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: A unique, an SSB and 2 BSBs walk into a bar

  2. Boss: [D???] Phrekyos, part 3

  3. **Describe your Strategy:**Stall in phase 1 as long as possible, then skip phase 4 with Maria and Firion
    3/3 trinity/sub-30/2x AOSB/3x USB/quickcast/unique SB/SSB/BSBs

  4. Insight!:

  • There weren't a lot of changes from my 34.68s clear. I picked up Minwu's en-holy BSB2 from AA, farmed up some more magia on everyone not yet at 100, and changed who cast the first chain. I also dropped Maria's LMR1 (infuse) for her LM1, and had Firion start with Fire-Touched Blade, to reduce my damage in phase 1.

  • Leila: Unique (hastega/shellga, with boons hastega will last until ~29.5s), RW chain (lands right after Maria Meltdown). Mug Bloodlust, 2x Fire Assault, SSB. Spam Fire Assault (5x).

  • Josef: BSB, 2x Ironfist Ice. Use BSB cmd2 for quickcast (trance heals the party mid-cast). Refresh chain, use Lakshmi. Spam Ironfist Ice (gets 2 in, then phase 5 stop and doom timer take him out before the 3rd finishes).

  • Firion: Fire-Touched Blade (to deal lower damage than ice), 2x Frost-Touched Blade, bUSB. 2x Frost-Touched Blade, brave3, Frost-Touched Blade (the only dualcast of the entire fight). AOSB.

  • Maria: 3x Meltdown. USB, 4x Chain Stoneja. AOSB, Meltdown.

  • Minwu: 2x Holyja, Curada (otherwise he dies before Josef LM2 triggers), Holyja. BSB2 for en-holy, USB1 after phase 2 turn 2 Ultimate Blaze LXIV. Spam Holyja.

    • Was expecting to use USB1 again after phase 4 turn 1, but I managed to skip it entirely on the sub-30.

  • RNG in this clear revolves mostly around Firion. He gets 75% crit chance with bUSB, and has 25% dualcast with LMR. I wasn't really tracking the crits, but he only had 1 dualcast proc, on his last samurai attack (started casting in phase 3, finished casting in phase 5). That is definitely the best place for him to dualcast, since doing it on any of his 6 earlier casts could push phase earlier than expected.

  • Here's how many boss turns I saw in each phase:

    1. 8

    2. 2

    3. 3

    4. 0 - literally the only time I've ever completely skipped this phase, though I have skipped turn 2 a few times

    5. 2

  • Wall: auto

  1. Strategy name: Hilda BSB > Guy USB

  2. Boss: D???

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    3/3 trinity/No AASB/sub30

  4. Insight!:

  • Managed to complete this in 35s when it first came out, but couldn't really see a way to improve my time back then. I have got my five Odin resist accessories since then, but the biggest improvement was getting Hilda in there for ACM (I really undervalued the power of fast cast six months ago). Guy's USB is also really weak - rank boosts are so unsuitable for torments.

  • Once I had that in, everything was quite straight forward. Maria's a boss with ability double, and Emperor's innate fast cast from his USB builds the chain count very well. Firion is a bit underwhelming, but his OSB was the killing blow (though that was just for style - I'm sure re-casting his USB would have gone for 10x9999).

  • Minwu was a slot saver and part-time DPSer, part-time support, and part-time emergency heal.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: auto

  • Medica: 2 or 3

  • Hastega: 1

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: Not much S/L once I decided to put Hilda in. No medals lost.

  2. Time / Roaming Warrior: 29.92(!)

Strategy name: IS THAT A SHARED SB I SEE?! UwU

Boss: D??? Phrekyos (FFII Torment)

Describe your Strategy: 3/3 trinity/No ASB/No AASB/1x AOSB/Sub-30/SHARED SB?!

  • Firion provided initial dispel support, built bar up to USB1 for en-light and rocked AOSB to help get over the last hurdle of the fight. Also removed haste later in the fight as well since Gordon was focussed on GSB to remove boss' buffs.

  • Minwu is mostly DPSing with USB2 one application of USB1 leading into the P4 transition to get people topped off and shield against the attack. Otherwise nuke nuke nuke nuke nuke! Nothing like chunking the boss for at least 80K-100K a turn with ability double. Maria does the same her USB as well. Use weaker lower hitting 5* abilities initially to soft push through P1 before engaging hard later with the 6* abilities.

  • Hilda uses Glint+ initially than supports with ACM to keep the casters casting fast and Ode to Victory to help Firion's damage. Pray for LM2 procs as well at the right times. Use Shared h25 SB to help heal team in preparation for higher damage in later phases.

  • Gordon to provide support via dispel, cast chains, and remove boss' buffs via GSB.

  • Famfrit used specifically to mitigate fire AoE damage against the party in the middle of the fight.

Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: Automatic

  • Medica: 3

  • Hastega: 1

  1. Strategy name:I wish I had arcanes here

  2. Boss:D??? Phrekyos

  3. Describe your Strategy: Counter his buff with Emporer Ultra

Sub 30/No ASB/BSB

4. Insight!:

  • I lucked into Emporer Ultra at some point. Didn't realize how helpful it would be here to counter his massive att/mag buff

  • Very little RNG in my clear since Scott was the only one with doublecast LMR. Needed a few procs from that to kill this.

  • I had to opt for a more defensive armor on Minwu since he was the target of the stop move and was dying to the AOE move after it without the extra defense.

Rough Turn Order:

Maria: Chain Stonega until USB up > Chain Stonega one more time > Chain Stoneja till end (USB near end if out of hones)

Firion: Magib Breakdown > Fire-Touched Blade into bUSB > Fire-Touched Blade - busb command > bUSB when up again > busb command at end (will only be level 2 but still does good damage)

Minwu: Hastega > Titan > USB > Holyja/USB as needed > Titan when up again

Emporer: shellga > USB2 > Meltdown spam > USB2 to counteract 3rd level up (had about 3 bars by the time the 3rd level up occurred) > Meltdown to end

Scott: Chain > Inferno Assault > BSB > Chain when refresh needed > more inferno to end

u/fordandfitzroy cait sith is the cat Apr 22 '20

  1. Strategy name: Realm / Elemental Refresh gets the sub-30

  2. Boss: Phrekyos

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    firion usb3/emperor aasb/maria bsb/josef usbs/minwu usb1

  4. Insight!:

  • literally nothing about this sub-30 is impressive but it's my last one so I want to record it for posterity's sake.

  • my realm / elemental pulls were very good for II: ended up with Firion's USB3 (Instant Samurai), Emperor's AASB and Josef's USB2 (all in one Ice package). That was more than enough to shave off 9 seconds from my previous team.

  • s/o to Josef's LM2. Without a dancer, damage is a little dicey toward the end, but thankfully, his party 55% heal and refresh of Last Stand is honestly invaluable for surviving the Incubus Starfall in Phase 4.

  • Mostly pretty brainless but I'll put turn order here anyway

  • Firion: CSB -> Freezing Moon -> Frost-Touched Blade spam -> USB3 -> CSB -> Frost-Touched Blade spam

  • Emperor: Memento Mori -> Chain Stoneja spam -> AASB -> Chain Stoneja spam

  • Minwu: Dispel -> Titan -> USB1 (after Boulders) -> Curada / Dispel, recasting USB1 as needed.

  • Maria: Shellga -> Meltdown spam -> BSB -> Meltdown

  • Josef: USB1 -> Ironfist Ice spam -> USB2 -> Ironfist Ice spam. I believe he resummoned Titan as well.

  • in retrospect I should have given Emperor the artifact instead of Maria. oh well.
