Alexiel Anima

Mat for awakenings and for converting to Shiva Omega Anima.

Shiva Omega Anima

Highly useful mat for uncapping a large amount of weapons, summons, and characters.

Nibelung Horn

Copies:

Source:

Charge Attack

Lagulf	Massive Earth damage to a foe. (All allies gain DEF Up.)

Skills

Lifetree’s Stamina	Medium boost to earth allies’ ATK based on how high HP is
Lifetree’s Verity II	Big boost to earth allies’ critical hit rate

A strong Stamina mod.
Caim grids will rarely use 1 for the stamina mod for FA or hard content..
Crit component is generally ignored since there is no way to hit 100% crit in Yggy Caim.

Nibelung Klinge

Copies:

1-2

Source:

Charge Attack

Lagulf	Massive Earth damage to a foe. (All allies gain DEF Up.)

Skills

Lifetree’s Might II	Big boost to earth allies’ ATK
Lifetree’s Truce	Small boost to earth allies’ max HP / Slight chance to dodge and counter (Small DMG)

One of the main HP options for Magna 2 grids.
Generally worse than Medusa Harp
Only 1 copy is needed for use in Caim grids.

Godsworn Edge

Copies:

Source:

Charge Attack

Fiendsbane Realm	Massive earth DMG to a foe (300% Bonus Earth damage (Damage cap: ~630,000).) Additional effect at 4★:

Skills

Lifetree’s Trium III	Big boost to earth allies’ multiattack rate
Lifetree’s Enmity	Small boost to earth allies’ ATK based on how low HP is

Decent hard content weapon.
Enmity and DATA can be a good help for solos.
Even at 0* is it a solid otk weapon with 20% party .attack and a bonus nuke on ougi.
No where near as useful as it used to be.

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: 280k in the case of Alexiel. 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.

2. Relic Buster , 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.)

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

All characters can be subbed out for characters with Unworldly ougis or skill nukes after ougi.
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.

    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%.
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.
    All Wind allies gain Drain (Healing cap: 1000, 5T), Debuff Resistance Boosted (100%, 5T), Bonus Wind DMG (20%, 5T), Triple Attack Rate Boosted (50%, 5T), and DMG Cap Boosted (15%, 5T).

    (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

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.
