Talk:Cave of Rebirth/New Trial of Rebirth

Took me a while
Used my typical esper 3 stars set up. Mystea, WoL 100% evasion, trance terra (1500 mag, fully awakened ), tilith and seaside nichol. Friend trance terra with 1600+ mag (the higher the better, must be fully awakened ) helps

Gear Mystea ~150 fire defense. Then get as much SPR/HP as possible.

Once I finally figure out that keeping Mystea alive was the key, it became easier. You have until round 11 to kill Phoenix before he recovers.

WoL keeps provoke up. Debuff mag when needed

Keep mag debuff up always. Dispel every turn he buffs. And reapply debuff.

sNichol should always have foam active for Mystea to tank non elemental magic damage. A shade thrown in from time to time helps.

Tilith keep elements and att/mag/spr buffs up. Heals when needed. Dispel if needed.

Trance Terra's are chaining awakened chaos waves every turn. Just chip away.

This was a lot of trial and error. I found a 1900 mag trance terra friend which Is how I best the first time.

2 Turns
If you're anything like me, you procrastinate and never do anything when they first come out. I'll list out units but this one is pretty easy.

You will want a magic tank for the first attack. Awakened Rain has 90% innate Fire resistance and is very easy to build. Mine ended up with 180% (230% with Phoenix).

AK Rain can probably do this solo with an Ice element great sword. If you don't kill Phoenix in the first turn, he'll fully heal himself on its turn. I waited until 2nd turn since evoking Shiva was needed.

I had both Yuna (Prayer to the Aeons+2) and MS Nichol (Barrier Stance + Heroic Stance) to fill the Esper gauge.

I also had an Enhanced Fryevia tho in retrospect she wasn't really necessary.

You do have to kill Phoenix with magic. Thankfully MS Nichol has Blizzaja which has a long enough frame that it hit after Phoenix was dead already. Make sure you fire off Shiva before Rain's LB and fire off Blizzaja after firing Rain's LB.
