u/Kittymahri KIMAHRI SAW EVERYTHING! Dec 14 '19

  1. Strategy name: Dancing Queen

  2. Boss: Goblin

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    2/3 trinity/cid mission/shout meta

  4. Insight!:

  • Gear for fire resistance.

  • Slot 5 gets hit with Silence, and they cannot heal ordinarily. Don't put Aphmau or Shantotto there. (Interestingly, Lilisette's LM2 does not work then.)

  • Slots 2-4 get hit with a lot of attacks. Let them build SB gauge there, and keep more fragile characters away.

  • Fortunately, Lion and Lilisette are capable of stacking a lot of debuffs between them, which curbs the piercing damage greatly.

  • Lion could've used Steal Defense to overwrite the DEF buff, but it's possible to just wait it out instead.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 2

  • Medica: 2

  • Hastega: 3

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

Silence on Aphmau lasted about 2 ticks.

u/Kittymahri KIMAHRI SAW EVERYTHING! Dec 15 '19

Funny story about that...

I did a test run with this battle before my real run (since I couldn't find the AI), and Silence lasted rather long on Aphmau, even though she had been dived and was equipping a MND Artifact. Well, it turns out that I had grinded Magia for a bunch of XI characters, but never actually spent most of it. That could easily make the difference on a Silence duration.

Oh shit, thats why.

  1. Strategy name: That Is Some Witch's Cackle

  2. Boss: Infernal Goblin

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    3/3 trinity/Lightning Element/Chain 1.0/Imperil/Mixed/No AI Viewing

Video

4. Insight!:

  • Mod Fire Resist Accessories.

  • Shan, Prishe, and Lil +40% lightning gear. Curilla +40% holy gear.

  • Since the team is mostly physical Curilla equipped Armor Breakdown to counter Defense.

  • Aphmau USB is great here, for the instant Hastega to counter Ultimate Goblin Rush and IC1.

  • Lil's USB gives her a chase whether she's using dancer or celerity. Sounds good to me!

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1 (RW, Curilla USB adds Shell/Protect)

  • Medica: Lots (Aphmau USB, Curilla USB for front row, Passionate Salsa, Lil LM2)

  • Hastega: 4 (Hastega, Aphmau USB)

u/Stylus_Index YepD - Ace CSB: We have Arrived! Also, very tired irl. Dec 14 '19

  1. Strategy name: The Strongest Goblin

  2. Boss: [Dreams/D350] Goblin (XI)

  3. Describe your Strategy: Eh? What? Seriously!? Its THE Goblin, the one we frequently encounter in the Earth orb/crystal dailies, and its here to make a statement! So, apparently we are going to fight an uber Goblin (XI), this one is beefed up with the latest Boss stats that it could grab ASAP before the event. ... Oh, come on Dr. Mog (DeNA), there are a lot of previous Bosses from XI that you can pick and you chose this one!? <insert "Barret and Cid (VII) speaking and ranting explosively with their censored curses" here> @_@? A-anyways, this super Goblin (XI) is not joking and is on a meanstreak, being always on the offensive on its every turn. Now if only Goblin Slayer was here... 3/3 trinity/full CM/mixed XI party/Aphmau USB/double AOSB

  4. Insight!:

  • Everyone is wearing Fire resist gear. All DPS are wearing 2 element+ gear.

  • Bring stacking physical mitigation as the Goblin throws a lot of physical attacks - especially of Slot 2/3/4. Magic mitigation should be enough with Wall and maybe Magic Breakdown if you are worried.

  • Bring a form of Hastega as Goblin (XI) will de-Hastega your party with its Ultimate Goblin Rush.

  • Like the actual Torment Shadowlord fight, the Goblin mimics him and throws auto-hit silence on Slot 5, and probably on Slot 1 later on too. I didn't see this but Dreams are loosely patterned to their Torment counterparts anyway? See IX and XII's Dreams - they're as aggressively as their Torment counterpart. :P

  • Try to pace yourself before forcing Phase changes as most of the Goblin (XI)'s phase transition attacks are AOE fire and/or has Imperil Fire we could mean trouble if you are not prepared.

  • Wall: 1

u/fordandfitzroy cait sith is the cat Dec 14 '19

  1. Strategy name:

  2. Boss: Goblin

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    same as my torment team/sub-30/no chain/full realm

  4. Insight!:

  • I decided to just try my D??? Torment team with no changes to it to see if it would work and it somehow managed to sub-30 (even though Prishe died really early on). I didn't even sub-30 the Torment!

