Talk:Save Your Elf

Save Your Elf Legend
Used Mystea with 100% wind resist and have her above 10,000 HP. Just pretty much had her wall the entire time and lotus mage fina cast reraise on her every turn (not needed, but was safe). Then just let my attackers have at him. He used Gift Exchange at 50% and 15%. The 10K fixed damage is reduced with increased defense. WOL could probably block it, but got it on my first go. Room for improvement, but basics are here to get you through it at least.

Surviving the first attack + Ye Ol Regina and Pod Chainers
The boss opens with a preemptive wind magic attack that'll inflict confuse on the unit with the highest attack, but that is provokable. Any unit could be that target, but you'll need some equips and materias from previous events (and one that's obtainable now). My setup for that is:
 * Wind Buckler (Mission in game, 50% Wind resist)
 * K Producer's Jacket (Special Event, 20% Provoke)
 * Moogle Charm (FFXV) (Crowned Noctis' Exploration Event, 50% Provoke)
 * Wrapped Gift (Winter Mayhem and Holiday Road, 20% Provoke)
 * Jewel of Strength (Craftable from the Octopath Event, 10% Provoke)
 * Any other Materia that'll nullify Confusion
 * Tetra Sylphid (50% Wind resist)

My party is 4 Santa Roselias and Regina. One of the Roselias is the provoker. The other has Shiva (Defensive Freeze). The last two have Dual Wield, two ice weapons (they also have "Equip _____" so they can use them) and, of course, the Pods. Regina is equiped with an ice gun and as many ATK increase/Spirt Killers as possible.

Using Regina's Penta-tactics (Power Generator + Cana's System + Anti-Fairy Module + Reboot Comand + Regina Cannon) as timing counter, the pods should be activated when Cana's System name show up. If you fail, make sure that not ALL your units have attacked, close the app and open it again. Continue the quest and you'll have another shot.

Merry Christmas to you all and Happy Holidays as well!

Save Your Elf with BluEvanescent
Hello and welcome back to the BluEvanescent, where tips and tricks are barely even researched. Save Your Elf is consist of resisting Wind damage, as well as trying to have someone to protect your entire party from fixed damage. Now, I can assure you that this battle is NOT for the people who have started as of this week BUT, you will need some allies with far superior gears - even if this unit is not a bonus unit.

Unit Requirements

 * Magic Tank unit (Mystea, Shylt, Latyl, Awakened Rain, CG Charlotte, AI Katy, any units that are under the Magic Tank)
 * Physical or Magical Damager with/without Wind affinity (CG Bartz can be used for innate Wind damage)
 * Wind Resistance (50%> is required)
 * Reraise Healer (if any)
 * Bonus Unit (if any)

Tips

 * Since the enemy relies on magic damage, I suggest to buff your MAG Tank with Wind Resistance and use your buffed MAG Tank to mitigate magic damage, including fixed damage.
 * Keep this in mind that the fixed damage deals AoE 10000 magic damage. So, be prepared to reraise your Tank when killed.
 * Debuff the enemy with any stat debuffs, including ice resistance.
 * The enemy is weak against Ice, so try to use your weapons or units with Ice affinity
 * Chain as much as possible to reduce his HP. If you want to one shot the Elf, you need any unit (either CG 7 star Noctis or Regina) with high ATK damage and have the ability to stack damage.

Conclusion
Overall, this enemy is tough as nails. Not as tough as the Mischievous Archmage since last year. Surely, Lucas can do the mitigation if you have any, but I would not recommend to use your Lapiz or your tickets. Anyway, thank you for reading and this is the BluEvanescent, signing out.

Xmas Grinch again?
Well correct me if I'm wrong, but you can't even summon for the minor bonus units like Santa Roselia or Tinkerer Carrie? I'm definitely not going after the premium units either... my luck at xmas has always been a bit sad :(

So anyway... I'm just bringing a pair of ice chainers: Raegen + Pyro Glacial Lasswell and they are making mincemeat of this boss with help from Roy using his Latent ability to buff/debuff by 140%/70%. Raegen starts with Crimson Frost Edge +2 for 110% ice imperil and PG Lasswell just follows suit with his best AMOE chain... erm... Obliterating Mirror of Equity. Raegen's attack is with ice so gear him with best non-elemental weapon, but Lasswell needs Hyomonto.

