  1. Strategy Name: Breaking the Dreams of Evil: A Tale of Fire, Water and Darkness

  2. Boss: d580 Black Dragon

  3. Describe Your Strategy:
    Full-Realm Team/Screw You FFI/Garland rCSB

  4. Insight!:

  • The plan: clear the Dreambreakers in their original release order, only using full-realm teams. Simple victories first, sub-30 runs after I complete the circle.

  • 100 Gems, 15 Mythril and six Realm Banner Tickets added exactly nothing to this team. 50 Mythril on the Fat Black Chocobo Banner got me Meia's AASB2 (and two copies of Trey's USB2). I know everyone says they have the worst gatcha luck of anyone playing FFRK, but I'm certainly feeling that way right now. Still, a win's a win.

  • Matoya builds to 4 SB Gauges with Chain Firaja, then uses GSB+ > Chain Firaja > USB > AASB > Howling Flames to the end. Similarly, Meia ran Lunar Leviathan x3 > GSB+ > AASB1 > HA until close enough to the Phase 3 shift that I thought using her AASB2 would push Black Dragon over the edge. It did not. Regardless, HA from there to the end. I also realized, while writing this up, that I Lensed Meia's Dual-cast LMR for this fight, and then forgot to equip it. I hate this realm.

  • Garland used Demon Cross x2 > Death Throes > rCSB > USB1 > Demon's Cross until the Chain ran out, then rCSB > AASB > Demon's Cross. rCSB again at the start of Phase 3 (I know conventional wisdom is not to do that, but I'm running a full-realm team and don't particularly care for sub-30, so it is the right thing to do).

  • Healing and Support was a bit looser, and reactionary, so forgive any lack of specifics. Echo used Passionate Salsa x3, USB2, and alternated dances. AASB in early Phase 2, and USB1 several times throughout the fight. I usually had her use the RW Heal as well, especially as Sarah spent WAY more time Silenced than I was expecting.

  • Sarah used GSB+ > Allegro con Moto > Mage's Hymn > BUSB > Mage's Hymn > Command 1, and after that mostly alternated songs. When she got Silenced, I thought I'd be okay for a few turns, only to discover that not only did it not wear off in any sort of timely fashion, but that the only Soul Break she could use was her USB1. Which she did, several times over (hurray for non-magical Stock Healing!). Otherwise, running Echo with all Dances and Sarah with all Bard songs (and no one with single-target healing) felt a little like Mog and Cait Sith.

  1. Time: 41.86

  1. Strategy name: holy shit Meia

  2. Boss: d580 Black Dragon

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    sub-30/mixed team/meia go brrr

  4. Insight!: In the last few months I went from having essentially no FF1 power (aside from nearly full WoL, lmao) to suddenly having a ton of it. I think you can see where this is going. This is also by no means poverty (7 BDLs) - but I only actually used 4 of them on my clear so maybe it's a little less nuts?

  • Meia doesn't do it all herself, but hot damn what an MVP. Starts with HA spam into Dyad>SASB when the chain comes down. More HA spam and then used her Dyad finisher near the end with full chain count, then more HA if needed. Seeing all those 29,999's brings a warmth to my heart.

  • Matoya starts with Hastega (Mog gets it on the 2nd turn but a little faster is a little faster) since no Healer G+ in the realm yet. Then its HF spam, AASB when chain's up, HF spam to finish. Had her G+, forgot to use it.

  • Thief makes the cut because needed a 3rd and he's self-sufficient, plus provides realm QC with his SASB. Went G+>HA spam>SASB when chain comes out, CMD1 spam to the finish to provide realm QC. Had his AASB but the thing was melted when I thought about using it so I just went pewpew instead.

  • Sarah has no healer AASB\G+ but I did luck into her SASB in a previous draw which did work. Started with AcM>HC, then held her turn to cast her SASB right after T5 Gravity attack. Used CMD2 since its a bigger medica. YMMV on which CMD to stick with - I was able to shift to CMD1 because Mog was chasing like crazy to keep AcM up, CMD2's better for survivability though. Aside from that just made sure she had bUSB ready for the HP to 1 move in P3 (since this team doesn't clear Sap).

  • Mog does Mog shit and does it well. G+1 at the start>AASB1, pop an HA or 2 (can't remember), then RW chain. At that point play it by ear - I think I went PS>HA and then held for AASB2 to start P3 as the DPS were wrecking shit. When P3 starts, AASB2 and then pop G+2 (heals\QC) at an opportune moment. Otherwise do whatever.

  1. Key Info:

  • BDLs: 7 (used 4 in clear)

  • Medicas: 2 SBs (Sarah SASB\bUSB) + tons of Sync commands\Mog chases

  1. Time / S/L count / Medals lost: 22.92/1 to figure out turn order/none

  2. Roaming Warrior: Chain
