HALIBABICA'S PROFILE

3-13: Cold Encounter

Can you decipher the spirit's words? nac uoy erus m'I.

Youmudad was no problem. We just tore him up with set damage moves like we've been.

So Twilight Spark was Mystic, huh? I guess that move was supposed to be instant death instead of just mostly instant death? I put up with that for two thirds of the fight! There are no accessories I know of that null or absorb Mystic, so I piled on magic resistance items and hoped for the best.

I don't know how you managed to beat her within 100 turns, because Reflection Nebula is designed to waste your time. Having to shrug off the same amount of damage you deal is a royal pain, even just for 20 turns. Also, I had no way of knowing it lasted 20 turns because she didn't have a visible status while it was active. All I could do was smack her lightly and wait to see if I took the same damage back.

On an unrelated note, Advent Cirno's Aura Whirl doesn't do what it says. It heals a big chunk of health, but the HP/MP Regen effects are lost at higher levels. But let me guess...you never really used Advent Cirno, either?

I'd fix the cyclone loop, but you don't have to worry about the Intel. Gravity is listed right in its weaknesses, and it's obvious something that tanky would be devastated by it.

did you really win using just Keine's 9999 attack???

Heh, there was a little more to it than just that. It took a few attempts to get a feel for the fight and how it works, but I eventually came up with the strategy in the picture. Keine double-casting her 9999 attack is the main source of damage, but here's the rest of what made it work:

For starters, Chaos is contributing with her own fixed damage move, which hits for over 3k since Yiazmat's level is huge. It doesn't have perfect accuracy, but she certainly made a dent, especially with her auto-haste (sadly, double-cast doesn't work with that move). That leaves Reimu and Aya in support positions, but of course this boss can really dish it, so here's how it went down...

The first time I fought it, we had a rough battle that eventually reached it's strongest move, Cyclone. I thought it was only going to cast it once, but instead, it just kept casting it every turn after that. Naturally, I couldn't keep up with that much damage output, so that was how the first fight ended. I can't help but wonder if this was unintentional, as it doesn't seem right from a design standpoint, but my observation was that it eventually reached a point where the only damage being dealt was wind-element.

So I gave Keine the null-wind accessory, Reimu the absorb wind accessory, added Aya to the party, and used her Demonic Kemono skill to keep Keine alive at 6 HP until the wind phase began. After that, it was just a matter of time. I kept double-cast on Keine, Demonic Kemono on Chaos, and we just hammered away until there was nothing left. I beat it in 23 minutes.

Keine did cause a spontaneous level-up when it happened, but yes, I was able to use the menu, navigate the map, warp to new locations, the whole thing; just under a pitch-black screen.
