Thread: [Event 10] Advent Battle vs Ixion

Rag = 3/5. Basically it comes down to whether if she focuses on my Heroic Spirit. Can't go too hard in the beginning without being able to stun her before her ougi. You have to be able to take out rage in 4 rounds of attacks. I don't apply my defense down debuffs in the beginning because she becomes raged if I do (45% down with Dark Amon and sniper).

And you need a lot of attack. I have a mono-black team, skill level 18, mostly assault weapons, and 3.8k attack on my grid. Otherwise, it's hard to imagine how someone does this. With Jean and a lot of heals? How much does she do with 50% attack down? Like 4k ougi and 1k autos? Maybe it would be easier if that's the case, but I certainly can't get that high (no sol T_T)

Using Joan's attack down, Zephyrus attack down, and Cybele's attack down, with Andro's def buff, and Rahab's lightning resistance buff, I got boss rage ougi down to 2k.

I don't think that's 50% attack down though since Jormy attack down missed so it could possibly get lower. If you do the defense buffs right before the first rage ougi they should last through the 2nd one also.

Could also potentially get it even lower if you had something like Perun, or Joans damage reduction, but if you used Joan you wouldn't have Andro's def buff anymore.

Got reasonably lucky with the hime ticket - ended up getting Hermod.

Oh, and some of you guys probably already noticed, but the Zealot's damage reflection has a time limit, so you can just wait for around a minute for the buff to run out.

Gaia, who can tank the normal overdrive every time if you're lucky with dizzies. But my Water team is unusable and my Wind team has 10% assault skill, which means I'm at the mercy of RNG. Jeanne + Gaia could add stability, but that has tradeoffs too. If Black Propaganda and other debuffs miss, you're probably boned.

I think Andromeda + Gaia + Black Propaganda on Andro would be all you needed for this event, no? Gaia can cut overdrive damage down by a lot, and Andro can rez dead individual hime and keep your entire team in the fight. Sadly obtaining Gaia isn't exactly reliable...

I've favored Mordred because she ensures that most of my debuffs land, plus I can slot in -20% DEF DWN. The problem with relying on Resurrection is that if you lose a kamihime, that's going to mess up your Burst. The added healing would be very nice, but if Black Propaganda misses that's GG. The non-Rage overdrive can 1-shot my non-Wind kamihime, so I can't be eating overdrives (even normal ones) back to back. I'm not sure what the miss rate on Black Propaganda is without Mordred's status effect resistance down debuff. If I was using my main team, I wouldn't be so dependent on Ambush for the damage buff, and a heal-based strategy would be more attractive.

I finally had a smooth run and got a clear without an elixir. No deaths, never ate a Rage overdrive.

From what I can tell, the people clearing Ragnarok in this thread without elixirs have the following:

• A main team that isn't water with 35k+ attack power and assault skill over 60%, or a Wind team with 35k+ attack power and assault skill over 20%.
• Multiple SSRs
• Gaia and/or Jeanne de Arc with Black Propaganda (both Jeanne and Mordred unlocked and leveled).

Those doing this without Gaia seem to have cherry-picked team compositions that are highly optimized for raw damage (e.g., a non-Water team with 3 SSRs of the same element). This allows them to quickly burn through the Rage phase without the use of Burst.

So here is video of me doing ragnarok. Sadly it isn't "easy" for me but somehow it works out. If anyone is curious why my soul is dealing so little damage with burst, it is because I am using R wind lance that you can get in gem gacha xD

You got really lucky that Jeanne double attacked on the round before your first Burst. And also that you didn't trigger Rage before the first overdrive (all it would've taken was a one or two extra double attacks). It seems like even those who don't rely on Dizzy are still relying heavily on RNG.

Also, protip: don't watch the Burst. You're wasting valuable debuff time. That WILL come back to bite you at some point if you keep doing it.

how do u not watch the burst? i thought its mandatory. is there a turn it off button somewhere?

By clicking reload button. I just felt like watching bursts in this video since it really didn't matter.

And I know I got lucky to not get double attack that would have sent her to rage phase, but I was taking that as possibility.
As for Jeanne getting to full burst? I really didn't have high hopes for that ( since my previous clear was only 3 kamihime using first burst)
