You could bait the dispell from boss. I use Undine's aqua drowning let the boss dispell that then use belphegor's 7 deadly sins.

I mentioned before that the AI isn't too bright. It will use its skill to remove debuffs at random, even when it doesn't have any debuffs on in the first place.

You assume that Typhon uses the dispel skill intelligently to remove debuffs. I assure you that isn't the case.

Is it just me or is this event a lot harder then the other 3 its taking a lot more time for me to beat expert then before

I haven't tried Expert, but Ultimate is harder. An ATK debuffed trash mob (top in first pull) did over 3.6k damage in a single triple attack on light element. That mob alone is dangerous. The boss's rage overdrive can wipe your entire group if you don't have ATK debuffs or DEF buffs active.

A good strategy is to reserve debuffs for right before an Overdrive cast. That gives you 2 guaranteed turns of active debuffs before they can be dispelled. Even better if you can time it for right before a Burst. I managed to mitigate the Rage Overdrive to about 2.5k damage using this strategy and a triple healer party (Cassiopeia, Sol, Nike). Even after eating two Rage Overdrives in a row my party was still fine.

Expert is also harder in the sens you have to pay attention. I would not try to auto-attack your way through it.

Only thing you need to worry about in expert is making sure Typhon doesn't use its overdrive attack while raging. Aside from that, it's not too difficult, just a little time consuming. My alt account (that I use for spawning raid bosses) with a dark 20k team has no problem clearing it using Nike and Cass as healers. It's only 2 stages too and the trash mobs die real fast on expert.

i didn't even want to try ultimate when expert is giving me problems but maybe i should give it a try
my team is
roland
beelzebub
Mephistopheles
nike
brynhildr

Steer clear unless you can dispel the ATK buff.

havent had as much respect for Belphegor as i am right now: cutting rage meter by a third is a godsend when tryin to not get wiped with raging overdrive =_= combine it with Arthur's burst-on-demand and a good nuke and Typhoon is never raging XD
