Kouli's current estimated date: either tomorrow or the day after.

Those subevents are part of the spear quest are they not? I was under the impression that without Rita naming the blastias, there is no way to actually get the Brionac.

[Asamidori]

Only some of the naming events are related to Judy's spear. Some aren't.

[krisslanza]

Some subevents are just there for... Well, character development and things like that?

For example the infamous subevent of looking in Rita's dresser doesn't do anything other then have you spend every moment going: "What IS in that dresser!?"

Actually, thinking about it, I just realized the hardest one for me will be the 100 hit combo. I've never been that great at getting high combos. I know the highest I ever got in ToS was about 68. I think I may have passed 100 in ToL, but I'm not sure.

The highest combo on record I think was a maxed out 999999 or something like that.

But just equip Rita with a Risk Ring/Wonder symbol and OL spam Tidal Wave. I've gotten well over 2k combos with that, and many people get 4k+

Why do you need Risk Ring/Wonder Symbol? >.>
Wonder maybe but you just need about 8 enemies, Minimum Damage, OL3, and Tidal Wave.
Of course all allies set to Defend with Taunt equipped

Wonder Symbol stacks with Spell End, it makes chaining easier =P

Risky Ring for those who don't know about stacking 8 enemies, but not needed if you do it correctly.

If you're looking for an alternative to using Rita, I stumbled upon how to do it by accident last night while farming for star gems I was using Yuri, trying to stack as many green fatal chains.

Unfortunately, you're gonna need ALOT of high-end skills to pull off this stunt.


-> Combo Plus 2
-> Super Chain
-> Super Chain 4
-> Super Chain 5
-> Ability Plus
-> Hit Plus
-> O.L boost (Maybe)
-> High Tension
-> Hyper Tension
-> Ultimate Tension
-> Special


(This is as much as I could squeeze in with my limited amount of SP)


5/6 hits -> Shinning Fang -> Cerberus Strike -> Shinning Fang Drop -> Dragon Swarm -> Shinning Fang.


(I used Dragon Swarm because I needed the green fatal strike, but Shinning Dragon Swarm works)

Anyway, by the time you finish this set, High tension would have triggered the Overlimit Lv 1 effect, from here on just spam whatever move you like (Shinning Fang is my personal favorite). You would easily get to Hyper and Ultimate Tension. Once you triggered Ultimate Tension, do 1-2 more Dragon Swarm(s), then trigger the Burst Artes, and then trigger the Mystic Artes.


(Don't forget to spam 'B' while in Mystic Artes....)


In total, I did a 137 hit combo.

With better timing, better use of Artes, and more SP, you should be able to break even the 150 barrier.

Hope this helps


P.S - Interestingly, With super chain 1, 4 and 5, I think you might be able to loop Base -> Altered -> Arcane and back to the same Base Artes again. But by then High Tension would have triggered so it'll be pointless >.>

P.P.S - And watch you TP, at least until Overlimit Lv 3.

I managed to pull off a 189-hit combo completely by accident with Yuri, I actually had no idea how I did it at the time but looking at the post above I guess it was because the Tension skills activated (I actually had not read carefully what they did ). I just started pretty much spamming my artes with reckless abandon and that's what I ended up with, didn't even use a Burst or Mystic. My skill and arte setups were pretty much the same as the post above though, so yeah, I can also vouch that this definitely works.

Th-Thanks I call it, the "Shinning Tension" combo

Okay, that aside, anybody did the 100-man battle-royal with Estelle? Or for that matter, anyone knows Estelle's standard offence combo ?

I did the 100-man, it wasn't too hard, though I did run out of time against Gauche and Droite the first time. Just had to take better advantage of my OVL and Limit bottles.

It's best with Extra Combo I, II, and III. If you can afford the SP for it. Her best physical combo is:

2 normal hits > 3 Extra Combo hits > Marchen Waltz > Air Divide > Delight Roll

Or 2 normal hits > Marchen Waltz > Delight Roll

Marchen Waltz knocks the enemy down, Air Divide pulls them to you and Delight Roll stands them up. Great during OVL since you can do a Burst Arte and more or less guarantee to hit them.

You can sidestep and attack after any of the Extra hits, but keep in mind that it won't continue the combo if you do. The combo also resets between the normal and Extra hits, but of course, you gotta do the normal hits to get the Extra ones.

@frubam

Thanks ... What about spells like Holy Rain? I heard it's excellent at clearing the field. But because I've been using Yuri, a melee combo character, I'm not sure about Spell usage.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Ahhh one more thing, this has been on my mind for quite some time now; For skills like Strength/Defend/Resist/Evade/Vitality/Spirit/Combo Plus, is it worth stacking up the different levels or better to just use the highest level?

I'm at the stage where I have way too many great skills and not enough SP to go around

Yeah, Holy Rain is the best(and only) skill to use in the Colisieum, esp if you OVL and manage to get a few 'Lucky End's in. Her other spells are too pinpoint-ish w/slow startup times to hit medium-speed moving targets.

I know what you mean . I really don't use parameter-increasing skills of that nature(though I do use skills like Rita's Combat Force and Estelle's Defend Conversion). If you have some extra SP to burn, you can set the higher parameter skills(ex: Str/Def/Res 3,4) if you have them, but I don't think the lower ones would make too much of a difference unless you are at a higher level, like lv 60+ except for Vitality and Spirit. You might want to set those skills esp if you're using Rita's Combat Force(Vitality) or for Yuri(Spirit), since he has lots of arte usage.

Completed 100-man with Estelle As expected, I ran into problems with the Fire Elementals and the Unicorns, Gauche and Droite slowed my down ALOT as well but nothing a few dozen Air Divide can't handle Still, if it wasn't for Dark Avenger, she would be super slow to pull off any melee combos.


That aside, Mahou Shoujo Angelical Estellise ftw !


Next on my list is Karol... Talk about a challenge =_=

[krisslanza]

I wonder why people say Estelle's is hard due to the loli twins. I just pulverized everything since they couldn't break through her guard

That is one Youtube gameplay video I would like to see!

Not so much as hard but tedious due to her weak combo capability

I don't have the skills set up to allow her to spam Holy Rain non-stop yet

All you need is OL Boost and start out with level 4 OL perhaps...

Speaking of which, I'm about to attempt to Grade farm with Rita, I get the basic idea of Overlimit 3-4 and Tide Wave, but I'm clueless about the finer details- Like what are the vital skills and/or accessories she must have to pull of this stunt.

My main concern is whether I could regain the OL Bar fast enough, as well as the timing between spaming and going overlimit...

But I heard that if all goes well, we're talking about several hundreds of grade points, am I right?

1. Set Spell End (decreases the cooldown time after using a spell), Limiter (Increases overlimit time), and 1 damage. Set all your allies to do nothing, and put the battle difficulty as high as you can.
2. Get into a battle with lots of enemies, preferably an encounter link.
3. Activate overlimit level 1, spam Tidal Wave, just when the overlimit runs out activate it again. Any higher than level 1 is unnecessary.

If you have the Risky Ring (reduces TP cost to 1), equip that to her. This isn't essential, as I was still able to get about 700 grade in less than 10 minutes without running out of TP recovery items (just have your allies use them on you when you're short)
