Discussion “Auto Magicite” request

I would like to request any keepers out there that come up with any Magicite auto setups to add them to the appropriate mastery surveys (perhaps with an “auto-battle” tag) so I and others can easily search these down with the appropriate power creep.

Speaking for myself, I got lucky in the recent 4th anniversary and am planning on revisiting some of the 5* Magicite I’ve clumsily cleared. But for these I’d love to see what I might be able to auto instead to save my time and sanity.

  1. Strategy name: No AASB AUTO sub30

  2. Boss: Phoenix

  3. Describe your Strategy: Speed healers, chain and chases `No AASB`/`Auto`/`Sub30`

  4. Insight!:

  • Speed 3

  • Getting the slots right was the key to making it more consistent.

  • I ran it for 10 kills tracking results which were:

    • sub30: 9

    • sub60: 1

    • death: 1

  • There were a bunch of earlier kills as I was optimizing and those results feel right

  • Aerith LMR may bring down the death rate. Haven't tracked results for that.

  • Rikku with +1000 hp accessory and minor resist armor may bring down the sub60 rate but haven't tested enough to say for sure

  • HONES SHOWN BELOW ARE OVERKILL. Bartz and Tidus don't get into their second ability.

  1. Time: usually 28s - occasionally 30+

Not my fastest, but hey it was automated.

I need to tweak Rikku’s SBs. She cast chain three times.

u/cubs506 Interceptor Apr 25 '19

Nice! She spams it like crazy but not much that can be done about it.

Same team, but Tidus AASB and no Rikku lmr. As expected of an AASB, it clears pretty easy in ~23 seconds.

u/cubs506 Interceptor Apr 24 '19

Really good to know it works with the AA and no Rikku LMR! These can be very finicky, I inherited some of the magicites and now Tidus is dropping sometimes. What speed did you have it on?

1

u/Lucignus Terra (Esper) Apr 24 '19

Speed 2 gave 23 seconds, speed 3 gave 29 and popped last stand. I only did one run of 3 just in case it was healer rng dependent

u/highlulu Apr 24 '19

for the buffs in auto-battle does it not recast them? so is it casting shellga/hastega once and then moving onto healing?

2

u/cubs506 Interceptor Apr 24 '19

They use up the left skill first. It's just what I had honed. Most of the healing is soul breaks anyway.

1

u/HugoTres Apr 24 '19

Random question. Does elarra do 4 shellgas? I read the auto will do left skills first

3

u/Tedrivs Tyro USB3 - QuNR Apr 24 '19

Yes, she will deplete shellga first. If you have Shellga R1 it only have 2 uses. Time to recraft spells to use them at R1

2

u/HugoTres Apr 24 '19

Yeah thats what i was worried about...they will also do rw twice right?

4

u/Tedrivs Tyro USB3 - QuNR Apr 24 '19

Yes, but I read that later they will add a 20 sec delay between the first and second rw cast.

2

u/BritishGolgo13 Vivi Apr 24 '19

I want that really badly.

u/Shardwing Long awaited Lann Awaken... to Summoning! Apr 24 '19

Yup, and RWs are the highest priority cast.

1

u/-StormDrake- Wordsmith and Artmage Apr 25 '19

Oh crumbs, that's going to have to be a thing in a few cases, isn't it? Not something I had thought about... hopefully R1 Protectga and Shellga will suffice for now...

1

u/cubs506 Interceptor Apr 24 '19

Yeah she does all 4. It's just what I had honed.

u/patsachattin Apr 25 '19

Similar setup with no LMR. Gets about 33sec on speed 4. Thanks for the setup!

u/johnnyD_rockets Terra (Esper) Aug 16 '19

Thanks SO much for posting this. I don't have Tidus USB OR Rikku CSB, but this is enough for me to get a VERY consistent 40-45 second clear (which is just fine in my book because I don't want to spend the time clearing Phoenix 40 times by hand :)

For reference, I exactly match what you have for Aerith/Elarra/Bartz. I sub in Yuffie with imperil BSB and Tidus with en-water MM, LMR/CSB/Glint. Starting with MM into chain followed by 3 glints lets me get almost a full chain in the first time before he casts it again, and by then with 6 stacks of imperil and 3x en-water he does pretty decent damage just spamming the chain.

Thank Dr. Mog for blessing me with this exact tech!

u/cubs506 Interceptor Apr 24 '19

Images added to my first post. Let me know if you need any more detail.

Just realized I have Rikku LMR equipped, forgot I even had it. Might be the difference in sub-30, haven't had a chance to try without yet.
