(Neo City) Oberon's Damage Reflection

Is it just me, or is the Neo City boss Oberon insanely hard to kill? She's killed me 3 times with damage reflection and I don't know how to get around it. The damage starts reflecting even before the icon shows up, and one hit while it's up will kill me. Anyone have any good tactics to avoid that?

Only attack her while she's in the middle of an attack animation. She can't cast it while attacking, so...yeah. It'll take a while that way, but it's the safest.

How much does her DR hit anyways?

If you have any DoT spells drop those ASAP, those don't get DRed. Still get reduced to 1 though IIRC.

check if the extraction lists any DR times, if not, try seeing every how often it casts it and use that

Do you know where I can find such an extraction? I couldn't find it in the latest one. Thanks!

I learnt this the hard way. Lost around 40%. In the end, the strategy was to literally hold off on attacking after every animation. She tends to guard up about 3~4 times, at each 25% of HP (or so I seemed to notice). Basically, be careful, and learn what the guard-up animation looks like.

The reflect animation is the one where she holds the sword up with the small circle of yellow around it, and only the long version with a sound effect.
Could also be some other buff I don't care about because it doesn't kill me, but better safe than sorry when the animation comes up.

I finished these quests and was not aware that she had damage reflect :f6:

Gee, I wonder why.... >_>
