Wild ARMs 4 Raquel solo - "Trump Card"

This is a segment from my Raquel solo run. The rules are as follows:

-Characters other than Raquel can only Guard.
-Characters other than Raquel must be under level 10 (this is done by equipping the Monopoly Gourd on Raquel).
-Characters other than Raquel must use their initial equipment. No Alter Parts may be used for Jude's ARM.
-No items that can be only gotten through New Game+ carry overs can be used.

This is done on New Game+ only to have access to the Monopoly Gourd to keep other characters' levels in check. Nothing carried over from the previous playthrough will be used.

This is the fight against Brionac's "Trump Card". He shows up in Dievas Airport.

This fight might seem impossible on a solo, but it really isn't. Trump Card starts out by halving everyone's HP, which is basically just a waste of time. After that, the real fight starts.

Trump Card is immune to all damage/status/whatever, you can't touch him, and every time you try, he counters. However, he only has 12 bullets. On his turn, he'll use two bullets to attack, dealing 9999 damage that cannot be avoided, spelling death for anyone. If you try to attack him, he'll counter for a small amount of damage and use up one bullet.

So what's the strategy? Just attack. Over and over until he runs out of bullets. With the best defensive armor and all GC points spent into class levels, Trump Card's counter will deal 0 damage to Raquel. In addition, attacking activates Rapid Attack (even if it isn't displayed on screen). Equipping a Goat Doll insures that if Trump Card does shoot Raquel and kill her, she'll still live and immediately get another turn. It ends up a really close fight, but is doable.

Setup:
Level 55
Great Sword - 1420 ATP, 2 ACN, -5 HIT
Power Wall - 445 DFP, 320 MGR, +5 EVA
Goat Doll - One time revival to 1 HP.

Awesome job on this! O.O

(Took me forever to beat this fight. XD; )

Also...sorry to ask this again, but do you also happen to know the name of this battle theme as well as Lambda's?

[TalaysenFBW]

Thanks!

The music for this fight is called "Catch, Call, and Awaken". Lambda's fight uses "Falling Stardust, Dancing in the Wilderness".

wow that was fast. it took me 5 mins to beat him. even at level 70 (i actually beat one of the lv 90 normal monsters at lv 55 and i got a 10 lv boost for everyone (i didn't do a solo but i may with jude or yulie. yulie may be the toughtest solo ever, especially since i can't use any of the 12 sheriff stars i managed to make)

[elgringo08]

He shouldn't waste his bullets like that

He will need them later lol

[zolo1243]

i've had him do less than 9999 damage to jude once when he was blocking.

No probs! And thanks much for telling me!

I've been searching for the songs since this game first came out. xD
