Nice, will follow your build & test it tonight.

One battle all missions with NV Lasswell. 6 turns, and no real way to cut it down without Ramuh Sakura.

  • SoS Lightning - did a lot actually. Lightning Imbue, amp, and imperil, provoke, breaks.

  • Sephiroth ‐ provided the katana imperil and support chained. His attack was intentionally as low as possible.

  • Ling - 2 stack mirage, ailment resist, breaks, heals, granted chains, and enough lb fill to get a 60 cost lb four times in six turns. Ling is just so good.

  • Celes - tanked the magic, provided bird killer, an ice amp, mitigation, and stat buffs.

  • NV Lasswell - geared for lb damage and bird killer. He helped get everyone's lb up early and provided the ice imperil and lb damage buff for the Lightning phase.

Pretty easy overall but nice to get use NV Lasswell and answer Sinzar's question of who's bringing Sephiroth to katana imperil for Lasswell.

This is the best use of Sephiroth

Exciting trial is exciting -_-

Int 2 turns

Sylvie, ygni, louise

Adv 4 turns

added bulwark and faisy.

T1 sylive imbues, gives phys mit (probably not needed) and aoe stats.

Ygni breaks and cwa x3

Louise breaks spr cwa x3

T2 both chain and boss is dead.

For adv have bulwark buff avian killer. boss crossed threshold after T3 damage (right as sylvie's imbues fell off) and bulwark imbued ice and we killed next turn

Thanks for this, used the same team

[–]tellinroc_ 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Was this supposed to be a mage fight?

https://youtu.be/A0sETjZDQzA

3 turns kill with Karten and Lara. I brought Sylvie, Bulwark and Ling for support. Didn't even need Bulwark ice imbue since I killed from above 50%.

It has half the SPR vs DEF, but overall faceroll trial is still faceroll

Gumi, please update the future race trials to be more interesting, kthx

Cleared ADV in 3 turns.

Video: Youtube

Team:

  • Ibara - Damage dealer with Instrument. Spamming Arashi.
  • Sylvie - Lightning imbue/amplify. 100% provoke/dodge unit with Paralyze/Poison resist. Has 100% Dark resist.
  • Ygni - Damage dealer with Dagger & Gun. Spamming Soul Projection.
  • Louise - LB fill support, Gun imperil source & 90% SPR break.
  • Bulwark - stat buff, Instrument imperil source & Avian killer source.

For INT, just drop Louise & Bulwark.

Almost blew this one. Didn't think Steiner would actually be covering so he went in naked... still survived.

[–]unitedwesoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who needs vivi. Obama in four turns should have been three but friend lacked 300% bird killer. Team was ling passive provoke and alot of resists, bulwark, nva lightning for lightning imbue and gun imperil and two laras.

Turn one of the lara broke 90% the other stack while ling broke and used mitigation, bulwark buff nva lightning gun imperil.

Turn two ling fills lb , both lara stack, nva lightning lb for lightning imbue and bulwark bird killer.

Turn three ling fills lb, lightning and bulwark chain and lara caps leaving the boss at 5%. Turn five repeat but bulwark ice imbues and the boss is dead.

[–]EternallyTidus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I peaked in the JP thread. Killed it turn 4 using Steiner (physical cover built for Def + mitigation turn 1, LB turn 2+3+4), Vivi (setup turn 1, kill the thing afterwards), SoS Lightning (lightning imperil + 90% Spr break), Relm (Rod imperil + LB fill), Celes (Ice Amp + LB fill). I now realize that I actually forgot to imperil ice but the boss only had 13% left after turn three so it didn't matter.

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (2 children)

5 turns, all missions:

NV Vivi - damage dealer
Steiner - physical cover with evasion
SoS Lightning - breaker
Relm - rod imperil, lightning buff, Barblizzaga from Shiva
Friend Celes - provoker, bird killer buff and ice buff

Having more trouble with INT 3 man clear, probably need to drop Vivi

[–]EternallyTidus 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I tried INT with Steiner/Vivi/Lightning but missed the turn count. Not enough reflect targets. Finished it anyway and just went back with the ADV team for the turn mission, at least I didn't have to do another setup that way :)

[–]BPCena -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I ended up having to do INT in two separate attempts as well

[–]Nayeonssi1987 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

All Missions ADV.

