DFFOO [JP][Green Crystal Quest] Break break break with Yda, Iris and Dorgann and a bit of A3 trial
11Just a casual green crystal run. Haven't played with the Dorgann Iris combo for a long time, and this quest happens to have mechanics that is VERY suitable for this comp (which happen to be all green crystals as well), especially now that Yda is ready to go. So I thought it would give Yda + Iris/Dorgann a go.
This stage is very suitable for several reasons:
1. Boss goes to high DEF mode (because this was Locke FR's stage), Iris nullifies this
2. Boss gets 100K+ BRV gain, so Iris BT nullifies it as well
3. Boss spams HP attacks later, so you want to push them away
4. Boss puts shields, so off-turn attack from Dorgann can eat them
5. Boss regain BRV at thresholds, as Iris BT puts it to 0, off-turn triggers from Dorgann would break them again, causing even more Dorgann off-turns. You can trigger a domino of Dorgann Image Slashes.
Number 5 is particularly enjoyable to pull off. My highest domino was 4, but at that point it would just be pure luck, due to the fact that the HP bonus is already sky high and Yda would be shredding through their HP bars.
On top of this, launching with Iris - Dorgann combo automatically resets the current target to 0 BRV even before their next turn. So naturally Dorgann can already break twice at a time.
Yda LD also comes in clutch just before the BT phase starts. Her LD delays her such that the other two can slip in and build up the bonus. It also gives her an extra use on S1 right off the back, so with U6 (LD+2, 20% cap up) active and the boss being squishy, I can sky using EX with a lower cap and focus on ST attacks. The ST push also contributes to setting up more breaks due to point number 5.
Crystal Passive A3
I also tried using the crystal passive that gives you 10% while making you lose 2T on buff duration each time you move. Honestly with this comp it is not that bad. Iris just needs her LD buff and Dorgann needs his S2. Yda is self-sufficient even without BT phase. I used a little Sazh CA trickery to extend Dorgann's buff by 1T, and it seems quite manageable.
I must say I have a lot of fun playing and thinking about comps for Yda. I am not really playing her the Ydaroth way, and that's mostly because it just extend the runtime with no good reason when the bosses (even at Lv.3) cannot handle Yda's DPS.
