I was thinking about it, but Ifrit seems to have more AOE spells then single target

How much does en-ice boost damage? 50%?
BTW I noticed the FF10 and FF2 mote dungeon mob info are swapped.
Rewards for clearing and mastering Ifrit have been increased compared to JP and the mission now rewards you with 2 Major Power instead of motes. Good changes :D
Got rekted so bad
Jesus, fire accessories, Full Break , Shell and DG and he still plowed my ass into the ground, lol.
Yeah... w/o excellent VIII synergy and good SB's I don't see the vast majority of people being able to do the mission. I had pretty much every SB I wanted for the fight and was still ~1 meteor away from not being able to recover.
Out of Hones

Damage taken wasn't the issue. I will probably need the following:
R4>5 MBD
R2>3 Full Break
R3 Blizzaga Strike
This is what I took for the CM/mastery:
Selphie: r5 curaja, r2 protectga, knights charge, dreamstage
Squall: r5 blizzara strike, r4 blizzaga strike, sword +20%, mystic strike
Edea: r5 blizzaga, r4 blizzaja, blood of espers, inaugural parade
Irvine: r4 power b/d, r3 FB, ace striker, (took first aid shared SB in case)
Quistis: r4 magic b/d, r5 blizzaga, mako might, mighty guard VIII
RW wall
Had I think 10-12 total abilities left and 10-25% HP on everyone when it died.
Edit: should mention Squall was MVP for this fight. Once mystic strike went up it stayed up the rest of the fight. Without it I probably would have run out of dmg.
I managed to go 1/1 master clear with what I would call a max protect party. I only had one death and that was from the doom timer on Edea since this was a really long fight.

Ignore the SG for my RW, I actually used Lulu's focus for the res and mag buff.
For SBs I used sea lord's with faris for the att/mag reduction, SSII, MG8 on Quistis and inaugural parade on Edea. I tried using the shared SB heal with Quistis's second SB gauge but with her low mind it only healed around 700 HP.
My mage gear is pretty good so I was able to really good damage with MM/DZ by stacking focus with MM. Around 9k per hit on DZ.
Edit:
I just finished getting a master CM clear by switching in Irvine and Selphie. I put the shared SB heal on Selphie and I didn't use any SB with Irvine. SG as my RW.
first try i got it down to 15-20%, i had the hones and SB's in the tank to close it out but ate a meteor right before medica went off and lost 3/5. that was with miracle RNG though, lots of the % move in the back half of the fight. the worst part is i wasn't paying attention to my RM's and had ace striker on rosa, meant to throw on knight's charge which would've put me ahead on healing. may take several hundred attempts to see that again, or get off a full round of moves before taking damage 6-8 times.
running tyro/rosa/auron/basch/ramza, irvine gun on tyro w/ ABD+blizzara strike, revolver on auron, mesmerise++ on basch and that's pretty much it for synergy. it's winnable with subpar synergy but you need to be completely stacked, SB-wise.
Won with my setup on page 1, used 2 mythril revives (hp and defense buff and started my real attempt with 3 bars on everyone) and won with 2 damage medals lost. Fuck this terribly designed fight.
Ugggghhh, I think I'll skip this until next time. My VIII synergy is crap and my ice hones aren't up there with the ones you guys are posting... I'll have to work on that.
ok by several hundred i meant like 7. i got stupidly lucky and ate AoE flame every time someone was sub-500HP with magic blink down.

result:

5* skills are all R2, RW was tyro BSSB. physical teams can definitely get there, but my SB selection is pretty godlike (SG/divine heal/banishing/apoc shield/shout) so probably not the easiest setup to replicate.
Yeah, not gonna bother. Maybe not the best possible starts with my A team, but only got him to about 60%. The whole attacking twice my once with Haste up is just an eventual healer overload.

Must resist the urge to pull from banners.....
Gave it a shot with mage team, got destroyed just like when I did it on JP, i'll wait till I get more Ice SBs or mitigation SBs.
