Sorry for the late upload. I was really busy last week, and I myself got the clears basically on the last day (a day before upload). Good thing it was elimination raid and not total assault, I guess.
I could not get a 3 team clear. I think I had enough spec, but just didn't have right strategy. I think I could have figured something out if I had time, but I'm just relieved I was able to clear and maintain "all torment cleared" status (which isn't tracked by anyone but myself, but hey, it's important to me). TBH, I'm not super happy with the score I got. I think I can get more. Oh, well. You can't have everything in life.
Kazusa and Kanna deal a ton of damage together, but I just couldn't figure out skill order to keep them alive.
Enough of top rank strats, and let's talk about my strat. After I found out I just don't have time to figure out Kazusa and Kanna strat, I tried to look for other strats, and most I could find was 2 swimsuit Wakamo strat. Cool, easy enough, I thought. Then I realized none of my clubmates had her as helper. My club isn't competitive at all, which is why I joined in the first place, so I'm not complaining. It did make me really worried, tho.
Then I found a video from MilkTea-sensei, and plenty of people have Mika as helpers, so I gravitated towards this.

Team 1, I don't follow exactly the same. Just need to take care of the pillars. I couldn't bring any of the heavy hitters like Mika or Chihiro, so it's really slow. I probably could have brought Kazusa here, but I was saving her for potential team 5. I still don't know when I can retreat, so I was being extra careful because I couldn't lose any more tickets at this point.
Team 2, I thought my strat was similar to other strats, but I was about 1M damage short compared to another clear video, and the difference was not using Mika EX on the second pillar. Maybe more, but I haven't checked the whole thing yet.
Team 2 is most of your reset point is going to be through Kayoko's panic shot procs, and I'll explain some of them. The first one is right after the start, panic shot on the first pillar. If it doesn't proc, it's a reset.
With my strat, it doesn't matter much whether you get a proc on the second pillar, but some of the skill orders are going to be different. I do get a proc in my video. Without the proc, you use Kayoko EX to debuff the pillar instead. With the other (better) strat, I do believe you need to get a proc so you can kill it fast.
After that, if you did get a proc on the second pillar, you need the next 2 shots proc. And for both not getting a proc on the second pillar, or the other strat, you need to miss a proc for 1 of next 2. The order doesn't matter.
Another thing to note, I waste some meter before the stun. The boss can use a skill in a weird time, and that delays the next pillar spawn. Worst, it can use the "ultimate" because of the delay, in which case, I think it's just a reset. If you get the same pattern as me, you can either reset, or pre-buff Mika. I just wasted some meter because I wanted to stick to the strat I knew and not risk a ticket.
After this stun, I think the strats more or less converge, and I want to say you can miss 1 proc. Missing 2 procs, I'm pretty sure it's a reset. I don't know if not missing any is also a reset or not, but you will probably miss more than hit all procs. Doing the strat isn't really bad, but getting the procs is the hard part.
Team 3, I'm trying to use as much Mika EX as possible, while ending the fight with 50% stun meter. I know 4.5M remaining is good enough from practice, but I went way lower in my actual run, so I just kept going.
Once I think I can't maintain the debuff anymore, I just kept spamming Hoshino to get the stun meter up. I barely made it to 50% before the fight was over. In hindsight, cutting it short was probably faster overall.
Team 4, I just keep using CC to keep resetting the ATG meter, and when HPs get low, I use Koharu to top them up. It's basically home stretch at this point. It's pretty simple.
One thing to note is not to fill up the CC meter while the boss is stunned because that won't fill the stun meter. I do that exact thing because I thought I was about to clear anyway, so I just went for it. I probably could have gotten another stun, but I don't think that would have sped up the clear, so it wasn't really a loss anyway.
Like I said, I wasn't too happy with the results. In other fights, even though I'm nowhere close to the top, I at least feel that I did my best. I don't think this was my best. But I shouldn't be haunted by this. I need to move on...
...because next up is the dreaded new elastic armor raid. Brand new boss, and brand new armor type (in terms of raid). I'm actually quite excited. I hope it's not too bad and I don't need all sonic type characters maxed out.
