the one thing to note about azura is that the wiki makes it sound like she is constantly changing stances and you have all this stuff coming in every turn. She doesn't use stances every turn and aside from the first set stuff, its all random. the hardest part about the fight is paying attention to the ability names used so you can spot her stance and looking up the response in the wiki.

This is why it's dumb that there's no way to view the previous actions. I'm not ever huddled over my phone playing this game. I'm almost always watching TV or talking to someone. Having to pay attention to the skills the enemy used to know what stance they are in is stupid.

Asura helps you out with this some. If it's one of her elemental stances, she'll buff herself with resistances to the elements that you need to use one of to seal. So, if she buffs her ice/fire resist, hit her with one of those to seal.
However, I don't remember if she buffs anything specific when she does the stances where you either have to guard with at least one unit or the stance where you have to not attack at all...

Alright bonus battle down. That was time consuming, but simple enough once everything was set.
I think Sakura was kind of not worthwhile, but she added at least a little damage. I didn't realize the last fight has some dispel bullshit and they took down one of my TTs but I recovered OK. Not all missions down but 5 supercites are not worth going back for.
Ended up using Rena, Rem, Basch, Loren and TTerra + friend for the bonus stage. Even at 6*, Basch never really took much damage. Rena's extra mitigation helped, and I had plenty of reraise options that I never really ended up needing. Basch died once during a threshold with Heartburn, but the next turn wasn't dangerous at all.
I spent a little time and got all of the parameter missions (except MP, will tackle that later) done. SPR was the hardest but ended up using Eiko decked out with a couple STMRs to get there. Had to respec my Carbuncle for pure SPR, will have to reset the board and get the good bar- spells back but the robe was worth the board reset.
Got pretty lucky on the free summons today, regular ex ticket got me Vincent #2 and the 10+1 got me Balthier #2. Are either of they're 7*s worth anything?
Parameter Missions done except MAG, SPR, and MP. Took down armeggedon blind first try lol

Balthier's 7*, after enhancements, is a damn good finisher.

Meh, it's hard to slot a finisher most of the time. I'll probably pass.
The pedestal change will make it much harder to miss pulling a dupe rainbow in a multipull as well. Before if you weren't paying attention to the crystals before they popped it was rather easy to just gloss over the slight difference in pedestal color.
Well balls. Ex tickets got me Elly #1. I really shouldn't try to chase a second, so thanks to the stupid 7* meta, something that should make me happy instead makes me grumpy.
I managed to get a few parameter missions, but I'm basically missing all the big ones.
I messed up my Asura run because I did not pay attention to her stances. I was more focused on seeing the damage and making sure units did not die. I will pay more attention next time. I will wait until next week to try again after I finish farming the Egg Raid. I want to rack up all of those moogles and trust coins.
I regret merging all my Rico's and Emeraldas a couple of weeks ago. I don't know what I was thinking... That will probably be a 1000+ trust coins lost.
edit: Completed all parameter missions this morning. MP was the hardest for me, but I made it work with Rem fully potted. I'm saving my EX and 10+1 pulls until next week because I don't want to get baited into pulling on the XG banners.
At the moment, the second ATK, MAG and SPR parameter missions I cannot clear. Esther is so close to the ATK one, both with a GS build or a fist weapon build, but I've got the absolute best stuff on her that I can do. I need either more TDH stuff or a stronger weapon. If I can get another Loren or get off my ass and do the new Dark Ifrit and Dark Siren (which requires doing other trials I've been too lazy to do), I can get that one done. MAG and SPR will require better units than I have and a lot better gear, too. I at least got their first ones done, so i did get a nice influx of UoC tickets.
HP was done with Gladiolus, having his STMR helped a lot, MP was done by Sylvie (I actually had to do the first MP one to get the reward materia to get her up to the higher MP mission) and I cheesed DEF with Liquid Metal Slime.

After a bit of time getting over my grumpiness I looked into Maria a bit more and... I don't get the hate? She's a mage and one of the only ones that doesn't rely on CW frames. She's an AT chainer with fire and one of her AT abilities is an 80% imperil as well, plus she can equip Flame Whip so she doesn't need an imbue. Plus her attacks bring a huge robot hand in to punch people which qualifies for my rule of cool.
I'll still get my Citan so it's fine. I was hoping to have some lapis left over to throw at Esther but I can UOC her. Maria is kinda cool and I'll have fun with her.
I ended up dumping the rest of my lapis on the Easter banner since I got all my XG units. Got an Esther on the first step, and Noctis #2 and Karlotte #1 on step four. Need some story lapis for the final step. If I get Sylvie I'll just uoc one of each h once the banner ends.

Got 600 more Lapis, at least.

Merc Ramza - Evade cheese
Awakened Rain - magic tank obviously
Rena - Healing, buffing
BSSakura - DPS
TTerra + friend - DPS

Yeah still had 2 arena orbs and it kicked me out.
Step 2: Maria
Step 3: Maria
Step 4: Maria
Step 5: fucking Maria
10+1s also had a single Elly. I'll get Citan from the raid later. Bleh.

I can't wait till this week is over and I can UoC Esther, I'm getting so jealous watching you guys talk about her.

Used the 30% ticket... Nyx.
Go fuck yourself Nyx.
special thanks to Esther for clearing the atk mission while burning NRG in the easter event.
I managed to get a few parameter missions, but I'm basically missing all the big ones.
Good news is it also gave me Ace #2. That's cool.

Same thing with MP and HP.
You have to complete a mission with the unit
HP was done with Gladiolus, having his STMR helped a lot, MP was done by Sylvie (I actually had to do the first MP one to get the reward materia to get her up to the higher MP mission) and I cheesed DEF with Liquid Metal Slime.
Not for a few months.

Edit: yeah, should’ve started with Rem
Now to find a way to get 25500 HP without Sieghard, Ignacio, Chow, DRain, or wasting resources on Gladiolus.
