Proto-Ultima

Proto-Ultima is a much tougher version of your friend from Promathia Mission 6-4. It is susceptible to Slow, Paralyze, Blind, Elegy, Gravity, Stun.
Unlike the mission, it does regenerate if you wipe and reraise .
If you pull hate outside of the square Proto-Ultima starts in, it will use Draw In.
It has all your favorite attacks from the mission, and some new ones. None of them are slow enough to stun.
  • Phase 1
  • Phase 2 (80% HP)
  • Phase 3 (60% HP)
    • Antimatter, Dissipation, Nuclear Waste, plus
    • Equalizer: 10' AoE damage (~600-800), absorbed by Utsusemi
    • Holy II (spell): Single-target Light damage (~800) cast after each TP attack, not necessarily on the tank..
  • Phase 4 (40% HP)
  • Phase 5 (20% HP)
    • Armor Buster, Energy Screen, Mana Screen, Holy II, plus
    • Citadel Buster: 30 second countdown, followed by extreme targeted 20'(?) AoE (Light?) damage (~900-1700), ignores Utsusemi
      • You can use /assist to determine Proto-Ultima's current target.
      • Proto-Ultima's current target will be drawn in throughout the countdown, so you can also have everyone run away from Proto-Ultima and determine the target by who gets drawn back in.
      • The target of Citadel Buster is not set at the beginning of the countdown. If someone steals hate during the countdown that person will will be the target of Citadel Buster (and will be drawn in if they try to run).
      • 10 seconds is plenty of time to get out of range, so there's no need for melees to start running at "30...".
      • BLMs can nuke at maximum range right up to the end as long as the target isn't between them and Proto-Ultima.
      • When you run, run up onto one of the ledges where you entered the room.
        • Don't go through the door, that just makes it take longer to get back and start doing damage again.
        • But also don't stop on the ramp; if Proto-Ultima is in the corner closest to you, he will still hit you there.
[edit]
Suggestions
  • There's plenty of time to farm the chests before engaging Ultima.
  • It's critical to keep doing damage during Phase 5. If everyone runs away immediately when you see "30..." you won't do any damage and Ultima will just pick you off one at a time. Try to keep doing damage until "10...", then run away, and if you get drawn in keep attacking until you get Busted.
    • If you have Gravity from Armor Buster, you'll need to run sooner, of course.
  • Damage 2-hours should be used early in Phase 5, before the DDs start to get killed off.
  • Summoners are particularly effective since they can choose either magical or physical damage depending on if it has Energy Screen or Mana Screen on.
  • BLMs should not get hit by Ultima's AoE attacks; the range of most of them (20') is slightly shorter than casting range (21-22'). If they keep Ultima just outside the outer ring of their radar they should be out of range of the AoEs but still able to cast.
    • It is also possible and desirable for other mages to stay out of range, but that requires that the tanks and melee DD not stand on the opposite side of Ultima from the mages; if they are on the far side the WHMs need to move into AoE range to cure them.

Somthing intresting that I notised yesterday when we where fighting Ultima. When it starts to count down from 30 and down hate seams to be reset at that point. I did a BP with Garuda for 500 DMG and Ultima was all ower Garuda. I think if I did the BP at about 10~15 sec that Garuda wuld be the one to get killd. I have to test this next time.
