Tips[]
- Testimonials and discussions.
- There is a HP lock at the 49%, 29%, and 19% threshold.
- Prepare petrify and stop (poison, disease less necessary) resistance for all units.
- It is possible to gain a 'free' turn before phase 2 begins. If your current team is wiped by the 50% threshold attacks before Alpherg can cast Stone Breath, it will delay Stone Breath until its following turn when it will do only that and nothing else.
- Tank recommendation:
- Phase 1:
- You can use provoker and either physical or magical cover.
- Provoker + physical cover (100% evasion). Your party has to withstand his AoE magic, which will be much easier by using water resistance gears and buffs (wind resistance is optional).
- Provoker + magic cover. Your party has to survive his AoE physical (harder, needs good DEF gears/buffs, ATK break, and mitigation, or use an AoE mirage skill every turn).
- All thresholds of phase 1 are AoE magic and no physical damage, except Great March at 70%.
- You don't need your physical tank when crossing phase-1 thresholds; this may open slot for additional dps/breaker/buffer to help on damage.
- You can use provoker and either physical or magical cover.
- Phase 2:
- Recommended provoker and magic cover.
- To cross the 50% threshold, you have to choose either physical or magic cover; endure the other damage.
- Tips: you can use magic cover and mitigate Insanely Mad with AoE mirage, e.g. Fenrir. This will also allow you to bench your physical tank.
- The other phase-2 thresholds are AoE magic and no physical damage.
- Keep note that the damage of these thresholds are very high; use your best break/buff/mitigation. Do not rely on using reraise on tank, as Alpherg's thresholds deal multiple damage and if your tank dies too early, the untanked damage may wipe your team.
- Tips: in phase 2, Alpherg's regular pattern are randomly dangerous, namely the Bite Down, Super Hydraulics, and Abyssal Zone, the first two deal HP-based fixed damage to your tank which requires Guard and/or mitigation to survive. To reduce chance of failing randomly, try to push him into threshold in every turn and plan your mitigation accordingly.
