Vision of Bahamut - Trial

Abilities

 * Attack up to 4 times per turn.
 * Megaflare: Magic damage (10x) to all enemies
 * Megaflare is used after 1 turn delay, indicated by the text "A massive beam of light is forming!"
 * First used as a preemptive attack (Charge up before player act, Megaflare on turn 1).
 * [Bug] App interruption may cause the charge up to happen after player's actions.
 * Used on 40% HP threshold.
 * Used every 3 turns after 40% HP threshold, meaning there is a 1 turn gap where it's not charging or firing Megaflare.
 * Maelstrom: HP damage (99%) to all enemies
 * Used on 50% HP threshold.
 * Poison Breath: Inflict poison (50%) to all enemies and magic damage (1.2x) to all enemies

Strategy

 * Guard, jump, or hide once Shadow Bahamut is charging its Megaflare.
 * Megaflare is non-elemental. Aside from guarding, jumping, or hiding, all you can do is increase and buff your HP/SPR.
 * Bring a healer (or several) with high SPR, preferably one that can take Megaflare without guarding, like Y'shtola when she has Divine Seal active.
 * Use the calculator below to find the value of SPR needed to not die.
 * The only physical damage it can do is normal attacks, so DEF and cover is not a priority in this fight.
 * Shadow Bahamut's spammable attacks consist of 5 different elements (fire, earth, water, lightning, ice). Use all elements resistance buff like Maries's Love You All, Cloud of Darkness's Omni-Veil, or Tilith's Rainbow Veil.
 * Starting from 40% HP onward, Shadow Bahamut will charge its Megaflare while continuing to use other attacks.
 * Shadow Bahamut HP cannot drop below 40% on the turn it reaches that threshold.
 * [Bug] Based on the AI, Shadow Bahamut will not use Megaflare again if you knock its HP to the 40% threshold on turn multiples of 3 minus 1 (turn 2, 5, 8, 11, 14, ...)
