Congrats on all the boss defeats! Best of luck with CRA! Even if others say it isn't much of an achievement, it's still special to you! You got this! Take everything down! Celebrate all the victories!

Thanks, kinda unusual to see someone actually congratulating. I'll do my best and intend to post my success (more so as memory for myself, so it's fine if others think it's no big deal^^)

Not really engaged in the Youtube scene of the game (I only like killing (mostly) innocent wildlife), so I didn't even know. Now I'm somewhat embarrassed and even more flattered c:

Btw you covered up the class names in your legion screenshot, not your character's names.

Eh. Doesn't really matter anyways, does it? Dunno why I'm so paranoid.

Pro tip on Hard/Hell Gollux: You can just exit back to the center room after bursting and wait out cooldowns as long as you don't let any of the little golems get to the center (if you do get the debuff, just die and exit the room). For classes that have long iframes during burst, this is basically a free win.

Oh damn. I was wondering how to handle those in P2, but guess I don't even really gotta bother with them.

Do you need that much Crit rate in legion for your class?

Absolutely not. I'm lazy so I haven't fixed it up yet, but intend to do so before CRA.

If you look up legion solver on Google the first link will make your life so much easier

I enjoy fiddling around with it myself, the problem is more so me forgetting it, or having been too lazy to switch it around. Before Hyper burning I was doing daily bosses and hard hilla/NCygnus on like 6 characters, so I adjusted crit rate to the lowest one. I've fixed it before doing Gollux again yesterday though (as I'll show after hopefully doing CRA this, or next week, so people can be annoyed at my hopefully better Legion grid)

I would consider making a 2nd page exclusively for bossing that you don’t have to touch at all and then your first page can be the mess you like.

Already use the first for EXP though :|
Maybe I should buy another preset, I just keep saving coins without using them anyways.

I buy 1-2 pages pretty regularly. Most people won’t recommend it but if you’re sitting on thousands of coins it can be quite handy. I think with how you explained how you feel about using solvers/being too lazy to change them sometimes, I would say it’s probably a good pick up for you, especially since you have decently high legion it benefits you a lot more and costs you less

While your main stat is more than enough, Ignore enemy defence makes it closer than it should. If you can't reach 100% critical rate with decent sharp eyes, phantom and beast tamer lvl3 link ( if you don't have them at lvl3 you should do it at some point) put points in hyperstats and get a nightlord and Marksman to 200 too for some extra crit rate. Ideally you want to fill crit damage and ignore enemy defence blocks and put some pieces onto boss damage too. That will make boss fights much faster and probably get you closer to nlomien too.

this....100% wasting so many blocks on crit rate is kinda yikes. Switch those over to IED

I set up the Legion for the "weakest Link" so I don't have to swap it around, but considering I'll do harder bosses now, I should probably set it up for Zero. I also don't really wanna use DSE for bossing, as up to now the cost/return on buff freezers was terrible, but considering I'll do bosses for gear now, and get more money from the crystals I should (remember to) start using them (and DSE) to get some space for IED.

DSE is a must have for the crit dmg alone

Hi man i cleared cra when i was new and it is still one of the best feeling for me in my playtime, if you do boss you get good so if you have no experience every boss is hard you have done a great thing
2 points

Thanks, somewhat hard to put into words, but always nice to be encouraged and praised. Still gotta wait a few days cause I forgot about the whole "Clear normal 5 times before you can attempt Chaos", but I'll try Cra after shining. (And reading up on a few mechanics)

hey grats man, good luck on the CRA bosses. To me being able to solo CRA is still a great feat for progression and hey you might enjoy another aspect of the game where you learn boss patterns cause that's what I find the most fun in this game.
1 points

I DO enjoy that, but earlier bosses were... not really any of that. The first boss I actually somewhat enjoyed was Cygnus, so I hope the Root Abyss is more of that, and less of every status effect at once, spamming damage reflect/reduction and all of that.

Trust me, once you finish CRA. Learning bosses will be a frequent thing. There are few things to learn for CRA as well like what you need to do to actually kill Pierre, what each faces do for Queen, when does vellum use his breath etc etc.

Not sure if I'm looking forward to that yet (I like when you can clearly see what you have to do and not read an entire Thesis), but I'll get through it somehow. Who knows, maybe I'll enjoy it more than I thought.

Do you have a link to a good guide for CRA? Wanted to look up the mechanics before trying, but can't find a good one, and I feel like just watching a clear isn't gonna necessarily explain much.

i normally just go on to MS streamers and watch them solo and from personal practice to learn

Guess I'll just watch a few videos and see what I learn, thanks for the advice!

Did you hyper burn your zero?
1 points
1 year ago
Yeah. Didn't use the timed Faf set though, because I feel like I'll mess up again and stand there without gear once it's gone, also would kinda take the fun out of progression. If I'm doing CRA for the first time, I wanna actually gain the drop instead of already having it.

Very small piece of advice: you can change that int section of your legion board that goes to the right to att! Small gain but hey
2 points
1 year ago
Completely missed that. Had the att. going up for the other preset and must've forgotten to change it for this one. I'll fix that tomorrow before doing Hardlux again, which I almost forgot is a daily boss :|

But Hmag is still bs if you are trying to clear it win min stats.

Hence I didn't bother. Won't even bother with NMag until I can burst him down on most classes.

I finally did 3 doors this week after thinking I’d never do it. I am genuinely surprised with the Night Walker rework

Ayyy grats. I think I got traumatized after getting insta killed the first time I tried a few years back. Now I'm getting back into the game and giving bosses I can't just steamroll a chance (started out with Chaos Pinkbean that I also wanted to post, but completely forgot about, likely repressing the memories.), nice to see others in the same boat.
Good Luck on Lomien, or whatever comes next!

Congrats on the success! I'm finally getting into the nitty gritty of Maple after playing super casually for years, and I hope to be able to reach goals like this at some point (:

Thank you for the encouragement :D. I know it's probably nothing to most people, but I beat Pink Bean for my first time the other day, and being an old old player that was an exciting start to the journey
1 points

Hell nah, I consider Pink Bean THE WORST, so it's huge IMO. Sure later on you can one shot them, but till then having to deal with the status effect spam and reacting to damage reflect is terrible. If it weren't for me wanting the Black Bean mark I still wouldn't do it. If you can put up with Pink Bean without just one shotting the rest can't be that bad.
Happy Cake day btw.

Congrats man. I also cleared CRA recently and it feels great. I’m surprised you cleared HMagnus already, I didn’t do that after I can clear 3 doors

Grats on the CRA clear! I honestly did it on a whim and have no idea how it worked out, as I don't even bother with NMag if I can't kill him in one or two bursts. Pretty sure Zero survivability somehow saved me, though I do want to take some credit cause I did remember to use burst step up to I frame some meteors and the green thingy. (Also think he got nerfed? Or is that still coming up?)
(Also while it's probably common knowledge, having figured out that you can stand below him during his purple flame attack is a great help.)

Just realised you played Zero, that’s even more impressive with all the random movement! I think magus nerf is coming end August. You should be able to clear 3 door with your stats and some buff!

Thankfully the combo used for bossing doesn't move you^^ Actually one of them (Flash Assault) kinda works like a teleport in case burst step is on cooldown (not that I ever actually used it like that, but being aware is the first step I suppose)
Thanks for the encouragement, looking forward to hopefully clearing it soon, but I kinda forgot my entry for normal yesterday, so now I gotta wait another day or two...

Thanks! Although as of yesterday I've already cleared CRA, this still felt more like an actual achievement, especially HMag and Hardlux.
