My first attempt with using the "JP" triangle strategy for Garuda Ex!

[Taika]

We've always had OT pulling Chirada (which we kill first) while MT pulls Suparna. Chirada dies when Garuda and Suparna land from their jump and that's when everyone moves to kill Suparna. During tornados we have MT and OT on opposite sides of area, healers and ranged DDs split in the two free slots (melees have to move from one clone to another).

Is there any reason not to do it like this? I haven't really considered any other strategies as this works well for us.

What is the "normal strategy" anyway? Is it what my group does or something else?

If you want to maximize speed, you should kill Suparna first to drop Garuda's shield. If you want to maximize safety, triangle is most optimal with least amount of burst incoming damage. If you want to focus on simplicity, you stack ranged DPS in which case everything about the fight becomes trivial and tanks can pull whatever they prefer.


Normal strategy for most English speakers is considered the one where MT pulls one of the sisters.
