Surt (February 2020)

Overview

  • Surt will not cast Ragnarok+ if you have Rama as your Anti-Pierce, instead choosing to spam God's Hand. His accuracy is pretty bad thanks to low AGI, so with buffs and some luck you can dodge those pretty easily.
  • Forneus AI seems to randomly choose a buff/debuff skill to spam each turn. He also carries Recarmdra so he should be the first one you focus down.
    • Once Forneus is dealt with, the Boss will have no way of removing buffs/debuffs. With Tarunda and Rakukaja active, God's Hand will do a measly ~400 damage, which your Healer should be capable of cleaning up.
  • Tsukuyomi AI is also random, he will blindly AOE into Anti-Pierce, burning press turns. As such, it might be beneficial to keep him alive
    • Shiva A is incredible for this fight, as he absorbs both Fire and Force in Teal when paired with Rama.
  • General strat: Bring an Anti-Pierce combo, set up buffs and debuffs and focus down Forneus.
    • Lydia is great for extended fights like these, as it has no usage limits.

Back Attack Samarecarm
  • Seiran is the preferred Dx2 as she will provide random healing and increase healing effectiveness. Templar Dragon can also be used to buff Mahakala's Concentrate.
  • Shiva A completely walls Tsukuyomi, killing off 2 press turns each turn. Third Eye also provides some decent chip damage.
  • Mahakala has strong piercing fire DPS which also drops the boss's defense, cancelling out any Defense boosts from Forneus. He also gets free AOE damage every 3 turns, plus concentrate to let him nuke even harder.
  • Rama is your Anti-Pierce unit. Fog Breath helps to lower Surt's accuracy and damage.
    • Mabufudyne is nice to generate extra press turns off Surt. Yellow can also be used to alleviate some of the buffing pressure off Amaterasu.
  • Amaterasu is used for buffing and healing. Samarecarm transfer in case you get RNG screwed early on.
  • Once you kill off Forneus and set up buffs with Amaterasu, you have pretty much won the fight. Keep buffs up, ignore Tsukuyomi and just focus down Surt.
