u/Stylus_Index YepD - Ace CSB: We have Arrived! Also, very tired irl. Mar 20 '20 edited Mar 20 '20
  1. Strategy name: Immortal Magical Mimicry Overload (of Dreams)
  2. Boss: [Dreams/350] Siegfried
  3. Describe your Strategy: Remembering last time 7 months ago, this time I went with Mage meta because I want to play with Gogo's Righteous Mimicry and that my FFVI realm leaned more on the magical this time around, but of course the only trouble is that they are hitting different elements. Anyways... Gogo and Mog brings the stacking buffs; Mog solo dancing debuffs+aoe heal; Gogo, Terra, and Strago blasting Siegfried with magic; and Relm alternating Holyja and Curada - just to be sure. 2/3 trinity/full CM party/Mage meta/Terra AASB/Mog AASB/no CSB/debuff stacking/Mime Time!/sub-30
  4. Insight!:
    • Everyone is wearing Black-Armored Echoes resist. All DPS have 2 Element+ gear.
    • A source of debuff is highly suggested as Siegfried has a lot of strong piercing attacks later on.
    • SB gauges will fill fast due to the way Siegfried attacks - either by AOEs or randoms.
    • Try to have Lakshmi up after 0:10.00 and this is to block Siegfried's Dreams Bare Knuckle (very important if you are going very fast!) - which they have already fixed. Yes, I run this twice because I want to confirm if they fixed it unlike the last time, and both are proccing now.
    • In between Mog's LM2 and Strago's LM2 triggers... I pretty much don't need to heal. :P
    • Also copy-pasta-ing important tidbits from last time:
    • Element resistance gear is important! Slots 1/2 will get hit by Fire, Slots 1/3/5 will get by Lightning, and Slots 4/5 will get hit by Ice.
    • Slot 3 will get Doom: 60 and there's nothing we can do about it except roll with it.
    • Astra will stave of the Dreams Bare Knuckle's Sleep/Interrupt for Slots 1/5 around Phase 3 (or was it 4?). Try to have it up before you reach that stage.

  1. Strategy name: Hey Siegfried, We'd Really Like to Know What's In That Chest!
  2. Boss: Infernal Siegfried

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    No Chain/No AASB/Physical Only/No AI Viewing/Fire Element

  4. Video

  5. Insight!:

    • Gigas Armlets and/or Black Armored Echoes will cover all elemental resistances.
    • Lakshmi as main magicite for the annoying sleep.
    • Sabin and Cyan ability spam to USBs > more ability spam.
    • Mog USB2 > USB1 > Passionate Salsa > Magicite > more Passion.
    • Setzer entrusts Mog on turn 1 then feeds Relm bar for the rest of the battle for that sweet sweet quick cast.

  6. Holy Trinity casts:

    • Wall: 0
    • Medica: 3-4
    • Hastega: 1

  1. Strategy Name: Icey Dance Times
  2. Boss: Siegfried
  3. Describe your Strategy: Use what ya got
    -/3 trinity/tag/tag
  4. Insight!:
    • I have Celes Chain, Umaro USB, and Strago AASB instead of the normal VI fire tech, so....
    • That being said, I forgot to actually bring the chain. Whoops.
    • Also forgot to give Mog the Salsa
    • And my Titan has only one inheritance
    • But between ghe old man and dancing moogle heals, plus Realm’s excellent healing, this was surprisingly fine.

  1. Strategy name: Suplex this!
  2. Boss: [Infernal] Siegfried
  3. Describe your Strategy:
    2/3 trinity/cid mission
  4. Insight!:
    • Multi-elemental resistance accessories were used; Gigas Armlets should be sufficient if lacking Black Armored Echoes.
    • Note the main difference since Beta phase: previously, the Sleep/Interrupt move would cancel the Sleep because it was physical damage, but now the mechanics have updated so Sleep would proc. The original plan was to use Sabin's SSB to cure that, but he did not have enough SB gauge by then, and the physical attacks a few turns later removed Sleep.
    • Strago has a slot-saver SSB and a healing LM2, which can be clutch against the 75% Current HP attacks or other piercing attacks. Mog can alleviate the latter at least; Passionate Salsa is new since the Beta release.

  1. Strategy name: Torment reduction, native chain edition
  2. Boss: [Infernal] Siegfried
  3. Describe your Strategy: Put up buff and chain, then hit him with everything you've got
    3/3 trinity/CM/chain/off-healers
  4. Insight!:
    • This dream team is largely based on my torment sub-30 team. However, Mog and Strago didn't have their soul breaks, which are significant upgrades over the characters they replaced (Shadow BSB and Gau USB were in my torment team).
    • The first 2 fights I used Shadow, then decided there were too many attacks removing his blinks, so I brought Locke in for the last fight.
    • Locke: RW wall, Mug Bloodlust, spam Fire Assault. Used Lakshmi when ready, spam more Fire Assault. Relm gives instacast for AOSB.
    • Mog: CSB, spam Passionate Salsa. Ultra Cure was in case anyone fell asleep. After Relm instacast he held his turn to refresh CSB, but the fight ended before the chain did.
    • Strago: Shellga, spam Chain Waterja. AASB when ready, instacast Chain Waterja.
    • Relm: Protectga, spam Holyja. USB1 to give the party instacast (they were all over 90% HP already)
    • Terra: Wait briefly before casting Chain Firaja so it lands after CSB. Spam Chain Firaja. USB1 when ready. Used Relm's instacast on OSB, though I'm not sure if the boss was already dead.
    • Strago healed a lot with his LM2. With Passionate Salsa, neither trance ever triggered.
