And back on topic, it seems there should be a maintenance today for the DP crossover rewards. I really hope they add in our summer girls too, they're overdue.

Saw the animation come up for new weapons and summer Sol when I refreshed the page a tick after 11 PM EDT, before the maintenance started. So I'm pretty sure they are coming.

You need to be a member to post links, so get that 20 posts. Other than that you can post them in creative way, like remove dots from your link or put spaces after them.

I would post video about Phoenix ragnarok but it would be boring because I am always waiting for her buffs to expire. As for Apocalypse... I am really unlucky with her and right now I am just playing with different setups.

Well, I am doing them all with water team. The problem with Apocalypse is that if I don't get her dizzy at least 2 times then I will die. If she focus on my soul = I die. If she keep on spamming her special ability = I die.
It's really troublesome.

yea, she is troublesome indeed.
i tried to beat her just once in ragnarok level but around 1/4 of her HP left so i kinda gave up XD

I'm 6 for 7 on Apocalypse Ragnarok, and 7/7 on Phoenix. I tried several setups on Apocalypse, but I ended up using my typical water team:

• Andromeda (heals, defense up for overdrives, Resurrect) with Black Propaganda equipped (+1 to overdrive meter)
• Belphegor (Massive rage meter reduction, type B atk/def debuff)
• Triton (ATK down and combo attack down, self-heal = good frontline tank)
• Shiva (spike DPS to end Rage quickly)
• Sol (heals, attack down, clear Blind)
• Eidolons: Character ATK up 40%/HP up 20%, Behemoth 45% (massive damage boost to a combo water/light team, second Blind removal)

I let Apocalypse use her first overdrive, clear the debuff, use Black Propaganda, then push into Rage. I partial Burst to end Rage before her 2nd overdrive. Once she uses her 2nd overdrive, I let Black Propaganda expire, reapply debuffs, and repeat. If no characters die, I Full Burst during Rage and that usually takes her to low HP. If 1 character dies, I should still be able to push her out of rage before the 4th overdrive for an easy victory. If two characters die, the battle gets interesting and I might have to eat a Rage overdrive.

I've found that the keys to this fight are:

1. Black Propaganda
2. Damage mitigation with high levels of ATK DWN (ideally -50%) combined with strong healing (~550 per turn)
3. Sufficient burst gauge reduction / spike DPS to end Rage in 3 turns or less without a full Burst, as needed
4. 2 sources of Blind removal (which can kill your burst gauge generation and get you stuck in Rage)

The one time I lost was when I brought Gaia along to mitigate overdrive damage, but then mistimed her damage reduction ability and ended up eating an unmitigated normal overdrive out of stun. After that, I decided that stacking ATK DWN to -50% with combo attack down was a more reliable way of mitigating damage.

1 more ultimate and more or less done with this event. Max break 1 each SSR weapon and eidolon along side a couple SR assault weapons. Probably used 80~90+ elixirs. Thankfully I've been able to buy 6 every day. 2 from Ixion, and 4 from these 2, which I think I'm gonna end up saving all my leftover materials for. After this event is a raid event and after that is the first union event, don't want to feel like I'm dragging down the team cause I burned through most of mines this event.
