Event Tips

 * Dread Slime from PRO and ELT has a very high DEF, bring a unit with magic damage.
 * Up to 6 Rabite (Monster) may spawn, dropping each. They can be found as a rare encounter on ADV and above. They always appear in the second battle, replacing Axe Beak.
 * Exdeath works well here, especially against bosses in PRO and ELT which are weak to Light, and dual cast meteor can easily take care of the slime. You can equip Excalibur on fighters for additional damage.
 * Win PRO using only Exdeath with at least magic 430 (400+ MAG Exdeath needs you to use Diabolos/Shiva's granted ability Deshell / Faith).
 * Dragon Worm - Dual Black Magic: Thundaga
 * Axe Beak - Dual Black Magic: Blizzaga
 * Thunder Gigas - Dual Black Magic: Meteor & Osmose (He had a little health left, used autoattack to finish off, level 10 bonus units)
 * Dual Black Magic: Firaga with Flaming Wall (Primm lvl 36) / Deshell / Faith (400+ MAG saves MP. Combination of one of the two)
 * King Vampire - Wicked Light
 * Dual Black Magic: Firaga with Flaming Wall (Primm) / Deshell / Faith (Cheaper MP)
 * Dread Slime - Dual Black Magic: Meteor & Osmose
 * Exdeath limit break: 100% Paralyze
 * Dark Lich - Dual Black Magic: Meteor & Meteor
 * With 500+ MAG and 300 MP, Exdeath can beat PRO without using Dualcast. Mix and match with the above strategy to find whatever is most convenient for you.
 * Dragon Worm - Meteor
 * Axe Beak - Blizzaga
 * Thunder Gigas - Meteor
 * King Vampire - Wicked Light
 * Dread Slime - Meteor
 * Dark Lich - Wicked Light
 * At close to 500 MAG, the Dark Lich may survive Wicked Light, but he should be so low on health that even weak auto attacks will finish him.
 * Even in ELT a well leveled and equipped Exdeath can potentially destroy most of the bosses himself, although certain help like Rain's Undermine or buffs to Exdeath's MAG may be required in some cases.
 * In ELT Ling's Feint Step can be useful to avoid Dual Black magic and save MP using Exdeath.
 * If you have Dark Fina with 500+ MAG and Ramuh stage 2 you can clear the first 5 stages of PRO using dual black magic aeroga, then the 6th stage using dual cast Ultima.
 * You can gain up to +18 chains by auto attacking with 5 Popoi (bonus unit) and time it to secure the kill using Exdeath magic.
 * Bartz (Hybrid gear: 300 ATK 455 MAG, no Dual Wield) can defeat PRO solo by chaining Wind Shear.

Abilities

 * Counter-Magic - Allows caster to reflect magic spells.
 * Saintly Beam - Powerful Light damage a single unit.
 * Fire Breath - Powerful Fire magic damage to all units.
 * Charge - Massive physical damage to all units and inflicts Paralysis
 * Claws - Physical damage to a single unit

Strategy

 * Carbuncle's magic reflecting trick also works here assuming you will be able to summon during this stage.
 * ELT boss is Fairy, Dragon, and Beast hybrid, so equipping Beast Killer, Dragon Killer, and Spirit Slayer will give additional damage.
 * Equiping Excalibur or Rune Blade could give your unit additional damage. Exdeath's Wicked Light is also effective. Warrior of Light may also be helpful in providing Full Break while damaging through Shining Wave (MAG gear) or his limit burst (ATK gear).
 * Barfira will provide a resistance to Fire Breath and reduce damage taken. Can be obtained by crafting or Carbuncle.
 * Reflect can be dispelled with Dispel, Fingersnap or Pretty Steel. Debuffs must be re-applied however. Alternatively, mages can bypass reflect with Special Abilities (such as Wicked Light which, with Imperil, averages at 95.2% of the damage of a dualcasted Meteor) or limit bursts which deal magic damage.
 * Exdeath can equip a combination of Flame Mail and Flame Shield to get 100% fire resistance and be immune to Fire Breath attack. And then, equiping Ifrit on Ling will give her 100% fire resist since she has innate 50% fire resist already.
