==Very Difficult==
'''RUN THF COR WHM BRD SMN'''.
:Usually about a 3 minute kill, I think.

'''BRD''' does Honor March, Minuet, Light Carol, and Scherzo.

'''COR''' does Chaos+Samurai and spams Savage Blade.

'''SMN''' does Hastega2, Earthen Armor, Crystal Blessing, and Crimson Howl.
:May need to re-apply Hastega2 if Cait casts Slowga.
:Ecliptic Growl is a nice bonus as well, as Cait can dispel things.
:I suggest using Apogee to speed up the ward rotation at the start, it takes a while to get them all up but you want a fast kill once you start.
:*Besides those buffs, SMN is free to Volt Strike or whatever they fancy.

'''THF''' spams Rudra, trick attacking the RUN when possible. And most importantly, git dat Treasure Hunter.

'''RUN''' uses [[Lionheart]] if they have it, and uses [[Tenebrae]] x3.
:After buffs, Flash Cait, and pull it back to the start.
:[[Valiance]] after pull.
:When Cait Sith uses Benediction, [[One for All]] + [[Battuta]] because the fight gets harder.
:I used RUN/SAM, and just did Flash Foil on pull then Resolution spam the rest of the time. With the THF there, you shouldn't lose hate to the COR.

'''WHM''' needs to Cure quickly, with EA+Scherzo up it's basically impossible to get one-shotted but you can still sometimes take heavy damage.
:If the RUN's One for All wears off, they can jump in with Sacrosanctity.

Ultimately though, it's a safe fight if done right. Did almost 30 last night, had 1 wipe due to mistake on buffs, and besides that I think only 3 deaths the whole time.

Additional Findings (Pve - Slyph)

'''MNK/WHM/BRD/GEO/COR/SMN'''

I tried not using darkness skillchains and no debuffs whatsoever to not trigger Divine Favors which is theorized to be making HP ? Holy stronger.

GEO uses Geo-Frailty, Indi-Fury, Entrust Indi-Barrier. The COR and BRD are just buffer alts and stayed out of the range after buffs. Songs were Honor March/Minuet 4+5/Light Carol. DRK/SAM Rolls. SMN uses Hastega II from Garuda.

I was noticing the back to back Divine Favor & Holy ? spam. We were getting easy wins with all characters having prime number max HP (so we only take in damage from dice roll 1's) and SMN giving Earthen Armor, but I was curious about the Divine Favor spam because it seemed weird.

I tried not using dark runes (/RUN SJ) and this time and not using Shijin Spiral due to the plague debuff and only spamming Howling Fist or Raging Fists to avoid skillchains. No Dia either.

Lo and behold, it only used Divine Favor once as its first TP move then never used it again, it used Holy ? about 3-4 times, and the rest of its TP moves were Eerie Eye, Regal Scratch and Mewing Lullaby.

No more random 1 shot KO Holy ?'s and it felt like a normal Cait Sith fight at this point.

Update: using 2x Tenebrae on mnk/run caused it to spam Divine Favor from additional tests, supporting the idea that darkness and debuffs triggers the Divine Favor spamming which causes Holy ? attack to become stronger.

==Difficult==
Be the first to contribute!

==Normal==
===== MNK/WAR BRD/WHM =====

Super simple duo, very consistent clears with fairly low job-specific gear investment. Neither main job was mastered or particularly well geared at the time of writing this.

:'''Trusts'''
:*Arciela
:*Koru-Moru
:*Sylvie
:*Monberaux

Monberaux will handle healing and status cleanse with ease, and Koru-Moru and Arciela will keep Cait Sith clear of dangerous buffs. Additional debuffs they throw at her will get her to spam Divine Favor and ideally ? Holy, which are easily dealt with in this strategy, so all it means is she spends less time doing annoying things like inflicting Amnesia or Sleep. Sylvie is just there for buffs and backup heals.

