Thread: [Event 04] Advent Battle vs Typhon

Just did Ultimate twice. This fight is definitely a step up in difficulty from Garuda.

Typhon has 3 moves to watch out for:
Special (used randomly): Clears all debuffs
Overdrive (normal): Does 1-1.5k damage to entire group, attack up on Typhon
Overdrive (rage): Does 3-3.5k damage to entire group

Cassiopeia is your best friend on this fight to clear the ATK UP buff, and also for the extra healing. Debuffs are less effective since Typhon regularly clears them. If you have DEF DWN, you might want to save it for your Burst. Otherwise, buffs and raw attack power will serve you well. The goal is to clear the boss before damage accumulates; avoid letting the boss get off an overdrive during rage at all costs. Clear ATK UP buffs immediately (including on trash), or the extra damage will overwhelm you. DEF UP buffs are helpful to mitigate the AoE damage from the normal Overdrive.

Seems the AI isn't that smart either. Using its debuff recovery even when it has no debuffs on.

Tried again with my Arthur/Light team, went better and managed to clear before Overdrive fully charged. Might try Cassiopeia.

Only major problem is friend support is all over the place since people trying to use water teams.

As long as you have Chaos Magic equipped as an extra skill, you'll be ready for any contingencies. Using Cassiopeia herself is not mandatory.

Yea, it's just this one's a lot more difficult than Garuda which I did with no healers, relying on the occasional potion or 2 that drop, which wasn't always for sure. I don't feel I can exactly do that in this fight since the risk feels a lot greater.

Important to note that Mordred is less effective against this boss due to the random debuff clears. I had two runs of ultimate, one that was dead easy cause he never cleared any of my debuffs until the turn before they came off CD, and one that was incredibly difficult cause he cleared them right away. I think I'll take your suggestion and swap to roland (to negate overdrive damage) with chaos magic put in.

Tried Cassiopeia, which went fine, surprisingly, since I had no proper light eidolon friend support, though took far longer than I would prefer but I guess I may as well play it safe this event.

used my dark team...basically crushed em without worry....
