Final Fantasy Ever Crisis - Battle Ranking Elena - 900% bonus 1.03x mil

Full bonus 900% tactic walkthrough.
Elena targets "last action taken" character, counting from when "attack style" is announced and locking at "I got you know". I stress "action taken" and not "button pressed" as in, the character needs to have begun the action sequence (not necessarily completing it).
She also targets her Fascination on the one with the current highest HP at the time she selects the target (not max hp, current). Sahagins will also target the highest current HP character.
Since the score is calculated by taking less damage, we achieve that in two ways: 1) we tank with stats and raise pdef to any but the DPS 2) we kill under 2 minutes, before the next charged attack resolves, and with Elena in Attack stance for max damage.
We use a combination of pdef and fire resist gear, as Elena's attacks are physical fire based. Sahagins also use physical attacks, but they are water based, so fire resist doesn't help us against that, hence pdef taking priority here.
I use Bio on Lucia to maintain DPS on Elena, but depending on your setup, it may not be needed. I put it on Lucia as she does not do damage, and when her debuffs land, she has a window to use it. Matt is otherwise occupied by spamming heals and lastly using Bramble to buff Yuffie before Limit.
We need to ensure 1 hit max damage. We go to sigil phase (it is imperative we do, and not skip it, so your damage must be less until that, luckily my ob5 weapon is a pea shooter so this is done naturally). We break, and we set up out limits (Matt is using it only for 1.25 bonus). Since specifically my Yuffie weapon is ob5, I use Crimson Flare on Lucia and her new weapon main. IF yours is ob6, that means you don't need Crimson Flare, Yuffie can reach there by herself, so you use the fast charging one for extra matk buff (helps with Ifrit).
When we resolve limit, we need to have the following:
1) Yuffie 3 stacks of fire up (either her new weapon +, Crimson Flare, or 3 times her new weapon if OB6+, 3 stacks of patk up from Matt's Bramble Spine
2) Elena 3 stacks of fire def down from Lucia
3) Elena in attack stance so her def is lower
Every account will be different so a different combination will work, but knowing how Elena targets is key to how one mitigates damage.
I hope this helps whoever tries.

Would love to see your one hit score a smidge higher. Maybe you could get another buff from Matt during Sigil break time so it’s a 3 tier! I need to level my boomerang to 110 so I can get more fire Pot. As well! Great run!

The biggest hurdle here is the OB5 Yuffie AOE weapon. Sure, one could push a few points upwards, but the difference from OB5 to OB6 would ensure a vastly superior score, much bigger in difference than fine tuning this one. Which is the reason I didn’t fiddle with it more.
But I agree, technically some more points could be scored by double buff, or having a Debrave to nerf initial AOE, etc, as well as stance dance each time a Sahagin attacks.
