Tip: Make a party with two of the required summon/characters + a fast group damage dealer and you can clear the character usage missions while also farming the required monsters.
Ghost types x10
Noctis’ Lost Chapter: Royal Hope Pt. 3 (Normal difficulty) has 5 Ghosts in 3 waves, completing the mission in 2 fights.
Magic Pot x3
World of Illusion: Carbuncle’s Treasures is the only source for them. The appearance chances is totally random, but it’s easier to find them on the stages with higher SP costs.
Kactuar x5
The Flowering Kactuars can randomly appear on any of the Cycle Quests EXCEPT the one with Golden Cactuars!
