9/25/17 Noctis Solo Shadow of the Empire Carry

Hi. Here's how you use my Noctis to solo carry Shadow of the Empire.

Take three hide units, Jake, Shine, Xon, Soleil, Juggler, Shadow, Artemios, Miyuki, Hayate, Paul, and Montana all have a hide ability.

Bring Elixers, Turbo Ethers, Mega Ethers, Chocolates, Tent, etc. You will need them however this will stop you from getting to 10 lapis from the "No Units KO" mission.

The build has 100% physical evasion and 150% flame resist. This is needed because the Flame Dragon debuffs your flame resist by 50% when you use Blizzard Flask, however, you'll need to use Blizzard flask (almost) every turn so that he doesn't use Revitalize and heal higher than your damage per turn.

The only fights you need to worry about is Experiment No. 2, and the Rodendro Plant. This is because both of these fights use magic damage which Noctis cannot evade. However, with recovery jump and damage warp, you should be fine. Much like Antenolla, don't kill the flower before killing all the parts of Rododendro Bud, it's recommended to kill them in the following order: Ivy (B) > Root (C) > Leaves (D) > Main Body (Flower) (A).

Try to keep as much mana as possible on Noctis for your final fight with the Flame Dragon.

Once you are up against him, make all of your units hide and spam Blizzard Flask until your mana runs dry. This will happen eventually because I don't have a second Lucii ring and you'll get less Holy counters (which give back 40 MP.) If your MP falls below 45, allow one of your hide units to bring it back up and continue. When your hide units die, you should have Flame Dragon to low enough HP where you can use Recovery Jump to get enough MP back and still deal more damage to Flame Dragon than he can heal each turn.

Remember, you MUST use Blizzard Flask on any turn that you have more than 45 MP because if you do not use Blizzard Flask, he will use Revitalize and heal 50,000 HP on each turn. This will be a very long and annoying fight, but the HP 15% materia and the 10% trust moogle are very valuable. Good luck!

By the way, Sailor Mercury is best girl.
