Vitalis 1 Posted 6 hours ago #1 Share Posted 6 hours ago Home stretch. It had come to Oscar’s attention - after a long conversation with Sin - that the Guild was on the precipice of maxing out. As it turned out, when the entire group showed up to take on Field Bosses, the Token rewards were off the charts. By her calculations, it would only take one more run of Suppression in order to max out their Guild Rank. Which Vitalis supposed was one of the reasons why Oscar called them out to this hellhole. Vitalis didn’t do well with the heat. And it didn’t get much hotter than standing next to a volcano’s caldera. With the group assembled, he wasted no time activating Press the Attack. He wanted to get this thing dead and get his ass back to cooler climates. Hell, Floor 4 looked really appealing right now and Vitalis didn’t like the cold either. “Just… Do the thing please. I’m melting.” Spoiler Post Action -> Press the Attack Vitalis | HP: 620/620 | EN: 90/90 | DMG: 1 | MIT:36 | BH:31 Phoenix | HP: 975/975 | DMG: 90 | MIT: 50 | ACC: 2 | EVA: 2 Tier Lock in Effect Spoiler "Name: Vitalis True Tier: 4 Level: 31 Paragon Level: 0 HP: 620/620 EN: 90/90 Stats: Damage: 1 Mitigation: 36 Battle Healing: 31 Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - Armor/Trinket: - Shield/Armor/Trinket: - Combat Mastery: - Combat Mastery: Mitigation R3 Combat Shift: - Familiar Skill: - Custom Skill: - Skills: - Battle Healing R5 - Energist Extra Skills: - First Aid R5 - Leadership R5 Inactive Extra Skills: Addons: - Field Medic Mods: - Barrier - Elusive - Inspiring Speech - Press the Attack - Purify - Rally - Steadfast Inactive Mods: Battle Ready Inventory: Housing Buffs: Guild Hall Buffs: Scents of the Wild Totem: Wedding Ring: Crafting Profession: Gathering Profession: " Link to post Share on other sites
Lysette 0 Posted 6 hours ago #2 Share Posted 6 hours ago Lysette took point as soon as Vitalis’s buff took effect. If she’d learned anything in their rather embarrassing fight with The Wasp Queen, it was that her set-up was absolutely crucial when it came to dealing with boss durability. This time, however, she had another trick up her sleeve. She took to the shadows, winking out of existence and appearing in front of the boss in the blink of an eye. Her weapon smashed down on the bird’s skull, poisons draining into its body. In the same instant, a massive blood-stained hook flashed into her hand. She brought it down low, swinging it up and hooking it right into the bird’s fiery breast. Shatter applied, lowering its mitigation. Just another part of her opening salvo that made her so deadly. With a spin, she ripped both weapons out of the bird and danced out of the way, opening the path for the rest of the party to take their shots.

Abellio 0 Posted 6 hours ago #3 Share Posted 6 hours ago “Is that what that thing does?” Abellio was star struck. He gazed at Lysette, wide-eyed and grinning - as she whirled out of the way of the boss. He didn’t know what it was, but seeing her pop off was always so incredibly attractive. Added to her mystique. Just another reason why he considered himself so lucky to be with her. And he would gush about it. Later. Right now he wasn’t about to waste the opening that his girlfriend had so graciously provided him. He took off like a rocket, a red blur. The force of his start broke ground, kicking up drops of magma that flowed just beneath the surface. His weapon struck the bird’s wing, causing it to teeter precariously in the air - unable to continue holding itself aloft. It crash landed on the ground, letting out a pained squawk. Abellio might have felt bad, had it been a real bird.

