Thread: [Event 06] Advent Battle vs Medusa

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.

Ultimate gives you 3-4 gold chest instead of 1 usually for expert. It also has 2*2 waves of trash instead of 1*3 which means more common ingredients. So yeah, it makes farming a lot easier.

I understand that some ppl feels discouraged (and it will be worse next week with raid event) but i think its a matter of priority :
There is events constantly, with an interval of 2-3 free days each time.
If you're low on power, there is no point trying to full lb items, because its a pain in the ass and it will be a pain in the ass again next event.
You'd better buy the low prices items, and focus on lvling up your team.
Note that Medusa effect arent that great (both passive and when summoned), so its not a big deal if you don't max her since you'll be able to replace her soon or later.

Few advice to lvlup your team effectively :
Focus on an element. Its better than changing your team each time to match the strongest element vs what you're fighting.
Having a secondary team which cover your element weakness can help a lot though (Water / Wind, Fire / Thunder)
Lvlup your chosen kamihime with SP daily quest.
Create 1 (or more) alt account to host raid of your chosen element. Standard boss is advised for weapons and mats farming.

Ofc you can still choose to play casually, and only grab 1-2 copy of each item, and forget ultimate completely. But farming expert intensively is nonsense imo.

For a vague idea, I have 83 of the gold turn-in after running Medusa 6-8x a day. I also have around 20 of the SR glaive enhance materials, and have gotten 2 platinum chests (2x SR defender weapon). So I'd still need need a platinum chest drop to reasonably full limit break the eidolon, although I could probably full limit break the weapon if I used the half-elixirs I've gained from the event.
