God Eater Burst general discussion

Lol. You're not supposed to fight them. Avoid the Hannibal and Corrosive and just hit the Maidens as much as you can. I think Snare Traps might help. ._.

I got incapped by Corrosive like, 5 times. But that was because I was focusing on breaking its parts, and was fully relying on blocking (and Prepared) to keep me alive. I was literally fighting Corrosive with 1 HP at all times. :x

LOL WTH.

And yeah, I know. I threw Stun Grenades (had 8) and ran away whenever I saw two of them at once. I finished the mission already, I'm just wondering if it's even possible to kill them.

I fought Corrosive with near 75%+ at all times, I'm really careful about my HP because I don't like letting it drop below 65%, if it does, I start recovering it. I usually bring every type of recovery item that I can on me, to all missions. I don't get hit too much these days though, since I familiarized myself to some of their patterns. Right now, Corrosive is cake, after learning how to fight Caligula. Caligula is more annoying, because once he gets enraged, he flies up and starts charging that lightning ball, tackles you with it. Once he's done, he'll stand there for a slight second, and then swipes you really hard. So you better hold onto that block button, or know how to roll away properly. @_@ Took away near half of my HP with that one attack.

I can break Corrosive Hannibal's arm piece easily, I just sometimes can't seem to break the head + arm piece in a single mission. I've done that only once so far, I think.

On the first round (with Ren), I broke all parts.
On the second round (with Rindou), it died before I could break the scale. Rindou's too strong! D:

Yeah, if you bring Soma and Rindou together, you got yourself a powerhouse right there. Soma does Crush damage, while Rindow does Sunder. My main character uses a short-sword, so I'm usually doing Sunder + Pierce, etc. I usually bring Kanon with me (even if she keeps shooting me. . .) only because bringing her = better chance at getting rarer items. I use the disperse command to make her go away though.

Well, the JP wiki doesn't list Lucky as one of her skills so I wouldn't be so certain that she does. Still, the wiki does quote that bit of in-game text that says so, and states that it is plausible that Kanon might have the skill.

Holy pomegranate. "Lunar Ambassador" was hard as hell. Kinda.

Too used to fighting Tsukuyomi, dammit. Keep forgetting that the big-ass vertical laser spawns flares all around it as long as the Male half's still alive. =.=

Best way to practice would be to get used to both Nova's fighting style, then go for Tsukuyomi, because Tsu's style is basically the female Nova, but.. stronger (imo). The fact that it's not weak to Divine is a bad thing for me, because most of my bullets are Divine, and even my guns are mostly made for Freeze or Divine. Most of the weapons I can now craft can go past 5.60 or so in a certain attribute (ie: Freeze).

I hardly ever use Guns on Arda Nova/Tsukuyomi. Staying close helps in avoiding the giant sweeping particle beam (which usually OHKOs if it connects).

Anyways, I seriously need to get Step Master. I run out of Stamina too quickly trying to get behind the Male half. =.=

If I could somehow record myself playing, I'd show you how I'd avoid both of their attacks, but I do use my gun the most. Assuming you're fighting them with maximum health, OP, and stamina, as soon as they both drop down, throw a Stun Grenade and get a full-burst in. What I normally do is focus on the female (hop up, slash a couple of times in mid-air, hop again as you're decending -> slash a couple more times). Do this over and over, while getting Bursts. The male form isn't too bad, I ignore him most of the time. If you see him and the female form together, take caution. Just be careful. If he's holding her in his arm:

a) She's going to sit on there, and he's going to fire his cannon.
b) He's going to throw her across.

This is easy, just either duck beneath him if "a" happens, get a burst. If "b", dodge her as he's throwing her, and just change to gun form and shoot her really quick, dash towards her while switching back to sword, and get a couple hits in on her halo, etc. I find Novas really easy now, compared to Tsukuyomi. Did you do the mission with "2" Tsukuyomis? It was one after the next, it was really.. annoying. Seemed like forever.

Also, if the male form is levitating up and shooting those '3' balls of light at you, just spam your dash button and curve as you're getting away. Or you could always block if you have the stamina for it. Whenever the female form floats up and the screen turns pink, you can probably switch over to gun form and just aim -> shoot her. Literally free shots.

Besides that, it's basically what I do when I fight Novas.

Well...I try to kill the Male half before killing the Female half for more unbound rewards so...

Do you actually get more unbound rewards for doing that? Lol. I haven't really noticed anything, personally. I used to kill the male half first though.. Uhh, I just devour parts after killing the female form, since the male form dies anyways, right after that.

The male form seems to be impenetrable via bullets, from what I've seen. I created IOD bullets recently, they work wonders against Hannibal and Novas.

Yes you do. The Male half counts as a "breakable part"; you'll end up with 4 Unbound Rewards instead of 3 if you kill the Male half first.

The Male half is impregnable (regardless of what you use) unless it's attacking/moving.

What. The. Hell.

Just cleared "Ones Who Devour the End" with 6 incaps.

*Breaks Tsukuyomi's Halo*

Alright. Everything is under control. Let's just hope the second spawns only when the first di-

*Second Tsukuyomi spawns*

OH SH-

(30 seconds later...)

