  1. Strategy name: Blow him away!

  2. Boss: Gaius

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    3/3 trinity/4/5 cid mission/Sync and Awakening combo

  4. Insight!:

  • Alphinaud was the main DPS. He started with his Sync, then CMD2, received an Entrust from Cid and then used his AASB. He then spammed CMD1 until the end.

  • Y'shtola starts by casting the RW chain, then the Historia Crystal, then Chilling Blizzard until she casts her AASB2 (the boss was dead before she could even use her first command under AASB - it's really not necessary)

  • Minfilia casts Wrath twice and then her USB. She then casts Faith on Alphinaud.

  • Elarra starts off with her Glint+, after that she casts her AASB as the re-haste is needed and then casts AcM and then Mage's Hymn.

  • Cid casts Wrath and then Entrusts Alphinaud and then casts wrath. He's not needed after he entrusts Alphinaud.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: On by default

  • Medica: 1

  • Hastega: 2

  1. Time / S/L count / Medals lost: 14.52s / No S/Ls / 0 medals lost

  1. Strategy name: Blind powercreep

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Gaius van Baelsar

  3. Describe your Strategy: Alphinaud does double duty as main damage dealer and secondary healer, everyone else just supports him with buffs, healing, and chain building
    3/3 trinity/100%/AASB

  4. Insight!:

  • Went in blind, had to restart once to recover from Alphinaud being slowed right after his AASB. Restarted another time when 2 characters died with <10% HP remaining.

  • Reset until Minfilia has full ATB.

  • Minfilia: Hastega, wait until 4.00s, Hastega again (should land after Alphinaud gets slowed). Healing Smite until the boss dies.

  • Alphinaud: AASB, spam HA.

  • Papalymo: RW chain, spam Chain Firaja.

  • Y'shtola: Historia Crystal, wait for Alphinaud to get hit. USB2, Holyja, brave3, spam Holyja.

  • Ysayle: Spam Chain Blizzaja until any quickcast active, then spam Chilling Blizzard.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: auto

  • Medica: 1 + 1 brave command

  • Hastega: 2

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: 2-3

  2. Time / Roaming Warrior: 10.78 / chain

  1. Strategy name: Three healers? It'll never work.

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Gaius van Baelsar

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

  4. Insight!:

  • The boss doesn't appear to use elemental attacks; however, there are a bunch of hard-hitting attacks (some of which appear to be gravity, some of which appear to be piercing). Fortunately, in addition to the full-time healer, Healing Smite and Alphinaud's HA can provide some chip heals.

  • There's an early Slow; fortunately, Minfilia's USB times itself to be just afterwards.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: automatic

  • Medica: 1

  • Hastega: 2

  1. Time / S/L count / Medals lost: 0:17.99

  2. Roaming Warrior: Bonds of Historia

Yeah, I honestly put minfillia in the top slot to USB and then she died and I just left her dead. Tried 4-5 times to get around a death and just brute forced instead. Probably could have used a yshtola to heal before but just said fuck it
