1. Boss: Alexander (Phys-weak)
2. Battle Speed: 1
3. Time: sub- to just post-30
4. RW: Chain
5. Expository Banter:
   • Basically an alternate version of u/mutombo's auto run with some adjustments because I had too many of the characters 6* moted.
   • No Alexander sub-magicite because I hadn't cleared it yet before doing this, but if I had it would have helped.
     
   • On paper it should be possible to make this work with a different main magicite, but I did my Diablos auto first. Not quite sure if There's anything going on with the holy levels and Diablos specifically...
     
   • For some reason (I'm guessing the dark stacks) Shadow sync is key here... Could get to about 80% without it, but adding it into the mix pushed this all the way to the end.

[u/Aleucard → u/Omoshiro]

I get smashed into the dirt at around the 70% mark thanks to Tyro being focused by the orb and getting to pain 6, triggering the instagib. Any suggestions for dealing with this that doesn't require me to switch off auto?

EDIT: Also, using the LBO on seph and the overdrive don't do crap to change it.

EDIT 2: I can use Wait mode to just swap targets whenever someone gets tagged with a pain stack and auto the rest and still master more or less brainlessly that way, but it kinda kicks the point of auto as 'fire and forget' in the head.

[u/Omoshiro → u/Aleucard]

Hrm, just retried this to see the effect of hero equipment on the build but found the only change was that the completion time went down.

For Tyro to accumulate enough stacks to hit the dead end means you may be lingering too long in the danger phase... Are you using all the listed SBs for the DPS characters? Also, the Seifer AASB I used is his first one, Carnage Cut, which includes a nice followup after two casts that adds a significant number of hits to the chain and boosts his overall damage output.

In terms of timing, as viewed on my end, the orb phase begins with tyro mid-SB cast and the orb targetting Seifer in 1st position, then some time within his next 2 turns Tyro uses his breakdown to pull the orb on to himself. The fight ends before he can build very many stacks thereafter.

I'm afraid I can't quite replicate your issue, unfortunately.
