Thread: [Event 28] Crucible of Combat vs The Demon Envy (Union Event)

Yes!

But the zombie ability wouldn't affect her in any way. She doesn't actually heal herself. She removes all debuffs she's afflicted with. I think you may have misread/mistranslated something?

I hope you guys are ready, cause this event is probably coming tomorrow or the next day.

They usually announce events ahead of time. Plus the Koihime characters are boosted until the end of the month.

I see it more likely that Envy comes on Thursday.

Union Name:Infinity

*No. of Members: 22/30

If you still haven't joined a union yet, we still have spaces left for event.

With there being that unusual 2 hour maintenance sunday night/monday morning I can see the event probably going live after reset tonight, that way it keeps both that event and the cross-over event both on a "7 days remaining" cycle when it activates so that they can finish them at the same time, making the switch into the Jack Frost event cleaner.

Pretty sure an Union event would require them to do some sort of maintenance beforehand, if only to make changes to the union system to prevent kicking/leaving at the very least. I also doubt they'll just randomly slap it in after a daily reset, without even a few hours notice beforehand.

But yea, they've most likely already added all the assets for the next events into the game, though it's still a toss-up as to when they'll actually start this next one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think the reason they made this even 2 weeks instead of 4 weeks is actually because they don't want to hold them on the same time.
so they most likely finish koihime event and only then start the union 1.

The only problem with this theory is that Koihime character gacha boost ends in a couple of days. If there's no new characters to replace the boost with, why end it?

Meanwhile, I can just barely solo up to around 75.. and that's only by doing manual. Auto I get destroyed around 50. The sad part is, I'm around R70 and I can tell I should be able to do more.. really need to work on my shit.

Hmm, you probably already know what I'm about to type up, but hell, I got the urge to ramble on about something in case some lurkers out there are less experienced...

So manually soloing expert is fundamentally composed of:
1. How much healing you have (particularly party-wide) compared against how much you can lower normal overdrive damage. That determines how long you can last; theoretically forever as long as your healing's good enough. +healing is critical here, although that's dependent on the union cooperating. -atk is also crucial as always here.

2. How reliably you can force the demon to do normal overdrives instead of raging; preferably at least 5 turns in between overdrives, as that's the cooldown for the Andromeda line of souls' healing spells. Of course, swap normal and raging around if the raging overdrive is the preferred one to be hit by. But for Envy, you want normal.
Being able to reliably force a mode change (ie normal->raging and raging->stun) in one round of regular attacks is the crucial first step here. This one's basically an issue of your stats and how much -def you're packing.
After that, you'll need either overdrive meter reduction skills (but not a lot of kamihime have those) and/or direct damage skills (plenty of these on the other hand!). You want the direct damage stuff to be able to hit hard enough to force the demon out of stun. Why out of stun? Regular attacking a boss out of stun for them to then take a turn still advances their overdrive meter by one orb. Using abilities to wake up a boss from stun means that a turn hasn't passed yet, so that the overdrive meter doesn't fill yet. Having the option to do either should allow you to decide whether the next overdrive to happen will be normal or raging. Direct damage skills can still be used to help you force the other mode changes, of course. It's about planning head 2-3 turns in advance. Unfortunately, dazzle can really screw with predictions here :/
