Thread: [Event 16] Garuda & Typhon Rematch Event

Question... Considering that I recently started (i.e. don't have Garuda/Typhon) and is likely to main Fire and Water first... Reading the wiki, looks like Typhon passive is +20% dmg/20% burst, and I have Ifrit which gives better passive bonus... Its likely that I'll get a copy of Typhon, MLB both SSR weapons and probably MLB garuda... That's probably the best I can do without spending too much of my limited half elixirs...

From a fire main perspective, am I missing a lot on the additional HP/atk in eidolon grid granted by Typhon if I skip on MLB-ing Typhon?

I don't think I should have issues doing ultimate for both... I could beat Yatagarasu event in ultimate, and I have about the same attack power between my fire and water team

If you're only wanting Typhon for the stats over other fire SSRs, then no, I don't think you'll be missing out. Obviously, the goal is to get 6 MBL SSR eidolons, and Fire ones seem to have lower stats. If you already have a decent Fire SSR maxed (crom or yatagarasu) maxed, then it doesn't matter so much. YOu just need 6 total, and only ONE needs to be fire.

If you plan on Fire being your main, and you DON'T have a lvl 100 SSR, then yes, you should focus on Typhon. Even if you have Ifrit (who admittedly is really damn good!), if she's not MBL you'll eventually replace her. It really is necessary to have lvl 100 SSRs (6 of them). Otherwise, when you have 6 other ones just by playing over time, if your fire one is weaker, and gets cut... your fire team will suffer. The next fire event is Cthugua (if i didn't butcher the spelling of Lovecraftian horrors lol), and it's quite a ways off... we did just finish a fire event.

TL;DR> If you have a MBL fire eidolon, a single copy is enough. If you don't have one, I'd get Typhon maxed.

garuda and typphon... well, it's unexpected indeed.. especially to have them after an advent battle.. but yeah, seems they planned out the schedule to what makes most sense in the future for them, if they're 11 month behind then makes sense to add some events that would usually come after say halloween/christmas ones on DMM, pushing them like a month worth forward to make sure the holiday specials are on the correct date.

well i'm one of the lucky few anyway that didn't bother to use..literally all of my elixers/half elixers just to get more materials than i'll ever need.. there are some that used so much that next yata rerun they'll have enough to buy out the whole exhcange shop without doing any rematch battles XD
anyway, to think about it a more positive way, it gives people who aren't fully prepared to get some more light or thunder weapons for dullahan/vritra... more time to save up seeds, since next is raid and... well, more premium tickets for those like me who like to use them and hope for the best...likely to be disappointed but whatever
i'm just planning to get garuda and typhons ssr weapons to mlb or even 2 stars

good luck everyone

Personaly, i'll go with cassi as i don't have a weapon for mordred.
Also i'll take gaia for the cut damage.
In typhon case i'll take either arc or siegfried, in her normal attack turns she may attack ot clear debuffs, however when she is charged and can use her supermove it'll be the turn i use all the debuff skills as she will use her skill and won't clear debuff
And with 3 attack debuffs+ def buff i can manage it

Did Garuda have such a thing? I thought she had really high chance to do them without any buffs that you can cancel... It was long time ago so I am probably wrong, but all I remember is that she had strong single target overdrive in normal state and so-so overdrive on everyone in rage mode. I think I will go with Joan and my water team, as extra skill I might take dessertion for Garuda.
As for typhon, I think taking Siegfried with chaos magic is good idea. At the very least I want to try it out and see how it goes.

All things considered... I hate (like almost everyone else) having 2 advents right after other advent. I wish they would have gave us some warning about it.

hope we actually get the kamihime tickets in shop this time

Here's a rundown of Garuda Ragnarok, modified from what's shown on the JP wiki by using my Damage Calculator to normalize the damage numbers to completely unmitigated.

Normal attack: ~2700 damage
Special attack: Hits 3 random targets for ~3300 damage each
Normal Overdrive: ~8300 damage to entire party
Raging Overdrive: ~11,000 damage to a single target

Garuda Ragnarok doesn't appear to self-buff, however she hits hard and her overdrives are very dangerous. Black Propaganda is a must; neither massive AoE damage nor single-target KO can be endured multiple times in succession. This is the time to abuse ATK down stacking. Jeanne (damage mitigation), Andromeda (healing, Revive), or Mordred (Black Propaganda, debuff stability) are recommended for this fight.

This fight could be extremely difficult. Simply keeping your entire team alive until the first Burst may be very challenging, even for those with maxed teams.

i doubt it will change from what it is now.

As for Typhon Ragnarok, the DMM wiki didn't list the HP amount for the boss, or it's damage range. However based on their contribution, one round of normal Overdrive on a water party was around 4000 damage (with 1 buff of fire elemental resistance), and one normal attack, again with 1 buff of fire elemental resistance, was 2000 on a single member. And they recommend a party that focuses on self buff, rather than boss debuff, because Typhon has a random chance to completely dispel any and all debuffs on her. As far as they know, this dispel triggers in any condition, raging or not. Hence they suggest either Andromeda for the strong heal, or Joan for the self buff.

Personally, I'm going to run Joan with Black Propaganda, Shiva, Poseidon, Aphrodite and Sol, along with Yatagarasu as one of my six eidolons.

As for Garuda Ragnarok, again it is a damage-mitigation strategy as she doesn't have much tricky buff/debuff/overdrives to worry about. I'm again running Joan with Black Propaganda, Summer Sol, Amaterasu, Brynhildr and Agni.

Typhon Ragnarok (damage numbers normalized to unmitigated using my Damage Calculator)

Normal attack: ~3000 damage
Special attack: Removes all debuffs on self

Normal Overdrive: ~6000 damage to entire party, self ATK buff
Raging Overdrive: ~8000 (?) damage to entire party

Recommended souls: Andromeda (rapid healing) and Jeanne (damage mitigation).

Constant debuff removal means debuffs won't be very effective. You'll want defense debuffs on hand to buff your Burst, however. The normal overdrive is dangerous, so you'll probably want to use Jeanne to mitigate it. That'll also be the time to use any ATK down debuffs you have.

i guess that i confused garuda with someone else, but she did had some double-3 strike attacks there, even if not debuff.
i think that i'll go with arc+gaia after all as she can be troublsome with her strong attack...though not sure if to use black propaganda to delay the supermove or sniper shot to decrease her attack even more and also her defense.
well, i'll try it myself and record, hopefully i can survive before launching my full burst attack
but let's be honest, your water team is far stronger than mine so there higher chance for you to do it

Seeking advice.

My fire team is complete garbage, I was leveling up my light team because I thought we were having a dark event next.
My main element is wind so being able to grab the SSR weapon would be nice an a additional attack+ SR weapon would be great too. I don't need the Eidolon as my Quetz is maxed and has much better stats imo.
Not sure if I should MLB the fire team or just stick with my wind team for Garuda.

As for Typhon, my water team has improved over the last event, but I'm not sure if I should bother going for it because I don't have the elixirs to manage two events. So I believe I'm just going to focus on Garuda and hit up typhon for the half elixirs.

Anyway, suggestions would be appreciated. Current souls are arthur and siggy working on the healer next, but wont have her for another week.
Probably obvious, but what do you guys do with the extra SR weapons from disaster raids, two of my wind weapons are already maxed. Do you just use them as enhance material? Or do I begin ranking up the cross bow because it's +attack and get rid of the lunar axe because it's +Hp?
Thanks again,

~Fury~

P.S. Captannoob, Where do you find all of those +1 eidolons? XD
