Blue Chest Setups
Blue chests are awarded based on the amount of honors achieved in a raid maxing out at 99% chance at raid specific amount of honors: 330k in the case of Grimnir. They contain the most desirable drops in a raid such as the weapon drops. When farming a raid, this is the chest you want to aim for. The typical strategy is to deal the blue chest amount and then moving onto the next raid. Below is a list of strategies on how to effectively and quickly achieve blue chests.

Full Auto
Full autoing M2 raids is generally pretty easy once you have a developed M2 grid. Both class and character options are pretty free.
Coming up in November, a skip for M2 raids will be implemented. The following requirements are needed to be able to skip it.
- Solo the raid.
- Deal a certain amount of damage in 1 turn.
- Fight the raid 100 times to get a new trophy.
The following FA strategies are geared towards players who still need to unlock the skips.
Lumberjack
Lumberjack is one of the safest classes to full auto with and the buffs provided by it also helps weaker grids to reach damage cap. Characters can easily be upgraded to better and strong options.
Notes
- All characters can be easily replaced by others like Hekate
, Percival (Grand), yuisis-fire
, Wilnas, Nemone (Holiday)
, Elmott (SSR)
, or Anthuria
among many others. - Other options for support summon are Colossus Omega
or Shiva]
