Talk:Tomb of the Silversmith

Even easier than the last raid due to "Beast" typing, with the same low health and break vulnerability. I recommend a team of 1) Pirate Jake or Lara Croft (with "Pilfer" or the like), 2) a buffer or breaker if needed, 3&4) chainers, and 5&6) units you'd like to level (with Anniversary Ring/Growth Egg if available, or Rikku's Pouch for break, or Pilfer). R1: Buff or break, use pilfers, and chain. There probably won't be a round 2, but if there is he leads with casting "Reflect" on himself then five attacks which can include normal ST physical attacks, "Venom Spit" (AoE, inflicts poison 100%?), Spitfire (AoE fire, lowers fire resist). Items that can help include the Beast Killer materia (from an Aurora Key, always available), Ifrit (with Beast Killer), Werebuster/Twin Whip/King of Beasts (Beast Killer mace/whip/axe - the first two are easily available, last costs 150 star quartz). Don't cast a powerful AoE spell on him on the second round and you shouldn't have any problems. I used the same team as last raid: 1) Lara Croft (for leveling, with Pilfer), 2) Pirate Jake (with pilfer), 3) Zargabaath, 4) Trance Terra, 5) Dark Veritas, 6) Orlandeau/Dark Veritas/Trance Terra friend unit.

This raid is not hard as long as you have a full 6 star team that chains decently and doesn't rely on spells. Easy 2 turn kill with Loren,Agrias,Blossom Sage Sakura,Tidus and Aranea, then take any decent chainer friend unit I used a friend's Onion Knight. Weapons used: Stoss Spear,Falchion,Omnirod,Excalibur,Genji Blade,Lightbringer,Ancient Overlord Armor used: Force Armor,Shielded Armor,Cat Costume,Demon Mail,Heavy Armor B Headgear used: Grand Helm,Raven Beret,Reindeer Headband,Green Beret,ZD Helmet Accessories used: Bellows Arm Guard x4,Anniversary Ring,Prodigy Goggles,Hero Ring x2,Wargod's band,Garnet Bracelet Materia used:Powerful x4,atk 10%,vengeful wrath,mechanical heart,spirit fighter x4 ,DoubleHand,Mag 20% x2,spirit magician,Dream Maiden's Oracle,Awesome Swordsman,Atk 20%,Loyal Warrior x2. Espers used: Siren,Golem,Diabolos,Shiva,Ifrit all at least lvl 30 Turn 1 Full Break + with Loren,Get Pumped from Tidus,Quick combo Quick Offensive and Quick light blade,Swooping Blow with Aranea then chain Divine Ruination with the friend unit. Easy 50% hp gone start of next turn,turn 2 quick combo 2 Quick Light Blade finally chain Quick Hit,Blade Prison,Divine Ruination,friend unit chain skill. And boom that's how I beat this raid consistently.--CodeNinja676 (talk) 22:33, 9 March 2018 (UTC)Codeninja676

For those of you who can't one-turn the boss like a lot of players can, you will be dealing with a LOT (and I mean a lot) of Posion, Fire and Physical damage, on top of the occasional Paralysis because SNAAAAAAAAAAAAKES are not fun. My usual strategy for running raid bosses that don't resist physical is a 3-person DR based chain (complete with Light weapons for that -extra- weakness damage) and a +2 Piledriver with Aileen (use Piledriver after the DV chain starts to hit for maximum results), while breaking the boss with either Full Break, Chaos Grenade or some other such Defense break if you are looking to just one-turn it.

Otherwise, this is a fairly easy to chain and kill raid boss, you MIGHT want higher stats (about 600+ to attack, with a 30-40% Defense break or so) because I have noticed if you don't land your chain correctly it's lible to survive on it's Defense stat alone.

But otherwise, it's not -too- difficult if you accidentally don't kill it in a single turn, it's attacks with around 150+ Defense don't do a ton of damage. —Kemix1006 (talk)

- Soleil - Schwert Dance +2

Xon - Waylay

Pirate Jake - Walk the Plank* (45% DEF break)

Knight Delita - Strategic Blade (50% Lightning Imperil)

Olive - True Shot +2

Friend - any decent DPS - cleanup if needed.


 * Can use Parrley for lightning imperil if you have a better breaker.

Steal, buff, break, imperil, boom!

KD can actually hit pretty hard, so cleanup is only really needed if Olive's RNG is low.

For those who can't do 1-rd or 2rd Knockouts on ELT (I'm like @ 600 ATK avg w/friend). PRO and lower levels are similar if you are not quite to grinding ELT or want shorter fights. Why grind it? Well ELT is around 2.5x as much reward as PRO, so when you have time it can be worth it. Even if you don't win, if you get around 50% you'll get as much reward as PRO (tho you will lose out on gold,, and rank xp).

TANKS: It's a bit risky, but you can sub another dps for a tank. You'll be greater risk due to paralyze, and everyone should be > 4k health, you'll need good heals and/or breaks. Toons with backup abilities for emergency rez/heal/paralyze remove is prudent.

REFLECT: Each turn, I'm not sure how many charges, but >1 spell. Doesn't seem to affect Espers, abilities or LBs (even if they are magic), or phys/magic hybrid attacks. You can dispel it off of him, but generally easier to just avoid spells.

BREAKS: 30%+ ATK/MAG and you'll only need 1.5-3k AoE heals per turn (esp with fire resist & AoE cure like esunaga)

RESISTS: Breaks make fire resist not necessary with solid heals (around 3-4k AoE/turn), but still nice to have.

CURES: Paralyze is again important to get off your tank (or other) if they are not immune. The poison isn't too bad, but can add up depending on your resist and of course your break/heal situation.

I have a few 100's and maybe 5 TMRs. Team is Snow (100 - what? I know, but he does counter spells), Eiko (96 - surprisingly fun and capable for heals/dispels/LB fill/Espers), Xon (100 - MOR GOLDS), Amelia (67 - breaks and such), Lara Croft (74 - it is her event right?) For friends I take Onion Knights, Nyx, Orlandeaus when I can for the extra breaks and random chaining.


 * I think that is good advice on the 50% of ELT. That was the rule of thumb I used to use... once I could get over 50% on ELT, it was time to graduate from PRO. Good on you for getting Eiko btw... I am guessing you don't have Bahamut, but if you can get her to summon your baddest Esper to cap a chain on around turn 3, you should be laughing :) -Shakers

Hi, Shakers here with something a bit different. Not about beating the thing, which is already pretty well covered, but with regards to the question "whether to bother building any of the craftables from this event", at the end of the event.

There are 3 guns here with different elements on them and Guns don't usually have that. So I would craft at least two of each, for potential elemental chaining scenarios... and of course as soon as you have crafted one, you may as well do 5 or 6 because it is still only one inventory slot. Just saying!

I also have a special mention to the Flamethrower gun, which can be very helpful for gearing certain units such as Medius for "Ifrit LB Farming" ... and if you don't know what that means, google it :)

And why even bother farming Medius' LB in the first place? Because of his inherent auto-limit, which is very cheaply upgraded to +2 LB orbs, meaning he doesn't need any rare precious TMR auto-limit gear to Ifrit farm. So... why not :)
