that's not really that crazy seeing the second mechanic is a major downtime mechanic and athena is all uptime. You still kill it before NA2 so it's not that crazy
I agree - I guess it will remain this way until the next tier's gear comes out and even then I'm not sure if it will be enough to skip High Concept. I think unsynced people will likely still need to do NA and HC1 until like the end of Dawntrail 7.5 or w/e. It does make sense if you think about it though Hespy goes Un-targetable during HC1; we're allowed to attack Athena throughout the whole fight unsynced!
With the pluses and x's or whatever? yeah that was a fun mech! When I was pf'ing this a year ago I only had one group that got through it successfully, seemed to be the big wall. I'd go to the right spot but if one person basically doesn't its over lol. I'd die a little inside every time lmao.
@@shironpolar6827 I only can confirm about 5 of us were BIS. 3 of the other party members were picked up from PF so I don't know for sure. Everyone was definitely 610 or higher though!
Super chain 1 my behated still happens dang. I’m so glad I never have to do this fight again even with iL increase it still doesn’t look fun
Funny how savage Hephaestos is longer and harder unsynced than Savage unsynced Athena.

downtime + p8 was balanced around Phenix double damage buff.
You miss the best part, Para 3.

Did they all have the same Item Level?
