DFFOO GL | Dare to Defy III SHINRYU | Rubicante Solo

DAR3 to Defy III - Rubicante Solo Party: Rubicante FRBT 3/3 (Gladio LD) FR Phase: Rubicante (2) FR Echo: N/A Setup Notes: - Minwu sphere for heals on counters. Braska sphere could work but you will need to rely on RNG (Will be very rough for my alt account *_*) - 5/5 UW for the damage counters - Gladio LDCA for break prevention. Strategy: - Use S2, AA and S1. Play the boss a bit. Take your cue on the AA turns left. Use this to refresh your buffs. - Use LD when LD buff is down to 1 turn. (AA should be 2 turns) - Make sure that the boss recast gauge is not maxed before you do this. Use Gladio CA. Go into Rubicante’s BURST phase (S2, LD, S2, S2, EX, AA) - AA is important as it will reduce the likelihood of breaks. - Rubicante uses his FR on the following turns. Always use EX or S1 during your force time. - Summon Bahamut once your FR gauge reaches the last turn. Spam EX, refresh LD, and charge your FR gauge. - Make sure you have 2 turns before the boss turns. Rubicante uses AA, FR, Gladio LDCA and BT finisher - Watch the counter end of the show. Depending on your spheres, there is a chance you might not get enough heals. Minwu sphere and attack sphere that relies on weakness is important here. Be mindful that the HP requirement is 5000 Bahamut summon, Note: Rubicante is EX 3LB with their bloom passives, HG armor & his enhancement boards. Rubicante has his BURST 3/3, FR 3/3, LD & the following spheres - Rydia (RF), his own & Minwu.
