An ancient vault has appeared in the Dimensional Vortex. Inspired by clues to the past they find hidden below, Rain and his crew set off to investigate.

if u want to get all the stuff required for lightning to 6 stars require 8000 auracite
Glad I formed a blizard team for brachiosaur
Elite was kicking my physical team
Is there any easy way to farm auracite?
ELT battle is too troublesome for only 100 auracite 🙁
If you cant farm elite I guess u will have to stick to pro difficulty….but it will result less efficient auracite/energy speaking, so you might have to be more “selective on what to trade
The best way to deal with elite is a mage team, if ur mage power is kinda bad, it might be worth to try at least a bunch of semi-decent mages given all blizzara (if they dont learn it, via ice rods) and make a huge element chain, with the last strike done by a friend blizzaga (Kefka/Exdeath) with a BIG mag stat
Always quick to get the info up. Thanks!
Pretty darn proud of myself for beating that elite stage
After I completed the Adv, I dont see PRO & ELT.
There’s no “exploration” for PRO&ELT, just quest.
I m use full mage 2 keffka max lv . . And yes theis dmg is crazy . . But when enemy atk them ==>Game Over . . WTF can’t avoid
Help me please
You need 4 mages to make a huge element chain in order to kill them. I’ve got Vaan (Focus), kefka, exdeath, golvez and I still get owned some times. Currently leveling Tellah for the last spot (never thought I would need him).
Use CoD protetga, golem and lenna + mages that worked for me
i just used CoD too barrage so that u kill remaining survivors of the blizzaga chain. I chained 4 blizzaga and one blizzara plus stonra.
i cant trade with king kupo how i can fix this issue?
i cant trade with king kupo to… he say i dont have any “goodies”
5 kefka owed all.. If ya have them
Or Vaan .. 4 kefka… And use Ice bizzga
Elite is obviously the way to go, and yes a high MAG team using Blizzaga is the answer. Of course depending on your units Blizzara might be the best you can do.
My current set up:
Tellah w/Shiva MAG 290
Golbez w/Ifrit MAG 210
Celes w/Siren MAG 247
Terra w/Diablos MAG 298
Kefka w/Ramah MAG 333
Since Terra is the only one lacking Ice spells I give her the ice rod. She does Blizzara and everyone else does Blizzaga. Then pick up a high MAG from you friend list.
What gear do you have on your Golbez?
Equipment:
Fire rod
Mythril Bucelery
Mythril Helm
Brigandine
2x Hero rings (just added one on him to put him up to 221 MAG. )
For the ability slots 4x MAG +10%
How about your tellah and kefka?
X6 blizz-ga/Ra spell then press repeat ftw
My guess is the weapon and shield are only so helpful. Best to save auracite for saving for awakening materials (not that you know what you will actually need for your Exdeaths and CoDs, unless you’re the lucky bastard who got a Lightning).
Player ID 790,737,887
Currently using
Cecil lv 80 (golem)
CoD lv 80 (ifrit)
Tellah lv 80 mag 288+178 (diabolo)
Lenna lv 80 (shiva)
Kefka lv 80 mag 353+237 (ramuh)
This team makes elite so easy lol
How so? what do you do? I have the same exact team and still get mopped up at boss fight. my kefka and tella arent as high though… kefka 289 ramuh and tella 268 diablo.
Got a mixed team with WoL, Lenna, Kefka, Charlotte, Lightning. Can do Elite fairly easily with:
WoL – blade blitz (atk 312)
Lenna – Thundara (mag 180)
Kefka – Thundaga (mag 410)
Charlotte – std attack (atk 206)
Lightning – area blast (atk 490)
(+friend)
With this setup I can “one shot” each round without the enemy having a chance to attack back. On the last round (boss) I have Kefka use Ultima.
490 on lightning? Ultima? Wow. What’s your friend ID? xD
Anyone else not able to open treasure key box in adv exploration?
