McBurn fight

[Riku]

So I just finished the McBurn fight for the 2nd time, since I'm doing my NG+ Nightmare playthrough, and it was still one of if not the easiest fights in the game. It may have took me two tries, but that's only because unlike when i did my first playthrough on Normal, he was able to use his S-Craft this time on the first attempt, but on my second attempt, I didn't let him. It also only took me one attempt my first playthrough. I still don't get how people consider his fight to be one of the hardest. For me, the hardest boss battles are Loa Luciferia and the Magic Knight Isra-Zamiel. (The Loa Luciferia fight took me about 5 or 6 retries, where as the Magic Knight Isra-Zamiel took me about 15 or so retries, and I had to use the shinning pom bait dlc just to level up to be able to beat it.)

Generally speaking, difficulty of a fight depends on two factors; The experience of the player with the Trails battle system and whether a player uses optimized gear setups. McBurn is actually quite a tough boss fight when you don't use things that break the game. Otherwise he becomes easy because the battle system in CS highly favours the player.

The fights that generally give players most difficulty are ones where either things are taken away from you thus lacking in options to exploit or the boss throws something unexpected at you.

In the to each his own you know. Some people might have more tourble with Mcburn and some might have with some other boss.

For example in sky games I have always found the fights with multiple enemies to be harder than a single tough enemy. (except loewe in SC , he is hard no matter what :D).
When its against multiple enemies your earth wall protection goes away like nothing else but when its against a singe enemy even if the boss has multi hit attacks , you can most likely get your protection up no problem.

But in CS games I ironicly find boss fights with multiple enemies easier since you have more multi-hit-nuke attacks.
Not only that but single boss fights usually have a nuke attack and it might be just me but I don't use earth wall in CS games for some reason.

With that said obviously it is MUCH easier to break CS games especially the second one. I mean fie literally one a lot of the fights just by herself since she can't be damaged :D.

McBurn's S craft is definitely the only thing making him difficult to fight if you're not prepared for it. He also has a bunch of health, giving him more oppurtunities to perform his S Craft. But again, if you have some good builds he shouldn't be much of an issue.

True story, If you are unprepared for this battle they can K.O you very easily.

I didn't have much problems dealing with McBurn, but it is only my opinion. Everybody have different strategies and default party. To survive his S-Craft you can use characters like Alisa or Machias or Fie.

I no have much problem with the Magic Knight Isra-Zamiel, maybe for my team is rare:
Rean-> DPS,Buffer, Delay, impede.
Fie-> DPS, Acurracy (300/400), evade (85-100%).
Elliot-> Arts Mage, buffer/healer, balance.
Sara-> DPS, provoque status, autohealer for hit, half-tank, some porwerfull arts,impede.

Support team (2 extra):
Emma: Mage,CP Buff, reflect magic.
other: sometimes Laura/Gaius (DPS/Tank) or Machias/Jusis (Counter-Tanks/buffer-support)

Magic Knight Isra-Zamiel have much damange but if you have tactic and good equip no is a big problem, McBurn is some identical.

and...yes, normarly I no have tanks in main team but ¿really is neccesary? I said, I survive for now xD

so far I haven't run into any problems be it boss or multiple enemies, or multiple enemies plus boss and I rarely use things that delays, impede or buffs and I'm playing on Hard. I am in this playthrough intentionally making things as difficult as possible on hard and it makes it even more enjoyable, like refuse to use things like items, quartz/arts etc

the party I usually use is Fie, Rean, Sarah and Emma
