Thread: Accessory Quests

To shave some time off clears, I subbed out Gaia for Poseidon. This gets clear times down to 10-11 min. My strategy here is to rely on -70% ATK to hold damage in check until Rage. When the boss overdrives, it kills 0-2 characters, causing Gaia to be subbed in only as needed (since she lowers damage by 20%) and rendering me invulnerable to the next Overdrive. This should work as long as I get my Burst off before the boss Rage Overdrives. One nice feature of this setup is that it allows me to get full ATK debuffs on all the trash. For Wind I'd use Triton instead of Poseidon to prevent buffed combo attacks.

I made a couple mistakes in this attempt. I was planning to Burst the mid-boss with -40% DEF to ensure debuffs were off CD for the boss, but accidentally slapped on the last debuff, so I held my Burst. Probably could've gotten a faster clear if I'd done that right. When I got to the boss I preemptively unloaded Fafnir, but should've waited and kept Sphinx in reserve, as the boss then resisted Mordred's affliction resistance down.
