Crashing is not a strategy. Everyone crashes, and if they don't that is there problem.
The errors in the spawn are errors and do not require strategy as I see it, being errors.
I'm not questioning what you guys know, because your group has done it. I congratulate you on that.
Any bosser would have found out what to do HP wise, assuming there were enough people in your world (Which in most cases there are).
I made this thread for the sole reason of our group being in Chaos. We don't really have as many people capable of taking on bosses like this, excluding trust as a factor.
I just wanted to make sure. I'm sure youtube would have answered some of these questions had I known that gMS Cygnus worked just like KMS.
But oh wait, it doesn't work just like kMS or TMS (As you mentioned). We had one glitch, as you mentioned, with the guards. I wanted to make sure there weren't any more.
It's a shame that there are. This has cleared some of them up, as was the intended purpose.
I'll look up some of these videos regardless, seeing as they can probably show me where the V2 instructors spawn at.
Thanks for the help. No sarcasm intended, honestly.
Oh and, no video would have been able to tell me that TMS glitches there cygnus (I'm assuming rushing to the wall is working or worked for them, cause that's all I saw).
I just assumed there were no guards, because obviously gMS and KMS can not do that.
Sorry if my other post came off a bit douche-y, just re-read it lol
People keep saying "DPSDPSDPS = strategy" but in reality, if you brought pure DPS to empress, you could not kill the 5 instructors. I believe there is strategy involved, EVEN THOUGH some problems are solved with high DPS.
Yes, there were errors in the spawn, and there was no way to get around that, but now spawns are fixed, and they DO require strategy.
HP wise? On runs that go smoothly, I do perfectly fine with 12k hp (0 deaths). If you want to tank everything, go ahead, get 50k HP
Cygnus still heals after you kill the instructors, that's the only glitch we know of.
TMS glitches cygnus by rushing it and not letting it summon - we can do that in GMS, but there's no point since the only reason cygnus is worth going to is for the instructor drops.
