Anyone have any experience with him leveling up before even being touched? Does damage threshold apply to adds as well, perhaps?

It levels for every add killed.

Croctastrophe would occasionally wreck shop under boss's 25% threshold even with Indi-Barrier and only one level up per fight. Main boss seems to get improved attack power at lower HP? RDM landed sleeps but it was slower that way.

In VD If you aren't killing fast enough for edict lock and going safe and slow way then pt would need at least wilt, just indi barrier isn't enough IMO.

If that isn't enough then add entrust barrier, any attack- debuffs or even bio2 and spam cure 5 cureskin on more fragile DDs.

Eh, it's a trashbuscade but you've got 3 years of powercreep all tp sets have 50dt and radickulous meva now.

Worth noting it'll be all but impossible not to level up the bossman, but it shouldn't matter due to the previous sentence.

Time to bust out the Ukon/Farsha/Vere/Twash and just AM3 them to death. Power Creep will make using WSs very dangerous.

I tried full white damage Ukon build recently and I did 46k crit, so be careful ;)

Forget how much hp it has but if your whole party savage blades at the same time it should only get 1 level. should die before it matters.

BLU/BRD/COR/PLD/RDM/WHM > Savage Blade
Melee Support Job > NIN

It's been awhile since doing this ambuscade but I think for this one they switched to defensive buffs...

Kill Order > BLM > NM > DRK > PLD
NM > Do not equip Weapon Skill Damage gear when doing Savage Blade
Attack mobs from behind only > Damage Reduction

BLU > Mighty Guard + Diamondhide
Scouring Spate > NM

BRD > Adventurer's Dirge - Sentinel's Scherzo
Knight's Minne - Blade Madrigal

Foe Sirvente > PLD

COR > Samurai Roll + Miser's Roll
Dark Shot > Bio III

RDM > Enhancing Magic + Enfeebling Magic
Bio III > NM

WHM > Barfira + Baramnesra

Anyone have any rough idea on how much HP the Bozzetto Regent boss will have in VD?

Hey, don't make my NIN sad, I love opportunities to break out the Kannagi, and this kinda looks like a great one! :P

Seriously though, is it viable these days for DDs to just trigger Empy AM3 with a careful WS (weak WS gear, take care not to SC) then go to town with a white damage crit set and otherwise ignore WS entirely?

The barrier is 40k so probably 100% safe for single wielders

Could also use the pld/drk as AM batteries if you were really worried about triggering

Usual video covering both Party and Solo strategies and showing both an Easy and Normal win. Have a good month all!

just lost one where even though we never did more than 30k it still repeatedly leveled up.
Is it actually >40k/second or something?

Doing weapon skills at the same time also counts towards the level up. Hard to tell from your log without time stamps but it looks like a few times your characters are simultaneously firing Savage Blade.

sadly i single box or that could be avoidable instead of random bad luck repeating.

I did a group of 4 on N that was casually white damaging him to death. When we got bored it took 1 person going as hard as they could WSing or 2 people at the same time. This month isn't the cancer as advertised, it's just boring. Maybe that changes at higher difficulty.

Just use WS that don't do more than 40k. Only annoying part is hate reset.

Magic ws that dont scale hard, stun/other debuff ws, if you got an emp its likely better to just AA it to death though. Can possibly get away with 1 hitters in your TP set but that could be pushing it depending on debuffs

After seeing the attempts with the white damage empyreans, that's really not the strat lol.

Effortless but takes like 12 minutes. Just not as good as on qutrub. Suppose it kinda takes 8 regardless but still super boring.
