FFRK - Mote Dungeons

[hyoton]

I finally beat it by BSSBing Luneth RW for damage and doing Luneth and Desch in parallel, but it is certainly nowhere as good as mage BSSBs. I 50'd a swordshower and nothing else but it ended up being amazing, particularly with BSSB enwind on and the mighty R1 entrust. Luneth BSSB strategy needs either another self boost (dark bargain or meteor crusher) or preferably to use command 2 for atk up/res down effect plus damage - you probably won't push enough atk otherwise. Aerial Blast coming out eventually for XIV will be much better.

That said, the ahriman has about a 40% base chance to use physicals each turn so if you get a RNG with heavy physical usage into blind (and probably an early poison) you'll win - I won only because in his last few turns ahriman went lunge->attack-> lunge, most of which missed, in between swordshowers while almost everyone else was dead from an earlier meteor.

For the CM, there's three DDs who can use wind and each has their upsides (desch can blind and poison from the back and aerora strike; luneth can self boost and wind jump from the back or other jumps; refia can wind slash from the back and meteor crush). Luneth is probably the strongest in a vacuum with a self boost and very strong and cheap wind skill.

Luneth can also use Dark Bargain if you dive him but that's a pretty big investment for one battle. I actually dived him for Spellblade 5* though and went with Tornado Strike+ Aerora Strike.

[kuronosan]

I haven't dived Luneth and he has Dark Bargain unlocked by default for me.

Oh yeah, I confused his Support 4* for Darkness 4* access. He gets to dive Darkness 5*.

[Ratatapa]

Don't care if it's 1 or 2 orb I DID IT

Spoiler: show

Luneth is fully dived 3*
OK is fully dived 3* and all the mage 4* to get as much MAG as possible
RW was IB

I already had mastered it with my A team before so i didn't bring PDB

Don't care I did it with low gear and all

[kuronosan]

Grats Rata!

[Ratatapa]

Grats Rata!

Thanks so happy it's over

[hyoton]

Oh, indomitable for meltdown and tornado strike spam plus mitigation? That's good thinking.

[kuronosan]

His strategy was brilliant, really.

[Kirin]

What were you hitting it for Rata? Especially with the 6* Dragoon ability? I have Desch's attack boost, but without it hitting about 6k on wind jumps.

Was pondering doing Tornado Strike on Luneth. Either way im spending motes.

Did you use both IB back to back, or Onion Knight first while Luneth used Wind Jump and then swapped out?

[Melena]

I actually mastered this non cm without even using poison.

Cloud with TS/DS and lvl 99 sword RM
Cid with Wind Jump/Life Siphon and spear RM
Aerith with Curaja/Shellga with 2x whm chance RM
Ramza with FB/MBD and Mako Might
Tyro with Ensuna (of course he was the one to get stoned at the end) and PBD with Dr. Mogs Teachings

Climhazzard was fucking king. Should have swapped lifesiphon to cloud. Fully buffed with Shout + FB was hitting for almost 8k a hit every time I popped it.

Meltdown was doing 8.8k ish and skydive was doing 3.9k each hit

Only OK used lb

[Alkar]

Tornado Strike was doing 7.7k per hit on my Luneth btw, Swordshower (SSB) around 5.5k per hit. Think I had Vaan's dagger RM on him or Truthseeker.

[Nama]

Still can't manage to down Mote Ifirit....

[hyoton]

Ifrit does have a luck component because of how hard meteor hits but by now our offensive options are a lot better. What are you bringing in?

[kuronosan]

Still can't manage to down Mote Ifirit....

What's your setup?

[Melena]

If you want I can toss up Rinoa with her Burst as RW

[Sumy]

I finally got 2 pieces of Mage Synergy, including Shooting Star for Rinoa...
I Record-Dived Quistis for 4* WHM..
I RM3'd Rinoa...
I'm back-rowing everyone to Half Physical damage (which really isn't the issue)
and STILL my best attempt was back to back Meteors at 30% and everyone just drops to the floor.

The RNG on this guy is a freaking joke.

Edit: is it just me or does he get a little slower with slower HP?

[Kirin]

Mutherfucking Carl Grimes copycat opted to use Scratch twice instead of casting a spell when I was one Meltdown away from clearing CM. Blind my ass.

I'll try it again now that ive got the rhythm down, and dumped Wind Jump on Luneth for Mental Break, figuring the extra damage from that on Meltdown would outclass even 2 extra actions on Luneth if RNG went my way.

Rofl.
