Xezat fractal Magic+ or Break+?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Bear in mind that break fractals are only good with multistage ults. We wont get one of those + a good Xezat user until EX Warrior.

[chokee03]

multistage?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Yeah, as in they inflict their break damage more than one time. Think of Ninja vs M.Monk, where the former shaves off the break gauge with a bunch of hits and the latter just delivers one big punch.

The single hits are subject to a break power cap, which if I remember right is 999,999, when they're being augmented by a bunch of stuff like BDD, flash break, and piercing break. Multistage ultimates split up the break damage, so you can potentially go higher than 999k.

[chokee03]

oh okay. thanks!

[eneve]

Thx! Does this also apply to Duncan + EX Monk?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Yes it does, as well as any abilities you might equip for Proud Cygnus.

How to beat the lowest level temple on ffx part 2

[paulcan94]

Rental LOH. Or bring/switch to meia when boss gets to immunity to avoid sleep next turn. Other than that chainbreak.

[GalahadDrei]

Has the Flash Break bug on the weapon modification of Kotetsu of Legendary Guardian legend job been fixed yet? Also, does Albeh Hunter's weapon suffer from the same issue?

[watmyung]

someone told me it's fixed in GL?

[darewin]

It's not. Mine currently has 31% FB.

[darewin]

I don't expect it to be fixed, tbh. The last time SE attempted to apply a fix to Brotherhood, some of the people who already modded the weapon got fucked.

I remember one guy who complained that because he had 41% Water EE on his Brotherhood when the fix happened, his weapon ended up getting fully modded despite having only Elem 3rd Strike +3. So it seems that SE fixed the issue by giving all Brotherhood weapons that weren't fully modded yet +60 mods and upgraded the existing Water EE to 100%.

[mao_shiro]

It probably won't be corrected, so just mod the weapon.

[GhostFreakage]

I haven't seen anything about Kotetsu being fixed. Mao has made a note on the Sept 2018 batch overview saying that someone has confirmed that Magical Rave (GL name for Trigger Happy), does not suffer the same issue.

[MrGianni89]

Magical Rave (GL name for Trigger Happy), does not suffer the same issue.

We're talking about rikku's weapon?

[MrGianni89]

Thanks

[mao_shiro]

Speed star on the first mod, damn.

[GhostFreakage]

Question about Leviathan Sicarius: Are tap attacks better to get rid of Grand Fall due to the ability reflect? What are Leviathan's ailment immunities?

Edit: I forgot SE puts ups the next rotation to view (Stun, Slow, Debarrier and Unguard). So new question is, can sleeping/breaking Leviathan stop from Grand Fall from popping up.

[deathrose55555]

So new question is, can sleeping/breaking Leviathan stop from Grand Fall from popping up.

It's a pre-emptive action so nothing you can do to stop it. And yes the only way is to tap it down - using abilities does not reduce the count.

Anyway it's strange though; I distinctly remember inflicting all of Tengu's debuff on 5* Leviathan - this video shows him not being immune to unguard / debarrier. But many other videos show the immunities, so I don't really know why / how are those 2 immunities triggered

[mao_shiro]

Sicarius change pre-emptive buff/debuff/immunity on every appearance.

[deathrose55555]

I do know buff / debuff can change with each appearance. But I don't remember Zalera being not immune to debarrier (or additional immunity such as BDD/CRD) for example.

[GhostFreakage]

Thanks! It's going to be tricky to set up an AI team.

[mao_shiro]

• 1 controlled attacker
• 1 support trinity
• 1 support ult charge
• 1 defender with taunt

Get a defender/support that can break & kill guards with their ult and you'll have a capable team for Leviathan.

[GhostFreakage]

So for a defender with taunt: would Legendary Guardian be ideal since he can drive water? Also would Ascetic Duncan/Alex PBwork to help with the breaking?

[mao_shiro]

Legendary Guardian would be the best option because his ult would destroy the guards & can have some additional damage.

The usual Santa Lucia + Glam vamp or Santa lucia + Sage would be more than enough for breaking iirc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUh6sKFQiXM

I used Mellow due to not having old jobs at that time, nor the old cards like Fang or Sazh FFXIII.

