IMPORTANT: READ THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION

Brother summon, Amidatelion LD friend

Note: All 3 characters are EX+3LB with their bloom passives. Noctis has his BT, LD, his enhancement boards, and the following spheres - his own and Irvine (RF) sphere. PCecil has his enhancement boards and his own sphere. Fran has her sphere and Irvine's sphere.

I have done some research prior to this fight and this was known as one of the bullshit CHAOS challenges other the infamous one which you guys would have guessed already. I highly doubt it is possible to complete the Challenge Quest without Noctis LD since the boss is pretty tanky and very frustrating mechanics.

I could have done the main CHAOS without using the Amidatelion friend but I screw up on my rotations and I want to get the challenge to be done and dusted with.

Boss mechanics and moveset explanations

- Zantetsuken - The Odin's recast ability. It is instant death for any broken character and it bypasses the KO immunity or any character's last stand passive. The only way to guard against this attack is avoid being broken. After using it, it will gain the Critical Sword buff and gains the Mounted Unity stance.

- Mounted Unity stance - It will triggered after the 2nd Zantetsuken use. You will see a big purple aura emitting surrounding Odin. During this mode, Odin will counter any attacks with Counter Vertical Slice (high turn rate upon break). It can't be delayed by normal breaks. It is due to the high turn rate ability where you can see 2 Odin's turn in succession. To break up the gimmick, you need to launch it. Usually, if it has sufficient BRV due to counters, it will be sprung out a sudden Stab (single target HP) to kill off the targeted unit.

- Doppelhau - A single target BRV attack that guarantees Break

- Doppelrundtstreich - BRV attack, high turn rate

- Gungnir/+ - AOE magic BRV, Sets party's BRV to zero. Cast Doom on all allies (guaranteed debuff) with 2T effect.

The rotations are after Zantetsuken are usually:-

1st Zantetsuken Phase -
Zantetsuken (recast): Doppelhau: Gungnir: Doppelrundtstreich: Zantetsuken

2nd Zantetsuken onwards -
Zantetsuken (recast): Mounted Unity: Vertical Slice + Gungnir+: Doppelrundtstreich: repeat

Depending on the power of your squad, you will probably need to survive between 4-5 Zantetsuken phases.

Zantetsuken
Among the trio, PCecil's Light Slash provides a BRV battery for the entire party. With Fran's debuff, 10k BRV will be sufficient to withstand the BRV break. Do note that it won't trigger an HP attack unless one party member is broken.

Countering the Mounted Unity stance
Always ensure that Noctis's S1 (Shooting Star+) is available and he has a turn after the boss uses Zantetsuken. Without using the launch, you won't break the annoying Counter Vertical Slice stance. I have screwed up midway in the battle and lucky Fran evades that Stab attack. *_*

Counter Gungnir's Doom mechanic
This is the tricky part that requires you to plan your order well. It has 2 turn debuff. AA can help you skip the debuff's turn and break on the next turn. I will usually try to get Noctis to get his EX up before Odin uses Gungnir. The next turn will be his LD use which will always shift his turn before Odin could act. Noctis's LD grants the party 2T Warpstep buff. So have them spam their skills (not waste their turns when it is active with AA).
With your summon, Noctis 3 LD (4 LD use if you have his BURST), you will be fine to act before Odin could act.

Hopefully, the above tips above help you a lot. Okay. I will be farming my boards.
