Asura: Mboze V25 Clear

Hello! Looking for people to do Mboze V25 clear with. Times will be 2PM PST 5PM EST any day people are on.

This is a 2 KI fight, and everyone will need to have 2 jobs.

Fight 1 jobs: RUN GEO BLU SMN RDM DRK
Fight 1 BLU SMN DRK will negate Mboze TP gain while RUN does stoneskin. We ideally need a strong DRK with mythic or prime.


Fight 2 jobs: PLD WHM BRD BST COR WAR
Same strategy as the first fight where BST will use a TP Drain move while WAR COR BRD kill it. Its important to make sure you take turns WS'ing, so you don't get walled.
REMA bard or PREMA bard for overkill.

I've had a group awhile back and by the time we figured out the first fight and after numerous tries our bard decided to tell us he didn't have a mythic. We got Mboze down to 15% then songs wore n we timed out.

I can go RUN or BLU for the first fight and WHM or COR for the second fight. If you need Mboze and have the jobs listed, please let me know!

I'm pretty sure DRK and WAR are interchangeable tbh in KI1-2 and DRK can use r15 Anguta just fine for KI1 or Torcleaver Calad for KI2 as well. (I have subtle blow 65 on both)
SCH can also replace WHM in KI2 very well and Embrava can help a lot optimizing buffs.

I can be up for it, can WAR KI1, DRK KI2 (or reverse), or else RDM GEO WHM (or SCH) among the other jobs u listed!

My discord is sacha3748 in case!

Interested. Can go RDM + COR

Interested! Can go RUN, BLU, SMN, COR, RDM, GEO, BST, BRD

I can do BLU RDM DRK then BRD COR WAR (WHM at a push)

Definitely use WAR (axe or onion prob best) for KI2. You want him dead fast the last 25%. MS, Warcry, Tomahawk are huge DPS boost.

We just did this fight a couple months ago. Get your BLU some raid diapers it gets intense trying to keep his TP low.

Good luck man!

I think the good part about drk in ki2 is drk sp2 under 25%
Not sure it's better but it sounds like ok in theory

I would suggest changing RUN and PLD in your proposed strategy. Flabra rayke will allow armor break to land for full duration. Should be reapplied prior to second add. Rayke should be done in no enmity gear. KI2 start WAR engages first, then max enmity provoke, RUN flashes add, Rayke’s mboze, then works to solidify hate on add. RUN can use magical GS ws to increases variety for ws wall while hitting for 0 damage to limit tp feed (keep up AM3).

Mythic BST obviously makes KI2 easier, but when DPS is optimized you can slow down towards the end to compensate for BST without mythic. I’ve won in both conditions.

Additional optimizations around JA usage for cor and BST help a lot. BST will be changing pets for KI and TP drain. Reset BST JA in lobby and then use the first random deal after warcry and call beast/loyalty is used at start to target reset. COR should have no winning streak merits and reapply before second add to go the distance.

Regarding KI1, make sure BLU has haste and fast cast mixed in with magic accuracy in their feather tickle/reaving wind sets. Pieces like relic body, carmine head, sakpata’s sword, and medada’s ring, along with traits help to approach recast reduction cap.

TTomahawk for what exactly? He's not resistant to slashing, so tomahawk should do nothing as far as i know, won't lower slashing resistance past 0%, and it's not a defense down neither.
Also although WAR is ideal for what u mentioned and i appreciate ur feedback, I'd still try to swap them for science, discovery and fun. Worst case we get some RP and go with WAR KI2..
Which WS would DRK cycle as solo DD in first KI? Cross reaper + another one in loop? (Using Anguta r15)

Edit: when i rp mboze as WAR solo dding, i juggle between calamity mistral axe then savage blade n armor break every 4-5 min.. usually stopping at 75% while RPing but can prob be pushed lower! What really matters is for tp reset to be on point!

Would also like to try SCH instead of WHM ki2 but whatever

Tomahawk lowers WS wall resistance.

v25s have a 25% build in resistance to even the type of damage that they take. (Mboze v25 takes 75% Slashing damage, 0% Blunt/pierce) Tomahawk removes this resistance, its a huge boost to everyone doing damage. You pretty much want WAR in all v25s except magic only fights like Ongo.

