Machina of Destruction

The Machina of Destruction is a Trial in Final Fantasy Brave Exvius found in the Chamber of the Fallen. The Trial is already released in Japan while scheduled to be released soon in the Global version. The players face Aigaion.

Battle
The Player is to be warned Aigaion poses a significantly more challenging threat than any of the previous Trial Bosses faced so far. At a staggering 10 million of HP on his main body and 4 million on each of his arms (which can each revive a set amount of times before being permanently destroyed), the battle will likely take a while.

On a broad sense the Boss as a whole has a simple pattern of attacks, but still remains tricky. For one, Aigaion will resurrect each of its Arms a set number of times before they are truly destroyed (Left Arm can be killed 10 times and the Right Arm 3 times). Aiming at Aigaion's body first will cause the Boss to become more aggressive. As a result two methods to deal with the Boss exist. The "Brute Force" method aimed at killing Aigaion's body first (the fastest but most difficult route) and the "Slow and Steady" method (which aims to destroy both arms permanently, this can take as long as 4 hours) which makes sure the Boss is on its least aggressive phase, but it will be extensively time consuming and will likely pose a great strain in resources and MP sustenance.

All parts are immune to status ailments and Stat Breaks except SPR and have a resistance to Light and Dark by 100% with others varying (detailed below).

Aigaion
Aigaion's main function is to be the reviver. Whenever his arms are destroyed, he will bring them back a maximum of 9 times for the Left Arm and 9 times for the Right Arm. Killing the body first will greatly reduce the length of the battle but will make things more difficult. Damage-wise his body will use Genocide Beam for good but not deadly damage to the party and the normal attacks. If the Right Arm is killed once it will upgrade its number of attacks from 5 to 8 per turn.

After reaching its 70% threshold it will charge to use its World Destroyer ability, its strongest and its damage output will kill the party if not mitigated. DEF/SPR Buffs, Damage Mitigation or Reraise are useful options, as well as inflicting Water damage which will reduce its damage by half. However if Water damage is inflicted 3 times during the battle it will unleash a powerful counter so it must be used purely before World Destroyed is employed. World Destroyer will then be used once every 5 turns.

The Body resists Lightning and Wind by 50% with a weakness to Ice of -50%.

Left Arm
The Left Arm's main function is to be the killer. The only attack it will use once per turn is a single, extremely destructive attack aimed at the unit with the highest ATK in order to kill it. This attack is very much guaranteed to succeed as it deals damage well above the tens of thousand of damage. This is a unique attack that deals physical damage but is magical so only Magic Evasion helps in avoiding it. Therefore the player will have to likely revive that unit every turn either with Raise or preferably Reraise abilities.

If the Left Arm is attacked with Lightning in any way, it will counter with a powerful AoE Explosion that will wipe the party.

If a revived Right Arm is killed, the Left Arm will eject a unit from battle and then destroy itself (this doesn't work with the original Right Arm).

The Left Arm resists Ice and Wind by 50% with a weakness to Lightning of -50%.

Right Arm
The Right Arm's main function is to be the healer. It heals Aigaion for 500,000 HP every turn so any damage on the body must be much greater than that in order to truly destroy the Body. It can also employ Buffs which can be dispelled. The Right Arm only has its normal attack as an offensive move and will only act 2 times per turn unless Aigaion is dead which will increase it to 8. The Right Arm can also revive the Left Arm even if Aigaion is dead.

The Right Arm resists Ice and Lightning by 50% with a weakness to Wind of -50%.
