  • I am following this guide for creating Magicite decks. This meant I need to farm a lot of Syldra. I am Lazy, so I tried to make this work. And it does! It's a very flexible team if you have a lot of Ice toys. Seeing as I'm a sucker for FF8, I have a lot of Ice toys.
  • It can be reset heavy - on Turn 1, if Aerith casts the RW, reset the run, as you will fall behind. If Laguna casts it, sit back and enjoy the ride. Recasting the chain here doesn't matter. Between both Arcane's and Squall's awakening finisher, you can just DPS through the buffs at the end, no stress. At least you will know Turn 1 if you need to reset or not. I think I lost a run once but I've used this to farm 20+ copies of Syldra in the past 2 days.
  • Celes is REALLY nice to keep ahead on healing, but I'm sure a well geared Sora is just as fine, and solves the above problem. Celes gets into her Awakening quicker than Sora and the difference is marginal I think.
  • Magia and Crystal Water are good but I think can be done without. If you get stuck, feel free to farm for a bit to buff your stats. I have a LOT of Squall SBs mastered so his attack is through the roof.
  • I think Laguna, Celes and Sora are all interchangable depending on who's chain you have. I'd recommend a Gen 2 chain only otherwise you might struggle in the last phase of the fight. If you use Laguna's USB2, you will need Icy Offering at Rank 5.