To unlock treasure box in adv exploration, you have to put your key at your item set
what can i say, after spending all my lapis & tix i didn’t even get lightning. this event is irrelevant to me!
really need info on each boss of the 4 boss for elite
who is healing
who cause confuse
one of them is resist to magic(the green one on bottom left i think)
I’ve beaten the ELITE for many times now. The best way to do it is… like suggested above, use mage team chaining Blizzaga. Although my method is a bit different, as I put 3 magical attacker in my team, one physical attacker and one breaker/support. Also +friend as another magical attacker. It’s pretty easy, the hardest part is only waiting for the RNG to come back 😀
well i am lucky enough to get lightning
but not lucky enough with 3 mage or healer only using fina + terra for heals, cheer and res
charlotte for shellga
CoD barrage but so nonresistance always someone won’t die cuz need 1 more hit
Well the main point is to kill them in 1 turn so they won’t have chance to attack you, that’s why healer is unnecessary unless you use it as support/breaker. Except for the last boss, which usually takes 2 turn instead. If you can kill that Wiegraf guy first, cause he is very annoying and usually wipe out my party if I let him alive.
Well I’ve been doing well too using physical team, cod hayate bartz wol fina/lena and another healer as hire.
Use diabolos on bartz, you have 3 man eater use cheer sneak attack barrage full break. You can even use physical normal attack to kill and fill limit burst. 1 limit burst of hayate can kill 1 boss with fb.
Went 5 mages, all or nothing. Vivi dual cast Bizzara, Shantotto, Bizzaga, Terra Bizzaga (ice rod), Exdeath, Kefka. Dual cast first then all the others and get 6x element chain. Don’t do repeat the timing doesn’t always work. Total magic rating somewhere above 1250 (200,200,250,300,300)
if you are missing 1 Blizzaga mage you can max outLasswell btw. top up his ability slots with MAG+10%, clears Elite easily
Instead of Leena(Useless here) or Terra a max 5* Garnet and Shiva, or even better, Diabolos will do more than even Kefka by himself. Plus she can revive in a pinch if needed, accidents happen. Give her an Ice rod if she’s with Diabolos to cast Blizzara.
Shifting her to magic attack left her at 240 magic and 260 spirit still. She covers that last spot best.
Status effects shouldn’t be considered when picking a unit. 3/5 times if you get whammied you’re probably done.
Rosalias lb can save you, but that’s it. Remedies and Esuna won’t fix Petrify, so bring smelling salts, echo screens and Eye drops as needed.
– Kefka
– ExDeath
– Tellah
– Garland
– Vaan
very easy battle
Garland, round 1 & 2 – Stonga
round 3-6 – Darkside – never heal him, let him die last round after he used his skill
Vann round 1 normal attack
round 2-6 focus
other teammates only use blizzaga
my Lineup for elite is kefka-ramuh
cod-ifrit
lenna-golem-ice rod for blizara
lid-shiva
tellah-siren
friend kefka
round 1-2 cod-barage and blizara/blizaga combo is enough round 3-6 always use focus of lid then blizara/blizaga combo with the highest magic getting the last hit for blizaga, sure dead all. my espers are not all max out, just give magic +10% to all
of your mages, hope it help
i am using garland lv5 with darkside with a curga boost to health. the darkness dmg is amazing. i working on lv2 diaobolos for darkside purchase for golbez. he has 30% bouns for espers.
