Esoteric Mastery Trial (Raid)/Grids

	Important - Read Me! The setups below serve as examples of ways to clear or farm a raid. You should think of them as: "this worked for someone" instead of "this is what you have to do." Not being able to reproduce these setups doesn't mean you can't do the raid! Instead, use them as inspiration to build your own!

Needs to push 75% on turn 6 and 25% on turn 13. May require some ring/earring/artifact optimization to do so.
Fantasia-Realm Harp is only awk lvl 3, so any awakening type will work.

This team is very tanky and usually finishes on close to full HP. For a faster clear time, you could experiment with swapping out the Bahamut gun or M3 Katana for more offensive choices or changing the Quick Summon.

While Shalem's artifact is likely not strictly necessary, it helps to pad debuff count during phase 4 to ensure that Wood WardEarth DMG is cut 30% (Can only be removed by landing 15 or more debuffs)
Local status effect will be removed despite Spirit of the Seer-PhysicianDebuff resistance is sharply lowered until end of turn after blocking 8 debuffs in 1 turn (Can't be removed)
Local status effect.
Doombringer Trident can be replaced with Bounty of Gracious Earth with Abyss Teluma equipped and ultima changed to Gauph Key Tria. This will require swapping Silva (Summer) and Helel ben Shalem (Holiday)'s party positions as Lich (Summer) will no longer have enough bar gain to CA every turn.
- This arrangement will likely be much closer to timing out due to the extra turns and will likely have to deal with an addition omen in phase 4 which adds more chance to be screwed over by Mino Magica Stance Attack If an incoming special attack is due to the foe's charge diamonds being full, the charge diamonds will flash white. If it is instead due to an HP trigger or some other special condition, the charge diamonds will not flash, even if they are full. draining all charge bar and breaking the CA loop. In particular, no longer having Backup FireReceiving backup fire from Silva (ATK and C.A. specs are boosted / DEF is lowered / Upon attacks: Deals bonus earth DMG / DMG Taken Amplified to a foe [6 hits]) (Can't be removed)
