Consolidated thread with all V25 strategies

PLD RUN DRK BLU BRD COR.

Editor's note: possibly relevant video, but not precisely the same strategy:
https://youtu.be/PbzU5aX8yb8

Recommended Medicine: Panacea, Vile Elixir/+1 (Bazaar Elixirs for PLD and BLU; they'll be curing a lot if MEva Down aura occurs)

Don't knock off aura. He loses access to Incinerating Lahar while aura is up which is very helpful for the DDs. Coordinate WSs that won't 3-step or create Fusion/Light. We used Torcleaver/Resolution, Savage Blade, Expiacion. The only SC that can be made is a 2-step Distortion. No 3-steps or Fusions/Lights are possible. DDs can avoid Fetter damage by standing behind Kalunga near max attack range. Have fun with knockback spam.
Lobby bubbles: Fury (DRK), STR (COR), Refresh (BLU), Refresh (PLD), Focus (RUN)

PLD - Hold adds and cure the party. Prioritize the RUN since the BLU can heal the DDs if needed. It may be difficult to get the 40% add off the DRK. However, by that time Invincible should be safe to use as a tool of getting hate on the 2nd add. The RUN shouldn't lose hate, at least I didn't.
RUN - Kalunga tank. Find a spot to tank where you won't get knockbacked. Open with Armor Break. Entrust Focus/Flabra Rayke/Tropical Crepe/SV Wind Threnody allowed for a fair chance of Armor Break's Defense Down landing at the start of the fight. I didn't have AF+4 MAcc either. Keep Refresh up on PLD and BLU. Searing Serration can potentially 1-shot you if you don't have Vallation or Valiance up, so make sure you reapply at safe times. Try to ride your Valiance timer as your DDs will appreciate it. If MEva Down aura is up, consider walking close up to Kalunga to hit DDs with One For All when Valiance falls, then move back to your wall to keep Fetters from popping on them.
DRK - Ours used Caladbolg and alternated between Torcleaver and Resolution. Fimbulvetr can open the possibility of accidentally 3-stepping and removing Aura which we didn't want to happen. Blood Weapon when 2nd add pops since you'll likely have hate on the add for a while (I honestly don't even know if BW's HP absorption takes effect on V25s. This just came to mind as I was writing up, but if it works, it'd be handy to lower the threat of the 2nd add). Can Soul Enslavement at some point under 40% as well.
BLU - Expiacion. Assist healing the DDs with White Wind if needed. Unbridled Wisdom Carcharian Verve and Diffusion Mighty Guard at the start, or consider a max SIRD White Wind set. Fulltime AoE Mighty Guard the whole fight with the help of RD/WC.
BRD - Honor March, Minuet x3, Dirge on DDs. Minnes/Ballads on PLD. Wind Threnody/Requiem on Kalunga while SV T/N's up at the start. Can either help DD or focus on reapplying dispelled RUN songs (March/Ballad/Carol, whatever the RUN's request) or a mix of both depending on your group's needs. Our BRD didn't DD at all but we still managed to beat it.
COR - Savage Blade. Crooked Chaos/Samurai rolls. Use RD/WC for resetting Diffusion and Last Resort.

PLD NIN RDM SMN BST BLU
PUP DRG WAR WHM GEO DNC
BRD COR THF BLM RUN SCH

Video:

First KI:
Lobby: Malaise, Acumen, Focus, Languor, INT
PLD + NIN make Gravitation (Shun -> Requiescat)
Shun -> Primal Rend -> CDC makes 3-step Darkness
BLU can CA with Quad. to make 3-step Darkness
NIN bursts 2-3 ninjutsu on every SC
BLU bursts when possible, otherwise spams hard.
BST uses Fatso to remove TP the whole time
RDM use enspells to do damage, use Stymie Frazzle. Silence, Slow, Para.
SMN use Diabolos to do damage with Night Terror

Second:
Lobby: STR, Haste, Barrier, DEX
PUP tanks boss with magic-resistant (RUN) puppet.
DRG does most of the damage, Impulse spam with Shining
WAR tank and also do Impulse spam
DNC keep up Box/Feather, do damage, help cure sometimes.
GEO Geo-Fury, Indi-Frailty, Entrust Barrier. BoG/Ecliptic -> Bolter -> BoG/Ecliptic, nuke on Darkness SC
WHM keep people alive

