00:00 - Fight vs. Galliard & Helena
05:34 - Team Setup/Grasta Setup
Old run & description: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9aEH-GgWbQ
Team: Melissa SA, Shion Alter, Myunfa Alter & Alma AS (main DPS) w/Helena SA & Yukino AS (grasta slaves)
Lance, Staff, Katana and/or Synth Human personalities needed for act point generation.
So, it seems that Galliard's Enhance Ability node in his SA actually messes up this strategy because his self taunt will last for 2 turns instead of 1, which means that Alma AS loses a boatload of damage on turn 4 as all of their attacks will then be aimed at Galliard and not Alma AS. So I needed to make a few adjustments.
The strategy is similar to the old one where I used Galliard, but this one uses Helena instead. I had to give her Taunt grasta to make this work. It seems that she needs to get stunned on turn 3 to lose her taunt status so Alma AS can get her High Alchemic state on turn 4 (that's why the old strat worked). Also, since I had to put Taunt grasta on Helena, I have to find some other character to hold the seventh proficiency debuff grasta; since Myunfa Alter has 1 of her own equipped already along with damage buffing grastas on to help Alma's damage, Shion Alter already has 3 equipped, Helena has 2 equipped, and Yukino AS is grasta slaving for Alma AS, the only other choice I had was to place it on Melissa, which meant lowering her damage. But that's fine since she's really only here to generate act points anyway.
