FFRK - A Lone Wolf's Lament (FFVII) Event & Boss Strats

[Mertron]

red xiii died, but he did not die in vain

1/2, intense

Spoiler: show

I'm actually pretty surprised I survived a petaflare to the face at the end. my healing was just enough to scratch by



.
If I could change anything I would bring more aoe, the dogs weren't dying fast enough. cid is nice and all with his SB but seph with flame blossom probably would be more practical

fun story, red shouldn't have died. I had to wait for the last set of dogs to pop before cid hyper jumped, red got flared right before the end. rip

Went in with wrong team have to wait tomorrow for ultimate

1/1, no deaths, was not bad (7 is best realm and had decked out SSB Seph, burning arrow Tifa, hyper jump Cid), much butt clench moments when pentaflare hit 1 turn and Seph just casted black materia on it, had Cid and Seph SB to death the 2nd and 3rd wave of adds (after sphere dmged them ofc). Very fun and intense fight, GL to rest of you!

Just personally lost out on Mastery because the adds wouldn't respawn fast enough. ;_;

I went heavy on AoE and got down to 4 creepers and 50% before getting wiped. Setup?

Don't think AoE Res down dance is worth it. Creepers die pretty quick under concerted attack and I would probably rather run Magic BD + Full Break on Tyro then.

[kuronosan]

Might have to go back tomorrow. This Creeper shit is frustrating.

Fuck. Just realized I forgot to put Pride of the Red Wings on Cloud. Fucking Derp.

I don't know if its bugged or changed intentionally from the JP version, but someone on reddit discovered that you dont have to worry about the creepers.

1-3 Creepers killed = 1 medal
4-7 creepers killed = 2 medals
8+ creepers killed = 3 medals.

Full Mitigation and bumrush Bahamut strat now?

I'd be skeptical if one could not lose 2 damage medals even with mitigation. 1 is pretty much guaranteed to actions.

Anyway, I was 6/8 on creepers, so got 2 of those medals.

Well first few attempts were a bust. Just broke down some MPO and was able to hone fire blossom to rank 4. Best attempt I had him at 20% but was running out of abilities. Hopefully double aoe's now along with Cloud spamming BSSB's can fix it.

Cloud BSB RW. 2 S/L to master. Fun fight.

[kuronosan]

Man fuck that noise. Almost went perfect on the fight until he decides at 1% he's going to cast Flare on Yuna. Oddly enough, I killed all the dogs and still lost a medal. I counted four spawns.

[Ratatapa]

I don't have enough DPS to kill the 2nd cast of giga, ffs

[kuronosan]

Annoying as shit that the entire fight hinges on when he starts his Petaflare, since you're fucked if it happens to be when you have zero ATB and by the time you make one turn he's already had two.

[Ratatapa]

I think i'll wait at the last minute to do it, don'T wanna waste mythrils on bonus

[kuronosan]

My strategy basically replaced Rinoa with Seph and had Planet Protector. Cid spammed Hyper Jump and Cloud spamming Blade Beam and I still got rather lucky with the last Petaflare. My biggest issue was the damn dogs spawning after I already selected an action then said action targeting them instead. Wasted damage.

Anyway, anyone who has Fusion Sword should not have a problem with this fight.

[mistmonster]

My only problem with the fight was killing enough dogs. I lost mastery the first time on this. The second time, I don't know if the game bugged or the 8th one just has to be out. At the point when a single dog spawned, I killed it. Then the another single and I hit Clouds BSSB which raped Bahamut leaving the 8th dog but I got credit for 8

[Ratatapa]

all dogs alive when bahamut dies is considered dead

So you only kill 6 and the last 2 will die when bahamut dies (if they are up on the field)

[Kirin]

Kind of where I'm at right now. Have 2 more tries before needing to save stamina for orb weekend (if we have it) or FF8 event. If we get orb weekend I was going to switch in Sephiroth to add in Flame Blossom if the above setup didn't work.

Looking at PP or Flames of War for RW. Attack seems to be the way to go with saving SB's for orb killing. Best run I've gotten to is 4 dogs down and Bahamut near 40%. Halp.

Squall has Fated Circle, Lightning has Blaze Rush, Aerith has Dragon Force.

Looking for a strat, only SB i have is HH and SG feels he has too much RES and DEF I have trouble hitting for more then 5k

That's the same boat I'm in. Even having 2 native walls and medica, if I go to 2 AoE users, I'm dropping Bahamut damage. If I go to 1 person that's only AoE I start running out of hones after the 2nd wave of dogs. If I run setups similar to mine above I run the risk of not clearing enough dogs.

It's fights like this I really wish I had native Boon or LH. I feel like I'm one of those or one ability slot away from having it work.
