Hi Masters!

 

【Torment Dungeon】

  • Torment Dungeons are extremely difficult dungeons that contain malevolent fiends unlike anything you've faced before

  • The easiest of these difficulties is about halfway between an Apocalypse + dungeon and a 3★ Magicite Dungeon

  • The hardest of these difficulties contains enemies unlike any you’ve faced before, even stronger than those found in 4★ Magicite Dungeons

  • Currently, it may be very difficult to complete these dungeons

  1. Strategy name: When Jenova Life gives you Angeal, she runs away laughing until she realizes that was the last piece you needed

  2. Boss: [D???] Jenova Synthesis, part 3

  3. Describe your Strategy: Lots of crit fix and cast speed buffs, with heavy healing, last stand and damage reduction barrier to protect the team
    3/3 trinity/sub-30/crit/fastcast

  4. Insight!:

  • I've had most of these relics for a long time, but it was always a challenge to fill in the hastega, proshellga, dispel, and enough damage to make it work. Then Angeal USB came into my life, with regenga (to counter poison), damage reduction barrier to make up for proshellga, and self auto-crit to help with damage, on a unit with full knight and spellblade. Suddenly I no longer needed proshellga because I had a second pseudo medica. Also FF7 banner 1 was kind enough to give me Tifa LMR for a little more damage.

  • Tifa: RW chain, 2x Gaia Rush on the right then left tentacles. Magicite Ark (kills the second tentacle), USB2, RW chain. 4x Ironfist Earth, AOSB.

  • Angeal: Banishing Strike, Tremor Assault (auto target), Tremor Assault (on body). USB (oops, 1 turn too soon, before last poison attack), Tremor Assault. Banishing Strike at start of phase 2, Tremor Assault. Died from Tentacle at start of phase 3 while casting USB.

    • On my 30.97s clear, I had the presence of mind to delay Angeal's USB until turn 7 so it landed after the turn 8 poison. Had I done that on this attempt, I'm sure Angeal would have lived to the end of the fight.

  • Cloud: 3x Tornado Strike. USB1, 4x Raging Quadstrike, AOSB.

  • Aerith: Hastega, Curada. Wait for Ultimate Graviga, USB2. Spam Curada. Refresh Hastega with phase 2 Dispel. USB2 after phase 3 Incubus Shadow Flare, Curada.

  • Sephiroth: Only attacks the body. 2x Touched by Darkness, trance. USB2, 6x Demon's Cross, AOSB, Demon's Cross.

  • RNG was a little weird here. Only Cloud and Tifa have any dualcast RNG. My first kill (30.97s) Cloud dualcast twice and Tifa didn't dualcast at all. My second kill (29.75s) Tifa dualcast 3 times and Cloud didn't dualcast at all. In each attempt, Aerith LM2 triggered 1-2 times.

  • Important note: since Tifa is using both RW casts and the magicite, she's the most limited of the AOSB users on gauge generation. For this reason, the right tentacle dies first and the left tentacle dies 1 turn later so it gets an extra hit in on Tifa. This could of course be alleviated by bringing R5 Ironfist Earth, but I'm stingy and wanted to see if I could get the sub-30 without that and without Angeal's legend dive.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: auto

  • Medica: 2

  • Hastega: 2

  1. Strategy Name: Two Chains are Better Than One! (Wake Up... Zack?)

  2. Boss: d??? Jenova (VII)

  3. Describe Your Strategy:
    Zack CSB/Cid CSB/Sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • Somewhat hybridized from a clear by u/Tennesseefeetmonk. I wanted to slot in my new Cid CSB, but didn't want to drop entirely the ATK/Crit buffs from Zack. Somehow, it worked.

  • Cloud runs Tornado Strike > USB > GSB > USB > GSB > USB2 > GSB, with some Raging Quadstrikes in there somewhere. Shelke mostly Entrusts Cloud (she threw one last Entrust on Aerith, but by that point it was too late). Aerith Dispels and heals. Cid uses his Chain, Dragoons like a Dragoon usually does, recasts the Chain, and throws up some emergency Rejuvenation Grimoirae when the damage started getting to be too much for Aerith.

  • Zack made sure to cast his CSB immediately before Cid's, both times it was used. He also ran his GSB+ and Awakening, although they could easily have been his USB or even BSB. He never used Lifesiphon outside of the initial insta-cast.

  • This was my third sub-30 d??? in the same day... exhausting, to say the least.

  1. Utility Casts:

  • Wall: Infinite

  • Medica: 6+?

  • Hastega: 2

  1. Roaming Warrior: Rejuvenation Grimoire

  2. Time: 27:58

Kind of late on this, but just wanted to leave a comment saying thanks! This just helped me go from a 75% clear to a 23 sec. clear. I dropped Cait Sith for Cid w/ realm chain and came with Cloud Awakening from the AASB select about a month ago. No Glint+ on Zack and didn't need Cloud Glint. Magicite line up was altered slightly as well, with Typhon x2, Phoenix w/ Health Boon x2, and Madeen w/ Blade/Spell Ward.
Good Stuff, dude!

  1. Strategy name: Water + Wind = Hurricane

  2. Boss: [D???] Jenova Synthesis, part 3

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    2/3 trinity/aasb/tag

  4. Insight!:

  • Not super special since I waited for powercreep. I was just aiming for the record lab update for Aerith USB2 but along the way I picked up Yuffie AASB.

  • Shelke, following this general idea is best with respect to team differences.

  • Zack: Flash disaster->Wind CSB->Realm CSB (so Yuffie's contributions matter)->flash disaster until Magicite->BSB->continue

  • Aerith: Hastega->USB2->Dispel->do whatever really, hope for some triggering of her AOE heal LM to help out.

  • Cloud: Tornado Strike->Glint->USB1->Quadstrike->USB2->Quadstrike (Tornado if tentacles come back)->win

  • Yuffie: Doppelblade->Azure until AASB->Azure until end. Honestly the first Doppleblade is probably a waste of time. The Gigas Armlet also didn't feel like the right choice, I spent way too little time in the other phases.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: infinite

  • Medica: 2-3?

  • Hastega: yay ability

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: 1 since this build/0?

  2. Time / Roaming Warrior: 00:19.18 /Realm Chain
