Thread: [Event 10] Advent Battle vs Ixion

The imperious Eidolon, Ixion is on her way!

This authoritarian Eidolon must be stopped, or she will enslave all mankind!

The Advent Battle vs. Ixion will begin after the maintenance is completed on the evening of May 31st (PDT), so prepare yourself!

From Japanese Wiki: http://xn--hckqz0e9cygq471ahu9b.xn--...87%A8%E6%88%A6

Using Google Translate (and some help from other posters):

Material Exchange Recommendations

1. It is very rare to see SSR Eidolon or Wpn drop from chest. Therefore you should exchange using material.
2. High Priority: SSR Wpn (Sword), Half Elixir, Wpn Gacha Ticket
3. Medium Priority: SSR Eidolon, Soul Points, Offensive SR Wpn
4. Low Priority: Grimroies, Premium Gacha, Defensive Wpn

About Ixion

1. Ixion is compatible with Sandalphone
2. Sandalphone is slightly better than Ixion

Difficulty

1. Difficulty has been increased significantly
2. Ragnarok Difficulty added at 0AP Cost but limit to 1 attempt per day, regardless of win or lose.
2. Limit of 1 Elixir per battle
3. Ragnarok difficulty require lv50 to attempt
4. Because of high difficulty, players without high offensive power may be better off doing main quest or daily quest to build up your team.
5. At a minimum, you should have SR Cybele (from Quest) on your team

Ixion Attacks

1. Large damage to single target
2. High damage to all + Decrease burst gauge by 30% (75% in Ragnarok difficulty)
3. Attack single target 2x
4. Ixion HP: Ultimate = 850k, Ragnarok = 3.15M

Strategy

1. The recommended Soul is Mordred
2. However, it is difficult to find good sword and glaives of Wind type
3. Be very careful about the Ixion Fanatic (minion) they have healing and self destruction, and burst in 1 turn.
4. It is desirable to nuke down the minions in the 1st turn
5. It is almost impossible to prevent Ixion using her burst in rage mode.
6. Her double attack is strong and can easily kill 1 hime
7. Debuffs and (Mordred's) Black Propaganda are highly effective
8. The other recommended Soul is Joan of Arc
9. Recommended Team SSR Gaia, R Caspiel (not released yet), SR Itacqua (not released yet), SR Oberon, SR Cybele, R Zephyors
10. Recommended SR Hime - Oberon
11. Recommended R Hime - Caspiel

Update based on Feedback
Based on the feedbacks in this thread so far, there is 2 common strategies.
1. Defensive: Use Jean and ATK down himes to build up meter and tank dmg. When Ixion rages, burst her down
2. Affliction: Use Mortred and ATK down, similar to above
3. Offensive: Use Siegfried, build meter and gun down Ixion in her first rage

4. ATK down is very valuable, Cybele is the go-to hime here.
5. Gaia is nearly must have for Ragnarok clear

TY good to plan ahead even if we still have 5 days

Most of the post looks more or less to be google translate with some edits and rephrasing, some being rephrased different than what is actually stated.

Like saying not to run Ragnarok under 50 when the JP wiki states you can't run it under 50 to begin with, unless google translate is wrong there.

Regardless, I don't plan to use my wind team on this in the first place since mines very weak, so a lot of those 'wind recs' are completely useless for me. I probably won't be able to handle Ragnarok without doing so though. We'll have to see though I guess.

I'm new so my question would be the basic question.

'It is better of for doing main quest for weak team'
So you cannot do raid against boss?

Mordred is recommended
Why mordred i thought andromeda has more survivability.

Weak point
How much actually weak point added to increased damage compared to dark and light against non dark and light.


Thanks nice guide

don't have R Caspiel, SR Itacqua, SR Oberon

or Mordred or Jeanne/Joan yet

will aim for them

Your recommended team is pointless considering that Itaqua and Caspiel haven't even been released yet.
Also i don't think mordred is the desired soul so much as black propaganda is a necessary ex ability against ragnarok difficulty and considering that not a lot of people will have gaia a defensive soul will most likely be needed.

Ultimately strategy in this game is a case by case situation as not everyone will have the same KH and therefore will have to approach fights differently based on what they have.

its not really my recommendation cause i never played this event yet. i just used google translate so ppl know what to expect and maybe build a team or unlock a soul in the next few days so they can prep better.

also, i have no idea when Itaqua and Caspiel is gonna get released or if they will be released during this event.

of course if u have a stacked team of SSR's u can probably just use Arthur and auto this.

Would Raphael level 70, Amon level 80, Acala level 80, and Susanoo level 70 be consider a stacked team of SSR? Never used a team of SSR before.
Thank you.

I believe he meant do anything to get stronger so you can do event. Be it raids or completing main quest line.

It's all about black propaganda for ragnarok difficulty. You don't need to use Mordred, but having black propaganda will help you out, since in rage she will be using burst every second turn.

Weak point is something about 40% extra damage plus you get hit for less(25%?) if you have element advantage.

Thank you.

No. First of all you have 3 different elements there and that's bad.


Well, I am conflicted if I should go with Jean plus black propaganda or Mordred with Ambush/Sniper Shoot. Any advice?
