White Marshmallow Raid Boss

Run Date
This raid's first run in Global is scheduled for July 22nd-29th, 2020.

Raid Boss Format
The boss is the White Marshmallow, and runs a similar format to the previous Chocolate Flan raid.


 * Players can "unlock" a raid by spending NRG in story or individual events in the Farplane.
 * Players play each raid level "free" the first time, and have five "recharge orbs" to take additional attempts at the boss.
 * Replaying against a boss starts with the previous damage already dealt to the boss.
 * The recharge orbs refill at a rate of one orb per hour.
 * All players that help defeat a boss get an equal share of the rewards, regardless of if they were in the first or last attack.
 * Each time the boss is defeated, it will level up and become slightly stronger and give progressively better rewards for clearing levels.
 * Guests can join in to up to 20 raids per day without any orb costs (first attack per raid), and can continue after with raid orbs.

Rewards
The rewards for this event center around the materials and recipes for creating the Platinum Robe

Additionally, Raid Coins are earned for each clear where materials can be purchased in the Mog Shop.

Early Levels
Clearing early levels using the 4-party format and running with a solo unit can allow for quick advancement while still obtaining the max rewards.

Higher Levels as a Helper
Join in one fight per enemy as a helper. If the party fails, leave and allow others to team in. All participants for any iteration of a fight will get rewards when it ends.

Dark Slash / Pummel Party
Use a party of mostly Dark Slash units with some support.
 * Suggested Dark Slash Units: Vinera Fennes, Gaffgarion, Sterne Leonis, Shadowlynx, "Whisper"
 * Suggested Dark Pummel Units: Gaffgarion, Xiza (ok, nobody is actually pummeling this event)
 * Other options: Xiza (one per party)
 * When using Xiza, Steal Time will allow for longer chains from the other players if timed well (i.e. when your turn is near the Marshmallow's next turn). If you are moving right after the Marshmallow, then using an alternate skill like Snipe Dagger can start or continue the chain for your team.
 * Move forward quickly into an area near the Marshmallow and outside the range of the support units, then ignore the support units.
 * Suggested Vision Cards:
 * Aquatic Killer: Greetings from Afar
 * Slash Up: One of Echoing Screams, Path to Revenge, or Secret Orders
 * General Attack Up: Vow of Love, Ifrit
 * Light Eater: The Perks of Having Charm

Alternative Approaches

 * Rain can imperil fire, to offset some of the defense, and has slash type attacks, so "All Rain" parties have been suggested as an option.
 * Similarly, Mediena can imperil ice, and magic's penalty is relatively low, so "All Medi" parties might continue work on this raid as well.
 * Orlandeau is showing up as a support / slash character
