An example of just how far equipment has come the past few years. Before Nyame's release, this was impossible without using a Brew. Nyame's WSD path makes Savage Blade strong enough that the Kouryu section is now doable.
It has been possible for RDM to solo the Kirin portion of this fight for at least a few years now. Bind, Silence, and Gravity all land on Kirin, the mini gods all die within 3 WSes except Genbu (who dies to Enthunder), and AAHM can tank everything in this phase with little issue. It's the Kouryu section that made it impossible until recently. Within 80-100 seconds after transforming, Kouryu uses Astral Flow - at this point, your survival time is likely measured in seconds, so Kouryu needs to be dead or very nearly dead before this happens. Even if you did control the adds again (Bind lands on everything except Suzaku), Kouryu gains access to Absolute Terror and Horrid Roar while the adds are alive. Killing them again isn't an option - I've tried, he just uses Astral Flow to resummon them a third time.
I deaggro Kirin at 50% using Gravity, just before Kouryu spawns, to get a new set of Trusts - most importantly, Shikaree Z (who uses Ancient Circle for +15% damage against Kouryu) and Monberaux (near-instant Slow removal). This honestly might not be necessary, but there were a LOT of failed attempts prior to this that did not get close without cycling Trusts. You would probably need Slow from Typhoon Wing to not land a single time in order to win, which is unrealistic. Buff potions are vital to dealing enough damage against Kouryu, especially Barbarian's Drink (Attack+50% for one minute) and Fighter's Drink (Accuracy+100, allowing Thibron offhand to reliably hit). Altana's Repast food was used. At the very end, I Diaga the adds so they'll go after Trusts, buying a bit more time to deliver the finishing blow.
Oh, and, for the record, Spike Flail is still lethal. Don't tail tank Kouryu. Stupid August...

Really well done! You ended up getting the situation I've been trying for which is having Koryou summoning all the gods at the very last second or not at all. He commonly summons them at 10% for me and I fail to finish it off before they take me out. This has given me the desire to keep trying, thank you!

[@shperax]

It blows my mind how you do this with so few macros. All the manual click menu muscle memory is amazing. And the typing for doing magic. I've never seen so much before. Good job

[@rashid2898]

its not its all Automated in LUA he just clicks the spell and the lua equipsets for him tis simple as that

[@wb8ert]

[@xanuui]

well done!

[@SageAtoreis]

Nice :)

[@maestorjvdascariot5555]

How do you simply lose all aggro @8:53 and resummon trusts? Looked like you were being chased but then Kirin just gave up?

[@RidiPwn]

Can someone explain this at 8:20 51% Kirin uses Heath Breath, killing all the trusts. How in the world you did not have enmity and able to recall all the Trusts? The only thing I can think of is that Heat Breath resets hate.

[@gabrielmorales6120]

Kirin didn't kill the trusts, Mischief dismissed them all. I believe Kirin lost enmity from being too far away. I'm not 100% about whether it was Heat Breath or not that might have done it though.

[@RidiPwn]

@@gabrielmorales6120 Thanks for the explanation.

[@KoiAquaponics]

What's the other sword?

[@forevergogo]

How your enspell do 900+ dmg? o_o;

[@mickeysieveke321]

Composure and Crocea Mors. Assuming an enhancing skill of 600, that gives a base enspell damage of 78. Job mastery adds another 23 to that, and most likely using Ayanmo hands +2, which adds another 17, so a base enspell damage of 118. Now, Composure and the Crocea Mors together add another +700% to that, or a x8 multiplier, which brings us to an enspell damage of 944.
