For those saving all their tickets and hard earned Lapis for Orlandu. You've probably prepared for months for the Thunder God to be released.

How have you prepared for his imminent release? We all know Orlandu becomes truly OP when equipped with a combination of Dual Wield and Excalibur (along with other TMRs).

However, do remember that although Orlandu is formidable alone, his true prowess come from his chaining ability. For those of you that manage to pull two Orlandu's - ~gtfo~ good for you. But for those of us that aren't as ~rich~ lucky, we've got some work to do.

Right now, the strongest character (other than Orlandu himself) that can potentially chain well with Orlandu is Chizuru. But she's innately unable to equip any Light element weapons - this is where Garland's TMR comes in. Equip L Sword will allow Chizuru to equip Excalibur (or Durandal) in order to execute some sweet sweet elemental chains with Orlandu, with Noctis/Firion acting as your chain finisher.

TL;DR - Don't forget to grind out Garland's TMR if you're looking to maximize Orlandu's chaining potential. Seems like common sense, but I'm sure some people including myself have overlooked this.

You got two weeks - a month before Orlandu is released.
