FFXIV - The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate) - SAM POV (UWU, LPDU, Endwalker Patch 6.18, 1857.3 rDPS)

Freestyle Samurai With Zero Raid Responsibility Clears Content (Vol. 11)

0:00 Garuda
2:41 Ifrit
4:25 Titan
6:40 Magitek Bits
8:03 The Ultima Weapon

Commentary (2.47 GCD Crit set, 2.22 GCD with haste):

Can squeeze out some extra Medidate uses during phase and trio transitions.
No, I do not miss Kaiten.

2:16 Hagakure to setup 3 Sen opener on Ifrit. Ideally Garuda dies immediately after spending all Meikyo charges.
3:46 2nd Ifrit Higanbana ticks for ~30s. Worth applying if a Midare is not lost before Ultima.
4:08 Easy to lose a Meikyo charge here if Ifrit dies too fast. May need to overwrite a Sen or use the last charge on Titan.
5:36 Panic Enpi: in general, stay away from the party to increase the chances of accessing a rear Landslide.
6:40 Setup 3 Sen 100 Kenki opener. Under haste buff, can get 3-4 GCDs on Bits and 5-6 GCDs on Lalabread (or 3 if LBing).
9:07 Unnecessary Enpis: can max melee near the intersection of Ultima's landslides. Delaying the Higanbana refresh is acceptable assuming a fast Suppression push. Meikyo should not have been delayed and does cost a use with this killtime. Alternative comfy option: before Radiant Plume cast, use Kasha/Gekko combo instead of Yukikaze combo and/or prepare Enhanced Enpi (Yaten after Eruption baits). This delays the rotation by up to 2 GCDs and Higanbana can be refreshed from the wall.
9:26 💖
10:15 Unnecessary Enpi: treating Ifrit afterburn like Hot Tail, can max melee just behind the flank marker until 2nd Landslide goes off, then dodge into Wicked Tornado safe spot.
10:23 Should not drift Ikishoten/Guren out of raid buffs, but did not lose a use here.
13:34 Press F to pay respects ;.;
