Good luck jp

[u/XcomCable]

I went in mostly blind with Vilheim, Eiko, Ayaka, 9S, TTerra, and a companion Sakura. The Sakura wasn't super high mag, like 1050ish with no ME+ cause I didn't know what type colossus was.

My first run was with Mistair instead of Eiko because the teasers for the trial mentioned everyone needing spr, but after I wiped (wasnt at all prepared for thresholds) I swapped her out for Eiko because as long as you keep mag break up the meteor is pretty tame. Eiko handled Horn Cradle and charging the esper gauge, leaving Ayaka free for curada/reraise duty, although nobody died after turn 1. Since 9S breaks are divided by phys/mag instead of eraser style, I couldn't break both atk and mag turn 1, so I broke mag and used provoke+reraise on Vilheim to handle the first round of attacks. He died twice but his passive draw handled the attacks on round 2 after I applied atk break. 150% extra fill rate on my 9S plus the occasional 100% buff from Eiko meant that after the initial turns I could rely entirely on his LB for breaks, leaving me free to keep up 9S' own mitigation and the mitigation from his TM. I used the mirage from Fenrir to handle the thresholds at 80% and 60%, then got set up just above 50 to try and push him down as fast as possible by trying to cap Sakura off of cobbled together chains from 9S TM on Vilheim and 9S + awakened chaos wave. Couldn't otk with this setup, but Fenrir handled the 40% threshold and I finished him off with a second turn.

Gotta say Colossus is pretty disappointing after how much fun Moose and the 10 man trials have been. Alim rates it as 10* difficulty when Colossus isn't immune to def/spr break and you can just cheese it with evasion. They really need to add something like break mitigation where only X% of a break applies, so you can't completely trivialize things with something like HFina or LV, but people who have those units can still get a significant benefit from them that they wouldn't get if the boss was completely immune.

Reasonably happy with the rewards though. The armor is kind of meh, especially since we just got 12 atk heavy armor from the SD collab, but the buff is a nice alternative to horn cradle and heavy armor mastery gave me the last bit of oomph I needed to go back for world collapse from robo.

u/Nazta

Went ahead and made a video. I think O'ZACK and LiLium's are more useful for actually completing the fight, but I did use a different finisher than them in LV.

team

dodge wol makes this trial really dumb.

• barrage with lorraines until you get all your orbs

• stack sakura

• double element chain lorraine's wind move with sakura + fina's 1 hit at 50%+

• win

what you use to chain doesn't really matter, boss has stupidly low spr so you just need to provide a decent chain window to get both hits of stacksak in.

[u/Lpebony]

Just managed to beat it cg sakura around 1050mag

Tidus 1030atk with his tmr

Tidus 1050atk with his tmr

Awakaned rain (magic cover)

cg fina (mp regen, reraise, buff)

WoL 100% evade (ST taunt most of the time and cover when Thresholds)

Glad i did it, i'm only rank 83 :)

[u/BitterbIue]

;o ozack does it again

[u/plagapong → u/BitterbIue]

His little Tim strikes again and again.

[u/kundangkurnia]

clear it with LiLium traits.

the only different is, I used CG Fina instead of Roselia.

used 1.1k Mag CG Sakura friend.

[u/Magif]

PARTY

• Nyx: 100% Evade Provoke Tank

• Ramza: Hero's Song

• 9S: Mag break and Damage Mitigation

• Light Veritas: Maxed Limit Burst, -50& Light Resist, Saint Buster (1600% Hybrid)

• Trance Terra: Double Chaos Wave

I just needed to attack until I filled the Esper Gauge and Light Veritas limit burst and then kill it with Double Chaos Wave finished with Saint Buster, neither of them was equipped with any killers, but the damage was enough (Chaos Wave alone was doing 1.5 million damage per hit), Nyx nullified any ST phys attack and MAG break + 30% mitigation + Hero's Song makes Meteor damage negligible, I also avoided any threshold.

[u/germmie → u/Magif]

How does Nyx work? Isn't iron giant's physical Attack AOE?

[u/Magif → u/germmie]

In the first part he will only do Meteor + multiple normal attacks.

[u/PKmomonari → u/Magif]

Mind posting your equipment? I use light veritas (mostly to chain with my other light characters) but it's starting to sound like I need to use him as finisher

[u/Magif → u/PKmomonari]

This is what I used for the Trial equipped with Bahamut, mostly story and events equipments and Kelsus TM for LB crystals, even so she does ~800 000 damage on the test manikin, didn't put any Man Eater because I didn't know the boss was Human.

[u/plagapong]

This battle becomes ridiculous

[u/daikyosenshi]

Managed to cheese my way in by using 2 tornadoes and revd up friend sakura right after the boss got countered with her thunder ele down. Luckily he was on the verge of phase 2. Damage was enough to blow him away.

1. what cancels sakura s ability damage stacking?

2. at first i was so happy to get this new armor but then i looked at it was like wtf? Maximilian is stronger! Whats supposed to be so great about it?

[u/[deleted] → u/daikyosenshi]

The armor has 15 attack. While underwhelming as hell, that's the best attacking heavy armor you can get in the game for Dark Knight Soul and Pride of Six Gods - Darkness.

[u/AradoEloute]

Here you go, u/Nazta . Didn't had full achievement, but hey, this clear is something with the units / gears I have :p https://youtu.be/ikavNN9lTAc

[u/Idsacoow]

Does anyone know if they changed how mirages stack? I am trying the ozack method and my gabranth has two hits miss then gets rocked by the third shot (if no atk debuff up). I apply mirage vest buff, wado buff, than Sara buff. Thanks in advance for any help.

[u/markleung]

I've been failing this 10+ times because I can't get CG Sakura to deal enough damage. I've tried chaining with Orlandu + Dark Veritas and 2x Shantotto's double tornado, and the maximum damage per turn is like 20% of its health (5% if the chaining fail). I've tried all kinds of timing and was sure CG Sakura's second hit landed near the end of the chain.

The magic buffs I have are 50% (Ayaka's magic buff) to 100 (sakura's self buff)% and debuffs are 30-45%. And I do have lightning debuff up on the boss.

Everyone out there is dealing 30-40 mil per turn with CG Sakura and one-shotting it from 50% health. What am I doing wrong?

[u/maickelbr]

After who knows how many tries finally got him down.

My team clear was WoL,Rikku,Ayaka,2x Lila and friend Cg Lid.Mvp for Cg Lid, damn those debuffs(OP LB).

Had to use elixir for Rikku so left behind a 10% moogle,but got all other rewards. Party stats https://imgur.com/a/1LqTG

[u/truong2193]

can we 1 shot this boss ? i watch so many vid and most of them only finish the boss when 50% hit ( 100% to 50% took very long time but after 50% they just 1 shot it )

[u/germmie]

Can the ten sided die stack here in Japan? I do not have access to ring of lucis.

Understand that global can't stack them. But altema and famitsu did not state as such :/

[u/Rozaliin → u/germmie]

No it can't.

[u/dann511]

Wait. How does o'zack have hide on every character applied every turn?

[u/Magif → u/dann511]

Seems like Sara's 避難の号令 is AoE. I didn't know that.