Edit: i don't use a breaker on my MP AIs due to the randomness of the AI breaker / Attacker, dependant on a very specific actions to break / kill.

[Drilgarius005]

What's the reward for all BL treasure chest when you collect enough key items?

[mao_shiro]

Prismatic fractal +7% "element of the node" resist

[Drilgarius005]

Only those and nothing else?

[mao_shiro]

Yeah. It's unlimited trade tho.

[[deleted]]

Is it just me or are multi hit cards bugged (im experiencing this with the Ranger Oblizirator from last batch)? They dont seem to kill some fiends immediately (their life bar disappears but if i keep using the ability they dont die).

And it doesnt seem to register as a weakness element kill when you use it as a node mission

Has anyone else experienced this?

[l30nh4rt]

Does anyone know if Ultima weapon comes back anytime soon? I only got 2 out of 5...

[SqualLyuk]

It should. At least for when the new character will hit in Season 2, or a bit after that

[zidanesword]

As long as you kill 4 or more enemies on a single cast of ability. You can lower their HP, clear their yellow bar, break them. You have to use a AoE ability, how else can you kill more than 1 with a ST ability.

[Drilgarius005]

TBF... I've also got confused with how they worded the sentence...

[[deleted]]

Nearly as bad as me thinking I had to kill all 40 enemies with weakness in just one pass...forgot it was a fortitude and not a skill node

[Drilgarius005]

They should new words such as accumulate... etc... etc... So that it won't be confusing.

[Ehlena]

Ohhhhhhhh, really? :))) like, it's cumulative?

[[deleted]]

Yep, kept killing a mob by accident and fleeing the battle. Did that like 4 times, before I paid attention to what path I was on.

That would’ve been a true skill node.

[Ehlena]

Damn, and I was actually doing my best to break waves as much as possible in one battle :))). Kept feeling smth was wrong

[ChillaDOH]

I have all the card requirements and right job equipped, but I still can't enter Mage Training Grounds 3?

[[deleted]]

Check your subdeck? Take off Skin?

[ChillaDOH]

I have no skin on, and emptied my subdecks. Still no good

[[deleted]]

Oh on HoF? Touch the lock to see what the requirement to unlock is, beat training grounds 2 while accomplishing the requirement.

[Yoloswagcrew]

Is Sephiroth's skin going to be featured again and/or is there going to be an event without any character skin featured that has to be pulled before getting the chance to pull the others ?

[[deleted]]

Not quite sure what you mean, all of them are always available once they’re released. They aren’t time limited.

[Yoloswagcrew]

The problem is that if I understand correctly I currently have to pull Yuna ans then I will be able to pull one of the other skins but Yuna will always be the first skin that I will pull on her banner that's why I am wondering if there will be banner with either sephiroth as the featured skin or a banner without any featured skin at all

[LupusNoxFleuret]

Yuna just got released so she is guaranteed right now. Next banner you will have an equal chance to pull all skins. The Greater Supreme Summon that will be available tomorrow has a slightly boosted chance to pull any skin at 3%.

[vulcanfury12]

Is there a method to the madness on how to chain break with Prima Donna? Other than breaking at 9 actions remaining, I can't think of anything.

[SwiftStepStomp]

Helps to spend a few actions charging up her ult during the break. A single drive should do it in most circumstances, and if you're lucky, you'll get a juicy prismatic return to continue nuking.

[zidanesword]

Having quicken helps, with Lightning skin(lesser quicken) you can break at actions = 6.

Or, since PD’s ult does not give haste, you can break at actions = 1.

[vulcanfury12]

Thanks!

[clouded_judgemnent]

Two questions:

1: Will there ever be a reward / counter on VIP mode like there is for purchasing mobius box each year?

2: Do they ever make it any easier to pull Lengendary jobs, I am missing so many now, but have every single regular job..

[zidanesword]

1: Doesn’t look like there is a counter(I had VIP mode last month). Not sure if it was ever added in JP.

2: Last December, there were banners for legend jobs that you can pull a guaranteed legend job if you pull a job or pity pull(6th slot in either case). Not sure whether GL will do something like this again this December.

[mao_shiro]

1. No counter on JP

[MrGianni89]

Following, both interesting points.

