We really need a sleepga or a sleep shell. How are folks sleeping targets now? The trusty buster? Phantasm? Lullaby?what a pain in the butt.

I still have a RW friend with the aoe sleep shared SB from the Seifer trio days. At 50% proc rate it's still the highest in the game. I also use Phantasm.

Yuffie with Valkyrie, Phantasm, and some other Magic attack does the trick usually for me.

When a group sleep is essential, I always bring Sheepskin Cloak, an FF8 light armor with a shared Sleepga. But those encounters aren't numerous, so I usually just rely on Sleep Buster, and if it never works then oh well... The only time I can think of where sleep was essential for victory is one of the recent dungeons--I forget which.
If it's the counters that are getting you, consider bringing Lure Magic. My Edgar had it on his second slot and was able to render the counter-Drain pretty much irrelevant.

Chadarnook's weak phase ended up being way easier than the start of the fight after having built up a bunch of meter and using all of the mitigation. Wall + Shellga + Full Break + Magic Breakdown + Cleansing Strike = lol.
Holy shit, I went into this ultimate without a dispeling move, totally forgot about it.
That was really tough, managed to master it first try but took 3 s/l.
My healer died to his spams, thankfully my Ramza got all his relic so he could pop up his medica and Agrias's SB helped a lot!
Edit : oh and I also forgot to put Mako Might on Ramza, I guess the extra challenge was nice :lol

Mastered the Rufus ultimate with this team,
Retaliate Advance of course. Ended up losing one medal to damage but had to save load 4 times. I can't see many being successful without some good synergy on their gear. Do not forget dispel to remove the haste effect!!!!!

That'll be when the combat nightmare dungeon opens
Somehow mastered Hojo U+ on first try despite 2 deaths, and 1 very near death at the end. I wanted to try with a primarily physical team and it worked ok, it just dragged on for a while. Team was Exdeath (I probably should have picked a different black mage for this), Faris, Locke, Yshtola, Ramza. Exdeath died shortly after dispelling Hojo's buffs and only got off 1 Thundaja. I found Rufus ultimate to be quite a lot easier.
So after forgetting to bring BLM, I just chuck Comet on Sephiroth instead of Barrage.
And promptly forget to use it until literally right up at the end where it deals the finishing blow.
(lol)
Of course, since I was way more efficient this time around I got full medals on everything else, meaning the BLM was unnecessary.

For the above picture, does it need to be Dispel itself or can Banishing Strike be used?
Same here. I haven't even started Vincent's event yet. I'll do that on Monday.
One-shot both Rufus and Hojo. Rufus got a bit dicey cause he got hasted by Dog right when I hit Lifesiphon on Agrias... then /forgot/ to use Banishing Blade the turn after. @_@
Hojo took forever and a half because it wasn't until I said "fuck it" at ~50% and risked Full Break getting countered that I realized his counters were yoinked by Draw Fire. That and the free 5 hit combos, otherwise I was only hitting him for ~4k per retaliate / Rinoa spell.

I'm not sure I *get* Bonus Battles and Ultimates.
I have decent teams, some good gear, nice hones...
But they still feel like slog-fests that are unfairly stacked against the player so that they can sap Stamina (if you don't quit and restart) and the only way to make any decent headway is to basically just get lucky the whole way through and hope the RNG causes the enemies to act sub-optimally as long as possible.
I love Final Fantasy and Record Keeper's been fun, but at this point "progression" is keeping up with the Bonus and Ultimate battles, and they're just the opposite of fun.
I don't want them to be *easy,* but moving them into spitting distance would make them much better for morale and more appealing in general.