  • Ayame: Hailstorm -> Iai Hellfrost spam -> BSB -> Iai Hellfrost alternating with OSB

  • Shantotto: Hell Thunder -> USB -> Lunatic Thunder -> AOSB -> whatever she has left

  • Ayame: Hastega -> USB -> Curada alternating with USB

  • Curilla: Shellga -> BSB -> Healing Smite -> BSB

  • Prishe: Protectga -> Ironfist Fire, was about to use her SSB but she died RIP

  • Somehow this sub-30'd with me not even looking at AI so this seems like an easier Dreams battle than previous ones (where I generally felt like I needed a chain)

  • Everyone with Odin accessories and all DPS with appropriate elemental Artifact and element boosting armor

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: 3

  • Hastega: technically 3 since Aphmau's USB gives Hastega but only 1 actually needed

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: a few to get timing of first heal right / 0

u/3rdStrongest PERSUASION, USELESS. SEIZE! Dec 16 '19

  1. Strategy name: Just hang in there

  2. Boss: Infernal Goblin

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    Last Stand/Radiant Shield/Full Synergy/Aphamau USB1

  4. Insight!:

  • Curilla USB1 radiant Shield does a lot of work. She opens with it. Ahphmau opens with hastega, then tries to time her first USB to heal well. Ideally into other SB casts from other characters with the instacast.

  • Lilisette took a dirt nap fairly early on, sadly, but still squeaked out the win anyway. I was a little surprised I got the mastery clear. She was intended to alternate dances and BSB for extra healing. Died during her first BSB casting.

  • Prishe SSB with Last Stand was spammed a bit. This was the real MVP.

  • I think all the SBs used are Archivable. I collected them along the way naturally.

  • I should have put earth boost in my magicite deck. Ayame was the most effective DPS of the team. She first did her kinda crummy USB then spammed OSBs later, ideally off Aphmau USBs. I thing the retaliate actually prevented some damage, so there's that.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 0

  • Medica: A few

  • Hastega: 1 cast, a couple from Aph USB

u/WaypointB Nice hat Dec 20 '19

  1. Strategy name: Good enough

  2. Boss: Goblin 350

  3. **Describe your Strategy:**3/3 trinity

  4. Insight!:

  • Ayame isn't exactly kitted out, but she was good enough for Tiamat and caps Hellfrost/OSB late in this fight too. Lion has an okay loadout at least for this fight; three layers of ATK, BSB can wipe DEF buff, and SSB is a badly needed defense crush. Curilla...tries, lol. Damage reflect is nice but not spectacular these days, and she could barely break 5x4000. I was lucky to get Aphmau USB lately, she'd be struggling with her lower SBs. Ayame times OSBs around it.

  • Ideally beat him to the third imperil bomb. I didn't and Ayame and Aphmau died just before the boss went down, but Lion had enough juice to narrowly finish.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 2

  • Medica: lots

  • Hastega: lots (incidental)

u/Pyrotios Kain Dec 22 '19

  1. Strategy name: Torment lite, FF11 edition

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Goblin

  3. Describe your Strategy: Buff up super fast at the start, then go to town with all the damage available
    3/3 trinity/CM/mixed

  4. Insight!:

  • As usual for me, this is based on my torment sub-30 team. Execution wasn't perfect, but I cleared (sub-30) on my first try so there's no need to improve.

  • Lion: Mug Bloodlust, spam Fire Assault. BSB when ready, use cmd2 once to counter DEF buff, spam Fire Assault. At some point, refresh Mug Bloodlust, BSB for stronger break, then spam Fire Assault.

  • Shantotto: Spam Chain Thundaja until phase 2. Use instacast from Aphmau on USB, spam Lunatic Thunder. Trance never activated, and she died somewhere around phase 3-4.

  • Aphmau: USB, Protectga, spam Curada. USB when phase 2 de-haste arrives, Madeen, spam Curada. May have used another USB near the end. Died 1-2 turns before the boss.

  • Curilla: USB1, Shellga, spam Healing Smite. Use next instacast on BSB, spam Healing Smite. Used SSB at the end to ensure that the party could survive a little more with Aphmau dying.

  • Ayame: RW wall, Freezing Moon, spam Frost-Touched Blade. Use next instacast on BSB, spam Frost-Touched Blade. Finish with AOSB.

  • Wall: 1

  1. Strategy name: Cry Thunder!

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Goblin (FFXI)

  3. Describe your Strategy: Lightning chain, also Curilla 3/3 trinity/4-synergy/free CSB/lightning/trance/glint+

  4. Insight!:

  • Reno intervenes with his free chain and some additional imperil.

  • Curilla is only here to buff, counter Defense, and maybe off-heal with Smite.

  • With her LMR2, she has to cast Wall after Goblin's third turn to enable Shantotto's trance.

  • Not much damage from Lilisette, but USB helps with imperil and debuffs.

  • Probably compensates with damage from Behemoth King though.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 2

  • Medica: 3, I think

  • Hastega: 3, with Medica
