Thread: [Event 31] New Years Event - Reiki Water Raid!

Well, I haven't posted in a while since I posted all the other events...weeks in advance. But here are the new events!

Another raid event, so I hope you guys all saved seed/leaf for this one.
..let's get into it

Standard - Water element, easy, no need to go into detail.

Expert - Rampage God Amaterasu
Water element, 3.6M HP and 3 turn charge meter.
Normal Overdrive - "Randomly attack four times"
Raging Overdrive - Whole ATK + double/triple/ATK debuff to allies.

Ragnarok - just expert but harder
Normal Overdrive - "4 times attack + all state abnormality cancellation"
Raging Overdrive - Enemy DEF up "Raging Charge Technique is also different from Expert, and its own defensive up effect has been added.
Because the damage done will be drastically reduced as it is, it would be best if you eliminate the defensive buff before hitting the burst. "



Suggested Team/Formation -

Cassiopeia is probably the best choice for a soul, as she's the healer that thunder teams lack, defense buff + Chaos Magic which is very much needed in Ragnarok battles.
Ramiel for ATK buff/ Burst gauge up
Raiko/Raijin to avoid the expert overdrives/ragnarok normal overdrive
Sol - healer+ CM + cures debuff which is needed for expert.
Tyr for 10% or Awakened Tyr for 15% DEF debuff
Amon Unleashed 25% DEF debuff + extends stun

---

Rewards -

Just like Jack o' Lantern and Saint Nicholas, the reward system is still 200 divine, 100 devil for completion, but with luck from Gacha or plat drops you may not need to.

SSR Eidolon - Reiki - Water attribute Attack power 45% up - 1530 max ATK
SSR Weapon - Houraisan Immortal Axe - Pride ATK "The less the HP of the water attribute character, the higher the attack power (large)"
Max ATK 2352
--
2 SR defender Water weapon (both with high ATK)
SR Pom-Pom Hammer (Uzume release weapon) Light Assault max ATK 1830

-----

As this is a new years event, we'll finally be seeing Dark Amaterasu and Light Tsukuyomi (Limited Kami)
both are incredibly good for dark/light teams, so may luck be on your side.

i'm pretty sure that only dark amaterasu is limited, light tsukiyomi should be permanent

Well, those battles look very annoying...

Good thing this event is a raid, and not an advent battle, so you can call for help if things go south....

As for the weapons, I'm personally not interested in any Pride skills for my water grid, as I have far too many options for healing to make good use of it. So, I'll have to hope I can MLB at least 2 copies of the SR light hammer to improve my light grid.

Pride is identical to SR Assault at full health, and the thing has 2300 attack, I recommend getting it

It isn't, it's 0% base, whileas SR Assault is 3%. It does have higher base attack of course, but it's unlikely to be exactly the same as a SR weapon.

That said, Pride is already equal to SRs at 85% health, and equal to SSR at 70%. Below that, Pride just keeps getting better and better. Because losing 30% HP is very easy, Pride weapons are generally extremely good.

Their effect diminishes if you run multiple healers, however. And content like Accessory Quests or our recent Nicholas raid where your HP is either hero-or-zero due to extreme single target damage doesn't really play into their strengths either.

multiple healers really screw with the pride bonus. in return if you have all the def debuffs and defensive buffs, you can survive the oneshots, leading to a massive damage increase for the surviving soul.

But Thunder teams don't have much heals, if anything at all. The only way you can heal in this event is with either the Soul, potions or bringing another non-Thunder hime into the battlefield.

Don't worry, Sol carries. Everything and everyone. on a side note, if you have no healer go for pride weapons every missing point HP is more damage.

That's what I'm planning to do.

As a general rule, you should always strive to get the SSR weapons for the elements you plan to use. Even the SSR Defenders are worthwhile because you gain a lot of HP for a small sacrifice in damage compared to an SR Assault. If you gimp your grid by forgoing SSRs, you'll regret it later. A missing SSR eidolon is generally replaceable or recoverable. An SSR weapon is not; your grid can end up permanently gimped.