Totally forgot to use black magic on the hojo ultimate as well. Thank goodness it only cost 1 stamina 
Post your setup then? Kinda hard to dispense advice without even knowing the ballpark.
AOE but doesn't do damage. Same debuff.
Ultimate Rufus down. He deserves his reputation, he hits like a truck and likes to spam mako cannons 3,4 in a row. Luckily for me Bartz SSB added a 3rd layer of defense that made me tough enough to stand against him, that and Heavy regen was mitigation enough. The hard part for me was Dark Nation and his dispels, most of my S/Ls came from there. Now for Hojo.

That's the team I'm going after the Rufue Ultimate with, but even when the RNG gives me an instant first turn with Y'shtola and I put up Stonekin, get major Regen from RW Diving Guardian, and immediately put Hope and Y'shtola on healing duty I just can't stay ahead of the ridiculous amounts of damage Rufus can put out near-constantly. ANd then sometimes it feels like he'll just have it out for a single character for some reason and he'll pound on them 4 or 5 times in a row.
I know I need to pump up levels and I made a mistake with one of the Record Materia, but I feel like things shouldn't be as hopeless as they are. I'm just hitting a brick wall of anti-enjoyment.
I've got Shout, Stoneskin II, Hastega+Major Regen from RWs, a Cid and Shadow have multi-hitting Soul Breaks. Isn't that supposed to be, like, the coveted awesome set-up?
So I'm forced to take SG/SS2. Ugh, I'm going to get destroyed lol
Both ultimates are 100% physical so dont even bother with shellga.
Well, if you struggled with last Ultimates this one is way way harder, more than Bahamut Sin IMO.
But theres RNG on the battle so maybe you get lucky and he doesnt use Mako Cannon or doggie doesnt dispel you.

Yeah, I figured so, Chadarnook totally destroyed me, so I don't have big hopes for this one. I still have good VII weapons and chars, so maybe I get lucky. The U+ seems way easier, though.
It'll be a fun week nonetheless, this Abyss dungeon seems cool, too.
He used two or three, but with full mitigation (Wall, Protectga, FB, Breakdown, Agrias' SB).
Yeah give it the try. If you have something like Agrias shield it can help a lot. Heavy regen is also very good.
I saw Selphie BSSB in action holy shit thats OP, Curaja + Regen and 2 hits holy + dispel.
And the entrance command is an stackeable Mind+Mag 30% buff.
I see. Agrias SB makes sense, the third layer of mitigation is OP.
Speaking of huge damage, Thief's revenge with the proper setup seems to be more damaging than most SBs. It's 5 hits, plus a decent heal in chars that can themselves steal power. I'm thinking Vaan in the next event can be a monster. Heck, Yuffie herself was doing the 5 hits in this event, I killed the poor Turks mostly with it and Shout.
I should level up Vaan...

I'm really surprised that a lot of you found Rufus harder than Chadarnook. For me it's the opposite. Mastered it without problems. Main reason should be Lightning's SSB does damage against him. (The lightning attribute sucks sometimes <.<) Anyway just lost some medals because of Mako Cannon, but everything else was perfect. Same party as the last few Ultimates. I'm tired of listing the same tactics again.
Just Ultimate+ left. Should be doable with Draw Fire and Retaliate. Especially if you can taunt the counters.

Little bit of a headscratcher here. Outside of levels (which actually do matter) and some of the RMs (you don't need haste with a hastega RW) that's indeed an awesome set of gear.
FWIW I ate two with the no-medals-lost result. Probably right up against the edge for 1 medal lost with the new adjusted requirements.
Yeah, has to be Dispel, when he puts up all those buffs.

Why did it have to be Tyro? There are plenty of characters with Black 5/White 3.
Native wall and already leveled to 80.

Looking at my current state in FFRK, I think I should be honing my -aja spells to R3. Is it worth converting the major black orbs to cover the shortfall? Do I need them for anything?
Also, Full break, yay or nay?

Full Break is probably the most useful 5* ability in the game right now. It's basically essential for tough fights, do it and get it to R2 ASAP, you won't regret it.
Major Black Orbs are useful for meteor, but R3 -ja spells might take priority.
