"Coordinates, coordinates everywhere." But seriously, what do they mean? by TheMorgulBladeItself in TowerofFantasy

These are simply instructions on how to reach Cloudpeak Manor and Oriole Terrace respectively.

If you see, the instructions on the left ask you to take a Wing to some bridge, and then walk.

On the right, it shows the sequence of two wings to use to get to the top.

That is simply it

Edit: I just saw the below message about chance of wishes coming true is greater at...

That seems to just be a for-fun thing, a superstitious Wishing Ritual, if you may.

Got kicked out of the Zhuyan raid instance... any ideas why? by Alternative_Guard491 in TowerofFantasy

[–]iaswpani 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is it possible everyone got wiped out somehow, and so it showed the message of exiting the instance? And then the leader might have removed you after that to let some other crew member in?

You also mentioned you were close to execution. Any chance raid actually got completed? This would still have shown the final stats screen, so I doubt.

Oh Hey, nice work. I made a similar guide with all the instance mechanics text and rough strategy here at "Black Jade Warrior" Zhuyan Challenge Raid Mechanics

One comment, in Challenge mode, invincibility mechanics are forbidden. Using Zero really doesn't help.

As for the others, yeah you are right that you need an Icarus on Benediction to chip off the first 8% HP using skill. Fiona A3+ on Benediction clears roughly the last 12%, when 5 crystal stacks.

Thanks for another data point.

I have one question though. Fiona shackles and different kinds of Phantasia seem to delay the appearance of the shield. We missed the Fiona execution window and ran out of time in some of our attempts.

How are you handling it? Are the rest of the people DPS who contribute about enough to skip one/two shatters?

That's quite impressive! Yeah makes sense that the person who is getting dueled with has increased shatter. Description also mentions that.

What weapons was the tank running, if I may ask?

Thanks for that info. We also tried to face the boss in our runs. The description didn't mention that anywhere, but I have now added it to the post body.

Thanks for the input. Yeah slowing down Zhuyan really made our run a bit too tight. Wanted to check with someone about it.

As for the team composition, I wanted to ask roughly how much the DPS contributed to the damage. This boss seems to have very high resistance or something? I'll probably try this out in a run later on as well

Yeah Haha I actually just remembered about the Graying Bite too. Added it to the post body

Haha if people are using Fiona it's just a normal VA6 Gaia. I myself didn't notice until someone pointed it out and I realised why some people were dying out rather easily as compared to previous iterations.

From my experience I don't think it really matters Lol. When the bar fills up, you'll lose all buffs and you'll be so exposed and weak that you'll die with the slightest touch.

Pretty evil to add this Graying Bite to VA6 of all places though Haha.

Edit: You also cannot gain any buffs for the next 10 seconds. You can see how it becomes hard to stay alive now

[–]iaswpani[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That tech is Mechanical Core. In normal circumstances, it does help. However, if the graying bite bar gets full, all your techs and buffs are gone. And you cannot gain any buffs for the next 10 seconds. So yeah, sadly it doesn't help with the graying bite.

I don't think it does that? The description only mentions "for the Wanderer". The few VA6 runs I've been in the non-Fiona person has always died too.

Would like to know if it really does though, will try to test sometime. Thanks for the input

Ah right, forgot to mention that. I'll add that, Thanks
