Stage 34-38 BOSS (Behemoth) Normal Mode | Goddess of Victory: Nikke

[@nicz7694]

Really appreciated this video now after Solo Raid is done, gives useful insight for some Boss Mechanics. I really haven't paid any attention during the campaign since my CP is already too high so I basically got no combat time on it. Helped me for the Solo Raid Challenge stage! Video is definitely better than the Behemoth info in the Solo Raid menu. Easy to understand and well seperated! Awesome job!

[@cannedjar]

Thanks for the kind words.

[@CommandantFrost]

2:27 crown shield will carry all of that aoe damage so we dont need to cover much except if she charge and you cannot able to burst the shield in time

[@meimeiblue]

used the same team comp as yours and finally was able to beat it! but for some reason the 3rd phase didn't trigger. my team would've been wiped out but nonetheless I'm happy

[@valmore2477]

I swapped in Noise for Rogue and made sure to slap a cube on Naga, tossed Red Hood in for Cinderella and that seemed to do the trick.

[@markn26]

Yeah I'm going to be stuck on this one for half a year...even with a 515k team... the final "lightning" phase = it charges my team and kills 3/5 while ducking. I feel like their motivation for this boss was Bald Bull from Mike Tyson's Punch Out

[@cannedjar]

Oof. What’s your team comp? Should be able to survive 1 charge.

[@Shinransa]

Their BS stat wall bosses have got to go, this is the damn main story and we have to min-max or lock the fuck in just to get through one boss. For one, it completely destroys any flow the story has because now you have to wait to clear one stage. And second, it just becomes frustrating to always deal with this with each chapter, then add to that having to avoid story spoilers until an official announcement does it for you like the recent Rapi: Red Hood event. I don't even wanna put effort into clearing this dogshit boss now cuz I know what's gonna happen. I can't even enjoy the story in peace because I just know I'll get a crumb of it and then get stuck for months on one stage, forget half of what was going on in the story and inevitably get spoiled when a new character or event releases. I am at my fucking limit, I just want to enjoy the story. Why don't they just leave the difficulty and stat requirements for Hard mode where it's supposed to hm i don't know, actually be difficult?! That way anyone can be caught up on the story by playing it. I feel like they're gonna lose old and new players by doing this because new players are gonna want to catch up and realize they can't while old players will get tired of not being able to progress despite spending an hour a day doing every daily, event and maxing out characters.

[@cannedjar]

I don’t think this will affect old players. Since old players that play consistently will have overpowered teams to clear the stage with ease. But yeah. Kinda annoying for the newer players. It’s why I decided to record the videos of the stories so others don’t have to wait or have it spoiled.

[@Shinransa]

@@cannedjar As a player that started around March 2023, I still struggled on some stat wall stages in the latest chapters. And honestly this cycle is starting to get old when I just want to play the story uninterrupted. I am pretty lucky because I have all the easy clear units but I still get stuck because either my gear rng sucks or the stage has particularly tough enemy combos. I finally beat Behemoth last night and it was through sheer luck and by ditching mobile for PC. I did exactly what I was doing before, hit the rock with bursts, take cover when needed and "try" to interrupt the last phase. Only difference was the game finally decided to give me Pilgrim Attacker boots after a FULL YEAR of not getting any so my Red Hood could finally be fully geared since she released and that got me through it which is stupid. But also I was more relieved that I didn't need to avoid spoilers anymore than I was beating the boss which is another reason for this system to change. It's great that you recorded the story for others but it also proves their system sucks if people will want to bypass playing the game's story themselves. This raises another concern I have. At some point this CP system might get even worse if nothing changes. Because CP is raised with gear stats, skills, dolls, bond, cubes, the outpost, levels and MLB/core if you whale but six of those option are capped to a certain extent. This leaves only levels and the outpost once you've maxed everything else, so if they keep raising the CP requirement progression will get even slower than it already is and even more boring because you'll only care about cores and body labels. This could genuinely kill player engagement if all it comes down to is just farming one main resource for very little progress.

What music is playing in the team setups guide?

[@cannedjar]

Shadows from Nier Collab. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbJZXZ7epV-rpY

[@CarlExtorm]

Can't clear this one without healer. I don't have naga 😢

[@cannedjar]

Rapinzel is a good alternative to Naga.

[@CarlExtorm]

@cannedjar yeah i have her fully build but i already cleared it, now i'm stuck in 34-38 since i lack damage due to deficit.

[@Seananigans220]

i swapped out Rouge for Liter and cleared it pretty easily after a few trial runs my rouge just didnt have enough investment

[@cannedjar]

Liter overall is better than Rouge. Rouge is more for Tetra tower.

[@Patrick-moonStar]

I finally beat this boss, third phase really sucks

[@puppeteerrz]

This break the red circles is pain in the butt. Currently at 460k with cinderella, crown, alice, red hood and liter 😭😭😭. Is it possible to kill it without going through phases if you're strong enough?

[@cannedjar]

If your team is strong enough, you can skip phases. In solo raid, my team clears it before it even reaches second phase. It’s still a clunky truck/train thing when the battle ends.

[@puppeteerrz]

@cannedjar I see, thank you sir 💪🏻

[@phillipjfry105]

My only problem with this boss is that it has too much HP, I tried many times until I was able to defeat him

[@cannedjar]

Sounds like your team is lacking DPS. Which is usually caused by a team with too big a CP deficit. Not much you can do except to wait and build up the team's CP more.

[@phillipjfry105]

@cannedjar I have more than the required cp but I'm level 320 (don't know if it affects anything) and I used in my final attempt Dorothy, Blanc, Noir, Red Hood and Cinderella

[@cannedjar]

@@phillipjfry105 Nikke level shouldn't matter. I mean, the higher the Nikke level, the higher the CP cos they have increased stats. So, ultimately it's the CP at play.

[@galdersrontgorrth]

@@phillipjfry105 i beat it at like lvl 311 or something with 467k cp (just over the recommended amount) and she melted before i even got to see that lightning attack (not sure if i saw the second to last set of red circles either). and using the bunnies is probably your issue. ideally would be naga, crown and liter for more dps. with such strong atk boosts even naga will be enough to break the lightning gated circles easily.

[@gehthoffentlich]

ah the dream of ever getting scarlet... your overall power score is quite deceptive due to low overload and skill investments - I can match your cinderella in individual power at level 285, but that is while having 600k less life and 11k less atk. I'm getting completely destroyed by the red lightning at team power 396k - even though its only 22k power less than your team.
