Opening cinematic of the two Raktavija enemies for Mission 62

You will already be familiar with how a battle against a Raktavija goes but the real challenge comes from the fact that there are two of them and how much damage they can deal out to your party collectively.

Start off by equipping your party members with accessories that can prevent magic damage. This includes Royal Armlet, Diamond Bangle, Witch’s Bracelet, etc. Then setup the following paradigms:

Relentless Assault
Diversity
Convalescence
Evened Odds (Fang as Saboteur, Lightning as Synergist, Hope as Medic)
Rapid Growth (all three team members as Synergists)

Start off in the Rapid Growth paradigm and manually cast buffs to have Fang cast Shellra on all three party members. Once completed, switch over to Evened Odds and have Fang cast Slow on both of the Raktavija. These two steps, in combination with the defensive equipment you put on your characters, should help them survive the onslaught of magic damage coming from the two enemies.

The next step should be to have your Saboteur, Fang, also apply Imperil on your primary first target. From there its just a matter of building up the Chain Gauge while having Hope heal through all of the damage (Diversity paradigm) and then switching over to Relentless Assault when one of the Raktavija is Staggered.

This battle is very much a gear and level check for your characters and, if you’re having trouble surviving the damage, you may need to go level up and come back. Consider starting the battle with Aegisol and Fortisol as well.
