Time to share strategies: Garuda

[Zdenka]

WAR 3x BLM 3x BRD WHM


Left Rock, BRD Acc Song, all 3 BLM's nuke down to nearly 0 MP as fast as possible, this should get her to ~63% right about during the 2nd normal plumes. BRD then MP song's them and they rest back up to full.

MT Tanks midwall, and never moves her allowing her to run back there. The 2 DPS WAR should need assistance from the BRD for plumes only during AF plumes by readying thier AoE's.

As soon as the 3rd plumes pop all BRD swaps to Acc song, BLM nuke as hard as they can, if done right (with Fire's and Blizzards) BLM should go OOM for Convert -> Necro -> Burst about 10s before Astral Flow. BRD does SVMP Song before/during Astral Flow.

Depending how good your BLM's are Garuda should be between 20-40%, which skips P2.

As soon as AF is done each WAR Collusions each BLM in preparation for clones, if Garuda stays in center clones everyone runs to her butt and uses Flare, with MT WAR building threat on Magic clone, and a DPS WAR building on Meele clone. After flare is done all 3 BLM do Thunder-Thundara and this kills Magic Clone and then continue to either push DPS or rest some MP. If your WAR DPS has solid threat on 2nd clone your BRD "should" be able to go all out (don't Wide Volley incase its Razor phase, but you can RoD since it will be up again) and burst it down fairly quickly.

If you are BRD you want to stay near 3000 TP incase its Razors', and WAR's want to save Steel Cyclones.

If its other clones after that, run to the side, tanks pick up, and BLM's just kill Garuda (she should be 15% or less). (Above strategy works if its side clones, so either way its really the same).

If its Razors everyone gather up on her fast in the save zone while the 3 WAR's and BRD rotate AoE's. BLM job is to just keep up behind Garuda until plumes are dead, then you can nuke so you don't get left behind to get imploded.

Same Razor strat works if they are first. Regardless you should be able to burn her on the 2nd P3 swap if your DPS is high enough. This strategy is designed with Speed/NoDeaths in mind for Relic's so it really assumes your 3x BLM know how to do high DPS. If your BLM's are low DPS you have a larger chance of someone getting killed or even wiping.