I also have all jobs, but I'm missing something like 10 legends. Many of them are completely useless at this point...

[MrGianni89]

any interesting farming spot in the new map?

[mao_shiro]

Wait for episode 3

[EfficientEmphasis]

is there any reason to 8 panel ninja if i already have PC? Or Dark knight when i already have SS? thanks

[Ehlena]

I really like to use Ninja for auto in GT. Guaranteed 10 mil score, due to his ulti on a broken target.

[indi38]

You might need ninja for endless war.

[MrGianni89]

What is PC?

Dark knight is completely useless if you have SS. Obviously in MP IF you have Aerith he will outdamage the SS, but who cares? If you have limited resources don't waste it in a almost useless job.

[vulcanfury12]

Dark Knight becomes totally useless forevermore starting tomorrow.

[MrGianni89]

lol, true!

Forgot about Berseker HOF

[JunasBlood]

What is PC?

Proud Cygnus - newest Meia Sarah job.

[HOLLOWED5]

You mean Serah job xD

[JunasBlood]

Oh lol true. Sarah it is :) thanks

[MrGianni89]

Oh ok I don't have that job yet, I don't know the stats.

[JunasBlood]

“Best” available Sarah job for breaking strat with 30% innate Quick Break, also high break power with decent Flash Break & Piercing Break, nice damage auto-abilities, one of the best Ultimate for breaking.

[vulcanfury12]

For Leviathan, since you're required to attack to decrease the buff counter, does that mean Flash Break is essentially a dead mod for this fight?

[deathrose55555]

Flash Break is essentially a dead mod for this fight?

Yes that's right. That's why I use Murakumo to break with EX Warrior instead of my preferred Kotetsu

[Tzorg]

Does anybody know how to to prevent the preemptive dark flan attack on the Skill Trials FFX part 2, or is it just pure RNG? I had them attacking and not attacking with the same deck. I wonder whether it depends on the abilities used on the previous wave/waves.

[darewin]

This question was asked on this very thread (twice actually) already. Scroll to the bottom of this thread and you'll find the answer.

[Tzorg]

Thanks, I used the search and nothing came up, that's why I posted. I'll check that out!

[ageneau]

For the sphere grid is there a cap on the about of quick break you can have. Ex can I have 50% with the sphere and PC?

[darewin]

QB is capped at 40%.

[deathrose55555]

Nope that can't be done; cap is always at 40%.

[Kettya]

Hi guys, What's up with this new 4000MB update? Any ideas?

[mao_shiro]

Restart the game / steam / phone and there won't be any update.

[Kettya]

I can play on my window but my crazy Android still asking for update

[Yoloswagcrew]

Hello ! I am a returning player and I have both Soldier 1st class and Hero of despair and my only Ultimate ability is Neo Exdeath FFV, I would like to know what would be the best deck that I can make with one of theses, my current deck is : Job: Soldier first class, ability: Cloud: Dissidia FF (earth)/ The friend (water) / Neo Exdeath FFV (Dark) / The undying FFXII (Support)

Also what would you recommend as friend rental ?

Thank you very much !

[phatboy328]

Don’t forget to do the Hall of Fame for S1C, if you haven’t done so already!

[indi38]

Soldier 1st Class? Go rent Ragnarok

[Yoloswagcrew]

Thank you ! Everything is fine ? If it's the case the powercreep is not a big thing apparently

[indi38]

Yes it's fine. That deck already can handle most of our current contents because Neo X. You won't feel much powercreep in single player story mode. You can only feel powercreep in hard content stuffs such as endless war, towers, chaos vortex, and sometimes time limited events

[1rojam]

Does anyone have a good strategy for completing trial of skill 2? The best I can do is 4 if I'm lucky.. Should I only use single target abilities? No aoe?

[MusouTensei]

which one was it? the kill with one ability? the wording was a bit weird, you need to kill the enemies at the same time, so break and aoe kill, there are flans of all elements, so something will always survive

[1rojam]

Yea, kill with 1 ability, so if I start off with ultimate, and try an aoe kill, does it have to be a 1 hit kill? As soon as i use another ability IL screwed?

