Pre-Fight Notes

Before reading the guide, there are a couple things to note about the fight:

  1. To unlock FRU, you will need to have cleared "AAC Light-Heavyweight M4 (Savage)" and then speak to the Wandering Minstrel in Tulliyollal.

  2. When entering the instance, all players should try to be equipped with Best in Slot (BiS) gear as well as the highest tier of food and tinctures available. BiS gear is mandatory to clear the fight and will make the fight easier and more manageable with mistakes. Feel free to refer to the NAUR - Current FFXIV Ultimate BiS Sets spreadsheet for some example sets.

  3. To better utilize this guide, please refer to the resources found in the FRU resource page. Many resources such as raidplans, mitigation plans, cheat sheets, and more can be found there.

  4. It should also be noted that if a player fails a mechanic in this fight, they will often receive a "Damage Down".

    The "Damage Down" debuff in FRU will reduce the damage dealt by the player by 90% for 2 minutes. In most cases, it is recommended for players to die when they receive this debuff as the "Weakness" debuff is shorter and reduces less damage. This is not always the case as some mechanics will require you to stay alive to resolve them but good to keep in mind.

  5. All phases and major mechanics follow the Raidplans and Toolboxes found in the FRU resource page. These links are also attached to the respective phase or mechanic headings. If a heading is underlined with a hyperlink, it will take you to the respective toolbox or raidplan.
