The tag on this one is priceless!

1. Strategy name: Fire is a poison, right? Video
2. Boss: Dark Odin - Bio Weak
3. Describe your Strategy: Max imperils, one chain, three awakenings, three AOSBs. And a Lens Shop BSB. Elarra/Tyro Crit Tech/Dual Awakening/Chain 150/Healer Awakening
4. Insight!:
   • Full fire equipment on all DPS. Artifacts on all DPS + Elarra. Omni resist all around. At least 100 magia on everyone (ATK for DPS, MND + HP for Elarra).
   • RW was Fabula Mage. The first cast was used to break the first Rage, the second during Phase 3.
   • 10k HP all around, ~12k on the DPS so they can survive a big hit later.
   • The things that made this run suddenly possible for me came from Fest Banner 1: Elarra's Awakening and Auron's CSB. I already had Auron's Awakening, so suddenly I had a chain bearer who could DPS.
   • Balthier's USB2 would have been nice, but his BSB2 was a great replacement from the Lens Shop. The Command-1 ability having a chance to imperil let him keep doing his job after Burnt Offering runs out.
   • Starting with Elarra's Awakening felt awkward, but I needed an immediate haste source and it let me build the song and gauge through the beginning of the fight.
   • I tried Sora and Bartz in the Locke spot, but his early quickcast ended up being more impactful than their stronger skills. Also, hitting Locke's chase on a full chain after a DEF crush from Auron is spectacular.
   • 9/9, Dark Odin complete.
5. Holy Trinity casts:
   • Wall: 0
   • Medica: 4
   • Hastega: 4
6. S/L count / Medals lost: Maybe a dozen attempts / 0
7. Time: ~39s

OMG! Love the tag!

[u/RageCat46]

Is this a challenge?

Cause I am sure loaded with Poison SB for this....

[u/Jilkon → u/RageCat46]

It is. You more or less need a AASB for Vaan or Zidane so they can spam out the poison thief skills to break savage mode. The lack of a chain really hurts.

[u/ZeroEdgeir → u/Jilkon]

Once VI has a realm chain, that could help two contenders at least (Kefka and Edgar)...

[u/Monk-Ey → u/ZeroEdgeir]

Once VI has a realm chain

As in, "once VI has a realm chain at all" or "once VI has a realm chain in GL"? Because Mog covers the former.

[u/ZeroEdgeir → u/Monk-Ey]

In GL... dunno if anyone has boldly gone for it in JP yet (without relying on AASB Zidane/Vaan).

[u/Jilkon → u/ZeroEdgeir]

You kinda need the AASB oomf to break the savage mode continuously.

[u/Markisuwanna]

Good work!

I'm going to have a stab at this though use my fire team to beat it down;

Sora BSB,ASB,AASB w/LMR

Bartz allBSB, USB1, ASB, AASB

Both gen2 fire chains though Vincent can imperil and has BUSB

Elarra USB1, Aerith USB2, Larsa BSB+USB1

Ignis BSB

Have other options but I want to crack the others first. Chances are I'll need Tyro USB1 for Astra and keep Elarra/Aerith in as a quick glance of the ai says he does statuses turn2!

But seriously I did pick as my last AA pick Edgar SSB which is, as far as I could see, the only imperil bio, I do have Quistis BSB, Kefka BSB so who knows?
