I was going to go with:
Tifa lv5X - Crystal Glove, Crystal Bangle, Champion Belt: Tempo Flurry R4, Armor Break R5
Barret lv5X - Danjuro, Crystal Bangle+, Fury Ring: Venom Buster R3, Magic Breakdown R3
Cloud lv6X - Mythril Saber++, Crystal Bangle, Hyper Wrist VIII: Launch R5, Power Break R4
Aerith Lv5X - Light Staff, Circlet, Pearl Necklace: Curaga R5, Protectra R1
Vivi Lv65 - Bind Rod, Shinra Helmet, Amulet: Thundaja R3, Waterja R3
RW: Boon
He can't be slowed, so you may be better off with Pound or Mental Break in that Tempo Flurry slot.
5 hours until unlucky Draw and the last orb session, exactly 100 stamina missing from my bar.
Snow is 80k from 65 and being done, so outside of burning Hope and Vanille to at least 50 everything from here out is gravy for me. Pld Cecil, Tidus and probably Luneth are on deck.
I beat the 110 at last. I learned that Planet Protector is severely under rated. Destroyed it with Rw Boon and my own Aerith with PP. it helps when you don't have really high hones I guess but it makes me do almost 2x dmg
I hate typing from a phone
Planet protector is really nice. It makes melee parties competitive with mages from what I've seen so far.
I farmed up Cloud's RM3 before DEATH and put that on Aerith for PP at the start and used boon as my RW. I took a party of Cloud, Zack, Barrett, Aerith and Luneth with realm synergy gear. The fight went real fast once PP was up. You can easily sub out Luneth for any decent melee too.
I got sick of waiting for Cloud to get his RM3, so I just went ahead with Boon as my RW.

If I had Cloud's RM3 I would've swapped out Vaan for my Boon-y Sazh and used SSII or SG for RW, but that would've been overkill. With Magic and Power Breakdown on and shell/protectga up, the damage was really weak. Planet Protector would've been a better choice. As it was, using Boon was just fine.
Should've used Aerith as my WHM, but was about to enter when I realized I could swap (for synergy's sake) - figured it wasn't worth the effort and it wasn't. Could've used Zack instead of Vaan as well with that 4+ Katana and put magic breakdown on Barrett and armor break on Zack (along with Venom Buster) and that would've probably been better too, but again it didn't matter.
All done with EX+++, time to charge up for next phase >.>
Should I be honing the elemental summons?
Man, this is a master document/strategy guide: http://happypluto.com/~misterp/r/ffrk.pdf
If you want to know definitively what stacks with what, check page 15.
I swear I saw the word happy in the link and thought it was a MrHappy production.
One of those is damage, the other is damage with a debuff. It makes sense for them to be in different categories. Breakdowns are just stronger versions of breaks. It would be like if firaga was blackmage but firaja was dragoon or some random shit for the sake of "diversity".
