Explanation of Pick 13 challenge: arthellinus.com/final-fantasy-xiii-trilogy/lr-ng-plus-dash/pick-13
To summarize, I am fighting Aeronite during a challenge run in which I may only use 9 specific garbs (Primavera, Black Mage, Dangerous Blossom, Intruder, Heartstealer, Dark Knight, Ultimatus, Nightmare, and Purple Lightning) and equip 4 unlocked abilities in battle ("Pick 13" = 9 + 4).
STRATEGY OVERVIEW
In order to stagger with Purple Lightning's abilities Flame and Flood, which expose me to physical attacks, I need a double immunity setup as shown here. Light Slash helps to maintain stagger. I use Intruder to guard-cancel casting recovery; by the rules of the challenge, I would not have room to equip an unlocked guard, as I need Deprotect, Imperil, and Light Slash for damage-dealing, as well as Thundara for staggering. I must use Bravery Potions instead of Hero's Potions, because I have to maintain Shell and Enfire at all times during the damage phase, and applying all four buffs of a Hero's Potion on top would exceed the five-buff maximum.
