Ultimate + Apocalypse Battles
Imperial Shadow ++
凶Imperial Shadow
HP: 337,500
Target Score:
- Defeat the Imperial Shadow with at least 3 characters not KO'ed.
Weak: None
Absorbs: None
Resists: None
Null: Ice, Poison
Vulnerabilities: None
Notes: You have magical piercing and regular physical hits to worry about here. Wall or Protect is enough to handle the physical threats, so focus on debuffing magic.
Imperial Shadow prefers lightning element damage, as well as Sap and Instant KO. The plus side of his ~25% accuracy instant death ability is that it can be Runic'ed. Break out those Celes SSB RW's.
If you're bringing said Runic, you can focus on lightning resist accessories. It is also an option to bring a Raise spell and focus on the accessory mitigation because the piercing magic attacks are AoE and he uses them regularly.
Acolyte Archive: Luckily this is a straightforward fight. 2x DD, support, healer, and whatever else you want should suffice just fine.
Remember that Firion carries an ancient as hell instant party Magic Blink is his BSB.
King Behemoth (Apoc +)
滅King Behemoth
HP: 500,000
Target Score:
- Defeat King Behemoth with 2 or more heroes not KO'ed.
Weak: None
Absorbs: None
Resist: None
Null: None
Vulnerabilities: None
Notes: Entirely a physical fight. You can also ignore the Haste, but do have to content with Stun.
A very boring physical only fight. Tank and spank is really the only way to approach this. You can carry Stun resist if you want at the cost of that 30-45 atk. It shouldn't matter much.
Green Dragons (Apoc ++)
滅Green Dragon x2
HP: 300,000 each
Target Score:
- Defeat both bosses with 2 or more heroes not KO'ed.
Weak: Ice
Absorbs: None
Resist: None
Null: Poison
Vulnerabilities: None
Notes: Mixed damage from both dragons, but it is the magic stuff you'll want to focus on. With 2 targets that piercing magic damage can add up quick. Element resist of choice is poison.
Additionally, aside from the ST Stun potential, being afflicted with Poison will cause you to lose 2.5x as much HP as usual - so Ultra cure may be better overall than Curada.
No special kill mechanics either, though the dragons will use more dangerous attacks as their HP goes down. Focus fire them out one at a time to make it easier.
Acolyte Archive:
Could potentially be a difficult fight as FFII synergy isn't exactly abundant. You'll definitely want a medica of some sort to deal with the AoE attacks. On top of that, Scott and Maria can both help Firion with ice element damage - just not from a perspective of it being their preferred element.
Like the previous CM, don't neglect some SSB's you may have in your vault collecting dust from this realm. HotE is still a good physical buff, Firion has a great BSB entry effect, and even Maria can get a 20% magic boost from her old SSB if you're running a mixed party.
