Solo All Jobs Ophilia Notes

This is a Solo All Jobs guide for Ophilia. It's not as detailed as my other guides, but it can still be a reference if you do the run yourself. I recommend watching/skimming the video alongside the notes if you do this run. IMO, Ophilia has it better than Cyrus in this challenge but worse than the other travelers I've tried (Tressa/Therion/H'aanit). There's a lot of RNG in the battles, so the time can vary a lot too.

MAKE SURE TO STEAL FROM THEM ALL

Guide Victor Hollow entrance NPC if you haven't (has only 2 attacks so has highest odds of Inhibit)

Balogar (197,849) (Dagger Axe Bow Light Dark) (5 shields -> 7 shields -> 9 shields)
Summon: Victor's Hollow entrance NPC - Inhibit Defense/Spear
(It has the highest odds of ID because it only has 2 attacks, ID and Attack, compared to all other Inhibit/Enfeeblement NPCs.)
Money: 300k to 390k
Equipment: Soldier's Bow can substitute Inhibit if its 5% chance procs. Otherwise, Enchanted Rod, High House Armor, Enchanted Circlet (for SP), Force Shield, Wakeful Stone, Conscious Stone
Passives: Saving Grace, Endless Items, Eye for an Eye, Patience

T1: (Tab to Bow) Rev Jam
T2: Sidestep x4
T3: Sidestep x3
T4+: Pom L/adapt

The first goal is to unlock Bow weakness asap, which occurs at 30% Collect. We do this with HHB x4, Shad L, inhibited HHV x4 for the first break. Then HHB x4, HHB x3, inhibited HHV x4 for the second break. Then inhibited unbroken HHV x4 to bring him to 30%+. Keep up Sidesteps and use Pom L's and Rev Jams, etc efficiently and aggressively as you battle him.

If Patience procs, you can get more damage in sooner possibly. Summon when he's at 1 to 3 shields and hope for Inhibit before you break. Ideally, Summon when not at full BP.

[If Balogar doesn't unlock Bow shield at 30%, reset the fight and don't mess up the damage.]

Use x4 boost as much as possible.
if you didnt boost and get patience, dont boost that action so you can gain BP next turn as it's more efficient
if you boost and get patience, boosting that action is efficient
if you boost and get patience and have 0 BP, Rev Jam is efficient (even if already overhealed)
at 1 bp, if you need Sidesteps, just use Pom L for the 3 bp gain, even if its inefficient, there's nothing better
it's important to adapt to what he does too in fight to be optimal

Damage values and Collect %s:
unbroken HHV x4 - 1783x4 or 7.1k or 3.6%
unbroken HHV x4 w/ pdef down - 2600x4 or 10.2k or 5.4%
broken HHV x4 - 3566x4 or 14.3k or 7.2%
broken HHV x4 w/ pdef down - 5350x4 or 21.4k or 10.8%
3509 Stone - 1.77%

After Bow weakness is unlocked, keep breaking with Eye for an Eye and use Summons when possible and keep using Vets. At half health, he'll do Ice/Thunder into Runelord's Resolve/Attack. RR eats 6 Sidesteps, so keep it up. It doesn't do much damage but the attacks afterward will want to be avoided if possible. Hopefully your Summon also eats some attacks for you too.

Don't be afraid of boosting to break - it can possibly be good to skip his actions and not need to have Sidestep eat them up. Can use HHC and HHD too if needed for light/dagger too. That said, Light L/Shad L do more dmg than HH Clerics so use them if possible to break at 1 shield and hope for Patience.

TP Wispermill
Buy Primeval Robe + Adam Shield

Steorra (178,064) (Sword Dagger Fire Ice Thunder) (7 shields)
Passives - SG/Pat/EE/HaH
No NPC used but may optionally use more inhibits
Primeval Robe, Enchanted Circlet, Royal Crest + Clarity Stone, Adam Shield

Use Empoison x4 if she is at 1 tick or 0 tick. Do 6 sets of them, plus Icicle six times during Starsong. Then Light L or so for 2700 to push her under half health when turn order works for AI Loop, then break for AI loop. Use First Aid/Jams to heal. Then when looped, poison, heal, and Reflective Veil x4 every so often to speed up the KO. If you have inhibit NPC, you can also summon for more dmg from Reflect too to damage her and skip her animations.

###########################
###########################

Grind as Starseer in Captain's Bane:
- Passives: Boost Start, Elemental Edge, BP Eater, Elemental Augmentation
Grind to level 50 after getting Divine Aura

TP Riverford, guide back right alley NPC for Full Enfeeblement

Dreisang
Go as Merchant, loot his dungeon
Gear elem def - same as Steorra but replace Clarity Stone with Elem Amulet

Use Vets/Full Enfeeblement. Get him to 1 shield with Thunder L/Light L/Vets, then Enfeeble, then 5 BP and Vets x4 Vets x3. Repeat with Vets, etc.

When he activates Extreme Elemental Augmentation at half health, break him ASAP. Can use Reflective if Divine Majesty wears off and turn order lines up. Use Vets to burst him down and shouldn't survive long if NPC cooperates.

################
################

TP and go to either or both Maw of the Ice Dragon or Forest of Purgation.
Grind to Lv 53+ (up to Lv60, your choice how consistent you want Winnehild to be)
TP Grandport, go to market, Guide Creepy Antiquarian

TP Riverford, buy Platinum Armor
Optionally TP Noblecourt and buy Spirit Sword

Winnehild
Runelord - learn Balogar's Blade
Armor - optionally Spirit Sword, but otherwise Enchanted Rod, plat armor, force shield, crystal helm, Conscious Stone + Royal Crest
you'll want some Refreshing Jam/Rev Jam too. If you ran out, you can run around Twin Falls with Evil Ward to flee and Wakeful/Conscious stone as Thief and steal more from Monarch with Noisome Breath NPC again if needed, assuming the other bosses are defeated already.
Passives: Divine Aura, Saving Grace, Eye for an Eye, Patience

Repeat the battle as needed until good RNG from NPC, etc. Use Rev Jam, let Eye for an Eye do most of hte work, use Blinding Dust Bottle if needed, otherwise on breaks, set up/heal/BaloBlade/etc. Prioritize safety and defense, use Ice Runes asap and keep it up through most/possibly all of it. She does swap to Fire weakness, but she may be so low you can KO anyway.

Time is on final pop-up of gaining the last job. GG!
