EX garuda question: suprana only strategy

[SarcasmMisser]

I've done Garuda in 5:20 with the 3 method strat, it doesn't even see a second cycle. All those things you listed are absolutely possible with a 3 way method the only difference is that it evenly distributes difficulty instead of just telling the mt and melee to deal with it. We're not even talking about speed kills but if you want e-peen wave over it I can too

The point of popularising a method is not about efficiency but ease and consistency, and this is way easier on the tanks and melee in exchange for getting the ranged to dodge something for once. It was my whole point that strats in the en speaking groups favor ranged too much, and remain popular regardless of merit vs others. You need to play in jp groups it will help you think outside the box.

Seriously what mp loss? You still dodge slipstream and chirada melts right after that, if not before. The add melt at the exact same rate meaning you also have less moves to deal with, I've seen no dps issues if people actually know how to play the strat.

can 3 tanks do this? and how much would the strategy change if they did?

[Iondera]

3 tanks can... however if you want 1 tank for each sister and 1 for Garuda just do the triangle strat with dps taking Chirada. It's really the safest way and can be done fast. How this works is MT takes Garuda NE, OT takes Suparna NW, and DPS/heals take Chirada SE during tornado phase, everything before is exactly the same as other strats. The only danger is DPS dying to downburst which can be negated by them stacking for it. 1 DPS eating downburst hits em for around 4k, and can be reduced all the way to around 200 depending on how many people in the SE get hit.

"Suprana Only" strategy, means the MT takes Suprana/Garuda, and OT tanks Chirada, and the DPS kills only Suprana, and leaves Chirada alive and burns Garuda. You take about 3.8k damage in the jump but can be done with SCH or decent HP people at full health.

Too many people answered incorrectly in this thread. This is the right answer TS.

Thank you thank you, this answered my confustion.

I am interested in the 3 pulls method, so can anyone explain the strategy (or a link)?

[ImDingDing]

Just tried this as a BLM. BLM in general can do this with really low ilv because of "Manaward". And "Apocatastasis" can help another low hp member. Really ez for low dps team.

I thought Apocatastasis was not wind damage? Does it actually work?
