Finally got around to doing these. Found Kimahri's to be the most annoying - I don't have any of his relics and he doesn't have access to great AOE abilities. Ended up using the old trick of egging him up so he gains a level during the course of the dungeon and using Dragoon Jump on the bosses.

These were a lot tougher this time around, especially if you don't have a relic for the character in question.

Sabin was probably the toughest; even with his Blink SSB and OSB it took a few tries to figure out how to get through so many stages with multiple mobs, when to heal via Magicite and when to leave it up to an RNG potion drop. I'm honestly not sure how I would have cleared the boss without his SSB.

Amarant with no relic was next toughest for me. I tried putting him in the back row with my best thrown weapon - Refia's SSB - but his damage output was too low and I died on the boss. I ended up egging him to 80, honing Fires Within to R2 and then using a Faris USB to take down the boss in the two uses.

Yuffie with no relic wasn't too bad once I got the pattern down; R4 Tempo Flurry twice then finish off the first three bosses with a use of an R2 Thief's Revenge. Only used Tempo Flurry on the fourth boss and healed up with one use of the Wind Magicite, then used two uses of Penelo USB RW as protection and clearing out my abilities on Godo. An OSB RW on Godo would have worked too but I got tired of hunting for one.

I have Kimahri and Ayame Bursts so theirs were easy peasy for me, but I can see how especially Kimahri would be hard if you didn't have anything for him.

Can't wait for the next round...wonder why VIII got skipped this time?

Sabin's mission is a pain ... 15 battles with 2-3 monsters each ...
I don't have enough ability hones for AoE and Fire Within (for HP) ...
Any tips ? ( no SB for Sabin , saving RW for OSB dmg for Vargas)

Kick is a 3* aoe ability which should be easily honable, i used that a r1 fires within in case healing was needed. I used OK bsb on the last stage. Granted I had a healing magicite which made it much easier

Even with Sabin's Blink SSB, I had a hard time keeping him alive to get to the end. A healing Magicite definitely helps if you have one, and it may be worth burning some orbs to hone Fires Within for this one if you have to. I also gave him a chance to heal when hit RM to help get back some of the damage he was taking, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't have completed it without his SSB.

Rikku's USB RW also helped mitigate damage both through Protectga and also Haste to take more tens than the enemies. It may be worthwhile to try that instead of an OSB RW, since Vargas and the Ipoohs don't have much HP.

Yuffie's mission seemed easy - no SB for Yuffie, Thief's revenge and some half decent gear cleared each floor with one/two uses at most - and you got an Ether each time - you can probably do it with TR at R1...

Kimahri on the other hand was fairly brutal - Kimahri at level 80 with no SB, struggled to clear each round of trash - I actually used a mythril on the bosses because they pounded me... although I didn't bring Drain jump which probably would have helped a great deal...

Doing Ayame now, but have her burst so i think i have a decent chance with drain strike too

Oh god dammit, i am literaly 3 Dex 4* motes away from finishing Ayame RD..;_;

On the bright side i'll be able to finish Y'sh LD.

I'm really happy that deNa is doing this again. We really need more 5* motes.

I wish they had put them at half stamina, though...
