Eternal Crystal bosses

Ends 10/11/17

Note: I'm not including anything but stats and medal conditions for the d75 Crystal bosses, since they're so easy. Their move list is usually an abbreviated/simplified version of the 凶 fight, with the most powerful moves removed and usually no weak/v weak phase.

Boss: Shiva Nyx & Shiva Stiria

Medal Conditions (d75): Defeat Shiva without being KO'd.
Medal Conditions (d140): Reduce Shiva's attack.
Medal Conditions (d220): Reduce Shiva's attack.
Elemental Damage Taken (d75):

Status Vulnerabilities: None!
Break Effectiveness:

Moveset (Nyx):

• Wheel Rap (PHY: ST 344% physical)
• Wheel Toss (PHY: ST 275% ranged physical)
• Pirouette (PHY: 3T 159% physical, 2 hits)
• Tornado Rave (PHY: AOE 206% physical)
• Blizzara (BLK: AOE 294% magical ice)
• (Weak/V Weak) 凶 Tornado Rave (NAT: AOE 206% piercing^0.5 physical)

Moveset (Stiria):

• Doom (NAT: AOE 3000% chance to Doom [60 seconds])
• Curaga (WHT: ST recover HP; targets players)

Notes and Strategies: In Default phase (>70% HP) [凶 only], Nyx does nothing on her 1st turn, uses Wheel Rap on her 2nd turn, and does nothing on her 4th turn. In Weak phase (70%-40% HP) [凶 only], Nyx does nothing on her 3rd turn. In Very Weak phase (<40% HP), Nyx uses 凶 Tornado Rave on her 1st turn. Stiria uses Doom as an interrupt when the fight begins and [凶 only] uses Curaga on her 4th turn and every 4th turn thereafter.

Only Nyx can be targetted and only Nyx actually attacks. Aside from the occasional Blizzaga, this fight is all physical, so focus on that side of the mitigation equation. Shiva is easily the easiest of the Eternal Crystal bosses, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Boss: Barbariccia

Medal Conditions (d75): Defeat Barbariccia without being KO'd.
Medal Conditions (d140): Disrupt Barbariccia's spin with a jump attack.
Medal Conditions (d220): Disrupt Barbariccia's spin with a jump attack.

• Tornado (BLK: AOE 410% magical wind)
• Glare (NAT: ST 15% chance to Petrify)
• (Weak/V Weak only) Windstorm (NAT: AOE 164% piercing^0.5 ranged physical wind)

• Haste (WHT: Self Haste)
• Glare (NAT: ST 15% chance to Petrify)
• Tornado (BLK: AOE 410% magical wind)

Notes and Strategies: In Default phase (>70% HP), Barbariccia does nothing on her 1st turn [凶 only] and uses Glare every 4th turn. In Weak phase (70%-40% HP), Barbariccia uses Haste on her 1st turn and uses Glare every 4th turn. In Very Weak phase (<40% HP), Barbariccia uses Haste on her 1st turn if she is not Hasted already and Windstorm otherwise and uses Glare every 3rd turn. In Tornado phase, Barbariccia uses Haste on her 1st turn if she is not Hasted already and Chain Aeroga otherwise.

Barby's medal condition is as annoying as ever, and she uses her Petrifying attack pretty frequently in this version. The hit chance is low, but she uses it enough that she's reasonably likely to hit at least once.

Boss: Edea

Medal Conditions (d75): Defeat Edea without being KO'd.
Medal Conditions (d140): Remove Edea's Shell.
Medal Conditions (d220): Remove Edea's Shell.

• (V Weak d220 only) Graviga (BLK: 303% chance to 50% maximum HP gravity)
• (V Weak d220 only) 凶 Astral Punch (NAT: AOE 350% physical)

Notes [凶]: In Default phase (>70% HP), Edea does nothing on her 1st turn, uses Protect on her 2nd turn, and Shell on her 3rd turn. In Weak phase (70%-40% HP), Edea uses Dispel as an interrupt as soon as she enters the phase, Protect on her 2nd turn, and Shell on her 3rd turn. In Very Weak phase (40<% HP), Edea uses Dispel as an interrupt as soon as she enters the phase, Protect on her 2nd turn, and Shell on her 3rd turn.

Notes [滅 ]: In Default phase (>70% HP), Edea uses Sleepga on her 1st turn, Protect on her 2nd turn, Shell on her 3rd turn, and Graviga on her 6th turn and every 5th turn thereafter. In Weak phase (70%-40% HP), Edea uses Dispel as an interrupt as soon as she enters the phase, Sleepga on her 2nd turn, Protect on her 3rd turn, and Shell on her 4th turn. In Very Weak phase (<40% HP), Edea uses Dispel as an interrupt as soon as she enters the phase, Sleepga on her 2nd turn, Graviga on her 3rd turn and every 6th turn thereafter, Protect on her 4th turn, and Shell on her 5th turn.

Edea is very, very annoying with the AOE Dispels and AOE Sleeps, especially on 滅 /220 difficulty. I strongly recommend a back row team just to avoid the Sleepgas.

Medal Conditions (d140): Reduce Yunalesca's magic.

Notes and Strategies:

Good ol' 640 Speed Instant Cast Holy Yunalesca. Leave your Astras and Affliction Breaks at home unless you want to deal with Megadeath.

Notes and Strategies:

[氾濫] CoD Dispels the party at 80% and 40%. Once she hits Very Weak phase you have 4 turns to deal 30k/?/130k (d75/160/氾濫) damage. If you fail, she uses 氾濫 Particle Beam on you and you die.
