Thread: [Event 26] Advent Battle vs Sphinx

bought 2 Sphinx-chan

flipped a quarter whether to go for the event weapon or Eidolon

Union mates don't really seem to understand the benefit delaying DPS and/or Black Propaganda, so I made a video about it. Simply put, the whole idea is to avoid Rage Overdrive and eat normal Overdrive on purpose.


I played far from perfect, with two big misplays on Raiko especially, but hey. And yes, against high attack events like Sphinx, it's always that messy with a Thunder team. Only wiped once so far though, and that was when Ambush got resisted.

It simply gives you 4 turns for raging overdrive instead of whatever else you would have if you had gone full offensive at first. Strong team probably don't even need to worry about it.

I've had a couple bad attempts where my team double/triple attacked to much pushing it into rage to early, but in my case, I still have multiple skills to help me through and end results were more or less the same if I didn't push.

Not quite. Full Burst is what will definitively end the Rage phase. For most teams, 4 turns is not enough to have a Full Burst ready. 7 could be (though generally isn't for me due to my damage mitigation).

If you have a cleanse, it doesn't really matter. But not all teams have access to a cleanse without sacrificing a debuff slot.

Can confirm, -55% attack and cleanse for the debuff and you just don't care about the overdrive, just burst her down, pushes the countdown back to the second raging overdrive burst. And even then there is a good chance that the last two remaining himes might win the fight for you.

Sphinx=chan is my first max Event Eidolon

If you can clear Ultimate it can be done without half-elixirs, while absent for half the day. A strong team can even do it on Auto.

Looks like 2 overdrives is enough to wipe you. Having only -25% ATK really hurts. In my case, I'm running with -65% ATK so the normal attacks barely tickle, and I've never lost a character before Full Burst is ready. But I also can't typically get off a Full Burst until the 2nd overdrive hits.
