Thread: [Event 06] Advent Battle vs Medusa

All the new features and souls were written in the event announcement right on the game page. They didn't just add it without saying anything.

That Spartacus damage really tempts me to try her out. I was saving SP for 1 st legendary, but with the light hime who give buffs seems like she and Achilles would be better than any legend except Seig. The best I am doing now is farming standard.

Spartacus and Achilles seem to be only good in short bursts, as in when trying to do as much damage in little amounts of time. Depending on where you are, can be risky to use for this event and not exactly necessary but it was just nice seeing that high of damage using a standard soul.

Oh, it was in the text announcement below the game, but wasn't mentioned in the in-game event popups. If they were going to include it in a text announcement, they should've given it its own dedicated announcement and header. The event announcements have become so monotonous (new event, new kamihime in Gatcha!) that no one actually reads them anymore.

So yea, the Spartacus/Achilles/Hercules line is the 2nd attempt at the archetype the Solomon line was supposed to exemplify; the cooldown based attacker.
Hercules comes out like ~3.5 months later, I think. Her release state was considered underpowered, so later her skill cooldowns got lowered and durations extended by a turn each.

Is it just me or is the medusa event easy for anyone with high damage potential but hard for peps who dont have hard hitting teams? At first glance the event seemed insane because medusa constantly kept stunning almost the entire team. That combined with her rage skill one shotting 3 party members made it seem like it was the hardest event to date. But after failing to do expert i (assuming i would use a lot of potions i will admit) managed to do ultimate with much more ease because the two waves of enemies made it easier to control when to release all the skills plus the burst damage. Heck, by the third turn agaisnt her she was already dead. Mind you, its still absolutely bs that she stuns for 3 turns when it hits, but considering how squishy it is, it makes way more sense now.

Edit: As in the sense that, stronger players will probably say the event is too easy becuase they deal so much damage they barely see her attack, lower leveled players will say its too hard because their fights last longer so they can see how insane she is because of her poison plus stun plus high hits for rage. I honestly cant tell if its balanced compared to the other advent events.

I absolutely don't have a hard hitting team, but having access to 2 sources of debuffs that are not tied to skills (Amon/Behemoth) makes this fight trivial. I put my Behemoth as my main, so that everyone that sees me has this combo.

Medusa almost rages a second time before I kill her. Long, easy fight.

My mistake was trying to save my Burst for Rage. You can't do that, because by then half your party could be disabled. Have to unload at the start, throwing her immediately into Rage, and then get the Rage meter down within two turns with attack skills and normal attacks. That's not the strategy I'd use on most bosses.

Only played a few days total and can't beat anything higher than Beginner. Is it still possible, however unlikely, to get the drops to get Medusa, or am I just fucked in regards to this event?

You'll need to beat standard for a day's runs at least to get Medusa, I think. It's quite possible you could get to that point by the end of the week. If not, you'll definitely be there by the Apocalypse renewal in two months. Apocalypse is better than Medusa anyway.
