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

Well, this is a difficult one for sure, as we'll have two events at the same time. Both the 2* week long Koihime, and after a week into that event, the dark union event will start.

Anywho... Nutaku shouldn't have any reason to change the schedule of when the dark union would be, so it's almost guaranteed to be during the Koihime event..then followed by Jack Frost.

I'll try to explain the enemies in a summary, and... make out what it means since the wiki's translation is pretty bad, but it seems that this demon is kind of similar to Typhon in the way that she removes debuffs.

Lilim Invidia - both standard and expert have buffs and debuffs, and deal overall damage to allies. Keep your defenses up, (hopefully) you have either Belobog, Sol or Vivian, as with the overdrive comes a team defense debuff. ATK down is also needed, as she increases her own. That's pretty much all there is to it.

Demon Envy - Now it's a tricky one for sure, and sounds incredibly annoying but.. I guess it'll be kind of similar to how Lust was, in the case that we won't have debuffs, and a lot of us managed it alright, though that's because fire teams can be somewhat OP... Anyways, Envy cures herself of ALL debuffs on a raging overdrive, so bringing your strongest debuffs as ex ability may be a waste, as many can join the battle at once and trigger her overdrive to the point where not a single debuff is on her when you need it most. Her normal overdrive increases her ATK power, so again, very similar to Typhon...

Useful Formation/Team/Debuffs(etc)

Well, I know a LOT of you won't actually be using your light teams, as light is probably the least focused on element if you aren't lucky enough to have Sol. I will use my light team though.

Some useful Kami for the Ultimate Demon would be:

Raphael
Sol - Chaos magic ability, can cure Envy's ATK buff.
Dagon
Satan

as for the other 3, they all have the same ability, a debuff that doesn't actually stay, so it can not be removed by her ability. It will just remove her charging orb, simple as that. It can be VERY useful in solo battles, and just one of the debuffs you can actually use.

and of course, any defense, healers are needed, so wind/thunder teams may not be ideal if you're not planning on using Light, unless you have a very high offensive team and just plan on going hard.

Rewards:

Same as usual, the target is 2.5M individual PP, 55M Union PP and 350 ultimate kills.
You will be able to receive Lilim Invidia, the dark axe(that grants rampage after burst)
the two SR's will be defender, so not really interesting...
premium tickets, jewels, etc.

Good luck everyone when the event comes around. Thought I may as well post it now, since Koihime is coming very soon and I've already posted about it.

... oh dear. Longevity is important in Union event fights, and that means using a Light team for the damage reduction. And my Light team is completely pits. Well, I guess I have Belebog... that's... something? I guess?

There's one lunatic who runs Light main in my Union, I hope he'll have lots of time to play in this event. Would certainly like that Dragon Eye Shard from 300 Ults, not sure can I carry there by myself considering.

so she can cure heself with her raging overdrive? hmm...at least it's not as annoying as typhon random cure.
it's true that more players can triger her overdrive, but they also can do their debuffs after she cured herself.
black propaganda will be a must and skills like satan, cthulhu etc to reduce charging orb also be nice (though it'll help only to the caster)

I think I'll just do the 350 Ultimates and after proceed with Expert only since I'm low on seeds from Jack 'O Lantern

Those things would mean people actually doing Union events on manual rather than auto-skill...

hopefully, maybe some players will still ignore it and keep auto-battle her XD
not sure if to use my dark team as i have satan to reduce her charging orb or maybe my water team as i just got cthulhu recently...
either way my water grid is kinda low so i should start to work on it for now

oh shit, I can actually use Nebiros zombie spell thingy on her

Yes!

Don't know about boost, but karin and sun quan will be in gacha till december 10th, after koihime ends.
After it? Maybe light satan, hermod and perun?
Maybe they'll add uriel and water rephael as we already had garuda/typhon rematch before so i doubt they'll do a 2nd reprint that fast

※Available in Gacha until 20:00 12/5 [PST]
・New Characters Boosted Gacha (Until 20:00 11/30[PST]

Water Raphael and/or Dark Amaterasu would be a possibility, true.
Uriel is part of x-mas, so not that one.

Check the last news, they fixed the names of the koihime characters and below that you can see that they changed it from 12/5 to 12/10
