    If you're going with MT pulling one of the sisters, you should burn Suparna, not Chirada, simply because with Suparna down the MT can do damage to Garuda while Chirada is being killed. Also, MT doesn't get double wheeled so they take less burst. By NOT doing burst damage to Chirada, Garuda and Suparna also don't jump, which allows for more DPS time on them.

    Killing Chirada first, with MT tanking Suparna, probably is the most inefficient and risky strategy there is for the fight.

    This is my preferred strategy. If it's all ranged, it's easy. If there is a melee+3 ranged dps, I'll try to get the melee to LB Suparna right after she drops, then hop to Chirada while the ranged and I finish off Suparna.

    Not if your group is melee heavy. Chirada doesnt wheel and DPS can burn her down without downtime.

    Personally, I don't see the triangle tactic being any more efficient than the "One tank grabs Garuda and Suparna and Cooldowns his way through the two wheels." None of the Boss(es) other skills hurt the tank in any way.. SS can be avoided, and otherwise the damage can be compared to a wet noodle whipping on plate armor.

    Benefits of the tactic above:
    - Melee friendly
    - Responsibility relies on 2 tanks, compared to 6 people.. Less chances of error.
    - Healer friendly because you only have 2 targets to heal copared to three. (Basically only one, Chirada tank is basically "safe" the whole time, watch Cyrius' HP in the fight)

    As I said, triangle tactic doesnt have any benefit except for taking responsibility off the tanks. I prefer having an extra job I can handle so I wont get bored over giving responsibility to the whole party.. Its simply more efficient making it as easy for as many people in the group as possible.
