User:Diamonit/Dark Rapture HL guide
Welcome to this guide, that will hopefully help you tackle the currently most difficult raid in the game : Lucilius Impossible (Hard).
I’ll begin with a quick disclaimer : this guide is not intended for people already used with the raid and who aim for fast clears. I will instead focus on giving advice about how to better understand the raid and clear it safely.
I will also not talk in this guide about “cheese strats” which consist in using Carbuncles and one of Luci labor in order to cheese through the raid.
Note to editors : Feel free to edit this guide if you see any factual mistake or if you want to improve the English, or even to update it with the latest information.

Who is this raid for?
The first question to ask is, should you even consider running Faa-HL? Well, first ask yourself the following questions :
- Are you over rank 170?
- Is getting an ULB Opus the most immediate power boost your grid can get at the moment?
- Are you done with grinding the eternals you want/need, and do you have gold bars to spare?
- Can you get 30k HP on your whole frontline without completely gimping your grid damage?
If your answer is yes to all of the above, in that case, you can start to consider running Faa-HL. That means, you can focus on preparation for the raid : grinding the adequate grid weapons, getting important summons, acquiring the recommended characters…
However, if your answer is “no” to two or more of the above, it means you have other things you should be working on before thinking about trying this raid.
Preparations for the raid
A quick overview of the fight and hard requirements
Here are the things that you must absolutely know about Faa-HL in order to prepare :
- The boss has two targets : the Black Wing which is Dark element, and Lucilius which is null element. They are often called "Wing" and "Main body" respectively. Killing the wing takes generally around 1/3rd of the fight.
- The base defense of this raid is 20. Which means that you will deal little damage to him. If you want to test your damage against a similar amount of DEF, the damage you'd get by fighting a null element trial puppet without any debuff is the same you'd get against a fully debuffed Faa-san.
- He will nuke your entire team with 30k white damage AoE as soon as you enter the fight. As a result, it is mandatory for your frontline to have over 30k HP.
- Everyone has to use
Spartan, so make sure you have it unlocked.
- With every special he casts, he gets a stack of
Evangelist's BladeAttack specs are boosted based on Evangelist's Blade lvl
(Can't be removed /
Lvl rises upon Lucilius's special attack activation /
Lvl lowers upon taking a buff-removing effect)
Local status effect that grant him various buff. Those stacks need to be lowered through the use of aDispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe.. As a result, you will need as many sources of dispel as possible (at the very least 2).
- He will deploy buffs called Labors (such as
Eighth LaborNullifies 'all elemental DMG cut' (Can only be removed by activating a chain burst of 5 or more chains)
) early in the fight. Those buffs have requirements to be dispelled (for example : deal 2m plain damage). It is imperative to fulfill the conditions to clear those buffs, as the difficulty of the fight increases exponentially with the number of labors remaining. That means that every element has their own role in the fight, and the raid might not succeed if you can’t do your part correctly.
- A lot of things in this raid require specialized characters : clearing labors, debuffing, tanking, dispelling, healing… So you need to have a consequent pool of characters, and nearly every element has must have characters that you must absolutely bring. Add to that the fact that the raid punishes you for bringing two characters of the same race at the 25% mark.
- The raid has a
Grand Finale CountdownThe special attack The End will activate when the count hits 0 (Can't be removed / Counts down each time Lucilius knocks out an ally)
that will count the number of characters killed by Faa during the fight. When this counter reaches 0, it’s an instant wipe for everyone. So you need to play carefully.
Notice that having good damage is not a must-have in this raid. Yes, it will help a lot if you can contribute with good DPS. Yes, you do need damage in order to clear before reaching the 30 minutes time limit of the raid. But not every player in this raid needs to do 1m+ honor for the run to succeed. DPS in faa-HL comes with speed and turns taken, and that comes with getting used to the raid. So there’s nothing you can do but take it slowly at first, and learn. Eventually, your damage will increase as you get used to the various triggers.
Now, about the labors that require every element to deal 10m damage : those are not that important. If left untouched, the labor buff will “only” increase the damage dealt by faa in said element. Yes, it will be better if they are cleared, but it’s not a hard requirement to beat the raid.
Class and Summon setup
Sub skills
The class setup is pretty straightforward :
- Every player has to play

