Zack EX+3LB | Ignis EX+3LB | Bartz EX+3LB | Infi | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYScVGHApNg | Brothers | First of all this fight seems short since it's only three waves, but don't let that fool you. The 2nd wave consits of the damn beetles from Rosa's LC and they back and as agressive as ever, make sure Zacks taunt and shield are up at all times and prepare in advance to reapply your taunts after they use 'Hatred Power' | |||
Warrior of Light EX+0LB | Vanille EX+3LB | Rosa EX+3LB | mzpro2 | https://youtu.be/UtMxwL6_gSM | Leviathan | When any beetle enraged have Wol provoke him and always have Wol brv above 20k so you guarantee not to be broken, have Vanille use "deprotect" after they remove all the debuffs, and with rosa she will mostly be capped so do hp attack. | |||

Aranea EX+3LB | Warrior of Light EX+3LB | Vanille EX+3LB | Sidra_Games | https://youtu.be/fVVJQwnr5Qw | Shiva | WoL freed from 1, video on tab 2. Wave 2 bosses can still break even with WoL's shield so be careful. | |||
Ignis EX+3LB | Setzer EX+3LB | Zack EX+3LB | Jelis W | https://youtu.be/3Ib9GapgOLU | Brothers | Just need to be careful when the Crust Beetles hit about 50%, as they'll remove all debuffs--including Zack's taunt. If you accidentally trigger that right before their turn, and they switch targets to someone who has just dumped brv, you're screwed. Other than that, if you have Zack and Ignis, this is fairly easy. Was more conservative than I needed to be and barely touched Setzer's Freezes, which is a waste. Also I forgot to switch Ignis over to Papa Bird stance before summon lol | |||
Rosa EX+3LB | Vanille EX+3LB | Irvine EX+3LB | Gaanro | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw7HFwF2og4 | Leviathan | Voice Commentary. On Wave 2, wait on using Irvine's skills until you know which beetle uses Hatred Power so you don't waste skills reapplying debuffs. Be very careful of the moment when one beetle's HP drops below 50%, because they both go into Hatred Power mode, and can change targets. Just play it safe in general. On the last wave, try to burst it down in the summon before it uses Fogga. This will be after it uses Shear for the first time. You won't kill it, but it you won't need to deal with it's annoying debuffs for very long. | |||

MVP: Zack EX+3LB Maintain full HP for Zack after killing off the Crust Beetles. Do ensure debuff evasion buff is up during fight against Kaiser Behemoth or characters skill will be disabled if hit by Fog. | |||
Eight EX+3LB | Yuna EX+0LB | Y'shtola EX+3LB | Tequila7 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58AOJgypGpY | Brothers | Previously cleared with Zack, Ignis, Sherlotta. Manipulated Eight's HP to be the highest and Yuna to extend Phantom Rush buff. Yuna & Y'sh to keep topping the party with brv and maximise Eight's counter dmg output. Bosses should mostly target Eight since he has the highest max HP due to their AI. | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Lenna | Rinoa EX+3LB | Batisat | https://youtu.be/Pq_ZSK2aSWE | Leviathan | Take note of the current bug where "If Zack's EX cast shield value will be lower than current Shield value, don't replace shield regardless of duration". It may cost you the run. | |||

Eight EX+3LB | Eiko EX+3LB | Aphmau | Daspharaoh | https://youtu.be/LLLRQEfT2Do | Brothers | Had to reset twice for the perfect because of bad targeting on Eight. Debuff prevention is very nice, but not required. A tank or some sort of BRV mitigation IS required or you will not survive wave 2 | |||

Zack EX+3LB | Rosa EX+3LB | Ignis EX+3LB | Ssvegetto | https://youtu.be/y9fhG4mRdFw | Brothers | Zack helps a lot in tanking and together with Rosa and Ignis Debuff prevention this stage is not to hard | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Bartz EX+3LB | Ignis EX+2LB | Xcaliblur 1 | https://youtu.be/7hItZe45asI | Brothers | the beetles are the real challenge. pay attention to whom their attacking and don't let them break that character. Keep ignis in memory pastry stance and switch to bowl right before you summon to Max damage. | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Firion EX+3LB | Ignis EX+2LB | Aarolei/Leilee | https://youtu.be/nK912uLnblI | Ifrit | A stage showcasing the power of good tanks and supports. The lowest turn count requirement tower currently, keep in mind as you put a team together. | |||

