Proto Bahamut (Raid)

This article is about the raid. For the summon stone, see Proto Bahamut. For the SSR summon stone, see Bahamut.

In response to an earnest plea, the dragon breaks its shackles. Its cry resonates across the sky, and strikes awe into the hearts of all who hear it.

Raid Battles

Proto Bahamut is one of two Rank 80 raids. It is summoned from the northern Zinkenstill area, Azure Sky Sanctum. This raid is a primary source of Horn of Bahamut and Rusted Weapons, both used to craft Bahamut Weapons. You can summon Proto Bahamut at rank 80 and join at Rank 50. In order to summon Proto Bahamut, you must combine one True Anima of each element to create a Star Sand Scoop at the shop. You might also need to complete the Omega showdowns of Luminiera and Celeste to trigger its appearance.

Strategy

Before Combat

• Holy Sabers are highly recommended to deal with Bahamut's Skyfall. It is also highly recommended to bring a form of debuff removal.
• Turn on Foe HP under Menu > Settings > Gameplay Settings > Display Foes' HP. Watch for when its HP is near 25% and 5% to prepare your mitigations.

Phase 1

• In this phase, Proto Bahamut's first attack will always be Ragnarok Field. This can be absorbed with VeilDebuffs will be nullified (1 time)
  "Veil" is an unofficial name used by the wiki for this status effect. Its actual in-game name is "Immune.", or removed with Clarity. He can also recast it.

Phase 2

• Check Proto Bahamut's buffs before using any high-damage moves (like a full Charge Attack chain or a bunch of nukes) to minimize the chance of wasting the attack on a Elemental Resist Up effect from Abdak Force.
• In public raids, do not inflict ParalyzedCan't attack
  near the 25% trigger as it can cause the raid to waste all of their defensive skills then die when the effect ends and Proto Bahamut casts the trigger. The 5% trigger is safer to use Paralysis on as he only has 12 million HP left.

Dealing with Partybusters

• The only ways to survive Skyfall are by reaching a 100% damage cut, gaining UnchallengedNext DMG received will be ineffective
  , Dodge AllTakes no DMG or debuffs while in effect
  , or Lethal Attack DodgedCan withstand lethal DMG (Leaves 1 HP)
  , cheesing it with AutoreviveRecovers once from a knockout while in effect
  , or inflicting Accuracy LoweredAttacks and special attacks have a chance to miss
  Local status effect and hoping that Skyfall misses.
• The trigger can be delayed by inflicting debuff such as ParalyzedCan't attack
  , ComatoseCan't attack and takes big DMG
  (Chance to end upon taking DMG)
  Takes 50% more damage
  Local status effect, or Twilight TerrorCharge diamonds don't fill up / Can't use special attacks
  Local status effect.
• The most common way to reach 100% damage mitigation is by using Phalanx II/III and using a summon or party ability to cover the last 30%.
  • The currently obtainable summons providing at least a 30% cut are:
    • Athena (Summon) (Draw)
    • Godsworn Alexiel (Draw)
    • Hector (Draw)
    • Fully uncapped Onyx Carbuncle (Draw)
    • Obsidian Carbuncle (G-points Shop)
    • Hekatonkheir (Side Story)
  • Chaining off of any Carbuncle will always give 25% damage cut, which is insufficient. Skyfall will still deal 5% (49,999) damage, which will kill most characters.
  • Alternatively, Titan (Draw) can grant Lethal Attack Dodged (25% HP)Can withstand lethal DMG if HP is 25% or higher (Leaves 1 HP)
    buff to the party, allowing all characters above 25% HP to survive Skyfall with 1 HP.
  • Only a few characters can save the party since normal damage cuts do not stack with each other, and Phalanx is considered a normal damage cut. Some of them are:
    • Sarunan's  Mad VeilAll allies gain 70% Dark CutDark DMG is cut 70%

Based on @otokuro2 drop reports Source. Drop table last updated: 2022-03-27, all stated drop rates are estimates. The game changes over time. If the drop tables become incorrect please notify the wiki staff.

Blue Chest Scaling

The Blue Chest drop rates for this raid are not calculated linearly like other Raids and follow a different plot, changing slope at 10% of honors. For Gold Brick farming, 10% of the honors in PBHL is enough to overtake Akasha's drop rate.

Strategy

Current State of the Raid

While it is still possible for this raid to fail, a few strong players with the help of ParalysisCan't attack
below 50% HP can now easily clear this raid in a short amount of time. Therefore most times you will do the raid you can ignore the following section, with the exception of only applying ParalysisCan't attack
below 50% HP.

Before Combat

• Minimum honor for full Prestige Pendant contribution is around 500,000 honor.
• Bring at least two to four mitigation-based summons - preferably two 3★ Darkbuncles or one 3★ Darkbuncle and Athena (Summon).
• If you have wiped or lost your MC, message the raid to make it known.
  • Coordination in this fight is important as each member has a role to play. Not dying before 5% can be critical to beating the raid.
• Proto Bahamut gains resistance to all debuffs every time said debuff is successfully applied. As such, the following statuses/skills are prohibited unless stated otherwise:

• Break Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
  and Break Boosted (DMG)DMG needed to switch to normal mode is boosted
  - Tien's The Final Order
• ParalysisCan't attack
  - Tweyen's Clincher
• GravitySpecial attack max charge turn is extended
  - Dark Fencer's Gravity Wave, Feower's Carnage
• PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling.
  - Percival's Ikzel, Black Knight's Acumen

• CharmedAttacks are slightly limited
  can and should be applied the entire fight.

Stickers

• Use the "Clarity please!" chat comment (in the Heal category) when you need a clear.
• Use in-game stickers when Phalanx or Panacea is used, to minimize wasted skill uses.
  • In order to stop overlapping Phalanxes, use the following method when preparing a Phalanx use. First, Use the "Casting a Shield" comment. Afterwards, cast Phalanx and use the Phalanx sticker. If anyone uses the "Casting a Shield" comment before you as you're preparing your shield, save it.

Earth Phase

• Gravity is no longer prohibited and should be used as much as possible.

Wind Phase

• Break Boosted (Time)Break mode time is extended
  and Break Boosted (DMG)DMG needed to switch to normal mode is boosted
  are recommended to be used from here onward, as much as possible.

• Do not use characters with weaker Extend Breaks skills, only Tien is accepted.

• Users with PetrifiedStops enemy's charge diamonds from filling.
  may start using it. It should be applied as often as possible, unless ParalysisCan't attack
  is applied.
  • Recommended times to apply Fear after the Wind Phase are at OD 50%－25% and N 25%－0%.

Unchained Phase

• Hyper Dimension OD has a 1/4 chance of instantly killing your MC. Do not take unnecessary risks.

• Nirvana users can use AutoreviveRecovers once from a knockout while in effect
  to cheese HD. SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally
  (Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks)
  can also be used for additional risk management.

• Paralysis is now unbanned. Recommended times to use it are if the boss is in OD between 50% and 25% health and at all times below 25% health.

True Power Phase

• Phalanx is to be cast on cooldown when the boss is below 25%. Proto Bahamut can do normal attacks for upwards of 10,000.
