No Death mission for the Dark Beasts completed, and the Large Sword Mastery is mine. Firion's going to love this, since he can end a friend TGC's chain with my Excalibur.

... oh my god, now my decision to get Excalibur back then is vindicated.

Asagi/Ifrit w/Genji Blade, Sakurafubuki, Dark Helm, Demon Mail, RUler's Ring, Ifrit's Claw, Dual Wield, Blade Mastery, Bird Killer, Power of Creation

Minfilia/Siren w/Cobalt Winglet, Crown of Justice, Antecedent's Attire, Meteor Survivor Ring x2, MP +15%, Hydaelyn Guard, Imperial Helm x2
Refia/Carbuncle w/Golden Staff, Black Bandanna, Vestment of Mind, Domination Ring x2, Shard of Genius, Camouflage, HP +15%, Dualcast
Xon/Diabolos w/Winged Saint, Soul Crown, Mirage Vest, Rabbit's Foot, Patches, Hydaelyn Guard x2, Guardian's Authority, Bushido - Freedom
Friend: TGC/Ifrit w/1008 ATK + Ifrit's Claw

The key to my victory is taking care of Ifrit first, slowly and carefully. First turn is setup with Xon using B-F to undo Siren's party buff (I let the party Dark weak debuff be), Pecil and Refia setting up Embolden and Focus, then it's on to business. TGC and Asagi chain Phantom Shadow and Divine Ruination (though I threw a couple of Crush Weapons Ifrit's way) while all Minfilia does is rotate Shadow Guard -> Fire Guard -> Aqua Guard all day everyday.

When a scripted buff happens Xon gets rid off it and spreads the love around. Pecil provokes to draw Siren's blasted Osmose, and Refia heals HP and status effects. If Xon is free, he resupplies the party with items. After Dark Ifrit dies, the fight becomes much easier with only one ****er throwing blasted AoE spells around. She still Osmoses like crazy though. And I think I messed up somewhere, because Dark Siren did TWO full heals, once after Dark Ifrit dies, and another when I put her in critical sometime later. No worries mate, she deeeeeeeaaaaaadddddd, and the prize is mine.

You know what's sweet that I just realized?

Twist of Fate only takes the positive status effects from the boss and doesn't pass on the bad ones to the party.

Xon is ****ing awesome. Best Thief.

I'll do the 5 man team one... never. Maybe. Pecil seems to be the one that does the least, maybe I can do it without him?

Also Carbuncle was a huge mistake, since Refia turned out to be the one that gets hit with the most damage, but the only other free Esper is Odin. I guess I can give Refia Diabolos and Xon Odin for an even easier time, but that's all in the past.but that's in the past.
