For Cirdas and Rala, the Eudaemon weapon matches the preferred stone reward type just like in Yorcia. It also causes an NM to appear that generally just get in the way, and letting them live, or killing them, can change things about the enemies in the zone. For example, I think Blade in Cirdas makes a Peiste appear that when killed, causes all enemies to be permanently poisoned, and thus unsleepable.
For jobs, like anything else in the game, there's no perfect setup, but bear in mind a few things:
- Regular enemies (Stormy Auchthons or whatever) are sight and/or sound aggro, so have everyone bring some form of sneak/invis, whether it's /DNC or silent oils. All NMs are true sight though, and everything links.
- The worst attacks the NMs can do are elemental in nature (both damage and bad status), so jobs like RUN, GEO, WHM, or stunners are very useful. This includes fighting Balamor, which'll happen more on higher tier visages.
- If she appears, Lorissa can be used to move on to the next floor if you don't like the objective. She won't do anything if you've popped the floor's NM though.
- Behemoth NM uses Thunder, fight in the back to avoid it using Howl, which levels it up.
- Bugard NM uses Earth, keep mages back to avoid Breakga.
- Golem NM uses Fire, nothing really special about him except high DoT Burn on one move.
- Fat Gnat NMuses Ice, and has Chainspell, favoring Blizzaga.
- Balamor uses Dark, I've heard people say he uses Chainspell but I remember seeing him use Perfect Dodge once. Has a Doom WS, and I think he can cast Death.
