If you're not relying on Snow to seal elements, you can do a rotation of provoke -> guard -> guard to lower his incoming damage by half on 2/3 of the turns, which should help to catch up on healing.

That was my plan, but he takes so much damage that first turn that I can never catch up, even with Refia's Curaja, Ling's Cura, and Noctis's Cover.

Is it just me or is Gilgamesh's Zantetsuken not actually Earth damage? Even with Golem and Barstonra it's still doing crazy damage to Snow.

I did 1 daily and had 11 tickets. On the 11th ticket I got a Blue > Gold > Rainbow > Ramza. Pretty happy with that!

Jealous I had to pull harder then I expected for him.

I've done my fair share of hard pulling, so I feel like I "earned" my luck. My first Ramza I got off banner, I figured I'd never get one since I skipped his first banner.

I noticed weird stuff with that too. I was using Cecil on Golem + Bar-Stonra, which should have been 100% earth resist. Zant was still hitting my 6k hp Cecil for around 2k damage per use.

So it seemed like Earth resist helped somewhat, but capped out before total immunity. I'm not sure the exact mechanics.

All three Gilg achievements down on first try with Cecil, Ling, Refia, and Bartz, with a deathbringer/diabolos Noctis companion for damage. Left water, earth, and light unsealed.

Casual. (I got about 8 chasing Ramza today)

Sparkle what was your setup? I just recently got DW so my Bartz can be semi-tricked out. I have Cecil/Refia/Ling as well - I'd like to down this bad boy.

man, can't seem to beat this. seems at least 1 of the transforms, he will kill both my characters that cover most of the elements. maybe my Rain is the problem. Cecil/Refia/Ling, companion Noc seems mandatory. I have Rain covering wind, holy via weapons, fire, earth via ability. ling & refia can cover lightning. I try to hit the 50 & 30% transforms full hp, spirit & def buff, no debuff, and have magic debuf on Gilg. yet every try, at one of those transforms, my rain and noc die and i cant recover.

maybe i need more evade ? think next go I will have dual wield on Cecil and have 2 elements via his swords.

i could swap out my Gilg for Rain. Gilg probably has more survive-ability due to all the pvp pots he's eaten, but would mean he's covering 1 less element. I hear Primm can work here as well, has her hybrid stone or lightning attacks can apply 3 elements.

12% to Olive TM.....want ...to...go....BOOM~~~~~

You don't have to seal elements on the turn he does a threshold attack, so if you're sure about pushing a threshold that turn, you can guard Rain to make sure he survives (or at least doesn't die to the damage aoe). I'm guessing the Noctis friend is your primary damage, so he has to do the actual pushing that round and can't guard.

Use your friend Noctis's Armiger to push. Since you have Ling for Entrust and Rain to counter and build LB, you should be able to generate crystals at a moderate rate.

I can't beat the trial either but for a different reason: I simply don't have enough healing to survive the crazy damage he pumps out after the 50% transformation.

yeah, totally spaced using guard. thanks. that and ensuring noctis's dodge 3 attacks is refreshed should make the diff. i might burn more arena points and get some pots to put on him.

having dual cast on refia and cecil makes healing no problem unless rain+1 die.

I have never pulled Cecil or Ludmille, unfortunately. I just made an attempt where I got past the 30% Transformation but then he started using two X-Slashes every turn and there was no way I was survivng that lol.

Thanks Sinzar for the video and companion Noctis with double man eater. Was able to beat it with 5 person + no item achievement with the exact same tactics as you. It took me probably around 10 tries, but I had several stupid fails where I got busy or rushed. The key for me was to make sure his MAG was broken before a threshold. Even with 6k hp Cecil with doublecast and doublecast Refia, 2 Nocti, and a Ling, I could not reliably recover from the thresholds if his MAG wasn't broken.

Hey Krip, do you want a tricked out Refia as a companion? I can put her up if you think that will get you through.

I had only tried twice the day it was released and decided to farm shit (I only have 3 2 star espers etc and TM's to bake baby). Went back today and was pretty cake but fucked myself on achievements.

I went
Cecil
Lightning
Emp
ExD
Refia

and friend noct

Lightning had Excal + Trident and used her wind ability to keep 3 things sealed the entire time with 6400 hps so she was very safe.

Emp chained fire from below (had 1 nice 65k bomb) the entire time and 4500 hps, didn't die once.

ExD was fairly useless but had him there to handle barstone, thunder < 50% back up, and ele back him if anyone died. Sealed thunder once with him, other then that could have been extremely easy to have 5 manned without him

Noct just the normal fish/mana regen/rezzed cecil on threshold insta kill twice and 2 thunders for debuffs.


So I got the no items, but with llimited physical I didn't get shit for LB build. I took him through the 50 and 30% threshholds back to back basically because fucking emp lit him up hardcore. I had him extremely low and just sealed units with as limit damage asi could for 5 turns trying to get LB up, emp LB'd him but he had a sliver of health left so I was fucked and no one else was very close at all on LB so I had to just finish him off. I'll have to bring queen I guess for better LB build since I don't have any support units lvl'd up that can give LB to other units. Sad could have knocked out both. Definitely a fun fight. Emp definitely drops some pain and I have a lot of work to do on him still but alas for 5 man i'll probably have to have someone with more flexibility (or will use him but he won't most likely get to use fire from below every single turn like he did). Sadly that 10% mog would have given my damn sparky!!