DispelRemoves 1 buff from a foe.,
SubstituteGain
SubstituteReceives foe attack in place of an ally
(Excludes all-foe all-ally attacks)
Duration: 1 turn . andClarityRemove 1 debuff from all parties..
Some elements do not have a choice, and will require to bring dispel, simply because they don’t have enough sources of dispels otherwise. Clear is the team player option, and is recommended for people who will not require the additional protection that substitute provides (note that you will need three clarities among the raid participants). Substitute is a selfish but very potent protection option, since if you use it while phalanxed, it pretty much gives you a turn free of damage (there are a few exceptions but it’s still extremely useful).
Concerning EMP, you should invest in the usual. C.A damage can be a good option, as MC will not be able to cap ougi outside of Phalanx cast turns. The Party HP EMP at ranks 150 and 185 will greatly help you in order to reach more easily the 30k HP threshold.
Universal Main Hand options
- The
Seven-Star Sword is probably the most cost efficient option to use in every element. Thanks to its ougi

On the next turn, it'll have 0 turns remaining. for 0.5 turns., your team will benefit from a 100% white damage cut when combined with Phalanx, which will allow you to ignore damage and nearly all triggers for the turn. - Spartan's Class Champion Weapon,
Guardian's Xiphos, is resource-intensive to create, but it has a chance to activate Substitute each turn, which nullifies many dangerous triggers when combined with Phalanx.
- Using an
Ultima Spear or
Ultima Sword is a decent alternative, but it will not provide any defensive help.
- Finally,

