FFRK - Reclaiming the Skies (FF4) Event & Strategies

[Yuri-G]

Hmm could try that angle instead, which would make survival easier. My best Faithga is Kuja SSB tho lol

[Alkar]

That won't work, need Haste attached. Do you have any AoE stackable debuffs? If you had Faris with her own you could use her for that and stack it with dances to reduce damage. That opens up your RW slot for Sheepsong or DD if you prefer to go that way.

[Yuri-G]

I have Faris reverse wall, yeah. I feel like that + proshell is probably enough, from what I saw of the battle so far. that and Beatrix Draw Fire + SSB spam should be plenty of mitigation

[Corwen]

If you can zerg quick enough, carbuncle + draw fire is all the mitigation you need (they dont use AoE until turn 5 aside from the opener), and the physical attacks are pretty weak with draw fire and good DEF in the back row.

I personally suggest Maria's BSB as RW over Ashe's BSB for U++. Command 2 gives a nice +30% stacking MAG buff, and the en-earth is useful with titan (even at rank 1 its an easy 25% hp with en-earth and buffs) and only 3 of them are weak to lightning while the goal is to kill all 6. While a MAG+Hastega SB would be ideal, as long as you have some form of native hastega, you can do it with a setup along these lines:

Tyro - Multi Break r1 / Mental Breakdown Dance r1 / Auto-draw fire
Ashe - Faith r1 / Ixion r3 / Something to boost MAG or SMN doublecast
Edea - Memento Mori r1 / any / Devotion
Rydia - Carbuncle r1 / Titan r1 / Something to boost MAG
Ramza - Swift Bolt r2 / any / Mako Might (for shout)

RW - Meteor 16

If you dont have shout, replace ramza for whoever does have hastega and give them your best AoE abilities. Edea can be subbed for any darkness mage, Rydia for any summoner and Ashe for any summoner with white 3 access. If you dont have auto-draw fire RM, then draw fire is fine (ideally on your haster if they can equip, otherwise drop the mental breakdown dance and put it on tyro)

Turn 1 - Faith -> Rydia, Carbuncle (make sure faith is on first), Memento Mori, Multi Break, Hastega
Turn 2 - Edea activates RW, Ixion, Mental Breakdown dance, Rydia activates RW after Edea's finishes casting
Turn 3 on - Edea spams command 2, Rydia uses command 2 once then titan then command 2 if needed, Ashe spams ixion, Tyro keeps dances up

[Yuri-G]

With haste, how many casts do you get in before they combine? I am setting up my party and don't want to overhone.

[theshun]

I used two mages stacked with IV MAG gear who used Ashe RW and just let them AoE. I think I went double healer so I could use Penelo to Multi break and Magic dance. Let the other healer Shellga. And Pecil draw fire (back row + BSB). I think I had Meteor/Bahamut/Ixion/Quetz for back up casts but I took out all six before it wore.

[Akiyama]

Wow. With Ashe RW and PCecil eating the damage with draw fire.. two Paladin Forces + like 5 command 2s was enough. I was like "Okay they're dead, time for calcabrina...no? uh..ok."

[Prothescar]

P.Cecil BSB, Kain BSB, + Celes RWing Firion BSB blew them apart

[Yuri-G]

First try with my ghetto mage AoE party, came very close. Two left with a silver of health, if I had made a few better choices or had a bit better RNG it would have been fine.

Second try, about three turns in one of them Blizzaga'd the fuck out of my party and OHKO everyone from full health...?????

What the FUCK was that?

The Flans? or the Dolls?

The flans seemed to get more magic boost the lower the masters HP got, which is why AOEs start out so weak (500ish), but the moment he hit 50% HP they would hit for 3-5k+ with shell - in my experience anyway.

The dolls were not alive long enough for me to tell.

Edit; bah, guessing dolls. I dunno.

[Kirbyprime]

Dolls shouldn't do that much? I don't think Dolls even do AoE at turn 3 ( other than initial turn 1 )

[kuronosan]

I think you just missed that the Flans and Master go from casting -ra spells to -ga spells.

[Yuri-G]

The dolls. Looks like it is a small chance in their AI, nasty. Unlocks after turn 5

[Sumy]

That makes sense - it all happened so fast.

[kuronosan]

Yea, I was surprised at first too. It was my wake-up to bring more mitigation for that fight.

[Yuri-G]

IKR? it's a rare move but a massive shock when it does happen lol


I was vastly overcomplicating this fight, guys. trying to go the mage meta route when I really don't have the relics or abilities (or even character levels) to support it.


then it dawned on me. Beatrix BSB? AoE holy and imperil holy. Pecil RW BSB? AoE holy and enholy. I have native shout, I have dancers, I have a summoner.


1/1 (if you don't count my failed mage meta attempts) with that method. lord, I feel stupid lol

doing it with the A team wasn't the difficulty

Doing it CM wise is much harder

[Yuri-G]

I am talking about dolls! I said that already. Nobody reads my posts


And yeah, the dolls were terribad easy. Easier than U+ even.

[Auspice]

I must be failing pretty hard on this; I'm using Ashe RW with 2 mages and the best I can do is get half the dolls dead by the time they merge lol

[kuronosan]

Bring tons of AoE and Resistance Dance.
