Talk:Kyou
==== Strategy ====
Melee strat is perfectly viable for Kyou. Any strat, really. Having adequate healing to cover Meteor is important. Otherwise, just stack and put pets in the way for Unfaltering Bravado, or use a puppetmaster's automaton and eat it. --Safiyyah (talk) 23:36, 18 March 2019 (EDT)
Kyou is actually very simple to melee down, you just need to get around the Cursega. Monk is amazing for this fight because Mantra helps prevent Bravado wipe-outs and because it can Counter through the Avoidance Down aura. It's dangerous without the proper set but Counterstance is an incredible counter against Kyou, especially when Hundred Fists goes up.
Highly recommend the Bard stack both Dark Carol and Dark Carol II, this will help prevent Cursega from landing in the first place. If it does then Mantra will prevent a wipe.
Soloed on PUP/WAR. Monberaux Ulmia Joachim Korumoru SylvieUC. /WAR used for aggro control with Provoke, could use another SJ you prefer. Stayed in Malignance even during hundred fists, with the multiple healing trusts and a support puppet capped -DT does a lot of work. Swapped to Jolt Counters for hundred fists. Used RDM puppet with 2x Damage gauges/2x dispel attachments being the core pieces. Light / Light / Dark, puppet will spend every cast either curing you or giving you stoneskin/phalanx, both of which help with the -HP effect of Kyou's curse debuff. For each Bravado I get Kyou to 1% over the trigger (so 76%, 51%, etc) pull the puppet to me, Ventriloquy the aggro over to the puppet, swing around to the other side of Kyou and drop a 3k TP WS to trigger the bravado. Puppet dies, Des Ex Machina, Repair, position puppet, continue. After the 25% Bravado I swap to a Valoredge/Valoredge puppet with an Overdrive setup and swap to a mix of Nyame and puppet overdrive gear to survive meteors. Position puppet so Kyou is pointing at the puppet, you, and your trusts. Pop overdrive and eat meteors until 10%, Bravado will kill your trusts but you can run out of Meteor range (25y) after and swap to a full Overdrive gearset to let your puppet finish the job.
