If anyone viewing this is having difficulties with their personal prog on a certain mech let me know, and I will try to help! I have cleared this multiple times solo now with near ilevel characters so I can help out as best I can! Apologies on the length, the rough cut was 32 minutes and cut a large part of good moments out to make it more manageable. Getting the gold to get him 1600 for the Solo Ivory run and working on a new class picks video for new players!

Love these, cannot wait for the later stuff. Have just cleared G2 Akkan solo, had 2 attempts at G3 but had to give up, hopefully after reset I can clear the entire raid in the 7 days. Control Glavier at 1586 with 2 pieces of Akkan gear. I know some people are less than enthusiastic with the rewards but I enjoy doing these solo raids as it allows me to 'clear content' without any stress or anxiety of failing mechs in group settings and wiping the raids. Keep up the good work!

There it is. I enjoy this series so much - it's interesting that our experiences differ so much depending on what character we use to prog the fights with. I did everything as WD and Mayhem serker, and while Mark has been able to just soak mechanics that would kill my characters on most previous fights, the shoe is now on the other foot as he ran out of steam on GL so many times on G3 when I 2-shot it on prog. I struggled so much more with G2 shadow mech than Mark did though, because you gave him the secret sauce immediately; that you can run straight to the safe spots when the skulls start blinking - which is extremely unintuitive; run OUT of the shadow and into the light, to safety. An inexperienced person will instead try to stay in the shadow as he turns. The maxroll guide writer even trolls people, if you look it up it says that you have to "pay attention to the skulls and follow the shadow closely to survive this mechanic." I only found out because I complained about the mech in a reddit comment and someone then explained that you can just go immediately. I haven't been petrified since. Anyway, loved the video, looking forward to watching Mark take on Voldis and G3 mirror countering. I think running bonus stagger runes will help, he can probably complete the mech with just 2 counters with stagger runes.

I'm happy you're enjoying the series! I was infamous on Akkan prog for wiping at shadow mech on g2 and even to this day i will stumble and get what i presume is a ping freeze, Mark legitimately just ran in circles not even realizing how annoying it is because of that initial tip aha. My fear is g2 at the moment, I haven't even fully realized how intensive each mech is on g3 for mark to be locked in...

Gunlancer in general is just an odd class compared to others. And I just mean they either have the easiest time in the raid or they are having an even more uncomfortable time. Its why I dropped it out of my main 6 not too long ago. I just hate that some raids its super comfy and you can just eat almost everything. The meter mechanics that are in vykas/clown/akkan/echidna were so punishing they nerfed it for front attackers, but then go to charges instead for echidna. So while there are going to be parts of the raid that are easier on GL, other parts are actually annoying with back dash/super slow/meter mechs and knowing what you can just eat and what you can tank. Great series tho.

@IntoTheCrawlspace3 ай бұрын
He will do either 3 turns or 2, per set and there are 3 sets. Low chance he will do the full spin laser, but if that happens that counts as 1 of the 3 sets. In the regular rotations in each set, he will only do 1 of 2 rotations, 90 degrees or 180. The direction is based on the two hanging green skulls on his side. if the one on his left glows it's Counter Clock Wise, if it glows on his right side it's Clockwise. His sides are determined by his front attack marker not the side of the screen, so if he is facing downwards (which he usually is when the mech starts) and the one on the left side glows, that's his right, so he will turn Clockwise. If you can focus on the fact of where he is facing, then the lights determining turns will be really easy as he will turn in the direction of the light. As soon as the light flashes you can leave the shadow and move but must be on the shadow when it finishes the rotation. If you're like me, I was very panic-filled during this and was constantly clicking left to right. just find the center of the shadow and stay there. I have found as you go farther back into the wider shadow the radius is a little finicky so I try to stay somewhat close, not super tight but mid-close for reliable safety. In his rotation, he can only do 3 total variations. (90,90,180), (90,180,90) or (180,180). He will always finish his rotation on his start spot. So if he starts at 12 o'clock and his first rotation is 90 degrees Clock Wise to 3 o'clock, there are now only two options left. He will either do CCW 180 from 3 to 9 o'clock and finish back with a 90-degree CW turn back to 12 or he will do another 90-degree CW turn from 3 o'clock to 6, then finish with a 180-degree CCW turn back to the start position of 12. Additionally, never use your spacebar this will not save you and will actually work to freeze you even if you make it. Mark had a somewhat slow class and you saw his ease of just rotating, so if you just stay calm and click the turn locations you will be fine. it is panic that will wipe out most people on this mech whether it be over-clicking or using their spacebar. Hope this helps, was a wall of words so probably just too much....

So full moon is one of the best classes in the game, the issue is without better quality accessories and without proper wealth runes (have you done Arkesia tour?) it can feel a little clunky until it hits higher overall spec numbers. Also stagger on SE is a little rough since most of yours comes from your pink skills and unless you have them up it’s rough. Are you using the secret siddereal at that stagger for the tech?

The only problem with solo raid is, it's the same as normal/hard raid ... wipe mech this and that plus the rewards just garbage absolutely not worth it for returners/new players. The game design were undoubtedly garbage to its core and yet they didn't intend to change any of these, instead in their mind this wipe mechs all over the raids are good for the game ??? I personally think the korean devs don't know how to run a business properly, their job was to create a game where people could enjoys thoroughly and gain revenues, not the other way around. Now the game currently in support mode both in korea & global .. waiting for its demise, all of these simply because the devs were delusional.
