Octopath COTC F2P Showcasing Gilderoy tankability vs I'Cirlo lvl 100 NPC

This is a fight to showcase Gilderoy + Yugo (yes you read correctly) tankability. If you have W'ludai or stronger accessories to beat her fast this is a safe strategy. Points of notice:
- Gilderoy has 30% passive phys def up (his + Yugo's passive)
- Gilderoy has 30% active phys def up (his taunt + Molrusso heal)
- The NPC has 30% atk down (9S volt + debuff ally)
- If you use Gilderoy ultimate on turn 6, he gains 20% more phys def for another 3 turns.
- Gilderoy's HP doesn't matter. Give him speed accessories so he can taunt fast.
This means that for 6 turns Gilderoy only takes 10% damage and on turns 7 and 8 he takes only 20%. If your other units can defeat the boss or break turn 9, this is a viable strategy to mitigate damage that requires very few resources.

[@cotc_grind1059]

[@arkibxd]

This was wild to watch but we need to know, did Richard clutch it out at the end?

[@Thefungangiscool]

Why no Primrose? I'm pretty sure she's be useful here.(unless this is meant to be spear team clear)

[@cotc_grind1059]

I was mostly worried about showing the tank

[@stevenher2532]

For the fortune weapon. All Physical defense on souls?

[@cotc_grind1059]

For Gilderoy just speed. With all that mitigation he's more than fine.

[@erikowan]

Oh Darn...u almost made it

[@cotc_grind1059]

[@edcaous]