Zack EX+3LB | Ignis EX+0LB | Emperor EX+3LB | Pallad | https://youtu.be/9DqtPzR7PwM | Brothers | Zack works fantastically in this stage, and if you're planning on bringing The Emperor make sure to time your traps because all 3 bosses like to esuna themselves. 1 try no resets. | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Ramza | Ignis EX+0LB | ScarletClaire | https://youtu.be/cLli3vy3FlQ | Brothers | Not initial clear, missed the score requirement with Seven instead of Ramza. Ramza is still doing god work, boosting Zack's attack and Ignis' BRV regen | |||

Vanille EX+3LB | Eight EX+3LB | Agrias EX+3LB | Red XIII | https://youtu.be/9Hb3g1ombT0 | Brothers | I wasn't really sure If I should use more skills in wave 2, I ended up with lots of skills to spare for the Behemoth. Eight really shines in fights like this where you're almost certain the boss is going to target him. Vanille's debuffs are godsend and her fast charging EX helped with the damage. I was so concetrated I completely forgot about Agrias cs65 and could't even make the best out of it. | |||

Zack EX+3LB | Ignis EX+3LB | Selphie | General Solidor | https://youtu.be/g4az3LD8D9I | Brothers | No gimmicky theme for this tier - Zack is on tank duty here, make sure you don't get broken by beetles or you will die. Ignis is here for battery and debuff protection. Selphie has her iBrv party up boost and Aura EX ability which is amazing for Zack's and Ignis. | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Ignis EX+0LB | Bartz EX+3LB | KawaiiSteez | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHvzFqfNbDg | Brothers | Annoying stage but it should be easier because i fell victim to the Zack bug on his EX. Keep that shield up dont get broken and use Bartz for that gravity. Ignis helps battery and keeps you safe from debufs with his memory dish | |||

Warrior of Light EX+3LB | Bartz EX+3LB | Ultimecia EX+3LB | Big Al | https://youtu.be/rOQgJcmefuY | Shiva | Wave 1: Don't get confused by the imps. Wave 2: Keep shield's up. In hatred mode they can break a fresh shield with their blaze attack so protect whoever is targeted by either brv attacking or giving them brv through battery. Wave 3: Battery through the attack down debuff, let WoL eat single target attacks. Resets: I had to reset a couple of times on the beetles if I got them to half health which forces them into rage mode and they randomly switch targets. When they both go into rage mode at the same time I use WOL's C65. | |||
Zack EX+3LB | Ignis EX+2LB | Golbez EX+3LB | KainHighwind27 | https://youtu.be/9Jbb2xxO4cw | Shiva | Two things to keep in mind about the Crust Beetles. When they use Hated Power, they remove all debuffs (including taunt), and the final AoE attack the use WILL NOT trigger the kill attack if someone gets broken. You and Ignis in the Pastry stance for this whole fight basically, to avoid any debuffs. Keep in mind the Kaiser Behemoth will heal itself early on in the fight, and will remove all debuffs when it does. It has alot of health, but doesn't do much damage for you to worry about. | |||

Edge EX+3LB | Eiko EX+1LB | Eight | 508k | 97 | Lyse Lover | https://youtu.be/CNVQSGnF3_k | Ifrit | You just need luck and patience. The clue is Eight counter as much as possible. Try to use his def down debuff wisely. After many resets i can say that is better to summon on Behemoth rather than Bugs. Save all or almost all Edges skill 2 for summon wave - he battery pretty well. And you can use Edges skill 2 after Bugs prepare to self-buff or when they used "all" attack for refresh Edges Eblan buff. | |

I tried evasion at first, however, Zack and Selphie make for a very powerful physical BRV damage reduction combo. It made taking the hits a lot more bearable. For the third slot, bring a heavy dps. |

Wave 3 is RNG due to skill lock. |
