Tips

Written as of the event's original release date. Will be outdated due to power creep.

• See testimonials and discussions.
• You can find Metal Gigantuars in ADV, PRO, and ELT difficulties and they drop ADV = 300, PRO = 450, ELT = 500
• Metal Gigantuars do 10,000 fixed damage to one enemy on the second turn so you need to inflict Paralyze for some free hits, inflict sleep in the end of your turn to make it lose its turn, or kill it in one turn. You can bypass its high defense by using fixed damage consumables like Bomb Fragment.
• In ELT the waves are not random, the first wave will be a PSICOM Aerial Recon, a Marauder and a Pantheron, the second one a Beta Behemoth or Metal Gigantuar, the third wave a Myrmidon and the last wave the Warmech.
• Full Break is recommended on the stronger enemies. You can use either mage or melee team.
• If you are using mage team, chain Thundaga. Use Firaga against the Myrmidon.
• You may also inflict Paralyze to the enemies except for Boss (30% chance on Myrmidon, (bugged) 100% chance with Black Cat Lid).
• Myrmidon can buff his DEF/SPR with Defensive Measures every turn and you should dispel it to make the fight quicker
• If you lower the Warmech's HP below 50%, it will use Charge. You need to finish it ASAP to avoid being attacked by the Wave Cannon.
• A simple way to deal a high amount of damage in a single turn is to use the classic Final Fantasy reflect multiplier. Use Carbuncle's Ruby Light to cast reflect on the entire team. After that, target a team member and cast Thundaga. This will cause Thundaga to be reflected - with a full team - 6 times instantly to the enemy units.
