Futures Rewritten (Ultimate) Guide for Phase 2, Usurper of Frost
Phase 2: Usurper of Frost
Pre-fight Preparations:
- Assign each person to a modified clock spot, with Melee DPS southwest and southeast, Ranged and Caster DPS northwest and northeast, Healers west and south, and Tanks north and east.
- Assign light parties made of one Tank, Healer, Melee, and Ranged/Caster DPS each. Assign position priories for each light party. We recommend Group 1 southeast to north, and Group 2 northeast to south.
- Assign support and DPS pairs made of a Ranged/Caster DPS & Tank and Melee DPS & Healer.
- The three previous points should be the same as the previous phase for consistency!
Recurring Mechanics:
- The House of Light
- A light aspected conal AoE cleave that targets the nearest four players to the source of the ability. Must be baited away from other players as it applies a magic vulnerability debuff, which will cause players who take an additional source of damage to instantly die. NOTE! At the end of Light Rampant, this ability will instead target all eight players, instead of only four.
- Banish III
- A point-blank spread AoE attack on all eight playe
Phase 2: Usurper of Frost
As soon as dies, the arena transitions to ’s arena from E8S, and herself appears. Although she looks the same, Ryne is possessed by Mitron and is called the . But everyone still calls her .
This phase is the closest that FRU has to a trio phase, with two long downtime mechanics. Unlike a traditional trio phase, however, there is a little bit of uptime mechanic sprinkled in. To complete the phase, she must be brought down below 20% health before the end of the enrage. Also, unlike in the original fight, the edge of the arena is not a cliff but stays as the traditional Ultimate deathwall.
As before, unless otherwise noted, any attack other than a spread, stack, raidwide, or tankbuster inflicts 2mDamage Down, and all spreads and stacks inflict 2Magic Vulnerability Up to prevent players from taking multiple hits.
Intro
kicks things off with , a tankbuster that only actually has two hits. It’s a typical one-two buster with room for a tank swap. It inflicts a cleansable 15Physical Vulnerability Up, forcing a swap, cleanse, or invuln.
After one follow-up auto—which can also be lethal, thanks to the vuln— teleports to south of center, faces north, and

With patch arriving in Final Fantasy XIV, players can now dive into Dawntrail’s long-awaited Futures Rewritten Ultimate Raid (FRU). This raid features familiar faces from the Eden Raid series that featured during Shadowbringers, on a whole new difficulty scale.
Futures Rewritten Ultimate is the sixth Ultimate raid to be added to Final Fantasy XIV, with the others being as follows:
- The Unending Coil of Bahamut (UCoB) (Stormblood)
- The Weapon’s Refrain (UWU) (Stormblood)
- The Epic of Alexander (TEA) (Shadowbringers)
- Dragonsong’s Reprise (DSR or DSU) (Endwalker)
- The Omega Protocol (TOP) (Endwalker)
With beefed-up mechanics and some absolutely stunning weapons to work towards, there’s a whole slew of reasons to take in any of the Ultimate raids. However, this task is not for the weak-hearted and there are some pretty stringent unlock requirements as well.
