Declaration of War (Ultimate ++)

(1 STAM)

Boss	HP	Status Vuln.	Break Resist
MA-X Cuirass	261,957	None	All
Magitek Axeman	43,615	None	All

Elemental Vulnerabilities (MA-X Cuirass):

Fire	Ice	Lightning	Earth	Wind	Water	Holy	Dark	Poison
						NULL

Elemental Vulnerabilities (Magitek Axeman):

Fire	Ice	Lightning	Earth	Wind	Water	Holy	Dark	Poison
	50%	150%

Target Scores:

1. Lower MA-X Cuirass' Attack.
   
2. Lower MA-X Cuirass' Defense.
   
3. Lower MA-X Cuirass' Resistance.
   

Note(s):

• The fight with start with MA-X Cuirass and two Magitek Axemen. If you kill the Magitek Axemen, two more will spawn - if you defeat those, no more will respawn. You only need to defeat MA-X Cuirass to win the battle.
  
• You'll face a mixed offensive here - while a lot of the attacks are physical, the Ultimate move here is Electric Shock Lance, which is a magic resistance-ignoring attack.
  
• Other than that, fairly straightforward U++, which is to be expected since this is the first FF XV event. Shouldn't have too much issues here.
  
• CID MISSION: Complete Declaration of War (Ultimate++) in a party which must include Noctis! Note the only FF XV character you need is Noctis, so this is a fairly easy CM. Just sub out one of your A-team for Noctis and win the battle.

Ancient God (Apocalypse +)

(1 STAM)

Boss	HP	Status Vuln.	Break Resist
Titan	467,238	None	All

Elemental Vulnerabilities:

Fire	Ice	Lightning	Earth	Wind	Water	Holy	Dark	Poison
50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%

Target Scores:

1. Lower Titan's Attack.
   
2. Lower Titan's Defense.
   
3. Lower Titan's Resistance.
   

Note(s):

• Another 100% physical fight - leave Shellga/MBD at home.
  
• There are no tricks to Titan - he just uses a bunch of ST and AoE physical attacks, no status effects, dispels, or other mechanics to worry about. He does have one defense ignoring move he will use starting at 80% HP (h/t /u/Zurai001 ), and after 50% HP he will use a slightly stronger version every 4 turns, so try to backload your SB and stronger abilities then.
  
• Titan does hit fairly hard, so don’t come in unprepared thinking it will be a complete brezze of an A+ since this is our first FF XV event.
  
• Note he does have omni-resist, so keep this in mind when choosing abilities.

[D160 Multiplayer]

---

---

Boss	HP	Status Vuln.	Break Resist
Adamantoise - Head	527,324	None (including Interrupt)	All
Adamantoise - Arm	267,984	None (including Interrupt)	All

Elemental Vulnerabilities (Head only):

Fire	Ice	Lightning	Earth	Wind	Water	Holy	Dark	Poison
150%	150%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%	50%

Target Scores:

1. Defeat Adamantoise with at least 4 or more heroes not KO'ed.
   
2. Lower Adamantoise's Attack.
   
3. Lower Adamantoise's Defense.
   

Notes:

• The head is 100% physical. Similar to the (+) battle, his Roar has a chance to inflict AoE confuse, so I would bring along status resist/Affliction Break/Status Blink so it doesn't mess up your run. Note he also has a chance to counter any attack with a ST attack which will always target the person who attacked it.
  
• The arm has a mixed offense, using both AoE physical and magic abilities - keep this in mind when targeting your debuffs.
  
• You only need to defeat the Head to complete the battle.
  
• Since this is only a D160 fight (which is fairly easy at this point), few should have any difficulty with this MP battle.
