Story

The four lights of hope -- Orience, the land of crystals, and of the saviors "Agito".

Many a day has passed in that distant world, and it is now Gla. XXII, 842 RG. Having been charged with defeating a new weapon developed by the Milites Empire, Class Zero, the young warriors of the Vermillion Bird, head to the facility where this magitek armor is being produced.

As the fighting breaks out, though they originally saw the Militesi Empire as an invading nation, the warriors against whom they fought battled with stalwart conviction. Class Zero, as wise and powerful as they were, saw themselves being called monsters by these imperial warriors who fought for nothing but their country.

How might Rain and his friends think of these differing ways of life. All that is sure is that they must do all they can to protect this moment in history.

Exchange

You can find King Mog or Mog Minister in the Farplane to exchange event currencies with time-limited items.

Event Tips

• In phase 2 of Adv, Pro, and Elt you can also encounter Golden Bomb which drop 250.
• Nimbus may appear as a rare encounter after the boss in either PRO or ELT dungeons, dropping 2,500 if you kill him.
• You can steal 1 White Phantoma from Heavy Gunner, 2 from Colossus, and 2 from Lieutenant Colonel Charlot in PRO.
• You can steal 2 White Phantoma from all non-Imperial Soldiers in ELT, including Golden Bomb.
• You can steal 350 White Phantoma from Nimbus in PRO and ELT.
• You can easily tell if Nimbus will appear or not in the level, based on the number of phases. For example ELT will display X/6 rather than X/5 as you progress.

Other Resistance
Immune to Gravity and Death. Break resistances: 0% (ATK), 90% (DEF), 0% (MAG), 100% (SPR), 90% (Stop).

Abilities

• Well done pests!: Physical damage and chance to inflict Paralysis to all units
• Mercy will be remembered: Lightning damage to a single unit
• Ashes to ashes, dust to dust: Lightning damage and decrease DEF/SPR to a single unit
• Behold the Brionac!: Damage and may inflict Paralysis to a single unit
• Magic interception systems activated - Lightning damage to all units
• Serious damage confirmed: Inflicts Paralysis and Blind to all units. Used only on the first turn if HP <30%.

Strategy

• Brionac can inflict paralysis. Having units such as Ling, Refia, Luka, or Tilith is effective at removing paralysis from the party. Equipping a Jeweled Ring, Ribbon, or Discernment is also helpful.
• Barthundara, Barthundaga, Thunder Shield or Ramuh can reduce the damage taken from Brionac's Lightning based attacks.
• Brionac is susceptible to blind and paralysis. Using Ling's Dance of Death or Noctis's Fire Flask is useful. Also, use Exdeath's LB (bring units with Entrust to help fill the gauge).
• Chaining Lightning-elemental weapons, spells, and abilities can inflict serious damage to Brionac.

Abilities

• .... - Does nothing
• Always remember this pain... - Instantly KO one unit (twice per turn)
• Ruined all the fun... - Escapes from battle. Used on the 3rd turn regardless of action(s) taken.

Strategy

• Nimbus can be stolen from once for 350 White Phantoma
• If you think you are not able to defeat Nimbus within 3 turns, simply guard until it escapes the battle. Nimbus will attack if it or its guard is damaged in the first two turns. (You can safely steal from Nimbus however.)
• Killing the Imperial Guard on the third turn avoids retaliation (since Nimbus will escape regardless). The guard drops 25 White Phantoma in ELT if killed.

Farming Tips

• Farming a higher difficulty may not be worthwhile if beating it requires bringing fewer bonus units. In other words, you may get more event currency by farming PRO with an extra +50% unit than ELT without it (ignoring Golden Bombs and Nimbus), as shown in the table below:

Distribution of drop quantities, excluding rare encounters and stealing.

# Units in ELT	Bonus in ELT	per NRG
		ELT (203+8)	PRO+50% (146+5)
3	150%	40.58	45.30
3	225%	52.75	56.63
4	200%	48.69	52.85
4	300%	64.92	67.95
5	250%	56.81	60.40
5	375%	77.10	79.28

Although the above table is based on the average of the lowest and highest drop quantities, such would only be valid if the non-guaranteed drops had exactly a 50 percent chance of occurring; based on samples collected by CodeHydro (right), such does not appear to be the case.

Normal ELT runs (n = 124) averaged at 200.3 and normal PRO runs (n = 11) averaged at 141.9. Excluded ELT runs (n = 8) had 3 Nimbus and 6 Golden Bombs (one run had both). No rare encounters in PRO samples.

• Exdeath with 440 MAG can clear PRO solo with 3x Dual Cast Thundaga, and a Dual Cast Meteor on the boss battle.
• Dark Fina with 450+ MAG can clear Pro with 3x Dual Cast Ultima & Osmose, and Dual Cast Ultima x2 on the boss battle.
• If you're farming and have idle units, now is a good time to grind trophies. Steal success is almost guaranteed, just target non Imperial Soldier units. You can also potion spam, or have the idle units cast cheap spells or abilities. Check the trophy guide page for other ideas.
