凶 Temple Knight's Raid

Boss: 凶 Isilud & Knights & Summoner & Archer

Medal Conditions: Reduce Isilud's attack.
Status Vulnerabilities (All): Slow, Stun
Break Effectiveness (All):

Moveset (Isilud):

• (Default only) Attack (PHY: ST 110% physical)
• (Default only) Attack (PHY: AOE 159% physical)
• Ultimate Armor Break (NAT: ST 188% physical, reduce defense by 30% for 20 seconds)
• Jump (NAT: ST 344% ranged physical)
• Counter Attack (15|20|25% response to any attack; PHY: ST 266% physical)
• (Weak/V Weak only) Attack (PHY: AOE 206% physical)
• (Very Weak only) Ultimate Jump (NAT: ST HP=1)
• (Very Weak only) Attack (PHY: ST 100% physical, targets highest % HP)

Moveset (Knights):

• Attack (PHY: ST 110% physical)
• Ultimate Armor Break (NAT: ST 188% physical, reduce defense by 30% for 20 seconds)
• Aurablast (NAT: ST 188% ranged physical)
• Throw Stone (PHY: ST 188% ranged physical)
• Ultimate Aurablast (NAT: AOE 159% ranged physical)
• Counter Attack (15% response to physical attacks; PHY: ST 110% physical)

Notes and Strategies: Isilud spawns with one Knight and one Summoner. If you defeat the Knight, a second Knight spawns; if you defeat the Summoner, an Archer spawns. You only need to defeat Isilud to win.

In Default phase (>70% HP), Isilud always follows Jump with his AOE Attack. In Very Weak phase (<40% HP), Isilud follows a very precise attack pattern for the first 32 turns, as follows: Ultimate Jump, weak Attack, AOE Attack, AOE Attack, repeat. On turns 8 and 24, Isilud will use a random attack instead of being forced to use his AOE Attack. The Knights always follow Ultimate Aurablast with Throw Stone. The Summoner uses Ifrit on its 5th turn and every 9th turn thereafter, Ramuh on its 8th turn and every 9th turn thereafter, and Shiva on its 11th turn and every 9th turn thereafter.

This fight is almost entirely physical (and is entirely physical if you kill the Summoner), so you can probably get away without bringing Shellga. Isilud is the only enemy which must be defeated in order to win, so if you're not worried about the Summoner's anemic magical attacks, focus all your firepower on him.

Notes and Strategies: Wiegraf spawns with one Knight and one Monk. If you defeat the Knight, a Chocobo will spawn. If you defeat the Monk, a second Monk will spawn. Wiegraf always uses Judgment Blade every 5th turn after last using it across all phases.

Pure physical, so leave Shellga and Magic Breakdown at home. You only need to defeat Wiegraf, and the other enemies aren't that annoying or dangerous, so just focus on him. You may wish to wear Stop resistance or bring Affliction Break or an Astra source to make Wiegraf's Judgment Blades and Ultimate Judgment Blades a little less annoying.

• Attack (PHY: ST 344% physical)
• Counter Attack (15|20|30% response to physical attacks; PHY: ST 266% physical)
• (Weak/V Weak) Ultimate Weapon Break (NAT: AOE 240% physical, reduce attack by 30% for 20 seconds)

Moveset (Black Mages):

• Thundaga (NAT: ST 170% magical thunder)
• Thundaga (NAT: ST 490% magical thunder)

• Throw Stone (NAT: AOE 240% piercing^0.5 ranged physical)
• Attack (PHY: ST 344% physical)
• Counter Attack (15% response to physical attacks; PHY: ST 266% physical)

Moveset (Time Mage):

• Haste (WHT: AOE Haste)
• Slow (WHT: ST 63% chance to Slow)
• Stop (BLK: AOE 36% chance to Stop)

Notes and Strategies: Milleuda spawns with one Knight and one Black Mage. If you defeat the Knight, a Time Mage spawns; if you defeat the Black Mage, a second Black Mage spawns. You only need to defeat Milleuda to win.

In Default phase (>70% HP), Milleuda uses her weak Attack on her 1st and 2nd turns. In Weak phase (70%-40% HP) and again in Very Weak phase (<40% HP), Milleuda uses her AOE Ultimate Weapon Break on her 1st turn and every 5th turn thereafter. The initial Black Mage uses its weak Thundaga on its 1st and 2nd turns; both Black Mages use AOE Blizzaga on their 8th turn and every 8th turn thereafter. The Knight uses Attack on its 1st turn, Armor Break on its 2nd turn and every 7th turn thereafter, and uses Throw Stone every 6th turn after last using it. The Time Mage uses Haste on its 1st turn and every 7th turn thereafter.

The Black Mages here can actually put out a lot of damage if you neglect your magical defenses, so try to fit in at least a Shellga. Milleuda can strip your Shout/Ramza BSB2/Onion Ninja USB Attack buff from you with Ultimate Weapon Break, so it may be a better idea to rely on either a mage team or a hybrid attack buff like Onion BSB. Watch out for Milleuda's Counter Attack before you get Protectga/Wall up, it's extremely damaging with no mitigation.
