Most of yesterday’s stamina was dedicated to Record Materia farming in the FFII dungeons with not much luck. Still need to do Rubicante Ultimate. For his fight I am thinking mage meta with Vaan to Steal when he cloaks and hit him with Magic Breakdown. If I recall correctly Rubicante counters physical attacks so I will probably have to shelf the usual suspects.
Leviathan and Major Ice Orbs
I went through a big effort to scrounge for the last 4 Major Ice Orbs needed to hone Full Break to R2; The last boss completed being Leviathan. It’s not so much that Leviathan was that much of a pain in the ass as it was mostly mastering the trash while not burning through to many ability uses. I was ready to burn a Mithril if need be but alas, it was not needed.
I didn’t have enough room for Carbuncle, but Sentinals’ Grimoire allowed everyone to stay alive long enough for Lenna to cast reflect on everyone. A few S/Ls were needed to reflect Leviathan before he started buffing himself.
I did run out of most abilities and ended up scratching my way through the last quarter of Leviathan. Gilgamesh’s self sustaining tauntaliate, Cloud’s Blade Beam, and Rinoa’s Angel Wing Bolt were the real MVPs of the fight. Honed Full Break about 2 weeks ago. Haven’t really needed it since :/
Yunalesca and friends
What an odd set of encounters, almost all of which are trivialized by Advantaliate or otherwise. For a super easy Yunalesca U master, it really did work like a charm. No wall, no hasteaga, no healing needed.
Yeah, Yunalesca Ultimate was a bit of a joke, unfortunately. Exdeath Ultimate was kinda an F-You to the player. Rubicante Ultimate is haaaard, no joke. I have 2 Medicas (Vanille, Y’shtola), but that’s it. No Hastega and no Wall, so my strat was a little wonky to deal with it. I should finish my blog post on it…
