Master the Champions' Cup and defeat the Icicle Ark in Final Fantasy Tactics Part 38. Get strategies for tough battles and learn about clan tourney challenges.
Alright, let's dive into Part 38 of our Final Fantasy Tactics A2 journey! This section focuses on monthly clan activities and two specific missions: the Champions' Cup and the Wanted: Icicle Ark hunt. Think of it as keeping your clan sharp and taking on some tough contracts.
The core idea each month is to visit a designated location and complete a 'capture the tag' mission. This usually means defeating a target within a time or round limit. Collect all the tags you need, and you're good to go for the month!
SECTION A4
Mission A4-01 ~ Champions' Cup
First up is the Champions' Cup, a special Clan Tourney pitting this year's winners against last year's champions. It's the ultimate test of your clan's prowess!
| Champion's Cup | Rank: 54 | Fee : 500 Gil | Days : 20 |
| Items (Required) : -- | Quest Type : Battle | Reward : 8510 Gil, Waterwyrd Crystal X 1 | |
| Quest: Jylland Cup | Month of Goldsun | ||

Your Mission Objective: Defeat all foes in the Special Bout!
Law Forbidden: Dealing < 20 Damage.
This is the big one – you're facing Clan Centurio, the winners from last year. Your opponents are a White Monk, Archer, Viking, Soldier, Green Mage, and a White Mage. They're incredibly strong, so bring your best units and a solid strategy.
Strategy: Focus on the White Mage first. They're a huge threat with their healing and sage powers. After that, take down the Archer before she can inflict Doom on your party. Then, eliminate the Green Mage, as she's also quite potent. Make sure you have a healer ready to revive fallen allies and a tanky unit like a Soldier to absorb some hits. Survival is key!
Mission A4-02 ~ Wanted: Icicle Ark
Next, we have a Wanted mission: Icicle Ark. This notorious group has encased a manor and its lord in ice, and they're hiding out in the Kthili Sands.
| Wanted: Icicle Ark | Rank: 26 | Fee : 400 Gil | Days : 20 |
| Items (Required) : -- | Quest Type : Headhunt | Reward : 3150 Gil, Cockatrice Skin X 2, Mysidia Alloy X 5 | |
| Quest : Wanted: Gaitsnipe | Dispatch Mission ? = Yes | ||
| Talents (Required) : Negotiation : 0, Aptitude : 0, Teamwork : 20, Adaptability : 20 | Can be canceled once accepted | ||
| Destination : Kthili Sands | Members : 6 | Gain 52 Clan Points |
Your Mission Objective: Defeat Icicle Ark!
Law Forbidden: Fire. Weapons and abilities that use fire are forbidden.
This mission is a real pain because you can't use your most effective element: fire. You need to defeat all six enemies. Be prepared for a tough fight:
- Gladiator: Uses Blizzard Tackle and Ice Breath.
- Parivir: Uses Water Veil, Unspell, Hoarfrost Blade, and Wind Slash.
- Illusionist: Uses Freezeblink, Deluge, and Blood Price.
- Summoner: Uses Shiva, Shining Air, Sliprain, and Blood Price.
- Scholar: Uses Rime Bolt Tome, Water, and Aero.
- Black Mage: Uses Blizzard and Blizzara.
The Illusionist and Summoner have Blood Price, meaning they can cast powerful spells as long as they have HP. You'll want to take them down quickly. The Scholar will also be building up MP for their spells, so prioritize eliminating them as well. After that, deal with the Gladiator.
