Thread: [Event 17] Dark Knight's Slaughter

EDIT: Near Phoenix level atk, I had forgotten just how abysmal Phoenix attack is.
2. The weapon is +HP and only usable by Arthur(/Gawain). At least it has decent attack value. The Burst "-atk" debuff is good (if only because it is usable by Arthur), but... I'm under the impression that originally, these effects were A Frame, but patched much later to be Eidolon frame? If so, it'll be months before the skill is properly useful.
3. You cannot afk this fight, at least not the red version.
4. Like in previous Raid events, even if you get the full PP reward, you're not guaranteed to MLB either one. You're likely to, but not guaranteed.
5. In just two weeks after this, the first competitive Union battle will begin, which uses the same resource as this event - Seeds.

... is it just me, or this event just "meh, skip" level? I mean, sure, grab what you can with natural AP and BP regen, but anything more than that just screams "waste of time and resources" to me otherwise.

1. Not only is this the first Dark eidolon with character ATK and HP boost--it'll be the only one. If you plan to run a Dark team, this eidolon gives you a way to boost your HP without sacrificing much damage. For teams that run without heals, this could be critical.
2. The weapon has an attack down debuff that has always been eidolon-type (proof: check the edit history of the wiki page for the weapon). However, every team should be running Jorm or Yatagarasu anyway, and their debuff is more versatile. Compared to those, this debuff is just a novelty.
3. The next Union event won't be competitive, unless Nutaku deviates from the DMM timeline. As above, you shouldn't rely on the latest version of the Wiki page for info, as the DMM version is 10 months ahead of us in content updates.

Overall, MLB'ing the weapon and eidolon seems more trouble than it's worth if you're not running a Dark team. But then, you could say the same about just about all Raid events...

well, maybe i see it a little...differently 'cause i'm using dark team, but i don't think it's all that bad.
i mean, for now medusa is my main eidolon and she boost 30%, so even if dullahan's attack is lower, she can boost the attack by 40% and also HP.
this axe can be held by arthur, and really, who will use a soul with dark weapon outside dark team? by the time i'll be able to use my yata/jorm i'll have to wait at least 8 turn while arthur can use her burst turn on the very first turn and give the attack debuff.
and that aside, the skill level of my weapon aren't as high so the gems and grails i can get there may help me with that.
also a small amount of jewels in gacha...
but, like i said i may think that way 'cause i'm actually using dark team XD

Wow i am so fcking far behind ... i havent even started yet ... goddamn wrk ... look like i am going all out 2morrow

Think I'm at about ~800 blue tickets now. Almost done with blue souls too and still no eidolon from gacha. Shit, not looking good.

I thought all my luck was drained when I dropped the first Dullahan copy, but about 150 blue tickets later I dropped another copy. Now all I need is to grab the first copy from PP and somehow drop another copy from blue tickets and I'm done with this event lol. I feel bad for those that haven't dropped a single copy from blue tickets, especially after that many tickets.

I'm new to the game, so I'm not very strong, but I am wondering how PP is calculated from battle.

Not sure if it's more efficient to gain PP from the level 30 boss (which I can sometimes take down to 10% remaining HP if my Nike doesn't die), or to just do the level 50 boss, and get a few good/well timed hits in before I die

For a new player, the best way is probably just joining a raid which has 2-3 players already. Then just set auto-battle on and wait until others kill the boss for you. When you have AP, create raids (Expert if you have the mats) and share them. Once somebody joins and debuffs the boss (bring your own Ambush (Gawain) or Sniper Shot (Dartagnan) if you have them, and don't use them before somebody else joins!), auto-battle and wait for him to finish it. You'll always get extra tickets for being the person who started the raid, and with luck you'll get second MvP for even more extra tickets.

Once you start getting your power levels up, maximizing your ticket income is probably the best way to get PP. They have a good chance of dropping 5000 PP, so getting that #1 MvP spot is really important. I haven't bothered soloing Dullahan, but seeing that I tend to get ~10k from each expert with other players, I'd assume it'd be about 20k solo. And I think it's like 10k PP from the tickets if you hit #1 MvP, on average. Sahatlig's toolbox might have more accurate numbers.

almost done with blue souls.damn i wish i found that mobile emulator sooner so i won't be so behind :O
don't worry, need just 1 copy from gacha so just stack your tickets a bit and used them all at once later

Not sure what emulator you're talking about. If talking about the chrome thing, still playing fine on it. Since I main light, I have no issues auto battling both experts.

Burst hour is pretty hilarious though, especailly if we have other players in with burst hours. 2-3 shotting Dullahan, after debuffs.

really, what version is your chrome? is your flash ia auto-active or not? using normal chrome it'll freeze at random times for a sec which is annoying.
tried the beta thing and it worked nice, till yesterday as it has so long loading after battles that i was forced to refresh browser, and even that took time.
so i'm using the mobile emulator that was suggested here in chrome issue thread and it works, but the screen is small.

if i join someone i'll put the game on auto too, may though not as much damage 'cause my light team is kinda weak.
as for burst time, i just go with dark team and use siegfried XD
