I'm not sure how long it took me. The character did not have much play time at all, but I had to reset a LOT. VH Ruins took me about fifty tries, because I kept gaining exp from Dark Gunners. Dark Gunners like to kill random monsters including each other, and they are the only monster for which the HP does not reset when you go to Pioneer 2. It took me some time to figure that out and remember it. <_<
Ultimate Falz was not hard at all. I used 4 God/HP for her, and at that time I had used about 3 HP materials (I had about 30, but having more HP would unable me to suicide...). 17 Scape Dolls helped a lot too, as well as my Barrier (don't underestimate it, it has okay resistances! ;p) and even the Frame (still 5 EFR, not all that bad).
Does anyone remember how when you give a L200 mag to a L1 chara and get hit by a Booma for 3 damage, you gain like 80 PB? Well, despite the 0% synchro, when you get hit for 250+ damage you instantly gain 100 PB. >_>
This is really useful, because it yields a free PB dodge every time (yay, saves me from dying to another Heaven Punishment).
Eh? I'm going to post pictures and evidence? ~_~
Well, okay, did a quick search for my topic on the BB boards.
Ult Falz cost me 17 Scapes, I only used my own equipment. To get there I used duped Scape Dolls, it's too much of a pain to return to Pioneer 2 after every suicide. <_<
I could have prevented a
lot more deaths during the Falz fight, if I had..
- a decent level Barta; for phase two.
- 125 HP/TP mats; to prevent most deaths including some TP suicides.
- Cure/Freeze; forgot to transfer mine, which was incredibly stupid. I did not need my fourth God/HP, and got killed by freeze combos several times.
- 13/0/0/187 Soniti; some time ago I chose to evolve my mag into an Angel Wings instead. An Invulnerability-at-100PB mag would have been great though. My PB instantly filled after each hit, because I was still at level 1. Because of this I could PB-dodge a lot, but it would have been nice if I got a free invulnerability time after each hit as well. :wacko:
EDIT: Ehh... Sorry to 56K people? >_>
