You'll hit your head and say: 'Boy, how stupid could I have been. A moron could've figured this out. I must be a real dimwit. A pathetic nimnal. A wretched idiotic excuse for a human being for not having figured these simple puzzles out in the first place...As usual, you've been a real pantload!
Alright, 5 tickets on the PC banner:


Chizuru
Kain
Medius
Luna
Zidane (#6).


I guess I'll quit while I'm ahead again.

Edit: I also have 8 Ludmilles. Life is good when it comes to Dual-abilities.

I've had 9 Sheras.

That was also my 9th Chizuru. I have 4 of her TM, all ground up from 0-100% because each time I pulled one I thought "this will be the last one!"

Bedile Count: 19

Trickier than you'd think, because you still absolutely have to seal holy, because Excalibur cannot be dodged. Let's see.

Lightning:
Passive: 30
Kiyomori/Excalibur: 10 + holy seal
Ring of the Lucii: 25
Safety Bit: Death Immunity
Discernment: Status Immunity (gotta block Paralyze)
3 Shines: 30

95% dodge is not enough, I know this from experience. Even if we get the Genji Shield soon, it comes out to 95% as well, because you need to drop a Shine for Equip H Shield. Now, anyone out there with a Draculasswell can get around this with their friggin Vampire Cloak. (Man I really, really want that TM, more than any other)

With the Genji shield it's definitely possible for Noctis to have 100% evasion and solo Gilgamesh, even if Lightning can't pull it off. But yeah Draculasswell's TM makes so many things possible that might not otherwise be.

Also added my info to the spreadsheet. I don't post too often since I've stopped being helpfully knowledgeable about the game, but I'm still following the thread often enough.

So are there any good baseline value goals for damage, durability, or sustain for the Gilgamesh Trial? I've gotten to about 60% Hp with NinjaDebugger's Lightning, but I'm hoping I can do a full clear before he switches builds and of course am running out of time for that.

My core team is Y'shtola, Greg (Excal/Chirij), Noctis, and I'm debating between Cecil (w/DC materia) or Exdeath (depending on Esper, adds a lot better elemental coverage). I think either way I can cover all the elements well enough, but I don't know if I'm lacking somewhere numerically to endure past the final threshold to let that glorious 100% Evade Lightning carry me to victory.

You could throw golem staff on Greg and give Noctis a trident and chiri and have all your bases covered. Definitely bring DC Cecil. It's an endurance fight more than anything.

It's been about four months since we refreshed the Goonsheet, so Pre-Orlandu is a pretty good time to weed out the inactives.

Seonding DC Cecil. Exdeath is far too squishy to have much of an impact on the fight unless you pump him full of +HP materia, physical attacks are way more important than magic (for sealing) and an off healer is super useful.

Noctis, however, cannot hit 150% fire resist. He can't wear Flame Mail (Heavy Armor). Same problem as Lightning and H Shields.

That said, aside from that:
Passive (20)
Ring/Die (45)
4 Shines (40)

IF you had two rings, you could do it. You could then drop a Shine for Equip H Armor. Two rings would do it for Lightning, too, that last 5% is the doozy.

Whoo, Gilgamesh Trial cleared! Messed up the LB finish, but got all the other requirements just fine. That was some darn good evade cheese, NinjaDebugger, I appreciate it a lot! And folks are right, I was crazy to discount DC Cecil. I messed up elemental control a bit, if I'd shuffled espers around and paid better attention my whole party probably could've gotten through but I'm just glad to have the bulk of the sweet loot.

Good luck to everyone pulling for Cid tomorrow, I'm just looking forward to finishing this Thundaga Blade TM myself. 85% and counting!

I usually see one Excalibur and one sword on JP, since he gets bonuses for both weapons natively (I think? I know he does after enhancements, as well as katanas) and swords let you put on Leon's TM and get that fat 50% bonus along with heavy armor. Other than that it's pretty standard buff your attack, have a source of dual wield. You want him chaining holy damage with someone (usually himself) so having a weapon source of holy, the skill's holy weak effect, and the sick nasty combo/element chain bonuses all work together to pump out massive damage.

Yun really likes Yun.
Also he seems to hate Gilgamesh, I can't get him to work with TriAttack at all.

Yun really only chains with Yun. His attack hits too fast to chain with anyone else. If one units attack hits twice in a row it breaks the chain and Yun's attack have like a 3 frame delay between each hit. Most of the chain skills like chainsaw have around a 7 frame delay between each hit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/FFBraveExvius/comments/5dbam6/jp_multihit_chain_referencehit_data/
If you want to see what the average frames between hits are. Granted these are JP characters so it doesn't show Yun in there or any global exclusives.
