I might wait for serious effort on the Mote Dungeon and see if they don't stealth update on Wed/Thurs.
Otherwise I may use a similar strat but with Ricard and Skygrinder.
Skygrinder won't autohit though which is what you need blade flash for.
Buggy Firion is best Firion (check his sprite when he gets hit).
My planned setup, but will probably just try tomorrow
will probably go with the same setup i used for U+ (maria BSB cheese), except stick leon in there since i forgot he can use darkness skills and i have a 5+ magic sword.
I already unlocked him. Might as well since I do use him.
Tried the flashing blade strat, only able to hit for ~6500 with mirror of equity up, and I ran out of hones with about 30% left on red soul and the others dead. I'm thinking maria with indonesian blade spamming meteor or RW maria BSB would work out better
Fuck. Yea. Waifu.

so yeah going in with my U+ comp is completely not viable unless i want to H&R for a few hours to build an extra gauge for 1-2 characters, lol.
Mastered CM with the maria BSB RW method, 1 action and 1 damage medal lost
Setup was:
Maria - Meteor r3 / Faith r2 / Devotion
Minwu - Curaja r5 / Shellga r3 / Doublecast
Leon - Sleep r5 / Armor Break r5 / Auto Haste
Josef - Magic Breakdown r4 / Mental Breakdown r4 / Auto Haste
Gordon - Sleep r5 / Haste r5 / Auto Haste
RW - Maria BSB
No SBs were used, everyone had ice resist accessories on. Had an 8* of minwu's SSB staff on Maria and was able to spam command 2 for 19k AoE.
trying to do the double sleeper method, but it's absolutely infuriating. might be a ~5-10% success rate to land, i thought i was being clever by jamming the doublecast RM on leon for a tiny edge. turns out it's 100% useless because it doesn't respect manual targeting, which means it defaults to status-immune enemies first, lol.
WTB sleepga :\
Use a bard? Or you're going for CM?
Have you tried MM + Sleep?
The sleep spell and sleep buster are 30% land rate, though that still means you need about 7-8 sleeps to get both ogres slept on average, so you definitely need some luck to get them slept in a timely manner and keep them slept. It took me 5 tries i believe to get good enough sleep RNG to win with the sleep method.
A team mastered with 1 medal lost. Haven't used Cloud's Blade Beam in a long long time. But pretty much blew em up with AoE.
hooooly shit i can't believe i beat it. CM cleared!
gonna have to go back for mastery, lol. first fight in memory where i've actually run out of cure/lifesiphon hones. clutched it out with a desperation shellga into WotWM to keep leila up for the last-ditch powerchain to kill red into SSB to finish off the last ogre who somehow miraculously slept twice.
definitely should've just made faith and brought that with, woulda killed a turn earlier that way. also mega-fucked up by not aligning my sleep slots
setup:
Spoiler: show
Time to copy Rattata. Though small problem being my II characters aren't leveled... lol >.> will do it on Monday I guess.
definitely make sure you level josef. most of the reason i struggled with this one was not having access to a second character with breakdown access, so i had to rely on gordon for everything. which also meant relying on goddess bell as my primary mitigation source, which is a bit awkward in a strategy centered around sleeping stuff.
