The problem with that is that Apo re-run was the last event where I wasn't strong enough to LMB everything. My 1-star Apo would cost me at least 700 base Atk... ... well, considering the mass amounts of base Atk we have these days, it isn't the end of the world.Originally Posted by sanahtlig
Anyway, first run. Before I ran Andromeda for double heals in a pure endurance build, but I don't think that works anymore. So I brought Shingen with Sniper Shot, Kikuri-Hime, FL Jormund and Apo in my set. Three neutral waves, but... it was still a struggle. Though Blind applied, both of my vital Hime - Belphegor and Ryu-Oh - got bitch-slapped for 3*1500 damage and nearly died. It's not like Blind is useless though, afterwards both got a Miss on them that WOULD have killed them otherwise. What are the odds...
I will say that Provisional Forest is very impressive. But I'm not sure if I want to build around it. Or should I say that for me, building around it is quite difficult at the moment?
It's fully possible that the struggle was because of FL Jormund. Without double Reiki, that lowers my damage output by a whopping 10% (against neutral). Ow. My bad. I thought I'd have an easy Wave1 with Sniper Shot + Sol + Jormund. No wonder it took like 35 rounds to reach Rage phase...
Second try, dropped Apo for Rahab (for worst case scenarios), dropped Kikuri-Hime for Triton and swapped to Mordred. With Sniper Shot and Belphegor, I had freaking three B debuffs, though two of them are weak. Three neutral waves, no issues. Stun happened at like round 27.
Third run, two neutral, Thunder wave3. Hooooly crap does the boss hurt. And thank heavens for all my back-up buffs. With my team being capable of dishing out up to -70% Atk, a couple of resists doesn't matter. Two A Atk, three B, a neutral C and a neutral Eidolon effect truly saved my freaking hide. Damn the resist ratio is so damn high even when Mordred's debuff- is up. Can't forget about two Black Propagandas, thankfully never got double resists.
But honestly? What saved me the most was pure luck. The boss didn't focus anyone down. Blind and Charm mostly didn't get resisted, and kept proccing constantly. ~2000 per turn and three 1500 bolts every four turns is just too damn much for Sol to handle. The Rage Overdrive was 3x 10k damage, one-shotting three Hime instantly. I had to use Rahab on a non-Rage Overdrive earlier, just so that I'd make it to Rage at all.
Having debuff overlap seems like a blessing more than a curse. While it is certainly viable to stack only different debuffs for elemental advantage encounters (as that's just basic min-maxing), against even neutral having multiple sources of each debuff keeps things so much more stable.
