Thread: [Event 34] Crucible of Combat vs The Demon Greed (Union Event)

So the Water Kamis are just part of the magic jewel gacha right? They have nothing to do with the event, i.e. you can't farm them there?

I haven't had much time to play today, so I could be wrong, but things I've noted:
1. Ulti drops seem nerfed again, they were quite impressive last event, although not as impressive as Pride. Now they're decent, but considering the ease and cheapness of Expert it feels bad.
2. Expert Lilim now drops 4-5 Grails, probably around 4.2 Grail on average. This makes it questionable is Expert worth your time again... it certainly is more Grails per AP than Standard; 0.13 compared to 0.16. Though I haven't checked does Standard still drop 2 average. Also, I haven't been writing down the Expert drops, but I'm getting that fifth Grail very rarely.

Yup. Every event brings us one SSR and one SR, often one R too. They always go into the Jewel/IRL money gacha.

I might try recording my drops if I'm not feeling too lazy later.

Anyways, is the eidolon not suppose to give us any jewels for both her intro and harem scenes? Cause I didn't get any.

i would of assumed it would, the last one did (first lilim i've got as i solo these events like the anti-social git i am :P)

Thanks Belial and 100 burst buff on day1.

This is without Shingen's buff, by the way. Just turn1 during Burst Hour. I also haven't yet checked from calc which is better for me to use with Belial, 45% Elem Fafnir or 40% Char. I'd assume Fafnir since 100% Atk from Union buff, which I assume to be Char atk.

Considering how this is "just" three SSRs, no Shingen buff, no double Belial and -45% Def (-35% for the Soul burst)... I wonder just how high a single burst turn can go?

EDIT: Changed forum own upload into imgur, since the forum's own images are pitifully small.

The +atk buff in union events is indeed character side.

Adding Shingen's buff would just turn your burst multiplier from (X + 1.5) to (X + 3) (where X depends on rarity), as +300% is the current cap on +burst buffs.
If you want theoretical damage records, you'll need to face a boss that can enter stun. A kamihime like Tyr with a maximal damage against stunned enemies buff will triple their burst damage. So right now, probably a Shingen/Tyr or Shingen/Ea combo.

In the future? Consider something like Siegfried (Sniper Shot)/Ea/Oceanus/Athirat/Ryu-oh. Athirat has a stacking party-wide burst damage buff. Siegfried's maximal damage buff is actually a 3.5 multiplier for bursts (instead of 3 for kamihime). Oceanus is just there for having that same maximal damage buff. Then you try to hit -50% def through Sniper Shot/Ryu-oh and... that dark SR eidolon that can be exchanged for, I guess?
A lot of waiting will be necessary to set it up though. Athirat's buff is +30% at a time, every 3 turns. The +burst cap is +300% until sometime in August, then +500% afterwards. So if you rely strictly on that buff, it'll probably take an impossibly long time to hit the cap.
Realistically, you'd try this during a union event on a day with +150% from grails. Try for a few stacks if you can, but unleash the pain before you die.

Alternatively, you can replace Oceanus with the water variant of Freya. She can confer +burst damage to a single ally (apparently water has both of the kamihime that can buff someone else's burst damage). This version of Freya can also confer a buff on an ally to raise the soft damage cap on bursts.
For bursts, after 1 million, damage attenuation kicks in. Excessive damage beyond that gets reduced to 10% (so a 2 million becomes 1 million + 100k = 1.1 million). Freya's buff would raise the soft cap from 1 million to 1.25 million (or 1.4 million after lv 45). 6 turn cooldown and 3 turn duration, so you'd expect her to only be able to buff one (pick Siegfried).

That 1m is per unit, yes? So we're talking about 5m + full burst bonus? How much is the burst bonus anyway.
