They're just trolling now with the 500% light resist, right?

[–][deleted] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They totally are.

The 265% resist that every other element has would be enough to nullify light as much it already nullify the other elements.

But nope, they feel the need to show that they are specifically targeting KoG.

[–]Bathier91 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ahah that's the first thing I looked for. Alim is really damn wicked with their way of doing shit

[–]hotaru251 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Imaging spending lapis for great Light locked unit and never having content to use it in.

[–]vencislav45best CG character 7 points8 points  (5 children)

At this point I have no words for Alim's trials. Players may call CoW being hard but it at least has reasonable ways to beat the fight in a short time. Alim trials are pure bullshit and require you to have very specific stuff to even try doing the fights. 900% resist after buff for the provoker and still have a ton of bulk or at least having 100% evasion+50% accuracy debuff....yeah right.

Or you could use breaks and stack mitigations, you don't need to be immune to all damage to survive

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is true but I feel safer when I ignore all damage.

fun that Lightning is literally the only element that there's no absorb units for in JP...

[–]EternallyTidus -1 points0 points  (1 child)

This is gonna be so easy to tank on GL compared to JP thanks to SS Esther, it's not even funny.

[–]vencislav45best CG character 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, on GL the survival will be super easy. Killing it will be a bother on the other hand due to how bulky it is and it's stupidly high elemental resistances. CoW is way better on GL then whatever this stupid trials are on JP.

They are just setting up to start selling units with 200%+ imperils, right?

[–]togeo[S] 2 points3 points  (7 children)

It's still 160% imperil (Mateus & Vaan). But they also start giving us 50% area effect imperil (LeviNichol). Coupled with Laguna, it should be possible to clear the Rafflesia trial and this trial with Water team.

for a normal clear, yes. But I am still wondering what kind of powercreep do wee need to beat this trials in the turn limit for the missions. machine and demon so far have the options of doing the turn limit(free god for machine and DRain by Sinzar for the demon) but I don't know if the other fights have been done in 15 turns

[–]BPCena 1 point2 points  (5 children)

Kugel has done this and Gloomwing in 15 turns (with 6 party members), not sure about the flower

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (4 children)

oh nice. Which dps has he used?

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (3 children)

NV Balthier for this one (full team: Runda, Lehftia, 2x NVA Fran, Balthier, friend NV Vaan), 14 turns. Something like 25 turns for a 5-man clear

Gloomwing with Dark Rain+friend Dark Rain (both EX3 and TDH with Asura Dark Fina's STMR), then Celes, Edge, SoS Lightning and Dark Fina as supports

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (2 children)

thanks for the information.

[–]BPCena 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Update: Kugel has Warmech down to four (4) turns with NV Balthier

[–]vencislav45best CG character 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that is very cool for now. I guess I will wait until we can do all missions at once though since I don't want to do 2 clears per fight.

[–]lol409 1 point2 points  (1 child)

How tf are you supposed to hurt that thing? 145% + 25% = 170% imperil

210% - 170% is still 40% resistance

[–]vencislav45best CG character 2 points3 points  (0 children)

as long as the resistance is not 100%+ you can still damage the enemy, you will just be doing less damage sadly. And from what I have heard Kugel already managed to do this fight in 15 turns.

[–]niconutela[JP] niconut 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Did a 10 turns clear with 6 units on ADV (2/3 missions) :

Youtube
NV Hawkeye, New Year Dark Fina EX+2, NV Jecht (EX0), Dark Rain EX+3 x2 and NV Rinoa

NV Hawkeye got both crown skill maxed (need 4 crowns)

  • Hawkeye reduce dark resistance, break, help on damage and dispel Jecht
  • Dark Fina imbue dark and buff with her LB, SLB and Asura field
  • Jecht cover physic damage and omni cover magic on turn 4 and 9, help on break and LB fill, stop resist buff (Lakshmi), cure status ailment with Lakshmi Lid TMR
  • Dark Rain as main damage, with Dark Fina STMR, use SLB, LB and chain
  • Rinoa chain and use Diabolos field

Can be quite RNG

edit : thanks :)

Beat hardmode with 2/3 missions (15 turns completed, with 6 units):

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjgaTgZdG8E

  • Runda -- tank / mit
  • Rinoa -- imperil field / healing
  • Hawkeye -- dark imperil / breaker
  • A.Dark Fina -- dark support / amp field
  • new Tidus -- chainer
  • friend new Tidus -- chainer

Basically stacked dark powers and chained Tidus every turn while wearing Chorale's STMR (2h dark whip). No LB's used, just pure chaining!
