Description
Couple days ago I beat Altruia after lots and lots of attempts and wanted to give some pointers for people that also want to do it on a somewhat high deficit. a) The units in this team are almost non-negotiable, everyone under 'clear info' was using this or a very close variation of this. Rapi is unmatched at clearing the crystals, you want to constantly be bursting so Anis Star is a must. SWHA brings her damage taken debuff and solid neutral element dps and Crown and Maid Mast just hyperbuff everyone. Rapi and SWHA have pretty built overload lines. SR15 dolls, max skills and at least standard OL gear on everyone. b) You have to iframe dodge every single salvo of balls to make it. The aoe will kill you without cover and even trying to outheal that with Helm will not work most of the time and if it does, you don't do enough damage to beat the timer (maybe unless your THelm is cracked and has good OL lines). c) Try to maximize damage. Aim at the inactive crystals (I chose the one at 5 pm if you want to visualize it as a clock) to do increased damage (blue crosshair). Every third burst should be Maid Mast. How to do it: 1. The first two sets of balls coming your way are the hardest to dodge imo. The only way I found was working for me was to pause tech the first set of balls, identify which Nikke is being targeted, then resume gameplay, instantly switching to said Nikke and solo-covering. If that worked without damaging her cover, you can just all cover the second set and you should be set for a good run. 2. Needless to say you have to destroy all crystals everytime, we cannot lose any damage. Rapi's burst should take care of it. 3. At least some left over burst helps clearing the qte, burst manually if time is running low. 4. Deactivate auto-burst when the boss shields himself and get ready to dodge. I select SWHA, hold her full charge until the very moment the balls release towards me, then I hit all cover. Do that 5-6 times, then instantly resume bursting and getting ready to all cover the aoe. After the aoe, just built up full burst again in 2 seconds and clear the crystals, rinse and repeat. 5. Since even with no cover damage you cannot live a third boss aoe, you need to kill the boss before that (or time runs out). Many thanks to Chump77 who helped me figure this one out. He managed to clear it with even higher deficit, take a look at his run here: https://youtu.be/s2MIsGjJ_Z0?si=1xEZZ0gAuJ1LV4fK Now I'm stuck at Egovista already, just need to farm rocks to overload Anis properly. Hope this helps some of you guys!