:'''MNK'''
:* Only needs very rudimentary gear and doesn't require investment JP wise - try to cap out DT-%, but full Malignance or Nyame (even unaugmented) should be enough.
:* Ride Counterstance to victory, as long as you have ~3000HP you shouldn't die to anything that comes your way.
:* Use Mantra and Chakra as needed
:* '''/DNC''' also works in case of really unlucky Mewing Lullaby timing so you can ride out Curing Waltz III. Between Chakra and Curing Waltz III, you should get enough healing to self-sustain even if literally everyone else gets slept for whatever reason, but the lack of Provoke on pull may lead to Monberaux drawing aggro when you engage as he will immediately open with a lot of buffs - Cait Sith ''WILL'' most likely one-shot him if this happens, even with Carols. This is the only reason I don't recommend this over '''/WAR''' necessarily. '''/RUN''' may also work, but I haven't tested that yet.
:* Tap Cait Sith with TH gear if possible to help out drop chances (in my case, Perfect Lucky Egg, White Rarab Cap +1, Tarutaru Sash and Volte Boots for TH4). 2 RDM trusts is probably overkill for this so you could probably bring a THF friend for better TH in one of the RDM slots.

:'''BRD'''
:*Also only needs fairly rudimentary gear - 3 songs is enough.
:*'''Trusts/Everyone else'''
:**Light Carol II
:**Fowl Aubade
:**Scherzo
:*'''MNK'''
:**Valor Minuet V
:**Victory March
:**Scherzo

Fowl Aubade along with Light Carol II will prevent Monberaux from falling asleep after the first Mewing Lullaby - he will resist all further sleeps. BRD buffs and then stays out of ''? Holy'' and Mewing Lullaby range for the remainder of the fight.

Scherzo and Carol II will prevent ? Holy from one-shotting the trusts even if you get particularly unlucky, and the MNK should be tanky enough to survive it with minimal damage as well. The only real danger in this fight becomes bad Mewing Lullaby timing - Monberaux getting slept is unlikely but can be bad if it occurs, but the real issue is he prioritizes waking up other trusts over healing you. Have the BRD step just barely into range of being able to Curaga the closest trust to the entrance from outside ? Holy range to wake everyone up to fix this. Otherwise, super simple fight - MNK just beats it to death.

'''PUP/COR COR/THF''' Simple dual box.

'''PUP'''
:Valor/Valor
:*Focus on fire maneuvers to force Bone Crusher. SCs don’t help much.
:*Steam Jacket is a must.
:*Drachen roll.
:* Fire, wind, light maneuvers
*Chip away at Cait.
:*I use OD at 80% but gear will determine when to OD.
:*You can even wait for Benediction but clear times will be long.

'''COR'''
*Beast and Companion
*Put TH on and get out.

===== PUP/NIN =====

I've been doing this with mastered PUP/NIN with some pretty basic A.Skirmish augmented gear. I win about 9/10 times, with the occasional bout of bad luck.

'''Gear:'''

sets.buff.Overdrive = {main="Ohrmazd",range="Animator P",
head="Anwig Salade",neck="Shulmanu Collar",ear1="Enmerkar Earring",ear2="Rimeice Earring",
body=gear.petDTBody,hands=gear.petDTHands,ring1="Varar Ring +1",ring2="Varar Ring +1",
back="Visucius's Mantle",waist="Klouskap Sash +1",legs=gear.petDTLegs,feet=gear.petDTFeet}

Body, hands, legs, and feet are all Taeon augmented with DT-4%, DA+5%, and Accuracy +20 or greater.
Ohrmazd is Pet: STR/DEX/VIT +14, Mag. Eva +13, PDT-4%
Back is just haste+10

I have a decent reward set with Taeon pieces aug'd with reward+5 and all of the other reward accessories, praetik, guignol, and midnights (path D).
They do make a difference when Cait Sith randomly decides to start chunking your automaton.

Pitre body, of course, for extra OD duration.

A good Overload down set for when you cast your maneuvers if you run out of overdrive time.

I swap Enmerkar with Domesticator's earring at PetTP >= 1000.

'''Trusts:'''

AATT, Monberaux, Ajido-Marujido, Arciela II, and Yoran-Oran (UC), they're inconsequential.

The main thing about this is I think it's often detrimental to use a tank trust, if overdrive is ticking away and the tank trust pulls hate during Mewing Lullaby that's precious seconds off of your timer.

'''Instructions:'''
* Summon trusts
* Wind Maneuver
* Utsusemi
* Fire Maneuver
* Grape daifuku
* Engage
* Light Maneuver
* Deploy
* Poke with TH4
* Press the OD button
* Run 25' away, remain engaged so trusts do whatever it is they do, keep maneuvers up as they fall.

