Ark Angel Battles: The Second Coming

[NynJa]

Anyone have any details on how they handle lowmanning AAMR? I've gotten TT GK and HM down on Normal (yes I know a SCH soloed TT on normal, thank you), but these last two elude me. AA EV forces one of my chars onto bard, since I dont have enough of a BDT set to handle arrogance without Scherzo, and I'm worried about charm from MR screwing my run up. "Block it with fealty" isnt exactly a sound viable strategy, since I wont have the ability to deal 10% of damage in 60 seconds.

Any suggestions?

[Martel]

Fealty lasts 1:40 with 5/5 merits and relic aug. Probably still not gonna be able to do enough dmd to force charm, but still.

It feels extremely ironic to say this, considering the recent content of the delve 2.0 thread, but... alternatively, go Rune Fencer. Tenebrae x3, pflug, and a good M.evasion set should resist charm. Switch to Tellusx3 and valation up at 25% to survive cloudsplitter.

on normal? bind and gravity are pretty easy to land as a whm/rdm, making it np to run away for a sec

[NynJa]

Charm at a lovely 27% -_-

But yeah, sleep tiger and bind/grav kitty made it a non issue more or less.

[chichicha]

Was wondering how long the charmed will last?
It's AOE or single target?

If 20s or something, BLU AOE Terror helped?

[NynJa]

Its 1 min instead of usual 3

Was really easy, despite having to constantly swap between light and dark due to roar.

[Priran]

I mention it because I don't see it anywhere on the BGWiki page and I never noticed it before, but TT can use Soul Enslavement and will stop teleporting and start walking around like a normal mob while it's active.

[chichicha]

What's your setup for Normal as Lowman? Trio Boxes?

[NynJa]

pld thf sch

[dasva]

/smn to help with Arrogance Incarnate?

[NynJa]

Has it even been determined that Arrogance is split? I've heard groups of 4 melee still eating absurd damage

[Martel]

From what I gather, it's not directly split, like 1k needles would be. Just reduced when hitting multiple targets, kinda like -Ga nukes. I think someone posted some values based on the jp wiki, but I can't recall what they were. Something like 80% dmg with 2 targets...?

[chichicha]

Possible pup/NIN x 6 good for Arrogance

Does anyone know what the acc required for normal and Difficult?

Thanks

[Karizo]

Thanks

Acc requirement is roughly the same as SKCNM20 on one difficulty above, if you're more familiar with that.

If not, I'd say 900s before food/buff and if you have a BRD, maybe COR, would be enough on Normal. This is excluding AAMR/AAHM.

Slap on an extra 100 for each difficulty above? I'm just guessing lol.

[Sechs]

900 + Sushi + Madrigals + Hunter's + possible JAs sounds a bit overkill for Normal
Except MR and HM I think 900+Sushi + one random acc buff should be more than enough for Normal, no? I dunno, never got a chance to melee AAs yet but that's the sort of buff I give to my DDs at D/VD, which kinda leads me to think the requirements for normal are more relaxing

[Fwahm]

900+sushi+1 accuracy buff is enough for D other than mithra. Slap on 50ish in accuracy gear and add another accuracy buff and you're fine for most VD too.

[chichicha]

MR / HM has extra evasion or less?!
I'm assuming these two needs more acc?
If these does need more acc, how much further?!
Is nuking doing better than melee on these two?

[Lyramion]

Nuking works OK on NORMAL with gear that doesnt suck. Did NORMAL Runs in 10-12 mins with 1 RNG 1 SCH as only DDs getting leeches their clear.

On DIFFICULT+ their MEVA is boosted beyond ridiculus levels - not even an MACC aftermath SCH with Tupsi can nuke them reliably.

actually can but the dmg is abysmal that its not worth it and will time you out!!
