Starting to get bored of the game a little bit

Have Therion.Primerose,Ophilia and Haanit Chapter 3 and 4 left.

Having alot of issue with Therion boss and it kinda burns me out, been 30h in

[hyoton]

Are you still stuck on therion 3's boss? I blinded him via hired help twice and just ele nuked him after.

Yeah where is the blind hiring help?

[hyoton]

dancer, i think 2.5k cash- boost for more duration and hits

[Kaslo]

So I did that fight without blind...

Interesting to see different strats. For therion 3 I ran tress/scholar, therion/apoth, prim/hunter and ophi/merchant I think and debuffed/buffed very early with hired help (merc and dancers), ships captain and unlucky sellsword. I've basically never used cyrus and used prim/scholar instead.

[hyoton]

Chapter 3s down. I'm guessing the chapter 4s are going to be a significant increase in difficulty (which is good because stuff is dying too fast for me to Collect from effectively...)

[Koul]

The only ones I had trouble with was Alfyns, Cyrus and I think one other one. I had all the advanced jobs unlocked and between Cyrus dropping 15k triple nukes and Olbrects 6hit warmaster attack, the boss would be pretty dead by turn 6 or 7

[hyoton]

Oh yeah - I beat octopath. It was fun. Collab coming to FFRK. Very excite.

[Corrderio]

I still need to retry the final boss. I haven't used any of my nuts yet so need to get on that. But also need to figure out what to use since I got my ass handed to me on the first phase.

I just tried it for the first time and got wrecked at the end of phase 1

It's a pain since when you get 3 spawns their elemental weakness changes which makes it a headache to break them all

I can kill them alright, the problem for me was I think I pushed him to a rage mode. He summoned all 3, then immediately absorbed all 3, then was just one-shotting characters with 3 attacks a turn >.<

[Corrderio]

Yeah. When I retry I'm using up all the nuts I have snd giving everyone the cleric skill to heal past their max HP. Tgat and bring more magic users.

[hyoton]

Yeah my two final parties ended up similar - apoth/cleric p1 and cleric/apoth p2 with encore, hang tough, saving grace and patience (or show must go on? one of the two); rest damage dealers with saving grace, bp eater, physical/magical enhancement (the one that gives you permanent buff), and surpassing power if they could break cap or patience if not. Tress/rune on phase 1 but I think she would have been better phase 2 (aoe sidestep is amazing either phase though) with cyrus and haanit rounding it out. Apoth's job is to stay alive at all costs and olive of life L/concot/refreshing jam the party to health with dohter's, and double up cyrus with aelfric's otherwise.

P1 once I got the knack of when to heal and when to buff it wasn't so bad. p2 you want to burst him down in one go (I didn't, and I lived to tell the tale, but it was a lot messier than it needed to be). I aelfric'd dancer/starseer here but would have been fine just using steorra's at max team BP.

[Corrderio]

I'm still debating how I should set up. I was thinking Primrose/Scholar, Cyrus/Sorcerer, Opheilia/Starsteer, H'aanit/Warrior. Not sure if I'm going overkill with magic but from what I heard/saw the first phase is magic based and the 2nd is physical.

[Kaslo]

The problem I’ve heard is that 2nd phase Starseer is really good for its dispel ability

[hyoton]

It is. Save starseer unless you plan on obliterating phase 2 fast.

[Corrderio]

Got to the 2nd phase of the boss, but then got the living hell kicked out of me since it locked out my magic.

[Corrderio]

I am never doing this again...