For KI1 I used DRK (Fimb/Torc), WAR (Calamity/Mistrel) but ultimately settled on SAM (Mumei/Fudo/Shoha) as the best. But each party will be different there.

We used SAM on KI1 to get the first add out, then went WAR on KI2

But don't people melee add and WS boss so it doesn't matter that much?

SAM does TP fast if you are trying to face smash 100%-75% for sure. Do you just Fudo spam or multistep?

SAM was the solo DD for us on KI1 so rotating WSs was very important. Shoha does well with its att bonus.

Mumei > Fudo > Shoha

Tomahawk seems to remove the Vengeance buff resistance along with lowering the WS wall resistance.

Just to illustrate, we use SCH Helix bursting on Mboze to cheeze points.

RUN + WAR + SCH, Rayke + Tomahawk + burst wind Helix II for 7~8K using his helix duration back.
That is 7~8K against a boss that not only has -100% magic damage reduction and is from a highly resistant family, but also without any other buffs/debuffs.

It's an ability that becomes stronger the more "screw you" a Boss's resistances are. And I think "screw you" pretty much defines all the V25 bosses.

First KI what I used for 6 box was ( SAM SMN RDM SCH GEO BLU)

Sam only DD Full subtle blow for TP and for WS I had chirich rings + subtle blow food.

SMN did a few buffs (Earthen Armor for if TP move gets off + Crystal blessing + Crimson Howl) and kept up siren Avatar favor for Subtle blow 2 (I didnt have dagon on that chat).

RDM helps lock down boss with debuffs and gives dia.

Sch gives some buffs + heals. (can embrava depending on second KI job but its not needed)

Geo fury frailty entrust haste. entrust before entering so longer uptime on haste.

Blu rotates mighty guard with entrust and does reaving wind/feather tickle to keep him from doing TP moves.

This first KI was pretty easy just get a feel for how many WS you can get off. Try to get reaving wind to 18 second cooldown by making a high FC / cap haste set. I alaways had plenty of time at the end.

Sam details Keep ageha up use Meditate on cooldown and rotate between fudo shoha gekko (mumei if you have it) Yukikaze is fine also. Aeonic might have been better then prime for this as you don't want to hold TP so you feed less tp overall. When add is out you can TP off add and ws boss if you want to push it further (blu / rdm could WS Also then)

KI 2 WAR BRD COR BST PLD WHM
War job Keep armor break up if you start with a 3k. Save SP for under 40% and save ur randoms / wc for under 40 as well. Mistral / calamity work.

Brd Savage boss can Elegy boss (might have need immunobreaks from whm to land it)

Cor Savage Boss keep light shot up

PLd tank adds help heal so WHM has time to do other things.

WHM keep dia / silence on boss/ can help slow / para boss so he gains less tp from normal attacks. Use divine carass for paralyze. **Keep auspice up** If even more spare time can Cureskin war to lower TP mboze gets from hitting war.

Bst I just absorb tp killer instinct wasn't needed but if you are confident your pet won't die near end go ahead. Its best to keep bst away from any conal attacks from adds at ~10 yalms away so pet doesnt die and bst won't get hit. Unleash at around 28% so he wont have tp at 25%

*Key details Everyone for KI 2 should WS would some subtle blow added. Bathy choker + peiste belt or chirich rings all give massive subtle blow (or use subtle blow food). Lower TP feed from WS allows you to WS much faster. If mboze gets a high tier spell off he will gain a lot of tp so silence is important can stop WS if he gets a spell off. Its vital PLD doesnt pull hate from mboze so adds stay on them so don't use crusade and Give pld Dirge. The second add should goto the pld but if its not you can rampart or cover on them. Never cover the war they should have hate on mboze.

Good to know about the tomahawk thing vs v25.. this would explain why ws dmg always felt lower than what it could be, thx god i recently got relic piece to enhance tomahawk

Tomahawk and Savagery 5/5 is amazing and standard. The ultimate burst "get wrecked" combo.

50% Uptime not even counting resets also

Idk..tbh the v25 kills i got never used it lmao, not against t1-2 nor against Kalunga last week.. but ye i'll start using it xD

It's a very noticeable difference. Especially on the 25% push to kill.
