I rushed getting Medea up to 70 for this giant ghost, and I have to say, after giving her a Black Grail, level 10 Fox's Wedding and level 10 Instant Enhancement, I expected her Rule Breaker to at least break 100K damage.

Kinda disappointed. She killed the ghost, but it took way more RURU BREAKAS than I thought it would.
Yeah Medea is honestly one of the weaker ST NPs in the game; she makes up for it by being able to do it almost every other turn.

Thinking about it more, Medea's honestly lucky it deals damage at all.

I'm sure I'll still use her some times, she's a solid 3* Caster regardless, but I'm kinda wishing I'd put those pages on getting Nursery Rhyme up and running instead now.

Waver/Medea Lily/Heracles/Heracles/Euryale/Mash took Edgevenger out without having to burn any seals, though it was very close with my Heracles as the sole survivor.

Still waiting for 10 more stamina to do Dantes. Those poor ghosts didn't stand a chance with my HUGE crits team of Nursery Rhyme, Hans and Waver. Final ghost only got one super move off thanks to Waver and NR spamming NP.

Finally cleared the event, man the first part gave me so much trouble. After 3 tries I managed to beat the big ghost thanks to Hans' buffs and Heracles being to sole survivor to deal the finishing blow. Dantes on the other hand was a complete joke, I underestimated how much Euryale's NP can do with Bride Nero+Waver buffs. In the end I burnt all 3 of my seals so my Euryale equipped with Heavens Feel can blast him away for 175K a piece, also kinda helped that the def down from Bride Nero's NP proc'ed too.

I'd have probably been able to do that or non-seal it if I'd thought my comp through better, but my kinda braindead team got him down most of the way so I just went gently caress it, revived, and nuked the rest of his bar the next turn.

Fox Wife/Grumpy Mage/Cute NEET managed to burn through the first stage no problem and then GOLDEN, Waver, Robin Hood, Shiki, Medea, and a friend's NP5 (:eyepop:) Vlad made the second fight not the worst.

I'm a little sad, I WAITED and HOPED but Edgemond Dantes never came to me with my tickets. Better luck in the rerun, hopefully. and better luck with my pulls for jalter in a month or so

Thank god I could use a support Waver for this quest. Charged up Lu Bu/Kaleido, nuked him with NP B B for my first real damage, Chevalier took off some heat for the first few turns. Managed to halt his NP for a few turns but then he nuked me, took out Lu Bu / Ushi (who replaced Chev), almost killed Waver with his first skill active + 1 attack. He survived long enough to give Liz / Artoria defense + offense, died next turn, then (mostly) Liz took him apart. No command spells (that run), but very close.

Unsurprisingly the ghost troupe didn't stand much of a chance against Medea/Mozart/Hans. Mozart really needs his strengthening, though - I can't say he contributed much to the fight as is.

Euryale really proving her chops this event. Especially on the last boss where she had him stunned for like a 1/3 of the actual fight.

Ghost parade was a bit of a slog due to my only high-level damage-dealing caster being Medea but I managed to win (after everyone but Tamamo died and she barely hung on in the end because of boss ghost crits and NPs). My first attempt at Dantes ended poorly with a standard "buff the zerker and beat him into a pulp" team after he surprised me with his NP charge skill and pulled a Chateau D'If on my frontline a turn early and my backline fell shortly afterwards, so I threw a MLB Holy Shroud on Tamacat, tossed every defense buff on her, and marveled as she took only two digits worth of damage per hit. Then everyone apart from her died but she still managed to land the final blow. :toot:

I went in with Waver, Robin Hood, Support Tamamo, Mash, St. George, Heracles, in that order. Robin was, of course, the frontline offense, and I put my MLB Black Grail on him despite my reservations (I was leaning heavily toward Halloween Princess for that extra starting boost, but decided with an Arts team building NP was not a problem).

It was dicey at the beginning, I'll admit. Dantes immediately hit Robin with a lucky crit, so I had to waste Tamamo's Fox Wedding immediately to make sure he didn't die in the next turn. But once Tamamo got her NP off and started the ball rolling everything fell into place. Dante never even got a chance to use his NP because I either had Waver's NP ready to remove it, had Tamamo remove it, or stunned him with the plug suit. Took 10 turns in all, and he never once penetrated my front line. Arts teams are good folks.

Well, that was a short fight. One Servant KO'd, one command seal used, three turns taken.

Went in with Herc(Kaleidoscope) + Waver + support Kintoki (NP3, MLB Imaginary Element), and put Gil in my back line. First turn proceeded to put up all attack buffs along with Waver's other skills to fully NP charge them, then swapped in Gil to add another attack buff. NPs from the Herc/Kintoki, plus a Kintoki buster card, proceeded to knock off over half his health, though unfortunately the stun didn't stick. He proceeded to multi-crit Herc on his turn, but this was ironically to my benefit due to the card reshuffle. Second turn had me command seal Kintoki's NP back up, then did a NP buster brave chain which took him to 7k. Third turn was just cleanup.

Honestly probably would have had roughly the same results even without Gil, so it's really just another example of just how powerful just having Waver is to prep everyone else so quickly.

yeah Dantes with no CE is not very good for this.

I would suggest not feeling too bad using Seals on this; the second fight's much easier then the first.
