Thread: [Event 10] Advent Battle vs Ixion

Well, if anyone ever needs to use it as reference, I recorded most of my drops, kinda stopped after it became tedious. Don't have much in beginner, standard and expert so they're not the most accurate, like I never got a plat chests from expert despite you can, I just never ran it enough and RNG.

I appreciate everyone's help!
I'll continue to have a go at the standard ixion raid and grab the SSR eidolon.

Just to confirm,
The SSR book or SSR weapon that is available isn't as useful as the SSR eidolon?

Once again, thank you.

Edit: What does LMB mean and what is the disaster raid event?

disaster raid is the boss elemental battle at the first island.
LMB mean limit break since you need fire power removing SR eidolon as many as you can is top priority so just put as many as ixion in your eidolon slots but if you can obtain 3 or 4 make them has one limit break each ixion.

Quick question. As we're approaching the end of the Advent, I have a choice between getting the final break limit for the Ixid Blade (meaning it will be MBL), or I can get Ixion herself to 1-shy of MBL - so 3/4 broken. That would bring her passive up to 30% Thunder Dmg/25% Burst Damage, and up her max level up to 85.

The thing is, I have a Takemikazuchi already broken once (35% Thunder/Wind/Dark Dmg) so no matter what she's inferior. Considering I've heard it said multiple times that the end goal is a full set of MBL SSR Eidolons, is getting her to 3/4 worth it? She's still not max, thus not 'endgame material'. Contrast that with the Ixid Blade, which I could MBL, thus ensuring it's usefulness.

Other pertinent info - still relatively a noob, so I don't have a mono-element team (yet), and it might or might not be Thunder. But still, a MBL SSR weapon is good regardless?



TL;DR: Should I MBL the Ixid Blade or get Ixion to 3/4 broken?

weapon because can give 6,5% skill and maximum 16% boost in skill increase for your thunder tea,. eidolon you can get anytime anywhere.

Depends. Will you or will you not use thunder team? Because if you won't, then getting weapon instead of eidolon is just a waste. And as for if it is worth getting eidolon to 3 stars... I am still using Apocalypse that only have 2 stars. So it will be usable.

Besides it's not like you need to exchange it right away, the event shop is not going anywhere and you can decide it at later date.

In that scenario, I would choose the fully break limited weapon over the 3/4 eidolon. Reason being that Ixion isn't particularly good if you don't ever plan to use a thunder party. Her battle buff increases thunder damage, which is near useless for every other team. Unless you're using a eidolon that she can replace by a notable difference in hp/atk, going the weapon would be better in the long run as long as you plan to level up a thunder team, even if just on the side. Going Ixion would be better in short term but she'll most likely be replaced much faster in anything outside of a thunder party as she most likely won't provide any use.

If you were still a new player then I would have suggested the eidolon but seeing as how you can gather enough materials for that much, I would assume you can already handle expert and possibly ultimate.

5/8 on Ragnarok. Mordred method was reliable and most of the time I didn't have to deal with a Rage overdrive. Rather, the move that absolutely had to be countered was the normal overdrive since the single-target damage is so high. Gaia reliably counters that, but filling your frontline with Cybele and Brynhildr would've also worked, though somewhat less reliably. There's a lot of things that can go wrong in this fight, as the boss can deplete the Burst gauge and most people won't be able to endure a full rage phase without using Burst. This can occur because of timing issues with the Overdrive meter or simply because the Burst meter hasn't been filled when Rage commences, potentially punishing those with higher DPS. Both can be somewhat mitigated with skills that affect the Overdrive meter, such as Raphael's, and the latter can be managed with dizzy (which has the side-effect of making timing issues more likely).

You're doing the opposite of mine. I MLB the ixion and spend the rest for the ticket and prolly will get 250 soul points.

Since i'm still very new.

I could only get 2 copies of the SSR sword before it said i already owned it-even though it was showing me the required mats to get it and i had them.
