The Final Bout/Strategies

^{How do I format this?}

Normal Party Setup

The most common strategies involve using 2-Hours, most notably Hundred Fists, Mighty Strikes, Meikyo Shisui or a group of Red Mages using Chainspell and a series of nukes with Stoneskin on. Other combinations, such as a tank and one or more Black Mages can also work.

Paladin tends to be preferred over Ninja as a tank due to the rapid speed with which the The Waughroon Kid whacks the players. Also a Paladin can use Invincible, which will help negate most of The Waughroon Kid's attacks and weapons skills. A common strategy with Paladin tanks is to bring in any two damage dealers. The Paladin runs in and uses Invincible either immediately, or once The Waughroon Kid uses Counterstance. Once the Paladin uses Invincible, the other two damage dealers use their two hours and bring The Waughroon Kid down as fast as possible.

Go into the fight, summon a Funguar pet, set your pet to attack, and cast Utsusemi: Ichi. (Remember to let your pet attack first before you, because you want the pet to tank as much as possible)

If hate is on you turn your back to the mob and recast Utsusemi: Ichi if needed until the mob starts attacking your pets again.

Use your WS once the mob uses Counterstance since he will have incredibly low defense at that point.

Apply pet food (Pet Food Zeta recommended) as needed to preserve your pet as long as possible.

Note

BST/WHM can be subsitituted for one BST/NIN and still clear within the time limit.
If you get enough time to pull off a weapon skill and Sic (seeing as the funguars miss alot), theres a good chance you will have to rush to the Armoury Crate to complete this in time.

Paladin goes in first and provokes the kid and tries to build as much hate as possible. Summoner throws out quick buffs and helps healing the pld. After about 30seconds it's time for two-hours. Samurai uses Meikyo Shisui and the Summoner uses Astral Flow. If you want a quick win have the Samurai Skillchain with himself and have the Summoner Astral Flow with the corresponding avatar. Once the Samurai uses his two hour he'll be drawing alot of hate so Paladin should use Invincible. With this strategy the fight would last an average length of 1min 30sec with our record of 1:14
