These guides are only released at least one day after the event has launched, because they are based on first-hand experience from testing and beating the fight with different team comps and strategies. And that takes a good amount of time!

Boss Mechanics

General tips from ScottOng and MZPro2

  • The Antlions are immune to launches. No abusing CidMau here!
  • Bring a dispeller (Beatrix, Arciela) or block all the boss slots with framed debuffs. Boss will buff itself with 3 framed buffs whenever it subsequently uses Sandstorm+ at 69%, 39%, 19%. One of the framed buffs gives the boss an additional 50% DEF boost that is very noticeable. Calls that dispel also work here (e.g. Faris base call, Vanille base call, Shelke LDCA, Beatrix LDCA).
  • HP Attack Disable (such as from Arciela or Kefka) is a very effective tactic for this fight, since none of the enemies resist it.
  • Debuff calls that freeze BRV gains or inflict Sap are useful here – e.g. Faris LDCA, Gabranth LDCA, Setzer, Arciela.
  • Odin is a good summon for this as the boss will help you to trigger the blessing. You can use Ramuh or Leviathan summon to help with the orb. Diabolos is great for teams with enchanters.
  • Removing HP passives prior to starting the fight will help minimize the healing needed to meet the HP requirements. A burst heal call like Rem, Porom, PCecil, Ignis could help.
