Ah got the Black Knight raids down. Finished both first attempt. I've found this time Saturday tends to be pretty good (it was a few weeks ago for Sephiroph).
I bought. P. Cecil (Paladin Force praying for imperil...I figured holy was more popular than water plus he is a tank) and Panelo as support (dances) plus emergency heal button. Both new toys to me
For Apocolypse I team up with Two Beatrix both with their imperil burst, a Ramza, a Y'shtola (stoneskin), Rosa with burst (eh, it heals) and Vanille who had her USB (ooh stock...we didn't fall under any status so I guess that works too). All the healers bought Curaise...well except me as I was loaded with dances. Does Vanilles status dodge even work on Ultimate Tromp or not? Either way no KOs.
First wave took a while as we built up SB gague then went to town on the last two. Like wave two was 2 turns. I think that is the trick to winning this fight. Take wave 1 slowly with the aim of beating wave 3 quickly. But you need team mates
For U+ I hosted as well everyone needs stamina for holy orbs I guess and asked for Holy and got Beatrix and Y'shtola, Cloud and Larsa (this had curaga and ultra cure...I had esuna on Cecil and wasted a turn so I could cure a sleeping party member and then he pulls out ultra cure), Onion Knight and Aerith (poor Aerith used Seal Evil by accident
). We kept being bubbled so SB building was a bit harder. Also Cloud used finishing touch on Wave 3 without targeting so it went onto a near dead weak knight (who was already dead once my Paladin Force had hit anyway) rather than the strong one.
Ultimate Tromp KO'd four of us (including Cloud) but Beatrix has got imperil on so I spammed Paladin Force and Evanscene and won the day.
Seems a bit lame that one attack can just end the raid right there.