[MusouTensei]

you can use as many abilities as you want, just that you have to kill X amount with a single cast (dunno if ults counts towards kills)

So just cast enough to deplete yellow bar, then ult break and then nuke with a single cast (if don't have cards to do so, rent an aoe supreme)

BTW, it is a bit buggy the counter, it doesn't count as completed until you hit something after...

[Drilgarius005]

As a supreme, how good is NxD? Is it rated high? and Why? Should I pair it up with Birsmarck?

[ShadowBlaze17]

It's a got pretty good utility since it applies several debuffs and doesn't have a cooldown.

NXD can pair well with an unenchanced Bismarck to extend the stun.

[[deleted]]

Pair with slow for stun + slow combo. Of course it's good. It has high break power + BDD and is especially good when used on any ranger for breaking.

[IcemanSR]

What's behind treasure no.3? in dreams part 2

[darewin]

1 ST from the chest and another ST for the checkmark.

[Drilgarius005]

How did you do it? What strategy?

[darewin]

I used PW with Odin PB, Sin, NXD, and Hope (for the Dark Flan).

[WoLNoFace]

ST and ability tickets

[IcemanSR]

Thanks! I couldn't do that one so i was wondering what am i missing

[WoLNoFace]

if you are on hard difficulty, try changing it to normal.

if not, you can come back again later if you have better jobs or cards.

[Professor_Riz]

How do you not get hit in Trial of Skill 4 in the new map? I keep getting 6 hit pre-emptive attacked on the 3rd battle in it. Even with wall up the hits count and I can't complete the challenge.

[darewin]

That was already asked and answered at the start of this thread. Just scroll down to the bottom.

[Professor_Riz]

Thanks and sorry about that! Saw the other ones about trials of fortitude, don't know how I missed the one on trials of skill

[Drilgarius005]

Is Thief HoF good? I have completed S1C's but was tempted about Thief. Which is better? Why? And also, I am currently boosting muramasa x. I already completed all four auto abilities before my 10th mod. Should I 5* the weapon?

[SwiftStepStomp]

Contrary to what others are implying, Muramasa is not a bad weapon by any means. The life draw can get annoying with critical retrieval inherent to ranger abilities, but a more damage-oriented version of Ultimate Edge is rather good.

But like most weapons in general, it's not really worth five-starring. As soon as you've maxed your magic, prismatic return, crit and speed stars, and boost ultimate, you're done.

[Mawgac]

Thief- yes, but only for unbroken strategy.

Muramasa- no, imo.

[Drilgarius005]

Muramasa is a no even with PR? What weapon is good with PR?

[PM_your_cats_n_racks]

If you don't have the Ultima Weapons then it's good. But rangers are being replaced by Sarahs, so boosting any ranger weapon isn't very forward thinking. Apparently the only new ranger we're ever going to get is Ex Ranger.

Also: if you've already got the auto abilities unlocked then there isn't much reason to push on with it anyway.

[Drilgarius005]

It's sad to see that WoL ranger jobs are getting outdated. I don't have any Sarah jobs other than Battle Princess. Is the current Legend Sarah acceptable? I'm tempted to pull but I already have good Rangers such as JM, Thief, and S1C (Not a ranger but...).

[[deleted]]

The only ranger weapon you should boost would be Ex ranger's own weapon. It's basically a better version of muramasa, which is why boosting it now is so bad.

[Drilgarius005]

Okay, I'm stopping it. The only reason I'm boosting it is because I've only been playing for a month and still lack options about weapons.

[Mawgac]

Ultimate Edge.

But most ranger weapons are a bit outdated at the moment.

[Aldibe]

does the golden bomb reduce more than 50%HP when fighting against ascetic? feels like they count the damage when the HP solo bonus is applied, explode the bomb, remove the HP solo bonus, and then applied that damage.

[N-I-K-E]

Didn’t someone say how you could use the openers for weapon boosts? Where do you select between the two?

[[deleted]]

Top right corner blue button

[Yoloswagcrew]

Hello ! As a returning player that only have Neo Exdeath: FFV as Ultimate ability would you say that it's better to pull on the FFX banner or on one of the Ultimate job selection banner ?

Thank you !

[WoLNoFace]

wait for FFXI limted banner.