Oscar 0 Posted 6 hours ago #4 Share Posted 6 hours ago Oscar followed Abellio’s lead. Equally impressed with the new addition to Lysette’s opening salvo. Such a thing would be of great use in future fights. Everyone understood the concept. That brute force was a reliable and effective way to deal with the threats in Aincrad. In truth, outside of Frontline Raids, most things fell when you applied overwhelming force. And this would be no exception. As the Phoenix fell, Oscar’s blade caught its other wing, ensuring that it wouldn’t be able to take flight and position itself outside the reach of their blades. Not that he really needed to worry about it - the fucker was still stunned. And probably would remain so until the party dropped it. But this boss was special. Lysette and Abellio were aware but- “Be careful when its HP hits zero. This thing will revive itself. It shouldn’t be an issue, but let's not get complacent with it.” Spoiler Free Action -> Charge | -4 EN, +2 DMG Free Action -> Rhino's Horn | +3 DMG Post Action -> AOE-I vs Phoenix | ID: 258192 | BD: 9, crit Deal 410 DMG Vitalis | HP: 620/620 | EN: 90/90 | DMG: 1 | MIT:36 | BH:31 Lysette | HP: 770/770 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 16 +4 | ACC:5 | EVA:4 | BH:39 | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 | LD:4 Abellio | HP: 790/790 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 17 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | PHASE | FRZ-IM | BH:40 | HLY: 8 | BLI: 16/-10 Oscar | HP: 1050/1050 | EN: 130/130 | DMG: 18 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | AA | PHASE | F-SPIRIT | EVA:1 | BH:58 | VAMP-O: 173 | REC: 2 | LD:5 Phoenix | HP: 90/975 | DMG: 90 | MIT: 50 (-30) | ACC: 2 | EVA: 2 (-2) | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 0/2 Tier Lock in effect Spoiler "Name: Oscar True Tier: 12 Level: 35 Paragon Level: 83 HP: 1050/1050 EN: 130/130 Stats: Damage: 18 Mitigation: 91 Accuracy: 3 Evasion: 1 Battle Healing: 58 Loot Die: 5 Stealth Rating: -5 AA PHASEVAMP-O: 173 REC: 2 Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - <<Kyūketsuki>> T4 KATANA//ABS.ACC/PHASE/VAMP2 | 200925 Armor/Trinket: - <<TACTICAL UNDER ARMOR>> T4 HEAVY ARMOR//MIT/MIT/MIT/REC Shield/Armor/Trinket: - <<IVORY GOLD LEAF RING>> T1 TRINKET//ACC/ACC/EVA/EVA Combat Mastery: - Combat Mastery: Damage R3 Combat Shift: - AOE Shift Familiar Skill: - Custom Skill: - squabble up.

Warren 0 Posted 6 hours ago #5 Share Posted 6 hours ago Warren nodded. That was certainly a novelty. A boss reviving itself mid-combat. But looking at its health now and with Sin still yet to make a move, he didn’t find himself overly concerned. Though he did expect an explosion once the bird revived itself. Something cinematic and cool, probably. Or, at least, Cardinal’s approximation of cool. Either way, it wouldn’t matter. This would end much the same way that it usually did. With the boss dead and the team with not a scratch on them. He rushed in, <<Save the Queen>> cutting a nasty gash into the bird’s flank. It was the nature of the beast and not his own gadgetry that caused the gunpowder in his blade to explode. The force blew him backwards. He somersaulted in the air, twisting back and landing on his feet as the bird resurrected itself. “I forgot I could do that,” Warren said. “Probably should be more careful next time.” Spoiler Post Action -> AOE-I vs Phoenix | ID: 258193 | BD: 4+3, hit Deal 265 DMG Vitalis | HP: 620/620 | EN: 90/90 | DMG: 1 | MIT:36 | BH:31 Lysette | HP: 770/770 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 16 +4 | ACC:5 | EVA:4 | BH:39 | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 | LD:4 Abellio | HP: 790/790 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 17 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | PHASE | FRZ-IM | BH:40 | HLY: 8 | BLI: 16/-10 Oscar | HP: 1050/1050 | EN: 130/130 | DMG: 18 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | AA | PHASE | F-SPIRIT | EVA:1 | BH:58 | VAMP-O: 173 | REC: 2 | LD:5 Warren | HP: 730/730 | EN: 98/98 | DMG: 15 + 4 | MIT:132 | ACC:3 | AA | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | FL.AURA: 4 | FR.AURA: 4 | BH:15 Phoenix | HP: 225/975 | DMG: 90 | MIT: 50 (-30) | ACC: 2 | EVA: 2 (-2) | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 0/2 Ashborn Triggered, Heal 225 HP Tier Lock in effect Spoiler "Name: Warren True Tier: 4 Level: 35 Paragon Level: 3 HP: 730/730 EN: 98/98 Stats: Damage: 15 Mitigation: 132 Accuracy: 3 Battle Healing: 15 Stealth Rating: -5 AA TAUNT FL.AURA: 4 FR.AURA: 4 Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - <<Save the Queen>> | T4 Demonic OHSS | ABS.

