Talk:Stopping Marchenko

Don't use Thunder attack on the boss, it will trigger the Shield. The Shield can clear all debuffs so please try to avoid Thunder attack. If he uses Shield, just defense 1 turn, on next turn the Shield will disappear.

Very easy fight. Team Used: Fryevia Warrior of Light Sephiroth Maritime Strategist Nichol Ayaka Friend Fryevia

Let me first say that WoL had 9.2k HP and was geared to resist fire and lightning. That said, Marchenko barely did any damage to *any* of my units. For damage I continued using the Frost Flower/Heavens Wept Fry/Sep chain throughout the fight. It took a little more than 1 combo to get him to the 49% break point. After that it took 1 full combo and then during the next combo one of the Fry's LBed for the mission. WoL broke arms at the beginning but then got confused and wasn't used throughout the rest of the fight. cgNichol first buffed atk/spr, then mag/def, then damage reduction, and then atk/mag for the final push. Ayaka did what little healing was necessary while also spreading reraises around to the key players. Overall the fight was very simple and Marchenko never put his shield up (and I didn't use any lightning attacks). If he does put the shield up just buff and defend on that turn.

Easy Setup for this fight is: 100% Evasion Tank (I used Vagrant Knight Rain) Magical Tank (I used Awakened Rain) with 100% Thunder and Fire Resist Chainer #1 (I used Fryevia) Chainer #2 (I used Raegen) MP Battery/Buffer (I used Maritime Strategist Nichol) Friend: Squall for LB Kill and Finishing the chain I have chosen this setup because of his Titan Shield being activated by Thunder DMG, so this way there was still DMG going on but not Thunder. Got all Objectives without any issues. -- Kuroganashi (Kuro)

All you really need is any Aoe magic tank, ST provoke, MP Battery, and chainers and finisher. He does stop damage at 49% but doesn't use titan shield at all if you do no lightning damage. Easy fight.

Stopping Marchenko by Charla06

Enhanced TT Ayaka Wilhelm 7* Tidus Rikku with her pouch :-) Friend: Enhanced TT

Wilhelm Provokes and coverage Ayaka on heals/buffs Tidus MP batt/buff/entrust Rikku - Chaos Grenade/reraise/hyper null all both TT's chaining

So I was trying to hit all tasks on one battle, i got him figured out on my 3rd try bu too bad i missed the kill with LB goal.

Just make sure to throw him chaos grenade on turn 1 and you should get minimal dmg. i didn't use any lightning at all, even weapons. Wilhelm just does his usual tanking thing, Ayaka to keep them hp and status up, tidus for mp batt every after 3 turns?, entrust and some buffs, the 2 enhanced TT's charges on t1 and just spams chaos waves like there's no tomorrow... should be done after less than 10 turns.

-Tanking with veritas of earth -Raegen decrease stats of marchenko and increase elemental resistances -Tilith healing the team and mp regen -Veritas of light chaining with lightning -Zargabaath increase team stats and protecting from the alterations (light combination with VoL) - Lightning stongest attacks (light element too)

Team composition can change but main strategy is one tank taking most of damages and someone nullifying the alterations (better preventing them than healing them👍)

________________________

I didnt have lot toon to pic from so I used what I had WoL - hero shield and fire/lighting rings and  thunderous avoidance and seed of hope Sakura Sage Blossom Ayaka Carbuncle esper Frevia (had 830+684 att 330+190mag) Sephiroth ( had 1100+970 attack) + diablous esper

This was long drawn out fight and RNG just killed me cause marchenko just to much damage at wrong time.

1st round WoL - Arms Breaker atk/mag ( can use full break for atk/def/spr/mag but that 30% vs 45% ) SSB - Thunders protection - 3 rounds of protections Ayaka - barfira ( carbuncle) - 3 rounds of protection Fryevia - Frost Flower Blitz Sephiroth - Reunion for Dark element for 10rounds Sephiroth - Reunion

2nd round WoL - Armor Breaker SSB - Status refresh ( 5 rounds of confuse and other status effects) Ayaka Dual White - Curaja + re rasise ( on who ever was taking most damage first) Fryevia - Frost Flower Blitz Sephiroth - The Heavens Wept Sephiroth - The Heavens Wept

3rd round WoL - Armor Breaker SSB - Quick combo - Quick offense and quick refresh ( regen mp) running out mp is bad Ayaka Dual White - Curaja + re rasise Fryevia - Frost Flower Blitz Sephiroth - The Heavens Wept Sephiroth - The Heavens Wept

4th round I would start with what I did in 1st round IF I was low on HP I had both Sephiroths cast curaga while SSB recast Thunders protection and akaya cast barfira

I would repeat this all till I got him down to 49% which would take about 4 turns give or take depend on rng  and how much needed sephiroths to do heals.

At this point Hyperion Plasma Cannon rng become my issue, I had to really start useing WoL Brave presence +2 in between the other other skills I was having him use as I didnt want anyone getting hit by that, as I was already have issue  keep up with heals.

I have no issue killing him under this setup so long as RNG dont get me, Confuse is the big issue here, unless you have immunity to them which i didnt hence SSB Status reset.

So long as you Arm breaking or Full break when you NOT attacking and rebuffing and your Armor breaking/Full Break when you chaining attacks fights it not much of issue and SSB rebuff/Akaya/sepiroths heal as needed.

Now getting the LB kill was tricky do to having to delay attacks and takeing extra rounds of damage, cause I need both seph to have LB and to have SSB Quick attack and WoL Armor breaker to just do do the remaining damage need to to get the kill. I was 1% from kill him with LB on 5 different occasions

I was unable to get no magic achievement though after get LB all other kills got easier, IF you have dual cast ability equip it to toon using carbuncle to cast barfira and barthundra in one round which would make thing much easier on heals. and free up SSB to use Quick combo - Quick offense and quick refersh more often and Status reset as needed.

Im sure there easier way to do this if you have right setups and gear to do it but this how I managed it
