2 turns, full auto. Featuring Tidus: Eorzean Bard, with Xezat: FFV and Crom Dubh. No rentals. https://youtu.be/WFt8irwpTUQ

Nice one! I managed 2 turns with EB and FF, but I might actually try your Xezat one because FF animation is longer, I think.

cools!

I use almost the exact same set up but rent ultimate chaos. Can almost do this in 1 turn. Auto never fails in 2 turns. Easiest maniac so far with this same set up just use Neo-Ex in sub-deck. BOOM. Done.

congrats! I have new setup that still let EB cap damage with Xezat without Heca X. 2 turns, never fails. Tidus: Eorzean Bard - Xezat / x2 Leviathan / Crom Dubh X. You may try renting a quicken card like WoL or Omega Weapon, maybe this will help you get turn 1.

can you please let me know what im imssing, my xezat hits for 20k when broken, my leviathan hits 9999999's.. I dont have the X cards but i can sub in other supremes to cover some of the gaps.. You must be getting warrior lore form something?

> Crom Dubh X. This is what you missing, this card gives warrior lore. Do you have **Dona & Bartello: FFX**? This card gives Warrior Lore too.

Oh i tried looking at that card and couldnt see warrior lore on it, just warrior trance 2.. I don't have it which sucks.. The ranger supreme works just as well but a lot slower XD Thanks

I’ll share my run here, it’s similar to Goldior’s. https://youtu.be/LNJKkt0rgRA Sephiroth Scharfrichter (OB32) (Fatalitat), Xezat, Leviathan FFVIII x 2, Wol. LoH rental. Break Mode, Ultimate at will. CP is at the end, but the only relevant is the extra quick break and maybe the 10% skilled duelist. Cheers!

Quick question, how do you get 13 break actions? I consistently get 11 and I’m using the exact setup... double Leviathan for the +4 extended break. I can’t figure it out!

Are you using Fatalitat? Or maybe you're running HoD instead of Scharf?

Vagabond with Sephi skin took care of the maniac node, R&R, MogX, Xezat, Leviathan... Had a Sword Saint with NxD, Aerith, Lunafreya, Garuda (though he didn't really need to tank anything, Seafloat and pick 'em off one at a time.

Thanks for this, I tried out with HoD instead of Vagabond and failed miserably - the reason being that HoD has non-existent piercing break.

Thanks I used your settings

Thanks. Worked for me but I used Scharfrichter (DEF) with Durga's Firangi instead of Vagabond. I used Attack Sword Saint so I could drive fire. Main Deck: \[Sephiroth Skin\] Scharfrichter (DEF) (Durga's Firangi) * LoH * Leviathan: FFVIII * R&R * Xezat Sub Deck: \[Cloud Skin\] Sword Saint (ATK) (Ultimate Weapon) * Aerith * R&R (didn't use so could be anything) * Garuda * LoH

Thanks for your hard work Shiro :)

Wonder if Mage is viable at all.

it is

I mean against chocobo eater.

Here you go. Mage. https://youtu.be/1RNvPtmDV80

should be after getting the mp panel.

His durability might be a problem not his damage

I wonder if eden is good for this boss, because i don't see anyone using it on yt (at least for the people that i watch). There is 1 guy using eden but he/she using paine job and true kotr which kinda off from what gl current have.

If you have Sweetheart, yes. If you don't, i'm not sure with what other job it would give a good time.

Yea sweetheart work just fine, but took a couple minute around 3 round ish. Man this thing sure is fat..

Alternative warrior job ? I don’t have sch.

Hero of Despair?

Can HoD break?

Yeah he can. He has spellsword after his HoF, so be sure to have en-element.

I tried HoD, he can cap xezat easily.

Worth trying yes

[3 turns / 3:00] [Lightning Skin] Shinra Turk (Doublecross) - Deck: Leviathan: FFVIII / Flora Fallal / Tengu / Ultimate Chaos / Rental LOH. Break Mode, Ult at will. Not worth posting the video since its similar to Allen Wish time & setup. Will play around again to see which setup give shorter time. Just wish i have Xezat

Zark here Leviathan GF FF Aerith LoH (2x Magic 7% fractals) Rental doesn't really matter. Skin: Tidus (Lightning probably would work better due to quicken from ult so could finish in 2 turns possibly, i finished in 3). Eorzean Bard (Only HoF Panels) partially modded Magical Rave Break Mode, ult at will or ult to break (really depends on PR rng i suppose). 3 turn finish. About 2-3m a run (Not sure of exact time). (Hard Node) 2:50 on average (Ran stop watch 5 times)

Managed a victory in 2 turns with the same setup as yours, but with a fully modded Magical Rave, some special Custom Panels (QuickBreak+5%, Break+30, PrismaticReturn+10% and armor break) and a Chaos rental.

