After repeatedly failing to get a water chain, I decided to go with a slightly different approach...
**Boss:** Phoenix w/ Lightning Chain
**Battle Speed:** 2; Semi Auto
**Time:** Sub-30 (best is around 25s)
**RW:** Wall
***Expository Banter:***
* No water chain? Thankfully Stormspell Strike is Water/Lightning and can be taken advantage of!
* The first move is manual, but the rest can be left on Auto with pretty consistent outcomes (occasionally RNG can mess up and Sap will eat into Last Stand)
* Move 1: Prompto - Sapphire Bullet; Bartz - Wall; Kimahri - Radiant Shield; Elarra - Haste; Aerith - Shellga
* I tried lots of different approaches using Rikku as an imperiler instead of using a chain, but Elarra and Aerith couldn't keep up towards the end
* I also tried a few times where Elarra was replaced with Penelo with USB2 and Multi Break, but haven't tested enough to see whether it's consistently better
* The lvl 50 Water Sword artefact is probably unnecessary with the chain; I got it when trying imperil methods
* Most issues arise if Bartz calls the second Wall - this can lead to wipeout or missing out on Sub 30
