F/GO Notable Battles

=======
CAMELOT
=======

- Gawain
NP Gauge reduction skills are fired at Gawain whenever he has either 2 or 4 bars on his gauge. If his gauge is full, have Lv100 Support Euryale fire her NP. If her NP isn't charged, have her use her charm skill on him. If that's on cooldown, switch her to the backmost member. If the switch already occurred and there is no more back row left, then eat the NP; Gawain would have been battered enough by this point that Support Euryale can easily finish him off.

- Mordred
Just like how Euryale destroys Gawaian, Mordred has a natural counter in Support Kuro. Factoring in Kuro's Dodge, the Master Stun, and Kuro's ability to survive a single CBA, she basically gets four turns against Mordred in a 1v1. Which is plenty enough, since her NP charges up super fast while she spams her NPAA Brave.

- Tristan
His attacks have such high hitcounts that you can just fire NPs off left and right. But the MVP here had to be SaberShiki, who kept tanking his hits (despite being weak to them) while hitting back hard on his weakness too.

- Lancelot
Dantes + [S] Jeanne Alter destroy him. Hell, with her Buster Boost, Jeanne can easily exceed 100k with just a BAB Brave.

- Amon Ra
Screw you, seriously. I remember starting with Dantes and Support Jeanne Alter, because their Resistance helped them survive. I switched one of them out during Amon Ra's NP turn, most likely Jeanne Alter. Anyhow, this was the first battle in which I started abusing my skills like crazy, instead of "saving" them for NP turns (either mine or the opponent's). This helped a lot, because it was hard to gauge exactly whether any unit will survive long enough to fire a NP. [S] Jeanne Alter had 10/10/10 skills anyway, so her cooldowns were short. In the end, she had only 1 HP and was alone against Amon Ra, finishing him off with a final BAB Brave.

- Ozymandias
(Note: This battle is what incited me to begin levelling my skills, and was the first battle in which I used Mashu Kouhailight since London)
Party: Iskandar, Kouhailight, Jack, Dantes, Kerry, [S]AssassinShiki
Although Ozzy was the main boss in each battle, it's his Caster partner that endangered my Assassins, so my top priority was to have Iskandar finish off the Caster partners with the Origin Bullet CE. Kouhailight kept everyone alive longer with her amazing defensive skills, while the Assassins dispatched the Ozzies. After the Sphinx in the second battle died, I had him switched out with AssassinShiki. For the third battle, I had Kerry Scapegoat AssassinShiki, who dodged Ozzy's turn 1 NP. Due to card deals, I couldn't really hit Nitocris until her NP gauge was maxed, at which point I was lucky to pull off Iskandar's NPBB Brave with all three of his skills + Master Atk boost. The final Ozzy still had a lot of HP, but Kerry and AssassinShiki were able to gang up and destroy him.

- Lartoria (final)
Party: Kouhailight, Tamamo, [S]NeroBride, Kerry, SaberShiki, Dantes
Frontline played a defensive Arts game. Tamamo slowed down Lartoria's NP charge with her first skill. I tried to time it so that I could fire all three NPs (Kouhailight -> NeroBride -> Tamamo) on the same turn as Rhongomyniad, which barely scratches my party after Lord Camelot and Kouhailight's first skill. I switch Nero out when it's dangerous, and have Dantes and Kerry drop Lartoria's NP Gauge even further. SaberShiki tanks Lartoria pretty well, but Nero was the one doing most of the work here.

BABYLONIA
=========

- Tiamat 15-turn survival
Party: Dantes, NR, [Story]Merlin, Kerry, (can't remember the others)
Okay, I didn't realize just how OP the Story Merlin was when I selected him, oops. The idea was to have NR and Kerry spam their NPs.

- Quetzalcoatl
Party: Dantes, Berserkerlot, [S]Jack, Atalanta, Kiritsugu, Jack (unsure of exact back-row order)
Quick-based frontline whacked Quetzy-nee a bit. Berserkerlot hit 100% quickly with a Kaleidoscope, firing a Knight of Honor, and continued whacking. Somehow he survived for three turns, making the most of the attack boost, before he died. Dantes and [S]Jack managed to fire their NPs on the same turn, allowing Maria the Ripper to fire at Overcharge Lv2 after the defense drop from Chateau d'If, which was pretty sweet. [S]Jack died too quickly though, but the back row had an easier time with survival, with Kerry firing his NP multiple times, greatly slowing down Quetzy-nee's NP Gauge. Only Atalanta did not fire her NP, but she sponged hits pretty well, and provided a valuable Quick Boost in Crossing Arcadia to other Quick NPs (forgot exactly which ones).

- Gorgon
Caress of the Medusa hits hard and... always stuns? It also chains well into Jack's NP, which gets an Overcharge boost and maintains the Quick chain. Kerry also spammed his NP a lot iirc. Everybody gains so much NP from Gorgon's regular attacks. Jack's second skill may have helped prevent Gorgon from firing criticals too much.

- Berserker Ushi x 6
Party: Dantes, Kouhailight, Ilya, Berserkerlot, Taiga, [S]JeanneAlter
The first four members had Kayneth (yes, I had four of those... five, actually) while Taiga had Sea of Reed. Basically, invincibility was being abused. Both Ilya and Dantes were able to fire their NPs even, the latter of which was especially useful due to being AoE. Dantes' third skill and the Master Stun skill were also strategically fired to suppress NPs. Kouhailight's defense boosts also meant that she and Dantes (both max Fou'd or almost so) could actually eat a single Ushi NP once, which further improved survivability. Poor Kouhailight managed to reach 98% at the start of a turn, before she had to eat a NP, so no Lord Camelot...

- Ushi x 3
Party: Dantes, Kouhailight, Iskandar, Nursery Rhyme, SaberShiki, [S]Iskandar (I ignored the ordering for obvious reasons)
All with NP gauge boosting CEs except the empty-handed Kouhailight. And yet, everybody fired their NP only once, except Kouhalight (I think she used it twice?). I didn't use Dantes' NP Gauge dropping skill because I wanted the three Ushis to align their NP gauges at the same time, allowing Kouhailight to Taunt + Self-Invis. Not much else to say, except that Def-dropping AoE NPs are great, and Kouhailight's first skill and Lord Camelot do wonders for party survival.
