FFRK - Consorting with Sky Pirates (FF12) Event & Strategies

[Kirbyprime]

thanks!

edit: gee, had to S/L because judges died too fast >_> damnit double bahamut

[arus2001]

1/1'd both, but they're durable bitches. Cid got a bit scary near the end since I killed his drones with maybe 1/8th of his bar left.

[Ratatapa]

Killing 1 rook might be good for those who find cid hard

Unless he resummon if only 1 alive

[Hada]

They have really high def. I was only able to cap damage on Cid using holy attacks and I was stacking scream and apoc shield. I don't really have the best selection of 5* XII weapons but I do have a bunch of 4*++ that are pretty good since I went in to the fight with over 400 attack on each melee DD.

[Tyrath]

Ult was super easy 1/1 with this

Spoiler: show

Didn't even use my second SG lol no medals lost

[Kirbyprime]

1/2 on Ult+

Funny thing was...

Whichever strategy you adopt, just pray that Dr. Cid doesn’t spam CT15!

I actually won purely because he spammed CT15. I only have r2 Banishing Strike so I failed dps check first try because he kept spamming Greater Barrier. >_____>

[Robertfb]

Full medals on both, fucker did get Greater Barrier spam happy in beginning though.

Setup: RW Shout and used magical mitigation instead for ult.

Edit: Even though I posted info on him, was surprised to see interrupt proc since i'm so used to ult + being immune on jp lol.

Had a few hiccups needing some S/L on Judge Bergan. Didn't anticipate the other mobs to be so bulky, but Ashe with Meteor was able to handle them while everyone else dealt with Bergan. Balthier was on shelling duty.

Cid wasn't that difficult, but needed one S/L after I misclicked on Shared SB protect instead of SSII on Yhstola. Leon gave me a nice boost mid fight when I refreshed Shout with HotE, and was able to keep it up with Saint's Cross while Agrias handles Banishing Strike. Yshtola took 2 tomahawks to the face late when a Dismissal didn't land, and died but still only lost 1 medal for damage.

Nothing really special from set-ups already posted.

[Tyrath]

Yeah 1/1 Ult+ too. Didn't change setup much, swapped Laguna for Squall. He went super Blasting Zone happy. Added Banish Raid on Agrias.

Easy peasy.

[Mertron]

1/1 ultimate, took a while to decide my setup then I landed on this. was nice to dust cid off for hyper jump. was much easier than I thought it would be. gonna give ult+ a try later with knight squad.

Spoiler: show

time to break down confuse shot.

[Skai]

Went with the zerging Cid strat for Nightmare and on first try, ran out of Banishing Strike toward the end. Came back on second try with another hone to it and mastered it. Shout meta continues to win.

Ended up not using Tailwind at all so Ace Striker wasn't needed on Ramza.

Spoiler: show

[Kaslo]

Well all done, Judges were more difficult than Cid for me

[Mertron]

knight squad 1/1, no medals lost, long live knight squad

Spoiler: show

[Kainos]

Beat U+ did with this setup and princess favor rw. No medals lost, just focus on cid ignore rooks

[Aerin]

RNG is kicking my ass with Ultimate. Either blind or Confuse never land

[Akiyama]

Ult is kicking my ass in general, ugh.

[hyoton]

Ult: Head judge can be blinded and slowed. Confuse shotted middle judge to avoid re protect.
Ult+: Had to retreat because I couldn't meet DPS check. Took an extra hone on banish strike to R4 but didn't end up needing it because swapped pro for reflect R2 and used shared soul break on power sash for protectga. Very easy since cid can only rebuff via greater barrier while reflect is on; highlight was tyro getting 3.6k drain'd and one of the bots completing regen cast after reflect, reducing my hymn regen to low regen.

[Alkar]

Oneshotted both despite my lack of good 5* sinergy gear. Also used Lightning on U+ and Crushing Blow wasn't the best choice XD

I could be wrong but the target score says use the ability, not make the debuff land. Both debuffs landed on my attempt first try though so take that with a grain of salt.

Yep, should still get medals even if it doesn't land, otherwise they'd phrase it as "inflict blind/confuse with blind/confuse shot."
