Initial findings on VD.
6 Mobs: Sextuple Razool Ja, casts AM2 V-VI,s aga IV-V
Nitro Lullaby dont work.
Sleep lands with ES or a few Immunobreaks even with Frazzle3 with a decent Rdm set.
1st Silence seems to trigger "Hurl Anathema" Ranged Single Target on Rdm Mute, Stun, Paralyze, Poison, Slow, Plauge and Hate reset.
And also seems to give Spikes/Enspells, which couldnt be dispelled.
2nd Silence on the same mob didnt trigger Hurl.
Every Rdm debuffs lands easily.
Disarming Crescent: removes Main/Sub and locks the weapons out for like 10sec or more, also works from range.
Shield Shatter: Def down and dispels Protect.

Just a few bits of info from quick testing on Easy:
Easy spawns with 4 Sextuple Razool Ja, all 4 open with an instant casted nuke upon aggroing.
All targets were sleepable with dark based sleep (Although they did appear to have high meva for lvl 124 mobs)
Each Mamool used tier 2 -ga, T4 single and AM2 nukes. All mamool have very high levels of fast cast (Instant?) Each mob used Manafont before dying.
The chat log message "The warriors/sage's prowess flows through you" appears after each Mamool is killed. Was unable to ascertain what this actually meant.
The final Mamool used Mijin Gakure instead of Manafont
Each Mamool might possibly be tied to a single element nuke that it casts. One mob only used ice spells and actually absorbed dmg from a Distortion SC
Enemy tp moves witnessed:
Ward Breach: Dmg, mdef down on target. Was absorbed by 4 blink shadows. Possible dispel?
Shield Shatter: Dmg, def down on target. Possible Dispel?
Disarming Crescent: Dmg, Strips weapons, short encumbrance on target
Hurl Anathema: Tosses stave at you; dmg, Stun Paralysis, Slow, Poison, Plague, Mute on target.

Sextuple Razool ja at low HP does mijiin gakure, took me by surprise there. Did around 3k+ dmg on me on VD.
The Red Mamool ja was absorbing my light skillchains while I did not notice blue ones absorbing light damage.

We could use some estimate about acc requirements and total HP.
Previous ambuscades generally had mobs on VD with over 1M HP, acc. Requirement about 1400.

Just did D, Horde Lullaby landed on some, very resistant, didn't use nitro tho based on previous comments. Mobs take a lot of damage, i had no GEO stuff up but did have chaos + brd buffs and landing 50k fudos, 1 4 step pretty much killed them so roughly 300k health? I used indi attunement which help minimally, most likely going to need a tank for this month as the initial pull is sketch as a DD doing it.

More useful info: The more Mamool Jas you kill the stronger their nukes become, started taking 2k+ dmg on ja spells. Also red mage seems to be extremely effective on this, addle and paralyze practically makes their fast cast nukes more manageable by a wide margin. Once my rdm partner logs in I can see this becoming more manageable. Silence seems to be recommended once you kill more than 2 mamool jas. Gonna figure out if they gain guard when they throw away their staves, but I suspect that they use mijin gakure in retaliation to getting silenced since they can't manafont, can anyone confirm it?
Edit: yep, they mijin, and they mijin hard the more you kill lol.
Edit2: I did not notice a mijin gakure when you silence them after they use manafont, but the more you kill the more mevasive they become. Might be a good idea to drop addles/paralyzes on them when you sleep them initially.

Maybe on this one its a "weaken them all but dont kill, then kill them in quick succession" type of fight?

Last run I had, the 2nd to last mamool ja did mijin, so it's not always the last one
By Chyula 2020-08-06 04:57:52
seem like this month is cor,rng,smn fest, aegis pld run in aggro them all and take it to corner and let them rain spell on pld from a distance. then rng,cor,pets kill 1 by 1. can entrust fend on the pld if ***is hitting too hard, or any form of magic defense buff.
I tried this will DDs but the engaged mob keep moving closer to the tank and causing the DDs to get hit by the aoe spells.
and one more thing, they do nothing but casting nuke on the tank from a distance. no enfeeble stuff.

Just had a message pop up "the sage's wisdom flows through you" no clue what it meant, they still hit like a truck. Killed a red one first, then a blue one. Perhaps colour matters?

So scrap that, if you kill it with a staff up you get "The sage's wisdom flows through you" if you kill it without the staff you get "The Warrior's wisdom flows through you" no clue what these messages mean yet, i have a feeling it is saying they are buffing their magic/melee damage up, maybe need to alternate between silence/not silence

Bismarck.Mindslaver said: »Cleared VD twice with RUN RDM/nin MNK/nin BRD GEO WHM.
RUN pulls, RDM frazzle/addle/para all then pulls 1st mamool with silence which seems to also reset hate on it, DD and RDM bring it to ~10% avoiding skillchains of the element of the specific mamool since they absorb, @ about 7% or if the mamool starts tping RDM and DD time ws to kill it before it can mijin. Repeat 2 more times.
After 3 of the same form are killed we noticed their damage goes way up so we switched to killing the last 3 as mages. With addle/para they werent much of an issue.
Buffs - Haste2, frailty/fury, honor march, minuet 4/5, str etude
1271 acc before buffs
Any DD with shadows should be fine to avoid the weapon strips and damage ramp from the melee mamools
What clear time are we talking? MNK/NIN with Godhands? Any particular reason you went with MNK? Did subtle blow effectively limit their TP moves? I'm thinking about trying it with SAM since they can easily make two step dark and light.

Did you try alternating the kill order so Mage, Melee, Mage? does it reset their strength? I was going to try this then work got in the way :(

An annoying month... Yay

Get used.
This gonna be the “new normal”.
By RadialArcana 2020-08-06 08:04:55
The most annoying part when they add a new battlefield is it takes forever to get in to test stuff.

Seems like these can't be AFAC by Summoner. Seeing significant damage resistance after the first BP down to 10% damage taken on subsequent BPs.
