Lyse EX+3LBFaris EX+3LBAgrias EX+3LBInfihttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX0jdZIMKjwShivaThis is a volitile tier where a single mistake can spell your doom. Wave 1: prioritise Cait > Cid, and Wave 3: I focused Agrias and then Lightning since she has a tendency to either be really aggressive with HP attacks and flourish of steel. Her turn rate on breaks can turn into a death very quickly
Faris EX+3LBSquall EX+3LBFreyamzpro2https://youtu.be/0MEpnZpmc4sShivaYES FREYA 35CP CAN MAKE IT WITH THE RIGHT TEAM!! Ok so focus on this order: wave 1/ cait > cid > seifer, wave 2 / yang > kain, wave 3 / lightning = OK > agrias, wave 4 / balthier > ramza, wave 5 / locke, sephiroth, auron.
Locke EX+3LBSetzer EX+3LBLilisette EX+3LBesb422https://youtu.be/QsWbRQ0TsXEShivaThis team requires some luck, but it demonstrates how tactical use of Locke's Steal Item can help those without a dedicated dispeller.

ShivaFreya 35cp. Magic resist stage with manakins - dispeller recommended. Quick tips in video description. Initial clear with Lenna, but freed after Freya's lvl70 awakening, Lenna vid is here: https://youtu.be/mxcGrZlGOcM
Faris EX+0LBSquall EX+3LBWarrior of Light EX+3LBFirezzhttps://youtu.be/txuIXcvOB3oShivaInitial Clear.
Balthier EX+3LBSquall EX+3LBBasch EX+0LBSidra_Gameshttps://youtu.be/RSf2SXMMSXkIfritMagic resist. This is horrible party synergy don't try this. But it saved me redoing old ones to free up some support. Read my YT comments.
FarisRem EX+3LBSquall EX+3LBJelis Whttps://youtu.be/irFuz5Ww7vYLeviathanThere's a cut in the last wave not because I had to reset, but because I took so damned long, my phone auto-stopped the recording because the file got too large ^^"

This team came together really well. Faris was obviously needed for the dispels, though her whirlpool was also helpful for crowd control. Squall is obviously the current king of Phys AoE damage, but he doesn't have enough skills to last all 5 waves, which is why Rem was so important. By having Rem constantly swap with Squall, and thereby batterying him in the process, it allowed me to get a lot out of his HP+, as it has 50% splash. The fact that his EX recasts so quickly is also pretty nice. I left Faris unrealized for this, so if you actually booked her, you'll probably be able to get this done a great deal faster than I did.
Y'shtola EX+3LBBasch EX+3LBLocke EX+3LBGaanrohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpvJMO_iVURamuhNo DIspeller & Voice Commentary. Basically, focus the healer on each wave (Cait, Agrias, Locke), and then nuke either damage dealer one by one. Use Y'shtola's Medica to save skill uses on Waves 2 & 4.
Cloud EX+3LBWarrior of Light EX+3LBVincent EX+3LBdethkab5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TM3Reh6U18ShivaMagic Resist. You'll need a dispeller. Starts off as a 3v3 fight, and Cait Sith will use Mog Dance which will give the enemy party a sickening high HP regen. Focus on taking out Cid and Cait Sith. Wave 3 is another 3v3 with nearly almost the same mechanic. Agrias's Knight's Pride will hp regen the other enemies. Focus on her and Lightning. Last wave ends with another 3v3. No nasty regens here, but all have powerful Brave+HP attacks so keep your health and brave in check.

Squall EX+3LBSelphieFaris EX+0LBEmethavatarhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MzwmQ5KppQ&list=PLmMZ4xahTR7yLr-DlKTrFHw2q47yJbTw-&index=10RamuhVoice commentary and strategy in video. A dispeller is really, really helpful here. Faris worked with no ingots spent on her! Selphie, although lacking an EX+, was very helpful both with heals and with her Aura buff which allowed both Squall and Faris to get a TON of mileage out of their EX abilities.

Battle Data and more tips at the video description. 3 boss (wave 1, 3 and 5)
MVP: Faris EX+3LB
Leviathan is great for the permanent BRV regen once your HP drops below 80% threshold. Skills management is very critical as it is a very long endurance battle.
Wave 1: Cid, Seifer and Cait. Kill Cait, Cid and followed by Seifer.
Wave 2: Focus on Yang and Kain
Wave 3: Focus on Onion Knight, Lightning and Agrias. Lightning can mess up turn order if you allow her to break your party.
Wave 4: Focus on Balthier first and then Ramza. Dispel after Ramza buffs.
Wave 5: Focus on Locke, Sephiroth and Auron. Locke AOE damage is a concern for this team due to healing requirements.
Agrias EX+3LBBalthier EX+1LBLilisette EX+1LBTequila7https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXnf-p3DVrgShivaHave Lilisette debuff every wave and keep her EX buff up. Agrias & Balthier should make full of this to deal extra dmg with their 100% AOE HP EX.
Squall EX+3LBSelphieFaris EX+3LBBatisathttps://youtu.be/zhrk0Or5wy4ShivaPotentially reset heavy run, don't be afraid to just keep restarting wave 1 to get the most comfy lineup. While they don't enrage from killing one, you need to keep all of them up to make the most out of HP+ from Squall to hit turns.

