Getting LD proves to be the hardest task for me still. Got 4 FRs for Leonore but no LD/BT. So she is going to sit there for now.

I tried 4 teams, the other 3 worked but took way longer for me to upload. So I went with the Astos one.

Funny enough, this was the only one that I successfully won the FG race unintentionally. I brought Irvine and Astos just to deal with the 1 BRV mechanic without needing to cancel boss FT, but in this particular one it turned out to be not necessary. Still a clean one though, so here it is.

Boss: Jihl Nabaat and her behemoth pet
Force:
20/80%: 1m HP shield (that comes with BRV dmg reduction)

FA: AOE BRV+HP attack
It hurts but shouldn't kill you even if it breaks you.

FT: 10T
- All bosses gain 100% BRV dmg reduction

Weakness: (cancels FT)
- FA that deals Magic BRV dmg and heal (excluding effects from spheres etc)

No relevant HP threshold mecahnics.

General Approach and other notes:
Jihl Nabaat's attack may have a ST targeting, but the dmg is spread across all allies. So if you use a dodge character, that attack would still miss and trigger counters.
Also her attacks recover health scaling to the dmg dealt. So if the attack misses or deal 0 dmg, they get 0 HP back.

Behemoth usually cycle through a ST and an AOE attack.

So all in all, deploying a full evade and counter team isn't a bad idea. Typically only one attack (Behemoth's ST attack) is ST, the others all have AOE. I brought Cater/Kelger as the first clear. They functioned well and countered alot, it just took well too long to kill the bosses.

The HP shield + BRV dmg reduction (basically puts you at 1 BRV dmg) is the most problematic part. You can deal with it in several ways:
1. BRV gain/constant BRV reserve (Ursula BT/Rem BT/Leonore)
2. Additional BRV gain per hit (Selh'teus/FuSoYa etc)
3. Rainbow BRV/HP dmg (Irvine/Setzer/Neon/Quina)
4. Attacks that are independent to having BRV or BRV dmg (Astos/Leonore/Jessie BT)

It is mainly for reason number 4 that I brought Astos. You can see me bringing Ifrit and Neon LDCA, such that he can get to 100K+ Dark Matter during summon even though the boss should be resisting BRV dmg when their FG's up. Irvine is there mostly for destroying the shield and making sure he and Fujin are dealing dmg.

Well somehow I won the FG race, so that idea was not shown. Regardless, the end result is pretty much the same.

If you want to dispel their FT, I think Selh'teus is very good in this one. His BT stops Nabaat and the behemoth from attacking, so there is no incoming dmg and heals for them. His FR is magic based and overheals, so he can dispel it with ease. Leonore or Braska can also deal with it, but they have less collateral benefits.

Kelger and Cater are also very good here. Kelger's preemptive strike is ATK based, not BRV dmg based. So he will almost always destroy the HP shields and shave off all the BRV the boss currently has. Cater BT helps your entire team dodge all attacks, barring boss FA that guarantee hits. Most of her attacks also have massive BRV refund, so as long as you keep your BRV high, she can deal HP dmg without BRV dmg. If you need supplements, add those additional BRV gain based on hit calls.

If you don't have a way to dispel their FT, add Reno to delay yourself and wait it out. Your counter unit still deals dmg and it burns through their FT. Add crystal passives that slows your team for good measure as well.