If your auto doesnt get to Benediction before the 1:59 minute mark on Overdrive, you're cutting it close, but don't give up. Auto can sometimes take out 10~15% HP on their own without overdrive.

I sometimes let the auto attack a bit before overdrive, but paralyze is bothersome if it lands, which it will if the auto is not SP'd.

'''Usual causes of failure are:'''
* Stupid puppet
* repeated Mewing Lullaby cutting off WS's
* too many mewing lullaby followed by casting wasting OD time
* occasionally Cait Sith goes berserk and destroys your puppet.
* one shotted by a Cait Sith attack round before OD even starts (mainly why i started going /NIN)
* HP ? Holy gets you before you can even get out of range

If you have 10~15% HP left and Overdrive falls pop Heady Artiface when its hp gets to about 25%~ish and ride Reward if you can. Automaton can sometimes do this on their own.
No matter how tempting it may be, never get closer than 25' unless your auto is dead. Her abilities can both 1shot you (esp in Taeon) as well as cripple you, making it harder for your auto to do its thing.

This is probably the minimum gearset you'd need for somewhat consistent wins. Using malignance or nyame while you get out of range could deal with the occasional insta-gib from enlight or HP ? Holy, but I'm really lazy.

==Easy==
Fairly easy solo on REMA MNK/RUN with trusts. TPing in a few Malignance pieces helps as well on -MDT and Magic Evasion. Use UC Healer Trust, Koru-Moru, Ulmia, Qultada, Sel'theus (though he can be replaced by just about anything that suits your playstyle).

Pop 2x Tenebrae. BEFORE fighting use Mantra as this will force Sel'theus to regen everyone's health to full at the start. This allows Ulmia/Qultada to last beyond the first HP ? Holy TP moves before your healer trust gets Shellra5 on the party. Use Valliation as the fight begins. Ride Counterstance for the entire fight. Try to use WS after her TP moves so you are not caught in a WS set when she uses HP ? Holy, and SC's don't do much damage anyway. After the first Benediction I use Pflug as Vallation wears off towards the end and this bridges the gap.

You rarely take any damage throughout the fight that a healer can't keep up with. Typically, between 1-3 Trusts will die from HP ? Holy as the fight progresses, and it is usually Seltheus, Ulmia or Qultada, which isn't a big deal because they will have buffed you already. Save your Chakra for the end of the fight in case it is just you and your Unity trust, or the Unity trust dies, which happens.

==Very Easy==
Just a note: she absolutely chews up trust tanks. Killed Lv. 120 ([[Filled memory gem]]) Amchuchu in two autos, and August in three, with Earthen Armor, Earthen Ward, and a /WHM Cure IV following the first auto. Apururu didn't even get a heal out before things were over. 
I should have tried baiting Protect and Shell from Light Spirit pre-pull so she could maybe start healing immediately, but I really doubt that she would have been able to keep up anyway. May try again with Noctoshield or /RDM Phalanx, or with Gessho just to see, but it doesn't look promising when the first two attempts were already a loss ten seconds into the pull.

'''RUN THF COR WHM BRD SMN'''.
:Usually about a 3 minute kill, I think.

'''BRD''' does Honor March, Minuet, Light Carol, and Scherzo.

'''COR''' does Chaos+Samurai and spams Savage Blade.

'''SMN''' does Hastega2, Earthen Armor, Crystal Blessing, and Crimson Howl.
:May need to re-apply Hastega2 if Cait casts Slowga.
:Ecliptic Growl is a nice bonus as well, as Cait can dispel things.
:I suggest using Apogee to speed up the ward rotation at the start, it takes a while to get them all up but you want a fast kill once you start.
:*Besides those buffs, SMN is free to Volt Strike or whatever they fancy.

'''THF''' spams Rudra, trick attacking the RUN when possible. And most importantly, git dat Treasure Hunter.

'''RUN''' uses [[Lionheart]] if they have it, and uses [[Tenebrae]] x3.
:After buffs, Flash Cait, and pull it back to the start.
:[[Valiance]] after pull.
:When Cait Sith uses Benediction, [[One for All]] + [[Battuta]] because the fight gets harder.
:I used RUN/SAM, and just did Flash Foil on pull then Resolution spam the rest of the time. With the THF there, you shouldn't lose hate to the COR.

