Frog Ambuscade V1

Reminder that Fickblix's Ring from The Voracious Resurgence reward is a very nice boost for automaton for this Ambuscade. If you're planning to go PUP for a lot of points, and you could afford to swap a TVR ring until after a weekly conquest reset, it's something to consider!

Overdone. Basic DT set, gifts and food/oil for the pet is really all you need for this month. The external buffs and debuffs don't make enough of a difference in such a short encounter.

Of course it's not needed for a maxed out PUP. But hey, not everyone IS fully comfortable with PUP or has the same gear or familiarity.

Honestly, if you're needing Repair at all, you're either doing something wrong or under 100/1200 JP. And if you're under 100/1200 JP, yeah, this ring probably does make a significant enough difference to improve your kill times meaningfully.

If you're planning to do a lot of Ambuscade on PUP and don't really need the use of a TVR ring for the rest of the week, why not use the easily available excellent option? Drop ring, book warp to Xarcabard right next to the Dyna entrance, pick new ring. Takes less than a minute. Can repeat after every Sunday.

If you run this enough, you'll find that occasionally CS will drop your automaton HP lower than you're comfortable with. You use repair mostly as insurance, but also because oil is cheap and you are not.


I understand the idea of using the best gear you have available to you, but we're talking about dated content that's been on farm for years now. 'Dead inside of overdrive' is about as optimal as most people need it to be.
