Tips

<This optional section is not for strategies, but general warnings and tips about the conditions surrounding the fight. Here you would put important mob considerations, weather conditions (if applicable), or day of the week considerations. Any advice that doesn't fall under strategy belongs here.>

Working Job Combinations

This section is not meant to discourage people from trying different combinations, but to illustrate combinations that have been tried and tested. Please feel free to try this BCNM with any combination you think might work, and above all, have fun!

Normal Party Setup

The most common strategies involve using 2-Hours, most notably Hundred Fists, Mighty Strikes, Meikyo Shisui or a group of Red Mages using Chainspell and a series of nukes with Stoneskin on. Other combinations, such as a tank and one or more Black Mages can also work.

Paladin tends to be preferred over Ninja as a tank due to the rapid speed with which the The Waughroon Kid whacks the players. Also a Paladin can use Invincible, which will help negate most of The Waughroon Kid's attacks and weapons skills. A common strategy with Paladin tanks is to bring in any two damage dealers. The Paladin runs in and uses Invincible either immediately, or once The Waughroon Kid uses Counterstance. Once the Paladin uses Invincible, the other two damage dealers use their two hours and bring The Waughroon Kid down as fast as possible.

The Fight

  • Go into the fight, summon a Funguar pet, set your pet to attack, and cast Utsusemi: Ichi. (Remember to let your pet attack first before you, because you want the pet to tank as much as possible)
  • If hate is on you turn your back to the mob and recast Utsusemi: Ichi if needed until the mob starts attacking your pets again.
  • Use your WS once the mob uses Counterstance since he will have incredibly low defense at that point.
  • Remember to fight behind the mob! He can counter your attacks!
  • Apply pet food (Pet Food Zeta recommended) as needed to preserve your pet as long as possible.

Note

  • BST/WHM can be subsitituted for one BST/NIN and still clear within the time limit.
  • If you get enough time to pull off a weapon skill and Sic (seeing as the funguars miss alot), theres a good chance you will have to rush to the Armoury Crate to complete this in time.
