Octopath COTC F2P Farming Yan Long with a 8 turn clear

[@MarcAndreRChoquette]

Thanks for the guide! I didn't have Lars, so I used Odette instead. Used her to get some cracks in during the light weakness turns. Couldn't kill him in 8 turns, but I powered through and got him in 10. Then, it was just a matter of taking down the crows. Highly recommend equipping Alfyn with the 4-hit axe ability for that part, and if you got A2 to A2, give her the 3-hit axe.

[@cotc_grind1059]

nice! yes I agree about the axe. The good thing is that if Yan Long dies and your apothecaries survive, you win

[@jasonmartel854]

Swapping one of the sword damage accessories off of lars is a bit of a damage loss (though should still have safely enough with levelling/any help from A4 accessories), but adding in a beast scarf 5 (or the 200 hp adventurers token) to get 300hp/turn (or 200+some hp buffer) helps with consistency, since lars doesn't get the help from alfyn regen with this setup. Lars already has 15% sword damage, so the second sword accessory is only 5% damage + 20 patk (and lars is generally probably doing lower damage than the others anyway). Would probably be less of an issue at A3+, but given I only have him at A1 (plus lvl 10 ult) if he gets targetted by yan long's nuke, then he's then probably going to go down if he gets hit by anything much (wheras another ~400 hp from the 200hp increase, plus 1 turn of 200hp regen would help make it so he'd have to get double'd by the 2 hit random ice to be finished off basically)

[@cotc_grind1059]

yeah with better weapons it's best to focus on survivability I agree

[@karubinko]

Oh wow I have the same units and this worked for me also! Amazing

[@cotc_grind1059]

nice! congrats

[@goenawanarief4027]

will try later. thax for the video. right now I still farming the berserk weapon

[@cotc_grind1059]

Yeah Berserk are a big phys upgrade

[@Samuel_1802]

Do you think Fiore is replaceable, or is the Def down absolutely necessary? I think my best next option is Kouren (don't have Olberic either). Also I assume Theo could work in Alfyn's place?

[@cotc_grind1059]

yeah Alfyn just cast regen 1x as you saw. Theo will do. As for Fiore, the phys debuff is real strong. Maybe you can go with a strong nuker and hope for some crits

[@vdinh143]

You could've added Gravity from 2B before the break and replaced Fiore with another nuker.

[@cotc_grind1059]

@@vdinh143 yeah that's the beauty of trying to come up with stable strategies

What's a "Mighty Warrior's Emblem III" and how did you get so many?

[@cotc_grind1059]

you get those by fighting auguste herminia and tytos level 90. exchange for the emblems

[@Abdulrahman_Alhassun]

Can we get a revisit for this please I’m trying to farm him and largo for the upcoming towers and I haven’t beaten largo once yet🥲

[@cotc_grind1059]

Of course. What would you like to see? For the record, Fiore EX basically makes Yan Long a free fight. Largo still requires some specific units. You can try this kzbin.info/www/bejne/gHbGh6FqZZdjadU

[@antonisgkikas66]

can 2b be replaced with olberic?

[@cotc_grind1059]

yes sure you need him at a high level and hope for some crits though with current gear

[@humblygaming4605]

That seems like a really good strategy to nuke him on first break. Who would you recommend if I don't have 2B? Still trying to beat him.

[@cotc_grind1059]

Olberic is better than 2B - full bp cover on turn 3 and 5 (?). Otherwise strong nukers like lvl100 Kouren or maybe even Edea I suppose. Olberic > 2B (because of cover) 2B > others (sidestep) otherwise RNG fiesta but it will work

[@antonisgkikas66]

@@cotc_grind1059 i mean olberic doesnt have a 3x normal atk so im not sure about replacing 2b with him. also unless olberic a1/a3 he dies. dodge is better than cover here

How did you get that much hp on 2b and a2?

hp accessories and/or levels

@@cotc_grind1059 alright thanks

[@darkdill]

Tried your strat with Richard instead of Pia, but on Turn 6 he summons the crows, which dooms the run. EDIT: FINALLY. This annoying AF monk can go step on a rusty nail.

[@cotc_grind1059]

Good! Congrats. The problem is that you were dealing too much dmg pre-break.

[@darkdill]

@@cotc_grind1059 Yeah, I know. It actually wasn't consistent as to whether I was doing too much to him pre-break. Sometimes I would crit him too many times and then he'd summon the crows. But now that I've grinded his accessory, I'm not taking him on again until later, even if it's a faster way to get him his guidestones (compared to hunts). Too much of an RNG fest.

God mc the more i look at this the more i want lynette lvl 10 LOL

it's good!

If I have Lars, I can play it better

Olberic is better for this fight but I dont have him
