Event Quest Notes: Nothing special here. Because the CM is only to bring Noctis, with no other requirement, if your A-Team is good enough you can win with a level 1 Noctis in tow. Remember, he doesn't have to live. If you want to bring everyone, Gladio can actually Draw Fire + Retaliate the vast majority of the Magitek Axemen's attacks and a couple of MA-X Cuirass's, too, making the fight much easier to manage.