all blizzaga is probably the best strategy, but i only have 2 lv 80 mages. so i use tellah and kefka and borrow another mage or high dmg aoe like garland, fencer, or lightning. i got garland to make up my other dmg slot then lenna for heal and cheer, and vaan for full break and focus. i can still kill all the mobs in one hit if i time out the spells cause darkside chains with the blizzagas (and lenna heals back every turn). fb on boss enemy guarantees one hit kill. i just save their limits for the boss stage. 2 garland limits with cheer is about 110k damage to all the bosses but the one that resists dark. the blizzaga or mage limits is just gravy. or just use a lv 100 lightning and her area blast can 1-shot every round…
but for those of you who don’t have the damage to clear in one or two turns are gonna have a tough grind. but so you know:
Lezalas: does high physical dmg; attacks twice
Wiegraf: has a lightning attack that does a ton of damage
Loffrey: this is the guy who does the confusion/silence effect
Isilud: the tank
The wiegraf (3) and loffrey (5) levels are the hardest if you can’t take them out in one hit. even with full break on, wiegraf does a lot of dmg and can wipe out your team if you’re not careful. loffrey is difficult because you can’t put a black choker on everyone so if he lives past the first round, you’re gonna have some confused and silenced people. plus the two mages that cast death and blizzaga. save your best spells/limits whatever strategy to try and take these guys out fast.
if you don’t have enough mages and unit with focus, you can use Sarah, she has buff MAG+40%..
It’s worked for me..
Wow just saw a lightning with 2 Excalibur equipped att 500+ omg
Tempest? He also has dual wield and TM hat & armor.

Thanks man
After Lightning the fsrming goes on 🙂
Where do u get that info? I have maxed 5* exdeath, vaan, cecil but cant see the required awakening materias
They are from Japanese websites. Exdeath vaan Cecil are currently not able to promote to 6* yet in global version, while they’re released in Japan server.
I didn’t know Kefka would get a 6*, thanks so much for all those info !
From that list I’m guessing one should awaken Exdeth first right?
I’ve been having success with a firaga team since I don’t have any Kefka/Exdeath/Golbez. I use the Sarah method to “focus” first then manually fire off firagas in order from the character with the lowest MAG to the highest. I have not had to bring along any friend with a MAG of higher than 280, but higher definitely helps. Sometimes the lower left guy in the boss fight lives, but a “repeat” always finishes him off, even with a bunch of staus ailments on my guys. My team:
Sarah
Rain(!) 205mag
Shantotto 225mag
Terra 265mag
Tellah 295mag
Exdeath friend with at least 245mag
I have MAG+10% on ALL my ability slots.
Hope this helps some folks.
I just wonder why everyone use Blizzaga instead of Thundaga.
Lasswel already has blizzaga, so you only need to build another 4 blizzaga spellcaster to do the combo, instead of building 5 thundaga spellcaster.
Oh I see.
I’ve never used Lasswel so I don’t know about his spells.
Thanks for rely.
One of the knights (Wiegraf) is resistant to lightning, and he has arguably the most annoying move: 2x high damage, confusion causing Hallowed Bolt.
Yeah, he’s a bastard. I use full break on him in the last fight to make sure he’s dead before the second round.
Can make 2 chirijiraden katana?
No, you only get one Bugross Ore as a clear reward from the ADV dungeon. You can’t get any more (unless they give you another way to get it, but i hardly thing they will)
My current team for blizaga + areablast:
Terra – 276mag (shiva for blizarra)
Shantotto- 247mag
Vivi- 211mag (dual cast)
Lasswell- 221mag
Lightning- 279 Atk (icebrand sword) – area blast attack
Friend kefka- 300+
Can get through round 1-4 in repeat mode and on the last two manual for a 9 elemental chain
Lol elite cant even touch me once and I have zero mages, a buff party from my ramza I just pulled, a 465attck lightning and 320atk Leo the rest all barrage, they never even get the chance to attack back. I pulled my ramza 24 hours ago and at the time I had 120 auracite with no mats. 24 hours later (present time) I have almost 3,000 auracite and idk how I could’ve possibly gotten more haha (tiny bit of sarcasm) pulled alma day before, and mustadio today, allllllllll my units are off 250 daily pull, idk what my secret is😂
Why bother farm auricite? waste of time unless you have endless amounts of time or $ to dedicate to it. ADV explore is incredible for farming all magicite though. it’s a short easy run. I’ve maxed every single esper over the last week from doing this alone
