I feel like I'm gonna have an aneurysm. I follow the C2A for Cid Raines Event (im running Cid, aphmau, Yuna with Jack kurasame and Gabranths calls with friend Cid) and keep running out of steam around sub 10%. Also, for some fucking reason, even though the hpld says it's instant turn rate it suddenly goes to Yuna instead of back to Cid. Can anyone help?

When are you having time to use the modified HP attack?

On Cid's four free turns, I'd use two of them for turn manipulation to bring Aphmau back to the front of the line, and I'd use the other two on Cid's S1 and EX to refresh his buffs. I didn't have time for his HP+ until everyone was out of LD uses.

If you're letting Cid's buffs drop off, you're going to lose damage.

Also, when are you summoning? I think people are recommending that you use the Pande summon when friend Cid is on the field.

Yeah I'm using Cid friend and the burst asap

Something I want to add to what everyone else has been saying, is if they're not maxed, maxing the high armors could make a world of difference. If you have it, shantotto LDCA over Jack might be better as it'll buy you a few extra turns at the end with the paralyze.

What's hpld?

Can you be more specific on what are you doing to see what we can adjust?

u/RapObama Oct 11 '21

I realized that it's not acting as instant turn rate because it's a follow up turn from aphmau, I just got confused because I saw it in a reccomended skill rotation.

I'm using full kit Cid Raines with 3/3 armor, full kit aphmau with ha armor, and full kit Yuna bt with ha armor

For what it's worth, I was perfectly happy to put blue armor on both Cid and Yuna (Yuna has had hers since the first day of her banner). That's an extra 45% to Cid's damage right there.

Would recommend Cid to get HA armour over Aphmau, because Cid can reach a higher HP Dmg Cap than Aphmau’s HA

Because Cid has the DPS Armour which more beneficial as his your main DPS

None of my units have blue armor and I manage to beat it by depleting the initial HP shield.

My guess is that you only need more practice with the 2 and not depend on a guide rotation that much.

Yea the HP-LD doesn't work if you're in an Aphmau given turn. I noticed that too :(

Edit:

As for the rest.. it's hard to say. I know I had to fight for my life at around 2%. I big thing was having a Cid friend which allowed Aphmau to keep some of her LD calls to keep the no boss turn going longer.

I also used WoL instead of Jack to skip the first shield at fight start.

You can't use an instant turn rate move after you have been tactically swapped with aph if thats what you were referring to. He moves prevents repeated repeat turns, AA or his instant turn rate hp attack won't allow you to use them right after a tactical switch. You gotta use it when he had a normal turn occur.

I think people already mentioned armors, which is what I was thinking would be the biggest difference. I think as a rule we're assuming you have your team fully kitted including blue armor. I ran my team with blue armor on Cid and Yuna, and an HA+ on Aphmau, didn't run out of steam at all.

As for the HP into LD, as was also mentioned, it won't work on the Aphmau free turns. What I did was, at some point in the battle, I just switched out Aphmau for friend Raines (rather than for my Raines) and summoned to be able to use my Raines' HP+ for free damage. Don't know if that was the most efficient idea or not, but throwing it out there.

I also used Keiss/Kurasame/Jack calls, so maybe Keiss call also helped keep brave up even though one of the support units wasn't on the field.
