Impressive !
I myself have been messing around with other jobs for this node.
Spellsword definitely makes a significant difference for breaking, but it's definitely possible with other jobs, just has to be done differently and also just as fast because of that countdown (which makes this the toughest part of the battle).

Spellsword is nutty. Part of this was me wanting to try it out with my newly 5-stared gunblade and it's excellent.
If you figure out another meme accessible setup that works I'd love to see it. Thanks, dude.
1
Good Job dude
2
Thank you sir. Cheers.

Thanks again for the lead. I mostly followed the spirit of this, but I did it with the following
Seph skin + Auron: Kain Lance, Xezat, Pixie, HG, Omega Weapon Cloud Skin + Shorn: Gunblade, Soldieress, Emerald Weapon, LDL, Tidus & Yuna
Reminder: any orb generator for an element your job doesn't have will default to whatever force is active (i.e. Pixie in main deck and Emerald in subdeck. Keep 3 prismatic orbs ready to activate your orb generation). Maybe someday I'll get Sapphire weapon.
2
Nice! I dig the substitute to take advantage of orb generation and force mechanics. That's really cool.
2
wow thanks for this. :)

Lol this is Ethical
well done senpai

I don't have Shron One.... help
1
Skyseer/ el nino might do it
1
Eh, I have none of the ex jobs honestly.
1
I dont have that water attack card đ
1
Soldieress is available in the ability shop. You can go grab it if you haven't.
3
I used pretty similar setup with Shorn One, Gunblade and Soldieress, tho with Cloud skin.
1
Grats. Did u use the same cards setup for shorn? I dont have sapphire weap so trying to see what i can swap in... do have xezat though.
1
Nah, I don't have any of the weapon/primal boon cards. Try to activate Mobius Zone close to that point and spam Soldieress or any other decent multihit water card on Ifrit.
1
Thanks dude, that will help alot :)
1
Happy to show. Cheers.

I wonder if HoF Santa LucĂa could work, she's tanky and good Lulu spammer. Maybe paired with Glam Vamp?
1
That sounds like a pretty fun try. Maybe paired with someone who breaks better for first phase though?
2
Tried with Shorn One with Xezat and an almost 5* Laevateinn and didn't worked :-( I'm not dealing enough damage on the second phase, not sure why.
1
Shorn One and? Santa? What's the total setup? I'll give it some thought.
1
Santa as a hybrid tank-nuker : Lulu, sapphire, Pollensalta, Hell's Gate. All water EE. Sventovit. Using her Ultimate to stun-lock and bio.
SO to break on phase one like you suggested: Xezat, Sapphire, Aerith, and Soldieress. Laevateinn. Mostly water EE + ult charge CP.
But it didn't work I ate Hell Fire and died, I think Santa LucĂa should be paneled with fire resist to take more hits and even so, I can't seem to deal enough damage once Ifrit gets it's break immunity.
Can't get it right :-(
1
Lulu isn't a particularly good dps card with the lack of damage passives. It's only good in S1 because damage is easy in S1 and the only strength of Lulu is her multihit numbers. You won't be hitting damage cap with 4 hit cards in S2, so Lulu's multihit is not helpful here.
1
Your problem here is that Xezat relies on Painful Break to deal damage. My solution was to have my defender have Soldieress. Xezat on Shorn One got me through the first phase, and my defender job soaked damage while dealing steady damage. My defender of choice was Seph!Auron with only Fire and Dark Resistance CPs.
1
I though about using her too. Give a try and share with us your luck.
2
No good, she can't take extreme hell fire, even with curse on. And I can't panel her with resist fire cos I need the water EE to do some damage.
1
i upped a second sapphire weapon too only for this encounter. Never used since.
1
Different copies with different fractals are great in different situations. Pretty ability ticket heavy but definitely worth imo

Cheese n' rice, im stuck on Brink 4
1
I think ifrit on brink 4 is unbreakable. I just passed using ex mage bombarding with lulu FFX
3
yeah i used a deck similar to the one here with Shorn One, put HP up and Resist Fire and got it it 2nd or 3rd try, i was trying with Ace Striker but that got me nowhere
1
Appreciate it. Granted what I did was similar (used skins due to being a scrub) but the builds youâve provided helped me beat it.
1
Awesome! Glad to hear it.
2
Does Ifrit gain debuff immunity after he gains perfect defense? If not, then I might need to stagger my Bismarck so it will be used only when he becomes break immune.
1
I think the perfect defense will wipe any existing debuffs, and then he gains immunity for 99 turns. So yeah, I think the best way to go about it is to only apply debuffs during the tank and spank phase.
1
Itâs a long fight. How many fight do we have to take to get a true supreme? I plan to get Shiva.
1
You won't be able to grind this fight for cores, unfortunately. It's just a one-time thing. You'll need a whopping 20k cores to get the full version, which is something I'm just not okay with lol.
For Shiva though... maybe. Minwu continues to elude me.
1
My stupid question. I havenât try this area yet, so how can we get cores?
1
Oh, okay. Yeah, no worries. You can get cores from one of four nodes in the area on repeat, and as first time clears from the challenge nodes. You can find the details here. Just scroll down to the "Mythic Tablet area" section.
1
Thanks for the info, very useful. Canât wait for Shiva to come. Hopefully in March.
1
I have xezat, WoL, LoH, and all skins and I can't even do that :(
I may copy your deck to achieve this ...
Well done sir, you're the best !

Hey you guys, hope you enjoy the video. I just wanted to demonstrate that the new challenge node available in The Rift can be completed by even the supremeless and skinless player; everyone does receive a free skin at the start of season 2, but I decided that was off-limits too.
Of course, jobs are very important; I tried a few and found that Shorn One has the easiest time breaking with his exploit weakness focused kit, which makes the first phase rather easy. Tanks are more flexible: Legendary Guardian, Eorzean Paladin, and Sword Saint should all do the trick, since they can each reach max resistance with at least one element and get high resistances with the other (fire / dark in Ifrit's case), and they all have high defense + steelguard. Edit: In EP's case, I'd make sure to bring a secondary job that can drive fire
In case anyone is wondering, the weapon and CP setup is available in the youtube description.
Edit 2: upon further consideration, I'm an idiot. Jetstunner was made for this node. She should be an excellent tank.
Thanks so much! I had a hard time finding how to beat this node. Luckily I have all the jobs and weapons you mentioned. Will take a look. :)
Noob question (as I only got the three tickets): where is this?Also, yes, Jet Stunner for the win in here. Both Fire and Dark Drives, with access to Water AND a limited Water attack card.EDIT: NVM. Turns out I haven't finished the first Core Area so I can't see it.
Her stats tho...and i dont have a decent weapon for her...im still trying with guardian...i keep getting wiped out right after his countdown...welp!