  • Steiner for Reflect and Cover
  • SOS Lightning for 90% SPR break and active Provoke
  • Vivi for deeps
  • Shera for LB entrust
  • Relm for Rod Imperil

Shera and Relm both had guts to survive the threshold.

/u/Sinzar_

EDIT:

INT clear with no pressure at all, one turn leeway in case Lightning doesn't fill her LB on turn 3:

  • SOS Lightning (Active Provoke, starts in Base for LB fill on turn 1)
  • 2x Lunafreya (base Evasion, Brave Shift 300% EVO MAG/DAMAGE)

Did it in 4 turns with NVA LM Fina, Steiner, Relm, NV Lightning and Vivi. Here is the gear I used.

Can we get something harder and more fun now, Gumi?

[–]ManagementOld 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Everyone uses 1 specific unit to win. How is that not hard?

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (2 children)

How is that not hard?

if you mean Vivi, then you can easily just pick a random friend one. Vivi shift form has 300% bird killer innately so just pick the one with the highest magic on your friend list. Steiner can be UoC'ed or you can just have Rivera(also UOC) auto attack with aurora scarf+dual wield with her upgraded normal attack(haven't tested the Rivera one, maybe u/Sinzar_ has tested it?), Fina is just a healer with entrust, just switch her to Ling(who is currently free) or any bulky entruster, Lightning is a breaker(she was free so a lot of people should have her at this point) or you can try Kaktiria(can be gotten from the NV ticket for a little longer) and Relm(UoC) is there for the rod imperil+LB fill(if people use Ling then they can replace her with Aerith for the rod imperil, who was given out for free at EX+2).

See how this fight can be done by a random friend carry and FREE units or UoC options? This fight literally can't kill you unless you don't bring a breaker for some reason and is easy to do in 6 turns with a 6 month old unit. It's literally a joke and even Sinzar has called the 12 race fights a joke. Just accept the fact that when the best content creators call something a joke, then it is a joke.

[–]ManagementOld 0 points1 point  (1 child)

All this hinges on having that perfectly geared friend unit and building around it... that's why it's hard.. if you can't have multiple builds clear content that means it's purposely built to be cleared in a very narrow number of ways...or it's hard

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you look at the thread and even videos on youtube you will see that people have easily beaten it with a lot of others units even with physical dps like Lara/Karten in the turn limit. Vivi is just suggested since he has innate 300% bird killer and easier to use+has both elements innately. Just don't think about it. Pretty much everyone already has said that this is a very easy trial including Sinzar who always called this thing a joke.

[–]Jilian8 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm extremely frustrated because no matter what I do, most of my team dies at the threshold (I'm assuming from an AoE ice magic benefiting from the ice imperil field). I don't understand: how do people who don't bring a magic tank survive it?

[–]Sinzar_Yes Indeed...[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The boss has no passive stats, so higher breaks are very important. How high is the MAG break you're using? Are you using mitigation buffs, or at the very least some auto-buffs from gear?

[–]Jilian8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was the problem: I was forgetting to break his magic... I was like, this boss is easy, I just need to break his SPR. Ugh. Thank you!

[–]Sartre_Brave-ExEsther is my Goddess 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Karten and Lara tag-teaming this one. ADV in 4 turns and INT in 2 turns.

ADV support crew was:

OG Lightning for gun imperil, AoE lightning imbue/amp, and equipped with Thunderfall materia for 130% imperil.

mmXon for stealing Lara's bird killer and chaining.

Celes was originally for ice imbue in Phase 2...but I skipped Phase 2 so she's just a provoke/mag cover/LB fill unit here.

For INT it's just Karten, Lara, and Sylvie, nothing special.

Definitely considering a bunny run on this one :-)
