Legion - info and strategies

[Diomer]

Here's a drop from the Mantis that I don't think people discovered yet:

Fell a bit short of a full clear so no info on that; might give it another go tomorrow though and full clear it this time.

[Khiinroye]

We just got forboding feet off of the mantis and wave 3 Khim (wave 2 version). Wave 3 for us was Mantis, Khimaira (wave 1 version) and Khimaira (wave 2 version). We managed to clear it, and got a 4th wave of Mantis, Hydra (wave 1 version), and Orthus (wave 2 version).

I'd assume that wave 3 just repeats indefinitely, and is the Boss, a random wave 1 enemy, and a random wave 2 enem.,

Edit: it looks like the pic above is wave 1 hydra and wave 1 khimaira, so I dunno. It might be 2 random enemies from wave 1 or 2.

We did the 18 man version. The hp nerf is very noticeable.

Did you not get the key item posted on wiki from clearing wave 3: "Victory Medal: Earth" I think it was? If it doesn't come from clearing wave 3, where the hell does it come from...

[Khiinroye]

The medal is from trading the trophy from wave 1 to the npc outside to gain access to Mul. (confirmed by our trophy person)

We just cleared wave 1 of Mul. Lenitive feet dropped off the harpy, so abjurations don't seem to be chamber specific. 2nd wave is Paramount Harpy / Ironclad / Naraka / Mantis. We didn't have another PD ready, so when the Ironclad opened with Mighty strikes, that was it for the dds. The ironclad seems to spam MS. The Mantis used Meikyo Shisui. I'm not sure what 2hrs the harpy and naraka used, if any.

Legion Medal: Ki is from trading the trophy; otherwiki lists another KI from there that's called Victory Medal: Earth and each chamber has a similarly named Victory Medal. I have no idea where they could possibly come from now though unless that's just otherwiki posting shitty information.

What was your setup if I may ask? You mentioned PD so presumably you did all four mobs in the first wave with PDs? Do you bring like 3+ SMNs?

[Radec]

Only 1 SMN, for ironclad. Others really not so bad, stun deathprophet from mantis. 4/6 times it did a preying posture warmup to death, 2 times following some other weaponskill. Small sample, but posture was always followed by death, but death not always after a posture.

4Melee 2PLD 3WHM 1SMN 2BRD 1COR 2BLM 1RNG 1RDM 1SCH

Embrava melee > Lock to recast later
PDef, attack Giant
PLD+WHM on Harpy
PLD+RDM on Hahava
BLM kites mantis (have erase for grav/bind, so either lightarts /sch or /whm. Poison fruit/sublimation wouldn't hurt since it can sleepga)
Giant > Harpy > Mantis(Both stuns now available) > Hahava

1 BLM enough stuns to catch most deathprophets, especially embrava/hasted, would replace the 2nd with another SMN for wave 2.

Wave2 mantis has the Gaunab model, but still uses deathprophet, in addition to immolating claw. Didn't notice if it did preying posture warmup.

HP nerf is definitely noticable, 1 PDef on melee with all JA's up will kill almost anything without a fuckyou move cleanly - Stripga, charms, phys shields, etc can ruin your day.

Void Scythe drop off Mired Mantis.

Mired Orthrus in Hall of Ki drops Induro Cuisses. Didn't remember to take a screenshot of the drop, but it does.

[Mahoro]

Someone on FFXIAH.com posted that Maniacus Sash drops off Soaring Naraka in the final chamber. Not sure if accurate, but hopefully it is as that is a piece many nukers will want and it would be a first-wave item.

It is; I'll post picture in a few; we also got Antias Mitts off of Wave 2 Dvergr I believe from the same chamber.

Spoilered for huge

Geez how are you guys getting so far. After another failed run yesterday, I am running out of hope for this event....

Chuparrosa Mantle drops off Veiled Gigaworm (Muru).

[ronin sparthos]

Probably asked before but is the lowered HP that significant? How much Embrava/Perfect Defense abuse is being used by successful groups?

I'm going to guess the "ramuh takes 55 points of dmg" x5 spam in that SS has alot to do with it lol.

[Mahoro]

Yeah, it's really just minor variations on this strat for a couple of the chambers

[Tachi]

Embrava/PD strat works on all halls but Muru is slightly more challenging. Veiled Amphiptere / Sanguiptere have Reaving Wind which can possibly ruin PD, Chainspell Stun is one of the only ways to get rid of the Veiled Sandworm / Gigaworm quickly (this one can sometimes absorb both physical and magical damage and does Gorge/Dischorge), the Light Alicorn has a high evasion even with one SV Madrigal, heal itself very often and Scintillant Lance can OHKO easily.
Dream Shroud help a lot to kill the two Dvergr without PD in Im (Cackle MDB down = no effect).

[Skylark]

Went early this morning with a JP group, did the behemoth, adam, and wyrm. They took 2 SCH 2 PLD, couple WHM, a BLM, and a bunch of DD. Kept embrava up the full 30 minutes and seemed to lose a couple people on the wyrm. Which was probably because they killed adam. before so it dispelled all buffs. Wiped as soon as second wave popped, good idea in theory.

[TSFFXI]

Wasn't there a post in the Nyzul thread saying Embrava couldn't be dispelled? Or do you just mean the loss of the other buffs led to them wiping?
