Thread: Accessory Quests

Dark trash is as follows:
Imp: 3 orbs, AoE attack
Guillotine: 2 orbs, single-target attack
Banshee: 1 orb, single-target Charm (no damage, high proc rate)

I killed the Imp first. None of the attacks were particularly dangerous with ATK debuffs active. I countered the Banshee with Poseidon's debuff protect.

Mid-boss: 4 orbs, high-damage single-target attack

I countered this with Gaia. I missed a Guard once and got hit for 2-4k or so.

Overall, Dark was probably the easiest and most straightforward of the elements so far.

It's saturday, so time for my main team to shine. pun intended

Since my light team is my strongest, this was very easy for me, even if I don't have Sol yet.

Banshee's overdrive is just silly.

2nd stage boss was pretty hilarious my first attempt, I didn't think I'd do so much damage on it and my full burst destroyed it, only leaving a few turns worth of regular attacks. I didn't even have any time for cooldowns and went into the last stage without a single debuff skill up. How to deal with this my next 2 attempts...? Don't use def down debuffs? Pft, even better idea. Use St Nickolas's def up buff on everything on the field. Lol. Now she has some use.

As for the final boss, I can deplete its rage meter in 2 turns, Raphael's rage reduction+full burst and another turn of regular attacks is enough, so I don't have to worry too much about pushing even with a few charges and even in case I do, Raph with her overdrive reduction. This fight was actually quite nice since I get to fully charge Metatron.

Though not sure if I can win without using at least one Hecatonchires, in case someone gets heavily single targeted. Thankfully I don't need wait for a friends to pop up and can just use a randoms.

Only got 1 SSR accessory as a drop. Better than none like yesterday I guess.

New tool: Accessory Enhancement Calculator
To address questions about accessory enhancement, I've made a tool that models that accessory enhancement process, allowing you to see the result without committing your precious accessories and gems to oblivion. More importantly, it allows you to optimize the upgrade process to use fewer gems, as upgrading higher level items requires exponentially more gems. Therefore, you'll want to enhance in the fewest batches possible.

Sunday's accessory quest is pretty dang dangerous. You still get the trash, the mid boss and the last boss but their elements are randomized by stage, trash mobs won't be mixed. Encountered thunder trash, water mid boss and thunder final on my attempt using my light team. Ended up using an elixir. Will probably just run rank3 for the rest my uses.

I'm not sure if it's worth the gamble if you don't have an extremely strong dark or light team to be honest. The risk of encountering an elemental weakness. Unless you're a whale who can use an elixir every run if needed. Though you could always get lucky too.

Guess what I encountered? Thunder trash, Thunder mid-boss, and Thunder final boss--all with my Water team on my very first attempt. That's 3/3 elemental disadvantage against an element we haven't even encountered yet. I actually managed to clear it with 1 Elixir. Debuffs falling off is actually what killed me, ironically. They got out of sync due to a bad transition, misses, and general panic. I also had some bad RNG with my Soul taking some focus-fire. I kind of wish I recorded it, as it was the most epic battle I'll probably ever face.

I did rank 1-3 this time since the reward is jewels. I went with light and rank 3 took forever. No one went down, but it took forever since the boss was also light.

Holy shit.

Again, I'm a week behind most on this Accessory stuff since x-mas took away quite some days from me, plus I wanted to get T1-T3 done on all elements first just because of reasons.

So today, was my first T4 Sunday. Well, I didn't want to run T4 on Thunder just because Wind bosses are ASS, plus lack of debuffs. So I ran Andromeda with Sniper Shot, Ryu-Oh, Sol. The plan was just to endure and outheal, while using Triton's combo- to keep single target assaults away and clearing last boss Rage meter with OP Belphegor. Felt off to put Shiva in the backrow, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

Wave 1, Fire. Wow, easiest trash with no tricks against their weakness?
Wave 2, Light. With double healers, this can feel like a bad thing, but with -70% Atk you hardly need heals to begin with.
Wave 3, Thunder. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I had full Burst remaining after Pegasus, and it was fucking terrifying to see that it was less than 25% Rage bar increase. It didn't help that debuffs kept getting resisted, despite Sphinx not getting resisted once.
I somehow managed to do it without Elixir, but jesus christ. I don't think I could've done it if I had gotten Thunder wave2 as well.

I tip my hat to you, good sir. I tip my hat.

Even though I'm sure your Water grid is notably better than mine (97%+14% here now), that's still just god awful to fight.
