Skirmish: Findings and Information

[Sechs]

350 Puissance if she warps out.
We tried all sort of shit and she just becomes un-attackable/invincible at 1% and warps out.
It's not even a matter of how much time you take to kill her because the same happened on fast kills (couple of seconds) and slower ones (15+ seconds).


Either way, if it hasn't been said already, can buff and heal valiants. Some buff make a huge difference. Try to Hastega2 them and then we'll talk about QUITE SOME DAMAGE they deal lol

[Lyramion]

Can also Accession Cure IV them. But if one of them dies you will get hate for sure. AoE Embrava also works. If your WHM ever wanted a CureWithLightweather set this is the best time for it.


Time to toy around with Lorissa more. Maybe a skillchain is needed.

[Sechs]

If you get hate it's not a problem at all, just kite them close to your "worms" or other valiants and at the first AoE they will get hate off from you. At that point even if your valiants get killed, they will aim for the Marchland instead of following you.
I did a lot of kiting and the only situation where I found enemies were still being annoyingly focused on me, was when I performed a DIRECT action on them (debuff, damage, whatever).
Indirect actions so fare always produced the results I described. That is: either they ignore you or start ignoring you after the first damaging AoE they receive from one of your valiants.

Really curious about Lorissa myself. I seriously assumed you couldn't kill her given at 1% you just cannot perform actions on her anymore.

[Maurauc]

Has anyone tried pulling her to the Valiant monsters? Maybe if they hit her she actually dies?

[Sechs]

I doubt that's the reason as it would be highly unpractical.
She normally has the tendency to stop following you after a while, she probably automatically warps herself out if more than XX seconds have occurred since you engaged her, and some times she's very very very very very far from the Marchland>Stronghold path that Valiants follow.

So yes, if that were the condition it would highly unrealistical to make it happen, hence I doubt it has anything to do with that. Plus other people have killed her and they didn't mention Valiant damage being necessary.

[Fwahm]

Unrealistical is my new favorite non-word, barely edging out fabulosity.

[Ophannus]

Everytime she warped we never got puissance. She never "dies", she just warps. And our gear is never aug'd.

[Sechs]

Everytime she warped we never got puissance.

I never personally paid attention to that.
People in my group said she gave "350 puissance" and I went by those lines, honestly.

I'm not getting what you mean though, I'm confused.
First you say you never killed her, then you talk about gear that you got from her saying that it's not augmented as others reported.
If you never "killed" her, how did you get her to drop items?


edit:
I think I misunderstood vm0d's post.
I thought he meant that once they killed Lorissa she directly dropped some pre-augmented items (i.e. in the treasure pool, like when you kill Balamor), while he probably meant that AFTER they killed Lorissa and ENDED the run, the items that appeared in the treasure pool were partially pre-augmented?

[Ophannus]

Yes.

[Ophannus]

Lorissa was an NPC in Alluvion Rala that would sometimes appear and say "..." Whenever spoken to. Lore wise, she's probably a puppet of Balamor like when he possessed the maid in SoAU missions.

[Lyramion]

After you traded your first melidopt wing in Yorcia you get some small Story CS at Lola in Adoulin. You might wanna check that out.

In Alluvion Rala/Cirdas she would randomly warp you up 1 floor if you spam talked to her.

[vm0d]

[dasva]

That's interesting. Must not be an all the time thing. Done Lorissa like 6 times I think and no stuff was augmented. Then again she was unkillable would always just warp out. How good were the augs?

[Sechs]

But he's saying they *killed* Lorissa. Me and you dasva only ever saw her warp at 1%, of course we never saw the pre augmented gear

[Maurauc]

Only ever seen warps at 1% (Even with massive overkill) and never seen augments pre-etched onto gear.

[Maurauc]

Well, I can confirm you can't kill Lorissa with the Valiant. She still warps at 1%.
Although it was nice to see her one-shot.

[Sechs]

Just confirmed Lorissa gives 350 Puissance when she runs away. This is the message she gives:

Lorissa: Urg...
You're...strong!
No! Nononono! Must run...away.

[dasva]

I think I've seen her give more but I think that's the least I've seen her give... I think it might be based on what the other guys give

[vm0d]

so i was super excited about augs from lorissa, but after following up today i am completely wrong!

first, i threw dim stones at those pieces the other day to see what augs i would get and then put them in my safe and forgot about them. 2nd, the person fighting lorissa said they "killed" her during our skirmish, but told me today she warped every time.

soo... i am sorry. >< i really was super excited about it, though. lol

[Lyramion]

Well at least we got a good troll out of it.

The idea would not be a bad one tho.
