Mirror Images/Summoner

Category:GuidesCategory:Strategies
*Summoner: WHM subjob, 5-7 Yagudo Drinks, 1 Fish Mithkabob, Musketeer's Pole as weapon, Life Belt, Phanlax Rings, Battle Gloves, Crow Armor, NPC set to Stalwart Shield, several ethers/mulsums. Buff to full (Aerial Armor + Earthen Ward), use Thunderspark when it is ready (causes 10-200 damage and causes paralyze effect). Most of your time will be spent healing your NPC, so you won't have avatar out very much at all except for bloodpact moves. When Vassago is at 15% use Astral Flow Bloodpact with anything but Fenrir or Diabolos, although this is all or nothing. An resist with Astral Flow Bloodpact will mean a defeat for you.
*Alternatively, since the Elemental Siphon patch, as well as the ability to wear uncapped gear scaled down, this fight is tremendously easier. Using the Stalward Sheild and Ramuh's Thunderspark is still recommended, but the suggested gear is not. Simply use what you are currently using and you should be fine. Most of the time is spent healing your NPC, but not once was Astral Flow required, and MP did not run out. I used two Yagudo Drinks, but even they were not required. Simple easy fight.
