Thread: [Event 39] Advent Battle vs Medusa and Rahab (Rematch)

If you can't do Ultimates, you're not going to LMB anything. So grab whatever you can that will make you stronger.

Medusa Rag is ridiculously strong.

As said by others, a friend with Behemoth will get you one turn. But you'll still take damage from AoE. Ultimately, it's a DPS check - can you get to Full Burst while still alive (and not stoned) or not?

Rahab is very much the same, but not as bad. Those without Sol/Pumpkin Artemis are pretty much boned since she just goes apeshit on your ass in just a few turns. It's still possible to beat even without them, but you're just going to need be very strong.

*sigh* Well I guess ill just try and see what I can do tomorrow i suppose.
If i lose again I might just have to pass up on these ragnaroks I guess

For Medusa, I think affliction protecction (Mordred Viccisitude, Amon, Poseidon...) is more useful than affliction cleansing.

Sorry for double post, but I have a question.

A friend and me have both cleared Medusa with a only Wind team. And neither of us have completed the mission. Rahab is also wind and the mission is completed with no problem. Someone else have the same problem? Maybe Medusa is also a copy-paste mistake and it must be done with other element?

Edit: Just saw it. The mission itself says "thunder clearing" ><
It was spoken off a couple pages before and haven't seen it. I feel a bit stupid right now ><

Advent Ragnaroks aren't important from a rewards perspective. These two fights aren't worth stressing over. Even if your goal is max rewards and this is your first Advent event, you only need to clear 50% of the time. If you have Demonic cores stashed up, you don't need any wins at all to get the Draconic shards you need.

What are some good teams to try and get the event mission draconic eye shards? I have plenty of R kamihime MLB (still need levels), so I was wondering if it was even possible.

Weird question: I almost get more gold and silver Material than the least rare Material... is this kinda normal?

I think so, I've had problems with it before. I think ultimate difficulty may drop a bunch of everything though.

Generally speaking, these 'clear ultimate with just R kamihime' missions tend to be 'pick the element with advantage and hope you have a high enough atk and assault to punch your way through'. And a lot of the time, it also implies that your soul will be using Sniper Shot.
Against Medusa, I think that it's Dike who has a def debuff to help you punch harder. If you're really worried about an instance of petrification, you'll probably have to depend on your soul for it. Or, go off element and slip in Indra for her cleanse if you're confident in not needing another light kamihime in there. Or, having a friend with Behemoth would take care of that with no downside.
As for Rahab? No current thunder R has a debuff that I know of. Consider putting in Perun for her damage cut to help survive 1 raging overdrive. Beyond that, see the 'have a high enough atk and assault to punch your way through' part. Which is what thunder currently does anyway :P

As far as example atk/assault/eidolon setups I did those missions with?
For Medusa, my kamihime had ~31-32k atk, 62% assault from weapon grid, +25% assault from Sphinx (friend), and +45% light from St. Nicholas (mine). Andromeda w/ Sniper Shot as my soul. I think Andromeda was the choice to make sure I come into the Medusa fight at full HP. I could not full burst on turn 1, so I got 4/5 of my team petrified. But Sniper Shot, Urania's atk debuff, and raw HP allowed me to just wait out the petrification to finally burst. Did have to eat 1 raging overdrive. Yay having sufficient stats to not care. But seriously, if possible, a Behemoth buddy is preferred :P
For Rahab, my kamihime had ~30-31k atk, 60% assault from weapon grid, +40% assault from Yggdrasil (mine), and +55% thunder from Thunderbird (friend). Cassiopeia w/ Sniper Shot as my soul. Ate 1 raging overdrive.
