Digging this thread up as AQ6 is coming tomorrow finally. Or should be coming, if Original Content(tm) doesn't happen.


So, having a glance at DMM wiki, it looks like changes from AQ5 -> AQ6 are roughly as follows:
Wave 1: Roughly the same HP, stronger overdrives, but probably not an issue at all?
Wave 2: HP from 4m-ish -> 6m-ish, overdrives significantly stronger and are now actually dangerous?

Wave 3: HP from 7.5m -> 10m, but more importantly, DEBUFF RESISTANT. Debuff resistant content is finally here?
Overdrive is now only two bubbles, but deals 20% current HP damage and 20% max HP damage in Rage. So, by itself, nothing really bad.
Turn 1 Trigger: cleanse all debuffs, apply Debuff Resist+ (cannot be Dispelled)
Does not do normal attacks, instead, does the same fucking clownfiesta bullshit as GO Jack. One AoE debuff per turn, this time the DoTs cap at a measly 500 though. Still, this is probably going to be utter and complete fucking bullshit.
Turn 10, 15, 20, etc Trigger: Nukes you based on the debuffs you have. Combined with the normal Overdrives whittling you down, this will probably just end you.
Stun behavior: Will actually Unstun, so you can still wipe even if you get that far.

So, effectively, the boss went from 3.75m to 10m HP (2.6x more), and the turn limit went up from 6t to 10t (1.6x more). The real problem is the fucking clownfiesta that you have absolutely no control over - you get hit by -50% Atk on turn 2? You're probably just dead. Got Paralyzed or Slept on turn 2? Well, I guess you just lose then. Just like with GO Jack, your only reliable option is to win on turn 1 (but at least unlike GO which is beginner/medium content, this is end-game content so I have slightly less issue with it). So the problem comes from are you able to save up burst through wave2, and well, that's really hard to tell just by looking at a wiki.

At least the rewards are literally doubling yours daily SSR, so that you'll actually find those SSR Tiaras now. Maybe. You wish.
Oh, and AQ7 isn't far (~7 weeks?). So even if AQ6 turns out to be easy - and it might seeing how AQ5 is just AAB material at this point - then fret not, AQ7 will probably be brutal.