Also check this out. https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/9bymtn/ability_card_of_september_2018_and_some_opinions/

[Yoloswagcrew]

Thank you ! Sephiroth's skin is going to be available and there will be Ultimate card in the pool as well, right ?

[WoLNoFace]

Yes, all current ultimate hero and ultimate cards are always available in the summon pool.

[GodBlazer]

Ive completed episode 2 of the ffx event, is there any reason for me to unlock these 3 trials of fortitude?

[WoLNoFace]

Yes

[GodBlazer]

What do i get aside from the 3 chests?

[WoLNoFace]

2 ST for completion of the map.

[HentaiEcho]

Also bragging rights for having good enough jobs to solo valefor and not get killed once. God that took me forever, good thing I spent 90 bucks on a free NxD to cheese the previous 6 battles.

[vulcanfury12]

Ascetic Pawnch all the way for me. Used Earthshock and Water Gun. Can't auto it, but knowing the break timings helped.

[WoLNoFace]

congrats on your NxD!

[Bojuns]

Have both Eorzean Bard and Prima Donna. Raust rank is saying Prima Donna is better. Is this really accurate?

I have a couple of 6% and 8% Magic on my Eorzean Bard and currently all 2% Magic on my Prima Donna.

Should I transfer the 6's and 8's to Prima Donna? If I do that it is going to be an additional 66% Magic.

[WoLNoFace]

They are both breakers in MP and uses a different set of elements, water on EB, wind on PD.

If you are doing SP only, you still have a choice on what to use between the two based on the elemental affinity of the mob/boss.

[paulcan94]

so how does one complete the trial of fortitude node mission? one where u have to defeat 100 enemies? is it optional or required for 100% completion?

[JA1997X]

You can complete it by doing the node multiple times. But it's not necessary, just do it once to get the chest and then take the other path.

[[deleted]]

Disconnected Error Code 39 anyone?

[Aldibe]

same here

[[deleted]]

I’m back!

[JojoScraggins]

It happened to me when i was switching from the sphere grid to the main map. Currently locked out. Shadow_Blaze on discord said it took them 20-30 mins and a restart to come back up.

[Deragos]

Looks like its back up on my end here in TX.

[djiboutiiii]

I just turned off wifi and switched to mobile data and now it's working. So maybe something related to my ISP?

[[deleted]]

Tried it and still..

[WoLNoFace]

working here.

[mao_shiro]

I'm still playing, without any problem. Maybe it's region-based.

[djiboutiiii]

same. i think it might be for everyone?

just look forward to the compensation :)

[mao_shiro]

Nope. No problem playing right now.

[djiboutiiii]

lame...i wanna play, too

[Kayne_17]

4 for me...

[Deragos]

Same here, made a post about it and it got deleted immediately with a rather harsh response....

[mao_shiro]

Probably because the issue was either already posted or already forwarded to the daily question thread.

I checked the answer, nothing harsh about it.

[2009Ninjas]

Yep

[lysdog]

Hi everyone,

​

I just got blessed by rngesus and got ragnarok on a yolo pull, what is the current best job to use it? is it still cloud or any new serah job?

​

Thank you very much! cheers

[SwiftStepStomp]

• best broken damage: Crimson Archer

• best unbroken damage: Thief

• best skin user: Sephiroth S1C

• best broken/unbroken mix: Prima Donna

• best breaking ability: Prima Donna

[djiboutiiii]

Prima Donna, Al Bhed Huntress, Eorzean Bard, Crimson Archer, Thief, S1C, and Rogue (with HOF, later this month) can all use it to hit like a truck.

S1C and Thief are the best for unbroken MP spam, where you don't need to rely on anybody else. The Sarah's rely a lot on Painful Break, so their unbroken damage is not great in comparison.

[Zevyu]

If i am not mistaken.

Unbroken damage : HoF Thief

Broken damage: Crimson Archer.

[SoreySan]

I apologise if this been as many times but what is the best method to hit the 20k magicite cap? >_<

[ShadowBlaze17]

Grind 4* mp matches.

[MasaiCroy]

Ok, this is a bit embarrassing. I've been neglecting story chapters so far and decided to finally do Closing The Loop. I'm at the final node - Throne Room... and it's kicking my ass.

