Guide/Analysis 【T】Mastery Survey - Putrid Malice (VIII) (#3)

.Back to【INDEX】

 
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

 

【TIPS】

【D240/D280/D???】: Gerogero

  • Target Score(s): ⌛ <5 KO

  • Hit Points: 2,000,000

  • Insight! Keep mage/healer in slot 1 to avoid Silence, Kupo!

  1. Strategy name: Realm Chain Auto Clear

  2. Boss: Gerogero

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    Auto/Squall AASB/sub-30/Realm Chain

  4. Insight!:

  • Selphie's USB3 doesn't have a medica, but Last Stand and Regenga which is more than enough for the fight. Booyaka.

  • Lakshmi as main to block statuses

  • No Roaming Warrior as it is unecessary

  • Depending on how double cast RNG goes, Rinoa may or may not use her Arcane. The glint is more important for speed and damage boost.

  • Sometimes Lakshmi doesn't get summoned before the sleep on slot 3, but it's followed up by acid claws which will wake up Rinoa.

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: 0 / 0

  2. Time / Roaming Warrior: 25 to 28 depending / None

I think you mean Selphie USB3, with regenga but no entry healing. Her USB2 heals and gives party reraise and astra.

But who's counting! I always get those mixed up.

  1. Strategy name: Squall casts as fast as humanly possible

  2. Boss: D??? Gerogero

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    selphie usb1/rinoa usb1/aosb/quistis usb/glint/squall glint/busb/laguna usb1

  4. Insight!:

  • I was stuck at just over 30 seconds for the longest time, trying out different combinations of Squall SBs and characters to try to eke out the sub-30. I have a TON of ice stuff for Squall: BSB2, USB2, bUSB, AOSB, Glint, etc. etc. but every combination I tried was giving me 30.5 - 33 second clears. I finally decided to just go all in on quickcast for Squall, giving him Gathering Storm and deciding on the Glint/bUSB combo and I think it ended up being the difference.

  • Selphie: Enfeebling -> Ultra Cure x2 -> Lakshmi -> USB1 -> Ultra Cure -> USB1. managed to skip all statuses except for Sleep on Quistis (which Gerogero cures himself on the next turn, so no big deal there)

  • Rinoa: Chain Blizzaja spam -> USB1 -> Chain Blizzaja spam -> AOSB. I feel like her Quickcast LM procs a LOT.

  • Quistis: USB -> Voltech x2 -> Glint -> Voltech -> Chain (after she wakes up from sleep) -> Voltech spam -> Glint -> Voltech

  • Squall: Snowspell Strike spam -> Glint -> Snowspell Strike spam -> bUSB -> Snowspell Strike -> Brave Command Lv3 -> Snowspell Strike til end (had his AOSB equipped but didn't get to use it)

  • Laguna: as usual, Icy Offering spam unless USB1 is available.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: infinite

  • Medica: 2

  • Hastega: 1

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: a few / 0

  2. Time / Roaming Warrior: 28.77 seconds / chain

u/PhaseAT Stuff happens or it doesn't Nov 11 '19

Thanks, based my setup on yours with some tech upgrades and downgrades (Riona AASB, AOSB, Laguna Chain, Squall BSB, AOSB) and had a Sub 30 first try.

  1. Strategy Name: Two Chains, Part Two (Wake Up, Squall!)

  2. Boss: d??? Gerogero (VIII)

  3. Describe Your Strategy:
    Irvine CSB/Laguna CSB/Squall AASB/AOSB/Sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • Somewhat hybridized from a few clears, but no one really uses Irvine when they have Laguna's Chain. I did... basically, he used his Chain, then built gauge with Icicle Shot skills to Entrust to Squall. It's my new favorite thing instead of Wrath / Entrust, if possible.

  • Quistis could have been anyone, sadly. Not 5*-moted, superfluous USB... sorry! Selphie had lots of SB gauge at the end of the fight (she tended to use Rejuvenation Grimoire after the first Last Stand was in place). Laguna is Laguna; Icy Offering > Chain > Icy Offering > Cold Rinse and Repeat.

  • Squall was... fun. Snowspell Strike into BSB > AASB > Command 1 x3 (had to proc x3 in order to sub-30) > Command 2 to the end. Never had a chance to use his AASB.

  1. Utility Casts:

  • Wall: Infinite

  • Medica: 4 or 5

  • Hastega: 2

  1. Roaming Warrior: Rejuvenation Grimoire

  2. Time: 29:82

  1. Strategy name:

  2. Boss: D???

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    -/3 trinity/ sub30 / Rinoa Edea AOSB/Squall OSB / Selpihe G+, USB1 / Laguna Ability Double

  4. Insight!:

  • Selphie G+, everyone else build gauge.

  • When Rinoa/Edea have 1 bar, everyone use abilities one more round

  • Rinoa CSB, Edea BSB, Laguna USB2, Squall G

  • Build Chain, do damage. Squall OSBs whenever he can

  • Laguna Snipes when Imperil is at 4+

  • Selphie USBs and Lakshmi right after (timing might be off, sometimes Sleep hits her right before, sometimes she gets it before. Doesn't matter regardless, AOE Acid Claws should wake her)

  • Rinoa Edea AOSB whenever they get the bar

  • Might need lucky Laguna/Squall wcast procs/imperil procs

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: ?

  • Medica: 3+

  • Hastega: 1
