I like these comp choices. Looked very easy, plus an excuse to use Suzumi.

for some reason towers kept reappearing at arouind 3:20 on video, and any other teams i kept bringing up against him kept being stopped by MORE towers unsure if its RNG to get those towers but 4 out of 4 times i attempted this the towers would appear and basically made the run impossible to clear is it a matter of rng or groggy/atg?

[@shiawasagi]

I'm not entirely sure what could cause that since the 2 spots I can think of when he can spawn more towers are 2:50 if you get groggy at wrong time, and after 3:35 if you don't have enough damage to push to the last phase (below 50% HP), and you can see neither are 3:20. Few things I can think of are: maybe when the initial towers go down can affect next tower, wrong groggy timing, or tower spawn being delayed by his other attacks. I think the first thing to try is making sure to skip the tower spawn at 2:50 on the video (2:25 remaining time in game) by filling the groggy meter, and see if that helps. You can see the animation where he kinda goes up then down, and the 2 hatches where the towers launch are open. If you see the towers actually launching, it's too late even if you get groggy. In this video, I get 1 of 2 panic shot procs (ignoring the ones shot on the towers), and if they both proc'd, it would have definitely been too early, and he would still spawn towers. Another thing is that his attack animations are quite long, so he can be stuck doing that instead even when he should be spawning more towers. If you get him stunned during this time, he will then spawn towers after waking up, so make sure you see the hatches open.

Nice

[@ningensan8198]

Great clear. I think I might be able to do torment hod. How much investment do swakamo, kayako and suzumi need for torment at the minimum?

[@shiawasagi]

Thank you. I'm not really a numbers guy, so I'm actually not sure of the minimum, so here are just some overview. Sorry for the wall of text. First of all, torment requires 20 seconds of CC, and CC boost will help (for insane and torment only). S. Wakamo I'd say her high priority is EX if you are following what I did. I couldn't get though the first phase without her, but I think I remember seeing others using her for the boss damage, in which case, other skills may be more important. I had her at UE1 5/7/7/7 Kayoko You want at least UE2 for the CC boost, and focus on her EX and passive. Panic shot doesn't actually increase CC duration by leveling up, so you can leave that low. I had her at UE3 5/7/M/4 Suzumi You want T2 unique gear for 3 seconds of CC with her normal skill, which means you need to get her to 5 star and 25 affection level. Her normal skill doesn't increase duration with leveling, so can be left low. Her EX gains CC at level 3, and duration increases at 5, so it needs to be at least 3. Leveling it up to 4 doesn't do anything more in terms of CC, so you can leave it at 3 or go all the way to 5. I had her at UE3 3/7/1/1 That said, since I usually don't theory craft or anything like that, I just sit on resources until I see a strat that suits me, and then start leveling up. These are just what I did, and there might be a better way of doing it for you, so I'd say don't commit to anything until you need to.

@@shiawasagi Thank you so much! guess I'll have a lot of farming to do. And Thank you for the last tip I was just trying to see which torment boss I might stand a chance at beating and hod seems to be my best shot. Especially since its pretty far away which should give me a lot of time to farm the needed units

[@ngilerolix3979]

are that student have T8 equipment? specially the hairpin/ ball one for mika, i still strugle on equipment since i use all energy for current shianhaijing event (global)

[@shiawasagi]

Honestly, I don't remember what my equipment was at the time, but likely whatever the max tier was, especially for characters like mika who does most of the damage.

[@andododo]

any alternative for swakamo? i'm thinking maybe miyako would be fine?

[@shiawasagi]

I'm basing this opinion on memories of more recent elimination raid because this specific fight was a while ago, so I don't have a clear memory. The difference in cc duration is quite big, but I think miyako has a better cc duration per cost, and since team 1's job is going through phase 1, I think miyako should be fine. Damage might be lower, and the timing will be different, so just make sure you don't wipe or get timed out in phase 1. Alternatively, I think many people had mika in team 1, so if you can do that, there's no worrying about the damage. I just needed her in team 3.

[@andododo]

@@shiawasagi thanks for the reply! would keep all of those in mind
