Final Fantasy Record Keeper - Magicite Dungeons - Summon Crusader! Annihilated

[Robertfb]

BARELY mastered Maralith (fuck her IX name, she's Maralith to me). Had to severely change my sub 30 LF setup to win (no brainer shit like give Tidus Tyro 99 RM over Mako Might). Got lucky as fuck and had 90% doublecasts and Maralith didn't go batshit till 10%.

Setup
Everyone LDived
99 Edge: R2/R3 water shadow nin 5* combo / SSB / NIN DMG +40% RM
99 Tidus: R2/R3 Sapphire Shot / CSB / Weakness DMG +30% RM
99 Ramza: R5/R3 Wrath and Entrust / Shout / Mako Might
99 Bartz: R5 Waterga Strike and R3 water Quadstrike / USB / Spellblade +40% RM
99 Y'shtola: R2 Shellga and R3 Curada / BSB / Thunder God Mode RM

RW: Fabula Guardian
Magicite: 99 Enki / 80 Enki, 99 Mom Bomb, 99 thunder enki, 99 Bottomswell (other enwater Magicite).

Fuck this for farming till I get and max Kraken Magicite.

Oh, kraken is a real joy with the counters.

[Alkar]

Kraken is a bitch lol but I almost have him down. I really need to go with dual healers though, his AoE spam is no joke at low health.

[synistar]

Ice down 1:03. Screwed up in RM equips and pretty much running out of hones. Shit really hurt though.

[hyoton]

All right kraken down sub 30. Going to save rest for thursday.
Swapped to penelo usb over relm usb (I have quite the stable of whm usbs for some reason...) to dodge ink counters and savage leg. I can see why JP players hate the RNG on these but so far they've been okayish. But marilith is very consistent from what I see with no real statuses; just huge bulk.

[kuronosan]

Problem with Marilis is if you let her build too many imperils on your party.

[Sumy]

had 10 mins on my lunch break to try Marilith - went in with my (unaltered) water team from 3*... got her down to 40% before she killed my healer (Relm).
Team was; 99 Noctis SSB, 99 Ramza SSB, 99 Tidus CSB USB, 99 Relm USB, 99 Edge USB
Might need to swap to Y'shtola, or Aria for this one... not sure Aria can keep up, but her BSB has resist-fire. Anyone tried it?

Edit: also didn't change up my magicite - would fire-resist be better than empower water for now? was running 2x mom bomb for attack, and 3x empower water (2x Enki, and 1x Bottomswell) all 99.

[IceSylph]

Managed to beat down Kraken, after like 500 S/L's. I couldn't manage to put Kain chain into setup though. I needed way too much healing

Lightning: USB/BSB2/Dived. Didn't use LMR for this one.
Faris: USB/SSB - Didn't matter. Just entrust bot. She died around the ~50% mark.
OK: BSB - Entrust+Hastega
Y'shtola: BSB/SSB -
Eiko: BSB

4* Magicite damage output is >.>

[hyoton]

That's similar idea to the party I took for sub 30 marilith Sumy, except that I took butz USB over noctis ssb; OK pUSB over shout; and no USBs on tidus or the ninja (blank yuffie too strong). Thundergod curada on relm and entrusts go to her.

[Robertfb]

Tried Kraken and noped out of that rq, need to reform my team to have 2 healers. Did farm Marlith and almost have a maxed out Marilith Magicite. Edge SSB is so MVP for this bitch.

[mistmonster]

I'm going to hate Kraken, I just know it. I hate mutitarget fights anyways. Got Marlith and Isgebind down without a huge amount of issues but I brought 2 whm.

[hyoton]

Per TF Murphy in the reddit AI thread, apparently the 40% damage bonus for 4 star magicites isn't yet implemented. Is Dena feeling all right?

[Alkar]

Fuck Kraken and his counters, seriously... that shit is insane even with 2 healers and buffs. May need to swap in Relm instead of Eiko for Last Stand...

[hyoton]

Now you know my pain! The chance to counters stacking doesn't help (thanks, low hp 100% counter).

There were two solutions I came up with a friend; osb spam kraken to death (my way, because army of one greatly cuts osb cast time; I also had lightning lifesiphon her teammates for meter instead of kraken) or put a drawfire/magic lure/sentinel RM on the entruster or healer. I'm going to be leveling curilla for the sentinel RM in the meantime...

really interesting and cool design on the kary fight where you're just flat out required to have an ultra-OP team (as opposed to merely very OP) to beat the hard enrage at 30s when it spams back to back to back to back firagas. this is the content i crave

Yea, Phase 3 (40%) is stupid as hell.

Phase 3 Pattern:

Turns 1-2: Savage Firaga (BLK: AoE - 490% Fire Magic Dmg, Ignores Res, Uses MAG^0.5, 123% chance of Imperil Fire [-20% resist, 20s duration])
Turn 4: Savage Flame Slash (NAT: 6 hits - 266% Fire Phys Dmg, 21% chance of Interrupt)
Forced: Savage Firaga [Used on 5th turn after last use]
Forced: Savage Flame Slash [Used on 6th turn after last use]
5% Blade Dance (PHY: 266% Phys Dmg)
10% Flame Slash (PHY: 422% Fire Phys Dmg)
5% Firaga (BLK: 410% Fire Magic Dmg)
5% Mustard Bomb (NAT: 410% NonElem Magic Dmg)
25% Firaga <AoE> (BLK: AoE - 342% Fire Magic Dmg) [Unlocks on 4th ATB]
25% Savage Flame Slash (NAT: 6 hits - 266% Fire Phys Dmg, 21% chance of Interrupt) [Locked for 2 turns after last use]
25% Savage Firaga (BLK: AoE - 490% Fire Magic Dmg, Ignores Res, Uses MAG^0.5, 123% chance of Imperil Fire [-20% resist, 20s duration]) [Locked for 1 turn after last use]

[Sumy]

OK, got home and tweaked my water team and did Marilith, team was...

99 CoD - Pro, Chain Waterga - BSB - Mako might
99 Tidus - Saphire shot, Lifesiphon - CSB USB - +water
99 Relm - Curada, Shell - BSB USB - Knights Charge
99 Edge - Reflecting Pool, Raging Waters - USB BSB - +weakness
99 Ramza - Entrust, Wrath - SSB - Dr Mog
RW - wall

Just made sure to use Relms BSB first for Last Stand, then again at +30 secs to reup. Every other time her SB was filled it was USB. CoDs BSB reflected a lot more damage than Noctis did for the team. Ramza only entrusted Relm. Cleartime 48.xx secs

[hyoton]

I don't think 30s is the hard enrage? 60s is the you die now one though.

[synistar]

Here's the 4* Magicite AI thread on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/FFRecordKee..._stats_and_ai/

[Moridam]

i suppose hard enrage is a bit dramatic, by the time 30s rolls around, i'm eating multiple AoEs per turn, way more than LD yshtola can keep up with (and my team is 4/5 LD so certainly not lacking in raw stats). this is with fire resist across the board and the fire resist magicite buff. with god-tier RNG on one run i had one character left at about 36s with the boss having maybe 20% health left, who then got shredded by a multihit physical attack that was doing 9k+/hit, lol.

sumy's setup looks pretty interesting, but unfortunately i lack tidus & relm USB and there's no way it'll work without either of those.
