Thread: [Event 04] Advent Battle vs Typhon

From here on many of the eidolons' passives boost character damage and not elemental damage, making them inferior as primary eidolons. The temporary attack boost will be nice for buffing Bursts for all elements, however. Everyone will essentially have their own Fenrir buff.

Jeez, the burst damage buff half of the passive is a huge share of the power budget. Consider that the character buff half only scales from 20% to 30%.

Arthur+Michael+Ramiel=Burst every turn XD add burst dmg from the summon...

been doin ult Garuda w/o any ssr hime on 23-25k total strength just fine. does any1 know if Typhon stronger? what total str do i need to not get crushed on ult?

Best event SR Fire Sword btw for those who care. Currently there's no Event SSR Fire Sword nor ATK Event SSR Axe in JP, so if you main Arthur, you'll want max this SR Fire Sword out.

Took my water team out for a spin: Belphegor, Nike, Undine, Rusalka. I probably want a soul I haven't levelled. This isn't the best attacking crew.

I have no idea what this stuff does.

1) Drowned
2) Dizzy
3) Reflect (assuming this sends that 1k attack back... ew)

Figured it out. Just fancy names for DOT and charm.

Is typhon mono-element fire only?

If you never lost against Garuda you should be fine. The wiki recommends 32k vs. 30k attack strength, but it overestimated Garuda so...

Perhaps the numbers listed are based on the assumption that players wouldn't bother with proper team composition and just try to brute force their way through events?

There's about a 20% damage reduction vs the weak element attacks. If there is also a 20% boost to strong element damage, then 25K element specific is the same as an all-comer 30K.

Elemental weakness/advantage on its own is you take about -25% damage if you're resistant and about +45% damage if you're weak.
Interesting thing is that if you look at the provisional damage formula, weak point correction is lumped together additively with the other element related bonuses. Things like Apocalypse/Phoenix/Garuda's bonuses to specific elements, Ignited Dragoon's summon effect of +fire attack/+wind resist, Agni's +fire attack buff. So the more you can stack up +element attack stuff, the less relatively impactful elemental advantage becomes for you as an attacker.
On the other hand, if you stack up +character of X element stuff (which stacks additively with assault instead) instead of +element, elemental advantage retains the same relative impact.
On the defensive side of things though, since specific +resists aren't as easily stacked up, avoiding weakness is still the name of the game since eating an extra ~45% damage for free is never fun.
