[Blue Archive] How to prepare Goz

[@BoredkidzProduction]

i have terrible eyesight and that small dot will be the end of me.

[@barrSH1309]

If they are near the front the units will attack the real one if it’s either left or right, except for middle

[@absolution9957]

Then I suggest you looking for red cards

[@HellBorn99]

It's patched in JP so don't count too much on it being unpatched in Global

[@arthorias06]

​@@Steven_1773that's so mean

[@arthorias06]

Also TS student always spawns on the opposite side of real Goz as I've heard

[@pskeifk]

Wakamo's flower can be used to spot the real Goz. If you manage to stick her flower before Goz summons his clones, the flower will follow the real Goz. If you can't see the flower when Goz and the clones appear, it means the real Goz is on the left, otherwise, the flower will appear on one of the other two.

[@Flaris]

Spotting the real thing is going to make me reset a few times. My eyeballs will fail me at times I’m sure.

[@maxvitor7023]

Those little details to find the real one look scary... His theme sounds really good tho. It has that mischievous feel I usually like a lot.

[@xynester]

It really gets me every time phase 2 literally boils down to see for a tiny tell like red cards or freakin black dot

[@M4st3r507]

I prefer the black dot than the red cards, it’s easier to spot a single dot than a pair of red cards on 2 random places

[@eatsomeice179]

Thanks for the guide. I have a better way (I think) to spot the real Goz on Phase 2. It's almost impossible to spot the Black dot on Mobile device, especialy Mobile Device with small display screen. So instead, just watch the health bar and students firing line (I don't know what to call it, but watch the flying ammo). Students often attack the middle and right Goz first, so if the health bar doesn't reduce when they attack both Goz, Focus on the Left Goz because that's the real one. If the health bar reduce, check which student shooting which Goz that reduce the health and focus on that one. (Sorree four bed Engrelsk)

[@TubeofDestiny]

Thanks for the tips! ps: visible flying ammo are called "tracer" rounds

[@Mitwad]

Oh man, I sure love RNG in my games. There's nothing better than having to reset the fight because you were unlucky the boss the didn't move a certain direction.

[@kironojr]

Me not having focus fire student and good mystic dealer: I guess i'll die

[@tana1464]

You will get a giveaway T.Hasumi, and she’s great

[@Persesemi]

You can also max out T.Hasumi cause of the web event. They're so generous.

[@kironojr]

@@Persesemi yeah I only missing out the "focus fire" student at this point kek

[@dreadchris290]

aah another helpful guide😊. Thank you for your fellow info and guidance fellow sensei. Also gl to all who will be rolling this banner!!!

[@theSato]

thanks, Dread Chris, lets hope I get yuuka before 200 so I can spark Mari

[@zalix5626]

"How to prepare GOZ" We cooking him or something?

[@mightystellwan1974]

Well, didn't regret to spark s.izuna though That "focuses atk" Really helpful especially for us that *BUTA MAP* 🗿👍

[@GoodOneLULE]

Kerja bagus, Izuna. 👍

[@xeroxcopy8183]

NINPO! PREGNANCY! THE ART OF TRIPLETS!

[@giwtwm]

lmao

[@Not_MissHina]

The one thing that kinda pissed me, is that in phase 2, the students will focus to the right and middle, which is hard for my summer izuna to target to the left side So target positioning is stupidly recommended, therefore, pull Track Yuuka

[@pkkl9067]

Goz be like: For my next trick i will make Wakamo disappear.

[@kuro8151]

the main reason why i cant beat goz lol

[@corpse.k3074]

[@gabrielleurielle8869]

How to prepare for Goz? Get a sharingan... Get speedforce... Get Precognition... Get gaming phone with a good screen refresh rate 😂😂😂

[@Doug_R1]

Man I'm screwed lmao. I don't have most of the reccomended students. But thank you for the guide. I'll do my best with who I have

[@CPisforCutiePie]

Very nice timing from yt rec🙏

[@nuke2099]

Interestingly on Global no or barely any Yuuka is being used even on extreme or higher. People are one teaming it without her and going with Shizuko swimsuit instead.

