Cid should be using a greatsword and a katana. Giving him two greatswords is an extremely bad idea because you're giving up a lot of free +atk for no reason.

OK has a higher multiplier and dramatically better equip options (and abilities) for elemental versatility’s sake. Maybe in a vacuuum there’s a two-Prompto-DH-chaining setup that does good lightning damage. But honestly getting 2 Prompto, 2 Cloud, 2 Olive and 4 Elfreeda is so deep in magical Christmas land I’m not even going to bother.

If you mean dice chaining, he has 0% atk boost without a gun and his base atk is pretty low for a physical attacker at 173. I doubt he’d get the numbers to really compare.

I have too many crysts and feel compelled to ability awaken a finisher. Olive, DKC, Cupid Arty, or Luneth? I have 4 DKC and 2 Olives so they're 7* capable. I have no Clouds or Efreetas so there's no TDH parts to go around. Orlandu is my go to physical elemental chainer (no OK) with TT and Barbie magic chaining.

Cao Ni Ma

Olive is your best bet for a finisher if you dont have absolutely any equip attack gear. She gets 250% of it just from her own TMR and DoubleHand. Having two of them means she's future proofed and I really want to see what Global Gumi will do to her since they seem to be on a roll designing and enhancing units recently.If you somehow can get friend orlandu's with thunder weapons then you can utilize her stronger imperils to ramp up your damage, but loving no one does that.

Mystea can take the megaflare he uses on his first turn so you don't have to worry about a one turn KO, although that's assuming Mystea actually eats the megaflare. The general idea is to start a chain and land a dual casted Alterna from RotL in it to oneshot Bahamut. Zyrus' LB is an alternative with his dragon magic killer passives and dracospikes. Just in case I put up a T.Terra with two Dracospikes and a RotL (but no Dragon Killer+, still gotta do Bahamut myself) that should hopefully do the trick. IGN Buttz, friend code: 479,088,281

You're full currently.

I removed some retired goons and a few pubs. I have a few spots open and threw up a carry Noctis. You can auto your way through or warp strike on repeat. He has two rings so he counters quite a bit and never really runs out of mana - takes about 8 or 9 turns depending on counters.

E: you can speed it up a couple turns if you cycle between warp strike / pbws instead of mashing repeat.

I put up a 100% Evade iNichol for the Aranea boss event. Just cast his Illusion - Redirect ability on himself and he will make the party completely immune to all physical attacks (100% chance vs. both ST and AoE). He also comes with Deprotect to assist with your damage, dispel the boss in case she buffs her DEF/SPR, or you can use him to help chain with Phantasmal Forces but don't expect him to carry you dps-wise. Just remember to recast his cover every 2 turns.

All my goon buddies are quite active (except CryHavoc but I'm not removing my sweet prince) so I only have 3 spots! Please kick me off your list once you're done with the event to allow others to add me. My ID is 209,464,963

Edit: He has no status immunities though, so if it turns out Aranea comes with status effects that break his evasion I'll put up a Noctis or Fohlen with the appropriate immunities instead

Edit 2: Spots filled, gonna report back when I have more room!

My friend unit is also Noctis who can solo the raid. He should also be able to solo the upcoming raid trial, although I may swap him out for an evasion WoL if that's better for getting the missions done.

I've heard suggestions that in JP at the time of this raid they did not have as much evasion gear available, so they probably don't have 100% evasion units.

May not be popular, but if you're chaining with Orlandeau/DV, I like Luneth a lot. My setup saw all three of them with an excal and a moonblade each, so that both DV and O's imperils work, PLUS the bonus from element chains.

Luneth is nice in this type of setup because you can just mash O, DV, Luneth reasonably (but no need for TURBO) fast and you'll get big unbroken chains pretty regularly.

I did it without a Ring of the Lucii. Two Trance Terras, plus a third friend one, used Magical Awakening first round, Mystea ate the Megaflare, and then they all dualcast Chaos Wave. It was definitely overkill and not one of them had dragonkilling stuff on.

Edit: 10+ sucked, how the hell are one of you getting multiple 5* units in those?