Summons
There are a few things to consider when choosing your summons :
- The strength of the call : be it damage, sustain or utility, you need to bring summons with useful calls, not necessarily summons that increase your DPS.
- The stats of the summon : summon HP makes up for an important part of your HP pool, so having FLB or ULB summons can make the difference between reaching 30k HP or not.
- How useful it will be to your allies when they cross it : for example bringing a buncle will generally benefit you, but will not benefit any of the other player crossing your summon.
- The summon cooldown or lockout : those make a big difference about your own crossing summons rate. Crossing a lucifer call when your HP is low can really save you, but you need to actually have a summon off cooldown to use…
- The number of use of the summon : on the contrary, one time use summons need to have very powerful calls if you plan to bring them, as you will have less opportunities for crossing summons after you’ve used it.
The summons below are listed (roughly) in order of importance
Summon | Reason to bring | Element to use with |
---|---|---|
![]() |
Call effect that increases your burst and makes it much easier to reach the 10m damage check for the labor, on a low CD. Also a very nice stats stick. A must have. | All |
![]() |
Great stats stick as well, and a powerful heal that is also extremely useful when crossed. A must have as well. | All |
![]() |
The most important clutch summon, resetting all your cooldowns if you ever need it. Generally it’s used when something went wrong in the Phalanx rotation. Can also be used to tank certain triggers. It’s a free summon, so no reason for you to not have it (farm some hosts and get into trains next RotB). |
Extremely useful for dark players to reset conjunction. Great in general for high value skills with high cooldowns (so good for every element). |
![]() |
At FLB, Zephyrus is a 7t CD dispel that can be crossed by other players, so it’s a very valuable summon to have for yourself and others. | All, except if you already have a lot of dispels available through your characters. |
![]() |
Although it’s only a one time use summon, Typhoon can be very clutch. Its full delay can allow and another player who crosses it to reduce the number of specials incoming, and it can also save allies from situations where they might get stuck (more about that later). At FLB, it will also give you full charge bar, which can help you burst or help a player get ready to full burst / overchain. |
Dark players will make very good use of it as they get decreased CD on it. Still a great summon for any element. |
![]() |
It brings both slow and dispel, so again a very valuable summon, especially since it can be used very early on. However, it has a very high cooldown so it cannot be counted as a reliable dispel source. |
All |
![]() |
Good value summon which grants a 10% stackable ATK and DEF buff. It will also give it to an ally who crosses it, which is quite nice as well. Be careful though, those buffs can be dispelled. | All |
![]() |
Probably the best primal call out of the 6, it grants an armored effect to the team, as well as Lethal Attack Dodged which can save against high damage single target triggers. | All |
![]() |
A 30% cut that stacks with Phalanx, and grant a full damage cut for one turn. Also has a high crossing value. However, she might not be as necessary if your characters already have the means to protect themselves. |
Elements lacking full cut or substitute all options. |
![]() |
A good F2P summon option, which benefits greatly elements with high ougi burst. | Wind mainly, but other elements can make use of it as well. |
![]() ![]() |
Dispel summons, good to have if you have nothing else. | Elements that lack reliable sources of dispels. |
![]() ![]() |
Arcarum HP summons can be good if you’re struggling to reach the 30k HP, or simply if you need more HP to feel comfortable in the raid. Most of their calls are however not very useful in Faa HL. | Elements with no good accessible HP weapons |
![]() |
A good healing option if you have her. The clarity is useful early on, but no so much afterward. | Fire especially can make use of her Wind cut on call with Athena's ![]() ![]() Duration: 1 turn Wind Damage Cut., ![]() Duration: 3 turns, and ![]() Strength: 10% of max HP (Healing cap: 400)Duration: 3 turns. At level 90: ![]() Strength: 10% of max HP (Healing cap: 800)Duration: 3 turns healing cap increased to 800. All allies also gain ![]() Duration: Indefinite., they should be able to take care of ![]() . |
![]() |
Tiamat FLB is actually a great free summon option if you’re looking for something with decent stats and a good call. The mirror image is great since Faa tends to not have many AoE attacks, and it soaks a lot of damage. | Elements lacking full cut or substitute all options. |
![]() |
A good stats sticks with decent defensive buffs. Good to bring if you happen to have her uncapped. | All |
![]() |
Budget Bahamut. Useful if you have troubles reaching your CA cap for the 10m damage labor. | All |
![]() |
Budget Lucifer, it has at least some decent buffs and has some value for other people to cross. | All |
![]() |
A double edged sword, it can be situationally a lifesaver if an accident happens to you or one of your teammate. And even resurrecting a key character (for example Yurius) can prevent the raid from failing. However, a bad cross can really hinder your allies if it resurrects a sacrifice character for example (which can be a problem for Gopherwood Ark at 25%). | All |
![]() ![]() |
Defensive carbuncles are a selfish option that can however make it really easy for teams with “element switch” to fight, as they will be able to have permanent 100% damage cut with enough summons. | Fire (![]() Water ( ![]() Earth ( ![]() Wind ( ![]() |
List of Labors
As they say, know your enemy before fighting them. You should learn what each of those labor mean, and how they are cleared. It’s not something you can afford to discover on the spot while fighting Luci. Plus, knowing them will allow you to better understand how to prepare properly and which character to bring to the fight. Here is an explanation about the priority list :
★ : This labor doesn’t need to be cleared right away, and can be left alone. It’s totally possible to beat Faa-HL without ever clearing this labor (but it doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be cleared).
★★ : This labor doesn’t need to be cleared as soon as it appears, but it’s better to get rid of it as it will inconvenience you quite a bit, and reduce your chances of beating the raid.
★★★ : This labor must be cleared as soon as possible, otherwise your allies risk losing characters to it. Leaving it alone will greatly compromise your chances of beating the raid.
★★★★ : This labor must be cleared as soon as it appears. It is impossible to progress further in the raid if someone isn’t able to clear it.
(Element) : means that this element can be used to clear the labor with the right conditions / characters

Team and Element review
Note : Those are the most likely to change as time goes by, since new characters will appear and I’m not sure I will be able to update this guide often. So just use it as a general guideline, and not something to follow religiously.
General guideline :
You generally want to consider the following :
- Your party should be built by considering first the characters you absolutely need to bring to clear an important labor (Overchain, Plain damage).
- Remember that you can not have two characters sharing the same race in the team, since the second will die on the 25% trigger. There can however be exceptions : elements that prefer to wait at the 25% mark in order to burst (Wind, Fire) or dupe race characters that will kill themselves (Nier in dark). If you’re confident, you can also take the hit and lose a character at the 25% mark, but that can backfire if your death counter reaches 1 before that.
- It’s generally a good idea to have characters with Dispel and Delay as utility.
- It’s also a good idea to have one character than can help with defensive duties (typically bypassing a lethal trigger).
- You also want a character that can heal or bring team shields or team def buffs. The more the better.
Fire
Role and general playstyle
Fire's role is to clear First LaborFire ATK is boosted (Can only be removed by dealing 10,000,000 or more fire DMG in 1 turn)
, Ninth LaborHP is restored on every turn (Can only be removed by dealing DMG 30 or more times in 1 turn)
and if no one else does it Seventh LaborDeals elemental DMG superior to each target's element (Can only be removed by dealing 2,000,000 or more plain DMG in 1 turn)
.
It's a well rounded element, but their healers are not the most accessible characters, and they will generally prefer to avoid taking unphalanxed turns (unless using an Agni grid with Garrison).
A lot of Fire's damage comes from nukes, particularly Athena's Tetradrachm5-hit, 100% Fire damage to random foes (Damage cap: ~120,000 per hit).

