Kindred Ultima Speedrun [

Log: www.fflogs.com/reports/9dw3mK...
Not nearly as fast as it could be as we didn't have enough time to get comfortable with the final bits of the fight, though this pull did show off nearly all the tech we came up with.
sub 11 is easily doable, we just need to not completely fumble annihilation like we did in this video, though its unclear if we'll come back to this fight later or not as we were just running it that week for fun.

I had to watch the beginning of the video twice because I was so confused how you managed to build LB3 in the first like 30 seconds of the fight.

“Skip dashes”
“Oh in Ifrit phase?”
“No, primal roulette”
Holy hell

[@thegrandpotato217]

This is incredible

[@aka_Iron]

That lb cheese is so dirty lmao, good job guys

[@MissPoplarLeaf]

Absolutely incredible time, wow. Just cleared this in PF a couple days ago and this seems insane to me

[@IrisBlaire]

This is actually nuts

[@mtbmbtmmlp9993]

very impressive

[@ShinyFalco]

God

[@derryair9419]

You...built lb3 by having everyone stand in the tornadoes and over mitigating it to JUST survive? I really want to do that now. Like UCoB Twintania but cooler.

[@Th3Crazy]

What is this an ultimate for ants

와...

[@asrea9704]

Holy shit guys

[@Xantrahx]

Respect. Careful with that though, Squeenix might catch wind of this video and nerf the LB gain or something. Nothing surprises me since the TOP drama 💀

[@acerayquaza]

Already happened. LB generation was nerfed going into Shadowbringers, but it remains the same for all pre-5.0 content. So we'll never see strats like this in anything released 5.0 or later, while UcoB and UWU both have some pretty whacky shenanigans.

[@Xantrahx]

@@acerayquaza Well damn. Kinda funny that it got nerfed in SHB when I can remember having an UWU run where we didnt accumulate enough LB to get to 3 on ultima transition lmao. Guess we were just too good on the mitigation 💀

[@acerayquaza]

@@Xantrahx Yeah that's fairly normal these days with good players. LB Generation here is 'cheesed' by having everyone survive lethal damage with shields and on-player mitigation. However, be reducing the incoming damage with Reprisal/Addle/Feint/Dismantle etc, you can lower it enough that it no longer counts as lethal, thus vastly reducing the LB generated from the attack. It's common to see PF groups on Light put no rep/addle/feint and minimal mitigation on the opening Tank Purge of Ultima, if you get it right you get about a full bar of LB off of that alone and then you're set for the rest of the fight without having to do things like Predation or Eruption mitigation checks.

[@marioharrer9999]

it got nerfed bcs things like theese were possible in SB th-cam.com/video/MPfg3vRW2AY/w-d-xo.html

[@rowletfr]

@@Xantrahx being good on mit in level 70 ultimates means only using on party mit and not on boss mit. Feint/addle/reprisal all reduce your lb gains, while something like shields and Heart of Light don't

[@Drakni]

Meanwhile when I killed this our group had to go out of our way to make sure we even had tank LB3 available for after annihilation hmmm