[@ajabacan1886]

s.eimi might be alternative choice for me then. im not a new player anymore. i already played long enough. 2 weeks to be exact

[@davidgusquiloor2665]

I'm glad i have S.Izuna but i'm still not sure i can go beyond hardcore in this raid. Also my eyesight is terrible so second phase is a nightmare

[@reignradiant2432]

Thanks for the guide, am probably won't be able to clear very hard difficulty easily, since my strongest mystic is Aris then Mimori, then Chise and Hinata, lastly S.Shizuko still 1 star I started playing around when I didn't know S.Hoshino was a must get on the rate up, so rip luck and chance

[@0133BlackMage]

Not sure if you can use Mimori's Ex to dodge train or set focus on a right clone, but you can try doing so and having 2 teams with repositioning abilities (well, I'm just using Yuuka, so I don't know about details and alt strats much, maybe you can even simply use Kotori for this) As for borrowing a student - you prolly ideally want to borrow S.Izuna for second phase, as you don't have Focus Fire... but to be honest, for this difficulty assistance students do most of the job anyways, so maybe you can simply borrow maxed S.Azusa, keep her alive and just kill Goz with her Ex ? Well, you can always try things out with mock battle ig, gl

[@0133BlackMage]

By the way, now we all have a maxed T.Hasumi, don't forget to claim her, she's your best blue dealer now))

[@reignradiant2432]

​@@0133BlackMage I never knew Kotori has one, the one that I borrow from support is T.Yuuka, the only one that can force everyone to go with her plus shield. For focus fire, I need to be quick enough to find out which one is a real Goz, so not only I move them, I also need to get Aris to point the cannon at it to hit hard. 1st squad, Aris, Mimori, T.Yuuka, Chise, Hibiki and Kotama 2nd squad is a just in case when running out of time from the first squad, Cherino, Hasumi, Junko, Maki, and onsen Nodoka, onsen Cherino. Might use T.Hasumi, since mystic deals more dmg, that's probably good even at lv1 I think. Good luck, have fun as well

[@shiwakao]

don't bother using visual cues in phase 2. put on a pair of headphones n listen to if the audio cue is panned left, right, or center.

[@jasonbrotherton]

I didn't have the team for peroro insane, but I think I can do goz once I get yuuka

[@0133BlackMage]

Tbh for peroro you only need a maxed Iroha to borrow, and Natsu/Mari to survive, I'm surprised that I claim top 10k on peroro for the second time already, the strategy is way too easy

[@TubeofDestiny]

*Protip:* select an EX skill just as the Goz clones show up. It slows down time and let you see who's got the red cards. The real Goz only got black cards, so reds = clones. Secondary Tips: - Shield is absolutely necessary on Hardcore/Extreme difficulty, it's infinitely better than healing, the damage reduction is huge - for group Shielding, if you haven't pulled Yuuka (tracks), there's still: 1) Shizuko (swimsuit): 30 seconds shield + repositioning👌 2) Kaede: 16 seconds shield but no repositioning (good enough for a 2nd team on Extreme, will be tight timing but doable) 3) Kotori: 13 second shield only, takes a Striker slot and does Heavy dmg type, but got repositioning I guess - Izuna (swimsuit) got Focus Fire, but oh boi is she difficult to keep alive if she's the sole Striker student on the Front position. It's doable on Extreme, but requires really tight timing of the shielding. Note that her EX does not let her evade attacks: when she's airborne, attacks on the ground level will land normally. - Noa got Focus Fire as well, and is a Middle position student, but... her EX cost 3 instead of 2 (Izuna swimsuit), does DEF reduction but Goz got no DEF to begin with, and is incredibly weak endurance-wise: if she's not shielded once, on Extreme at level 75-80, she can easily be one-shot. - Phase 2 on Extreme (and below with the corresponding levels/upgrades) does not need as much as repositioning as Phase 1, since you can count on Luck to not get hit by the hats or circles of light.

[@ThisJWord]

The students that I dont have: NYMSGK, SAzusa, and SHoshino as for non limited, I have no concern except that i dont owned BAkane Now I need those replacements for those students that I have listed

[@iloverice6784]

I forgot some things and thought you could focus fire on the boss before the 2nd phase starts lol took me a while and rechecked the video again but it was only after the hat thing lmao

[@0133BlackMage]

Well, why would you need focus fire before second phase?

[@L0st_Sensei]

Welp, so much for ideal setups. Literally missed all those rate ups and limited pulls

[@theSato]

the music on this one slaps

[@Elven_Red]

100kg thicc thighs nuked all my xp reports...

[@Myztll]

Can we use S.Shizuko for reposition instead of T.Yuuka

[@farhangp2552]

Yes you can

[@XIVIX_Voice]

Great guide! I'd have been completely lost without it, but thanks to you I can easily tackle Extreme.

[@andresramirez4924]

Me, without a lot of activity reports and seeing that I'd need to level up from scratch Yuuka and Hasumi and having to finish leveling up Wakamo and Izuna 😢

[@chaldea_]

Thanks for this guide!

[@CJ-wh7ik]

Dude I'm color blind. Those cards are identical

[@JohnPeacekeeper]

And here I just went for Yuuka because of dem great 100kg Thighs

[@EldobelU]

I use Momoi since her skill able to deal random damage. To bad her poison skill did not work

[@LenixDraws]

Since I'm a new player (still at 54) and didn't have good mystic dps, I'll just give up

[@XYRON_]

İs Yuuka 3 stars enough for goz extreme ? Or should i rise up her stars ?

