Thread: Garuda Ultimate battle summed up in one image.

Depends on your setup how useful blind is. Even though I almost always have full burst at the start, I hold off on burst until she gets into rage mode, because if I burst at the start she stays in rage mode forever and rage mode has much scarier hits than normal mode. I have multiple sources of blind and dizzy from Mordred and the rest (if I don't get it, not a big deal) and then fight until its fully built rage. Once it gets into rage mode I usually break it in a single turn with 5burst + a few skills so it goes straight to stun, and then stays in normal mode while I build more burst charge again.

So effectively I spend the entire fight in normal/stun mode.

Normal mode is much easier with Mordred because not only can you blind, but you can also put down "Desertion" which is Asmund's skill that does damage AND reduces the rate of double and triple strikes (incredibly good skill and one of the best available at the moment). So normal mode has a lot less threat than rage mode, almost always only hits once, and is usually blinded or dizzied or both.
