    It's scripted. It does Ultimate Meteor on the 2nd turn and every 3 turns after... according to Reddit anyways.

    Ditto this.

    Went 1/1 on U and U+ with a FF9 team. Meltdown alone actually took off about half of Melti's HP, but on that run I reapplied buffs + burst before the transition and Kuja was at 8 on the MM counter.

    Used Hope BSB strat, but either the transition between Zorn/Thorn and Meltigemini gets me when reapplying, or if I reapply early Kuja ends up dying too soon.

    May try shifting to Vivi BSB strat to AoE Z&T down.

    U++ went smoothly (not CM obviously)

    I used Divine Guardian. For anyone with native SG, that makes the fight beyond easy.

    Shell and divine guardian stack. Throw on SG, magic breakdown.

    U++ was easier than U+ for me

    Since I have Divine Guardian and Frog Drop, I might ditch the Hope strat, bring Wall as RW, and TCB that way.

    losing CM vs losing 50 mythril ( value of 50 mythril dependent on person ), which is worse.

    Should work in general, but only issue with RW wall is duration and that you'll only get 2 shots out of it. Having tyro is super convenient since for longer battles I tend to end up using it 3 times, (assuming I use it right off the bat in the first round)

    Honestly if you can put out massive amounts of AoE damage via mages it isn't hard with Hope/Vivi RW.

    The CM makes it hard.

    haven't tried it yet, but this post seems to be promising... I mean I was going to use this strat anyways, but the post has a breakdown.

    I did the first 2 entirely with abilities, and aside from breakdowns, was able to take the last NM down with strictly soul breaks (which can't be countered)

    Managed to scrape out a CM & mastery, though was probably .2 seconds from losing another character and medal. Had kuja w/ 502 mag/MM/devotion, vivi w/ 508 mag/dual cast, and everyone else was support/healing. Used Hope burst for RW.

    Haven't bothered with U++ yet but if you want an extra edge wait until we get Curada's Nightmare dungeon as it contains the Bio Armlet (major resistance against poison damage).

    went back and 1/1 with the A team, most of the good vivi RWs I'm seeing on Reddit for CM can't add more followers :/

    Stomped U++ with my A team, only losing 1 medal due to deaths from pushing too hard into an Ultimate Meteor. My synergy is good but my SBs for FF9 characters are crap, so there's no way in hell I'm doing the CM for this.