Grid
Fire Notable Main Hands
Other main hands not listed below can still be used, but will generally not bring anything noteworthy to the team.
![]() Hollowsky Spear |
One of the best fire option if you have at least 2 other spear prof characters (Anila / Athena / Zeta fit the bill). It grants additional HP, and the ougi will greatly reduce your team sustain issues. |
![]() Sword of Pallas |
A decent replacement for the Seven Star sword since the ougi will grant a 20% white damage cut stackable with Phalanx. Also has a HP skill |
![]() Scimitar of Brahman |
If you're lacking DA/TA, this can be a good option thanks to its ougi. |

DA Magna mod Crit HP skill |
Between 1 and 2 | Try to have a good mix between Raw HP and HP skills to optimize your HP. |

1 | Your best source of HP in grid |

Stamina mod Normal mod |
Up to 4 | Even if you won’t be always at full HP, Ixaba remains one of the best damage option in your grid. |
![]() Kerak |
Progression skill Majesty skill |
1 | If you happen to have a FLB copy this is a perfect weapon for this raid as the progression skill will greatly help your damage with double Agni. |
![]() Gangsta Knife |
Garrison Enmity mod Crit |
Up to 2 | A great source of Garrison, as well as a big enmity mod. |
![]() Deidre's Heart |
Garrison Normal mod HP skill |
Up to 2 | Probably the best Fire defensive weapon, basically a better Majestas for Fire. Unfortunately, it's only obtainable during Valentines. |
![]() Crimson Finger |
Enmity mod Normal mod |
Up to 2 | If you happen to have some, slot them, but don’t go out of your way barring them just for this raid. |
![]() Ushumgal |
EX mod Skill cap up |
1 | Prefer bringing Ushumgal over Xeno, as the skill cap up is very handy to increase Athena / Fraux / Esser’s damage. |
![]() Sol Remnant |
EX mod Bonus damage |
1 | The best source of EX mod in your grid. Provides 10% echo to triple attacks at 5★. |
![]() Fist of Destruction |

Normal mod HP skill |
Between 1 and 2 | Your main farmable source of HP. |
![]() Balmung |
Raw HP Raw ATK Cap up |

![]() Ecke Sachs |
Raw HP Normal ATK Crit Enmity mod |
Up to 2 | Unlike magna grids, primal grids have a lot more weapons to use, so it’s really if you don’t have anything better. |
![]() Chains of Caucasus |
Enmity mod EX mod |
4 or 5 | You can use them with one ![]() |
Fire Specific Summon picks
![]() The Sun (SSR) |
Sun is used for two occasions in this raid : the first time is during labors, in order to reach easily the 30 hits. The second time is at 25%, waiting for the last 10% of the raid to burst it with Esser Team assassin. |
![]() Prometheus |
Having one prometheus (even 0* is okay) allows you to double dip on Athena’s wind switch, and grants you 3 turns of full damage cut with Phalanx instead of only one. |
![]() Michael |
Michael is even better as fire since you will benefit from her cap up aura. If you’re not using Fraux or Zeta, her additional dispel will also be vital to survive the later parts of the raid. |
![]() Qilin |
Key skills to reset with qilin :

Full setup examples
Please keep in mind that those setups are only indicative and are only one example among many.
You will have to tweak the grid weapon in order to reach the 30k HP threshold, and adapt your characters and summon grid depending on what you own.
Magna users will generally use Colossus x Elemental, while primal players will prefer using Double Agni (especially if they have a source of garrison).

