Lyse EX+3LB | Faris EX+3LB | Agrias EX+3LB | Infi | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX0jdZIMKjw | Shiva | This 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+3LB | Squall EX+3LB | Freya | mzpro2 | https://youtu.be/0MEpnZpmc4s | Shiva | YES 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+3LB | Setzer EX+3LB | Lilisette EX+3LB | esb422 | https://youtu.be/QsWbRQ0TsXE | Shiva | This team requires some luck, but it demonstrates how tactical use of Locke's Steal Item can help those without a dedicated dispeller. | |||
Faris EX+3LB | Squall EX+3LB | Freya | Jin Lee | https://youtu.be/51HLRqFmNC8 | Shiva | Freya 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+0LB | Squall EX+3LB | Warrior of Light EX+3LB | Firezz | https://youtu.be/txuIXcvOB3o | Shiva | Initial Clear. | |||
Balthier EX+3LB | Squall EX+3LB | Basch EX+0LB | Sidra_Games | https://youtu.be/RSf2SXMMSXk | Ifrit | Magic 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. | |||
Faris | Rem EX+3LB | Squall EX+3LB | Jelis W | https://youtu.be/irFuz5Ww7vY | Leviathan | There'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+3LB | Basch EX+3LB | Locke EX+3LB | Gaanro | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRpvJMO_iVU | Ramuh | No 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+3LB | Warrior of Light EX+3LB | Vincent EX+3LB | dethkab5 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TM3Reh6U18 | Shiva | Magic 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. | |||
Agrias EX+3LB | Faris EX+3LB | Tidus EX+3LB | marvin | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5WmGiQEf8U | Leviathan | ||||
Squall EX+3LB | Selphie | Faris EX+0LB | Emethavatar | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MzwmQ5KppQ&list=PLmMZ4xahTR7yLr-DlKTrFHw2q47yJbTw-&index=10 | Ramuh | Voice 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. | |||
Squall EX+3LB | Faris EX+3LB | Selphie | DFFOO GL SO | https://youtu.be/DtQxziXInN0 | Leviathan | Tier Gimmick: Resist Magic 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+3LB | Balthier EX+1LB | Lilisette EX+1LB | Tequila7 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXnf-p3DVrg | Shiva | Have 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+3LB | Selphie | Faris EX+3LB | Batisat | https://youtu.be/zhrk0Or5wy4 | Shiva | Potentially 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. | |||

Leon | Balthier EX+3LB | Barret EX+3LB | Daspharaoh | https://youtu.be/e952T50Ufeg | Shiva | Leon 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+3LB | Squall EX+3LB | Locke EX+3LB | Ssvegetto | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AWHRKg8Bfw | Shiva | You 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. | |||
Leon | Faris EX+1LB | Lyse EX+3LB | Xcaliblur 1 | https://youtu.be/w-DpAt9sZJY | Ramuh | Leon 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+3LB | Leon | Lilisette EX+1LB | Aarolei/Leilee | https://youtu.be/VFdOyEjBOxk | Leviathan | A 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+3LB | Selphie | Squall EX+3LB | Pallad | https://youtu.be/ugH-xDqgx38 | Leviathan | Faris 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+3LB | Faris EX+3LB | Warrior of Light EX+0LB | ScarletClaire | https://youtu.be/OhRLb-KVSvg | Ramuh | Not 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+3LB | Faris EX+1LB | Selphie | kei | https://youtu.be/uPBdke3lvxQ | Leviathan | Try 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+3LB | Lyse EX+3LB | Rem EX+3LB | Red XIII | https://youtu.be/kKKYNoA6E4I | Brothers | This 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+3LB | Faris EX+0LB | Squall EX+3LB | General Solidor | https://youtu.be/34W1EugRuWU | Shiva | Magic 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. | |||

Kimahri EX+3LB | Balthier EX+0LB | Cecil (Dark Knight) | Big Al | https://youtu.be/BnQfJwtzwUc | Shiva | I 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+3LB | Faris EX+3LB | Cloud EX+3LB | KainHighwind27 | https://youtu.be/cFdQy2AtzUQ?t=4607 | Shiva | Basch'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+3LB | Cait Sith EX+0LB | Vincent EX+3LB | 555k | 118 | CaterDawn | https://youtu.be/utoGL5QVC2M | Shiva | Voice commentary | Round 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. |
