Part 51

Master the 'Showdown' mission in Final Fantasy Tactics A2! Learn enemy weaknesses, recommended party members, and strategies to defeat Klesta and secure your rewards.

Alright, let's dive into Part 51 of our Final Fantasy Tactics A2 adventure. We've got a couple of interesting missions here, including a rematch with a familiar foe!

First off, there's a quick mention of a mission where you'll want to exploit Fire weaknesses against a bunny enemy and deal with annoying Slow effects from Sprites. It also suggests taking down Lamias and Liliths before searching for random 'sparkles' that might contain a mushroom. This sounds like a good time to just clear out the threats and then do a relaxed sweep.

Mission B1-16 ~ Showdown

This mission, 'Showdown,' is a Rank 24 quest that will cost you 400 Gil and give you 20 days to complete. The main objective is to defeat a tough enemy named Klesta. You'll need to bring along some Cloudy Sap, though the game doesn't specify where to get it beforehand, implying it might be a reward from a previous mission or something you find during the battle.

Strategy:

This is going to be a tough fight! You only get to bring 3 units, but don't worry, Bowen and the Illusionist Tweigel will join you and can't be defeated. Klesta has almost 1000 HP and the Absorb HP ability, so he's a real tank. The good news is that he's massive, meaning your units will almost always have a 99% accuracy rate against him. Make sure you bring healers because you'll be taking a beating, and Hunters are great for dealing damage to this monster type.

Keep an eye out for 'Piston Drop,' an attack that hits all units on the battlefield. Once Klesta's HP drops to half, the Cloudy Sap you brought will come into play, helping you finish him off. After the battle, you'll get a random piece of loot – I managed to snag a Demon Feather!

Mission B2-01 ~ Wanted: Ughor

This is a storyline mission, so you'll want to tackle it as part of the main quest progression.

Mission B2-03 ~ Throw Down

Next up is 'Throw Down,' a Rank 14 mission costing 300 Gil with 20 days to complete. This is a Dispatch Mission, but you can choose to fight it out yourself for a more engaging experience. And guess who we're fighting again? Klesta!

Strategy:

This is another fight against Klesta, but this time it's on Baptiste Hill. The level of Klesta will scale with your clan's average level, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem unless you have a huge level advantage. You'll only start with 3 units, but House Bowen will send in reinforcements: a Fighter, a Gria Ravager, a Nu Mou Illusionist, and possibly an Assassin if you completed a specific quest.

Since the AI reinforcements will go all out, you need to either defeat Klesta quickly or have strong healers. Klesta has a significant height advantage on this map, which can make things tough for your archers. It's probably best to focus on melee units or characters who can deal damage effectively from lower ground.
