#goz

That's right: I beat Torment for the first time in Grand Assault. Guess using $19 (converted from local currency rate) for that selector ticket was worth it.

To be honest, I have a very mixed opinion on Goz — on one side, Goz's high CRIT and CDMG resistance, the absolute RNG that is the second phase, along with the inherent chaoticity of reposition makes clearing this raid an absolute misery in some cases. On the other side, the OST for this raid is a total banger and Goz is THE Tracksuit Yuuka my wife raid, so I've been looking forward for this raid for some time.

With rant over, without further ado, here's the report for each color.

Red

Hare (Camp): Level 90, 3*, Skills M/M/1/1, Gears 4/9/9

Yuuka (Track): Level 90, 5* UE40, Skills M/7/7/1, Gears 9/9/9

Hoshino (Swimsuit): Level 90, 5* UE30, Skills M/7/M/M, Gears 9/9/9

Hina (Dress) (borrowed): Level 90, 5* UE50, Skills M/M/M/M, Gears ?/?/?

Ako: Level 90, 4*, Skills M/M/7/M, Gears 6/9/9

Shiroko (Swimsuit): Level 90, 3*, Skiis M/7/7/M, Gears 8/9/8

Still the same as the ShiroKuro team (with the same reasoning), but with borrowed maxed Dress Hina instead since I now have my own Camp Hare. I had to use Tracksuit Yuuka's skill early to shield Camp Hare from the bunny mobs, but that was done before the first train comes up, so there's a 50% chance you have to restart because you just get the team slammed by the train. However, if you guess right and survive the first train, Dress Hina will absolutely obliterates Goz — heck, I don't even need to move my team during second phase (unless the bomb hat ends up on middle) until the puppet bomb skill. Overall the easiest color for this raid.

Yellow

Team 1

Iori: Level 90, 5* UE50, Skills M/7/7/7, Gears 9/9/9

Mika: Level 90, 5* UE40, Skills M/M/M/M, Gears 9/9/9

Tsubaki: Level 90. 5* UE40, Skills M/7/7/4, Gears 9/9/9

Hare (Camp): Level 90, 3*, Skills M/M/1/1, Gears 4/9/9

Shiroko (Swimsuit): Level 90, 3*, Skiis M/7/7/M, Gears 8/9/8

Eimi (Swimsuit): Level 90, 3* Skills M/1/7/1, Gears 4/4/9

Honestly never thought that I can beat this color on Torment, until I checked clear teams on Japan server and realize that clearing without both version of Ui is possible. With that information, I tried and beat Goz on mock three times before finally doing it for real.

For the first team, aim Iori's EX at the bunnies on the opposite lane from hers and she must kill one bear on the second shot (the other bear in her lane will be taken care of by Mika). Otherwise, reset since that means Iori won't kill the bunnies on her side with her EX and the bunnies' attack will reduce Camp Hare's HP to 50% — dangerously low to be kept alive for the entire raid duration.

If I managed to pass that condition, then you just have to deal with the repositioning them. Easier to say than to do, obviously, since like half the reason I reset is that I fucked up during repositioning my team and getting Mika or Camp Hare killed. Curiously, the Iori-Swimsuit Eimi-Camp Hare-Mika skill cycle I use fits with Goz's 30 seconds train cycle.

All being said, this team can do 23-24M damage to Goz.

Team 2

Mika (borrowed): Level 90, 5* UE50, Skills M/M/M/M, Gears ?/?/?

Hoshino (Swimsuit): Level 90, 5* UE30, Skills M/7/M/M, Gears 9/9/9

Yuuka (Track): Level 90, 5* UE40, Skills M/7/7/1, Gears 9/9/9

Cherino: Level 87, 3*, Skills M/7/7/M, Gears 8/7/5

Fuuka (New Year): Level 87, 3*, Skills M/4/4/M, Gears 3/3/7

Himari: Level 90, 3*, Skills M/1/1/M, Gears 5/9/1

The earlier iteration of this team has Battle Hoshino in place of Cherino due to me fearing Mika dying from the bomb, but I fould out using Cherino is faster for approximately the same amount of mald. After all, Tracksuit Yuuka's thighs shield is pretty thicc and Mika has like 80k HP and literally Yuuka-level evasion for some reason, so she could tank the puppet bomb with some amount of luck.

The fact that there's only one safe hat, exclusive to Torment difficulty, is surprisingly less annoying to deal with than I thought — you just have to dodge the bomb zone to the left or right (yes, there is room for that) when the hats stop moving. The primary reason for reset when using the second team is the puppet bomb penetrating a shielded Mika instead.

Tracksuit Yuuka is really a godsend for this phase, and Goz in general.

Blue

Kayoko (New Year): Level 90, 3*, Skills M/7/1/M, Gears 8/9/8

Shiroko Terror (borrowed): Level 90, 5* UE50, Skills M/M/M/M, Gears ?/?/?

Yuuka (Track): Level 90, 5* UE40, Skills M/7/7/1, Gears 9/9/9

Hanako (Swimsuit): Level 90, 5* UE40, Skills M/7/M/M, Gears 9/9/9

Ako: Level 90, 4*, Skills M/M/7/M, Gears 6/9/9

Himari: Level 90, 3*, Skills M/1/1/M, Gears 5/9/1

Shiroko Terror can truly melts Goz's HP, just like they say. However, score chasing is still a miserable experience due to Goz's high CRIT resistance. There is faster clear using New Year Mutsuki or Swimsuit Izuna in place of Swimsuit Hanako, but I stuck with this team since all of the students in this team has been in space during Volume F.

motherfucker and his rng ass makes me reset a lot
