Kicked in trial Bahamut's head. Hit the same no mega flare glitch which is fine with me. Firion, Sakura, Y'sholta, Marie and friend Noctis. No Esper kill but whatever.

All of these trust moogles with no guarantee if getting any of the units is annoying. At least the Ifrit raid you knew you'd eventually get them all.

I'm going to see a lot of the Crimson Blood TM in this event, huh? Let me see if Reberta is a prize... oh wait the Achievement Status button is not working.

This came up the last two raids. It works.

It just takes forever to load properly.

ELT Raid Shadow Bahamas melts now that I have a 722 ATK Orlandeu. More TMs are baking, at about 20% each. Switch Controls on an old phone work great. :getin:

Trial Bahamut... ouch. That is all.

How do you engage this glitch? Is it activated by tears?

Should I switch my friend character from Marie to Orlandeu? 722 ATK.

Cleared up some friend slots for anyone who wants an ELT raid carry.

Not sure how consistent it is but I killed him a couple times without any buffs/debuffs with just Fryevia using frost flower blitz in 4 turns. With a MAG buff and SPR debuff should be easily able to kill him in 2-3 turns with Fryevia alone.

Edit: Swapped out a LA for dragon killer and now she solos ELT in 3 turns.

Raid Bahamut is easy, because he can be MAG broken. Bring friend Orlandu, break weapon, laugh at his pitiful attempts to hurt you. Generally takes me 3-4 rounds to kill him, but if I have Orlandu breaking his weapons and Minfilia boosting my spr he can't touch me.

Trial Bahamut, on the other hand, cannot be MAG broken, and I don't have the HP to survive. Sadness, it looks like I won't be getting those rewards.

Bring a friend Orlandu and you can OHKO him if you go all-in on offense. Lean heavily on a whale Orlandu buddy if you don't have excalibur and dual wield. Though durandal and dual wield is probably still plenty since your whale buddy (900+ atk) will get to do a murderchain of their own regardless of your Orlandu's damage. Give your Orlandu Odin as well for the Dragon Killer passive.

disclaimer: My Orlandu's sitting at 924atk (with a Ribbon) and I usually bring 900+atk buddies, but I also do around 6-7m damage with zero buffs and only the Orlandu DR chain. :black101:

I eventually got one on the Xon banner but it took something like 8 or 9 gold crystals. Patches hangs out in storage with Xon when he isn't needed for breaking a fight's mechanics.

Nah, I saw your or somebody else's post that did and knew if that happened to me I'd put my phone/fist/face through a wall. I still have a set for Freyjia's Needle and at the rate this event is going I'll have another for Firion and Reberta's TMR too!

The esper kill is easy. Fill your esper summon bar, then get him down low. Slowly whittle away at him with normal attacks until there is just a sliver left, a single red pixel. If you gently caress it up and kill him, force close the app and reset the turn. Summon Odin for the kill.

I had to force close my app like 18 times because of Olive and her Mortar firing again when you resume from a force close.

Welp, I dunno if I can field a tanky enough team for trial bahamut, but my Olive's kicking ELT's teeth in. Stacked poach + Odin's dragonkiller is no joke. Gonna get a lot more raid pulls than I was able to on the Ifrit banner, and there's burst pots to be had this time! Eat the pots Olive. Eat them all.

Based on an analysis of the AI, Shadow Bahamut will never use Megaflare again if you knock Shadow Bahamut to the 40% threshold on your 2nd, 5th, 8th turn (or any multiple of 3 minus 1).

After 3 attempts at doing bahamut trial today I am throwing in the towel. I don't have a whale team, and I don't have hardly any TMs. Even using guard order on minfilia turn 1 and guarding with everyone else his first megaflare kills everyone except Noctis and Y'shtola, and I don't have the ability to bring people back and heal fast enough to recover. Even a friend olive with 5k health died to that megaflare.

^^^ My Olive took over 12k damage from megaflare since they weren't guarding. It looks like if you don't have 6k or more HP you need to have SPR in the mid 200s to maybe not die even with a SPR buff up. Even my Refia, who has around 470 SPR, can die from full HP sometimes unless she guards. It's a ridiculously powerful attack.

Run both setzers to elemental chain for Noctis and a buff buddy Olive.

/\/\/\ I wouldn't mind, but I also have a Marie. My Orlandeu has the same Dragon Killer setup.

Okay, so Cecil or someone with else with Focus is required. Marie could do it, but she needs to use Love You All straight away.

Minfilia, Marie, or Cloud of Darkness for damage mitigation.

Dual Orlandeu (Orlandii?) doesn't seem to work as well as it does in the raid.

No breakers, Shadow Bahamas is immune.

How do you... not die and kill him? I'm sure an easy way will be figured out sooner or later.

Would not using a light-elemental weapon on both my and my friend's Orlandeu make the Divine Ruination enough to knock Shadow Bahamas out of his Megaflarelust?

DaMangoSentinel
Sep 10, 2010

Do I have to do it like this?
Took out Shadow Bahamas. Used the Glitch, team was Cecil, tuned mostly for HP but around 230ish SPR. Noctis, Dual Wielding Kiyomori and Enhancer, again, over 200 SPR, Y'Shtola, all she did was spam double Curaja, CoD, spent her time either Omni-Veiling or using the AoE Esuna, and a Friend Noctis.

The key to the glitch is to never break anything on Bahamas. Ever. If you do, he will Megaflare. Stay calm, keep defenses up with Focus and Omni-Veil, Sacred Guard when you can, and occasionally use Cover with Noctis to help with HP and MP, and spam Blindside. Took him out on my first try this way.

I just finished the Bahamut trial a second time. I didn't get the glitched run this time, he megaflared like normal, but it was still a pretty easy kill. Yshtola, with Sakura's defensive buffs, was able to eat the megaflare without guarding so she was able to heal through most of it just fine.

Managed to pick up esper kill and no green magic this round. I took Luneth as a 6th this time just for some extra help in getting limit crystals and esper orbs.

Ding ding ding. Sakura is loving awesome for this trial.

I have two hp 15% materials, a pile of Muscle belts/Domination Rings, and tons of various hp 10% materia. Put HPs in every loving slot that you can, and SPR in the others. You don't need TMR level survival items, but you do need to able to kit out a full team in some kind of survival gear.

Refia: DC, lots of HP. 5180hps, 329 spr
Yshtola: Dragon shield, Shard of Genius, lots of hps. 5300hps, 346spr
Cloud of Darkness: 6000hps, 217spr
Sakura: Gigantaxe, Tabby suit. 5100hps, 132spr

Fiss's Fryevia as my only damage source. She used Frost Flower Blitz every turn. Her death save makes her low maintenance beyond an occasional revive.

First turn has Sakura cast Defensive Barrier, everyone else defends. Second turn Refia full life revives Sakura, Omniveil from CoD, plus lots of healing. CoD can cast Comeback to clear poison, and feel free to refresh Defensive barrier a turn early from Sakura if she might die. But most of the turns were just casting 3-4 Curaja while FFBing with Fry.
