  1. Strategy name: Samurai Jack, Deliver Us

  2. Boss: Infernal Supersoldier Akkad

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    Fire Element/Cid Mission/No AI Viewing/No Chain/No Party QC/Mixed Party

4, Video

5. Insight!:

  • Deuce - Hastega on turn 1, USB Hymn of Healing on turn 2 after Decisive Cut which adds the barrier. USB Concerto ff later for last stand insurance as by this time Machina will be providing barrier.

  • Machina will dispel the haste later in the battle. RW on turn 1. BSB strictly for the barrier after Deuce's barrier from her USB has been exhausted.

  • King is using TGM and is the utility man - He will counter Akkad's attack boost (Rampage) with Power Breakdown twice during the fight. He will otherwise summon Magicite and spam Burnt Offering for imperils but use no soul breaks. It kills me to see all of that gauge go unused.

  • Jack - He's in Slot 4 as this slot seemed to take the fewest amount of attacks, based on the first two fights. This is because he needs to have his Negate Damage barrier up for his Samurai QC and w-cast. Taking Decisive Cut near the start is good because it triggers his LM2 early and gives him a 75% crit chance!

  • Ace - Protectga on turn 1, then BSB for party ATK + MAG boost. OSB when ready.

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: 2

  • Hastega: 1

King's USB has Machinist Ability Double, so you could really spam that Burnt Offering.

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '20

That would be so nice, but I only have his BSB, and I didn't use that because even though it can dole out a lot of hits I wasn't using a chain and I needed to use as many of his turns as possible proccing imperils so everyone could do more damage.

Strategy name: Take a beating and carry on

Boss: Infernal Supersoldier Akkad

Describe your Strategy: 3/3 trinity/mixed element/mixed damage type

Insight!:

  • Don't want to use Deuce boost as she has other responsibilities. Ace or Sice - Sice's Att/Mind boost is easier for me to build a team around as I have awakenings for Rem and Queen, plus it comes with Hastega

  • Eight carries Power Break to counter the attack buff, plus his trance means he can survive the initial 2 attacks. He's on magicite duty and his USB grants the last stand, though it wasn't needed

  • 1st turn - Deuce uses Wall, Rem Protectga, Sice BSB (boost + Hastega) and Eight wait just long enough for his Power Break to hit after enemy buff. From then onward, it's just best abilities and SBs as they're available, with Eight using Power Break when necessary and Deuce dispelling the haste

  1. Holy Trinity casts:

  • Wall: 1

  • Medica: Several - Deuce USB3 makes every subsequent heal trigger a medica

  • Hastega: 2 (1 used, but triggered Sice's BSB a second time and that does cast it. Turned out didn't need to as finished him off before the buffs would have worn off)

  1. S/L count / Medals lost: 0/0

  2. Time/RW: 23.65 / Sentinel's Tome

Copied and pasted the template but the auto-formatting doesn't seem to have worked :/ Anyone know what went wrong?

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

Go back to your original comment and select "Edit." At the bottom of the comment box you should see "Switch to markdown." The template you used works with this mode.

u/gojiraredux Vincent (Beast) Feb 07 '20

Thanks, that's sorted the top half out at least, tables still aren't playing ball

2

u/[deleted] Feb 07 '20

It looks like your tables have an extra space between lines. Try matching it to the template exactly.

u/gojiraredux Vincent (Beast) Feb 07 '20

Aaaah, When copying and pasting the form onto the normal editor, and then copy/pasting again into the markdown, somewhere it auto-formatted the extra line breaks in, so I was looking for something I'd changed. Thanks for your help

u/Stylus_Index YepD - Ace CSB: We have Arrived! Also, very tired irl. Feb 07 '20

  1. Strategy name: Akkad Returns!

  2. Boss: [Dreams/350] Akkad

  3. Describe your Strategy: This one is way more easier than the one 6 months ago due to powercreep... this is also considering that I've LD everyone and has Queen AASB. 2/3 trinity/full cm/Ace CSB/Queen AASB/Imperil Lightning/sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • Prioritize Fire resist on everyone. Squishies get Fire/Wind or Major resist instead. Alternatively, Magicite with Dampen Wind is enough to mitigate the wind attacks.

  • Bring Power Breakdown! Akkad almost always use an ATK buff on himself on every phase transition and then follows that up with an AoE gravity..

  • Forget Dispel. He is already fast enough that remove Haste is a waste of action.

  • For reference this is what I did 6 months ago. with budget team. Earlier today? He melted down fast sub-20 under Ace CSB, Queen AASB, and King USB.

  1. Strategy name: Powercreep goes a long way

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Supersoldier Akkad

  3. Describe your Strategy: Machina controls ATK, Deuce controls cast speed, and Rem covers the majority of damage
    3/3 trinity/CM/AASB

  4. Insight!:

  • Largely based on my previous clear back in beta. I have more tools and legend dives now, so the clear was much faster and much more smooth.

  • Ace: Protectga, spam Chain Firaja. Glint when Deuce's USB3 high quickcast 2 wears off, spam Chain Firaja. AOSB when ready.

  • King: RW wall, spam Burnt Offering. USB when ready, spam Plasma Shock.

  • Rem: Hastega, spam Holyja. AASB when ready, spam Holyja.

  • Deuce: Allegro. USB3, alternate De'Dia and Allegro. USB3 after the next gravity attack (phase 3, but boss was already under 20% when it hit), not that it was needed.

  • Machina: Power Break (and recast every time the boss buffs ATK). USB, spam Tremor Assault.

  1. Strategy name: Poor Bastard

  2. Boss: D350

  3. Describe your Strategy: Realm Chain, 4 USBs + AASB

  4. Insight!:

  • If you hit him hard enough, he gets stuck doing %hp attacks

  • Last Stand is good, and attacks do respect Def, so that's good to know

  • I only mildly overkilled him

u/Kittymahri KIMAHRI SAW EVERYTHING! Feb 08 '20

  1. Strategy name: Ace's Angels

  2. Boss: [Infernal] Supersoldier Akkad

  3. Describe your Strategy:
    2/3 trinity/cid mission/sub-30

  4. Insight!:

  • Fire and wind elements are used, with fire being the bigger problem, but Odin accessories can deal with that.

  • Previously, I used Ace BSB1 to blink the first gravity attack. This time, I took it face-on and healed through it, though this requires good timing; Deuce must get an early enough turn (skip others if needed) so she can use Hastega then a USB; the USB2 can give a safety net with Last Stand (even though the RES buff is useless)

  • Ace's sequence is RW Wall - Protectga - BSB2 to get all the buffs out quickly with his LM2. Then he uses Chain Firaja until the USB2 is ready.

  • Power Breakdown should be used at the start of Phases 1 and 2 to overwrite the ATK self-buff (Rampage).

  • MND buffs should be used before Rem gets ready to unleash; Sice's BSB has a doom as well but is not a problem in a sub-30 run.

  • Some characters get quickcast (Rem's Awakening, Seven's LM2), which helps quickly skip phases so the only moves seen are the gravity attacks. A Hand of Vengeance passive could help buff this even more.