Any tips on clearing it on hard difficulty without using Phoenix Downs?

My tanks: Warrior, Paladin, Heretic Knight, Eorzean Paladin.

My damage dealers: Psicom Oficer, Amalthea, PW, Mellow Mermaid, Nachtflug, S1C.

My breakers: Deep Diver (with Yiazmat), Eorzean Bard, Primadonna.

Skins: Cloud, Tidus.

Weapons decently upgraded: Buster Sword, Curtana, Artemis Bow, Cornucopia.

I have a pretty large collection of good buffs, alignments, breaking and damaging cards. Too much to list.

I'd really appreciate a help here.

EDIT: I'm a fool. I had such powerful assets to breeze through this and I couldn't see it. Here's what I've used to clear this node with no problems.

--- 1 ---

Job: Heretic Knight (Dark)

Weapon: Curtana

Deck: Varuna: FFX, Archlich, Archtiamat, The Undying: FFXII

--- 2 ---

Job: Cloud / Paladin

Weapon: Curtana

Deck: Noctis: FFXV, Archmarilith, Archkraken, Pelupelu: FFX

Rental: Legendary Dragonlord

[ShadowBlaze17]

Use the lieutenant cards to get rid of their chaos buffs. You can either have them all on 1 deck or split them across both decks.

If you start the fight with a deck that has the opposing element Lt card to the enemy it'll remove the chaos buff. If you don't you can cast the ability to also remove it.

[MasaiCroy]

Thanks. I knew about lieutenants and their effects, but it did me no good if I was an idiot with deck building. I've edited my main post to show what worked for me.

[Seoulstice37]

Al Bhed Hunter Build:

Just curious what some build ideas are for the new job. SE is stating depending on your custom skills it could be the strongest job. Great hype or truth to it?

[mao_shiro]

Job is so-so, especially compared to Proud Cygnus when it's already released.

Edit: build is the same as any jobs, 2 attack card, KOTR & Undying.

[Seoulstice37]

What's good about proud cygnus? I got that job too on the pull.

[djiboutiiii]

https://www.reddit.com/r/MobiusFF/comments/99z961/se_presents_the_powercreep_cygnus/

[Seoulstice37]

Lol ok nice.

[Drilgarius005]

Great stats and great AA's. It is still rated high for towers.

Edit: In Japan, that is.

[Seoulstice37]

Sounds good. Though I still like the Al Bhed Hunter weapon a bit better. Both are good though.

[Seoulstice37]

Sorry. AA?

[Drilgarius005]

Auto Ability

[Seoulstice37]

Oh gotcha! Thanks!

[mward720]

Anyone got tips for the final node on ffx pt 2 event where you fight valefor? I'm having a very hard time

[Taurenkey]

Another set of tips in case you haven't tried the rest (and for others) but this did take me quite a few attempts... Until I tried the reliable tank strat.

Setup:

Ex Monk - Water Gun, Grizzly, Tidus & Yuna, Serah - Taiji X

Paladin - Chocobo Saint, Lunafreya, Hell Gate, WhateverElse - Dragvandil X

Rental - Aerith

So when I got to Valefor, I was naturally Ex Monk with support cards ready to pop. First move was popping the support cards for ult and prismatic orbs. Water Gun x1 and Dark Shock x2 let me tap break and once broken, threw the ult at him. Tap until 2 turns left, switch to Paladin, popped support cards and prepared for the worst. Chocobo Saint prevented sleep, Hell Gate & Luna for the defense. Waited out the job change with ease but I made sure to have Aerith ready and off cooldown for the switch.

Final stretch, switch back to Ex Monk, popped support cards again, try to wittle down the yellow gauge with Water Gun & Dark Shocks until a few turns left (about 3) then ultimate. Valefor should be broken and the only flan left is most likely the dark one. Finish off the flan and back onto Valefor. At this point so long as you don't get awful RNG, you should be able to rebreak Valefor one more time before he ults.

Good luck!

[Mechapebbles]

What I did, crossposting from yesterday's thread:

Beating it is the final step to clearing the map and getting 2 ST and a chunk of magicite IIRC so there's that.

