Thread: [Event 10] Advent Battle vs Ixion

Sooo can anyone tell me what's the freaking point of doing Ragnarok difficulty again?
It's a complete waste of time and effort that only gives you drops equivalent of a standard difficulty drop rate (ONE freaking gold chest. ONE!) and the "Demonic core" whatever thing that you only get once a day can ONLY be traded in for a useless R-rank chalice. I know it's not completely useless but it's skill enhance boost rate isn't even anywhere as good as the SR fodder weapons you get from Disaster raids.

Someone PLEASE tell me that those cores become more useful somewhere down the line in future advents...

Regarding Ragnarok difficulty, I didn't expect the first non-rage overdrive to 1-shot the target (almost 7k with attack down debuffs on light kamihime). I then messed up the timing of my defense buff due to Black Propaganda during the Rage phase, causing a wipe at 40%. Managed to clear it with an Elixir.

Overall, I don't think reliable clears are possible unless you have 35k+ attack power, significant assault skill (30% or more Wind, 80% or more for non-weak elements) on the team you're using, and important SSRs (e.g., Gaia). You need to be able to get the boss into Rage mode before her overdrive is ready and then reduce the Rage meter to 0 before the 2nd Overdrive, all in 7 turns and likely without the use of Burst. Not to mention you have to be lightning quick with skill usage so your debuffs don't fall off at inopportune times (I never use this team so that was a problem).

Ultimate wasn't an obstacle, as expected, though reliable clears on Auto with my current team probably aren't possible.

The cores from Ragnarok are used to purchase Dragon shards later on, which can then be converted into guaranteed SSR kamihime tickets (300 cores = 1 ticket). So 150 Ragnarok clears minus whatever you get from weeklies.

Ended up having to use an elixir for Ragnarok. Got down to about 1/4th HP. Though most of it seems to be more or less luck for me, was being extremely reliant on dizzy. When my attempts to reapply failed (2 dizzy skill himes), I wiped pretty fast after. Either eating a 4k raging overdrive or a single 7k regular overdrive... I have only regen healers though so that was one of my biggest issue after taking a raging overdrive hit and regular overdrive can pretty much 1shot my himes which is just as dangerous. I probably won't bother using elixirs anymore, just for the first clear.

gold chest at expert doesnt drop much as the previous advent event?
i remember having 3-4 then but now i rarely getting 2

Wasted 30 ap because error. My team is in auto mode without skill but cannot be controlled let alone stopped. All the button just not responsive. ah well

Yea should have tried that. I realized it too late. It got error in crucial moment too.

lucky ppl, im still able to clear only expert, doing it manually... guess will forfeit the expert and just auto-grind normal one

Ragnarok difficulty: she hits faaaaaaaaaaaaar too hard. Without a decent way to get improved hp on wind characters she is pretty much just nearly 1-shooting any character with anything but her "standard" attack and with no trash mobs to get possible healing items from you just doing nothing to her. Even worse if you get unlucky and just spams Vorpal Blade near every turn.

I'd say my team is pretty decent (not the best but can do ultimate very easily) and I can't even get her to 30%.

I finnaly understand why (at least for me) Ixion is far more difficult than say, Medusa. Becuase if you accidently trigger her rage, every 2 turns she WILL cancel your burst, no ifs or buts. "oh, but why dont you time it so you burst after she rages" Because im an idiot! Once i get the hang of it i think it will seem much easier, but right now its basically a buttload of damage and no good greens, might as well go freaking water this round, because disturbingly enough ive had more success with my bloody water team than any other... wow im salty.
