FFRK - A Worthy Foe (FF5) Event & Strategies

[synistar]

Even with Faris front row. I don't even know how she survives since his defense is so low even with heavy armor on.

[hyoton]

I calculated out I couldn't actually win with what I had due to insufficient damage (lack of axe damage RMs until they finally arrive, lack of other in realm mages to buff for DPS) so I pulled on banner 1. Fire lash x 2 and exdeath's cuirass wasn't what I had in mind but my V synergy is now pretty good. Definitely going to keep self haste and hastega items in mind when pulling from now on because this went from ludicrous to the other side of ludicrous real fast. But I now have more caster items than there are casters in V, and how is this my second six star whip?

Took me ~3 hours with a similar setup to what Kirin posted. Phew; glad that's over with.

I finished it but forgot Dispel medals. Not sure if I want to go back and Master. By the way, restarting the phone fixed the crashes.

From what I've read around the web on this fight I got extremely lucky apparently. I only had one monk kick to start which was the only serious damage issue. Once I had him Debuffed and wall RW up he didn't break 600 damage the rest of the fight.

I have ridiculous V synergy though too so that helped a bunch.

I HAD NO PROBLEMS FIGHT EZ

**3 SSBs, 1 BSB, full synergy**

[Meian]

My advice to anyone who has shout and SS already, RW a good AOE heal to negate the first kick and give yourself time to get up your buffs.

Was pretty much what I said in my earlier post. I didn't run double WHM but I had some really close moments even with my aoe-heal on Rosa and as I said lost Tyro near the end. Problem for some though means if they don't have native Shout or Wall...

[Korialstrasz]

Came to bitch about monk kick but it looks like you've all got it covered already.

[Uzor]

This fight was a bitch. Took me 8 resets, on my 8th reset I got lucky and had my healer start with an almost full ATB bar, so could get Protectga up before first monk kick. All other runs he started with Monk Kick before I even had a chance to act, dealing over 5000 damage to everyone and insta-killing Ramza. Once I got Protecta, SS and Faris BSB up the fight was a breeze, did around 500 damage on Monk Kick and 200 a hit on his spellblade barrage attacks.

Yeah, this fight is complete bullshit. The only hard thing about it is his insanely high speed and damage making him wipe you before you even get a chance to act. I wish there were more strategy to it beyond "get lucky with opening", because once you get that initial protectga up to survive his slaughter, you've already won.

Well 1/1 CM but no mastery. It's funny but Arise actually saved the run <3 Went with double healer (Lenna and Exdeath) and Faris SSB actually helped a lot with damage. Bartz had Drain Strike to help with heals and Aerora Strike to target weakness after Serpent's Gale. Also forgot to bring a shared heal on Lenna, oops. Shout RW btw.

[arus2001]

Threw my A-team at Bartz. Fuck the CM.

Obvious protect getting offer before first kick aside, also had to make sure SG and my AoE heal got off before the third. After that, is was just hoping he didn't focus too much on someone.

[Cream Soda]

Well that sucks. Spent an hr s/l'ing just to survive his first 2 rounds and finally won but forgot to remove his haste buff.

Just gonna call that a loss on the lightning/holy orbs. Reaaallly don't feel like doing that one again.


Definitely no way I can do that one w/o my A team. The fact that I have no ff5 synergy also didn't help though.

Ended up putting Pecil in the backrow with a 4star+ bow with draw fire and the RM that gives him more SB gauge when getting attacked. Once I got 2 bars worth I just start spamming his BSB for damage.

[kuronosan]

Don't feel bad, I have lots of V synergy and I couldn't do shit.

[Alkar]

It really comes down to luck but if you have native Wall and Shout this fight is a joke with a Medica RW. Using elemental accessories also helps.
