Looks like Team Seymour's blasting off again!
Discord: discord.gg/fdSaJv4
Lowdown on the restrictions of this challenge:
Ability Nodes Only (ANO) - You can only activate ability nodes, no raising characters' stats in anyway.
Own Sphere Grid (OSG) - Each character may not leave their own section of the sphere grid. Note that these rules combined mean you can still use key spheres to e.g. teach Lulu Doublecast, Yuna Auto-Life etc.
No Summons (NS) - Self-explanatory, Aeons are OP meatshields
No Overdrives (NO) - Mainly for getting rid of Rikku's Mix, which is ludicrously OP
No Items (NI) - No using items, in or out of battle. Chakra Drops, Revival Beads, Megido Rocks, all those classic FF staples are banned (you can still customize equipment though)
Initial equipment:
Tidus: (First Strike) + (HP +5%, SOS Haste, Stoneproof)
Yuna: (Magic +10%, Magic +3%, One MP Cost) + (Water Ward, SOS Haste)
Rikku: (First Strike, Initiative) + (SOS Haste)
Lulu: (Magic Booster, Magic +10%, Magic +5%, One MP Cost) + (HP +5%, SOS Haste)
Auron: (Piercing, Strength +10%, Sensor) + (Zombieproof)
Alright, finally a proper boss again. Yuna has Auto-Life now, and not a moment too soon. First things first, poison him and have Auron Sentinel his attacks. With Zombieproof you don't have much to fear here. The pattern is Lance + Full Life x2, then Dispel + Cross Cleave. Auron can and should tank Cross Cleave so he doesn't lose his guarding stance, just make sure to Protect him after the Dispel. Yuna and Lulu will of course need Auto-Life.
When he falls below half HP (35000) he counters with Reflect and mixes things up. Now the pattern is: Flare (targets himself), Ready to Annihilate, Reflect, Total Annihilation. You can actually avoid this phase altogether by not attacking him directly once he gets near this point and just letting him die to poison damage, but that's lame right? You do need to be careful here though. Knock him under 35k with Lulu, but only once every character has Auto-Life applied. You must also make sure Yuna gets a turn right after Lulu to Dispel him (and any time he casts Reflect) otherwise he will kill one of your allies with Flare, and if he starts doing this you won't be able to keep up.
