She kept spaming 4k dmg attacks, like she never did before. I didn't make many changes to my team. I put illu as my main eido, replacing prison of ice, disaster, and used asmund as my soul, replacing van helsing.

What happened? Did they make the quest harder, is there a penalty for using illu as an eido against herself in a quest, or was the change to my team more drastic than i realized?

by the sound of things, one of two things have happened...

-either your stats (HP mainly) took too much of a nosedive
-you lost some debuffing or didn't maintain it. (even i don't take 4k in one hit on ragnarok unless the raging nuke went off)

try setting up your team to have as many atk and def debuffs as you can get. asmund might actually be better than van helsing in this case but it sounds like you need either a healer or a tank instead. as for what to set as weapons and eidolons, the usual applies (assault first, defender second).

and if you really need the HP, that disaster is gonna be better, especially if your assault values from your weapons is really low (cause then illuyanka won't give nearly as much output as she should). but if you are gonna use Illuyanka as your main eidolon, you have to have as many water eidolons equipped as you possibly can to get the most out of her, since a chunk of her power comes from that. she only gives 20% elemental atk without any other water eidolons in your setup, which is very low and can be outclassed by quite a lot of eidolons in the game

forgot to add this in my reply....


at most, once is all you can really afford to do, but the trick to clearing content is trying not to use ANY revives....

If you have to revive, you probably shouldn't be doing that fight. go grind some more cause it shouldn't be too hard to get to the point of clearing Expert. last i checked, you need about 15k-25k atk rating with some good debuffing and that's easily done by getting high level kamihime and a decent grid, and they don't even have to be SSR and maybe even SR kamihime, but they need to be at least lv50 at that point
