Agency Test 3

[Aeralis]

WHOA, talk about a difficulty spike! The Copy is now blatantly dealing more damage than me with the same skills, and even taking less damage than me on top of that. Anyone got any tips for this fight? I'm having trouble coming up with a good build that can offset the Copy's advantage.

Do you have Crash() slotted as a passive? That could be why. You might also try using Void() to amplify your damage.

Personally i found Mask to be invaluable for getting a free hit without getting hit back, after performing a combo that leaves the opponent stunned (like adding Crash to your last attack), and slowing the opponent down with Purge or whatever it was also works nicely to get time to regenerate the turn. Sometimes that is enough to go for round 2 without having to use Mask, even.

Managed to get so many free hits with that combo i only lost one function during the fight, but i'm pleasantly suprised they decided to make this a neat extra challenge instead of having it only happen once in the story.
Oh, and if you kind of mash Turn at the start, before the Copy shows up, you should be able to get the first strike.

Every time you enter Turn() you should be procing the next "phase" of the fight.

This is easy with Void and Cull.

Then you should spend as much time as possible in stealth to "always" be the one attacking. This way I only got attacked once during that entire test, and lost something like 25% of my hp.

Mask(Ping(2)) = 7 sec CD on stealth.

You can take the agent out easily with backstab + mask + void+ cull/get, use jaunt to keep distance while recharging turn, then jaunt back to the agent chasing you and repeat.

I used the passive from Crash() as well as whichever one has the passive that gives the shield. My skills came from one of the guides where you use Mask(), Void() + Crash(), and Tap() + Load(). I added a couple extras to those like Purge() on Tap() just out of personal preference and wanting to maximize damage. I would basically Mask(), Void(), Turn(), 3x Tap() and transition phases each time.

Purge (Breach+Crush) - easy win w/o using turn. Just hold right button and spam this. It's homing stunning beams that will rapidly drain Copy's health. You just have to be outside the Turn activation range (and you'll be thx to the breach which upgrade not only speed of Pruge but range as well) and spam this non stop - you'll stunlock Copy and it will lose function after function and die. I was drinking tea while holding right button and literally doing nothing else. Piece of cake.

Difficulty spike? What? Use Crash, Tap(Void+Load)x2, Cull(Void+Load) from the back to instantly melt the copy. Then Mask while he is briefly stunned to rob him of his turn.

[memepeddlerguy12]

Void(Crash(),Load()) + Tap(Load(),Cull()) + Mask(Mask(),Ping())
Passive: Bounce(), Jaunt(), Void(), Crash()

It's an overkill (32 MEM), and most likely not optimized at all, but it's failsafe.
1. Get hit by her combo, Bounce Shield will protect you from most damage, Crash will mitigate the rest.
2. Void -> Void -> Tap, this should deal enough damage to OHK her
3. Mask as she's respawning
4. Void -> Void -> Tap
5. Take one for the team
6. Void -> Void -> Tap
7. Mask as she's respawning
8, Void -> Void -> Tap

Got it! Thanks for the tips everyone. :)

I ended up playing around with the copy. My loadout was something like this:

Void(Purge, Load)
Get(Crash)
Jaunt
Mask(Mask,Ping)

Passives: Bounce, Jaunt, Crash

I'd Void() x 3, Get, Jaunt, Get, Jaunt, Get, Jaunt.

The Get+Jaunt to have it re-get is a little tricky, but fun when it works. Jaunt kept me out of range, and Mask was always there if I needed it. It probably would've been a harder match had the copy had Jaunt as well, but I could literally go corner to corner and use Turn without ever getting attacked back.

Anyone know if the copy always uses the same skills? Or is it random?
