    Bonus Battles

    Note: Since this is a Collab, it only has Ultimate and Ultimate+ for Bonus Battles

    Braska's Final Aeon (Ultimate)
    Braska's Final Aeon
    HP: ~260000
    Target Score:
    • Reduce BFA's ATK.
    • Reduce BFA's DEF.
    • Exploit BFA's weakness to holy attacks.

    Weak: Holy
    Absorbs: None
    Vulnerabilities: Stun Abilities

    Abilities

    ► Normal

    Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.
    Jecht Beam: Deal heavy non-elemental magic damage to one target.
    Cleave: Deal moderate physical damage and Slow all targets.
    Jecht Finger: Deal special physical damage two times to one target (ignores DEF).

    ► Weak

    Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.
    Jecht Beam: Deal heavy non-elemental magic damage to one target.
    Jecht Bomber: Deal special physical damage to all targets (ignores DEF)
    Ultimate Jecht Shot: Deal special ranged physical damage to all targets (ignores DEF)

    Commentary
    • In the Normal phase, when BFA decides to use Jecht Finger, he will not act on the current turn. Instead, a message will show up saying that his “OVERDRIVE gauge is filled(?)”. BFA will then use Jecht Finger on the next turn as an interrupt.
    • The same goes for Ultimate Jecht Shot in BFA’s Weak phase.

    Other than Protectga + Power Breakdown, make use of as much holy attacks as you can. Grab a Pecil BSB as RW and watch his HP melt!

    Recommended abilities: Protectga, Power Breakdown, Saint Cross, Banishing Strike, Diaga
    Recommended RW: Scream, Paladin Force


    Total medals = 18, meaning you can only afford to lose 3 medals to get Mastery.

    Warrior and Magician (U+)
    Garland & Golbez
    HP: ~160000 each
    Target Score:
    • Reduce Garland's ATK.

    Weak: Fire or Lightning or Water (Depending on his respective form) (Golbez), Holy (Both)
    Absorbs: None
    Resists: None
    Null: None
    Vulnerabilities: Stun Abilities

    Abilities

    ► Garland (Normal)

    Attack: Deal physical damage to one target.

    Death Claw: Deal heavy physical damage to one target.

    ► Garland (Weak)

    Round Edge: Deal moderate physical damage to all targets.
    Death Claw: Deal heavy physical damage to one target.
    Flame: Deal random magic fire damage 4 times to one target.
    Earthquake: Deal very heavy magic earth damage to all targets.

    Binding Cold: Paralyze all targets.
    Dispel: Dispel a white magic buff from one target.
    Snowstorm (Counter): Deal heavy magic ice damage to one target. (trigger: lightning attacks)

    Commentary

    Other than Protectga & Shellga to reduce damage taken, take a Pecil RW and watch their HP melt.

    Do take note though, both Golbez’s and Garland’s magic hurt a lot.

    If you had to kill one of them first, I would recommend Golbez as his magic hurt the most (though you can actually Reflect some of his magic back). While Garland does have magic attacks, he mostly does physical attacks so you should be fine with things like Protectga, Draw Fire, Power Breakdown, etc.

    Recommended abilities: Protectga, Shellga, Banishing Strike, Saint Cross, Break Fever, Draw Fire, Magic Lure
    Recommended RW: Scream, Paladin Force

    Yeah I know lol, this is why I was against creating tons of threads all at once for future events, cause they'll get pushed off and people will wonder where they are, I only did it this time since we'll have alot of stuff coming at once.

    Considering the Dissidia collab comes in 2 parts I'd say we'll have one start before Orbfest and another probably during it.

    i want to pull just for a shot at that delicious HQ staff nostalgia since it's unlikely we'll get another shot at it in the foreseeable future, but it's tough to justify. that and bartz' are the only real prizes here for me. already have cloud/tidus BSB, WoL will almost never see use, and y'shtola's medica doesn't particularly excite me.
