ANNND It's up!

Barely won, 3 golds dropped, all SR weapon upgrades...

Hahaha, nearly same here. 1 jar and 2 enhance.

I had been sleepwalking through the trash mobs at the beginning on the old one, so I kind of goofed up on this one at first not expecting them to have so much health. They didn't kill anybody, but it did screw up my timing for making sure I had Burst available for Garuda.

Garuda fight was mostly the same, except that she could definitely murder any of my people if I slipped up or just rolled the dice wrong. My team is only 18k and Wind Based, so the bar isn't a hell of a lot higher for people who were already basically autoattacking through the Expert version. I'm kinda meh about the whole thing after they blew it so hard this weekend though, this event was huge for my team and 300 jewels ain't gonna fix that.

Did my first try of Ultimate.

I was stupidly close to losing with my full fire team of Rs and 25k attack.


Not sure if I can grind that one.

am i the only one who will keep doin ultimate just for the feathers? cus i need alot of them for dem Soul P...

I'm barely clearing Ultimate with 23.4k attack power (I'm running a mixed team of Fire and Water, with Water as my main element). I actually found that Garuda's Overdrive during Rage was no more punishing than Expert. It hit me for about 3k. Definitely not 7k. The non-rage Overdrive hit for about 1k AoE with most of my attack debuffs on. She was definitely dealing out damage faster than I could heal, particularly once Nike went down.

I cried ... both from happy and sadness.
Sad becoz

Happy becoz, Im not alone...

It's... fine, there's just kind of a loss of momentum and morale since it was expected yesterday, so on top of just the general disappointment and Sunday being a hell of a lot better time for playing than Monday or Tuesday, we get less time to farm it now as well. It's just kind of an overall shitshow.

Let alone that there's still a risk of getting weapon enhancements in the gold chests because reasons. It's just overall disheartening as a group.

omg, just did ult run and got no enhancement mats whatsoever! didnt know this day would come! feelsgoodman XD

What team are you using for ultimate?
My 23k whites was destroyed in the end.

I'm running with Siegfried (SR Fire Disaster Hammer, Gawain's Defense Down skill equipped), Amon, Sol, Nike, Belphegor (Water is my usual team element). That gives the potential for double attack and double defense down. I also have 3 Apocalypses, which I rotate to make sure Blind is up on Garuda. Garuda's normal attacks are much more dangerous than her skills--if she lands a triple attack someone is going to die--but as long as she misses you're fine. I tend to lose about one kamihime per run with this setup, though double healer gives the team a fair amount of endurance. I've cleared the fight in 4/4 attempts with this setup.

I also have Fire R kamihime as reserve, so if I do lose a kamihime the replacement is strong, and I should have debuffs already up so I should be able to slog on if I lose a debuffer or a healer. If I lost my soul early in the fight I might be in trouble, as Siegfried's skills are important, as are the additional damage and buffs/debuffs from the eidolons.

finally got Garuda! don't think I get a 2nd one though

let see wut to buy
