Thread: [Event 21] Crucible of Combat vs The Demon Lust (Union Event)

Yes, it took them like a month to realize how horrendous the 70% character attack for 3 characters is, and thought they could fix it by making it 90%. I guess I could add the buff date to the Encyclopedia.


Anyway, somebody said that Expert tends to give you your Seed back and... well, turns it out does. So I spent five hours watching YouTube and Twitch while auto-skilling my way through Experts for giggles. I did the sheer majority of level 30 -> 97, had a wipe at 95. Now my Union members aren't all that pleased with me, they're complaining that Expert is now too hard! I guess the nightshift especially won't be all that pleased, but maybe they can actually work on Ultimate this time around.

... certainly not doing that again though, my god. Even though it was auto-skill, that was still exhausting.

i barely did 1 or 2 experts the whole event so i don't really know, but is there a nice chance to find SR material weapon out of them?
now that we got all the rewards that all what i need to improve my grid level so wondering if i should stick to ultimate or go for expert instead.

Expert reward was a fairly consistent 2x R fodder (50/50 Wind Eidolon/Hammer), 1x Seed, 1x SR fodder (50/50 Wind Eidolon/Sword). For 1 BP. Uh, I didn't exactly write them down though, maybe there was some T2 Crystals in there.

Whileas Ultimate is... 1-2x R fodder, no Seed, 1-2x SR fodder (33/33/33 Wind Eidolon/Sword/T3-freaking-Crystal)? For 3BP, feels like getting gibbed.

Expert is probably my pick if you're looking for just SR weapon materials. An individual Expert presumably has lower odds of dropping an SR material, but BP-wise you get 3 cracks at Expert for every 1 Ultimate, and time/effort-wise, Expert's just a lot quicker/easier. Also, while the T3 crystal is in Ultimate's reward list, I don't think that I've seen it in Expert's so far.

I actually don't remember if Expert can drop T2 crystals, but if it does, it's significantly less prominent than T3 crystals from Ultimate.

as i want to get more seeds for jack o latern event and there is also a chance to find weapon mats for just 1 BP, i think i'll do expert from now till the end of the event.
thanks for the info :O

Why are they complaining? You get a seed even if you're not mvp/vice, so I don't see a reason to complain. They just need to work together to kill them to get their seeds.

damn you guys are already done

IDK about individual but my Union is almost done w/ Ultimate Sub and Regular Union (imo wut do you call it?)

I feel sad for your union

I've just soloed a level 72 Ultimate Demon, it was the most rewarding feeling when I got it with 40% DEF Debuff and was hitting for 46k per hit

Truly satisfying
