Trial - 01 "Hallucination and Confusion"

Enemies

Team Recommendations

DPS units and a healer in slot 3.
- Avoid anyone that generates shields, like SR Morvay.

Stage Tips

You will be granted a shield on the first turn for 100% of your HP.
- Every 5 turns you will gain more of a shield.
Any attacks you do will damage your other party members next to them.
- Slot 1 damages slots 5/2.
- Slot 2 damages slots 1/3.
- Slot 3 damages slots 2/4.
- Slot 4 damages slots 3/5.
- Slot 5 damages slots 4/1.
Note that the enemies do damage to your HP regardless of the shield. The shield only protects you from damaging your own party members with the above!

On turn 5: Guard slots 1/2/4/5. Slot 3 should have a healer, and you should heal this turn.
- Do not cause any damage to the enemies or you will add to your shield, which you do not want to do.
End of turn 5: Slots 1/2 and 4/5 will be hit based on 225% of the current shield amount by the enemies. Make sure you have been depleting it by attacking on earlier turns or this could kill you!
End of turn 6: Both enemies will attack a single target with a strong attack.
The cycle will repeat again every 4 turns, so guard again on turn 9/13/etc.

Stage Tips

All party members will take 100% more turn-by-turn damage.
- Every turn you will take even more turn-by-turn damage.
- Guard stance will make you take 200% less turn-by-turn damage for a turn, so use it well!

You will mostly be hit by turn-by-turn damage (that lasts 4 turns) twice in a turn. Remember this can stack quickly with the above debuffs, so guard when needed.
- You can potentially guard every turn to minimize your damage until your Ultimates can be used, then go all out if it isn't a turn you need to do a particular thing on. Just have at least one saved for the turn you need it (6/13/20/etc).

End of turn 4: Everyone will be hit with a strong turn-by-turn attack.
- This repeats every 7 turns (11/18/etc).
On turn 5: Guard if you can't survive the previous attack.
- This repeats every 7 turns (12/19/etc).
End of turn 5: Everyone will be hit with a strong AoE attack.
- This repeats every 4 turns except for an early interruption (9/15/19/etc).
On turn 6: Use a single Ultimate on the master to cast sleep for 2 turns.
- Avoid basic attacks or your party will be hit with sleep for 2 turns instead.
- Also be careful to not wake the master up from sleep with any other damage!
- This repeats every 7 turns (13/20/etc).
End of turn 6: If you didn't put the master to sleep, your entire party will be wiped.

Team Recommendations

DPS and a good healer!
- Turn-by-turn damage is not recommended if you want to control your thresholds.
- You should avoid a guardian so that you don't trigger Kuya's skills incorrectly.

Stage Tips

You will want to focus on Olivine as Kuya cannot be damaged.
Pay attention to when Kuya presents choices! You will see several stacks of icons when it comes so you shouldn't miss it!
- These are threshold based so watch Olivine's HP!

End of turn 3: Kuya will use a strong AoE.
- This repeats every 2 turns, but may be interrupted by other skills.
End of turn 6: Kuya will use a strong attack.
- This repeats every 5 turns.
End of turn 7: Kuya will attack and warn you to not guard for the next 2 turns or his attack will increase.
- This repeats every 6 turns.
End of turn 8: Kuya will use an AoE that will guard break.
- This repeats every 6 turns.

At 75% HP, Kuya will ask his first question. Basic attack with everyone (or at least your last unit)!
At 50% HP, Kuya will ask the second question. Use Ultimates with everyone (or at least your last unit)!
At 25% HP, Kuya will ask the third question. You want to break Kuya's shield ASAP!
- Hitting Olivine with Basic attacks will make your whole party deal more basic and ultimate damage.
- Hitting Olivine with an Ultimate will make Kuya take 10% more damage.
- Use a combination of one of the above and your own damage to take out the shield.

Note that you can bypass any of the thresholds, but Kuya will ask the questions in order. You can kill Olivine before all 3 are asked if you are able!
- This is particularly useful if you want to avoid needing to break Kuya's shield, so try to take Olivine down completely from a bit above 25% HP if possible with full Ultimates.
