This looks like it should have been here
And not in the main article:
- After June 5, 2007 update was seen to use Heavenly Strike, ignoring shadows, multiple times on Firesday, not at all on the following Earthsday. Any correlation should be confirmed.
- Heavenly Strike has been seen to be used on Earthsday.

- Can be soloed by a skilled 75DRG/WHM on Iceday, keeping Barblizzard up and avoiding Diamond Dust by using Superjump.
- Can be soloed by 75 NIN/WHM easily.
- Can be duoed by a WHM75/BLM and a BST75/NIN using Funguar with Beast Affinity.

- Can be soloed by a skilled RDM/NIN without any gear except for swords on.
- Can be solo'd by a skilled SAM/DNC in eva set w/ soboro <all avatars except diabolos and fenrir>
- Easily duo'd by DRK/WHM and PUP/DNC using the Soulsoother with Scanner, keeping Aspir Samba up. Deactivating and reactivating the automaton for MP when required and keeping hate balanced so that the PUP could take hate from the DRK with just a Waltz and Animated Flourish when Blink needed recasting. No merits, no two hours, no items required. Using Healing Waltz and Paralyna to take Paralyze off as soon as possible from the PUP to keep Soulsoother from using Paralyna instead of Cure V. Not fought on Icesday or Firesday.--Lionix 20:12, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
- 75 SMN with no merits. Using Apollo's Staff and Carbuncle Mitts for - perpetuation, and using Vermillion Cloak for Refresh. Use Yagudo Drinks to keep mp up, Astral Flow if wanted, you do not need Astral Flow to beat Her. Summon Ifrit and use Fire IV as many times as possible, when ifrit is about to die or you are low on mp, run to opposite side use Elemental Siphon, and summon carbuncle. You may get some hate so it is good to keep up Blink/Stoneskin with /whm. And especially keep up your bar- spell to hold off a lot of damage. Once you get mp re-summon Ifrit and just repeat the process. Watch out for the 50% hp for her two-hour, with Stoneskin and bar- up you should be fine, but better safe then sorry.
- Can be solo'd by a 75SCH/RDM. If you have a good amount of -dmg equipment it's possible to stand there and nuke her to death in a couple of minutes. I've never been able to pull this off, instead I use a more drawn out approach. Desert Boots (with Sandstorm) for movement and Pyrohelix can take her down without too much of a problem. I made a video and go through not only my gear (which is mostly AF or AH-buyable gear), but also my macros. The video was intended to show others how I do this and can be viewed at http://ffxi.thestoryisover.net/archives/428 - in the video, I actually screwed up several times but came out without too much problem. The fasted time I've done this `cat-and-mouse` DoT fight was in 8 minutes and of all things, on Iceday. It takes patience but I wouldn't consider it difficult. --Setherio 05:46, November 12, 2009 (UTC)