As such, water is the element with the highest sustain and the safest in this raid. It will however struggle to have good damage, especially magna grids that will require to gimp their grids in order to reach the HP threshold. It is also the element that is the most averse to taking unphalanxed turn as they will not want to lose Europa’s Fire switch skill.

Grid
Water Notable Main Hands
Other main hands not listed below can still be used, but will generally not bring anything noteworthy to the team.
![]() Murgleis |
Very similar to the Seven Star Sword, just with better stats. Varuna grids will however definitely prefer using it over the revenant weapon. |
![]() Fateless |
The second water weapon that dispels on ougi and increases the team's auto attack damage with ![]() Strength: 15%. |
![]() Galilei's Insight |
A pretty good MH at FLB, since it gives unchallenged to MC and a 4k shield to the team. |
![]() Draco Horn |
If you ever happen to have 4 copies of S. Grea weapon. The first water weapon that dispels on ougi, which is important since the standard water team doesn’t have a lot of dispels. |
![]() Vergilius |
If you really have no other option and you don’t have a seven star sword to use. At least it has an ATK and HP skill. |
Grid weapons : Magna
Weapon | Role | Number of copies | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Staff of Renunciation |
HP skill Magna mod C.A cap up |
1 | Your best source of HP in grid |
![]() Ancient Auberon |
HP skill Crit DA Magna mod |
Between 1 and 4 | The only viable magna HP weapon that still has a damage skill. Quantity depends on if you use Double Leviathan or Levi x Europa. |
![]() Tyros Zither |
Sentence skill Magna mod |
Between 2 and 3 | Your best damage option in order to clear reliably the 10m damage labor. |
![]() Fateless |
EX mod Cap up |
1 | You'll probably be using this as a main hand, but if not, it's still your best source of EX mod. |
![]() Clarion |
EX mod
Skill cap up |
Up to 1 | If you have the room for an extra EX weapon (magna rarely does), the skill cap up is very handy to increase Quatre, Lily and Europa's nuke damage. |
![]() Aquamarine Hatchet |
Magna mod Progression skill |
1 | If running double Leviathan, the Progression skill helps stabilize damage. |
![]() Bahamut Dagger Coda |
Normal mod
HP skill |
1 | Mandatory HP weapon for magna users. As usual, adapt the choice of your weapon with the front line brought to the raid. |
![]() Winter's Frostnettle |
Magna mod Crit Enmity mod |
1 | Unfortunately, the crit part of this weapon will not be of use until you start hitting the main body, and once you're comfortable with water's combo, you will always be at full HP. Still a decent weapon to bring. |
![]() Rose Crystal Harp |
EX mod HP skill |
1 | If you’re struggling to reach 30K and are ready to trade damage for HP. |
![]() Leviathan Bow Omega |
Raw HP | 1 at most | If you’re REALLY desperate for HP. |
Grid weapons : Primal
Weapon | Role | Number of copies | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Staff of Repudiation |
HP skill Normal mod Cap up |
1 | Your best source of HP in grid. |
![]() Fimbul |
Stamina mod HP Skill |
Up to 3 | A good budget weapon to reach a high amount of HP. Once your combo gets going, you will never lose any HP so it’s safe to stack a few of them. |
![]() Blue Sphere |
Sentence skill Normal mod |
Up to 3 | Pretty standard weapon to have with a Varuna grid, you will want 2 if playing double Varuna, 3 if playing Varuna x Europa. |
![]() Tyros Zither |
Sentence skill Magna mod |
Up to 2 | Magna mod weapons with sentence in order to deal high damage ougi. |
![]() Ice Crystal Staff |
HP skill
Normal mod |
One at most | If you need to bloat your HP and don’t want to use too many Fimbuls |
![]() Meteora |
Enmity mod
Normal mod Garrison |
Up to 2 | An okay weapon with Enmity and Garrison. Use it only if you don’t plan on bringing Europa / Lily combo. |
![]() Nereus Staff |
Progression skill
HP skill |
If you have one | If you actually have some of those, you can use them in a double Varuna grid. |
![]() Fateless |
EX mod Cap up |
1 | You'll probably be using this as a main hand, but if not, it's still your best source of EX mod. |
![]() True Glacial Dream Staff |
EX mod | 1 | Best used with a Cosmic Staff - otherwise, Clarion or Fateless are preferred. |
![]() Vergilius |
HP skill Normal mod |
Up to 1 | Your farmable Big HP weapon option, that still comes with a small ATK up. Bring one if you can't reach the HP threshold. |
![]() Savior of Hallowed Ground |
Stamina mod DA/TA |
Up to 1 | Consider using if your grid has enough staves. |
![]() Cosmic Rod |
Raw ATK Raw HP Cap up |
Up to 1 | A good choice if your grid has at least 5-6 staves. |
![]() Galilei's Insight ![]() Taisai Spirit Bow |
Stamina / Normal mod Crit |
Up to 1 | Actually not that powerful grid choices, since the crit part of the weapons will not be of use until you start hitting the main body. Okay to bring if you happen to have them already uncapped. |
Water specific summon picks
![]() Garnet Carbuncle ![]() Ca Ong |
You will want at least two carbuncles in order to rotate properly, and you can even bring a third one in case of accidents (enemy dispels your buffs for example). Keep in mind that an uncapped Ca Ong will naturally have better base stats, but also a more important cooldown. |
![]() Qilin |