'''WHM''' needs to Cure quickly, with EA+Scherzo up it's basically impossible to get one-shotted but you can still sometimes take heavy damage.
:If the RUN's One for All wears off, they can jump in with Sacrosanctity.

Ultimately though, it's a safe fight if done right. Did almost 30 last night, had 1 wipe due to mistake on buffs, and besides that I think only 3 deaths the whole time.

Additional Findings (Pve - Slyph)

'''MNK/WHM/BRD/GEO/COR/SMN'''

I tried not using darkness skillchains and no debuffs whatsoever to not trigger Divine Favors which is theorized to be making HP ? Holy stronger.

GEO uses Geo-Frailty, Indi-Fury, Entrust Indi-Barrier. The COR and BRD are just buffer alts and stayed out of the range after buffs. Songs were Honor March/Minuet 4+5/Light Carol. DRK/SAM Rolls. SMN uses Hastega II from Garuda.

I was noticing the back to back Divine Favor & Holy ? spam. We were getting easy wins with all characters having prime number max HP (so we only take in damage from dice roll 1's) and SMN giving Earthen Armor, but I was curious about the Divine Favor spam because it seemed weird.

I tried not using dark runes (/RUN SJ) and this time and not using Shijin Spiral due to the plague debuff and only spamming Howling Fist or Raging Fists to avoid skillchains. No Dia either.

Lo and behold, it only used Divine Favor once as its first TP move then never used it again, it used Holy ? about 3-4 times, and the rest of its TP moves were Eerie Eye, Regal Scratch and Mewing Lullaby.

No more random 1 shot KO Holy ?'s and it felt like a normal Cait Sith fight at this point.

Update: using 2x Tenebrae on mnk/run caused it to spam Divine Favor from additional tests, supporting the idea that darkness and debuffs triggers the Divine Favor spamming which causes Holy ? attack to become stronger.

==Normal==
===== MNK/WAR BRD/WHM =====

Super simple duo, very consistent clears with fairly low job-specific gear investment. Neither main job was mastered or particularly well geared at the time of writing this.

:'''Trusts'''
:*Arciela
:*Koru-Moru
:*Sylvie
:*Monberaux

Monberaux will handle healing and status cleanse with ease, and Koru-Moru and Arciela will keep Cait Sith clear of dangerous buffs. Additional debuffs they throw at her will get her to spam Divine Favor and ideally ? Holy, which are easily dealt with in this strategy, so all it means is she spends less time doing annoying things like inflicting Amnesia or Sleep. Sylvie is just there for buffs and backup heals.

:'''MNK'''
:* Only needs very rudimentary gear and doesn't require investment JP wise - try to cap out DT-%, but full Malignance or Nyame (even unaugmented) should be enough.
:* Ride Counterstance to victory, as long as you have ~3000HP you shouldn't die to anything that comes your way.
:* Use Mantra and Chakra as needed
:* '''/DNC''' also works in case of really unlucky Mewing Lullaby timing so you can ride out Curing Waltz III. Between Chakra and Curing Waltz III, you should get enough healing to self-sustain even if literally everyone else gets slept for whatever reason, but the lack of Provoke on pull may lead to Monberaux drawing aggro when you engage as he will immediately open with a lot of buffs - Cait Sith ''WILL'' most likely one-shot him if this happens, even with Carols. This is the only reason I don't recommend this over '''/WAR''' necessarily. '''/RUN''' may also work, but I haven't tested that yet.
:* Tap Cait Sith with TH gear if possible to help out drop chances (in my case, Perfect Lucky Egg, White Rarab Cap +1, Tarutaru Sash and Volte Boots for TH4). 2 RDM trusts is probably overkill for this so you could probably bring a THF friend for better TH in one of the RDM slots.

:'''BRD'''
:*Also only needs fairly rudimentary gear - 3 songs is enough.
:*'''Trusts/Everyone else'''
:**Light Carol II
:**Fowl Abaude
:**Scherzo
:*'''MNK'''
:**Valor Minuet V
:**Victory March
:**Scherzo

Fowl Abaude along with Light Carol II will prevent Monberaux from falling asleep after the first Mewing Lullaby - he will resist all further sleeps. BRD buffs and then stays out of ''? Holy'' and Mewing Lullaby range for the remainder of the fight.

