IFRIT 1.20 Strategy

Hi everyone, IFRIT Battle is getting more challenging and excitement after the update, we tried more than 25+ fight after the update but only succeed once which less than 1 min left (Epic Battle) ><! our setup GLD x1 CNJ x2 LAN x3 & ARC x2, as well as the other PT seems like they trying over and over again... ><!

So any idea/strategy how to defeat him?

Another strategy that we use,at the beginning GLD, LNC (using impulse drive) and ARC (using gloom arrow) fully attack him until one of his horn break, then back to normal strategy...but seems doesn’t work, we always running of time ><!

p/s please post and share your strategy/idea!

Thank You

Glad x1 Mage x7

did it repeatedly with 1gld 2conj 5lnc just like prepatch, break the left horn with impulse/gloom which you can set on lancer too then just blindside/bloodforblood doomspike with no combos the whole fight and you can down it in 15-20 minutes.. people really cant die anymore no chainspell makes that hard on everyone

but yeah thm absolutely destroys any melee dds for that fight, unbroken horn regen is nothing with thms.. awesome how fast they can take him down

also worth nothing you really have no excuse not to kill every nail now with combos and ***and sentinel isnt helping much on hellfire so the damage sustained is a lot more with just 1/2/3 nails down

Pretty much this, can go tank, cnj, cnj, thm thm thm thm thm, or just tank, cnj, thm thm thm thm thm thm. It's extremely easy and you'll win in about 9min

thank you people! ( @@)

...going to try it tonight with 7 mages or prepatch strategy with breaking the horn

Old strategy still work just takes longer.

Might need some time to get used to new battle system, once get DPS up you should be fine.

Or try some different setup as others have done.

I did 1xGLA, 2xCNJ, 3xLNC, and 2xARC.

Same strategy as before but what I found out it you can do a max of 2 WS in a combo then should wait for Ifrit to use an ability then finish off the combo. Just don't spam abilities, especially on ARC.

Like I and a few others have said, same strategy as before just a little slower.

my DPS as lancer went down from 26-30 (1.19) to 19-21 (1.20). THM is close to LNC, but i think LNC still beats THM.

THM is very nice for this ^^ My LS take it down 9 min or so with all THM 2CNJ and 1GLD

I wish I could try that.. but always lack of THM,

Here another strategy that I found good for normal PT… setup 1GLD 2CNJ 2THM 3ARC (sorry no LNC)

3 ARC standing together with CNJ on the right side (near the stone) free from PLUME zone excluding cracks… both 2 THM standing behind Ifrit / center and of course another CNJ standing on the left side.

No breaking horn strategy...fully attack him, just need to slow down after the HELLFIRE avoiding cracks/plume…. then VICTORY waiting! won 2x today using the same strategy… but no weapon drops @@;

1 tank (GLA or MRD), 2-3 CNJ (depends, if u have good healers 2 are enough) and 4-5 THMs. We beat Ifrit in less than 10 mins in that setup. We dont break hors. Why THMs? Because they can make biggest and fastes DMG, Thunder > Thundara combo and Ifrit got ~600hp less, both spell recast is quick so u can nuke this combo every 15 sec.

1 CON on west, 1-2 CON on east. THM stay a little bit behind CON on west side. There is a spot safe from Plumes, Dash and Vulcano Burst. THMs nuke from there.
When Eruption pop up, THMs run down and CON which stand in front of THMs run to middle, so no one get traped.

30 seconds befor Hellfire we pop Rampart and Stoneskin, 10 seconds before Hellfire 1 THM use Sanguine Rite and waiting for ifrit to land at middle, pop Sentinel. Everyone in pt dont take more than 1k DMG.

With that strategy we won yesterday 10/10 times and beat our time record 9:30 minutes total battle time.

Yeah if you have a really good static PT for this you can take him down within the first 10mins. I always use the strat:
x1 GLA
x2 CON
x5 THM

Works everytime! but you have to pick the thms' wisely cause if they don't know the fight you are screwed, same with the cons.

ooo Id love to blackmage burn this fight! Its hella fun as thaum now. I find its best to aim for 460 Mag acc if you want to see few resists to combo thundara. Sauerkraut(mag acc) is my food of choice here, and usually loads cheaper then crown cakes(MP/M.Pot)

Yeah 460 is a good number to shoot for. Really all you need to do is get an electrum sceptre with MACC materia on it then eat some macc food(such as Sauerkaut) and you're gold!

it's also piss easy to get the nails down with thm!

did the Glad, Mage LNC way as Lnc pre 1.2 but post 1.2 heavy mage set-up i find it much easiesr as conj..!


about 20 wins in the last 72 hours with multiple set-up's ones including an archer....
