Yo.

This is a how2 Get carried for the Almost Mighty (Best ghost shell btw) Auhlsotho. Naturally there will be a few assumptions regarding this, and all of them are Sylvie.

1. You have Sylvie
2. You have her partly enhanced
3. You have her TM (or two)

See I told you.

Anyway, since gumi were generous enough to hand out a free 7* Elena, these two units are your bread and butter for these clears.

For you see, you can pick a friend unit, who can carry your ass to level 9 and beyond. This friend unit should either be Starlight Elena, or Noppy. We'll get to that.

Observe, fools. In just 4 magic turns, a simple team consisting of the free elena, fucking Libertus of all people, Story Fina (Or some say Fina) and the legendary Sylvie. (assume the starlight elena is in the friend slot pls ty)

Their stats will shock you , it's actually outrageous how much you can get away with..

In short: 7* Elena, obtained for free. Basically, her own TM and STM equipped (because free). The gear I used was the Twilight Set but you can probably get better much easier now, trials and shit fam.

Sylvie: Basically just requires her own tm to be equipped. This can be an issue, however, in obtaining her. I'm nearly sure you can get enough as a newbie by using the free nv unit to dumpster some early scorns for the UoC tickets.

She is replaceable, however you need someone that is able to imbue and imperil Earth at the same time, ideally to multiple units in a single turn. If this is the case, please see the Fina section below

Libertus: Literally if he can do it, any tank can. You can pick Awakened WoL from the beginner whatever, and he helps cover the Fina role if you have him.

Fina: She's literally only here just in case you cant finish the fight, or choose to kill the clerics first. In which case you need some healing.

If you're new, you might not have access to a lot of ribbon effects, i.e accessories or materia which increase resistance to status effects like Sleep and etc, which this boss likes to use.

Sylvie is able to buff that resistance and give the aoe earth imbue AND atk/mag breaks in the same turn, which is what makes her great for this. AWOL also has Atk/Mag breaks, but they are lower than sylvies, though if you have Awol instead of libertus, they're likely enough.

Breaks, Imbues, Imperils, Heals, Ailment Res. That's the name of the game

Now, on to the actual fight.

Almost Mighty Auhlsotho! Resistances

If Acolytes Alive:

200% Def Buff (undispellable)

Basic bitch attacks and Ailment Infliction

If acolytes Dead

No Defense Buffs

50% Fixed damage to all enemies (that's you) and Standard attacks with ailment shit.

Below like 40 or 50 or something it begins using magic attacks, so get some beef on you. (that's HP)

Sylvie, or your imbuer (like Daughter of Destiny Vanille, or Behemy even), should begin the fight by.

Imbuing Earth

and doing the imperily doo if they have it. Sylvie or another unit (like Folka or something) can buff Ailment res to the party. Sylvie has Spring Cleaning, Daughter of Destiny Vanille has Veil, there's a bunch of units who have this. Refer to this chart pls

If this same unit can break ATK/MAG, they should do that.

FOR SYLVIE it should look something like this

Triple the Fun! > Withering Arms 2 > Gravel Egg > Spring Cleaning

TANK

Just cover.

ELENA STARLIGHT ELENA

ELENA: Speed of Light > Blade of Crystalx3

STARLIGHT ELENA: Crystal Trinity > Star Supernova > Gemini Bladex2

From turn 2 onwards, Elena will still cast the same, and Starlight Elena will swap to:

Crystal Trinity > Gemini Bladex3

FINA

Just heal if shit hits the fan. That's really all she's there to do. Very interchangeable. Awakened Warrior of Light for example can heal and dole out barriers. You can instead bring two units who imbue and imperil for example. Or someone who reduces atk/mag and can be equipped with Shiva for Imperil.

TL:DR

FRIEND STARLENA WITH YOUR OWN ELENA AND SYLVIE, PHYS TANK BOIII

IMBUE EARTH, IMPERIL, AILMENT RES

TRIPLE BS ON BOTH ELENA AND ELENA

TRIPLE SR ON ELENA AND NOPPY BARRAGE IF TAKING NOPPY

KILL ACOLYTES FOR FASTER BUT MORE DANGEROUSER CLEAR

LEAVE ALIVE FOR SAFER BUT SLOWER CLEAR.

Thanks for reading, I know it's not the cleanest I could make it but that's for nerds who take time.

Gotta go fast.

Edit: Quick tip, in general just go to friend threads or the friend channel on discord and just poke around for starlena friends, they are plentiful and more than likely willing to help out. Probably.
