Elemental advantage is a big boon, and will likely impact whether you can reach the 3 and 5 orihalcum tiers. On the flip side, you shouldn't actually NEED the extra 3 orihalcum unless you're running more than 2 elements. 4 orihalcum a month should be plenty to feed teams for 1-2 elements and keep them maxed, and as an added bonus you won't need to bother with the challenge objectives.

Knowledge of boss patterns is also pretty vital, but that's something we nutaku players have an advantage of for being 1 year behind DMM version.

That said, as with event weapons I do recommend that players get as much orichalcum as they can, even if it's a bit of a tedious grind, considering how useful 4LB will be and how the end game is to have all elements working anyway.

As another note, 5 orichalcum per 2 weeks is more than enough to 4LB every single upcoming event weapon, or so I'd project for half a year given the event pools we get. The remaining orichalcum can be spent on 4LBing previous weapons, and then one would have excess that is completely pointless to them unless they whale/ get lucky with hime or dragon eye weapons. This basically means that to keep up with f2p content, one does not necessarily have to perfectly clear GO consistently, there's a small window of leniency even if your target is to keep up with all content.

Name-------HP---Atk
Andromeda:-7108/42493
Atalanta:---5494/39593
Triton: -----5769/38774
Nike:-------5504/36974
Snow Raph: 6414/40474

Ea:---------6404/43095
Enkidu: ----5392/39687 (1st attempt)
Cupid: -----5829/37274 (2nd attempt)

Assault: 109% (146 skill lvls + 36 directly from assault M/L) + 2 pride (L)
Defender: 20% (well, HP's already listed above)

Jack Frost (main!)/Yamata no Orochi/Yggdrasil/Jormungandr/Sphinx/Tiamat
Friend slot is whatever Rudra I can find from random non-friends

I did (barely) succeed on both attempts so far. 1st attempt had Andromeda die off to the raging overdrive, so I picked up the 3+ SRs and 3+ Attack types (Atalanta/Ea/Enkidu)
2nd attempt had Andromeda survive (thus the soul survives point) and res allowed me to insure the 5+ members survive point.
I definitely don't hit hard enough for a Full Burst to take care of raging. Also, when it comes to cleanly pushing into raging to allow setting up for the trigger, I have very little room to work with. I probably should take advantage of the 2 turn duration on Snow Raph's damage cut...

Oh, and I actually full burst through the 2nd stage. I have enough healing and Snow Raph's damage cut to allow me to turtle to FB again in stage 3.

when I read this, I also became curious if my water team can do it since I probably have more or less the same assault % that you have, so I assembled a team with the natural 3 SR + atk type and the results were:

obviously took rudra though, but I was surprised that herc and neptune(w/ 10 max stack of her unique buff) could tank that rage trigger with only a water kaiser buff lol

I'm at 8 points now... but I don't think I can do that arthur mission since shes obviously not as tanky as herc is, and I would lose the benefits of having herc's axe
but I guess I can safely say I can at least get 2 ori for this guild order (dont know yet if I can go beyond that though)

Just put Herc's Axe on Arthur. You lose the 30% Elemental, but that's not the biggest of deals when you have elemental advantage and a friend Rudra.

Of course, aside from being able to apply -25% Def on turn1, Arthur is much weaker of a Soul than Herc is.

Well I suppose I can always try another yolo run tomorrow with Arthur....
but I don't even know if she would be able to survive all the way to the boss like Herc did

at the rate i'm going it only seems feasible to get the participation missions and the round 1-3 clears. I can make it to crom but she's just.... ugh. even if i survive her rage trigger, that rage burst is right behind to finish the job (and it hits about as strong as her rage trigger). simply put, getting a friend marm to appear or somehow massively spiking my water team before this ends is my only shots.

i'll be damned if i don't try to get as far as possible but 100% eidolons or elemental advantage is really my only option at this point unless i can get a large handful of light regalia quickly (even then,, not sure how long herc will last since controlling those enemy orb charges is the most vital part).

at least it's nice to know that 2 orichalcum isn't out the question

If I could use my Wind team for this I'd probably be set, even without a Soul weapon (neither my Wind nor Water teams have one right now). Gaia could mitigate both the trigger and Rage overdrive. I could probably bring a dragoon to buff the damage cut to -60% for very impressive mitigation. Once the next batch of Soul weapons come out I should be very well positioned with both teams.

Tomorrow I'll either try a run with my Wind team, or more usefully an attempt to clear in 15 turns with my best offensive squad. Without Shingen's Soul weapon I'm probably doomed to fail the time limit though.

You made me curious. I wanna see that.

That was one interesting watch. Good job finding it, lol.
Tbh, I kinda forgot about the fact that Crom's rage burst isn't AoE (I barely came across it), so Gaia can defend against it. And after rage trigger, I was like "Ok, you used all your pots, defensive measures to survive to this point.. what now?". Then seen the rage burst and be like.. "Oh.. "

Another try and... Unexpectedly good result ^^



Honestly, I was fully expecting another loss, especially since the burst dmg turned out strangely lower than I hoped for, but here suddenly 4/5 starting Kami survived and then it went down somehow... With a lot of RNG... lots and lots of RNG ^^

How much orichallum do you need for a 4th Limit Break? If you get 1 per week, is it wise to use it to slowly limit break 0* KH weapons or it's better to strictly save it for FLB?
