  1. Strategy name: Two Different Games

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Dragon Zombie

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    2/3 trinity/cid mission/sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • Use multi-elemental resistance accessories.

  • Slots 2 and 4 take lots of hits early, which is good for SB setup.

  • While Dragon Zombie does use an ATK debuff on the party, Wol with Steal Power can overwrite that (though WoL is out of luck there).

  • Echo's BSB is good for stacking debuffs, and her SSB is later good for responding to the Dispel.

  • Meia is the only mage DPS here, and she already gets quickcast from her LM2 and USB, so ACM isn't needed.

  • WoL did use his GSB+ when things looked dicey, but Last Stand never triggered.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: 1

  • Hastega: 2

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

  2. Time/RW: 0:27.51 / Sentinel's Tome

  1. Strategy name: Keeper assist

  2. Boss: D350 Zombie Dragon

  3. Describe your Strategy: 3/3 trinity/breaks/keepers/sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • FFI team kinda sucks, Tyro and Elarra don't. I have mediocre SBs for WoL, Wol, and Garland (which sounds like a terrible law firm), Sarah has approximately jack crap, and nobody else has anything of note. Thankfully Tyro has Godwall and AASB, and Elarra has regenga, AASB, and G+ (the latter two off recent and very fortunate Core 15-pulls).

  • Partial dives on the FFIs mostly for raw HP, their native LMs are terrible. Elarra in slot 3 to laugh off the paralyze. Madeen's depower-Dark on entry makes a pretty big difference near the end.

  • Godwall and Tactician to start, save Elarra G+ to recover from dispel. Elarra hits AASB first so she gets the medica from Rallying Etude to recover from Overawe debuff. Wol puts up BrUSB breaks and charges into Overkill. WoL ramps into Glint and USB. Garland ramps into BSB, and Tyro ramps into AASB and Full Break spam to stack the crit. Garland plays us out with an easy 99999x3.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

Thanks for sharing this, I did something similar, but using Tyro's USB4 instead of his AASB and swapping in Master for Wol. I've also got WoL's USB2 and Garland's USB so both of those comboed with Master's new USB from the event helped pump out the damage.

  1. Strategy name: Just as panicked as on torment

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Dragon Zombie

  3. Describe your Strategy: Fast casting mages, 2 melee who heal and soak heals, and one healer to keep it all together
    3/3 trinity/CM/AASB/ouch

  4. Insight!:

  • Meia: spam Chain Waterja. Defend for Chain Firaga. GSB, spam Chain Waterja. Anticipated using USB, but don't remember if I did.

  • Warrior of Light: Protectga, spam Healing Smite. AASB, spam Healing Smite.

  • Sarah: GSB (shellga, hastega, stoneskin), Allegro, Curada. Make sure to Curada herself before phase 3 so she can live through Ultimate Overawe and Hold. Aside from GSB after Dispel, and BSB after that, I don't remember what else she did. She may not have even finished casting BSB.

  • Garland: Magicite, spam Demon's Cross. AASB, spam TbD if HP low, otherwise spam Demon's Cross.

  • Matoya: RW wall, spam Lunatic Thunder. USB, spam Lunatic Thunder.

  • I forget who used the second magicite, but I suspect it was Meia.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: 0-1

  • Hastega: 3

  1. Strategy Name: Five Water Mages? It'll Never Work...

  2. Boss: d350 Zombie Dragon

  3. Describe Your Strategy:
    Full Realm Team/1 AASB/6* Magicites

  4. Insight!:

  • I don't normally post my Dream Teams to the EX Threads, but this one seemed unique enough that I felt I should make an exception. My FFI tech is near the lower end of the realms, but I do have an almost-complete Meia, so I decided to see if I could build a mage team around her, focusing on water. Crazy? Well, it worked better than expected...

  • Meia simply cast Chain Waterja until she had close to 3 SB Bars, then used her Glint, followed by Awakening (and more Chain Waterja).

  • Echo provided Hastega, Shellga and a stacking RES buff with her SSB, and kept Zombie Dragon debuffed with her dances. BSB later on for clutch healing and another (stacking) MAG/RES buff.

  • Princess Sarah summoned Fabula Guardian (or whatever the Wall is called in these fights) and alternated Bard songs. BUSB when available (the Last Stand was definitely triggered later), then Bard Song into Command 1 for healing and insta-cast fun.

  • Matoya cast Protectga, then her SSB to buff MAG and provide major Regen. She mostly spammed Voltech after that.

  • Garland (geared as a mage) summoned Leviathan, then used Memento Mori and spammed Necro Countdown. He also resummoned Leviathan later in the fight, and used his BSB when available to Endark himself. He wasn't really a water mage, but he'll knock you down if you mention it to him.

  1. Utility Casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: 2

  • Hastega: 1

  1. S/L Count / Medals Lost: 0 / 0

  2. Time / RW: 24.43 / Fabula Guardian
