Whats the current Meta on this fight?
On the final form, does tank still disband party to eat the flow? or with new gear is it easier to eat it?
Ive been wanting to do this during the unity drop campaign so any tips would be great

I think you just have a SAM Yaegasumi and kill its last form before it kills you.

I've killed him with 2 different groups. Both groups use geomancy and just eat astral flow.
tank sam sam brd cor whm
or tank sam smn brd cor whm both work fine if you add more people just split pts and add a smn to each for perfect defense before engaging TC if your dd output won't be high enough for the hp. With smns, we've done up to 12 with only 2 sams, a war, and a cor for the dd With perfect defense up from the start, we generally had sams use yaeg @ around 80%, with whm sacro around 50% If your dd output is good enough, with perfect defense and sacro you might see no one die on a good run (which was why sam is an insurance policy. we've also brought wars and they live on the fast runs). On bad runs, everyone but the sam dies but you still win kill order for each stage was something like: charm chariot -> discoid chariot (if you have a pld, let them use rampart to prevent an untimely discoid kill if your puller doesn't get the right chariot) -> who cares lamia -> mamool -> troll. Troll we always had the smns out of range and on standby for carby aoe erase (its too gewd). Mamool we saw use mijin ONCE out of like 50 runs hydra -> barfire -> cerb -> barthunder -> khimaira. The tank should build hate on the khimaira for this one from the start, which is the only time the tank should be doing anything that isn't just super tanking and staying alive. If khimaira is mean you might get stuns/terror/hundred fists like at the same time and get a few deaths, but just arises and unweaken while tank just holds TC last form for TC you want to keep it up a bit before any sleeps, don't know why but for some reason it's intimidation was always way too bad if we buffed/engaged right away. But yeah leave it alone for a bit while dds rebuff, and on brd super buffs go ahead and sleep all lamps as well. also it can have spikes so throw on some finales or w/e to be sure. tank gets TC in a good position where everyone can stand on top of each other, dds engage backwards to not hit it yet, smns use af/perfect defense, kill it etc it's a simple and repeatable fight once you do it a few times and die and get the strats down. Just stinks that it takes so long and you have to reset 2hrs each time. I think we got like 15 body drops in december for our people, and perfect defense strats are a simple way of allowing for some safety to ensure you win, but you had still better have a bis decked out sam that performs above anyone else in the group, lol Offline

No, 2 sam can just 1hr and totally negate the AF damage. But, everyone else in the pt will likely die. Having 1 decked out sam and 1 smn will likely keep everyone alive. You win either way though.
On the final form after Brd sleeps everything and you buff up for Yaegasumi Samurai method you can spread the support jobs out over the battlefield. That way the summoned avatars will all chose a target and 1hour on them. If you spread out far enough it can be a good way to mitigate some damage on the sam, tank and healer which will be in range of Tumult.
(with good magic eva/def idle sets ppl may live..) Who has been cloning threads?

You can heal through AF if all the chars spread out.. RUN BRD WHM GEO MNK COR each avatar will target different ppl and you can heal through it.
I have been leading my ls on a few days over the last week, we run with 11-12 people, 2 parties, 1 is tank party with slots to rotate the buff jobs into, one of the key things is SMN with Alexander at the right time (for us was as the tank pulled TC to the group for the final smash) then just burn him down asap. We haven't had a wipe yet, nearly 1 once bc of bad luck, but this makes AF negligible and allows dps to just go ham, reset 2hr at your place of choice, rinse and repeat.
