congrats! yeah they both will deal 99k rofl

Not alive, but not quite dead

LOL. I suppose so.

Oskha is very annoying. Maybe you can burst him before it comes down to only dagger weakness. The Sazigna duo you can just take down with damage mitigation so that's maybe the simpler one (see kzbin.info/www/bejne/anild2OAibd8lbM ). For Yan Long EX refights, it kinda boils down to having or not Fiore EX still.

@cotc_grind1059 I already chowed through EX1 and EX2 of Oskha (100+ turns each) so its just a matter of endurance I guess Unfortunately i don't have Tatloch so damage mitigation isn't easy (Almost died in Saz/Signa EX1 despite capping active attack debuffs and defense buffs)

@@luckyfini7320 There are some fights that you just cannot turtle though but they are scattered around (e.g. Squid Tatloch)

I did beat Squid Tatloch by absorbing all the damage with Kilns, but once there's strong aoe it becomes very hard to keep the other units alive

Yup, same, mine is a S9. I have a newer one but I keep the S9 for "war" (i.e., to carry on the streets and not mind if it ever gets robbed).

Thanks! If you want to request stuff just reach out here or on Discord

Oh I can definitely get behind that. This is ofc the ultimate lategame content (ie, the hardest content - Arenas - in their hardest mode - EX3). In 1 or 2 powercreeps we should be able to 1 or 2 break Gertrude EX3. So, if you prefer "sprint-like" battles, what you can do for now is something like this (assuming you have Solon+PrimEX combo): - pick a fight (let's say Gertrude) - pick your best dmg dealer (let's say A2) - compute the most damage you can deal - check dmg cap (let's say 99k + 50k from Bargello + 50k from Solon) - check max number of hits - for A2, that's 6 so 6x200 = 1.2M - you'll want Lucetta to extend pet debuffs, Meowgello for the 20% extra, etc - max dmg in this case is 2.4M plus whatever the other chars can muster (note that A2 would act 2, a secondary dmg dealer 2x, then the unit behind PrimEX 1x) - if the boss has around that much health, that's a fight you could be looking at (in this case, let's say 2.4M from A2, 2x400k from Bargello, 1x600k from Therion for a total of around 3.8M) Then check if the boss's HP is around that total using Wigg's spreadsheet docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1iZQaEDOKtoSHbkXwh-wgWRUcmwcsCm9KiBiJc1Z-Lcw/edit?usp=sharing . If the HP is way higher don't even bother. If not, then you can strategize a 1 break. Hope this helps

@@cotc_grind1059 Thank you very much for the suggestions you gave me. Unfortunately I only started the game 4 months ago and I miss many of the characters you mentioned. I hope in the future (if they don't close the game first) to get those characters and I will certainly take your suggestions into account

Yan Long's debuffs are super problematic =\

At least it's safe

I agree LOL. The devs probably didn't want to be bothered because this fight is tricky and you don't want to increase everyone's HP.

LOL yeah. I was hoping to do a LOT more dmg

That's true. 99 tickets waiting room huh..... But I'm still optimistic and hoping for Side Solistia and all

I'll remain hopeful until we get an announcement that confirms EOS

Oh wow turn 52? Congrats on the resilience!

Yeah it's an annoying fight because you have to break on turn 5 due to her defensive buffs.

I hate the lack of content and good news are long overdue but hopefully they're coming.

That's definitely a possibility. The reality is that despite Isla awesome ult buff, physical damage is still very dominant due to single characters with ultra high potencies and multihit.

@@cotc_grind1059 True, but they probably at least wanted to close the gap a little

She sure has rofl

The thing is that the meta sword teams are better than magic light or dark. But outside of that Ditraina can hit quite hard.

@cotc_grind1059 Totally agree. This is more a niche comp but if you pulled Isla is decent at least.

Yup. Ditraina: "Well watch this"

Of course! TMJ!

Nephti SP regen is pretty nice. But I think Canary can do it. Faster breaks = less SP lost.

@cotc_grind1059 How fast do breaks need to be? 4 turns?

@@edwardben-eboh7965 I think she recasts it 3 turns after break. Not 100% sure

The dmg mechanics in COTC are somewhat exploitable

She's alright I guess - she can fill in some real niche roles if you're missing one or 2 meta characters.

@@cotc_grind1059 I'm missing Solon who is in almost all of the videos about how to defeat EX3 bosses

I think it's the first hit on Google looking for COTC Discord discord.com/invite/octopath-traveler-champions-of-the-continent-770623322894630913

It was. I should have kept Kilns in the front.

Maybe Haanit EX, but you can't hit weakness with her. But she tanks perfectly fine

H'aanit EX is very good. It will be a longer fight but without problems.

My bets are on SS simply due to how easy it is to localize some content in a 2D game.

@ not to mention the holy beasts thing, there are still like Three or something?

sure. Hit us on Discord if you get stuck

There are two accs. with dread resistance, one in Edoras Castle and the other you obtain it with LAL currency of the hunts

@@artmadeus855 wasn't enough- I swear some runs that dude spams the aoe dread so both rows got BP locked with Dread; was wondering if it's due to some condition I have unwittingly triggered that made him spam Dread

it's basically RNG afaik, but you can equip anti-dread accs on some key units like I did.

Herminia has way too much HP and the SP drain is super annoying. I hope I can come up with something a little more efficient but the tendency is it'll take long...

Reach us on Discord if you get stuck

Well now is a great time since they added the extra ruby rewards.

Yes for sure. We don't have the firepower to 1-break her without gacha A4s I don't think. I'll probably resort to some taunt+sustain strategy but it will be a very different team than for these 3 fights.

Not to mention her annoying SP sap field that drains 20% of your front row SP per turn. If you don't break within 5 turns, you might as well quit the battle and try again. (She also has so much shields and it would be impossible without Canary or Odio O)

@@Thefungangiscool I think I saw on a video that Nephti's HP Nut skill can grant immunity to the sp drain if you have enough Cheer Points

rofl you're a veteran now. congrats!

@@cotc_grind1059 ahahah not yet, many things to learn! thank you :)

Yup haha next time I'll pay more attention to the lore

@@cotc_grind1059 No worries! Was great!! :)

Good to know! I'll think of a real challenge so the fight comes together

Sazantos, Signa, Canary, etc. Lianna's only advantage (9 months ago) was the shield shave+dmg mitigation. Sazantos >>> Rondo anyways. Sazantos hits everything in the bot right route. You can probably use Lars as well to get some extra dmg and debuff since you're not rocking Solon.

LOL yes the infamous KS (kill steal)

She's awesome in this fight

awesome!

rofl I see

yup! we like free
