FF:BE - Let Them Eat Mogcake

Teryu, Can you one shot the boss with fire from below fully stacked off an enhanced Agrias and orlandu/DV chain? You might be able to just whittle him down to 60% and then drop the hammer.

**Teryu** · 2017-10-25 21:37

I can try but the only reason I was able to get it as low as I was able to was because of having WoL, that one dancer chick, rikku, tilith and a friend orlandu. I don't know if I can survive long enough to do both summons and then kill it without having that much support.

**theshun** · 2017-10-25 21:38

I think the gimmick is all HP/SPR and MP drain him like crazy. If you can suck 100k of his MP, his MAG should be 1.

**Malithar** · 2017-10-25 21:44

Til he AoE osmoses below 60% and auto fills MP below 40%. If that was the only gimmick, he could be worked around a bit easier. Instead, spending your time zeroing out his MP below those thresholds just lengthens the fight without much benefit.

So let's see...

Pros:
-It has a unique dual element weapon (that can't be used by anyone)
-It's hard for people who think all the current trials are easy which... okay I guess

Cons:
-It costs 100 NRG per attempt.
-It requires a ton of specific units and TMs to even attempt to get beyond the 60% threshold.
-The rewards are utter garbage. You arguably get less from beating this Nightmare trial than you get from beating trials from almost a year ago (Parade of the Possessed, etc.)

What were they thinking with this shit? It's farcical and clearly catered toward whales and dolphins, no one else need apply.

**Teryu** · 2017-10-25 21:55

It also completely relies on Halloween event units that they somehow made the drop rate worse on.

Still trying a few more times before maintenance, based on their wording I'm not sure if they'll be taking away the extra Serpent Mace. If not, having access to two could prove very useful down the road for 2x aquan killers.

So far, I've tried:

Illusionist Nichol, Zarg, Tillith, Orlandeu, Veritas of the Dark, and Friendlandeu - Lost at 21%
Illusionist Nichol, Soleil, Tillith, Orlandeu, Veritas of the Dark, and Friendlandeu - Lost at 16%

On my third try now with the above setup (evasion Soleil, makes the 100-60% phase a breeze - Zarg would occasionally evade very little or get caught without the proper buffs and get close to dying even with 12.5k HP in a single turn) and going to try to focus on Osmosing after my burst at 60%. I've read multiple reports that it doesn't really help since he gets so much back, but I've read a few reports that it helps a ton, so who knows. My patience is quickly wearing thin on this fight so going to give it a go.

I really have come to despise the reddit community for this game. There's some legit helpful advice, but so many people just post the equivalent of "lol I won git gud."

Edit: Annnnd nevermind, of course tonight is an early maintenance. I really wish they'd pick one god damn time to do maintenance at, not a seemingly random assortment of times between 12-4AM EST.

**DFJS** · 2017-10-25 23:14

Yeah I forgot about the early maintenance too.

Can't wait for my lowly 5* Rydia to do like a bazillion damage with Bahamut

Speaking of, do earlier tiers of Evo magic stack? I honestly don't know. We got GL exclusive enchantments for Garnet that give her +50% summon damage, but if earlier tiers stack, then Rydia (10%, 20%, 30%) is tied with Garnet (10%, 50%) at 60%.

**Prothescar** · 2017-10-26 01:11

I don't see why they wouldn't. they remain in her skill list which I always assumed meant she benefits from all 3. will be very easy to spot a difference with Bahamut anyway

**Alkar** · 2017-10-26 04:35

Halloween boss has been nerfed now lol.

**Prothescar** · 2017-10-26 05:01

Looking at nazta's post, it looks a lot more reasonable now.

edit: lol at all the neckbeards whining about the nerf on reddit

**Starby** · 2017-10-26 05:12

I'm glad for the nerf. It was way overtuned. It required way too much specific crap for a limited time event

**Alkar** · 2017-10-26 05:26

It surely was overtuned, especially for the rewards given.

**Malithar** · 2017-10-26 05:31

Glad they're nerfing it. Some on reddit are bitching about it being nerfed, fuck em though. They fall into that lol git gud crowd that can go right to hell.

This shit even broke EvilLaughter01 and Claic. Evil pretty much said he's done with budget guides after this, and Claic, the streamer Gumi brought to NYC Fan Festa as a representative, went on a good 10 min full-on fuck you Gumi rant.

This exploration is killing me with every Ambush turning into a wipe.

Ambushed vs elementals-> E.Chain hell
Ambused vs Titans-> Iai Strike wipe

**Teryu** · 2017-10-26 11:25

Why did they think having ambushes in a game designed like this would be ok? Have you tried force shutting down before they finish their turn and restarting to to try to get them to do less wiping moves?

**Yuri-G** · 2017-10-26 14:08

Serious question to BG: Why do you play this game?

I took a hiatus and from an outside perspective, it seems like every other day there's a new "omg wtf gimu" moment - messed up maintenance, bugs to high hell, bosses that are way too hard, the Bahamut exploration with insta-wipe ambushes, crystal rates that are totally unfair to GL vs JP, etc.

I'm not harping on the game; I might even come back. I did enjoy my time with it. But amidst all of this craziness, why do you still play? Honestly curious.

**Zealot** · 2017-10-26 14:28

Because I hate myself and this is the best form of torture.
