Naakual - Notes, Strategies, confirmed drops~

[lolwut]

SE is attempting to make Run relevant for a single mob, while at the same time invalidating some of the merits the added for it. GG

[Ranth]

Spoilered for gigantic.

Spoiler: show

Downed on Bismarck as well, was 0% colonization rate in Yorcia. Obviously killed by an army of corsairs.

[Fwahm]

Currently stuck on Hurkan at 97% on Sylph; all of the Corsairs are getting resisted to heck, even with klimaform, warlock's roll, and indi-focus. We might need to wait until people outside bring colonization rate to 25% so the SMNs can damage it.

Guy who got the GAxe says it does indeed add like +190 attack when he puts it on vs his old ires diae.

Check a mob to see if it gives rediculous amounts of acc too

Hurkan:

TP moves:

Brownout: Conal/Breath attack. Slow and blind.
Reverse Current: Damage and stun.
Crashing Thunder:
Reverberating Cry: Conal magic damage. Magic def. and eva. down.
Static Prison: Extreme AoE damage; 2K-15K damage around a 15~ radius. Para and shock.
Sparkstorm:

Notes:

•Thunder aura seems to last the entire fight when it goes up. As was mentioned earlier, it gives a new debuff called "Avoidance" which prevents parrying, guarding and blocking.
•Most debuffs can land. Para is especially powerful. Slow and Elegy were landing without much problem.
•Moves fast, but has the same type of Ironclad mechanic, but can't abuse it as much due to its very fast movement speed(tried having a PLD tank all the adds there so we could kite, but didn't go well).
•Melee attacks are insanely high(1-5K damage). With scherzo and EA mages were able to survive for a very long time when we were trying to force wipe, so something weird is going on that's 1 shotting the PLDs, but then it can't deal over 200 damage to a mage for 2min.
•'Hurkan Birdlimeist' is title granted.

Drops:

Amimiki Bullet, Tzacab Grip and obviously the axe/scythe and Uk'uxkaj boots/cap.

[Prothescar]

sorry did you say 15k

[Martel]

Well, up to 14k at least.

[00:08:56]Hurkan uses Static Prison.
[00:08:56]Gondar takes 10373 points of damage.
[00:08:56]Jessilyn takes 12840 points of damage.
[00:08:56]Bepe takes 12465 points of damage.
[00:08:56]Martel takes 0 points of damage.
[00:08:56]The Luopan takes 8916 points of damage.
[00:08:56]Toland takes 14631 points of damage.
[00:08:56]Arduwyn takes 4180 points of damage.

Shadow ring proc, /snicker. XD

I also took up to 2500 dmg from a melee hit. The forward nosedive motion is massive physical dmg. And Unblockable because of that damn aura.

Most other melee motions appear to be magical dmg.

[hongo]

danng, how'd you guys defeat that beastie, your LS is pretty impressive ^~^ cg on win, and thank you for sharing!!

[EjinCaitsith]

We can confirm that the +skill on the weapons are giving a massive attack/accuracy buff. Naked with only bee axe on, getting IT++. Swapping to Hunahpu and it becomes IT with low evasion.

Holy crap... I wonder if they are nerfed offhand

[EjinCaitsith]

You don't get the bonus when offhanding it.

Oddly, the parrying skill does show up in the combat menu, but the axe skill does not. They probably did this to avoid people gaining access to WS way earlier than they should be.

[Himsaa]

love how poor ejin gets grip, meanwhile my party is completely useless and gets bullet, 2x Axe, scythe and hat. I'll be cor next time
can confirm this NM is a total badass though.

Some things are best left unsaid

What, like it's a big priority to pimp out WAR right now? It's not exactly relevant with current content, I know a couple of 99 Ukons that that is still their best weapon on that job. Sure some people will spend 30k plasm for a job that's not really used for anything right now, sure as hell is no shame in not doing that.

[Shenrien]

People use plasma still to buy things outside of a drop from a naakual that they don't want to wait on?

You can bring a Razorfury WAR to Tojil in the DRK slot and they will be competitive; especially if they MS Upheaval in the enhanced slashing damage window. They might even win the parse if they get enough of those 16K damage Upheavals off.

Hurkan sounds like he'll be pretty awesome to fight inside fractures eventually; better start figuring out how to drop that aura now lol.

[macross]

did you corsair it down too? what was colonization rate?

[Flippant]

Holy crap... I wonder if they are nerfed offhand

They work offhand, but the combat skill+ on the new weapons are hand-specific, and the attack in the equip menu reflects only your main hand. This is likely why parrying shows up in combat menu, but the other skills do not.