Scherzo and Carol II will prevent ? Holy from one-shotting the trusts even if you get particularly unlucky, and the MNK should be tanky enough to survive it with minimal damage as well. The only real danger in this fight becomes bad Mewing Lullaby timing - Monberaux getting slept is unlikely but can be bad if it occurs, but the real issue is he prioritizes waking up other trusts over healing you. Have the BRD step just barely into range of being able to Curaga the closest trust to the entrance from outside ? Holy range to wake everyone up to fix this. Otherwise, super simple fight - MNK just beats it to death.

'''PUP/COR COR/THF''' Simple dual box.

'''PUP'''
:Valor/Valor
:*Focus on fire maneuvers to force Bone Crusher. SCs don’t help much.
:*Steam Jacket is a must.
:*Drachen roll.
:* Fire, wind, light maneuvers
*Chip away at Cait.
:*I use OD at 80% but gear will determine when to OD.
:*You can even wait for Benediction but clear times will be long.

*Beast and Companion
*Put TH on and get out.

===== PUP/NIN =====

I've been doing this with mastered PUP/NIN with some pretty basic A.Skirmish augmented gear. I win about 9/10 times, with the occasional bout of bad luck.

'''Puppet stats:'''

</cait>

'''Gear:'''

sets.buff.Overdrive = {main="Ohrmazd",range="Animator P",
head="Anwig Salade",neck="Shulmanu Collar",ear1="Enmerkar Earring",ear2="Rimeice Earring",
body=gear.petDTBody,hands=gear.petDTHands,ring1="Varar Ring +1",ring2="Varar Ring +1",
back="Visucius's Mantle",waist="Klouskap Sash +1",legs=gear.petDTLegs,feet=gear.petDTFeet}

Body, hands, legs, and feet are all Taeon augmented with DT-4%, DA+5%, and Accuracy +20 or greater.
Ohrmazd is Pet: STR/DEX/VIT +14, Mag. Eva +13, PDT-4%
Back is just haste+10

I have a decent reward set with Taeon pieces aug'd with reward+5 and all of the other reward accessories, praetik, guignol, and midnights (path D).
They do make a difference when Cait Sith randomly decides to start chunking your automaton.

Pitre body, of course, for extra OD duration.

A good Overload down set for when you cast your maneuvers if you run out of overdrive time.

I swap Enmerkar with Domesticator's earring at PetTP >= 1000.

'''Trusts:'''

AATT, Monberaux, Ajido-Marujido, Arciela II, and Yoran-Oran (UC), they're inconsequential.

The main thing about this is I think it's often detrimental to use a tank trust, if overdrive is ticking away and the tank trust pulls hate during Mewing Lullaby that's precious seconds off of your timer.

'''Instructions:'''
* Summon trusts
* Wind Maneuver
* Utsusemi
* Fire Maneuver
* Grape daifuku
* Engage
* Light Maneuver
* Deploy
* Poke with TH4
* Press the OD button
* Run 25' away, remain engaged so trusts do whatever it is they do, keep maneuvers up as they fall.

If your auto doesnt get to Benediction before the 1:59 minute mark on Overdrive, you're cutting it close, but don't give up. Auto can sometimes take out 10~15% HP on their own without overdrive.

I sometimes let the auto attack a bit before overdrive, but paralyze is bothersome if it lands, which it will if the auto is not SP'd.

'''Usual causes of failure are:'''
* Stupid puppet
* repeated Mewing Lullaby cutting off WS's
* too many mewing lullaby followed by casting wasting OD time
* occasionally Cait Sith goes berserk and destroys your puppet.
* one shotted by a Cait Sith attack round before OD even starts (mainly why i started going /NIN)
* HP ? Holy gets you before you can even get out of range

If you have 10~15% HP left and Overdrive falls pop Heady Artiface when its hp gets to about 25%~ish and ride Reward if you can. Automaton can sometimes do this on their own.
No matter how tempting it may be, never get closer than 25' unless your auto is dead. Her abilities can both 1shot you (esp in Taeon) as well as cripple you, making it harder for your auto to do its thing.

This is probably the minimum gearset you'd need for somewhat consistent wins. Using malignance or nyame while you get out of range could deal with the occasional insta-gib from enlight or HP ? Holy, but I'm really lazy.
