Zenos Tower Event: Enemy List/Setups/Builds Guide

Greetings ! In this tower event, we will be facing Zenos as the prime boss.
There'll be multiple mechanics in this tower event that I will go over (and later edit other information for confirmation)
that will exclusive for this tower event.
Banlist:
+Supremes/Skins
+Legend Jobs
+Ashe - FFXII banner
+2017 Legendary Banner set
I usually ban R & R, but there's no point in doing so due to almost half of the enemy lineups are immune to sleep especially the core boss himself is immune to it.

  Light: Close attack; Avoid by using healer role job
  Fire: Overall 3-hit atk; Avoid by using defender role job
  Dark: Overall Attack; Yellow Gauge clears and opens Red Gauge; Powerful and Unavoidable; use breaker role job to break him
• The Mobius Gauge increases much more in this tower event.
• Zenos will have his 2nd phase once he falls below 50% HP, seen in MP.
• Zenos will inflict a weaken debuff on you if he successfully with any of his element attacks on another role job.

Notes: Against Zenos, I damage him as much as possible once my Mobius Gauge triggers so then I use Sword Saint to tank him and recover my buffs/debuffs to be used against him.
Once after I gain my buffs/debuffs, I then switch back to the sub deck and nuke unbroken.
For Phase 2, I switch to tank to regain my debuffs for the turn after to deal with Zenos.

Against Alexander and the Hounds, I tank fenrir to switch to main deck to takedown the hounds to then have my sub deck gradually break Alexander and take him.
Against Zenos, I use my mobius zone and quickens to then nuke unbroken while doing break damage after mobius zone. I use my substrike to inflict debarrier on Zenos phase 2 to then finish him off.

Kills 154: https://youtu.be/kZr2H9jN7y4
Notes: Against Marilith, I deal with her first to then deal with Dulluhan due to being faster and having higher critical resist.
Against Belias, I nuke him and Ogre unbroken, but I end up having to job change constantly to keep my mobius gauge from getting full.
Against Zenos, I went to nuke at the end of turn 1. Phase 2, I had to tank him while my debuffs were still cooldown for 1 turn. The turn after, this is where he prepares 'art of the sword' and then I used my debuffs + quickens to then finish him off.

Kills 155: https://youtu.be/t9YW3qihPvY
Notes: Against the Takshakas, I got rid of Vali to then focus tanking the Takshakas with the sub deck. I break them to then optimize damage with the sub deck to then nuke unbroken and prioritize in getting rid of the one immune to stun.
Against Bahamut, I get their yellow gauges with both to then use the main deck in getting rid of Enlil first.
Against Zenos, I break and use all the buffs/debuffs while reserving quickens to then nuke Zenos broken to then use quicken and then ultimate against him to then ulti-charge afterwards. The turn after, I then break him to then take off his HP for phase 2. I kill the swords to then remain as main deck to then inflict zenos with the debuffs after he uses storm, swell, sword to then tank until last action and then quicken myself and do a much break as possible the same turn and activate mobius zone. I nuke unbroken to put in as much damage as possible to then build up a 2nd ultimate which I then break him and finish him.

Kills 156: https://youtu.be/V_g5qT6764Y
Notes: Against the Dragons, I just stun/slow & debuff them to then nuke unbroken.
Against Adrammelech, I tank them by using my sub deck's fire drives for my tank while wind drives from my force card. I debuff and get rid of Adrammelech first. I deal with chocobo eater by switching back and forth between jobs to eventually take hm down.
Against Zenos, when my Mobius Zone kicked, I nuke as much as I can before I then switch to tank for a turn. I let him hit me with Unmoving Troika so I then switch to sub deck to nuke unbroken and also nuke the swords. I switch to main deck once phase 2 begins so that I tank for a turn. I finish Zenos the turn after.

#Conclusion
Feel free to discuss what ever you want about this tower event or Mobius in general.
I will have records put out as I climb, but this time, I will edit the decklists and add videos there if
anything changes within my setups.
I will edit anything within the thread based on what I come across in this tower event (like Zenos mechanics etc).
For now, Bye.
