Esther vs. Emperor, Kefka, Iron Giant, Chaos, Ardyn and Stag
Post Body

Ever since Emperor SBB was released, there have been a lack of videos featuring 2x Esther as the only damage dealers in trials (or featuring her at all). I mean why would players use the best (bunny) girl when there's many DPS units that deal more damage...

But I'm still loyal to the bunny girl! I had a look at the "Recent Trials (List • Archive)" page on the wiki to check the fights in which no one used her (or only used her with a finisher to cap the chains)... and I "fixed" it! Now all of them have at least my video. And here they are!

Scorn of the Legendary Stag (All missions in 3 turns)

Let's start with the only "old" video (I recorded it back in October). The idea was to use 2 units (Mercenary Ramza and 6★ WoL Lenna) to entrust the Esthers so that they would be able to use their LB two turns in a row. I took advantage of a friend Esther equipped with Bahamut Tear, a rarity!

Team: Maritime Strategist Nichol, Mercenary Ramza, Warrior of Light Lenna (6★), Yuraisha, 2x Esther

From now on, every team features a unit that brought new life to Esther (at least for me): Regis. His mitigations, stats buffs, barriers and especially killer buffs make Esther able to deal more damage and withstand more attacks. Oh that and the fact that Cross Aigaion Arm exists with its juicy 75% man-eater.

Emperor SBB (All missions in 14 turns)

No need to fear Emperor when you have Esther! Just kidding, if you take too long you'll be in hot water. The idea is to reach the thresholds fast enough so that there isn't much time for many Starfalls (that can't be provoked) to hit Esther. Myra (6★) uses her LB to get rid of the imperils (I'm noticing a pattern here... healers are great even at 6 stars).

Team: White Knight Noel, Kryla, Regis, Myra (6★), 2x Esther

Kefka SBB (All missions in 11 turns)

Dancing Mad can be really dangerous but with all the buffs provided by Regis (and Folka) I could survive. It's best to attack Kefka with other units first (I used Kryla and Regis for that), to prevent the counters to hit Esther. Oh and don't forget to re-buff when he uses Vengeance.

Team: White Knight Noel, Kryla, Regis, Folka, 2x Esther

Scorn of the Armor of Oppression (All missions in 11 turns)

Gosh this fight can be really annoying with all the dispels and the self-buffs Iron Giant uses. I used Adventurer Locke here instead of Kryla because he has on-demand AoE mirage (and also AoE mag mitigation!). Regis and Folka do the usual here, but it's very important to pay attention to Iron Giant's dispels and self buffs (you have to dispel his ATK/MAG buff). I didn't bother with his DEF/ATK reductions.

Team: Sieghard, Adventurer Locke, Regis, Folka, 2x Esther

Ardyn SBB (All missions in 15 turns)

Considering Ardyn has many attacks that ignore provoke but are evadable, I went with a ridiculous build here that provided 100% evade to everyone, except friend Esther. That's absolutely not needed though (you can see friend Esther didn't die not even once). 100% evade tank helps a lot though!

Team: White Knight Noel, Kryla, Regis, Myra (6★), 2x Esther

Chaos SBB (All mission in 9 turns)

Chaos isn't a difficult fight, just bring a mag tank and don't forget to dispel when he uses Eternal Recurrence, that increases DEF/SPR by 40% and adds a 20,000,000 HP barrier. Considering both Awakened Rain and Regis can heal, you can use a finisher (like CP Noctis) instead of a healer. I did that in my first clear, featuring Elena (4 turns).

Team: Kryla, Awakened Rain, Regis, Warrior of Light Lenna (6★), 2x Esther

Huge thanks to /u/Sky_runne, who provided the Esther I used in every fight (except Stag)!

Bonus: Demon Matsuri feat. 2x Esther with water weapons (Suiryuken). Only a picture though because I didn't record it at the time.

Another bonus: Scorn of the Machina of Destruction, by FfbeMYcommunity. I saw his/her video on the wiki and decided not to bother with this one (not that I have a friend Esther equipped with Alexander...).

It's official bois, Esther is more than enough for all current trials (that don't shaft physical damage)! Long live the best girll!!1!! I'm sure she'll also destroy Demon Wall next month! (And no, I'm not using her against the bomb family because of the imbues. I'll use Mordegon instead.) Oh, and sorry about the wall of text.
