    FFRK - The Burning Blade (FFIV) Boss Strats

    Bonus Battles ETA: 1/10 (Sunday)
    Event Ends: 1/17

    Event Info

    Basic information below is copy/pasted from above link.

    ==== Characters Required ====

    Tower of Zot - Spire (Elite: Difficulty 60): Rosa
    Tower of Babil - Heights 1 (Elite: Difficulty 99): Edge x2

    Spirit of the late King ++ (Bonus Battle): Dark Cecil


    ==== Bonus Battles ====

    Lunar Subterrane +

    Bosses:

    1. White Dragon (~74400 HP)
    2. Dark Bahamut (~82700 HP)
    3. Ogopogo (~87000 HP)

      Dark Bahamut and Ogopogo both start off the fight with an AoE that goes off before you're able to do anything. Make sure you're healed up before the previous boss dies.


    Requirements at a glance: No KO
    Recommended abilities: Magic Breakdown, Shellga
    Recommended RW: SG/SS2, Hymn of the Fayth


    Spirit of the late King ++

    Boss: Odin (~187000 HP)

    • Defeat Odin without being KO’d.
    • Win without Dark Cecil being KO’d.
    • Exploit Odin’s weakness to lightning attacks. (only when sword is raised)

      Odin will occasionally raise his sword, preparing for Zantetsuken. He becomes weak to lightning during this time. Zantetsuken will be cast two turns after Odin has raised his sword.
      Unlike in IV, Zantetsuken is not interrupted after being hit by lightning spells.


    Recommended abilities: Slowga, Power Breakdown
    Recommended RW: Lunatic High


    Malice of the Four Fiends +++

    Boss: Geryon (~218200 HP)

    • Defeat Geryon without being KO’d.
    • Afflict Geyron with Slow.
    • Afflict Geyron with Sap

      Geyron’s magic will hurt a lot, as long as you keep it controlled with Magic Breakdown you should be fine. Boon + Slowga is a great combo, although if your physical attacks get countered then that nullifies the Haste so do take note.

      Notable Abilities:
    • Cursed Elegy: Slow all targets (trigger: physical attacks)


    Recommended abilities: Breakdowns, Shellga, Slowga, Shadowblade
    Recommended RW: Sentinel’s Grimoire, Stoneskin, Boon, White Whorl

    1) Shadowsteel (a 4* Ninja ability we will get in Edge event) [25% Sap]
    2) Sniper (a 5* FFVI throwing weapon that can give sap on hit) [Adds small chance to Sap w/ regular attack. % Unknown]
    3) Vaan's Zwill Crossblade Relic SB [50% Sap]
    4) Rikku's Buster Claw Relic SB [50% Sap]
    5) Golbez's Ebon Armor SB [50% (29% x 2 hits) Sap]
    6) Bartz's Air Knife Relic SB [50% (29% x 2 hits) Sap]
    7) Shadow's Sasuke Relic SB [50% (16% x 4 hits) Sap]
    8) Sephiroth's Yoshiyuki SSB [34% (10% x 4 hits) Sap]

    Eblan’s Revenge 【Ultimate】

    Boss: Rubicante (~262000 HP)

    • Defeat Rubicante without being KO’d.
    • Exploit Rubicante’s weakness to Ice attacks
    • Exploit Rubicante’s weakness to water attacks.

      Rubicante enters his Defensive stance after every few turns. He returns to his Normal stance either after a few turns, or by using Thief abilities on him while he is Defensive stance (e.g. Steal Power, etc). Steal Time has no effect as Rubicante is immune to Slow; Steal HP deals physical damage and is therefore subject to Rubicante’s counter.


    Recommended abilities: Breakdowns, Non-Elemental magic/summons, Steal Power, Shellga, lots of heals.
    Recommended RW: Sentinel’s Grimoire, Stoneskin, AoE heal (Hymn of the Fayth, etc)

    • Bring an AoE heal if you can, even a Shared SB AoE heal can help a lot
    • Counters to physical attacks is not 100%, seems more like 20-30%?
    • He's able to do a triple cast of Firaga which are single target and hit randomly.
    • He usually puts his cape up every 3 turns, however when he crosses the 50% HP threshold into his weak state, that counter gets reset. You can see in this video, he comes out of his defense stance at 2:47 and it takes him 4 turns to go back into defense stance. Inferno (all) > Inferno (all) > Inferno x2 > Inferno x2. It took him 5 turns to get back into defense stance on my run during that time.

    You should add the dates in the title and/or OP. Boss battles starts Sunday the 10th while event ends the 17th.

    Oh that's great then. I can use that day to push DRK Cecil to his RM3. I was worried I'd actually have to level Edge since Thancred does a way better job and with Lenna/Yuna/Yshtola I don't need Rosa.

    Isn't Edge still required to Master the last elite dungeon or is it possible if you lose no other medals you can still master it?

    Edge is required for the last of the "regular" elite dungeons, not for any of the bonus battles that come later. I didn't want to go over any of the regular ones cause they usually have some random character requirement that's not a big deal. Rosa is also needed in Tower of Zot - Spire. I'll go ahead and add them I guess. Will also add the dates.

    Woops. I just started the dungeon without Edge. Guess I'll try to master without.

    But you will need Edge or another ninja for +++ because it requires Sap. Unless of course you have a SB that does sap.

    Should be able to without him, but since events tend to give enough eggs to get a char to 42 or so, I don't see why all the resistance for non-bonus battles.

    Rosa is required for Barbarica Tower of Zot elite. Not sure if you can master without bringing her.

    If you bring both Kain and Rosa to that fight however, you get bonus dialogue.

    Same, mastered without Rosa. I did bring a Jump ability though, not sure you can afford to lose 6 medals.

    Edit: Updated OP with ways to get Sap and percentages I could find. Not sure which FFVI bow Rata is talking about.
