2. Tank it. The Trigger is easy to predict since it's not tied to HP% but Rage. But with the amount of damage it deals, this means combining multiple damage cuts. Everyone has access to Joan (but bringing Joan conflicts with other "clear with x Soul" missions!), but the second one is the problem. Water Kaiser is also available for everyone reliably, but 10k Eidolon Orbs is no joke. Also, Crom's Crotch isn't even coming back this year as next up we have three cycles of Cthughua.
Although everyone should be able to clear wave4 of Crom's Crotch as long as they have a full slvl20 Grid, this Guild Order can simply be impossible to clear for some people, simply due to RNG not granting them the tools to deal with that Rage Trigger.
I'm not going to say that you'll be able to clear the other GOs (I can't remember what other bosses do, ha ha!), but they might be more doable.15%. Because FLBs get their max skill level increased to 30. It's really expensive to level up, but Assault/Defender is well worth it.
You had Rudra, yes? If your Rahab Knife is 2-Stars, I'd say yes, it's well worth it. If it's 3-Stars, just wait until you get the ingred- oh wait, did you forget to stack up extra Rahab Silver and Gold drops? Mmm. Yeah, in that case, I guess it's still worth it, just a shame.
And just to avoid the worst case scenario: If your Rahab Knife is 2-Stars and you DON'T have 45 Rabah Silver and 25 Rahab Gold drops... then no. You'd need two bricks for it, so don't bother.Technically, yes. But that does mean using 3x Bricks on the same thing, AND requires you having the thing. I think as far as OP triple skills go, Water so far only has Saraswati and Neptune, I think? Plus Asherah, who gains double Assault, which is also super good. If you don't have any of these three (which probably don't even have FLB on Nutaku yet?), then you don't even have a "proper" Brick target for now.Why not? It's not like Regalia are limited in supply.
0-Stars gives you access to the best thing, the +30 burst from third ability. This allows you to use PF without outside help, but I guess that doesn't apply all that much to you just yet. Still, makes Herc faster and can help you solo-burst on Herc in some content just for the (upcoming) debuff.
1-Stars gives you access to the second best thing, the -15% Def (Eidolon frame) as a burst effect. This is usually what makes or breaks Herc into your team, as reaching -50% Def is HUGE.
2-Stars gives more burst damage for Herc. It's something, but meh.
3-Stars gives -25% Def (Eidolon frame) as a burst effect. Again, as before, this is largely what makes or breaks Herc but most teams already reach -35-40% before Herc's burst effect, so this upgrade is usually not as big of a deal breaker.
As we're about to enter the Age of Shingen, the Lance would be nice but... for you, I guess it'll still take a good amount of time before you get access to her, so there's no rush.
