      • Blinding Ormi removes Draw Fire, do this ASAP. You will need to reapply it multiple times
      • Leblanc casts Protectga & Shellga at the start of battle and at 50% health
      • You will want to kill Leblanc first since she has a move that removes all buffs from the party
      • Logos has this lovely ability - Russian Roulette: Deal moderate special physical ranged damage and Poison, Confuse, Sleep, Slow, Sap one target.



    Recommended abilities: Dispel/Banish Raid, Blindga/Blind Shot/Orthros, Protectga, Shellga, AoE (Meteor, summons, etc)

    Leblanc is a she.

    Also, I have no worries about this event. Lineup:

    Lulu (80) + Hairpin + Poisonga/Focus, Meteo + Ruinga, Doublecast
    Yunie (80) + Lullaby Rod, Curaja + Slowga, Mako
    Lightning (80) + Lightning Steel, Pound + LS/Ace Striker
    Auron (will be 80) + Shiranui + Flashing Blade/Burning AoE thing, Heroic Stance
    Quisty (65) + MG8 + Blindga + Venom Buster, Teachings

    I plan on using Wall as an RW. I don't plan on this being hard.

    Dumb question, but for Boris is Full Break nulled entirely or will he still get the armor/mental portion of it. Of course I can just bring Armor breakdown instead or just not bring Boon, bring a Hastega RW and bring another nuker.

    Pretty straightforward fight. Didn't even use breaks, myself. Lulu was on nuke weakness duty as was Lightning with spellblades. Bartz just built his SSB, but I only really used him because it's one of the better damaging ones I have aside from Lightning's. Tyro just Slowed, Dia'd, then SG'd when he Oversouled.

    Personally waiting on some info on the Ultimate before I dive in. Not really interested in 3-4 hours of S/Ls.

    1/1'd on dry run
    Spoiler: show


    Rare footage of Wakka being the MVP with SSB. Buff up-> throw AoEs. Completely forgot to replace Full Break with Dark Buster...whoops

    Try to kill Lebance 1st if possible cause of her dispel-ga or Logos if you can't deal with his nonsense.

    So I'll go over my strat using the party I posted before.

    You really, really, really need to land slow + blind on the back row people. They're assholes.

    AoE stuff is a must. Lulu must have Doublecast Meteor like 2 times and Ruinga 3 times. It helped alot.

    Save your SSBs, if you have them, in order to zerg Leblanc or Cockface Gunwielder after they hit 50%. Leblanc will use Dispelga and Cockface likes to spam his 3-hit gun move, usually with zero delay.

    If you don't have native wall (I didn't bring it in my lineup so that I could bring Hastega) use defend when Fatman America gets ready to throw his Mighty Shield. It cuts the damage significantly. He's easy once the other two are dead.

    All it took was me saving up 3 bars for Lightning and spamming Crushing Blow plus Auron using Flashing Blade and the firey thing to get rid of the two idiots. Fat guy went down soon after.

    Can't stress enough the importance of blinding the guys in the back row and slowing the top two.

  20. #20

    I think Logos is guaranteed 2 actions per round, it's just they could be two different attacks. But yes, blinding him is important since he can also inflict confuse/sleep on top of damage. I wouldn't say Ormi is cake, though. At his last legs he can prep a move called Concussive Blast that'll do like 2.5k to everyone and if you're unlucky he'll spam it.

    So, while this fight does scream AoE, I found Yukikaze's blind to be unreliable. Us not having Dispelga also makes the Mighty Guard a pain if Leblanc favors it. This certainly isn't up there in the difficult Ultimates, but it can be hard enough RNG hates you and your synergy sucks.
