Gravity Mechanic
Demon Wall will approach the party every three turns. Using Gravity or Graviga when it uses MS The demon wall has started moving! will delay the wall's movement by one turn, causing it to only move forward every fourth turn.

The attack pattern and skills used by the boss depends on how many times it has moved forward. After three movements, additional attacks are used, and so forth.

Unless your team has enough damage to win before this becomes an issue, try to always use Gravity or Graviga at each MS The demon wall has started moving! trigger.

Thresholds

 * Pre-emptive attack:
 * MS Demonic Wall
 * Ends Turn


 * 70%, 50%, 30%, 10% Threshold:
 * Follows normal turn actions, then ends turn with: MS Malediction of Stone
 * Will queue up MS Malediction of Stone on following turns if multiple thresholds were pushed.


 * First turn, and after every movement:
 * MS The demon wall has started moving!


 * If MS The demon wall has started moving! was used on the previous turn:
 * If hit with Gravity or Graviga then:
 * Delays MS Approach by one additional turn
 * Else will use MS Approach and move forward one turn earlier

Reference Table

 * This table will only work if you use gravity correctly at every trigger
 * Missing a gravity will cause these turns to de-sync

Tips

 * See testimonials and discussions.
 * If a unit has dual wield or can multi-cast a damage attack, then the Demon Wall will use up its counters on only that one unit.

Example Strategy

 * Example Team used for clearing with all missions:
 * Awakened Warrior of Light Provoker, Death Immune, Earth Resist (from Esper)
 * Folka Healer, Immunity Buffs, Gravity (from Esper)
 * Sacred Shield Charlotte Magic Cover, General Mitigation
 * Machina Breaker
 * Warrior of Light Bartz Chainer
 * Warrior of Light Bartz Chainer

This team only used 4* and below TMR equipment, or event gear. The units used could be swapped out for anyone to fill those same roles.

Warrior of Light provoked the ST physical hits and the death while wearing death immunity equipment. He was on Titan with Barstonga learned to keep earth resist up on the party. In his spare turns he helped with barriers, healing, and DEF buffing. He also buffed general mitigation on turn one.

Charlotte covered the magic attack and took over general mitigation buffing after turn one. She was on Carbuncle with Dispel learned to help with dispel duties when she had a free action.

Folka kept all immunity buffs up and healed the party, and she also handled gravity duties (with the dualcast materia and Diablos).

Machina just broke ATK/MAG every turn, and helped chain a bit with the DPS.

Bartz spent the first few rounds charging up, then just chained every round after that.
