    I tried the Lightning week one and couldn't get the hits over 35kish. Is that normal and i need to expect to hit with 15 or so of them along with all the chip damage or am i just missing something obvious? Went in with Lightning/TGCid/OK/Vanille/Y'Sholta

    30% ATK boost from OK ain't gonna work that well on its own. There's no sinergy in magicite dungeons so you need to stack more buffs and try to equip as much elemental bonus damage as possible from gear/materia. Don't forget that most 6* weapons only have elemental boost under sinergy so they won't work here either. It'll get better as you collect more magicites and level them up.

    Edit: You also have Eiko's BSB, get rid of Vanille and use her if going physical.

    Golem... such a bastard. With Cloud BSB2, Faris USB, AND Zack CSB the physical barrier + protect would just eat (almost) an entire soul-break... he would rage at 1:20 and we'd die.
    Decided instead to use the ninja method. Made 3 Gusts with 8 charges each, honed Raging Storm to 6 uses, and already had a capped Phantom.

    99 Edge - Raging Storm, Gust - SSB Blinkga - +30 wind
    99 Y'shtola - Ultra Cure, Protect - BSB
    99 CoD - Meltdown, Faith - Reflect BSB Mako might
    99 OKnight - Gust, Phantom - Dr Mog
    99 Tyro - Gust, Phantom - BSB +30 weakness

    ...won in 1min 8 seconds, the ninja magic alone would NOT have worked though, the reflected damage from CoD's BSB did a LOT to help complete this.

    Just started in on fenrir... holy shit at his speed. Took 3 attempts before I could even get buffs up before he killed someone. After that he's a cakewalk to heal through. Slow spam is real though.

    I only did fenrir now since magicite started

    Only miss 1 fenrir drop but fenrir is a gigantic rng fest

    If he slows down squall and celes before shout is ready the fight is almost guaranteed over

    Done a couple clears of him now, getting the hang of his AI. Nabbed one of each magicite so far, pretty happy about that.

    Personally, I don't see why. I'm doing a week on each element, and leveling as I go. Once I get around the cycle I'm guessing I can cut ~10 sec off my times. I'm pretty consistent 45-50s per clear. I'm being conservative now, but with more magicite levels and boosts I'd guess I can sub 30 with some adjustments to strats.

    dont care much about the time, mostly want to get 4x each 3* drop and pass on the next

    But yeah tonight might be my last fenrir.

    No idea how you guys are able to focus on just 1 for so long, I get bored too quickly.

    Ease. Also it makes farming the next square in line much easier.

    Honestly I just like collecting magicites and levelling them up. The amazing remix of "A Contest of Aeons" is the icing on top, I just love it so the fights really don't bother me that much. I'm also super lazy so if I had a good team setup for a fight I would just repeat that 3-4 times, now I have a team saved for each boss so I only need to do some changes when I get more magicites/relics.

    Oh yeah I LOVE that remix. I know some people on reddit stated they would have preferred original music but it hits all my jams.

    I tried cycling them but I found I lost muscle memory going from one boss to another, and I can hit sub 30 clears on whale and sealion. So I figure I'll do the ones I can do well, then pray I get elemental osbs or other things which simplify the others.

    Any decent guides on the Magicite dungeons for those who don't have a lot of stacking elemental debuffs. Only element debuffs I can stack are wind and Holy, and the earth magicite dude still ass rapes my A team (subbing out Tyro since you get wall as your RW) before he's at 75%.

    I don't use imperils unless I don't have better options or it's a free shot from a magicite. Enelement is much more important. Are you adjusting your A team for golem?

    I only run imperils on 2 of them, Hydra and Bismarck. They aren't necessary and it only works out because of how it works for those teams. It's 5x melee teams, then a mage team for Golem.

    Here's my first clear teams:
    Living Flame (v1 before I got relics)
    Bartz - Waterga Strike | R3 Twinstrike - OSB (Now has BSB2)
    Edge - Hydro Shot | R(2?) Sapphire Shot - BSB (Now juiced with Ninja abilities, USB, and full Legend Dive)
    Zell - LS | Lifebane/Omega Strike - BSB (Now replaced with Gordon with SSB and entrust)
    Ramza - Entrust - Shout + USB (Full Legend Dive)
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse (Full Legend Dive)

    Sealion
    Bartz - Firaga Strike | 5* shooter Fire whatever - OSB
    Celes - R3 Blazing Twinstrike - Indom Blade (Full Legend Dive, A bonus but not 100% needed for this fight)
    Zell - LS | R2 Fire's Within - BSB
    Ramza - Entrust - Shout + USB
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse

    Fenrir (v1)
    Celes - Blizzaga Strike | R2 Snowspell - BSB2
    Snow - LS - BSB (Replaced by Ayame BSB)
    Alphinaud - Curaja | Chain Blizzaga - DT (Replaced by Zell)
    Ramza - Entrust - Shout + USB (He doesn't even entrust in v2)
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse (v2 Curada | Protectga)

    Golem (Fuck this guy)
    Fujin - Wrath | R2 Raging Storm - BSB (FYI, you can bring 5 ninjas, one being Edge with SSB Last Stand, all with R3 Raging Storm and you can get really damn close to kill him in 20 seconds)
    Emperor - R2 Meltdown - BSB
    Krile - R3 Tiamat | R5 Vaelfor - Sheepsong + All the animals SSB
    Ramza - Entrust - USB
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse

    Hydra
    Bartz - LS | R2 Quake Strike - OSB
    Zell - LS | R3 Meteor Crush - BSB
    Alphinaud - R2 Meltdown | R4 Giant Chocobo - DT (Optioned in Lvl 80 Guy for a run, imperil SSB, LS | R4 Piercing Strike)
    Ramza - Entrust - USB + Shout
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse

    Bismarck
    TGCid - LS | Dark Bargain - OSB
    Celes - Thundering Twinstrike - Indom Blade
    Barret - Entrust - Imperil Lightning SB - Ace Striker (No need to triple imperil. Sure it gives TGC damage cap, but it was better to toss gauge to TGC)
    Ramza - Entrust - USB + Shout
    Ysh - Curada | Wrath - BSB + Pulse

    I've managed to get under 1 min on all of them, but none close to under 30 seconds. No imperils aside from some that might be from magicite, don't know which ones they are cause I don't use them.

    All my accessories are moderate/major resist to the respective element.

    Fire - Ysh/Eiko BSB, Ramza SSB, Tidus CSB, Bartz USB
    Spoiler: show




    Wind - All BSB's
    Spoiler: show




    Water - Ysh/Eiko BSB, Ramza SSB, TGC OSB, Noct OSB
    Spoiler: show




    Earth - All BSB's
    Spoiler: show




    Ice - All BSB's + Vivi OSB
    Spoiler: show




    Lightning - All BSB's. Bartz BSB3 + USB
    Spoiler: show
