FFRK - Defying Fate (FFX) Boss Strats

[Aerin]

==== My Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Setup:



Went with the team posted above except put Mako Might on Tyro instead of Yuna.

Dunno about others, but I tried to get my abilities to below 6 uses by the time she starts using Osmose so it only takes 1 away instead of 2. I didn't do that for Curaga.


==== Robertfb's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Yes! Went 1/1 on Yunalesca Ultimate! Got clutch midway when I realized Yuna didn't have mystery veil on for aoe cure when I needed it badly lol, thankfully she holy'd my high hp chars. Here is my setup: Used PP for RW and had natural SG and black materia.

==== Starby's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Mastered Yunalesca on my third try. First try she opened with Counter Silence on Lulu so I restarted, second time she used Osmose 5(6?) times in a row and with my mage team I just didn't have enough juice. Third try I ended with full hp and only ran out of abilities on Yuna.

Y'shtola: Curaga/Power Breakdown(This was useless) RM: Mako Might for SS2
Yuna: Shiva/Valefor RM: Devotion
Rinoa: Thundaja/Waterja: Rm: Witch's Sucession
Red XIII: Full Break/Mental Breakdown RM: Dr. Mog for LH
Lulu: Blizzaja/Firaja RM: Vow of Vengeance
RW: Oerba's Boon(AoE cure + Protect)

Relevent stats:
Y'shtola: 282MND
Yuna: 407MAG
Rinoa: 339MAG
Red: 340ATK
LuLu: 446MAG

Lulu was hitting damage cap without any breaks applied. Rinoa was hitting for 7k w/o breaks, 9k with. Yuna with Shiva was doing 7k-9k depending on breaks, Valefor was always damage capped. Red was good for 4k per round, melee swings for 1500. I have Yuna's Cure staff, Lulu's doll(Firaga Fury hit for 18k), and the Thief Blade from the recent banner for synergy. If you have dps soul breaks, I suggest stock piling them until the end when Osmose runs you dry so you don't have to melee.

Lost 2 medals for damage taken, and one for actions. I really don't know how I would have gotten more medals but w/e, still mastered.

==== Kirin's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Fracking finally.

On my first run I was wondering why Terra was only doing 3k Firajas...then I realized it was Firaga. Bye 60 Stamina. Shifted Mog Teaching off of Selphie and onto Red for Magic Boost off the bat after Full Break/BD's. Worked better as Selphie was generally ready to Trabia's Light right as I needed it. Gave her Healing Boost instead and it pumped the healing to ~2100. Ive heard Squall's RM3 (Damage = SB Gauge Boost) worked pretty well on either the healer or SG/SS user. Boon was my RW.

Pics spoilers for huge. As you can see my 5 synergy is minimal at best. Really just need a run with either no or a well timed Dispel (near halfway) or good target choice when he starts going apeshit. Lost my salt when Exdeath threw out a dispel and then proceeded to focus fire on Selphie at 10% on the run before the win.

Dropped a Major Dark Orb for my trouble. Imokwiththis.

==== kuronosan's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Mastered. Took four tries because of Osmose spam and buff wearing. Squall + PP + SSB was MVP here, doling out 40k at once.

==== Eanae's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Got it.

RW was Focus.

==== Tyrath's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Finally mastered Yunalesca

My setup:

Spoiler: show

RW was Kuro's Blasting Zone.

Kuro your Realm Synergy Squall made the difference in my fight. The extra 8k per Blasting Zone compared to other Squalls really helped. Thanks!

==== Rata's Yunalesca-U Strat ====

Spoiler: show

Boon RW

[Aerin]

==== Rata's +/++/+++ Strats ====

Here's my setup

+

Spoiler: show

Simple for boss 1 + 2 paralyze then Thunder them to death, boss 3 kill negator then rekt boss

RW SGII

++

Spoiler: show

I put SG and Lunatic as soon as possible, then I started hitting Cindy ( the fat one)
Tyro kept Mindy (the bee) magic breakdown while Rikku kept Sandy (the middle one) tried to poison her
Make sure the fat one dies first or else she can raise the others

LH RW

+++

Spoiler: show

[IMG][/IMG]

Simple, Carby then Berserk and just rekt it. I gave Yuna Flash of Light RW so I could hope to get her attack first to put carby up ASAP

LH RW

[Ratatapa]

Here is my Yunalesca setup if you wanna add it



Boon RW

[Mertron]

done with new event, going back to this but waiting on stamina. suggestions?

Spoiler: show

i should probably get protectga up early though even with dispel

[Ratatapa]

You don't have a wall? she will hurt alot

[Aerin]

Armor Break/Breakdown will overwrite each other, you might want to bring something else besides Armor Break (keep Breakdown) if you have something honed. Magic break wouldn't be a bad replacement.

[Ratatapa]

She only has Mind Blast that is Magic, so power breakdown is more useful

[Mertron]

doesn't magic break not affect holy? Also I had the extra armor break for when armor breakdown charges wear off

and no, I have no natural wall and was thinking of trying a heavy damage strat. first attempt I had no wall but the damage was manageable

anyway I'll give this a go when I have stamina and see what changes I need to make

edit: just to be safe I'll probably replace squall with someone who can power breakdown.

[Aerin]

She only has Mind Blast that is Magic, so power breakdown is more useful

He only has 1 character that can use Breakdowns, his Squall is already using Power Break

[Ratatapa]

I'm a defensive guy, so he can rep Armor breakdown with Power Breakdown and Squall's power break with something like drain strike or w/e

[Mertron]

made a couple changes (vaan instead of squall for pbd, cloud using drain strike) but too lazy to snap a pic, I'll just see what happens in an hour

Magic break won't affect holy as it's MND based, not Magic, so shell is your only mitigation to Holy

[Aerin]

Yes Magic Break doesn't affect Holy. I had bad RNG and got hit with Mind Blast more than Holy.

[Mertron]

couple runs I did on old setup were osmose spam and a couple holy, never saw a mind blast. of course now that I say that I will see plenty.

last question for now: vaan is running with PBD and dismissal. I have a same-charge (6) steal power, should I use that on him instead of PBD?

[Aerin]

I would use Steal Power over Power Breakdown, the added buff should make up for the loss of direct damage done by Power Breakdown. Of course, the buff is nice if you do run out of abilities and helps increase the damage of your physical SB's too.

[Mertron]

setup I'm using should work, got her to 10% and mega holy'd. Vaan died early so a little rng and I should get it. thanks sirs.

edit: was about to kill her but vaan died again to holy. s/l because I want no deaths for mastery chance. I can do disssss

[killerx]

Set up I used worked pretty well.pp was my roaming warrior. Ace striker on cloud. Push down till the last phase time it so pp was still up and blade beam down to last phase. 27k+ per blade beam got 2 uses by the end really helped that last push. Wish I would of had a multi hit for tidus.

[Mertron]

went 1/1 on exdeath, so i was due to get rng owned on yunalesca I guess. took about 30 tries for rng to cooperate (vaan is not a survivor) so my setup is probably not ideal, lol

fuck that noise, on to rubicante

[Rooney]

Magic break won't affect holy as it's MND based, not Magic, so shell is your only mitigation to Holy

Can holy be reflected? The only magic related b/d I took was full break, and damage from holy varied from 2.5k-6.5k. I did have FB, power steal, and protect on the physical side, which would account for the large variation.

[Melena]

I don't see why not, as it's a single target spell. Only AOE spells are reflect immune to my knowledge. But since Yunalesca absorbs Holy, you run the risk of curing her. Better to just mitigate the damage.
