The Corrupted Empress

The only way to SURVIVE would be to have a party of only shads and battle mages, all casting their damage null skills each one at a time,making the party almost untouchable.

This however would not defeat the empress, only allow you to survive.

It'd probably be harder to find high-leveled people of the right jobs willing to do it and organize the whole run than the boss run itself.

I know of very few groups in Bera which are organized enough to do something like that.

But that isn't enough, and there'd be the need of a specific strategy, to survive and kill the boss.

The potion cooldown is only the first of a series of difficulties which make the boss run nearly impossible.

Let's remember about the spells. I don't know which ones specifically, but I heard it casts DR, Zombify, the skill that makes your screen dark and you can only see your character, and several others.

Cyanne was great at elaborating strategies for bosses like those. I wonder if she'll ever make one for this.
