    Help with BLU limit 5 fight.

    My friend has fought Raubahn 7 times and I've watched him every time, and he keeps getting completely fucked over no matter what happens. First few he got ass raped with damage and just couldn't deal enough damage before he died. Raubahn had 2 swords each hitting for about 150. Second few went in with all DEF food, earth staff, and -10% physical dmg back piece. This time he had only 1 sword but all the spells got resisted and did jack shit. There was 1 fight though where he did get him down 1/2 way then got endless resists and died. Finally, the 7th attempt he went back to using a sword but kept the DEF food and -10% dmg cape. This time Raubahn was hitting for 125-185, fight was going well until he used AZure lore and instantly all of the spells were hitting for close to nothing. Death Scissors 65, Madibular Bite 27, Dimensional Death 0, Hysteric Barrage 5, Frenetic Rip resisted, DS again for 136, and finally DD for 54. At the same time Raubahn dmg went through the roof and he landed a Bludgeon for 476 damage.

    Equipment:
    Head: AF
    Neck: Chivalrous Chain
    Earrings: Minuet and Moldavite
    Body: AF
    Hand: Alkyoneus's bracelets
    Rings: Woodsman Garrulous ring
    Back: Cheviot cape during night time
    Waist: Potent belt
    Legs: AF
    Feet: Creek M clomps
    Total STR: 50+32

    Food: Tavnazian taco

    Spells: Head Butt, Bludgeon, Madibular Bite, Sickle Slash, Death Scissors, Frenetic Rip, Hysteric Barrage, Frost Breath, Refuling, Cocoon, Diamondhide, Dimensional Death.

    Buffs: Refueling, Diamondhide, then after opening with Frostbreath, Cocoon.

    Strat: Buff-> AL, CA, BA, Frostbreath -> Cocoon -> Spam damaging spells.

    I have no idea how or if he's doing anything wrong, we've watched many videos of other BLUs and still no luck. Is there any advice anyone could give, this fight is completely ridiculous.

    Blue Magic accuracy is from main hand weapon so Earth Staff is a no-no. Also is Blue Magic Skill and Sword Skill capped?

    Also Sleeping for TP and using a Wing would help do more damage by WS.

    Its easy to get screwed fast by something like a Radiant Breath and you're dead before you can finish using the Echo Drop. A lot of luck involved.

    We figured out the ACC based off weapon thing fast lol, sword and BLU skill are @ cap and used a TP wing before Frost breath for CA. Only got screwed by Radiant breath once, the rest of the it was lots of BS with resists or things like Hysteric barrage hitting for 5 dmg......it seems like the fight is not balanced well at all, looks like it's made for a level 75 BLU lol

    I'd imagine there would be a lot of luck involved as he can quickly screw you, not sure so much on the damage issue. Maybe try sushi or something, by "resists" I assume you mean are when physical spells miss.

    By resists he said when spells land for way less then what they should be doing. IE- hysteric barrage hitting for five damage.

    Probably have to check out if he fuckin buffs before such as Cocoon. Is like Raubahn on the T9 Red vs Blue assault... if he does cocoon your dmg becomes shit and u definitively need to dispel him

    he usually diamond hides or cocoons at start from memory, gotta run in quick before he does, or just gaze him.

    Did attempts with sushi before, damage was about the same but died a lot faster w/o def food. By resists I mean some fights he actually got the "Spell fails to take effect" message for about 1/4 of the spells, and that was with sword. First run with staff was shit tons of resists, second was fine till about 50% then dmg went to shit again no AZ and Cocoon had warn off. Cocoon in the past had never cause damage to go down to 5 for a hysteric barrage ect. For the life of me I can't figure out what cause him to have two swords, that has only happened once but doesn't make any sense.

    if he completely missing spells more acc might be a good idea, like alky > acc hands, garr ring > acc ring, also an earring besides moldy probably a good idea since you're not using any magical nukes.
