Abyss worm ch8...

[sovetsky]

Ugh, I know people have mentioned these parasites in other threads but I"m so annoyed with them felt like venting by making a thread dedicated to them. GOD THAT WAS OBNOXIOUS! Having to take each one down individually and half of my party not being at ful combat capacity due to story reasons. They weren't hard it was just an exercise in sheer tedium. That was probably the single part across both games where I was actively pissed off and not having fun at all.

tl;dr ♥♥♥♥ Abyss Worms

Congrats on getting through that fight. They can be obnoxious but when I found out that you can AT Delay them it made the fight more managable for me.

Out of curiosity, what level were you when you fought them?

[ZanyZombie]

I felt so good when I killed 7 of them in one turn using Zane's, Agate's and Joshua's s-crafts (Joshua and Agate had the wind accesory) along with some large range arts from Estelle and Joshua and Zane's TGK.

[That's ich!]

Tita + Wind Atk Amulet Thingy = win.

[GuppyForce]

I personally took them four at a time with Joshua spamming Evil Eye on the group. Still a horrible fight though.

[Walke_893]

Using Evil Eye Ex + Heaven's Kiss + Agate is great crowd control. With everyone equipped with the Cat set it becomes overkill.

You mean the only fight that you have to think how to kill stuff in normal mode.

Spear Jaeger, 1st Divine Penguin, 1st Gilbert, 1st Renne, Loewe, a few monster exterminations... (I believe there was a Grancel Sewer one)

That fight on Hard took 40 minutes.

It was crazy.

More like 40 Retries xD

You really need all your Characters on 200 on that fight.

My party was all around lvl75 at the time.

Granted, I wasn't thinking much at that point. It was late and I meant to just do one last extermination before calling it a night. I was too tired to actually think of a strategy at the time so I just brute forced it. Never thought about AT Delay since I was paranoid about hitting too many worms at once and they didn't seem to give a flying F**k about any other ailment.

It's funny I got lucky on Renne 1. *SPOILER SPOILER* Joshua had 200 CP and a crit panel came up almost immediately in the battle. I used Black Fang and one-shot all the annoying little Gorgon robots. I could definitely see that battle being an absolute nightmare if I didn't get that though.

Zane easily crush that annoying worm

[tristan799]

In normal, I managed to beat it by grouping up all the worms in a small enough space to hit them with Evil Eye repeatedly. If one missed, I just had Tita use her CP to heal us or cast La Teara, and Estelle and Zane would focus down one. Once they got low enough I just blew everyone's S-crafts to finish it off.

It's a hard fight mostly because you have to resist the urge to blow the S-crafts right away. Only the most grinded out and high-level, specially-designed character grouping can crush those guys with a burst of S-crafts right in the beginning, and if you have bad luck and miss once, you're gonna have a bad time.

[Naesaki]

I just abused Zane's thunder god kick when they all bunched up, everyone else was already dead but his True Distend makes him a monster, when the last one was left I started to revive everyone so they'd get the exp.