Come to think of it, this seems ideal for Fryevia, whom I've never used since she didn't drop for me until over a year after she was released...

Oh yeah I probably gotta setup a provoke tank... thanks for the tip above. I've just been lucky so far. My Merc Ramza just got killed by the pre-emptive attack, and he is as tanky as!

Actually, what WAS that attack that killed my Merc Ramza??? It must have been insta-death, & I don't see any attacks like that in the Wiki. Anyways... got my Santa Roselia setup as an agent provocateur, thanks to the tips above by TheHybridDragon (I didn't have Jewel of Strength in my list of passive provoke, so thanks for that). If that insta-death knocks out Roy or Raegen or PG Lasswell, I would be mildly bemused to say the least.

Save Your Elf LGD, enhanced Units
All 7* units with abilities awakened, ice users and chainers.

Awakened Rain - 110% wind resistance, TMR equipped, 1300 SPR, Tetra Sylphid Gentiana - free unit from this FFXV event at 7* with TMR & STMR equipped, 1805 MAG, Shiva LM Fina - 1107 SPR, TMR equipped, Lakshimi Fryevia - 1244 ATK & 1626 MAG, TMR equipped, Bahamut Hyoh - 1801 ATK, TMR equipped, Odin

Hyoh is equipped with a large ice element sword Icebrand (FFV) to chain with Fryevia. Bringing along a friend unit that either has another Fryevia or more than likely another Gentiana since the FFVX event is still going on. Hyoh also has the highest ATK stat so i equipped human with a Confusion Resist ability which didn't lower his stat. Fryevia is already resistant to confusion. I haven't been able to clear one mission since Awakened Rain always gets KO'ed and I can't clear it on turn 1. This takes 3 turns for me.

Turn 1 Rotation: Awakened Rain - Energy Wall+2 Gentiana - W-Cast (Frozen Fractals 2x) LM Fina - W-Cast (Divine Veil + Shining Cheer) Hyoh - W-Cast (Way of the Void + Servant of the Blade) Fryevia - W-Cast (En Garde! + Frost Flower Blitz+2)

Turn 2 Rotation: Awakened Rain - Magical Distraction Gentiana - Frozen Fractals 2x LM Fina - Reraise 2x (on Awakened Rain and Self) Hyoh - T-Cast Servant of the Blade 3x Fryevia - T-Cast Frost Flower Blitz+2 3x

Turn 3 Rotaion: Awakened Rain - Energy Wall+2 Gentiana - Diamond Dust LB or W-Cast (Frozen Fractals 2x) LM Fina - Rereaise 2x (Hyoh & Fryevia) Hyoh - T-Cast (Servant of the Blade 3x) Fryevia - T-Cast (Frost Flower Blitz+2 3x)

Solo Save your elf
That elf have high DEF and High SPR but only 10M HP, it is very suitable for a fix damage battle. And my suggest solo unit is Kryla. We coud kill the elf exactly in 4 turn with not much RNG interfering. All other slot could be filled with low level bonus unit include companion. Kryla only need 100 wind resist and as much HP as possible and a Crazy day ability for backup. As for me my Kryla is 20kHP with 100 wind resist it is quite easy to achive due to her high HP and elemental resist already. The battle take exactly 4 turn: Turn 1: Calamity Brew + Impending Doom Turn 2: Eye of Doom + Soul Surge II Turn 3: Crazy day Turn 4:Jinx - Sap ATK Pot + Jinx - Sap MAG Pot The first turn imperial all 8 elemental and break 4 stats The second turn active Hex 300k x 12 = 3.6M Turn 3 and 4 just back up to make sure debuff remain. At the end of turn 4 total damage will be 3.6Mx3 = 10.8 M and kill the elf. The only worth damage mention is gilf exchange which is 10k fix damage could by pass with Kryla high HP.
