Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * The Great Malboro and Queen Malboro use Bad Breath every 2 turns, regardless of thresholds. Cross thresholds on odd-numbered turns to avoid being hit by Bile and Bad Breath in the same turn.
 * Mini Malboro's Explosive Thrust target can be provoked on the turn when they jump (not the turn when they land).
 * Ideally, it is recommended to have either a magical or physical cover tank with provoke included, a strong source of mitigation (at least 30%), a Ribbon for every member of the party or Marie's Lovely Guard awakened at least +1, or Folka status ailment protection.
 * If that route is chosen, then the tank should use a source of death resist (i.ex. Genji Shield) or a re-raise unit. The first alternative will allow the party to have a supporter instead of a dedicated re-raiser.
 * The second wave Mini Malboros will kill the provoke tank if unluckily 2 of them jump. In that case, there are two options: Or the built options of the cover tank also includes 100% physical evasion or the party has the power to OTKO every Malboro (including the queen) avoiding risks to be obliterated by the jumps.
 * If the above cannot comply, probably the trial is too difficult for you right now.
 * Using a party full Ribbon sacrifices SRP/HP/ATK/MAG/DEF needed to quicken and survive incoming damage, keep this in mind.
 * If happens to be possible the party can possess a Marie/Folka and a Mercenary Ramza with stop protection (i.ex. Shiva's Stop Through) you have the battle controlled for the most of the unwanted escenarios.
 * If you can OTKO Queen Malboro, but it is not possible to OTKO Great Malboro, there's no need of a magic cover tank with Charm resistance, Awaken Rain with TMR would be ideal, because he will resist Malboro's Freeze Prey. In another hand, if you can OTKO Great Malboro, but you can not OTKO Queen Malboro, Mercenary Ramza is the tank you will need.
 * This trial is a split between older trials that can be done through 6 stars units entirely and new trials where it is needed a nice amount (or an entire party) of 7 stars unit to be on a safe spot.
