Tower of Green Dragon: green lightning what? (UPDATED 2/23/14)

I thought yellow was the color for lightning and thunder.  Whatever.

So we get our thunder ancient dragon to play with now.  The stages play out just like the other elemental versions: you're stage 5 mid-boss, stage 9 mini-boss, and the boss itself at the end.

Notable stuff about the boss:
- Has high defense.  Around 20k.  Defensive ruin or Armor Breaker should be employed.  Poison attacks are an alternate.
- Fairly high HP.  Not Wales high, but not Prothero low.
- Boss hits for 16260 damage, CD2.  So a double 50% lightning resist can make this a lot more reasonable to handle, adding to the fact that it's CD2.
- Skills listed at the bottom of this post
UPDATE: The boss was fixed so now it has skills :P
- Triple Attack: Self-explanatory; attack 3 times all at once for 19512 damage.
- Wrath of Vulcan: Seals fire cards for 5 turns.






Went with a defensive setup for top level.  Really makes all lightning damage a joke, so it's mainly the Ifrit and Jotunn that you need to worry about.  The boss has about 25k defense, and the damage you see there is a pestilence tick, so while his defense isn't crazy high, just breaking it isn't enough.  Occasionally I could break it with a lucky long combo chain, but pestilence is more reliable and predictable.  If you have Raphael this could go a bit smoother.  Hesperides/Elf would work too if you can make good combos.