It helps if the PUP can call out when fetters spawn since it wipes debuffs off the bird. There is a cheese strat involving the GEO popping the add with a nuke then dying, which makes Ongo go idle (if no one else has touched him). In this strat, you can add another DD in place of PUP

Third:
Lobby: Int, Acumen, Malaise (RUN), Focus, Barrier (BRD)
VMarch, 2 INT Etude, Ballad, Minne. Put Nitro songs up with ~12 minutes left, drop Threnody/Elegy during this
Crooked Tactician's/Wizards
SCH always makes Gravitation and keeps Helix up. Try to find time to keep all buffs up. This is not really a race.
BLM make sure to keep up -ja stacks and get as many nukes in the window as possible, including pre-casting, ideally long nukes.
RUN and COR SC as much as possible, THF and BRD fill in when possible.
Time Subtle Sorcery when lots of SC will be coming out.
Use RD/WC/RD as strats/Rayke/Gambit are on cooldown. Only WC after all 1hrs are used, ideally sub-40
BRD should get hate on the add (Caper if needed) and kite it rather than hanging with the group.
THF uses Larceny on the second Sforzo
Spam SC hard during TR.

Having spent considerable time doing Ongo v25 lately for alts and friends, I thought
I'd do a writeup to help struggling groups and clear up some misconceptions I've seen in
previous posts. The strategy uses a single KI, and has won with both MAB and MACC down
auras -- even in the same run, even below 40%. This fight is all about maximizing Gambit
and Rayke windows, so this strategy aims to do that.

Pre-pull:

RUN will be tanking this in 1h axe. After self-buffing, they can help to Shell 5 the party.
COR starts with wizards, then follows that up with crooked tacticians (you need to hit a 5,
9, 10, or 11 if COR/RUN are to extend every single skillchain.) Right after pull, you will
apply miser's roll to yourself and the RUN.
BRD pops Clarion Call and puts up 2 marches, an etude, and 2 ballads.
SCH needs to be conservative with strategems here. You should be pulling Ongo by 13 minutes on
the clock, meaning you have roughly 4 strategems at your disposal for buffing. Use those on
AOE Protect 5, AOE+Perp Regen 5, and to get into Addendum: Black. The other buffs to put up
are adloquium on the RUN and COR, Sandstorm 2 on the SCH and BLM, Klimaform, Animus Minuo
on the SCH, and Animus Augeo on the BRD.

Pull:
The goal is to hit 75% in 3 elongated skillchains (6 strategems.) This is roughly 10:30
on the encounter timer. If you're not hitting it there, more than likely gambit/rayke timings
aren't being maximized and/or earth shots aren't hitting the high value spells.
On pull, the BRD pops SV and Nitro, applies a strong Earth threnody to the boss, re-ups
previous buffs, then Tenuto's themself with 2x mambos and 3x minnes. Once buffs are good,
they can spam Lullabies/Tier 1 threnodies on the boss in an enmity set to try and build
enmity.
The RUN applies gambit exactly when Gravitation starts, then applies Rayke as soon as
possible afterwards while extending gravitations with Ruinator.
The COR applies Miser's roll to the COR+RUN while extending Ruinators with Wildfire, and
using Earth Shot on Stone 6's.
GEO runs Indi-INT + Blaze/EA Geo-Malaise + Entrust Acumen.
The SCH opens gravitation, applies a nice helix, and nukes liberally. During a typical
skillchain, you can land T5+T4+T3+T5+T2 off of the RUN's darkness and the COR's double darkness.
The BLM free-casts Stoneja to begin stacking the buff, bursts an Impact off of the first
Gravitation, then bursts as expected. Importantly, the BLM should free-nuke in between skillchains
and continue stacking the -ja buff.

75%:
BRD begins building enmity on the add.

SCH pops Tabula Rasa immediately and begins buffing:
Accession + Perpetuance Sandstorm 2
Perpetuance Adloquium RUN
Perpetuance Adloquium COR
Refresh Klimaform

Everyone runs into the RUN
Random deal
Accession + Perpetuance Embrava
Accession + Perpetuance Regen 5

Around this time the bird starts taking damage again, so it's time to Bolster, Rayke, Gambit, get
another nice Helix up, and start pushing to the lower 40%'s. Do not push it into its 2nd 2-hour yet.

Around the time Tabula Rasa is falling, Ongo should be in the mid-to-lower 40's. You will hold it there,
within a single skillchain of 40%, until Rayke is 45 seconds from coming back up.

