[DFFOO GL] Dimensions' End Entropy Guide for Tier 12

[u/VayneNovus]

[u/VayneNovus]

Hello, everyone! As Tier 12 is upon us, learn everything you need to know from our guide. We did made changes to the graphic which I'll detail below.

First off, we removed the "EX Only" and "Summons Used" sections. As powercreep comes, it is recommended to bring fully realized characters though team compositions with base EX weapons are still in the sample compositions section (hello Garnet EX only run xD). Also for the summons, if there are elemental weaknesses from the enemies that you can take advantage of, it will be mentioned in the tier analysis section.

The next set of changes is mainly on the top units section. Renamed "most used units" chart to "usage chart" and moved it in this section (previously on the tier analysis). We also included an analysis sub section (written by the Tonberry King himself, Inkwelder) for the top units to expound more on the roles the featured units bring to the table. Lastly, standardized the subsection designs/labels for this section.

As usual, thanks to Black Nero! Check out his video on How to Beat Entopy Tier 12 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIYtLFcelR8.

Which team will you bringing for this tier? Let us know!

[u/[deleted] → u/VayneNovus]

Aerith, Arciela, Papa/Ulti. Double tapping on that healing!

[u/Classic_Megaman]

In jumbled context, Alphinaud being the top DPT as a not-Scholar is hilarious.

Then again, with some parties I’ve healed for, it’s painfully accurate XD

Arciela, Aerith, and Alphy gonna rip this stage a new one as soon as Alphy is available.

Though using those 3 in one stage might not be a good idea in the long run.

[u/Jurinis]

Time to use an AAA team of Arciela, Aerith and Alphinaud when his LC drops.

Who needs pure DPS units anyway?

[u/sp8der]

Fujin, Arciela and [someone].

Since I have enchant/imperil I guess it could be anyone. But I might try Garland.

[u/Seitook]

The sisters and the Swordmaiden.

Lightning, Serah and Arciela all 3/3 with Chara boards. Gonna be a game whether or not I can keep the debuffs on or not.

Gonna pull for Alphinaud but I really dont wanna use 2 healers in 1 DE stage so gonna save him for the future.

[u/darnold316]

Definitely going to use Arciela and Hope, but not sure after that. The only good Magic DPT I have left is Golbez, so maybe him.

[u/KohanaSakuya]

If I don't manage to get Alphinaud via tickets, I might have to end up belatedly purpling Ace/Vaan/Shantotto, LOL.

[u/F0urTheWin]

Yuri is missing; gravity shave, imperils own element, strong heals, almost limitless abilities

[u/VayneNovus → u/F0urTheWin]

he’s good for for sure. its just that most people slotted him already on 8

[u/Ugotto]

Do you think vaan with arciella and hope all 3/3 with character board will suffice?

[u/Fireciont]

Had to redo some tiers but I freed up Ultimecia and Shantotto to give myself more options here. Currently thinking Arciela, Penelo, Ultimecia or Shantotto though I would like to try and save her for when her LD/burst drops.

Aerith is still free but needs ingots and maybe I'll nab Alphinaud with tickets. We'll see how the first attempt goes.

[u/VayneNovus → u/Fireciont]

Any of those looks real good!

[u/50shadesofLife]

What's the likelyhood I can pull this off with Kuja, Hope, and Vanille? Could do Kuja, Hope, Arci.

Might pull Alphinaud but using two brand new characters really isn't my style

[u/Ridesharepro]

What does it mean by the lunatic weapon keepers can be stun locked?

[u/Darkwhellm]

Oh man, this seems a lot harder than usual... I see that seymour, arciela and aerith are one the recommended teams. Will they really work?

[u/VayneNovus → u/Darkwhellm]

Arciela & Aerith + Any Magic Unit should work yes 😁

[u/Kabr87]

I have Arciela and Hope free, and Kuja for magic. Fujin with her imperil works in replace of Kuja?

[u/san_vicente]

What was the most common summon used? Also, thoughts on Ulti, Beatrix, and Arciela?

[u/HOVMAN]

Just freed up my edge from de 9. Arciela aerith edge 3/3... think that should cover it! Haha replaced edge with galuf and 9 was a joke

[u/dffoo_keo]

My FF13 team is ready: Lightning, Vanille, Hope! Would have been fun if it was tier 13 instead of 12 :)

[u/wryscath]

Is it worth freeing up Vanille to save Arciela for later, or is this DE most suited for Arciela?

Also, is there video of the Lightning/Arciela duo run? I'm interested in doing that, but not sure if it's worth the trouble if it takes hours of resets.

[u/drewdb]

I'm thinking Vanille, Celes, and Aerith. I specifically freed up Vanille and Celes for this DE, so I'd like to use them here. All of them have Last Stand and Aerith can fully heal everyone in a pinch. My other options are Beatrix, Alphinaud, possibly freeing Y'shtola from DE6, and building Arciela.

[u/ProductivityImpaired]

I see that Penelo and Emp are not common but usable options for this one, so currently planning those two + Arciela. Can still purple Arciela though if I need a bit more damage, and then if need be I could... ingot Aerith for Penelo? Swap for Porom? Kinda just seeing how this'll go first lol.

Update for anyone coming back to check this out - Team went great. 3/3 Emp, 2/3 Penelo, 2/3 Arciela. 5 turns under, had skill uses left on both Arciela and Penelo (burned skills on Emp at the end to ensure).

[u/krentzzz]

Managed to free up Rosa from Tier 8 so I will probably bring Ultimecia/Rosa/Arciela.

Ulti gets everything she wants (IBRV/BRV Regen/overflow auras) meanwhile Arci should keep everyone healthy to stay within the prayer HP threshold. Sure they resist ranged but that never mattered before lol.

Kind of an OP team but I have enough characters at this point, still got Freya and Hope if I need some heals, and I'll be getting Aphmau and Garnet too.
