A Little Tip for WARs When Doing Brayflox (Hard) Runs

The Holmgang trick doesn't work on the final boss. I tried it last night when it started to dash, and it is immune.

Same thing happens with any enemy that becomes untargetable at some point, they are removed from the field, in a sense.

Holmgang interrupting the charge move sounds pretty nice there, making the fight less annoying.

And when it comes to those bosses, should just swap to full dps jewellery and go out of Defiance once solid hate has been reached.

Holmgang makes a world of difference. Not only do you reduce the overall damage your party takes, you don't have to chase after the boss if it decides to target someone far away.

Switching to DPS accessories seems a little risky to me on the first boss since I have come up against situations where one of the courels wasn't killed due to the situation where we had to lock it out. I'd keep the tank accessories on for that boss but switch to DPS for the other two. Now, if only I had myth to spare...grinding for two Animus weapons is a big chore.

What about before it tries to dash, like one auto-attack after Bombardment? Is it not possible to delay it from sprinting around for at least six seconds?

I wouldn't spend myth on DPS accessories. Instead, spend gil on i70 crafted gear and 5x meld it. Gryphonskin or Rose Gold. If melded properly, you will end up with 10 Vit/9 Str per piece, plus more secondary stats than on an i90 accessory. Compare that to 15 Vit *or* 13 Str on a myth piece. Or put another way 2x i70 penta-meld > 1x i90 fending accessory + 1x i90 Str accessory. If you do 5 slots, then lose 25 Vit to gain 45 Str (compared to i90 tank accessories). Totally worth it >.<

This is why they didn't include i90 jewelry in the last round of crafting recipes: it was too good at i70.