The COR can use this waiting period as an opportunity to reapply the same 3 rolls.

With Rayke at 45s, use as few strategems as possible to push Ongo into its second Sforzo. A useful
strategem saver is True Strike - Immanence Noctohelix. Both the SCH and BLM should have TP due to
Tacticians.

40%:
Everyone except the RUN runs far enough away to SCH SP2 the adds onto the BRD. From that point foward,
the BRD will kite the adds away from the group. The BRD needs to find an oppotunity in the next ~1.5 minutes
to reapply a strong Earth Threnody II. If they got JA's back with the first random deal it can be done now.
If not, they need to do a drive-by during the upcoming Wild Card for JA's, and reapply it then.

After 30 seconds have elapsed and the group has reassembled 20+ yalms from Ongo, the BLM can pop SP2 and get
Burn up along with a new Impact. Be sure to reapply Burn with a couple seconds remaining on SP2.

With Gambit and Rayke off cooldown naturally, do 3 elongated skillchains, and be sure to apply a new Helix.

And the end of those skillchains, run in for Wild Card.

With Gambit and Rayke reset, do 3 more elongated skillchains.

And the end of those skillchains, run in for Random Deal.

With Gambit and/or Rayke reset, do 3 more elongated skillchains.

Ongo should be long dead at this point -- likely even before the last random deal. But if it's not and
Wild Card didn't reset any 2-hour abilities, you're likely out of gas. You can abuse True Strike into
Noctohelix to try and eek out a win, or come back and try to clean up execution. Any successful 2-hour
reset from the COR should be a free win, even under unfavorable auras, considering all of the things it
gives you back (more rayke/gambits, random deals, BLM SP2, Bolster, and Tabula Rasa.)

As far as auras go, we countered MAB down with Indi-Acumen, and MACC down can be ignored entirely. Your ability
to ignore MACC down depends entirely on the BRD sticking that buffed Threnody -- so keep an eye on that. Remember
to reapply Klimaform going into the final push if MACC down was your first aura, as it overwrites it.

RUN SCH BLU COR GEO RDM

Video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2H68O_KkvM

First KI bubbles: WAR Fury, MNK Frailty, DRG STR, BRD Fend, BST Barrier
Goal is to get Bumba to 75%, lower is better. Some TP moves are getting off here and we're just healing through it. Denounce/fetters can/will kill you.

WAR: Figure out which weapon works best. We're trying to avoid SC, so keep that in mind. Guide says Savage. Use MS/BR as applicable
BRD: HMarch, 4 Minuets. Savage Blade spam. Use SV/CC
DRG: Use Camlann's. Ancient Circle/Angon, use FH/SS as applicable
BST: First use HP down Ooze, then Unleash TP Drainkiss. Use Calamity.
WHM: Debuff Bumba, keep everyone alive
MNK: Chi Blast, use Dragon Kick. Can use HF

Second KI bubbles: RUN Malaise, SCH Haste, BLU Fend, COR Precision, RDM Focus

This fight is all about hitting big Kaustras and Helices, so pretty much all focus is on that. COR can do some Darkness with Leaden (others need to help break up WS wall) at the end after the last Kaustra hits.
RUN: Gambit/Rayke for Kaustra, Hold the adds but not the boss.
SCH: Caper on BLU after add is out & RUN has Gambit'd (optional). Stone - Aero - Stone - Aero - Noctohelix SC, BLU close with CA Barbed Crescent. Land Kaustra at the end of it. Also try to get a good helix up. If Kaustra resists, try it again. Should be 80k+. May need to make Distortion for the COR at the end.
RDM: Frazzle, Silence, Paralyze, Slow, Distract on Bumba. Impact before SC. Grav/Bind/Sleep the adds. Slow/Para as possible.
BLU: Tanking Bumba, keep Magic Barrier up at all times. Use Reaving Wind to keep his TP down. For Kaustra you should have: Tearing Gust & Searing Tempest up. Plenilune for SCH before he casts Kaustra. Keep Saline Coat up and use Fantod/Jettatura for hate.
COR: Crooked Wizard's Roll, regular Monks. RD for BLU JA, Rayke, Gambit. WC once TR/Bolster go down. Fire shot after tempest. Get TP from adds and then close Darkness with Leaden at the end
GEO: Bolster for first Kaustra, need 2nd Bolster. Geo-INT, Indi-Acumen
