Quick Summary

• Glacial is immune to non-elem damage, and absorbs ice/water/wind.
• Status effects used:
• Special note should be taken that there's a 33% chance for confusion or paralyze to be used during the ambush. Plan accordingly.
• Using Lightning damage below 50% will trigger Diffusion Laser, but also prevents the ice/water/wind imbue from the sculptures.
• Units need 380% combined ice/water/wind resist to fully immune the ambush. It's survivable with less than full immunity. Try and aim for about 275'ish from gear before buffs.
• There are 80-100% imperils to ice/water/wind during the fight.
• Only DEF/SPR break works, and only on the large birds. Small birds are fully break immune.
• In order to complete the UoC mission, you must leave two "Top" Glacons and two "Bottom" Glacons alive on the field while crossing the 50% threshold. They will then merge into two sculptures, which must be finished with a LB for the UoC.
• Glacial gains The melted ice is refreezing... during the ambush, and at each threshold for three turns (70% mitigation).

Tips

• See testimonials and discussions.

Example Strategy

• Example Team used for clearing with all missions:
  • Sacred Shield Charlotte Provoker for ST Magic
  • Folka Stop and Status Resist Buffer
  • Maritime Strategist Nichol Mitigation and Resist Buffer
  • Basch Physical Cover Tank, Backup Breaker
  • Esther & friend Esther Lightning Element Chainer

The high spirit provoker wants to keep provoke active at all times (or gear for passive provoke). The physical cover tank (evasion preferred, but not required) wants to keep physical cover active for the Wings of the Ice Bird.

Healer and Support keep up mitigations, resist, and status buffs.

Single target damage is used on Glacial until the 50% threshold, allowing the small Glacons to form into the Sculptures for the mission. Once the sculptures are active, be sure to hit them with Lightning element every round to prevent the imbue.

Finish the sculptures with a limit, then go back to finish off Glacial, keeping in mind the boss gets more aggressive below 50%, then again below 30%.
