How to beat the SAO mission

[Hatsune Miku]

So im stuck fighting Kirito and Asuna since Asuna goes full god mode at the end and just kill you with a move you cannot dodge while she cannot be killed. Im not sure how one is ment to survive this fight in the end...

Kill Asuna first. It seems like it might not be possible at first glance as she keeps healing her self up, but if you keep the dps up you'll outdmg her healing. From my experience she won't do the god mode nuke whhile Kirito is still alive. Granted I've only beaten them twice.

I cant beat them even once i cant out damage Asuna's healing spam... This mission really is just too hard im not sure how to beat it.

I killed Kirito first and she did not use the god nuke after I downed her when she's at half. I just kept whaling on her and then she just died without using it.

I did beat it by killing Kirito first actually now and i just couldnt down Asuna first tbh.
Also having trouble playing melee characters in this game as so many attacks miss and wont really hit the target im trying to hit. Prefer playing ranged in the back and i think thats why im having trouble killing Asuna first too.

You think it's a cake walk. Even with Decrease Aggro L Shionne will always die even after getting revive, so its more of bug since Kisara has increase Aggro on her. You can't out duel Kirito as Melee. Lv 94 all weapons & sub quests done!

I have pretty strong Devil Arms weapons (2600~3800 range) and Asuna Mystic was a problem. Of course, we have to notice that defense in this game is pretty low so even if you do high damage, your survivability hasn't gone up beyond the fact that you're ending your opponent faster.

I only gave the challenge two attempts going for Kirito first and with the 2nd one I was trying to see if I could perfect dodge Asuna's Mystic art but this does not seem to be possible (0/3 AI players manage to dodge it is a tell). It is possible that downing her at the right moment could cause her to not execute it, but this fight is laced with invincibly conditions granted on Asuna that don't exist anywhere else in the game that it's super likely you'll blow Alphen's Boost Attack during one of them. I don't think as players, we're supposed to learn anything from this fight. It's just an amusing challenge where we're meant to see how pissed off Asuna gets if we wreck her dude, and how tough of a dude Kirito is to beat.

Yeah i feel like this as well and i didnt finish the main story before beating this finally. Using the ability to stay alive with barely any hp instead of dying from a fatal attack is what i used to save my ai teammates and then heal them all up after Asuna pulled her god mode. I couldnt find a better plan as i couldnt find enough damage in any way to get rid of Asuna before Kirito.

asuna mystic artes, no matter how you use it, you can't escape The easiest way to win a battle is to attack Kirito. until half of the blood is left Have him draw the blue rose sword, then change the target to attack asuna until death to prevent using mystic artes because if attacking Kirito dies before asuna will use mystic artes immediately when we have defeated asuna, then swarm Attacks Kirito until he dies. was able to win this battle without any difficulty

lvl 100 and yes its cake walk with devil arms. put both at half hp and then kill asuna. kirito is easy after that. dodge his ult then pummel him.

i killed it so easily with the devil arms i didnt even noticed they had anything special on them.
