Soulflayer Ambuscade V1
By Seun 2023-12-11 19:28:00
pretty sure it has to be an ability from the original mob that uses it.
Would have been too easy if you didn't need the mob to use the ability. Asurans would be merc'ing ballista for spells.

Due to the Vana'Bout, this once Annoying at best ambu will be quite popular... I expect people to be running it with unique party comps to get the most objectives done per run for best time investment. Curious what people think given the leaked RoE's.

I expect them to just wafflestomp v2 for efficiency tbh
Unless it turns out you can reliably kill V1N/D and check every box in one run etc

That's a shame, here I was thinking people wouldn't compromise on hallmarks to net their plaudits, but I suppose it's totally fair. Hallmarks are only good for so much

most people wouldnt care much to miss out on hallmarks. almost everyone has their gear/capes made. theres also the campaign bonus and extension depending on how well you and your server perform too.
id personally take more time to enjoy a benefit over how much hallmarks i can make

The way I read the web page, it seemed as if our performance collectively hits a threshold, NEXT Month's campaigns (January) will be extended by 3/6 days. Did I misunderstand and it actually meant December's campaigns? I think it'd be smarter on SE's part to have players fight to extend the current campaign in a given month, as its incentive to play, rather than fight for something unknown and potentially less appealing.

It's the following month.
Do a ton of ambuscade this month, to pump ambuscade campaign next month
Then while that campaign is going, do a ton of whatever event they pick, to pump feb's campaign

No see, this is clever, now they can pick and choose campaigns to suit how Vana'bout goes.
I, for one, am eagerly looking forward to those six days of extended Abyssea, Dynamis Granules of Time, Ambuscade Gallantry, Bonus Bayld, Campaign Festa, Geas Fete, and Abjuration Dial campaigns.

Been quite a while since we've seen this one. Usual video covering solo and party battle strategies and showing a Normal Solo win. Have a good month all!

The problem with this is the campaigns aren't announced until the previous campaign is ending/over. You'd be doing VanaBout for a little over three weeks before finding out what campaigns would be extended.
Instead of extending the campaigns for 3 days and 6 days, the first bonus should extend the campaigns for the entirety of the month (update to update). The second bonus should upgrade all eligible campaigns to PLUS. I think people would be morivated to get 12 dark matter a day instead of just 6 or get the extra void/shard and currency drops in Statue Crusher Plus.

I just appreciate something new. They didn't have to do this, but they added something a little extra.
Like sprinkles on a turd.

Rdm sub blm can sleepga all the mobs can do like sleepga > elemental seal sleepga 2 or use Spontaneity to cast sleepga 2 twice in a row. Seems like only 1 immuno is needed for it to land. Also silence soulflayer when u goto kill him. So setup would be like monk bard cor geo rdm whm and just let monk kill the stuff each adds dies in like 2-3 ws. With them all slept the incoming dmg is very minimal.
Elemental seal Is not needed to land sleeps can just keep casting till sleepga 2 or sleep 2 is on everything.
If low ml can sleepga till they all land and start sleep II stuff after so they stay slept.

MAYBE someone will figure out the phalanx and double phalanx shields this time, but I doubt it.
It's easy enough that ranger starts are pointless

thank you for sharing. Can a Blu take place of the monk, and have Rdm and Cor to do the same thing but maybe just D?

It's easy enough that ranger starts are pointless We had it and broke it using SAM GKT WS. It is linked to damage type and can be a double shield which makes piercing immune? idk.
Fire 5 did damage, fire shot and leaden were doing 0.
It's just phalanx effect. Like 2k for 1 shield and 10k for double shield.
It's very easy to figure out but despite that no one can do it.
Enough 2001 hits break one shield and 10001 hits break double etc, no ones bothered to get the exact numbers. (I haven't unlocked ranger since 2017 or I'd have done it already)

Has anyone used BST (or PUP or SMN) on this month's Ambuscade? Pet Special Moves break the shield, but I haven't gotten a chance to solo anything past E on BST (trusts get wrecked). E was simple, Lamb Chop spam (1 charge), but I feel like a fun pet setup could handle this without issue on VD.

We did Run, Pup x2, Smn, Whm, geo and got two kills. Was slow though and the Run was excellent but got it down.

A group I was in doing the ranged strat was having trouble dropping the shields on the soulflayer so what they ended up doing was using tactician's and just waiting for the soulflayer to use a TP move, then running in and savage blading. Made the end go faster.

but staying within 3 yalms
I think it is best practice to open new ambu threads and link the old threads in the OP as strategies change and things can get lost if we continue bumping.
