Octopath COTC: Saint Sazantos EX3 - 5T

It's a bit RNG dependent, but not too bad:

If he locks bow weakness, OR wind + lighting weaknesses, then Ochette/Shana will not be able to shave the necessary shields, restart

If he uses the blind AoE and it blinds Ochette/Hujheb/Shana, then it's a restart. I'm using Cosmic Armor (30%) + 50% blind/status resistance on Ochette (Shelby A4 behind) and Hujheb for 80% total, and 100% blind immunity on Shana (as she doesn't need P.atk stat accessories) to mitigate the RNG here

If Shana's Raging Windbolt doesn't add to and extend P.def down (chance per hit), it's a restart

There might also be dependency on hitting enough crits with Yunnie/Kilns, but I don't know for sure. (the other two have extended Dead Aim thanks to Lucetta/Mabel)



Bargello A4 is the only gacha A4

Kilns/Ochette have maxed BoTL P.atk, with Hujheb and Yunnie at 15 and 10. (Yunnie and Hujheb are also not quite max level)

Speed wise, Yunnie has to be faster than Hujheb, Hujeb has to be faster than Shana, and Shana has to be faster than Ochette

Shana and Ochette also have to be faster than Creator Sazantos (to break him on T4 before he uses the buff/debuff cleanse)

Kurtz A4 (debuff duration) + Durand A4 (3T initial speed down debuff) helps reduce the speed requirement.

Billy has both of these and Hammy's A4, which applies an extra icon (Tome res down) for 2T, to help activate Yunnie's 16 icon doublecast, along with Varkyn's A4

(Heinz A4 + Paula A4 would have also worked for another icon, but I forgot to equip them xD)

Changes can be made for sure, e.g. Signa U10 instead of Billy (my Signa is U9)

That's all I can think of to type out right now
