    i did it without wall, but i had a shitton of mitigation layers; ramza's burst, apoc shield, protectga, cleansing strike, and full breakdown + breakdowns. damage was still pretty intense even through all of that!

    tfw you try to get cute and use an Ashe + Quetz strat on U, only to come back and stomp it with your A-Team because fuck that.


    oh well. 60 stamina and several major lightning orbs later... whoops!


    edit: aaaaaaaand I didn't bring lightning. SON OF A BITCH.

    Um, forgot if it was +++ or ++ and don't have App open to view it, but the battle that costs 60 stamina (and I think drops the MC3), that boss dropped me a Power Crystal.

    I've never seen a CRYSTAL drop from completing a boss before, is this new? or have I just been not-lucky-enough?

    Was it maybe the first Ultimate? I got a MPO but I've heard it has a ~5% Power Crystal drop rate.


    (I heard that here, actually lol)

    I believe the U fight (60 stamina) has the reported chance to drop a Power Crystal at ~5% rate. The stamina v chance ratio makes it about twice as inefficient when compared to daily dungeons in terms of Greater Orbs/stamina, even though you cant break down a crystal. It's basically not worth farming unless you *really* want 6* abilities that use power crystals and have literally nothing else to do with your stamina.

    The U+ fight (1 stamina) would be the one to drop MC3 crystals.

    tl;dr: Congrats on besting RNGesus, don't go chasing that feeling.

    U+ is pissing me off. First tried bringing a pecil burst with pecil but kept getting fucked by slowga. Tried bringing a second haste instead but got raped by mazer eye

    yeah I am not looking forward to that one. I'll probably put it off for a while. but you can't really pass up any MC3 that's within your reach, you know?

    Run Divine Guardian RW or bring native Hastega to overwrite.

    I used Shout for U+. One cast at the beginning and another after he slows you down. It happens at around 70% but I was killing him so fast that he was at 50% already when it went off.

    1/2 Ahriman. Beatrix BSB absolutely destroys this boss. after finding out the hard way that Mateus's Azers are immune to Holy, this was a nice change. failed on first attempt due to zerging too hard and hitting Dontmovega before Shout was ready again.


    now to go back and beat U again, but bring lightning this time... 60 stamina for 7 MWO is a fantastic deal, as much as I'd rather not repeat the battle.

    why thank you! Ashe BSB I assume? what's your code; I don't think I'm currently following anyone on this board (the friend system in this game is... different)

    1/10 or something Daedalus

    came down to:
    a) build up at least 1 1/2 SB bars on Beatrix before hitting 70%
    b) zerg from 70% to 30% so Pulsar Wave changes from once every three turns to a 20% chance
    c) pray to RNGesus that the one Pulsar Wave I was forced to eat doesn't stop anyone, and that he doesn't use it again in his very weak phase

    so much bullshit RNG. so glad to be done with this.
