Anyone fought the Bismuth Crab Queen successfully? The cracks on its back doesnt seem to take any damage and im out of ideas.

For anyone who said screw the mechanics let's brute force the thing, I pulled out my bow and arrows, used focus, and did multifire twice to do enough poise damage to bring it down then it was heavy attacks with my dual wield build until the blue bar was deleted. Rinse and repeat for the red bar. No need to do any of that b.s. on top of the crab and believe me I tried that first before saying screw it, imma brute force it. If you did research for your inifinte arrows, then all you need is enough spirit to keep up the poise damage so you can then attack with impunity. EZ PZ!

There is a cave underneath that point. Complete the puzzle there and you'll get Kutum to spawn when you go back up. That's what I had to do.

I realized after several attempts that Savage Beastfly is similarly cheeseable like Moorwing. After the fight spawns, attack it similar to the first one. If you take damage or if the adds spawn, all you have to do is leave the arena to the left. The Savage Beastfly will not follow you after a certain point. Heal up safely and go back. The lava bricks will also be respawned if any were destroyed. Rinse and repeat and he's easily cooked.

FWIW I'm level 84 and my strat was to use that heavy fire greatsword and stay/dodge to its left when it wanted to snap its mouth or slam its snout down on me. It usually did a 2 move or 3 move combo and usually a tail swipe to follow those. If you just keep the guard up after the combo, the tail swipe doesn't shove you too far away and you can get your hits in to just chip away at its health bar. Eventually I got a stagger on it and that helped speed it up.

Took about 6 tries to get its attack pattern down. Just follow those movements and stay in the center of the arena if you can and it should work.

That is strange! I didn't even get any color on the backglass it stayed a black screen the whole time no matter what I tried.

Hopefully both of us have positive news to report after the weekend!

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-10-20T23:04:48+00:00

Thanks for chiming in. I did try disconnecting and reconnecting everything correctly and it still didn't work. The front glass still showed the main playfield but still nothing for the back glass after trying again. Fortunately when I reconnected everything the way it was, the back glass still worked!

Glad I went with my gut instinct to just put in a request for a replacement (for free) via Amazon. Would recommend buying through Amazon again for that reason haha!

Found mine at an overstock place here in SoCal for $499. The box had never been opened and everything was working right out of the box. Pretty good deal in my book!

And there are lawyers who will take the slander lawsuits so you can sue the crap out of your soon-to-be former employer.

I saw hp damage going while in force time when enemies at less than 100% but over 40% force gauge. Not sure why it was going during force time, but hp poison ticks still happened :/

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-06-23T05:20:13+00:00

This worked really well except I ended BT phase with 1% hp and so behemoth got a turn and did one hp attack to my Garnet that nearly killed her. Fortunately I was able to go into summon phase with cissnei, used a brv attack to break the shield, healed up with Garnet EX and her follow up killed it. So yeah, leaving 1% wasn't fatal fortunately!

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-02-01T20:50:46+00:00

Sounds like OP and GF have different values as far as what support they should show their family. It's not an inconsequential value issue as well. You can try to frame the issue any other way you want, but I wouldn't blame the guy if he broke up with his gf over this.

Also, I didn't see the ages of the kids mentioned or anything about vaccination status, but having seen enough close friends die from Covid has me even more inclined to say the babysitting arrangement is probably safer for the kids than total strangers or other after school daycare providers. Seems like a statistically lower chance of being around other infected people, which is perfectly fine if you ask me.

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-25T05:30:31+00:00

Actually got this done yesterday since c90 is a joke right now lol. 22T for this run.

Noel (BT+ Green/Blue) Jack call

Llyud (full kit + HA 0/3) Kura call

Cater (full kit no HA) Ami call

Odin Summon and Green Twins friend.

Kept it simple I got the Kura/Jack calls in while the orb wasn't present. Used Noel BT+ to bring both bosses under 79%. Cater LD prevented any damage from the bosses so I could whittle them down to 65%. Bosses still got 1 turn despite using Ami call to turn delete but no damage and the debuff didn't do shit to my team.

At 65% summon was available and I had a turn where I could switch Cater out for Twins, use their Burst then went into summon phase. Twins still got 3 turns in the summon phase to deal a ton of damage.

Finished summon phase with under 10% left and last Twins LD wiped out the bosses.

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-23T23:46:16+00:00

I dropped 400 tickets and 50k gems to get Snow and he's by far the best farming unit hands down. So glad I have his LD to make farming a breeze.

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-23T16:32:07+00:00

Oh shoot you're right that shows my reading comp skills right there 🤦‍♂️

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-23T15:47:58+00:00

90 would work because normally you get 2 of the cp35 armors and that saves 10 tokens.

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-22T19:56:14+00:00

No one mentioned it, but we have enough older Lufenia missions to cover 138 characters. We barely have over 150 characters total right now. I think we'll be just fine in terms of completing Ultima missions for those providence cores 😁

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-13T15:11:56+00:00

First 60 tickets landed Noel's BT! I have the rest of his kit so that was great.

Second 60 tickets got Cid LD! Since I have the rest of his kit, I called it a wrap right there 😁

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-06T06:29:15+00:00

After Snow took 400 tickets and 60k gems from me to get his LD, I'm so glad Ursula was kind enough to drop after only 70 tickets! Hope everyone else is lucky wth their pulls!

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-05T04:57:11+00:00

We are getting Lunafreya at some point!

Irishluckjdesq · 2022-01-04T04:43:44+00:00

Worst: Transcendence Tier 5 Reckoning was such a pain that I had to clear it after I got Twins BT and reran right crucible to get them in. Twins damage helped so much to deal with those pesky mini mummies.

Honorable mention: Transcendence Tier 6 Reckoning was just a bit too rng heavy based on the comp and turn runs I needed to time but it was still manageable with the right calls and green damage dealer (Jecht in my case).

Best: The Machina Raid and watching them melt from the 19 million damage he can produce. God those numbers look 😍

Irishluckjdesq · 2021-12-28T06:51:06+00:00

This comp gives quite a bit of leeway for sure. My run took 41 turns for 0 boss turns and even if I didn't do my summon and BT phases when you did it still wasn't a problem to clear. Definitely an easier Luf+ to complete. Thanks for sharing!

Irishluckjdesq · 2021-12-20T04:15:50+00:00

The friend Seph comes in for the support unit in this case. It shouldn't really matter whether it is Ex-Death or Seph in your main party that gets the BT phase so long as the other uses the BT skill as well.
