Please tell me that's not normal.

I can't bear to watch that video, but from what I can tell:
1. You really should be running Zephyrus. The C frame atk debuff is really, really good against powerful attackers like Mastema. Sol is obviously better should anyone have her.
2. If possible, tone down your damage until Mastema has used the first Overdrive. Mastema's non-Rage Overdrive is a joke. Thus, you really, really shouldn't have used Iblis' all elem+ skill until after the first Overdrive.


In other news, I feel like a damn fool. Up until today, I was stubbornly trying to make my Thunder team work for Ragnarok Mastema, but the problem was just too much damage output. It was basically impossible to not hit Rage before first Overdrive, and my attempts crashed and burned whenever I tried to avoid that. Like, not using def down debuffs? Nope, still Rages. That was one day lost.

So today, I went with my crappy Wind team, maybe like 40% Assault skill, Joan+Cybele+Zephyrus... and did it easily. No problems at all. Rage Overdrive did like 1500 to all through Joan's -40%, and I easily had enough DPS to push Mastema out of Rage before the second one. Sigh, so many days lost.
wow, bully!!! but sorry for the bad lags, no one ever watches my videos cause of it :P
I always have shitty lag in game, more so when I'm recording ofc lol, it's just my shitty old laptop, he has seen better days XD
thanks for the advice though, I may attempt tomorrow with Zephyrus too, instead of Heimdallr or Odin.. maybe i'll switch to using my Sleipnir again or my quetzal though she's just 35% atk, 15% hp... then I can use a better elemental boost like Garuda or even Behemoth lvl 70+ ..
my wind team has around 66% assault and i still can't beat her, though other in my team had around 40% too and beat her... hmmm... I guess I just suck

wanted to try it with my fire team.. unlimited healing! (using andromeda) high def, 40% def debuff, just 20% atk debuff though but i can change soul to arc easily.. much higher grid than wind for sure, and better eidos to pick from (fafnir at MLB for example).. could be nice, it was my original plan before the union event, but managed to improve my wind grid from being my worst to my 2nd best. :P

thanks for the advice again!
