[FGO NA TA] Taira 8T Water Monster Crisis CQ: [High Difficulty] Close Servant Party
[Event] Water Monsters Crisis, The Floating Island of Innocents
"TA" stands for "Turn Attack", which basically refers to min-turning. For this challenge quest, the minimum turn count required to clear is 8T for ST, 7T for Bazett single core, 6T for AOE, 4T for Dual Core setup with Bazett and 3T for a Gong & Bazett setup.
This clear is heavily reliant on card draw RNG in order to generate enough stars and NP gauge to keep the fight going. The RNG requirement and timings can be briefly described as follow.
T1 to T3: Taira should ideally draw 2 cards whereby the best combination will be either QA or QQ. One of either Nero Bride or Koyanskaya should survive for two turns so that backline Skadi swaps in exactly on T4.
T4: This is the turn to use Skadi's NP and have the taunted Skadi die from Okuni's NP. Hence the most ideal card draw for Taira on this turn will be QQ followed by QA and Q, no other combination works. The rationale is for Taira to break bar here with just cards and generate enough stars and NP gauge for T5.
T5: Ideal card draw will be QA only (or QAB), this also guarantees that QA will be drawn for T6. Enemy will have to attack Taira once with at least a 2 hit attack to refill her gauge to 70%
T6: Taira will have to draw the A card with Mages of Flowers CC attached AND get hit by at least a 4 hit attack to refill NP gauge to max. If the Mages of Flowers CC is on CD or the the A card drawn does not have it attached, she will have to receive 6 hits minimum to refill NP gauge to full. T6 is also the turn where both Skadi's buffs overlap, which boosts the Q card's damage and refund making it possible to break Dioscuri's bar with AQ.
T7: Ideal card draw will be either QQ or QA to generate stars for T8. BA & BQ works as well but is less ideal while AA doesn't work due to lack of damage.
T8: BANP / BQNP / QQNP / AQNP