*First Tsukuyomi swings arms wildly*
*Second Tsukuyomi fires the Sweeping Particle Beam*
*Gets incapped*

FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

Ugh. Definitely NOT a mission I want to re-do.

Caligula Defeated!
Mission "Blue Blade Dance" Cleared!

Unbound:
Right Arm
Left Arm
Head
Booster

Time Taken: 07:39
Rank: AA

Forgot all the other info. I got incapped around...4/5 times I think? Anyways, it took me a little while to figure out his attack patterns. Strangely enough, he tends to chain different attacks together so it's a rather good idea to keep on blocking regardless. As with Hannibal, leave his Booster (Scale in Hannibal's case) till last or he'll bombard you with some kind of Hadoken + Boost Slash (uses the Boosters to float and thrust himself forward for a powerful slash) attack...

Venus Defeated!
Mission "Beauty's End" Cleared!

Unbound:
Rear Jelly
Right Jelly
Left Jelly
Back Jelly

Time Taken: 14:16
Successful Devours: 8
A-Bullets Passed: 0
A-Bullets Received: 27
Condensed Attacks: 0
Successful Link-Aids: 2
Incapacitated: 4
Rank: B

Hmm. Venus was more of annoying, rather than hard. STOP BULLDOZING YA BIATCH!!!!

Remember that Venus is a special Aragami; breaking parts prevents her from using certain attacks! Break the Rear Jelly (under her tail) first to make her unable to fire off water balls. The Back Jelly's tough to reach (HDH bullets can't hit it for some reason), so go for the Right/Left Jellies next, switching to the Back Jelly whenever she collapses. Once you break them all, she can only...

1. Smack you with her front legs.
2. Ram into you while moving forward and back.
3. Bulldoze you to hell (frequency increases with the battle's duration...)
4. Fire a ball of Jelly (she stops doing this once she's low on HP)
5. Copy Corrosive's Blackfire Circle (she stops doing this once she's low on HP)
6. Summon 6 Blackfire Circles (she starts doing this once she's low on HP)

Anyways, item usage against Venus:

Stun Grenade x7
Restore Pill x2
Restore Pill II x4
Snare Trap x1 (It didn't work though...)

Team Members:
Sakuya
Soma
Alisa

Oh yeah. Caligula's weak to Spark, while Venus is weak to Blaze. Divine is also effective on Venus, but to a lesser extent.

"Ones Who Devour the End" was harder. Curse the double Tsukuyomi fight. =.=

ahahahaha yeah, Tsukuyomi's a b`itch, especially if there's 2 of them. ^____^;;;; Also, I'm surprised you took down Venus using so little potions, because I didn't know what I was doing against her. At all. >_>

Hurrah. Finally crafted my Defense Kit (provides resistance against all status ailments); the pineappleing Scorched Ambrosia took forever to drop (and even then, I only got it from Bonus and not Unbound).

What should I work on next...? Fiery Knife? Having to kill Fallen Arda Novas is...ugh...

p.s. I LOL'ed at the Challenge mission named "Backstabber". You're forced to form a 2-person team with Kanon. :x

YES! FINALLY GOT 5 ROYAL ICE ARMORS. ARGH. Took forever to get them all. =.=

What should I work on next, I wonder? Perhaps I should work on upgrading my Serpent Dagger N to a Phantom Dagger...getting an Yin-Yang Ambrosia for my Immunity Buckler+ would be too darn annoying...

Anyhow, 15 more Challenge Story Missions to go.

I stopped at the Challenge Mission with "Dyaus Pita". He's at Aegis Island, and you have to solo him. I couldn't even hit him when he's in normal form, let alone rage mode. I had mostly divine gear equipments (offense and defense, so that could have been why, eh). I'll try bringing a shield for Spark, if I ever stop being so lazy and craft it.

Going to try using a Divine long-sword this time around too, since the Yang short-sword really isn't helping me much against Pita. >_> . . . .

So you had no trouble fighting him solo on "New Moon in the Welkin"?

Was that one required to be solo? If it wasn't a challenge quest, and it isn't a solo mission, I probably went for it with 3 AIs. Thing is, fighting him on Aegis is hard. Since you have nothing to help you shield or run away, so you can't use terrain to your advantage. It's completely flat, and the map literally surrounds you. Thing about Dyaus is that he jumps and attacks fast, AND HARD. Vajra moves a lot slower, and I can kill a Vajra easily now. Even a Mata isn't that bad, as long as you aim for the hind-legs. Where as Pita, I have to aim for the head or front legs most of the time. That's how he gets me..

That and whenever he goes on 'rage' mode, his body literally has a resistance to everything. I can't penetrate his thick armor at all. On Aegis, I felt as if I was in a huge disadvantage. I'll try seeing if I can finish that quest, but I stopped after the 1st time, since I never had a battle that was that hard.

"New Moon in the Welkin" is a challenge mission that you MUST complete alone. It goes like this: You start off facing a Dyaus Pita in the church section of City of Mercy with a Prithvi Mata wandering around outside somewhere. At the 2, 5, 10 and 20 minute marks, another Prithvi Mata will spawn somewhere (for a grand total of 1 Dyaus Pita and 5 Prithvi Matas). In other words, you get more and more pineappleed as the mission drags on.
