Why do people buy KC in 2017?
As a kraken THF:

Domain invasion, WKR, Omen fodder/objectives, Einherjar, WS/relic/empy/mythic trials, dynamis farming, etc. It's a fun piece to have and speeds lower content up considerably.

You can actually check ffxidb for the mobs in those fights to get a full list of what they drop. Though obviously the percentages aren't even close given they drop nothing when not campaign.

When it comes to enemy Mijin Gakure,

Is it fire element or non-elemental?
Is it magic damage or breath damage?

How to kill Volatile Cluster? NOTHING I try works to reduce self destruct damage.
RUN with 3x fire rune and valliance - still one shotted.
SAM with 2x fire carols, barfira, 2x geo with macc mab down, meva mdef up still took 4k.
NOTHING works for this consistently for me.
I can win 50% of the time as WAR SAM with 4 trusts just smashing it in the face and randomly resisting Self Destruct but have wasted 20k on losses so far and need a consistent strat that does not involve SMN or NIN. Is there one?

Do you do a multi step skill chain, ending in fudo or resolution?
SC dmg will ramp dmg in a short span. Best way is to figure out a faster way to kill.

You can actually outrun self destruct. Slower, but if you're careful it's pretty much guaranteed.

As a run, you can also try one for all (big stoneskin type of barrier) and oddyllic subterge (destroy mob macc for around 1 min).

Is throwing gil at this final stage crafting shield a realistic expectation and how much should I prepare to throw if it is?

Farming spheres sounds awful.

Self-Destruct is breath damage, so depending on how the mob's HP interacts with this version's damage cap, zerging it could very well make it weaker.

If you are good at running in and out bst probably work decent too. Most jugs tend to be fairly resistant to elemental breath dmg. And bird jesus has 50% sdt to fire

Breath is just the type of damage, it's not actually a breath attack.

The range is quite short, you can see in this video, the guy just runs away each time.

As apoc drk prebuffing I solo this with trusts easily, if on Levi I can do it for you w/e we are both on if not see if there's any around that'll help. It is breath damage though

I think it is pretty small (10 yalms?) but it is also AoE and doesn't seem to be directional. It is still breath dmg if AoE and not conal?
Pretty much all hp based attacks do breath damage type. Even weird stuff like spirits within counts as a breath attack though not resistable and no element

Probably just base though some might have merits. Don't think anyone's bothered to test it not really that much of a range. I like using Assailer Chariot to test mdt