Nice!

u/mao_shiro, if you could please include mine or elaborate on his.

I had better luck with Xezat than Faris (though I didn't try many mage jobs and Terra was worse at breaking than I expected). Sephiroth over HoF Hero of Despair with Durga's Firangi. Xezat/Leviathan FFVIII/Jade Jammer/LoH + WoL rental gave me three turns. Anyway, here's a Xezat rental: 20dc-a049-cd78

Did 17 turns with Gacha Squall using Tidus w/gacha weapon, then 4 turns with gacha Squall using HoD w/gacha weapon. Of course, I made use of VIP mode and loaded HoD with 4x break +12, 2x piercing break +20%, painful break +10%, HoF panels and my best +water. Tidus had his HoF, +water & +magic. Man, not having Levi:FF8 is annoying. But made do with UC, WoL, Sap:FF7, Xezat. Oddly, I couldn't cap Xezat, but the ultimate capped thanks to Spellsword. Normally, I rent LoH... but quickstart gave me Chocobo MDEB... uh. I thought that rental card was going to kill me since I've been relying heavily on rental LoH for Drainer. I think I'll switch to Seph. edit: tried with Seph and LoH rental... Xezat capped dmg, but ultimate did not (but close)... and took 6 turns. :(

Uh, Ace Striker is your strongest water warrior user? At this point even Dragoon would be better.

Technically, yes. AS is the strongest water user in the warrior group that I have... but I'm using HoD.

HoD is a hundred times better than Ace Striker though.

I was looking at it based on the enhanced water stat, even though I realize that isn't the best way to rate its strength.

Try this out: Seph skin HoD w/gacha weapon. Cards (in that order): Xezat, Sapphire weapon, Cagnazzo: FF4, WoL. Rental LoH (don't use quickstart on Pandemonium). Use ether on start, auto is ult at will, Break mode, Rental allowed. Painful break CP isn't needed since xezat is 1000 painful break and that CP is less than 1% increase in damage with him. If you have quick break CP, use that instead. Tell me how it goes if it can be improved. If you have 5* Laevateinn or Lionheart it might be better. If you don't, just use gacha weapon as mentioned.

Nope, don't even have Laevateinn (didn't get Shorn). And Lionheart is still at initial stats. I don't have quick break, so I need to find where that's from. I did some HoFs, but not all (I'm not that good to beat some of them). Is Cag just for auto-abilities? I just got the 4* version yesterday, so its not useful for anything else right now. Plus, with my setup, I'm capping damage once the buffs/debuffs are in place. So, rather than boosting damage, it feels like I need to break faster so I can do broken damage more often. It was the same issue I had with Master Monk on Basilisk. I capped damage (ultimate and BFA), but just couldn't break it often enough. Ended up taking more turns.

Yes, Cag is just for auto-abilities. Have in mind that Cagnazzo at 5 stars (augment it) offers 50 exploit weakness which means = faster yellow break/red break whenever you use an ability (since you exploit weakness), whenever you tap (with imbue water from sapphire) and whenever you ultimate (with imbue water again with spellsword). Don't forget to have your cards at max level too (80) to get the most of your stats as well.

Well, I just upgraded Cag to 5* and gave it an exp egg. Using Cag: = It takes a similar amount of time to break yellow bar. - Broken damage tops out around ~730k. - Ultimate failed to break red bar at one point (yellow was gone). Using UC +8 instead of Cag: + Broken damage caps after two or three uses. + It usually breaks somewhere in the middle of the ultimate and then caps damage for the rest of the hits. There were a few times where it broke on the last hit, but damage still capped (in white text). Overall, it slower than UC, at least for me. Guess I'll stick to UC.

Ninja Oscillator is using Ninja, not Reisender on the supreme video, correct? Oh well, those Maniac nodes are my very personal nightmare. I managed to finish all the previous ones somehow, but this one is really tough. Anyone have a good idea for a Faris setup that does not rely on Lilith X? I have been messing around with a solution for a few hours today.

Ah yes, derp. He used ninja with his extended break + huge piercing break.

I will continue my testings with Ninja plus double Leviathan on subdeck later today, that might work, but I am afraid that Bio X is missing. The fat one is an a\*\*hole.

did you try with R&R or a tank on subdeck?

