Garland EX+3LBMachina EX+3LBY'shtola EX+3LBInfihttps://youtu.be/AR5Gp51-YRAShivaTier 4 is a battle of attrition, characters that have longevity flourish in this tier. Save summon for tier 4 just before the scorpion is about to die to maximise damage on Ultima to force her recovery as early as possible.
Zack EX+3LBNoneNonemzpro2https://youtu.be/H9sBz7IIB88IfritI finally soloed this stage with zack. 2 important thing about this, 1st is you really need some rng luck to pass the 1st wave, 2nd YOU REALLY NEED SOME RNG LUCK TO PASS THE 5TH WAVE, that's all.
Cloud EX+3LBY'shtola EX+3LBSherlottaesb422https://youtu.be/P71fopkmMkEIfritThis team is overkill. I will very likely do swaps as I get "weaker" EX+ characters online.

Yuna EX+3LBLyse EX+0LBTifa EX+3LBGaanrohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UygE2aZ_lywIfritVoice Commentary. For Wave 2, just simply avoid breaks. Use Yuna to try to save party members from break/bad turn orders. Summon before the dragon/yellow head does it's AoE attack and kill it ASAP. Wave 5 is more of a marathon so make sure to go for plenty of free skills and HP+ attacks. Also, make sure Yuna has a good amount of Cheers to stay in the damage requirement.
Squall EX+3LBSelphieY'shtola EX+3LBdethkab5https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4gRRCf8uv5oShivaDebuff Immune, Boss Rush. Wave 1 the enemy can apply Stone which will not be cleared unless you defeat it or simply Esuna youself if you bring Yuna. Lenna works great here as well. Selphie's Aura lets Squall dish out some massive damage more frequently which I felt this team lacked. Wave 3 was odd: after it's HP is less than half it will do an aoe brave+hp attack that I can never survive no matter what comp I used. Also, considering that Wave 5 the boss negates your summon, I decided to summon here on Wave 3 once I see it's about to use the Sandstorm attack - it must be taken down before it can use it. The last boss can also replenish its health to full once after you take out half its hp.

I've heard Lightning will be able to SOLO this stage once she's realized! She's able to muddle through as-is right now, though.

Battle Data and more tips at the video description.
MVP: Y'shtola EX+3LB
Wave 1: Catelopeas can petrify. Kill before all got pertified.
Wave 2: Stone Chimera Golem is extra tanky. Expect to use to lots of skills here. Dispel its buff with Cloud's WoL passive.
Wave 3: Asaroth has high turn rate. Avoid BRV breaks.
Wave 4: Cray Claw can hit hard damage upon breaking. Be prepared to use summon before killing it.
Wave 5: Ultima will locks summon upon starting the battle. Defeat and it will restore back to full HP at 50% threshold. Keep your party HP above 50% to avoid Petrification.
Cloud EX+3LBCait SithTifa EX+3LBTequila7https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbgvXdYj3fEShivaPrevious cleared with Lenna in place of Cait Sith
Conserve skill uses for Wave 1,3 & 4. Good HP+ and batteries work well here.
Watch your turn order & the boss target. Summon on wave 2 if required.
Reset if you get bad turn orders.
Garland EX+0LBY'shtola EX+3LBAphmauBatisathttps://youtu.be/bzxA7YsgZVAShivaTry to time your summon on wave 4 so that you get the most out of wave 5 since wave 5 prevents you from summoning anyway.

Tifa EX+3LBBartz EX+3LBWarrior of Light EX+0LBDaspharaohhttps://youtu.be/LnmVuLiOHIcShivaVideo is initial clear. Hardest wave is the last. Got hit with a strong HP attack at the end and had to stall to recover enough to get the perfect. Tifa destroys this tier.

Cloud EX+3LBY'shtola EX+3LBMachina EX+0LBSsvegettohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQnDz-NkFbUShivaPretty straight forward, just dont get broken too much, otherwise Y'shtola heals and batteries help a lot.

Lyse EX+3LBCait SithLocke EX+3LBUltima [ITA]https://youtu.be/WLTRFTt_13gBahamutThis is my fourth team. I reperformed T4 this time to unlock Selphie and put there an EX base Cait Sith that I don't want to invest on

Cloud EX+3LBSherlottaAgrias EX+3LBPalladhttps://youtu.be/dWNJqqRIdvIIfritReally hard stage if you don't have Y'shtola/Machina. Make sure Cloud has the WoI weapon passive so he can dispel the chimera buffs and slow it down. I struggled a lot on this one more than 10 resets.
Y'shtola EX+3LBMachina EX+0LBCloud EX+3LBScarletClairehttps://youtu.be/GSGWfWZ6s5sShivaInitial Clear. Nothing much to say, going full burst on dmg. Cloud is actually really good here, both for dmg and dispel. Just don't forget to summon right before the final blow on wave 4.

Cloud EX+3LBCecil (Dark Knight)Y'shtola EX+3LBRed XIIIhttps://youtu.be/PySaAiLjEBUBrothersCecil found his place in DE with this battle. Boss rush style fights are my favorite. You can't summon on the last wave so use it either on the Chimera to burst it down or on the Scorpion right before you kill it. Beware of the angel as she will kill you if you let her break you.
LennaY'shtola EX+3LBRamzaGeneral Solidorhttps://youtu.be/jHko5dBRm5wBrothersDebuff Immune Theme - Team iBrv/Regen used for this tier. Not much other to say about it just lots of healing and brv regens along with Lenna and her debuff immunity which is works very well here, because lots of annoying debuffs.

CidGarland EX+3LBY'shtola EX+3LBBig Alhttps://youtu.be/GAsngxOHWM8IfritThe strat: Obvi delay until Kingdom Come. I just wanted to use Cid cause he's a fave, possibly THE FAVE. Go a little crazy with the delay's in the first 2 waves, especially to save summon for the end of fourth wave. Use the 3rd/4th waves to recover skill's with Y'shtola while using HP+/Dragon on Garland/Cid. Summon at end of 4th wave. I got some butter fingers and mix'd up Cid's rotation which set me back a little but not a big deal
Machina EX+0LBSelphieLocke EX+3LBKainHighwind27https://youtu.be/cFdQy2AtzUQ?t=3298ShivaGet Wall up immediately to avoid getting Stoned in the first wave. Keep in mind Wall doesn't mitigate debuffs 100%, so the Stone may still go through and force you to reset. 2nd wave is the hardest boss, as it can do an AoE BRV-HP attack that wil do a ton of damage if you're not careful. I used my summon here to make sure it went down before it could use the attack. Wave 3 goes down pretty quickly, just make sure you don't get broken. Keep in mind the final wave will heal itself when it's health goes below half, so the fight will take longer than it initially looks

Cecil (Dark Knight) EX+3LBNoneNone356k100Ginoong Hidarihttps://youtu.be/VyhWDDa5PjQLeviathanSolo run1. Last stand is MVP. Start every wave with enough HP to trigger it.
2. Avoid getting breaks. Generally, use brave heal on turns before the enemy moves.
3. For unavoidable break (wave 2 chimera on low HP), end your turn with HP++
4. Using S2 to break at the 2nd turn of each wave will usually give you 3 consecutive turns. I do this until I get 2 consecutive turns.
5. HP poison debuff from wave 4 scorpion can screw you on wave 5; use AA to pseudo-remove it.
6. On wave 5- use hp++ heal on final attack. This is to secure the HP requirement of the quest.
