- This is my farming team at +7 difficulty. I'd say it's more than 95% stable, and the best I can do with my current roster. Certain characters like Dancer Fiore, Rinyuu or Tithi make this fight a lot more managable, but wven with those characters at level 10 you will find this boss a significant challenge! The video includes all fights. Enjoy! :D

Notes on the the game board: Arena of the Ebony Dragon
- The level multiplier is not linear unlike other boards. Multiplier at 0 to +5 goes from 1x to 2x as normal. Level +6 and +7 adds another .5x becoming 2.5x and 3x respectively. Level +8, +9 and +10 adds another 1x becoming 4x, 5x and 6x respectively. At 8 tickets you have a maximum multiplier of 48x which is twice the amount of other boards at level 10.
- Despite higher difficulties giving more yield, I highly recommend to begin at the difficulty that you feel comfortable with. Then increase +1 when you are confident at the current level.
- Level +5 and +6 are roughly equal to the medal yield you get from the champion boards, so unless you need only one kind of medal I recommend farming the dragon board at a tleast this level.
- You have 4 routes you can take, 3 of which have semi-random fights. The route to the bottom right has only two fights and slightly more medal gain for some reason. Its best to pick the route that is easiest for your team to clear. You can find a cheat-sheet on the various weaknesses at MeowDB: meowdb.com/db/octopath-travel...
Strategic Notes
- This composition is ultra-specific to my roster and playstyle. If one move or piece of equipment is just a little off the plan, it may fail, therefore I don't recommend to copy it unless you have exactly the same characters and equipment. Despite that, I hope it can give you some ideas on how to do your own teams.
- There are two important RNG factors in the final fight.
1. Sword debuff may not proc from Richard, and then we can't finish in 6 turns. But I am able to kill the dragon the following turn 100% of the time so it's not a major issue.
2. Serenoa counters when hit by physical attack. This helps us shield shave but it also makes it harder to predict when to stop. At turn 3 Serenoa will be the control here. I adjust his boost level (# of attacks) according to what I need. The goal is to leave the boss at 4 shields, not considering counters. The break timing can fail if the dragon suddenly decides to do physical attacks 4 times in a row, which is very rare. Just reset if it happens.
- At +6 I don't need any damage mitigation, but already at +7 my frontline gets wrecked by Dragonfire if I don't use viola's anti-attack. Alfyn's fire resitance buff also helps.
- Speed: Richard must be faster than Berserk A2. Chloe should be faster than the Dragon, but slower than Berserk A2. Viola should be faster than dragon but slower than Chloe. Serenoa must be faster than Alfyn on turn 1 and faster than the first two fights until turn 3, therefore he has a Golden Ballen Cap. Bad luck can ruin the run if any of these are not in place.

The one thing I really like about Dragon board is that it reminded me of how useful Lianna actually is. I‘ve beaten the Dragon up to +8 now with mostly defensive strategies and she is just so good with Healing Spirit, Oracle of Order and Glacies Debilitare. Even her Ult has its use in stacking with Violas Ult to minimize damage during the Dragons boostmode
Wow nice! These debuffers really shine when content is still challenging. Lacking both Tithi and Lianna, I have no AoE debuffers, and they are sooo handy, especially in the group fights.
Well done. I find it sad that the reward is so small. I think +8 difficulty is the breakeven point compared to Master Board max difficulty, and that's not good enough since Wealth medals are the most valuable.
Since you can reliable clear +10 I understand why you feel that way.
This particular run was on the very low side. I usually get over 40k in total which is more than my usual yield from the champion boards at about 15-30k - and very unreliable. Of course if you want only wealth medals that would be more efficient. Also, I got 400k once on the wealth board with a super lucky run. I don't see how that is gonna happen on the Dragon Board.
Always love the voice.. serenoa and alfyn.. mamote yayoo !! Haha
How did your alfyn heal so high? I have lvl 80 alfyn and his regen healing is only 1k+ per round
Nice clear! 🎉 Love watching A2 get every crit 😂
I kept this recording thinking that you'd find it funny 😅
It happens surprisingly often.
@@EmpyreanSky Is it really true that the bottom right route gives the most medals? I was told it gives the least b/c it has the least flags 😕
@@PrimismyEX I haven't checked the ones on the top right, but the ones on the left side give +10 per checkpoint, while the sole one on bottom right gives +25.
The enemies are easier to kill in every other route though, so there is some incentive to do it still.
@@EmpyreanSky whoa I never knew this what the heck lol
@@PrimismyEX well it’s good you found out now and not 3 months later!
So this gameboard huh? Man i have a lot preparation i need to do and a lot of catching up as well.
Progress report:
Sofia Ex and Serenoa joins 9S, Therion, Olberic, and Lars as maxed out units. All that left for convictions gameboard is to simply get 700,000 medals for the final awakening stone.
And that's it. No really, that's it.
Sorry i don't have more to share. Usually it takes a few months for you to upload another video, no offense.
Addendum? I guess?:
I've been putting off fighting the ruby dragon for quite a while, but i feel confident in taking him down now. Any advice?
Not only that but i plan on finally completing the 4stars traveler stories. I plan to do them all but i figured ask you which ones to prioritize first as i remember urshiko saying some of they're exclusive items are better than the others.
Oh, and i also plan finishing BOA chapter three so yeah, any advice there too?
Hahah "that's all".
For the ruby dragon, ugh. I dunno I hate that fight xD. The best is if you can finish it in one or two breaks. Sword or ice is good. Axe can work as well if you have Hayes. Bring sleep allies and use it on first turn. Gives you time to set up your units. Otherwise you need a tank to soak up the wind sweeps, preferably dancer Fiore, or any other tank that can survive without a row partner. It works very much like the one you see in this video.
For the traveler stories I don't have much of a preference for the A4 accessories. I find them all useful in various situations. Some may find more use in endgame than others, like Kurtz A4 and Peredir A4. You also have Ramona, Merrit and Camilla A4s that give row partner SP regen, which is very nice in SP intensive fights. But I also love those that are deemed "bad" like Lucetta's and Sigrid's (this is mostly because the bonus they give are covered passively by many characters), so I wouldn't worry too much about it. It's not like night/day difference anyway. Feel free to follow Urshiko's recommendation if you have no other lead. Otherwise I'd just go with those you like and take it from there.
For BoA my advice is to enjoy! The story battles thus far haven't been super difficult, so just take your time and enjoy the story :)
@@EmpyreanSky I see, thank you so much.