I did not read his passive that why my healer wasn’t working

[@heroduy4747]

Can I replace someone with S.izuna on phase 1? I think I need to borrow NY.muts for phase 1

[@ningensan8198]

Sizuna is not necessary for phase 1 unless you are planning to one team kill the boss so you can replace her easily. Her main use is the focus fire for the second phase

[@heroduy4747]

@@ningensan8198 so who can I replace her on phase 1? I wanna play team like valiant to clear ins

Omg why is it always speacial I haven’t played along time I don’t have good blue striker on going yo explode . My clan members when I ask them to put maxed out mystic good student they don’t reply 😭 😭 😭

[@Joboku]

Also which student have focus fire

[@nevolence]

@@Joboku In global only S.Izuna and Noa, Cherino also has one but hers is hard to control. Sakurako will also have one but she's approx. 100+ days away.

[@Joboku]

@@nevolence I have none :(

[@nevolence]

Also they're gonna give out T. Hasumi (unless things change for global) which is apparently the best single target mystic dps in the game. You can pair her with an AoE mystic dps, Chise can work. Try to pull T. Yuuka then borrow either an S. Izuna or Noa and you're good. Edit: If T. Yuuka won't come home (or you don't want to pull for her, which is perfectly fine) then Kotori or Fuuka could work. Best of luck!

[@Joboku]

@@nevolence I can use the free swim suit girl that move the units. I have b Karin for area ima build the free character . Thanks for the advice appreciate it

[@Ganyuuxshu]

the fact that i can only do normal difficulty makes me think that i have skill issue i dont have noa and yuuka gym or alternative units that can be good on goz :( (trying to get yuuka(gym) but the gacha rng hates me even noa last month :(((( )

Level?

[@amazing_nature-n9b]

thanks for the guide

[@farkir1]

Gooooddddd....what a troublesome boss...i don't have a lot of good student to fight him and my eyesight is a meh...😅😢

[@Persesemi]

How in the hell are we supposed to freaking see if each of the damn cat has a red card?! What the hell are they thinking?!!! My damn blue stacks is running in 140fps and I can not see the cards of each cat in the short 1 second animation. "iTs EaSy"... Moreover, seeing a damn tiny dot. I will need freaking 3 eyes, independently looking at a cat.

[@ningensan8198]

I just tried the boss and its certainly possible to see the cards ( the dot is just too hard) just select an EX skill without using it time will slow down and it will be easy to spot the really goz based on red cards

[@Persesemi]

@@ningensan8198 Thats actually smart. I forgot about the slow down from picking a skill. I guess you can also put the speed to x1 while choosing a skill would work. Thanks for this!

[@soiyavnz]

Crap, feels like better to play on an emu for the second phase.

[@matraser3201]

Why is azusa swimsuit better than wakamo for this? They seem pretty similar but maybe i missed something

[@ningensan8198]

They are both used in this raid. I guess valiant said that because wakamo requires having another strong dps to make good use of her EX while someone like Sazusa can do damage on her own and since her EX doesn't rely on critical rate it makes her appealing

[@UOHCUNY]

Im lvl 45 and can't clear the very hard stage with a borrowed lvl 83 iroha. I don't have a t yuuka so I'm using a kotomi but she isn't enough

[@ningensan8198]

Iroha is not that good here. Borrow a maxed dps like T.Hasumi or S.Azusa

[@UOHCUNY]

@@ningensan8198 thanks for the advice

[@RedArchive1]

Nice Valiant

[@gaoo5855]

Imma stick with extreme I guess

[@zachmercer1065]

How do you apply focused fire? Is that tied to a student’s ability or is that something you can just generally do?

[@plotius]

Yea focus fire is parts of student ex skill, Izuna S, Noa, Sakurako can apply focus target

[@Advisor17]

Is it possible to 1-team Goz on Extreme without S. Izuna? I have a fully-maxed T. Hasumi/S. Azusa/Wakamo/T. Yuuka/Ako/Iroha team and I have no problem finding the real Goz but it's impossible to kill it within time limit.

[@0133BlackMage]

You can move your students with T.Yuuka, so they'll focus real Goz, as they're standing right before him (it works if he spawns on the right side at least for sure) Tho without Izuna it's a pain and maybe not even possible, dunno, I'm still not clearing extreme myself, it feels like I need NY.Mutsuki to clear, as Chise just can't do well enough against those swarms... Maybe I should try summoning Iroha even? she'll die cos of train prolly tho

[@ningensan8198]

Just borrow her

To be honest, Goz doesn't seem like a complicated boss at all for me, if you have T.Yuuka and S.Izuna - everything is pretty straightforward and doesn't require precision for the most part, unless you're trying to guess the real one in phase two, by spotting a dot/card on a small phone screen, or trying to clear insane...
