    I had one Dismissal proc but he liked hitting Seph, so by the time everyone was charged up, Seph had three good Black Materia rounds for 6500X4X3, and Cloud dropped two bikes, and Tidus had one S&D. One round of abilities and Tidus finished him with S&D. I got super lucky with RNG and had very little damage to deal with. Full medals.

    When I downed him, he let off one more of those dumb aoes of his (Not his Jecht Ball, but the Slow AOE one) and killed two people right before my last Cleansing Strike on Agrias went off. I was like "Noooo!" but then realized character death wasn't one of the requirements for Mastery. Whew.

    Mastered both.

    Beating Yunalesca was a bitch. I had to basically time my silence in Phase 1 so it'd carry over through Phase 3 and I burned her down. I had to build SB gauge though so I can unload, so I did use one mythril more than i'd have liked, but i helped having Tyro's SLG + Agrias' Cleansing Strike to spam + I had Cloud using my two Full Charges and Kuja spamming Dark Zone.

    Would love to do the Cid's Mission of course, but I just don't have the juice to pump up the FFX characters needed> Wakka/Tidus are both level 1 still, Yuna's 80, and Jecht/Braska/Auron are all like..50-55ish as I gave them that initial bump up to do that 3-man Cid's Mission from before. Maybe I"ll try it at some point in the future before it disappears. I really need to boost Tidus, though...

    For anyone struggling with surviving yunalesca phase 3, apparently on turn 20 she gains access to mega death at 40% probability per turn, which will cast with no effect if your party remains sapped, resulting in her wasting a lot of turns doing nothing. This ends up reducing the probability of some form of holy being used each turn down to 50% instead of the 83.3% probability each turn if turn 20 has not been reached. She can be held on phase 1 to run up her turn count rather easily by silencing her, leaving her with only an auto attack which can easily be tanked. Of course, this means you can't use regen in phase 3 as that will remove the sap and get you killed fast.

    The lack of mega death before turn 20 could theoretically be abused as well if you feel really confident you can beat her before then as well. Remove the sap with AoE regen, single target holy won't cast as it requires a sapped target, though you still have to deal with the AoE version at 1/3 probability each turn. 20 turns does come rather quickly with her speed though, so that could prove very risky.

    i completely forgot regen overwrites sap, lol. looks like i got there in under 20 because i definitely used my medica+regen on P3 to weather the holy spam and never saw megadeath.

    Yeah me too, had more trouble with Yuna than U+ Cid mission. But I wasn't removing sap because last time I fought her it meant instant death.

    Wish I knew about that turn 20 bs. Tried a few attempts with eiko for medica/haste before egging penaloe to 80 for her medica/atk up, and even then they only do half as much as relms

    If you put Silencga on a White mage or a char in general with high MND and silencega the turn before she transitions to Phase 2, the Silence will most likely last all the way through Phase 3 if you bumrush her with Shout and such too.

    Yeeaaaaaaaah, I give up. Trying to do ultimate+ without wall + shout is too stupidly hard. Not going to try and hope for RNG to either never beam me or never reaper me.

    Did you try a holy build? There are two RMs, a lot of gear, and abilities. May not be worth it.

    I've kinda given up too, lowest i've gotten him is 10% before Ultimate Jecht Shot spam destroys whats left of my party, done all the builds and I think its simply due to not having max 80 characters (don't have the eggs, I use them to instantly level the newcomers we get), lack of decent RS gear and not having any sort of SBs to finish him off, the only unique character SB I have is Jecht and I can't use him since I have to bring Tidus/Auron/Yuna as well as Wakka for supports and Braska for heals. Not worth killing myself over 2 MFO.

    Rikku, Auron, and Wakka are all 65-69~ while Tidus is 75~ and Yuna 80. No DPS SBs to work with. I was using Shout, all FB, Power Breakdown, Mental Break, and Magic Break along with Shell. If I don't use shell, beam one shots my characters. If I don't use protect, everything else does 2k+ to me. Reaper keeps slowing me.

    Not sure what the Holy strat is but I didn't use it. I used Saint's Cross and Diaga for my initial master, but I couldn't get the slots to equip them ( nor can anyone use SC ) for the Cid's Mission. =/

    I don't understand why people aren't using Holy attacks outside the RM. Yuna with a synergy rod and Diaga is good for 8k/cast easy.

    Getting close for a Cid Mission win, have gotten BFA down to 15% regularly and I think I can do it with better defend timing for Ultimate Jecht Shot and better Shout management.

    It's less not wanting to use it and more not having any slots to use it. But anyways, Rata sent me a build which I'll try though I'll need to massively egg my guys first.
