I should really finish up IX and other torments, but I'm shorter on rubies than motes for the moment...
Spoiler: show
All abilities are rank 4+ everyone is maxed out record sphere and HP crystal water
Thancred's first turn is smothering fire, second turn he chains - used BSB mostly (have his brave USB but i don't think its necessary)
Ysh opened with BSB and uses haste around 20
Papa opens with Firaja, and uses memento of prayer around 10 second - popped BSB and used command 1 until it runs out then Firaja until ASB is ready
Alph opens with protectga, then dark valefor - only used his BSB
Minfilia opens with USB and acts as a second healer with healing smite - used her SSB the rest of the fight
could lower time by maxing out magicites but am lazy, dunno if this helps
edit: might of used Alph's SSB around 30 mark. If I did it all over again i'd probably use dark ifrit instead of dark valefor for Alph
hell yeah, copied your strat and it worked, mastered in 43. only changes were thancred on earth ninja duty (bUSB) and papalymo was firaja spam > USB > firaja spam > ASB > firaja spam. first D??? mastery clear too, thanks!
I have all that, so I'll definitely give it a shot.
D??? Shadow Lord down.

Setup:
Spoiler: show
Prishe - SSB
Shantotto - USB/AOSB - LMR1/LM2
Ayame - BSB/AOSB - LM1/2
Aphmau - USB - LMR
Curilla - USB1/SSB - LMR
It kind of makes me laugh a little bit that I managed to get the clear using SSBs but they both are porpotional healing SBs. Shantotto and Ayame are pulling most of the weight with Prishe and Curilla helping out building the chain and support healing. The invulnerability to physical damage is annoying but isn't much of a problem. I think I can get a sub 30 time but it would require some well timed quad procs from Shantotto.
I can post my other D??? if y'all want
FFT - clear
FFV - 60% - no mastery
FFXII - 82% - mastery (might be able to clear it now)
FFVII - 80% - no mastery
FFVI - 54% no mastery
VIII - haven't attempted
IV - haven't attempted - this is my next focus since I have palom USB now
XIII - wiped before 50%
XV - wiped before 50% - just got iris USB from the 40 pull so I should try it again
XIV - clear
X - 74% no mastery
IX - 52 % no mastery
III - haven't attempted
T0 - Haven't attempted
XI - haven't attempted
*can't fit break or break strike into the no mastery ones
I can also post 280's if requested... however, most used Onion knight and/or Elarra
VI torment done and sub 30'd. Sloppy but no real reason to go back.
FF8 D??? Down!
Did this fight twice, accidently used Squall bUSB command instead of AOSB and ended up wiping at 1%.
Setup
Selphie Shellga/Ultra Cure/USB/Mako Might
Rinoa Valigarmanda/chain blizzaga/bUSB/Attunement II
Quistis Vortex/Protectga/USB + LMR/DMT
Laguna 6* ice machinist/Freeze Snipe/imperil ice SSB/TGC Mode
Squall 2x Snowspell Strike/Glint + bUSB + AOSB/Truthseeker
Magicite: Wendigo (Empower ice 15) / Famfrit (health Boon 5 + bladeward 8) / Quetzacoaltl (Magic Boon 15) / Evrae (spellward 8)
All LD except Quistis.
I should go back to gerogero, come to think of it. I don't think I sub 60'd it.
Big question: Snipes or Offerings for machinists?
I default to the 6 star offering; same potency as a snipe, more meter, 50% short duration imperil. Snipe's just 2 extra hits for chain and if you're capping. The 5 star offerings stink on ice.
took zidanes ult2, dived him quina and freya, 31s ix torment. i could squeeze in a crit burst to eke out the last damage, but do i really care? (maybe.)
First half of ahriman torment: I don't see the big deal?
Second half: OH I SEE IT NOW
Speaking of, 73% on Ahriman. Refia was the last one standing and Fires Within w-casted like 3 of the last 5 turns.
I'm at 85% I think? Haven't attempted since drawing Luneth Ultra from Daily.
I also finally got below 50% for IX, which has allowed me to dive all KH characters except Riku.
Got D??? Yunalesca to 30% before her Incubus Ultima and Mega Death killed everyone. I think if I had Yuna's USB that I can sub 50 it.
Team
Paine USB
Wakka USB
Tidus bUSB
Yuna SSB2
Rikku USB
All legend dived except Rikku. Used Geosganeo and water magicite deck.
I should really revisit that fight.
XIV with ysh USB2 instead of USB1/burst combo: swapped over to an undived papalymo with chain firaja/shellga and he outperformed a dived estenien and undived milf (so ysh with pro and heal, cid xiv usb, yda usb, papa and alph lunar val/shell). 35s which is comfortably below 40 but also needs an aosb or something to burst ultima down at the end. Or one of the better USBs on the other dudes - estenien is probably my biggest disappointment for this realm. Worse damage than an undived character while still having less utility? Seems bad...
