Cause GO is all about the pace, AQ5 is a dps race, you either have the dmg to stun her before her ougi or you don't (or you throw enough dmg cuts to survive), doesn't get harder than that.

If this is demonstrably true, then MagicSpice got quite a bit better between AQ5 and the last GO? Seems like his biggest problem might be due to not being able to estimate difficulty accurately rather than anything else...

No idea, i don't check his videos cause the quality bothers me, but plenty of people i know (veterans mostly) are stomping AQ5 just by fullbursting andro from rage to 0, when you get to that point you wont ever worry about AQ5, if this isnt the case then stack dmg cuts in some way, gaia kaisers you name it, works too.

For those who used Andro, did they use Andro Soul wep?

He means Andromalius.

And I don't think anyone uses Andromeda unironically in AQ5 tbh.

And if they do... probably yes.

only time i could really see someone getting andromeda's weapon is for a thunder team though... if they aren't trying to go a DPS route and actually wants some safety healing... even then, i myself wouldn't suggest that since thunder is like fire and is more centered around killing before getting killed

actually, my light team has more or less hit the peak for their grid for a while now until i get some better weapon effects. I have tons of dual weapons, but some are packing things like small assault and medium defender, which I plan on replacing with other weapons at some point.

and honestly, not sure if anyone gets difficulty exactly right. i'm honestly gauging things on my experiences cause GO crom wipes out most of my light team for sure, but GO jorg can only kill off 1-2... sometimes no one depending on who her trigger targets... RNG does play a slight factor too, considering the only time i lost anyone in AQ5 was that first vid since i gauged the rage meter wrong and just barely missed the stun mark cause not enough DA and TA went off

i generally have less trouble in GO than AQ5... yet I have more trouble trying to solo Catastrophe fights...

actually, i don't think it's a difficult thing for some teams... a few elements are built around DPS, a few can pull it off but needs some effort, and then there's water..... good luck with that...

it's another case of "depending what you have", but since damage cuts can work, it's a bit more lenient (cause water can combine joan and snow raph's damage cuts to tank it at least once... depending on how high your HP is...)

honestly, some responses on my vids and in my union claim it was a cakewalk, and others would rather stick to AQ4 cause they got their ass handed to them. it's starting to look split between "easy" and "difficult"

Actually it's quite easy to do AQ5 with water with elemental advantage as long as you have either poseidon or osiris (or both), bring joan, a pair of jack frost, toss on kaiser buff... tank the overdrive like its a joke.

Well, I think this is the smoothest run I've gotten yet:




in fact, my SSR drops are looking kinda nice so far. Even marked the ancient ones I've gotten (either from quest reward or drops)

I have a tiara and a ring, both have def+, the tiara also has mode gage reduction and affliction resist,, and the ring has atk+. Ashould I use the ring for the bonus, or the tiara for the stats?

If you want to enhance: wait for better accessories.
If you just want to use as a placeholder: use ring.
