exactly how does pink bean work?

MMBryan(Brian?) told me the DR timing, so I've got that down.

in what order do I kill the statues?
does the Ariel statue DR?
does PB start DR'ing at a certain point, like Mihail at Empress?

He doesn't work. He sits on the chair all day expecting the statues to wait on him.

that wasn't my question.

Well, if you number the statues like so:
1 - Left Wiseman
2 - Left Bird
3 - Ariel
4 - Right Bird
5 - Right Wiseman

Phase 1 - 1 (Starting on the left)
Phase 2 - 1 then 5 (Starting on the left, end on the right)
Phase 3 - 5, then 1 and 2 (you can hit both with ultimate drive, just start behind the yellow orb, and inch a bit closer until the hawk is in range and stop) (Start on the right, end on the left)
Phase 4 - 1 and 2, then 4 and 5 (You can do 4 and 5 the same way you do 1 and 2) (Start on the left, end on the right)
Phase 5 - 4 and 5, 1 and 2, then 3 (Start on the left, end Ariel at the top, PB is summoned at this point)

Remember not to overstep the boundary, the inner edge of the wiseman statue pedestals, or else you trigger the bird's DR (left) and Seduce (right).

Ariel doesn't DR

PB will DR at 90%, which is approximately 2.4 buff icons (as in, the HP has dropped by about 2.4 buff icons) on 800x600 resolution.

I usually crash and then steal DR when crash isn't available, then alternate, but that probably won't work as well considering the nerfs.

Here is the order I personally kill the statues in. This can vary from class to class, but if you are a phantom I think what you can do is mille the wiseman statues and rapid fire the bird statues from behind the orb (I haven't played a phantom so yeah, could be wrong)

Also a phantom guy I was getting a pink bean card for would rotate between using magic crash and "stealing?" damage reflect so there was pretty much only a couple seconds where there would be DR (but for real i have no idea about those)

 Spoiler

phase 1:

Kill wiseman

phase 2:

Kill wiseman 1
Kill wiseman 2

phase 3:

Kill wiseman 1
Kill bird 1
Kill wiseman 2

phase 4:

Wiseman 2
Bird 2
Wiseman 1
Bird 1

Phase 5:

Wsiseman 1
bird 1
wiseman 2
bird 2
ariel

"does PB start DR'ing at a certain point"

90% of health, I believe that is between the 5th and 6th buff (I forget though) on your buff bar (Put your mouse between the two and wait for the HP to drop down to that point

Also you can attack while it's in process of another animation. It can't cast DR while it's casting another animation.

It damage reflects after certain intervals of time. If you watch a PB tutorial video you will understand better.
It starts casting damage reflect around when its hp drops to your 5th buff. and you just watch time to know when damage reflect goes off and when to crash. I forget the timing myself but I would just look it up on youtube or something.

Don't go by animation. gotta watch the timer.

Information about the entire fight. This does not change between classes.

Since the TS plays KMS they got the nerfed version of Phantoms, so they can't rotate easily between crash and stealing DR.

Using mille on 2 statues works just fine, and then you can use rapid fire to finish off the bird statues since they always die last. Also, IamFear's routine works better for timing efficiency, why move when you can just sit there and wait for next to spawn and kill it off to move to next section?

Ahhh. Gotcha

alright, got it down.
thanks

well, when i do PB, i prefer to start this way:

round one: left
round two: left
round three: right
round four: right
round five: right

that way i'm always killing the seduce statue before crossing, preventing myself from getting seduced when switching sides.

one last question; what channel is PB?

one last question; what channel is PB?

11

11

thank you, gonna attempt killing it now, though I don't see a reason why I couldn't.

oh my god -_-

after chaos PB was introduced, channels were moved.

normal is in 14, chaos in 15.

pineapple, now I can't go until tomorrow >

one last question; what channel is PB?

Make sure you're in channel 11 BEFORE you enter from the map where Lyka is. If you change channels (or enter cash shop too I think) inside, you're kicked out and have to wait 24 hours.

Learned this the hard way.

Actually it's

Lyka --> Map #1 --> Map #2 --> Map #3 with the exped npc --> Pink bean map

Once you enter map #2 you lose your marble and can no longer CC.

This was changed; you can CC (or relog - forgot which one I did) in the map before the NPC.

Something no one has mentioned yet is to keep the Bean pinned so it's facing right. When it's facing left it can Stun and Seduce.
Should be obvious from the videos, but in case you didn't know.

Lol. Basil.

1) He damage reflects the first time on the line between the 6th and 7th buff icon. Not 5th, not 6th.
2) Going by the timer is literally the worst way to go about it. If you get distracted for one second you will die. Follow his attacks, react accordingly. That's all there is to it.

You can just CC before the entrance. No need to log and lose your buffs.

When it faces right it 1/1's. We prefer to keep it facing left because people kept dying from that
