Lucilius fight a big disappointment

[Kriss Hietala]

This fight is even more annoying than Proto bahamut... Maybe devs only play as a Rackam for playtests? And level 200 when we can only go to 100...This literally unplayable. Worst patch ever.

My problem is I have neither a good charge attack character or ranged, I can try to run to another map my teamates aren't near and see if that works, still cannot get past the circle phase either, though I got close going for the furthest circle, I was down to the last batch when I ran out of time, I just think this fight is too overtuned, they just need to add a little extra time for the 12 labors and the fight will be ok, I know at some point we will be able to just pop into online and be carried, but I really do not like being carried.

This is a highly difficult end-game content. The proto Bahamut, which is harmless to everyone, is still there waiting for you to farm.

I have 2 maxed terminus weapons, I should not have to field a whole team with them, this is not WoW. every one on my team has over 18k power level.

Not to sound rude little 5 as you have been one of the few to post helpful comments, so thank you for those.

Let me act surprised when people who afk farmed their ass off will complain that the new boss isn't all that hard.

Besides my problem really isn't damage or getting 1 shotted, it is just getting those 12 labors over with without losing my max health to next to nothing.

Some say they afk farm Lucilius. I call that ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It's an excuse for using fling or CE. "I just afk farmed the sigils". yeah sure, with a little help :D

That power level is just a reference, only based on chara's atk and HP. There is still a huge difference in performance between the 20k and 22k power levels. For example, the dps gap may be as high as four or five times. The inability to clean feathers may also be due to dps effects.

Oh I understand that, I am just pointing out, it is not like I left my other 2 characters in the mud, I have uplift, link attack, auto-revive on them(in other words, sigils I felt would increase their usefulness and survivability ETC. I am certain they are damaged capped for their current weapon. I was able to get through all the other content with little issues. I did both Bahamuts online inititally to get passed the DPS hurdles, but have since soloed them with little issues. have most fights S++ ranked, I just think the near sheer uselessness of the AI on this fight is just too much of a hurdle to overcome and I am a tad salty over it.

Well, random players might just behave worse, like lying on the ground being pushed around by purple balls after Paradise Lost. At least I won’t try to match Lucifer’s Battle again until I don’t need to be rescued by my AI teammates. They are much better than me in terms of survivability.

[Ren O'the Blade]

You may be right about the feathers and the swords, but I still stand by my initial complaint of I should not have to farm 10 to 20 hours to get terminus weapons on the characters I want and max them, when I already have 2 maxed. Not saying you are wrong it may be necessary, just that is a pretty large insult to my time is all.

There are various times I cleared with 1HP, but I have both Guts and auto-revive lv16. It's doable with improved dodge but that depends how much HP Lucillius has. Since this fight is around 9-10min with AI, I instant retry when:
Lucillius HP is 50% but my red meter for reviving is less than that. I use the red meter as a gauge of the odds of a person like me with low skill clearing it.
Like if you see boss have 25% HP, you still have 75% red meter just push on and ignore the 1HP

I am not setting foot in Online till I can do the Trumpets phase on my own 1st.

I might just keep going at the 1 hp phase at some point, glad to know it is not entirely impossible at that point.

So this game (or this IP) is called grind-blue fantasy. HAHA. At least there IS a super difficult end game waiting for you to challenge, so that you MAYBE won't feel the meaningless emptiness of grind.
It's just a game, you can stop playing it at any time, or pick it up again later in the sands of time.

[Ren O'the Blade]

I didn't play the earlier games, and nothing else has required a grind so far in this game. Well at least not to do successfully. Once I uninstall I rarely ever re-install a game, and I really prefer to put a game down out of boredom and not anger, and right now it is anger I am feeling. Not a huge fan of failing and I am just frustrated right now, but as I said, you were one of the few with helpful hints so thank you for those. I am sure at some point I will pull it off or just move into online and get the prick that way and come back with better gear mayhaps and trounce him in solo then.
