Zidane - 4 uses before attack, yikes. Venom buster is barely better than attack - Tempo Flurry is a good cheap ability.I am having an issue with the ultimate. I have 2/3 of the trinity and bring along a RW SG/SS2, but I really struggle to push out enough damage to belius before the wall wears off. My damage just completely fucking sucks once my abilities are all through. My setup (Thinking of toying with it):
Zidane (65) with FFT Spellblade (and orichalcum SB). R2 Siphon life / R2 Venom Buster
Sephiroth (73) with OWA. R3 2x cut / R1 siphon life
Quistis (65) with Red Scorpion. R2 armor breakdown / R1 Power breakdown
Yuna (71) Lullaby rod. R4 Curaga / R2 protectga
Beatrix (65) with random 5* sword. R2 Shellga / R1 saint cross (for medals)
I just seem to do shit damage. Could be I just don't implement some of the more commonly known damage methods? Not sure, but this isn't too easy for me. Closest I've gotten is Belius or @ 25% and he cyclops'ed my entire party dead, because I had nothing left to mitigate damage.
edit: forgot to add that I am thinking of substituting Tifa (65 with burning arrow and a 7* dragon claw) for Beatrix, but then I need to worry about putting holy damage on someone, and I also lose shellga...gah.
edit2: I also have a 7* wizard rod on Garnet (65) who I could substitute for Quistis, so could load her with protectga/shellga, put diara on yuna, and give that a shot...
Do we know if this will reset the Mythril rewards as well? Got shafted on my FFT pull... will probably finish up all my Mythril on it and then save until FFXII event. Basch's shield looks so damn sexy. Heck quite a lot of the banners leading up to BSSB Fest are sexy will be hard to save mythril.Orb rewards from daily dungeons reset Tuesday night/Wednesday morning, so make sure you have mastered all of them for their rewards. We'll be getting 2-5 free major orbs of each type, plus greaters you can convert down into the orbs you need.
Thanks for the advice. After reading this and Healthfood's advice, I realized there were a few holes in my strategy and lineup. I think right now I am also suffering from a lack of quality honed abilities. I'll be trying to focus in on that in the near future. For now, having gotten expert on weirgraf and belias will have to do.Zidane - 4 uses before attack, yikes. Venom buster is barely better than attack - Tempo Flurry is a good cheap ability.
Sephiroth - R1 Lifesiphon is bad - again go with something like R3 or R4 Launch.
Quistis - Armor Breakdown is the last thing you probably want to hone. Power Breakdown isn't a big deal in this fight. Since she's a mage hybrid, her attack damage isn't great so running two physical abilities is going to be a drag. Her SSB is good, but her damage is limping in this setup. I'd use R4 Power Break on Sephiroth or Zidane, and then put your best mage spell (Waterja?) on Quistis.
Yuna - solid, but protectga isn't needed. If you need to meet the holy condition, stick a low-level Dia on her.
Beatrix - Shellga + R1 Saint's Cross means Beatrix only has two turns before she has to just auto-attack. Do you have the orbs for Banishing Strike? It's a great 4* ability, but I know you're new so may not have the orbs; if not, use Dia on Yuna once, and let Beatrix use a high-honed ability like Launch.

Expert on these battles is fantastic! With some grinding out for hones, I think you have a real shot at mastery before the event ends in a week.Thanks for the advice.

I suppose I could bring a shout or lightning RW, I am just conditioned to always go for SS2/SG as I don't have native wall, and usually that's a critical piece. I guess I don't really get what all the excitement for shout is in a party where I already have a 35% atk boost (burning arrow) and red scorpion or wizard rod (native hastega). Shouldn't tifa + garnet be enough ? 15% atk damage doesn't seem like a game changing boost.Expert on these battles is fantastic!

Down-convert orbs so you have R3 Lifesiphon on Zidane and Sephiroth. You don't need more than R3 with Shout, and you save a chunk of orbs.
R3 Magic Breakdown + 2xR3 Lifesiphon are 3 abilities you will always bring with you. Curaga (Curaja) is another one, plus Shell and now you have 5 end-game abilities.
PS - lots of Lightning RW with enough ATK to one-shot the adds in the ultimate being passed around Reddit. Hit with holy damage once, then POOF! adds are gone and boss has a lot less HP too. Anyone struggling with that fight can probably forgo physical mitigation and wall with this setup np.
Tried Cloud/Yuffie/Wakka/Aerith/Lenna to retaliate through it, and that didn't work well.What's your team?
You can click defend to wait out the out of range.
We can cry together bro. Got a 6*+ White mage staff though for FFT realm, that shit is LEGIT.I really hate coming to this thread, you guys are all too lucky.
I'm having a similar problem, I have no wall, keep not getting a wall rw and since he's resistant to breaks he just deals too much damage even with protect/full break/power breakdown, plus he takes little damage so its a pretty long fight, long enough 4 full breaks won't last the fight. His shit is still hitting for like 1500 and his autos that he does like 4 in a row each hit 1000, WITH all debuffs up, when one thing lapses, its 2500 a hit.Got my shit pushed in by weirgraf, so I'm doing something wrong... :|
Anyone have suggestions?