Sinnamon 0 Posted 6 hours ago #6 Share Posted 6 hours ago As per usual, Sin brought up the rear. But she was fine with that. Honestly, the last person to move in a party had a heavy responsibility. They needed to be able to pivot quickly. Set the tone for round two. But, this group usually didn’t see a Round Two. And even if they did, the target would likely be shaking off a stun. So it wouldn’t be until Round Three that they would need to be able to contend with any threats. So her “setting the tone of the next round” was oftentimes hitting the fucker as hard as she could to make sure the tone was that there was no next round. And so she did just that. She struck with concussive force, the first blow she ever dealt with her new weapon. <<Aftershock>> aptly named for the ground tremors she was able to summon with every blow. The Phoenix was crushed. “Let’s go. I’m sweating and not for a good reason.” Spoiler Post Action -> AOE-I vs Phoenix | ID: 258194 | BD: 4+5, hit Deal 280 DMG Vitalis | HP: 620/620 | EN: 90/90 | DMG: 1 | MIT:36 | BH:31 Lysette | HP: 770/770 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 16 +4 | ACC:5 | EVA:4 | BH:39 | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 | LD:4 Abellio | HP: 790/790 | EN: 104/104 | DMG: 17 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | PHASE | FRZ-IM | BH:40 | HLY: 8 | BLI: 16/-10 Oscar | HP: 1050/1050 | EN: 130/130 | DMG: 18 + 4 | MIT:91 | ACC:3 | AA | PHASE | F-SPIRIT | EVA:1 | BH:58 | VAMP-O: 173 | REC: 2 | LD:5 Warren | HP: 730/730 | EN: 98/98 | DMG: 15 + 4 | MIT:132 | ACC:3 | AA | TAUNT | F-SPIRIT | FL.AURA: 4 | FR.AURA: 4 | BH:15 Sinnamon | HP: 630/630 | EN: 90/90 | DMG: 16 + 4 | ACC:4 | AA | EVA:2 | BH:32 | FLN: 8 | LD:1 Phoenix | HP: 0/975 | DMG: 90 | MIT: 50 (-30) | ACC: 2 | EVA: 2 (-2) | BLD: 24 | BLI: 16/-10 | BRN: 28 | FRB: 20 0/2 Tier Lock in effect Spoiler "Name: Sinnamon True Tier: 4 Level: 31 Paragon Level: 0 HP: 630/630 EN: 90/90 Stats: Damage: 16 Accuracy: 4 Evasion: 2 Battle Healing: 32 Loot Die: 1 AA FLN: 8 Equipped Gear: Weapon/Armor/Trinket: - Aftershock | T4 Perfect Straight Sword | Absolute Accuracy, Fallen II Armor/Trinket: - Accelerant | T1 Perfect Trinket | ACC II | EVA I Shield/Armor/Trinket: - Combat Mastery: - Combat Mastery: Damage R3 Combat Shift: - AOE Shift Familiar Skill: - Custom Skill: - Skills: - Battle Healing R5 - Energist - Straight Sword R5 - Unhindered Extra Skills: Inactive Extra Skills: Addons: - Ferocity - Precision - Stamina Mods: Inactive Mods: Battle Ready Inventory: Housing Buffs: Guild Hall Buffs: Scents of the Wild Totem: Wedding Ring: Crafting Profession: Gathering Profession: " Link to post Share on other sites
