Talk:Scorn of Tiamat

Power-crept all-missions clear with Tifa
(October 2020, a mere 215 days after release)

Team: MM Xon, Marie, Kurasame, AD Akstar, Tifa, Loren (I brought my own companion).

Tifa can easily kill on turn 2, but you need to survive turn 1. You will be hit with aoe fire and dark, so I just went for 100% resist on those. Marie can do that with Excessive Lover (actually all elements for 100%), plus 200% def/spr and 50% mitigation. It is only for 1 turn, which is all you need. The 2x Venom Fang will hit random units, so you can get unlucky with that (killed my Akstar on my first run).

If you don't finish on turn 2, you will be hit with aoe ice after a 90% imperil, so this team will definitely NOT survive to turn 3!

Unit notes:


 * MM Xon. Spreads atk and dragonkiller buffs from Akstar, and water imbue from Tifa. Chains AMoE with Akstar on turn 2.


 * Marie. Mine was nude and survived ok, but some defensive gear might be an idea since she needs to survive to summon the esper on turn 2.


 * Kurasame. Any unit with esper-filling ability will do. I initially was going to use WoL Lenna for the fire resist plus reraise on Kurasame so he could help chain on turn 2, but I didn't realise there was also dark damage. That wrecked my plans, so I switched to Marie, and Kurasame will just have to stay dead. Fortunately, the additional chaining was not required.


 * AD Akstar. Triple casts his moves to boost dragon damage 100% + 300% atk buff + whatever on turn 1. Does his best AMoE moves on turn 2.


 * Tifa. The usual for T2KO: shifts on turn 1 to buff and hits with LB on turn 2. Gear with some auto-fill LB gear to be sure to be sure. Her shifted stats were about 3500 atk, 225% dragonkiller, 195% LB damage boost. I think she did over 800 million damage in the end, so the chainers' damage didn't matter.


 * Loren. Starts things off with triple of break + barrage (to help clear Tiamat's 5 mirages) + Blade of Devotion (for mod boosts). Since she has no chaining partner, she will shift on turn 2 and triple cast her Blade of Ruin finisher. The timing for this is, start her about 1 second before the AMoE triple-chain. As noted above though, she wasn't really needed for damage.

That's about it.

Edit to add: MM Xon was setup as provoke/evade tank.

OTK EASY WITH DOUBLE NV TERRA
For those who wants to farm this beast there is an easy way if you have the right team for it. All you need is a Breaker, Buffer, Relm for rod weakness buff. Then finally 2 NV Terra. Just buff yourselves, use Relm's "Would you pose for a portrait" ability and break the beast then brave shift both Terras and use triple Chaos Wave. That's it. You get tons of unit exp and 9k rank exp for 10 nrg. Also make sure NV terra uses rods instead of swords to make use of Relm's 35% Rod imperil.
