MalcolmMasher 07/17/21 5:28:13 PM #60:	Finally took down a Dragonking (VII), just in time. Physical team of Tifa/Cloud/Yuffie, plus Aeris for healing; no FB counter (my first attempts used Mog but he kept dying), so instead I brought Cait Sith, who needed to have BSB and Warrior's Hymn going in Phase 3 to keep my damage from being crippled by Cardia BS. Phase 1 was mostly about figuring out how many resources I could conserve for Phase 2; Phase 2 was about bashing my head into a wall trying to figure out when I needed to use SBs so that I wouldn't get interrupted, have my bars drained, die to super moves, or die to Sap. The big hurdle in Phase 3 was Bahamut's mega-savage; what got me through it was having Cloud rely on USB1 for Phase 1, so that he could activate AASB + Sync in Phase 2 and be able to doublecast Cmd2 in Phase 3. And also about being able to unload Cloud AOSB and Tifa TASB afterwards, that helped a lot. Sap-related aside: You know how dying to Sap before your instant cast heal goes off sucks? Well, Bahamut VII mostly uses Poison, he only inflicts Sap once... and his next attack is timed to go off exactly before the Sap ticks. (It's also a two-hit attack, one weak and one very strong; if you use Cait USB2 to overwrite Sap, Bahamut still gets 90% of his damage through your Damage Barrier 75.) I suspect the reason Bahamut doesn't speed up at high savage levels, like some other bosses do, is because they don't want anything to interfere with their evil timing window. Anyway, if this spurs you to think "hey, that's right, there's a ticket on the line, I should try for it"... honestly, I wouldn't recommend it. I mean, make your team, try the fight once or twice, and if it seems like something you won't be able to master in the next couple of hours, it probably isn't. Put the tablet down and enjoy your weekend. In related news, I gave up on Spiraling Depths after floor 81. Ticket was Sice AASB. I don't know when I last used her and don't have plans to use her in the future, but still, new awakening. --- I don't like this duchy. Now, it's an adventurer. <cite>MalcolmMasher posted [p:956185355] in Final Fant... [t:79556370]...</cite> <quote>Finally took down a Dragonking (VII), just in time.
