GL DFFOO : DtD 〜The Battles’ End〜 Eos III
Same fight as Vaan’s IW SHINRYU here so as always, I’m copying the vid description lol
So Ultima prohibits summoning since the beginning of the fight bc she IS the summon lol at least in FFXII and Duodecim but I digress.. next is, upon crossing 80%, 40% and 20% HP threshold, she will gain an aura indicating she’s about to cast Renew in two turns if left unchecked, which fully heals her HP so you’ll be back to square one pretty much. Dealing 10x weak brv dmg should do the trick, apparently. She will also inflict some status ailments at certain HP thresholds, so you better take notes lol or just bring Raijin LDCA if doing no boss turns, algs lol
So in short, the HP threshold milestones are :
90% : inflicts AoE Paralyze
80% : begins casting Renew AND inflicts AoE Atk Down, MBrv Down, and Poison debuffs
50% : inflicts AoE Atk Down, MBrv Down, and Poison debuffs again
40% : begins casting Renew
30% : inflicts AoE Paralyze
20% : begins casting Renew
Ultima’s Force Gauge effects are as follows :
30% : increases her 3 attack type resistances (melee, ranged, magic) so party enchant / imperil is the way to go.
40% : Aura MBrv & iBrv Down on players
60% : Aura Atk & Def Down + Brv Dmg Dealt Down on players
80% : Aura Spd & Turn Rate Down on players
And they stack lol
Her gauge fills faster during party turns, but dealing weakness Brv dmg should slow it down a tad bit.
Her Force Ability is Eschaton+, an AoE Brv + HP atk. If you get broken or had been in a broken state when this happens, it’ll follow up with Holyja++, AoE insta KO-ing the party.
Enemy Force Time will last for 5 turns, and during this time she will spam Holyja+, which is only an AoE Brv atk, but same rule applies with the break / broken state as Force Ability, so during this time, whatever you do, don’t. get. broken.
Cancel her FT with ST magic Brv FR ability, which is Vaan’s lol OR just use superchargers to charge faster and wipe her out before she does anything.
Trying out some different team than last time although it’s still all about annihilation lol
Iris to constantly break Ultima so she don’t get to act yo ! Iris also helps with gauge charging since we’re 2 FT-ing this lol
Enna Kros is the other God that Ultima can’t defy here it seems lol bc she’s out to send the Seraph into next Thursday with her turn deletion and all that. The big damage also helps whittle down her health as always.
Lastly Serah for the aura and big damage of her own, when she does finally act lol but yea she’s mostly for the aura so she can just stand there lookin’ pretty xD
That’s about it, hope it helps, and don’t forget to have fun ! :]
P.S. : music during victory fanfare is again taken from TGH’s brilliant remastering project of PMD:EoS soundtrack “In The Morning Sun”, it’s. SO. GOOD. Amirite ? Listen to the video here : • PMD2 - In The Morning Sun (REMASTERED, Pok...