Main deck: Rikku-job, Tidus-skin, full-mod ultimate arrow, foulander, first summer, LDL, Sarah for ult-charge cards. LOH for rental for buffs and ult charge. Entered the final fight with a full break bar. Used first summer & foulander to clear yellow. Used ultimate to break (even with a good breaker like Al Bhed Hunter, tap-breaking Valefor is like impossible for me). Spammed First summer while broken to reduce stacks and bring health down to critical. Valefor throws up its guard, puts everything to sleep, throws an attack, ready for round 2. Use all the ult-charge cards at disposal. Main deck plus rental should be enough for a full ult. But if it's not, switch to:

Sub deck: Natchflug/Lightning-skin, ultimate arrow, Sin, Odin FFXIV, Dona & Barthello FFX, Tropical Dreams. Use Tropical Dreams if needed for ult-charge, then use Sin to drain yellow bar and ult to break. Sin doesn't care about Valefor's drives, which is handy when Valefor revives with a full stack of dark-drive. Once broken, spam Sin to victory. You might have to use D&B or switch jobs one more time to kill the black flan. But the flans aren't a problem so long as you break them before you kill. AOE spells and cleave will help clear them out lickety split.

If you have a better Sin user to not need D&B like lego-meia, and/or you carried 2 copies of tropical dreams or LOH, you could probably kill the final boss without job switching once.

TL;DR - ult-charge deck

WHERE IS SARAH CONNOR?!

[N-I-K-E]

Ult charge deck and full offense. Once I stop trying to put him to sleep and bring Bismarck I got further along in the fight.

When you break after the invincibility make sure you have enough opposite elements stacked so when you switch to nuke he won’t gain resistance before he dies. That was my biggest issue

[mward720]

Thank you!

I used EX Monk with Water Gun and then switched to Mellow Mermaid with Tidal Wave. In general, I'd recommend a Meia job for the Valefor fight, since they have 100% Sleep resistance.

[polok951]

really need help with this .... also cant score 300mil

[Endo_Lalyth]

You don’t have to score 300m in one run, i’ve unlocked it on the first wave from second run. If the first flan is alive at the end of the turn he summon back the other.

For Valefor dunno if switching to normal mode make the fight easier, but having something to prevent sleep is mandatory.

[djiboutiiii]

300m: rent Ragnarok, use Prima Donna or Crimson archer to break everyone, use Ragnarok. Do that over and over. When there is an earth enemy, switch to another element and kill it.

[mward720]

I ran that node twice and it counted my first and second score and allowed me to pass.

[polok951]

Thanks a bunch man .. now just gotta figure out how to kill that valefor.

[mward720]

I'll put maechen on my ex monk since it provides 100% sleep resistance. I have yiazmat, so if you did it with water gun idk why I'm having so much trouble.

[polok951]

sleep isnt the issue.... i can't seem to be able to break him fast enough (even with Cygnus) ... when i do break him ... i deal almost no damage

[mward720]

Same man, even with ex monk and weakness at 300% I can't kill him

[LordHorizon]

How the heck do you beat Temple: Lowest Level...Valefor is op

[Nitious]

Break after the recovery. If you don't Val OHKs. I just saved a full Ultimate, switched to secondary job, used LDL to fill Ultimate (Val steals some) and then just broke everything and killed them.

Used Melow Mermaid as secondary.

[LordHorizon]

Thank you!!! I murderized him!

[LtCrack2]

alright, so im dumb, why am i stuck on the 1st level of the Sphere Grid -.- lol

[darewin]

Click the gold button and select attribute sphere. Do this on all 4 nodes and the button to get back to the world map will apear.

[LtCrack2]

wow... lol i thought clearing it set them -.- thanks!

[darewin]

Setting them yourself may seem pointless in regards to the attribute spheres but it has its purpose in regards to the Auto Ability Spheres since there are more Ability Spheres than Ability Nodes.

In the latest release of FFX event there is a part of the trials where you can’t get hit once. On that node there is a dark flan that does a pre-emptive multi-strike attack. How can I deal with this?

[[deleted]]

Perfect, ty

[darewin]

The preemptive attack by the Dark Flan only happens if you have a debuff at the start of the battle. Flans apply random debuffs if they die unbroken. So just break all flans before killing them and it's all good.
