Odin v2 Strategy Discussion

[Ikonic]

Well, after our first attempt of only getting to about 50% and since the event is new figured I'd post here to start a discussion. Feel free to post links or info you find elsewhere about what we can do to make this event more successful.

Our first attempt we went with this setup:
WAR, MNK, MNK, NIN, DRK, WHM
BRD, COR, RNG, COR, RNG, SCH
PLD, PLD, PLD, WHM, SCH, SMN
WAR, BLM(mule)

Fight details:
Yggr is what spawns adds, and the full list is:
90% Kai, 80% Yggr/adds, 70% Kai, 60% Yggr/adds, 50% Kai, 40% Yggr/adds, 30% Kai, 20% Yggr (no adds), 10% Zant

Geirrothr is closer to 20k aoe than 10k btw, and Kai is not single target, it's just a small frontal AoE.

Pointing out that Kaustra is very significant DoT and greatly outdamages the Regen from Embrava, so you need to actively cure people quite a bit if he casts that because it cannot be erased.

Setup Thoughts:
- poison pots for healers (many sleepgas from Odin)
- healer+support+4 dd pts x2
- 1-2 PLD tanks w/refresher in pt
- if multiple CORs split them up for multiple pt buffs
- BRD double march + madrigal for melee pts
- 2 SCHs for embrava entire run
- 1 SMN for main DD pt (could have 2 if multiple pts and enough members)
- 1-2 PLD tanks for Odin, THF or NIN can kite/hold adds as needed until melee kill them

Strategy Thoughts:
- DD pts on Odin full-time except for when adds pop, then split off and kill adds 1 by 1. resume dmg on Odin afterwards
- DD spread out around Odin (at least on sides) to avoid conal dmg, same with healers
- possibly THF in RNG pt to take hate and keep it from bouncing as much

Might wanna take a drg if possible for angon to lower defense every 3? mins. DR should be there so we won't be just putting a gimp random drg in for angon only.

Mafia from BG says:

My group does this:

WAR WAR WHM SMN THF (rotate slot) - Odin DD PT
WAR WAR WAR RNG WHM (rotate slot) - Add PT
SCH SCH COR BRD PLD

Embrava all 3 PT at start, COR and BRD swap around the rotate slots.

Only the Odin DD PT touches Odin, the RNG also shoots it between adds.

The 2 DD's on Odin need to be fully cured when the Kai TP move is going to go off, or they die. If they die drop them from main PT and put a DD from add PT in their spot.

When adds pop, PLD Diaga's and Add PT all assist someone to kill (the adds aren't a joke, they can one shot you). We do not kill any adds under 50%.

The 2 DD's should take it and hold it around 50%. Fully buff the add PT (Embrava / Minuets / COR Rolls) and the 2 main DD if possible. At this point the 2 DD's should push it to 49% so it uses Kai. At this point, the add PT should be PD'd and zerg it down. DD's should spread out so 2 people are ever hit by Kai while zerging. We never rest for its final KO move, it dies before it finishes its sequence.