LeonBalthier EX+3LBBarret EX+3LBDaspharaohhttps://youtu.be/e952T50UfegShivaLeon is viable here, most of the attacks are non-elemental. Keep an eye out for CId on the first wave and OK on the third. If you don't have Faris or Balthier this tier is nigh impossible.

Balthier EX+3LBSquall EX+3LBLocke EX+3LBSsvegettohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AWHRKg8BfwShivaYou need a dispeller for this one, as several manikins have strong buffs, Cait Sith, Ramza, Agrias. Try to keep their brave in check so they dont hp attack you.
LeonFaris EX+1LBLyse EX+3LBXcaliblur 1https://youtu.be/w-DpAt9sZJYRamuhLeon cheeses this fight making most of the manikins heal your brave with their attacks. watch out for wave 3 lightning and OK who has elemental attacks. Summon and focus one down here
Balthier EX+3LBLeonLilisette EX+1LBAarolei/Leileehttps://youtu.be/VFdOyEjBOxkLeviathanA dispeller makes it possible to not have to deal with the manikins healing themselves. AoE attacks can help keep brave in check so the enemies do not use their hp attacks.

Faris EX+3LBSelphieSquall EX+3LBPalladhttps://youtu.be/ugH-xDqgx38LeviathanFaris for the dispels, Squall for the damage and Selphie for the heals/EX charge. This stage is a joke with this team, just make sure you're killing the healers first. I did it first try, no resets.
Lyse EX+3LBFaris EX+3LBWarrior of Light EX+0LBScarletClairehttps://youtu.be/OhRLb-KVSvgRamuhNot initial clear (like Tier 3, same team but capture failed). A dispeller is desperately needed here: every "big wave" has a healer. Wave 3 is actually the hardest because of OK. One reset for wave 5.

Squall EX+3LBFaris EX+1LBSelphiekeihttps://youtu.be/uPBdke3lvxQLeviathanTry to target Seifer, Yang, Lightning and Ramza as often as you can (e.g. with AoE skills) because they launch easier compared to the other manikins
Faris EX+3LBLyse EX+3LBRem EX+3LBRed XIIIhttps://youtu.be/kKKYNoA6E4IBrothersThis fight is really a very textbook "breaking in order while not getting broken" type of fight. I originally had Agrias instead of Lyse in here but I couldn't see any other good use of Lyse in the near future so I used her here.
Warrior of Light EX+3LBFaris EX+0LBSquall EX+3LBGeneral Solidorhttps://youtu.be/34W1EugRuWUShivaMagic Resist Theme - WoL makes this simple his shields work so well you can be aggressive and Squall is just here for damage checking. Faris has her amazing debuffs forever along with battery from Syldra and overflow up.
Agrias EX+3LBWarrior of Light EX+2LBFaris EX+3LBgmshugohttps://youtu.be/Wjm_Wgqqyg8ShivaPerformed this battle on December 2019 with Summon Board x4
Kimahri EX+3LBBalthier EX+0LBCecil (Dark Knight)Big Alhttps://youtu.be/BnQfJwtzwUcShivaI have Vincent's E attack down sphere on Kimahri. Wave 1: Nova as much as you can and don't be afraid to spam Balthier's skill's to get rid of buffs, saves time. Take advantage of DK's launch whenver the opportunity presents itself. Trash waves 2/4: Save skills as much as possible, keep Ronso Trait's on Kimahri up. Launches are perfect here. Wave 3: Repeat strat for wave 1 but tone down Balthier Skill usage a bit. Use skills in dangerous situations. Wave 5: Try to time nova with Pheonix ray if not, it actually won't do much with Kimahri's defense buff + attack down sphere. A good RNG is needed in wave 1 so you don't waste time with regens. My Balthier isn't MLB'd he's missing 35 CP weapon. This is where I reset a few times. Tight turn count for this team. My most budget one probably
Basch EX+3LBFaris EX+3LBCloud EX+3LBKainHighwind27https://youtu.be/cFdQy2AtzUQ?t=4607ShivaBasch's Fulminating Darkness is useful in all the waves, so I used it at least once per wave. On wave one, I killed Cait Sith first to make sure he doesn't redo the Regen buff after you Dispel it, but you have to be careful of Cid. He'll one shot you if you're not careful. Wave 3 is the most dangerous one here. You want to take Agrias out first, because she can heal the party, and Paralyze your teammates. Afterwards you do want to take out Lightning and OK quick, because they can build their BRV really fast and kill you.

Galuf EX+3LBCait Sith EX+0LBVincent EX+3LB555k118CaterDawnhttps://youtu.be/utoGL5QVC2MShivaVoice commentaryRound 1: The Cid and Cait Sith manakins are you biggest issues. Deal with them first as Cid can one shot a party member and Cait Sith heals. Sefier is of no worry since he only has one HP attack.

Round 2: Be weary of Yang Focus and Kain Jump 3 for High turn rate, other wise, easy round.

Round 3: Lightning and OK can be fast and gain ridiculous turn rate off breaks. Agrias can be annoying with healing and a small chance of paralysis. Personally, beat Agrias first to stop the healing, then stop either LIghting or OK next depending on who is the bigger threat.

Round 4: No concern, just a break round before the Final Round.

Final Round: Kill Locke first, then Sephiroth. Locke can heal the enemy party if he gets his AoE attack off. Sephiroth will slow down the party with Jenova and his first attack will always be Octoslash. Auron will spam Purgatory when he has no BRV or is broken, and Punishing blade when he has BRV. Summoning in this stage is ideal.
