Again, we (finally) managed to scrape together 5 bodies to attempt T9 (Second Coil of Bahamut, turn 4) last night. This time PZ logged in and joined us (yay!) so we had more targets for the fire & ice. No more getting 2nd ice in my face before the aiming fire could land!!!! XD LOL!
T9 alone took 3 hours, including dinner break/snack break/bathroom break.
Last session (about a week ago, or maybe it was 2 weeks ago) we knew we improved. Even though PZ wasn’t with us, we nailed the Comet phase and got to the 2nd part about 90% of the time. The Fire & Ice thing was what we had BIG problem with. But last night, with Corn’s plan of having everyone huddling together except Fire-debuffed person, we flew through it quite smoothly. I even developed a skill in reading my own debuff precisely and managed to avoid zapping the party with my Thunder shots. This time, though, the Divebombs are once again my woe, up until we won.
To be honest, I ran around like a headless chicken when it’s Divebombs phase. Amid the havoc and my panic, I had completely no idea where the north is, not to even mention remembering where to place bomb or hide from bomb (4-11 o’clock, 7-2 o’clock, 2-7 o’clock). Also, I think I kept killing Corn with Lunar Dynamo that was aimed on me.
In this pic (above), I didn’t even remember what all happened…. But 3 people were dead and I entered panic mode.
From examining the chatlog: PZ died (twice), then Corn also died (from my Lunar Dynamo, I think) then Dew died.

During the last breath, Corn did a whopping amount of 15,005 DMG (DoT and Garuda not included). Kuji Pumped out 13,050 (not includeing DoT).
The battle was so intense and I couldn’t stop cackling when we won!
And we were rewarded with some epic and super epic cutscenes.
Then, onto the first turn of Final Coil, T10.
We got eaten badly from the adds, so we had to exit and have Corn change back to PLD.
After a few wipes, we managed to win, with me dead on the floor, screaming internally “KILL IT! Just 1% left!!!!! We can’t fail!!!”
And woop! We won.
Then, onto T11. Which we haven’t beaten yet.
This thing is very difficult, and the best we could do was 44%. Then, it was almost 4 a.m. and PZ had to sleep because he has work on Monday.
