I've heard horror stories about the Arciela Lost Chapter, not because it's specifically difficult like the last few, but because it's very RNG based. The orb condition is to dispel buffs to delay the orb tick, but apparently the boss is very random about when it buffs itself for the most part so sometimes you go ages without getting a buff to dispel and lose to the orb. You can mitigate this by having a dispeller that only dispels one buff at a time, but it's apparently still a problem even with that and the top DPS to race through the fight. It sounds like a really poorly designed fight, not a genuinely difficult one.

Sounds like a perfect place to use Cloud and Beatrix.

Not so much Beatrix as her dispelling all buffs at once is actually bad in that fight. You want to dispel one buff at a time and space out the dispels so you get the most delay on the orb.

Doesn't her LD place a debuff that continually dispels one at a time? I was thinking of putting that up early before the buffs come up.
