ClamSoup's Super Mega Bass Show

Alright.  Video recording problems solved.  I am back, sorry for the super long silence.

First up on catch-up:

Reed GGC:

Late as usual.  Screen recorders still suck for iOS.  Blah have fun.

Here it is... this Trial once you get the trick is way easier than expected.  Do they not think we communicate or what?

Video Guide will be out tomorrow.

Here is a quick rundown of the mechanics of the fight and the best trick to beating him.

Phase One:  From 100%-0% HP.

Turn One: Summons Random (Fire, Earth, Lightning SBS Vortex Mob) (NO DAMAGE REFLECT for first Summon)

Thresholds: 50% HP - Light Suppression (Stealth for 2 Turns) Followed by Extermination.  50% Mitigation is fine.

Nothing too scary until Phase 2, however it seems he can randomly use Ruination during this phase?  Weird... I had it happen once.

Phase 2:

Will remove your buffs on 2nd or 3rd turn.  The next turn he will cast Annihilation.  Make sure you get mitigation back up before this.  Any time he removes your buffs during the fight, a nuke is coming the next turn.

Sometimes around 60-55% HP or so (Near the end of the dragons tail on the boss HP bar) he will use a surprise ruination. Only had this happen once out of 3 times.

At 50% he will debuff on turn 1 and then nuke on turn 2 again.  Re-buff.

At 40% HP He will enter Stealth.  After 2 turns he will come out of it and use Extermination.

After this he drains bb Gauge a lot more and it will become hard to maintain bb spam if you are using the wrong squad.

!!!!! At a really odd % (like 20-17%) he will use Ruination.  This may be wrong and it may be after 10 turns.  I am just not quite sure.

At around 15-12% HP Left he will use Holocaust.  !!!!!

This is the tricky part of the fight.  Your best bet is to use a HUGE UBB to push him from 21%+ down PAST his Holocaust threshold.  This will allow you to SKIP the Ruination threshold, which is the dangerous one anyways.

After experimenting with a few teams I settled on this squad to one-team it (With a Rhoa friend):

I started off using Grah/Tridon but it’s just not necessary.  Better to go with a team that can generate the gauge you need.

Moveset:

Celestial Rising - Big AoE, Removes BB Gauge partially.

Light Suppression - 2 turn Stealth

Call to Serve - Random Unit Summon

Call to Exile - Big AoE upon death of Summoned Unit

Talon of Pain - Medium 3-5k DoT (Bring a Regen Unit)

Dispersal Field - 3 Turn 50% Mitigation

Annihilation/Obliteration - Massive AoE - Not Fixed can be Mitigated and easily dealt with by using ATK Down, 50% Mitigation and 140% DEF buff.

Extermination - Upon exiting stealth mode (Big AoE) Mitigate 50%.

Ruination - 110% Unit HPFixed Debuffing AoE.  Guard, however UBB 75% Mitigation weirdly worked for me.  Post-patch I think only occurs now at 20% HP.

Mind Wreck - Single target LS Removal (occurs frequently after 15% HP in phase 2)

Holocaust - Massive AoE occurs @ 15% HP in phase 2.  75% UBB Mitigation allows you to survive.  WILL NOT kill units (stops dmg at 1 hp).

Wow.... sorry for the long absence - still having problems with video recorders.  Hopefully Gumi will implement replaykit into their next .apk for iOS9.

sry

So I spent 50 bucks on the new batch.  These pulls would have been awesome if I was just starting out the game.  Just endedup with Rhoa.  $50 is the price of a new console game.... for ONE unit Gumi really?

I guess I am the fool for buying/spending gems though.

(Sorry for the bad quality pic, It’s complicated...)

(There are a few more dupes below this too)

I guess the smart way to summon is to save for specific “metaunit” Rare Summon events or only pull once (with a lot of gems) every couple of months.

Gumi needs to implement a subscriber ($15 a month fee?) thing where we are guaranteed a couple of new units from every new batch, or at LEAST some kind of system for helping players who have most of the units, get new Units released without being rich or having to spend a ridiculous amount of money for them.  Rhoa may be top-tier but with my small income he definitely isn’t worth 50 bucks... that’s almost an entire days work for me.