Full setup examples
Please keep in mind that those setups are only indicative and are only one example among many.
You will have to tweak the grid weapon in order to reach the 30k HP threshold, and adapt your characters and summon grid depending on what you own.
Magna users will generally use Leviathan x Elemental for optimal damage, but the lack of HP can force them to use Levi x Levi.
Primal players will prefer using Double Varuna since the core team provides a good amount of Water ATK up in general.

Yodarha is used a sacrifice here. Since Feower is not brought, MC has to take care of bringing Gravity.

They can also take care of plain damage with Threo, but that’s often at the cost of a lot of team survivability.
While earth damage is pretty high and has a lot of defensive tools, it suffers from a heavy lack of sustain. Their early turns are also pretty rough as they have to hold off ougi in order to have full charge bar before the labors come out.

Grid
Earth Notable Main Hands
Other main hands not listed below can still be used, but will generally not bring anything noteworthy to the team.
![]() Last Sahrivar |
The best main hand you can bring in this fight as Earth. The water switch effect on ougi has a tremendous value, and really reduces the amount of damage taken. You can also ignore a lot of triggers by combining it with buncles. |
![]() Autumn's Transformation |
A decent replacement for Last Sahrivar if you missed Xeno, the ougi effect will grant a 80% / 30% armored effect to your team. |
Grid weapons : Magna
Note about Caim grids :
If you can afford it, it's worth noting that Caim provides a 50% DEF buff with
The Hanged Man's CharityWhen an Earth ally has 12 or more buffs at end of turn:
Remove 1 debuff from that ally..
This will multiply your Effective HPThe number of raw HP equivalent that equates your HP + DEF combined by 1,5. This means using a Caim grid with 30k HP will be the same as using a non Caim grid with 45k HPAssuming no other DEF buffs.
Weapon | Role | Number of copies | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Harp of Renunciation |
HP skill Magna mod C.A cap up |
1 | Your best source of HP in grid. |
![]() Nibelung Klinge |
HP skill Magna mod |
Up to 6 | The best magna HP weapon that you can bring, as it grants Big ATK + Small HP. You can even bring a Cosmic Katana with enough of them. |
![]() Yggdrasil Dewbranch Omega |
HP skill Magna mod |
Up to 2 | The inferior version of ![]() |
![]() Autumn's Transformation |
Crit Magna mod DA |
1 | If running double Ygg, a decent source of critical hit rate (reaches 100% crit with 2 ![]() ![]() |
![]() Dawn Rising |
EX mod Earth ATK up |
1 | Pretty much the only raid where you’d use this weapon. If you’re not bringing ![]() ![]() |
![]() Yggdrasil's Bough |
EX mod Skill cap up |
1 | The best source of EX mod in your grid, and a source of cap up at 5★. |
![]() Nibelung Horn |
Stamina mod Crit |
1 to 2 | Stamina mod helps mix up your modifiers, but the crit part is ineffective against the wing. It's still a good idea to bring one. |
![]() Bahamut Sword Coda |
HP skill Normal mod |
1 | As usual, consider races in your party and bring the proper weapon. A ![]() |
![]() Ancient Perseus |
HP skill Magna mod |
Up to 1 | A good raw damage + hp option, but at the cost of DA rate reduced. Consider bringing if you have enough DA from characters and/or other grid weapons to compensate. |
Weapons to consider for Caim grids | |||
![]() Zircon Edge |
Magna mod Progression skill |
Up to 1 | Magna Caim grids will likely need to run double Yggdrasil to meet the 30k threshold, which makes this weapon's Progression skill very handy. |
![]() Godsworn Edge |
Enmity mod DA/TA |
Up to 1 | If you really need DA/TA, this might be worth the loss of damage at higher HP levels. |
![]() Yggdrasil Crystal Blade Omega |
HP skill Magna mod |
Up to 1 | If you're having trouble finding enough unique weapons to fill a magna Caim grid, or if you have one with really good AX skills. |
![]() Mettle |
Normal mod Stackable ATK |
Up to 1 | Not worth spending any bars on, but if you have enough copies to uncap it, it's an excellent choice for a normal mod weapon, as it provides up to 68% normal mod.[1] |
![]() Scales of Dominion |
EX mod Cap up |
Up to 1 | While this is generally a must-slot for Caim grids, it's not worth bringing to this raid if you already have 2 EX weapons (e.g. ![]() ![]() |
Grid weapons : Primal
The comment from the Magna section about Caim grids applies for Primal grids as well.
Since Caim Titan grids are more common, I will suggest weapon quantities that fit for this setup instead.
Weapon | Role | Number of copies | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
![]() Harp of Repudiation |
HP skill Normal mod C.A cap up |
1 | Your best source of HP in grid. |
![]() Mirror-Blade Shard |

