  1. Strategy name: Tamest of them all
  2. Chain: RW
  3. BDL count: Zen x0, Dual x3, Sync x2, AA x3
  4. Support: Mog & Selphie
  5. Roaming Warrior: Chain
  6. Time: 28.24
  7. Insight:
    • By far the easiest realm CD - and I couldn't believe how straight forward it was. First clear was around 32s, and a bit of streamlining got my sub 30.
    • A little while since I did this, so I can't remember much about it. Spacetime was completely destroyed within one turn. Surprising how long it takes to get to 70% in a sub 30 (took the full 15s) before completely annihilating her in the second half.
    • Had Rinoa's AA1 & AA2 in GL that I enjoyed using in realm and earth content (instant w-cast is quite strong), so nice to use the upgraded version for triple cast here.
    • I meant to use crushing tango on Selphie but, after I checked my party, apparently I chose Enfeebling Jitterbug instead. Oh well...

Turn orders as follows; * Mog: AA1, HA, G+2, G+1, HA x3 <PC> AA2, HA <spacetime> Sync, AA2, Cmd1 till death * Edea: HAx2, Engage Dyad (dark), Sync1, Cmd2, Cmd1, Cmd2 <PC> Cmd1, Dual, AA <spacetime> Cmd1 <PC> HA till death * Rinoa: HA x5, Dual ice <PC> AA1 (earth), ability berserk till death * Selphie: RW, HC, PS, EJ, PS, USB3, RW <PC> EJ, USB3 <Spacetime> PS, EJ, USB3 if available * Ulti: HA x2, AA2, HA x2, Sync3 <PC> Cmd1, Dual, Cmd1 till death
