Ok, so what's the best strategy for these shao long bastards? I 5 starred the guy that drops the gold watch, but I can't seem to put a dent in this guy... |
The adult adamantoises (tougher ones)? Use pre-fight buffs, instant summon, debuff the head and Rav/Rav/Rav till 900% stagger or so then Com/Com/Com and Highwind with Fang as stagger about to end, sometimes have time to Rav/Rav/Rav againa nd stagger a second time before it gets up. Anyway, as it begins to stand use an elixer to regain TP and summon again, repeat process.
Real cheap and real easy way to kill one.

No not those guys. I already took a couple of them down. I'm talking about the little bastards.

I forgot exactly what I did, but here's the rough outline... I think I used Fang, Vanille, and Lightning.
Start fight in SEN/SEN/SEN, the little bastard will try to jump you.
Syn/Syn/Med, get everyone to have the standard haste, protect, shell combo, and enfire. Enfire is really, really important, especially for your big damage dealer, who I'm assuming is Fang.
Sab/Sab/Med. Get Slow, Imperil, Bio, Deprotect on the guy. You'll probably end up with Deshell because the AI likes to cast it, which I dont think matters too much. Try to use a main that'll cast the spells the AI wont cast right away, the AI usually likes to do Deprotect, Deshell, then Imperil I think.
Rav/Rav/Rav. 999% stagger.
Com/Com/Com, for damage dealing obviously.
At some point during Rav/Rav/Rav stage or Com/Com/Com stage, you may need to heal. I do Com/Med/Med. Repeat this as necesssary, and switch to SEN/SEN/SEN as necessary. This wasn't exact since it's from memory, but should be a good guideline. Also, General's Belts or whatever the physical damage reduction accessory was helps a lot. I had at least 30% phys dmg reduction on all my party.
