Huzzah! (warning: possible Heroside final boss spoilers)

So, I made it to Pollux today. Before the battle, I thought it'd be just like Castor, so my plan was to use Guykild and a bunch of Handguns and really weak weapons and just go with the E rank... Boy, was I wrong. Pollux was crazy strong in comparison to Castor, and needless to say, I got obliterated.

Then I tried it again with Kylria, and I did alot better, but once the Timed Pierce effect kicked in, I got obliterated... again.

Then I found this nice little trinket called "Penetrate Guard"... completely blocks all piercing attacks, so I put 3 in my deck lickidysplit, and needless to say, that time, I obliterated Pollux. A Rank.

But I wasn't expecting Ampla Umbra after than... I thought I still had to beat the story mode one more time... so, yada-yada-yada, obliterated.

The next time though, I got an A+ on Pollux and I actually did good against Ampla Umbra. There were 2 Dice+1 on the field, a Chaos Bringer, a Delbiter, a C-Assassin, and a Hildelt. I had a Yas3kR and Divinity Barrier. I got it down to 36 HP and I used Yas3kR + Slash + Stab + Split Boost (6) to do 18 damage. Then Ampla pulled out some crazy "Meteor something" that knocked everything to 1 HP. So, if I didn't kill the thing then, I'd get whooped the next turn, because I was surronded by really stron monsters. Luckily, I drew a great hand. Yas3kR + Gun Attack + Attack + Split Boost... I needed a roll of 3! Then Ampla pulled out a Guard! :O The Die rolled 4! But then it did one last click and landed on 6!!!!!!!!!!! 18 damage; just barely won; almost made the damned thing get all it's health back.

A Rank.




... but all really cruddy cards.

So, anyway... that was intense! Huzzah!

So Ampla Umbra is directly after Pollux...?

Where did you get Penetrate Guard?

And who the heck is Castor? Do you mean the Leukon Knight in Ravum Aedes Sacra?

Hey! Someone actually replied! lol... (this has got to be the most dead part of all the forum)

Castor is the Arkz version of Pollux.

Aparantly Ampla Umbra does come right after Pollux/Castor... But I thought that you needed to beat the Heroside and Darkside once, then do one over again. I beat the Darkside twice and after beating the Heroside once, I had to fight Ampla Umbra. I beat the Darkside 3 times now, and I just barely beat Amplu Umbra that time too. Hyze was at 1 HP, and all I had was a C-Bringer and an Arlan, both also at 1 HP - the Arlan had 5 AP that turn. Ampla Umbra had 14 HP. I did C-Bringer (3 damage), Hyze (4 damage), Arlan + Attack + Slash (9 damage). B Rank...

The Penetrate Guards are just something I found while playing. +2 HP, 2 DEF cost, block Red and Orange (?) attacks, and completely block anything that pierces. And since all of Pollux's attacks do peirce after 8 turns, it was pretty useful.

Cool! Gotta get me some of them... Pollux is a b****!

You fight Amplum Umbra after you complete either Pollux or Castor having beaten the other.

I must agree with you, whiteninja, the EPIII section is dead!
