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: 440k in the case of Bennu. 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.

Beginner

These setups are oriented towards beginner players.

Relic Buster

Relic Buster is the easiest way to achieve a blue chest. Limit Burst All allies gain Charge Bar, C.A. DMG Boosted (1 time), and C.A. DMG Cap Boosted (1 time) based on number of Machine Cell.
(Consumes all Machine Cell.) makes it simple to to perform a teamwide charge attack burst. It also supports a wide variety of characters and is very flexible grid wise. Weaker grids and characters may need to press additional buttons to reach the desired damage.

  (Consumes all Machine Cell.)

Notes

All characters can be subbed out for characters with Unworldly ougis or skill nukes after ougi.
Huanglong support also works.
Selene (Wind) is the best MH for this for it’s strong Charge Attack and not needing to press RB1 on turn 2.

Chrysaor

Chrysaor with windhose is a classic way of getting MC and the entire party to 100% charge. This still winds up as a great option for ougi setups thanks to Dual Arts Gain C.A. Reactivation (2T).
(Can only be used when an auxiliary weapon is equipped.) allowing for 5 ougis in one turn.

Notes

With the eternal wonder, Wasserspeier (Wind) can be used as MH for extra skill nukes.

Advanced

These setups are oriented towards players with stronger grids and characters.

Apsaras

The Chain of Falsehood grants teamwide double strike on charge attack. This allows for very quick and easy damage. While these setups are faster thanks to not having to deal with ougi lockout, they are more restricted character wise requiring characters with guaranteed triple attacks to pull off.

    From 3rd cast onward: Loop (6T) also boosts damage cap by 10%.
Grimnir can be subbed for another GTA character like Freyr or Yodarha (Wind).

MVP Setups

MVP chests are awarded to the player with the most honors in a raid as well as a possibility for other top scorers. While they have an additional weapon drop chance, it is advised to not aim for these especially as a a beginner due to the time it takes. However, if the raid is slow, it helps to join as higher damage output team so the raid can die.

Luchador

This strategy takes advantage of the overhwhelming strength of Narmaya (Grand) using her as the sole attacker. Lucha’s Tag Team All allies instantly perform a normal attack without using up a turn. pairs great with her high powered assassin autos.

Notes

Standard 1 turn lucha burst.
Falsehood is best key for opus but others can be used if needed.
Niyon can be substituted for:
- Anila (Summer)
  - T1: Grant an ally Bonus Superior Elemental DMG (30%, 3T) and Dodge All 1 (1 times). =>
- Vania (Yukata)
  - T1: Fill 3 charge diamonds on a foe.

    (Effect specs increase for 3 turns, then decay until end.)
    Level 100:
    Loop (6T) now has maximum effectiveness for all 6 turns and can’t be removed.
    From 2nd cast onward: Loop (6T) also boosts critical hit rate (50% chance of dealing 20% more damage.).
    From 3rd cast onward: Loop (6T) also boosts damage cap by 10%.
S.Korwa can be very suboptimially subbed with:
- Arriet
  - T1: 1-turn cut to a Wind ally’s skill cooldowns and grant Double Strike (1T). =>

No Bubs Lucha

An alternative variant without Bubs. Much lower damage as a result. However, more grid space is opened up thanks to double Tiamat running less crit components which can help make up a bit of the gap.

Notes

Astral from the first setup can be replaced with another EX source or an Ancient Nalakuvara but requires putting auto cap on opus.

Qilin Luchador

The last lucha setup we will cover is using a support qilin to go through two rounds of Naru buffing and tag team. Generally overkill for most raids but is an option especially if the raid is really slow.

Full Auto

Players can also choose to full auto their own host. While it is slower than blue chesting, it is an easy way to get another drop chance with minimal effort. The following strategies focus on soloing the raid which is particularly helpful for slow periods. But it is strongly reccomended to call up backup request after securing the blue chest to speed up the clear.

Chaos Ruler

Chaos Ruler is a helpful early class for stalling Bennu’s harder hitting specials. It also provides a source of healing which is very helpful

Relic Buster

[[[m}relic buster]]] offers a good balance of attack and defense making it a great option for full auto. Paired with transcended Niyon, you can deal with the frequent triggers a lot easier.
