While the sword is pulling, the red is fluffy

I think this is the key :p

That's a failure from the original screenshot in capturing the correct character.

フうズル (second character is "u", making it fuazuru)
vs
フラズル (second character is "ra", making it furazuru)

Translator couldn't handle it, hence fua = fluffy.
Maybe one day we can rely on google sensei.

Google sensei is pretty accurate when it comes to European languages (English, French etc) but soooo bad at Chinese/Japanese.

How'd "RDM casts frazzle" got translated to "red is fluffy" is beyond me.

Ran it a bunch in VD this morning.

General roles:
1-2 dd
1 tank
2-3 support with aeolian edge and circle blade spam.
1 healer with elemental seal silence for the dahak.

Open pull with tank, sending to corner to get slapped around, healer es silences dahak, dd drop dahak first then dd target boss full damage.
support target rangers for tp and spam on those so not to interrupt dd chaining off.
Hate reset will throat stab tank. just heal up and save a hate tool for it.
Easy month.

The WHM I was with yesterday managed to land silence on first cast on VD in both attempts.
I as GEO/RDM managed to land Silence on first cast but I had indi-focus on. Not sure if this is all a streak of good luck or if it's really that easy but it's worth investigating maybe, before considering the absolute necessity for stuff like Elemental Seal.

With that said, someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's 4 main ways to handle the Dahak.

1) A single DD destroys it in mere seconds with SCs or CDs or whatever else. He will hardly have time to use Nullsong but it's still a potential risk

2) Someone silences it. He will still be able to use TP moves but no Nullsong.

3) DD on Dahak has enwater granted by a SCH/RDM or a RDM/SCH

4) GEO carefully casts timed water1 on the Dahak as it's being meleed by the DD, making the risk of Nullvoid very low if not even close to none.

What is the purpose of the constant stream of AoE btw?
I get 2 trolls get their Aura removed by physical AoE, the other 2 trolls are procced by magical AoE.
Ok so what? What does removing those trolls aura do?
Prevent the main boss from using the dangerous TP moves, like the one that gives you losta unremovable 7+ mins debuffs?

And I guess you are supposed to TP on the trolls, to reduce the TPfeed on the main boss?

Aura gives regen and dt and opens terribad tp moves

TP feed on the boss is suboptimal, yes, doesn't really matter but headsnatch can be bad.
Also that half a second where it has tp and aura starts, instant Pleiades Ray. whomp whomp.

On vd is it all auras on the 4 ads?
2 magic and 2 physical?
Or is it simpler and it's just proc and remove on 2 of the same type or 2 types of aura?

I am wondering if someone kites the boss and another tanks the adds.
if 2 people with AOE ws magical and physical can remove the auras.

Water damage like any Dahak/Dragon will keep reducing its tp right?

Since I found the old posts a bit confusing and since I had vague memories of doing this the AoE WSs way and the BLM death MB way, I did several successful runs yesterday and want to add very detailed way to successfully perform this on VD.
Some of the steps I'll mention might not be necessary, if you see any please let me know so I can fix the post.

Overall flow of the fight
1) Pull them behind initial corner
2) Slaughter Dahak
3) Kill megaboss (Bruiser)
4) Kill the adds


Now a bit more details on the key steps
Killing the Dahak

Killing the boss

If you kill boss, you basically just won the ambuscade.


Potential setups:
I find this ambuscade has a lot of flexibility in term of jobs, as long as you achieve the goal of the physical and magical AoE which is clearly the key.
An example can be
1x Tank
1x BRD
1x COR
1x healer
2x DDs

Don't really need a WHM. The most dangerous AoE damage is Body slam from the Dahak, which is dead fast. I've done some runs with the BRD/WHM healing lol, just saying. This is especially true if you have a PLD tank, thanks to Majesty.
Speaking of tank, both PLD and RUN work no problem.
In several of my runs we also had a RDM, who was using circle blade and hasting while the BRD healed.
This also works with a single DD, provided he's properly buffed and he's a strong one.
I've done runs without a tank, but at that point you really need a proper healing and I found it was a bit messier, especially at start.


edit:
Another small detail, someone asked if the 2 jobs using the AoE WS should TP on the trolls or on the megaboss.
Pros and cons both ways. If you decide to TP on the trolls, make sure it's the RNG ones because the PLD ones can use invincible, which would make you unable to gain TP.
Also make sure to have Barfire and Baramnesia, the RNGs can use a move that gives amnesia, making you unable to use the AoE WSs.

Notes for RDM debuffs on megaboss (Bruiser):

I was easily able to land Sabo Frazzle3, Slow2, Paralyze2, Blind2.
Gotta say slow and para kinda make for a noticeable difference.

Could never land Distract3, not that I really tried that hard, but it always got resisted. Might be possible with macc food and/or other buffs and/or elementalseal I dunno, but I suspect you'd need Stymie to land it.

If anyone cares, no aura has to be up for Head Snatch.