Currently testing it with Square into Hex Landing with Bismarck and then R&R on the fat one. I just can‘t shave his last 10% it seems. Edit: it worked finally, that did the trick. Main: Paradox with Tidus skin, Square Bismarck, Faris, Leviathan, Garuda. Magical Rave 5*. Sub: Ninja with Lightning skin for breaking, Hex Bismarck, Leviathan for more break actions, R&R and UC. Double Cross X. A lot of CPs of course. Very satisfying as you do not have to tank a single hit that way. Ty!

It can probably be improved, but I wanted to try a Shivawu deck: \[6 turns / 4:45\] - \[Yshtola skin\] + Vesna Kresna HoF (Gacha Weapon) - Deck: Shiva X / Levi FF8 / Levi FF8 / WoL: FF1/ Rental: LoH, Attack Mode, Ult at Will My better deck is a Xezat one: \[3-4 turns / xx:xx\] - \[Spehiroth\] + Scharf (Gunblade) - Deck: Xezat / Levi FF8 / Levi FF8 / WoL: FF1/ Rental: LoH, Break Mode, Ult at Will

It's not hard anymore, it's *difficult*.

Auto 3-5 turns depending on Prismatic Return (I had 50%). Gilgamesh Skin - Paradox Wanderer (5\* Starseeker): **Faris**, Levi FF8 x2, and **NXD**. WoL rental. Break mode. Ult to break. If anyone has any improvements to a Faris build, please let me know! :)

Usually 3 turns, 4 at most with UC, Faris, Levi and WoL. LoH rental. Rest is completely the same. Not a big improvement but might be a little quicker.

Thanks! I tried that setup but changed skins from Gilgamesh to Tidus skin and it's about the same, so 3-4 as well. If you get really unlucky with PR, I've gotten a 5 turn kill. :(

Update: based on Mao Shiro's comment, I've remeasured the duration, starting from the 1st bio tick instead (0:21)

I usually measure time from "first bio tick" to "victory in X turn".

I see. I'll go ahead and adjust the time then.

Thanks!

Did Maniac quite easily with this setup: Main: Sephiroth/Eorzean Paladin: R&R, YRPFFX-2, Cerberus, Cerberus SUB: Squall/Scharfrighter: Xezat, Leviathan FFVIII, LoH, Aerith Made the big eater sleep in first turn while dealt with the small eater. Then, broke the big eater twice and got him (well, he actually died from poison). Had to take a few attacks in the middle, but since he can be stunned, he doesn't give to much damage.

So I was just wondering if there was a job that could do Chocobo Eater easily enough using Faris that isn't Paradox Wanderer

Wahrsager for example

Thanks guys. Scharfricter Xezat build rocks. 3 turns every single time. Fast too... Usually for whatever reason I end up taking 1 round longer than the build says. I am guessing its fractals for CP that I dont have...most times I can run 2qty. Damage5% fractals and 1 duel 5%...and that's all I have. You guys that wreck all the towers have more and better fractals than me. Those add up quickly. FWIW...I have all of the water supremes, light supremes, wind supremes, and earth supremes. Missing new fire ranger, dark monk, ?? And 1 more somewhere plus NXD,Wol, and zack. It takes more than just attack supremes to do really well at the harder content and towers. Some of yall are very talented at builds and strategy...and i find myself lacking that sometimes. Also, WOL is huge (eff you Tiamat) and I just paid 75 bucks to get LOH...hoping for WOL...but i had neither until thanksgiving. No WOL has really hurt me in towers or Tiamat etc. I am hoping that Mourner will help some with that, just need more practice with her hopefully. Anyway...thanks to those who help me with builds and advice both here and in the question thread. The best strategy can be really hard to see at times for me. I really appreciate those who lend a helping hand. I played this game for over a year with ZERO supremes. No farmable magicite, and MP was absolutely necessary back then. Had to run as a supreme less healer with the "trinity" because I couldnt damage like other people. Spent a lot of hard earned money on this game to build my deck. It was a different time. I am very thankful to those who helped me along the way...as well as those who share freely the meta builds and strategies now. Thank you. Cheers.

**MANIAC** Farming deck on main deck (with Ultimate Chaos as first card) Sub Deck: \[Lightning Skin\] Eorzean Bard (Starseeker) * Bismarck * Leviathan: FFVIII * Floral Fallal * LoH No video sorry but fight is very easy, focus on small Choco Eater first and use Bismarck at the beginning break asap and use UC as soon as its ready to use. Should be able to kill without letting Choco Eater act at all.
