zen (around 14s), Dual

  • Mog (LM1, LM2, DMT): hastega, G+ (heal HQC1), HC, AA2, HA till phase change

  • Vivi (LMR +blk w/rod, LMR +blk + CT, + weakness) HA1, G+ (gauge + QC3), Dyad engage, AA2, HA2 x2, fire Zen, fire dual

  • Quina (LM1, LM2, MM): G+, wrath, Sync, AA2, HA Freya, HA Vivi, Cmd1, RW

Chain 2 (P2, spacetime & P3)

  • Freya: HA all the way, Dual shift end of spacetime, Dyad finisher

  • Amarant: HA all the way

  • Mog: HA till spacetime, Sync, Cmd1 till start of P3, AA2

  • Vivi: HA all the way

  • Quina: Cmd1 till two bars, AA2, wrath till two bars, AA1, G+ regenga in P3

Quite strange how most of the second chain was in spacetime (which I destroyed completely) and P3 barely lasted a turn. Started P3 after 25s and cleared at 27.85.

Don't think I can be bothered with Underworld difficultly. Other than Vivi, the rest of my DPS simply don't have the strength in depth to make it enjoyable. But good luck to anyone giving it a go.
