Thread: [Event 06] Advent Battle vs Medusa

The hard part will be getting gold chests to drop, but I doubt it's impossible. Certainly once you can beat standard, you will get at least one of each Eidolon and Weapon. If you keep at it, you will probably beat standard before the event is over.

I'll keep at it then. So far I get her to about half, but I just get attritioned to death from the poisoning.
Attack 9546
Team
Rosenkruz - 13
Acala - 35
Brynhildr - 30
Amon - 30
Cebyl - 13

Sub
Kushinada - 15
Nike - 30

Acala aside, I haven't been very lucky in my drops, so that's really all I have.

That's not the strategy I'd use on most bosses.

My strategy so far is to "prepare" the 3 turn buffs (atk, element dmg, amon´s skill etc) in the fight before medusa so i can start with a burst hit, which makes her go into rage and deals around a bit over half her hp. Then i use skills (god bless rampage) so its enough damage to beat her before she can go into her second stone skill. I will agree though, normally id be worried about getting a boss into rage mode on the first turn, but so far she seems to be squishy enough that its not really a problem. Its kind of funny because its the first ultimate boss i can beat without revives. I heard you needed to have at least 32k to beat ultimate, but i guess you can only check that kind of stuff on a case by case basis.

I'm beating her consistently on ultimate with a 27k attack fire team, and my amon is only like level 35. Just go into the fight with amons debuff nullification on, get her to rage immediately through autos/abilities, set up some eidolon buffs, and burst her on turn 2 (3 if unlucky but that gives her more chance to stone you).

Getting way too many gold chests, not enough bronze...

You'll need the golds for the 4th+ unlocks, don't worry!

Have you tried following my guide? 24k ATK should be enough to use it on Expert.

For the most part yes. I haven't been using any Hime that have defense break on them, this could be my problem?
Picture was not clear, been using Seigfried (maidens prayer), Gaia, Brynhildr, Amon, Nike, Artemis(sub), Baal(sub)

going to try swapping Nike for Cybele

What is really strange, mb you do something wrong? I am killing expert even with mine team, slow killing mobs, when do full debuff+buffs at medusa, slowly get her max rage, burst when medusa have half hp, have behemoth friend summon. Mordred dots is so op, it is half of mine dps. I think you should swap Nike and Artemis, you already have good healing.
