In this segment, we get Dancer back, promptly renamed to Diva, since she is basically a female version of Mog. I also did some more money/rage grinding on the Veldt, and used the Muddle + Smoke Bomb trick to learn Water Rondo for her in Serpent Trench.

The IAF battles were quite easy and actually not worth showing this time around. I shuffled EXP around so that both Diva and Edge don't receive any, but since Diva joins at level 9 instead of 11, having a level 12 Beast, while preferred, simply wasn't possible. So I have to settle for level a level 13 Beast instead. I also thought about bringing Bella instead of Diva for Air Force, but Diva has better speed and can wear a Haste Ring, so she proves to be more useful. Besides, Bella will get her time to shine in the WoR once she gets her 255 defense setup.

The two boss fights here are like this: The first one is really easy, the second is brutal.

Gilgamesh IV & Chupon: This fight is simple; I have Beast use Chicken Lip rage here (50% Quake or Sand Storm) since neither target is floating, and Edge toss Water Skeans. We wait with Diva until Chupon enters the battle, then summon Valvalis to disable his spellcasting. Gilgamesh loves jumping on people, but this is a good thing since Chupon is weak to water and Water Skeans do nearly 2,000 damage when Gilgamesh is in the air. Don't dance with Diva as it's a bad idea, so just use her for throwing items around when needed. Overall, a simple fight.


Air Force: This fight is, without question, the hardest fight in the WoB, and it's probably one of the hardest fights in the entire challenge. It requires a lot of luck, thus I needed around 40+ attempts here because there is a high chance that you can get wiped out on the first round of attacks; Tripler kills one character, and Laser Gun has a 33% chance to use Atomic Ray on its first turn, which kills the entire party. In order to have any chance of surviving the first turn, Tripler needs to target either Edge or Diva, AND it has to miss. Otherwise, we instantly lose two characters, and chances of surviving at this point are slim to none. And what's worse is that Air Force uses Tripler every turn, meaning someone dies everytime its cast (unless it miraculously misses).

After the first round of attacks, we need to have Beast rage Gold Bear (50% Gouge or Force Field) for the Force Field spell. We need the first Force Field to nullify either fire or lightning, preferably the former. Fortunately, fire was indeed nullified first, rendering Atomic Ray harmless, and it also nullifies one-third of the Tripler spell. Staying alive gets a bit easier once fire is nulled, but we still need to deal with Tek Laser and Tripler. Since Tek Laser instakills Edge and seriously hurts Diva, we need to nullify lightning next, and since Tripler is a tri-elemental spell (fire, lightning & ice), we also need to nullify ice at some point. Unfortunately, ice took a while to get nulled, and water was nulled in the process, meaning Edge is stuck using Shurikens basically.

Once fire, ice and lightning are all nullified, the battle is basically won. It's now safe for Diva to dance, and we switch over to Intangir rage (50% Wish or Meteo). Wish is a really good spell that sets a random positive status effect on everyone (including Life 3) and Meteo is the best source of damage I have that isn't elemental. We still need to try and keep everyone's HP up because of Missile Bay's Missile and Launcher attacks; unfortunately, seizure status eventually killed both Diva and Edge, leaving Beast to solo the boss in rage mode. But everything is nullified, so there is nothing to worry about; we just wait until Meteo kills him at this point.