What are your thoughts?

Wow here it is... only a month late.

quick guide for farming this ms.  even though the recorder freezes up i got enough clips to make it work.  by sept. 16 I should have a recorder again.

At the exact moment I received 500 followers on tumblr... I decided to do a summon!

On Global I am missing TWO units: Reis and Vernil.  As you guys may well know... today was Reis’ popular summon!

So I decided to do a few pulls!

What luck!  (Ok don’t hate this has only happened ONE or two other times...)

kthxbai!

Alright since no video editor... here it is.

100% CLEAR GOALS: (Copper/Arlind Seminary Means Don’t let any of the NPC/Locked units die)

Gold #2 - “Sealed Cardes Anew” means beat Cardes without beating Zebra.

This Grand Quest can be completed in two runs.

Run # 1 - Move Loch’s team from the camp to the castle to unlock the gate for your SECOND (the one with NO NPC’s) team.  Go fight Zebra, Luther and Phee with your “Party 2″ team.  Kill them.

Go kill Lorand with Loch’s team.  Don’t die.  Go Kill Cardes in less than 25 turns with Loch’s team.

Run #2 - Take Loch’s team straight to Cardes.  Kill him.  DON’T kill Zebra, Luther and Phee (in fact don’t do anything with your second team).

This will result in 100% completion.

Cost is nearly irrelevant.  You just need several good units.

BESTIE gets MvP for this GQ.  I tried with various teams but kept going back to Bestie/Elimo.  You need to be able to generate enough BC/Gauge to allow Elimo to activate her regular BB every turn.  BC Gen Spheres Primary/Secondary for Bestie or Lexida, FILL+ Spheres (Alzeon Pearl, etc...) and Drevas for Elimo.

Diana, Kikuri, Medina, Griel, Feeva, etc... will work as a sub for Bestie but Bestie’s Extra skill and regular attack will fill Elimo’s Gauge to full almost every time.

If you don’t have Elimo, another Mitigator can be used or another Healer like Ivris or Rinon can be used and the NPC Edea will become your Mitigator in the final Cardes fight.  You will need to GUARD all your units every FOURTH turn counting from Turn One if you do this during the FIRST fight with Cardes though.

Lorand Fight:

If you attack Lorand with a WATER element BB/SBB (just use Dean) he will weakly focus that unit on the next turn instead of going berserk and killing you.  Using a water Element BB/SBB works like a Taunt.  Alternatively you can use Deimos or Ultor.

Remember to use the unit you equipped with Lexida or Bestie to keep your BB ready every turn on Dean and Elimo.

This is what it looks like if you correctly trigger Lorand’s script:

Cardes fight one:

Bestie UBB + Elimo SBB = low dmg.

Cardes Script:

Every FOUR Turns = Massive 14k Fixed Attack.  Guard or Mitigate.  Will almost always hit your  HIGHEST HP Unit. 75% HP = Endless. 50% HP = TWO Fixed 14k DMG attacks (will usually hit HIGHEST HP Units/Loch/Elimo). 25% HP = Endless.

Cardes Fight TWO Script:

Turn ONE = Endless.  Every FOUR turns = 18(?)k FIXED DMG attack. 50% Endless, 25% Endless.  Mitigate Every turn!!

Lots of nasty cursing.  Cardes susceptible to WEAK (Edea).  Loch is equipped with Heavenly Bud so try to SPARK Loch’s single hit as much as you can.  Trigger SBB like this Loch --> Bestie --> Dean --> Lorand --> Edea for max dmg.

When you fight Luther, Phee and Zebra I recommend using both +HP% Leads, the damage can be really high, or use Bestie/Griel + Zenia for a quicker kill.  Null/Cure ails and BB Spam team w/Mitigation is the way to go for Luther, Phee and Zebra..

Hope this helps,

Can’t record right now, but I will post a text/picture guide of it.  I went with dedicated Healer (Altri 7*) and Tridon 7*.
