Talk:Cave of Rebirth/Trial of Rebirth

Hi guys this is Donovan904! I kept waiting for someone to post a guide for 2* Phoenix, but no one did so I guess it is up to me! The real MVP for this fight is Mystea [or insert other magic cover tank]. I had her geared with 150% fire resistance and 105% Earth resistance [Phoenix 1*, Cat eared hood, Hero's shield, Rainbow robe and 2x True Hydaelyn Guard]. The rest of my team was Roy, Veritas of the Dark, Orlandeau, Eiko and a friend Freyvia, but I don't think you really need any 5* units to complete this. The real trick is getting all the achievements in one go, but with a properly geared Mystea no one should come even close to dying. Cast fire with Eiko [Ifrit] until Phoenix casts Red Hot Feathers then chain him down until 1 or 2 percent and finish him off with a limit burst [Don't forget to summon]. If you try him without a well geared magic tank then you're gonna have a bad time [I know I did my first try]. I hope this guide helps someone!


 * Nicely done Donovan, particularly about the importance of Mystea. I just wanna say about my run, that after doing Triteleia Wall on turn 1, she failed to proc it for the first 3 turns. Mystea & my other supports, WoL & Lunera for singing (yeah, Roy woulda been better) got through ok, but my 3 attackers got a really good thrashing. Fortunately she started proc'ing it more reliably after that! -Shakers

Cave of Rebirth 2star win by FalconX > Party: WoL (recovery rod, moogle plushie, ribbon, dualcast +golem esper), Chow (spr626, flame shield/armor/helm, mechanical heart +ifrit), Ashe (mag821 for main heal/chain combo), Barbariccia (mag871 +ramuh esper), trance terra (mag1035) friend: trance terra (mag1k+)

Strategy: Chow keeps spiritual defender up full time, WoL does full break, dc cura's/raise if need / backup heal, Ashe -heaven's fury for heals & chain combo w/ mages, Barbariccia - x2 tornados for chain, trance terra x2 chaos wave awakened.

> just keep Chow cover up full time, WoL needs provoke for ST physicals, Have to get fire x5 on phoenix before 40%, only 1 fire proc per round. Dont bother on WoL cover, will mess up Chows cover, w/ full break on will do not much dmg. > got all three done 2nd try, ~14 rounds before used fire x5 & 3 100%hp refills, easy win. Have fun. --Gogamer2018 (talk) 04:34, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

IMPORTANT: There is no point in damaging Phoenix before he has cast Red Hot Feathers (unless you can 40%-0% him in one turn)

In order to get him to cast Red Hot Feathers, the action sequence must be exactly:


 * 1) Hit him with Fire while he has fire imperil up.
 * 2) During his turn, he will switch resistances
 * 3) Hit him with ice, water, earth, or dark
 * 4) He will switch resistances
 * 5) Hit him with Fire.
 * 6) He will switch resistances
 * 7) Hit him with ice, water, earth, or dark
 * 8) He will switch resistances
 * 9) Hit him with Fire
 * 10) He will switch resistances
 * 11) Hit him with ice, water, earth, or dark
 * 12) Hit him with Fire (for the fourth time)
 * 13) Phoenix will cast Red Hot Feathers, which will buff +40% all his stats and disable his auto-heal.
 * 14) IMPORTANT! Dispel his 40% buff

Make sure to bring a magic tank with 160%+ fire resist to cover the party, they will most likely not take any damage the whole fight and the tank will soak minimal damage. Bring mana regen, buffs & debuffs.

My Party: Basch (Magic Cover, Debuff) Ayaka (Heal) Roy (Buff + Debuff) Prompto (Finisher) Reberta (Fire/Ice damage, Chainer) Reberta (Fire/Ice damage, Chainer)

To be honest, bringing AoE magic resist isn't necessary if you have a magic tank. Good luck!
