FFRK - Abyss Dungeon 04 - Summoning Magic Event & Strategies

[arus2001]

I managed to get it done with some reluctant ability shattering and orb exchanging, but some things were still out of the question like R5ing Valefor. I guess for those low on T4 summons, the last phase is pretty much about stalling to build L2-3 orbs and just hoping your harder hitting stuff is enough to take them out. Wound up lucky getting a 2x proc on my Bahamut.

You have to kill the orbs fast enough and at the same time with summons in order for him not to use his instant wipe move which is Nightmare Gigaflare, which is 5555 + 1111 per level of orb consumed.

Edit: According to reddit he'll also instant Nightmare Gigaflare if no orbs were created when he enters P3.

You need to pop at least 2-3 orbs and each orbs into at least level2 if you want an easier p3

Ok I got it now easy. I blame dr. Mog, forgot to mention that DIDNT YOU!!! Also thx to @merton who I just copypastad

Spoiler: show

[Akiyama]

I don't have nearly enough summons for this, but I tore through the first four fights pretty easily.

[Zoii]

Mastered, lost one medal for actions taken because of defending in P1 & P2 and two for damage taken due to him casting gigaflare three times in a row <10%. Only had to hone the 3* summons from R4 to R5 and ninja magic from R3 to R4. The few hones I had into 4* summons were from forever ago. Ended up with two level 2 orbs and a level 1 orb, anyways setup and stats were:

Spoiler: show

RW was actually MG8.
SBs: Ramuh, Wishing Star, Shell, SG, Pulse of Life

[kuronosan]

Win. Had to put summons on EVERYONE and go with aoe heals, risking not being able to cure, and a mythril refresh.

Worth it. Wouldn't have been possible without more hones on summons I already have maxed out and I don't feel like meeting thirty copies.

[Kirin]

People doing this on Sundaily?

But why?

[Zoii]

Cleared everything except Bahamut yesterday, so it was only 1 stamina.

[Kirbyprime]

Well, it's 1 stamina so not like it's take a chuck out of sun daily

[Corwen]

The main difficulty about this one seems to be having enough hones, lol. Good thing I already had 2 maduins and an orthros at r4, so I just needed to hone a set of the 3* summons for this.

Took me about 4-5 s/l to get the hang of it before I mastered with 1 damage medal lost with:

Terra - Shiva r4 / Maduin r4 / Devotion / --
Rinoa - Ramuh r4 / Maduin r4 / Vow of Vengeance / --
Eiko - Curaja r5 / Orthros r4 / WHM Doublecast / Emerald Light
Hope - Ifrit r4 / Shellga r3 / Magic Madness / --
Tyro - Fire Veil r4 / Water veil r4 / Mako Might / Sentinel's Grimoire

RW - Divine Guardian

Phase 1 - Buffed Shell, SG, DG then defended until gigaflare ended the phase.
Phase 2 - Built all 3 orbs up to level 2, exploited weakness where possible for extra damage, Rebuffed during 2nd fire phase.
Phase 3 - AoE spam until orbs down, burn boss down after.

If I were to do it over again, I'd give ramuh to hope, since i only used 2 charges in phase 2 (cant exploit any weakness with it), so he'd be able to contribute some damage for phase 3.

[Ratatapa]

had alot of issues with Neo bahamut but finally cleared it

[Classikmage]

Honed as much stuff as I could. This is about as good as I can get a party right now, no special SB's on any of them.Thinking if I should hold out a couple of days until I get a chance to get Braska's RM2 or just charge in with this. If I did that I could give Braska's RM2 to Rinoa and free up Devotion for Garnet.

[Rooney]

You're going to want haste, but otherwise it looks good.

[Classikmage]

You're going to want haste, but otherwise it looks good.

Only way I'd be able to get haste is either by bringing Lenna or through RW. I could replace Aerith with Lenna, wouldn't have synergy on that slot, but Flames of War would bring haste to the fight.

Something 'strange' happen in my run

Fastforward to P2 Neo Bahamut goes into Fire mode

Arc did Ifrit for about 1.2k dmg per hit
Orb Poped
Casted Water Veil, Valefor, Alexander and Shiva on my other members
Bahamut attacked
Arc Did Ifrit for about 1.2k per hit
Orb didn't changed
Queued other attacks and Bahamut changed to ice stage
Garnet summoned Shiva and did about 1.2k per hit
Orb poped
Double cast proced for about 1.2k per hit
Orb grew to level 2
Do my stuff and switched to lightning
Summoned Ramuh
Orb poped
Summoned Ixion
Orb Grew to level2

Anyone know why the fire orb didn't grew to level 2?

The only difference I see here is that after your first Ifrit you used a bunch of other summons unlike the other two. Maybe that's the reason.

[Robertfb]

Should have still grew the orb though since the threshold is total dmg and its 4k though.
