Thread: [Event 06] Advent Battle vs Medusa

It is hilariously stupid, 1 mis rage caculation and she wiped out the team in 1 turn with the single burst.

and also from the fact that most of the time u clear it easily then one and two times the boss just do all the bs and you lose with 30% medusa hp. So annoying.

The damage of your initial Full Burst, and your ability to end Rage within 1-2 turns, will determine your success (at least in Ultimate where Full Burst is always ready on turn 1 of Medusa).

I discovered that D'Art equipped with a light weapon is extremely effective for this fight. DEF-40%, a few stacks of Snatch, and her MASSIVE self-attack buff yield 130k+ burst combos, shaving off more than 50% HP in one round. That 'overkill' of the Rage bar causes Medusa to die before Stun breaks, meaning she has a maximum of 2x to use Petrification. So if Amon has Affliction Protection up and a second use is ready, you win guaranteed. I imagine that Arthur, or Gawain subbing ATK/DEF down from Granuille or D'Art, would do very well also.

The way I do it, she only gets to petrify once.

Instead of outright bursting on first turn, I just regular attack with my party once with all my buffs activated to build up her rage meter to about half. She usually tries to petrify after which misses because of Amon's buff, which is available to reapply.

Second turn I now use all my attack skills to put her into rage then I burst. All my buffs have already been activated last turn so they're still up. So in my case, she dies here. If she doesn't, then she's is stunned with 5~10% HP, enough for another set of regular attacks to kill.

And even in the case I for some reason couldn't kill her that turn she's stun, Amon's affliction protect buff is still available or up from the 2nd use, giving me another turn.

Though I'm using full light team (no SSR kamihimes) and have been doing this since 30k attack.

I am using Gawain + sniper skill from D'Art. She dies in 2 turns. Water team (Shiva, Belphegor, Nike, Amon + sub Gaia and that event SR, in any case sub members don't get to see any action) and little over 30k atk. Like Aidoru first I am using skills and they take her to rage (It's usually belphegor skill that does it and then it also decreases her rage meter, although it doesn't really matter that much) then ending first turn with auto attack because usually I am lacking that one turn to have full burst ready.

Second turn it's full burst and dead Medusa. If I take something useless (for me) like phoenix as support then it might take 3 turns.

Seems like 30k atk is that line where you don't need to be too stressed about fighting her.

I could really use a platinum chest or two to guarantee full LB on something.

This boss is effortless and I destroy it within a few turns....

...except for those moments she stuns everyone except 1 person who can't cure petrify, keeps everyone stunned the entire time until that one poor kamihime puts her into rage and she kills everyone.

Only happened once so far, but what a bunch of bullshit :P

Now that I am at 31k, killed her in one turn! Clearly taking Gawain instead of Andromeda was best decision I made in this game.

Yea, I can 1 turn her as well now. I could probably have earlier if I tried too but didn't want to risk it at the time. I've been using Achilles since I wanted to level her and didn't want to use her skill before bursting since it eats up all her buffs but if I use it before bursting, I end up 1 turn killing her. It's just nice seeing 140k+ from a single skill.

2 things make this battle really hard.

1) Using a Full Burst on the trash mob right before Medusa.
2) Toggling the "Auto On" button instead of "Burst On"

How much easier does Ultimate make farming? Running Extreme 70-80 times at 5-10 minutes a battle just to get Medusa halfway limit-broken is really wearing me down and making me question how much fun I'm really having with this game.