![]() Yahata's Naginata |
HP skill Normal mod Progression skill |
1 | The best Grand weapon for HP, and a strong source of elemental attack when using double Titan. |
![]() Ichigo Hitofuri |
Stamina mod Normal mod |
1 | Excellent source of damage as it brings additional stamina mod. |
![]() AK-4A |
Normal mod TA |
Up to 1 | Good source of damage as it brings a lot of normal mod. |
![]() Dawn Rising |
EX mod Earth ATK up |
1 | Pretty much the only raid where you’d use this weapon. If you’re not bringing ![]() ![]() |
![]() Yggdrasil's Bough |
EX mod Skill cap up |
1 | The best source of EX mod in your grid, and a source of cap up at 5★. |
![]() Mettle |
Normal mod Stackable ATK Garrison |
1 | More useful in Titan grids than in Yggdrasil due to its Garrison skill, but still probably not worth barring. Bring it if you have it. |
![]() Ancient Perseus |
HP skill Magna mod |
1 | Your best choice for a magna slot, since Titan will generally bring weapons with lots of DA to this raid (i.e. ![]() ![]() |
![]() Nibelung Klinge |
HP skill Magna mod |
1 | Only if you don't want to bring an Ancient Perseus, or don't have the DA weapons to compensate. |
![]() Ancient Bandages |
Enmity mod DA Garrison |
1 | A powerful gacha earth weapon, thanks to the combination of Big enmity and med garrison. |
![]() Parashu ![]() Carnwenhan |
HP skill Normal mod |
Up to 1 | If you happen to have them laying around, but don’t go out of your way to bar them. |
![]() Tribunal Thunder |
HP skill Normal mod |
Up to 1 | The F2P replacement for the above 30 Gold Moons weapons. |
![]() Scales of Dominion |
EX mod Cap up |
Up to 1 | A better option in Titan grids compared to Magna, since Titan hits damage cap much more consistently. Having more than 2 EX mods in your grid is still questionable, though. |
![]() Stratomizer |
Enmity mod Normal mod |
Up to 1 | An excellent enmity option thanks to its Big enmity skill. |
![]() Solomon's Axe |
Enmity mod Normal mod |
Up to 1 | The F2P counterpart to Stratomizer. |

Full setup examples
Please keep in mind that those setups are only indicative and are only one example among many.
You will have to tweak the grid weapon in order to reach the 30k HP threshold, and adapt your characters and summon grid depending on what you own.
Magna users will generally use double Yggdrasil or Yggdrasil x Uriel, while Titan players will prefer double Titan.
