My -70% debuff lineup with Himeshara used to deal 6M at most (1x power) vs. Level 240 raid bosses, but I wasn't going to be contented with that. Swapping my ojou-sama with Kerria, my debuff lineup has been dealing 12M damage consistently, or better yet, killing them.
Congrats!
I agree with the usefulness of Damage Negation, especially in Re:Sakura/Ume where the mist in the beginning gives them high accuracy. Negation indeed averts guaranteed turn 1 deaths. In Re:Protea though, the enemies' AOE firepower + relentless re-act just overwhelms Negation, so simply outnuking them might be the best option.
Hoshi's revival arguably isn't useful in a crit lineup. She revives 3 with only 50% health which isn't saying much for glass cannons or units that lack survival mechanisms. I see her having a greater merit on a debuff lineup or a counter/def hybrid which can get more juice out of their second chances.
Yes, the quests you see are from clearing EX-Destruction dungeons, not once but several times. You get a rainbow skill flower and an associated Aqua Shadow figurine on the last part (clear 25 times). There are other rewards before them, e.g. Ampules, Forge Spirits.Wait... what the heck are those quests ?
never seen anything like that, that gives you blooms and garden stuff. What mission are they tied to ?
Are these the super hard Aqua Shadows ? Interesting coz I dont think I had a mission completed pop out at me after I beat them.
The full table of quest rewards is on the patch thread.
