Any general tips? I tried and got wiped in one round.
Same here. Even with shellga and defend all of my units got wrecked after the first megaflare.
Team was
Marie, Gilga, Refia, Agrias and friend orleandaue.
First try using Cecil, Refia, Y'shtola, Orlandeau, and Friendlandu.
Just whittled his health down at the end with the Excalibur-equipped Orlandeaus (the 80% light resist worked in my favor) and finished him off with Shiva when there was nothing left on the bar. Was pretty easy with 3 Dualcast Healers and both Refia and Y'shtola could eat Megaflares without Guarding if needed.

The team I ran was my usual squad without a tank:
Refia
Ling
Aileen
Ramza
Addie's Marie
I didn't really do anything special. Heroes Rime, Love You All, Double Curaja, and Piledriver were my default moves. Ling played support and filled in where needed (aoe raise, mp regen, and occasional breaks).
I think the general tips I can give are:
- According to the wiki he's 80% resistant to light so do not use Excalibur
- All of my units had over 6k health except Addies' Marie who has 100+% resistance on all relevant elements
- Aoe raise was key for me. Refia would live megaflare even when not defending, and Ling could survive is she defended so she could aoe raise followed by double curaja
- He doesn't normal attack much so don't bother with a tank

Thanks, Alkez.
I actually managed to beat him easily on my 2nd try. Went in with Cecil, Setzer, Yun, Refia, and Marie. Got everything but the esper reward.
Used my two tickets: Shera and Galuf. FFS!!

Ah nice one, congrats (on the clear, not the pulls haha).
I think the fight is alright once you know what you're doing/what to expect. The wiki had the guide up pretty quickly so I had it open as I played.

I feel like 4 stars have gotten so much harder to get since Christmas, too many tickets trying to get Zyrus. Finally I can give Exdeath a break.

For sure. I've literally only had 2 on banner 4* this year. Ling and Shine.

Free summon, daily and 5 tix. Got the Mage so I'm happy with that. Rest was sellable trash. Raid is laughably easy and Trial wasn't really bad other than the first turn when I didn't realize he was doing Megaflare. Thankfully I recovered and beat his shit in.
Yeah. This just means I won't get Rikku. Getting multiple golds aint the problem. Getting banner gold unit is the problem. Fairly sure they have rarity system in goldies, just like they had in Blues before crystal change.

Raid and trial done.
Noct Tank
My 2x Orlandu
Trance Terra
Refia
Raid- 1 shot
Trial took 3 or 4 turns because outside of Refia, Noct, and 1 Orlandu the others were 5k hp and he'd kill them with aoe so I had to full life different units with Noct, Refia and TT numerous times.
Will do it again for a clean more refined run, just wanted to get it done before work.
Free summon....Aiden. I'm ok with that.

Very nice. Gz!!!
My personal favorite sprite in the game, and you get her TM for free by doing this event.

I've only just had a chance to look over the ability enhancements. Man Garnet's are really nice. That Curuja buff + what she eventually gets at 6* makes me really want to consider using her.
What are people currently using on their healers: Equip H Shield + Force Shield or an extra HP +15/30%?
Edit: Just did some quick math. It seems, at least in my setup, that 5* Garnet after enhancements heals 550 more than 6* Refia.

Well that trial was the easiest one...didn't get the burst pot but may try it again to do so!
And nice, just did a ticket summons and got Zyrus!

And of course, you can't get event units with raid coins or rewards.

Congrats Sean. Let us know how she is.
Honestly, she's probably just going to sit in my unit list not doing much. ><
My Refia with Carbuncle. Arsha's Talismans are still in the works:
On Reddit "you'll have your summon gauge ready at 50% easily", yeah...
5+ turns in a row without orbs.
At least it is done! Was really easy since he never used Megaflare at <40%, I never was in danger.
Yeah, not sure I want to do it again
. Boyband doing the work, screw the esper summons (Thats the Raid ELT).Trial was done with Cecil (death weight), Refia, Noctis, Noctis, Marie. Marie being MVP.
Grats, maybe someday we have Dragon fight where you need one (when killers are fixed).
Killers/elements working with jump attacks should be fixed by the time Esper Bahamut rolls around, I think?
Just sit tight 'til then!

Raid coins only stack to 9999. Annoying. Time to clear some space.
Well, at least you got an awesome spear and one of the best neutral weapons in the game.

You know, we are swimming in moogles and other shit
. This was my 15000 raid coins unit part:3x5000
16 units in that lower pull.
Anyone got bigger LB pots?
Oh you reminded me to pick up the Cat-ear Hood for my Refia! Also, do you not have a Magi Staff for her yet? Also I'm currently equipping the "Equip H Shield" ability with an Aegis Shield for extra Def and Spr there.
Well that's the Trial out the way!
a lot easier than previous ones, as long as Refia survives each round. I used Refia, Noctis, Orlandeau, Y's and Ling (with friend Orlandeau)
But I have a question regarding the Olandeau that I will be sharing for you guys...
Which of the following will be a better weapon / ability combo?
Setup A
Weapons: Genji Blade / Sakurafubuki
Abilities: Dual Wield / Quick Assault / Blade Mastery / Dragon Killer
Attack: 761
Setup B
Weapons: Genji Blade / Excalibur
Abilities: Dual Wield / Large Sword Mastery / Blade Mastery / Dragon Killer
Attack: 897
(Sigh, I really want a Genji Glove
)B will have the resist but way more attack. I'm not sure how this compares to A when doing something like Divine Ruination. I'm also not sure how much extra damage the Dragon Killer does.
Thoughts?

The latter for sure. Only the trial version resists light as far as I know, so for regular Raid farming it's fine.

Yea, this is a welcome event. I just finished off my first Gugnir and Equip H Armor.
Hoping I get enough to finish off Zyrus. I of course got Reberta moogles. Certainly hope I pull her.
Kind of bummed none of the characters are in the raid rewards or gacha this time.

Ah, I didn't think of melody of life. 6* Garnet after JP enhancements has 30% resist all, so with it she would be at 50% all elements, +/-50 for esper, and then minerva + cat ear hood.
Crap, the "987" was supposed to be "897"
I was thinking that was an insane difference haha.
Do you have Refia, Y's, Ling, Noctis or Orlandeau? You could try use a friend Orlandeau, at least 2 healers and your top heavy hitters. Defend didn't help much with me, you just have to close your eyes and hope for the best. Usually Refia was the one that survived for me, his other moves were hit or miss, sometimes a lot of the team survived, othertimes quite a few died. But I was always able to keep going with two healers. Noctis' Full Revive helped a lot too.
I'm very, very tempted to try my luck at one 11 pull. I've not done one (or used any tickets) since the Orlandeau banner. Hmm...
