Thread: [Event 03] Advent Battle vs Garuda

Experts hitting a lot harder than expected, though I am using 3 thunder members on my team that if I really felt it was necessary could swap over to a couple rare fire units.

The trash mobs don't hit hard unless you let the attack buffs stack. Even if that happens, the top two will spend 1/3 of their turns re-buffing instead of attacking. Much more dangerous would be 2 mobs with attacks buffs and 1 attacker-type with a powerful overdrive attack.

Not really the trash I'm concerned about. I can clear those in two turns generally. The boss has hit me for 6k before, or double attacks for 3-4k total because of the weaknesses.

Edit: I should also point out that rejuvenate is my only heal, lol

You need attack debuffs. Her overdrive during rage hits my kamihime for about 2.5-3k. Ultimate will likely hit much harder.

How much would you say it hits for unraged? And is that against Fire himes or something more neutral?

The unraged overdrive skill is a completely different type of attack. It's AoE rather than single-target.

*sigh* Every time dude? Really?

"How much are you being hit for, specifically by the completely separate unraged Area of Effect Overdrive skill from the Expert Level Garuda Event boss?"

R fire kamihime do just fine after they hit level 40 or so.

One of the tables on the wiki gives Expert difficulty Garuda as hitting for:
~1k per normal, high chance of extra hits while not raging
~1k per normal hit, 3 hits while raging
'over 1k' from the overdrive attack while not raging
4k to a single target from the overdrive attack while raging

Tricky part is I'm unclear about how well the contributor was at minimizing factors in order to get as close as possible to the raw base damage.
For what it's worth, I think somewhere around 1k or low 1k would be right for the base damage of the non-raging overdrive attack. I see high 3 digits to neutral kamihime after one atk debuff or another. I also find the 4k from the raging overdrive to be in the right ballpark, but I'm working backwards from the couple of hits I've seen with debuffs/buffs active. I'm also assuming the damage formula works both ways when doing the napkin calculations.
