    King Protea works extremely well in this fight thanks to her health stacking mitigating the max hp downs, Skadi NP's insta-kill immunity also having a use for once was kinda wild. This fight can be horrible, but with the right team it's honestly quite a fun balancing act

    I didn't talk too much about the other contracts Mephisto can give. You don't really have to worry about them in a rushdown strategy. But for the record, he can give the other enemies contracts too. These can involve taunts and poison-on-hit debuffs, but these have drawbacks for those enemies after two turns.
    Supposedly, he can also give one of your servants a full bar and NP damage buff at the cost of killing them once it expires. I haven't seen that myself though.

    I ran Passionlip for this fight and I have to say that it went quite well. Her being tanky meant that the max health decrease wasn't really a factor. It was a real shame that her second skill didn't activate with reduced maxed health. It took 20 turns but it worked out in the end.

Put 2030s, Prisma Cosmos, or other forms of star gen/np gen on supports. Lip has damage CE.

      @lunatickoala 3 ปีที่แล้ว +28

      A lot of what makes them look super easy, especially on TH-cam, is that you don't see all the failed attempts. Quite a lot of the difficulty simply comes down to the high amount of randomness inherent in a lot of these CQs, where an unlucky crit or bad hand can cause things to spiral out of control.
      Another part of the difficulty comes from the rather complicated design of the CQs. But they're complicated, not complex. Once you understand what's going on, execution is actually pretty straightforward... assuming that circumstances actually allow you to execute. The problem is that the barriers to execution are often outside your control, such has having the right characters or the right RNG.

    • @KreuzDrache
      @KreuzDrache 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      As much as I do like fgo, it is really brutal for newer players imo. The longer you play, the more resources you get access to, whether it better servant variety, servant strength or lots of friends to pull from. That being said, even after playing for around three years, some of these challenges are still a pain. Rng and Murphy's law does not help either lol.

  • @argonaut640
    @argonaut640 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    So the gist of this one is:
    Run some way of removing that Buff Block so it doesn't get in the way (Clap man helps)
    Pray you don't start with the Buster Buff contract because that's not a fun time
    You're working with a lot of random buffs with horrible debuffs coming your way; some of them instagib once their duration expires (Rare instance of Caster Scathach NP working well due to it preventing such things)
    If the instagib don't gib, he will also cut max HP by a lot
    AoE Rider, Alter Ego or Berserker help in taking down this fight as well as clearing up the trash mobs. Preferably ones with self-charges, I presume (I have Astolfo so I guess my game plan for now is "run something similar and pray I get the same results")
    On break, Joker Prototype will purge all buffs on the field and may summon more contracts
    Despite its complexities, it does look like one could be able to clear this one without too many hardships. May try this one myself and see how it goes. Otherwise, I'll go back to the lotto farm.

  • @Shethwind
    @Shethwind 3 ปีที่แล้ว +7

    The mechanics for this fight are mostly surmountable, but I'd argue that three values are overtuned, which can crank up the volatility quite high for lower-end setups
    -the volume of the attack debuff from the buster contract
    -the volume of the defense debuff on mephisto's second bar, which lasts a *very* long time since he keeps leaving the field
    -the volume of the defense buff on his second bar's taunt contract, which is a *nightmare* if it ends up on the knight.
    Kingprotea and Arjuna Alter are top dog if you're set for your own supports and want to borrow for DPS. I'd say Arjuna is a better lead, and Kingprotea is a better anchor, if you plan to field two attackers. Arjuna's guts skill can help push through the initial buff block, and can also be used to extend his longevity after the instant kill drops him on turn 7, if you don't build instant death immunity into your team composition. Give him invul with a teammate or mystic code, let the damage CE's guts effect proc, then apply the guts/regen on turn 8, and with any luck, you can get him to stick around for quite a while longer.

  • @KreuzDrache
    @KreuzDrache 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I used my maxed out Gorgon as my main attacker and a friends cu alter with damage ce on. I used her so I can have aoe and slight np gain, as well as an additional guts use. That being said, Skadi was a big part too in protecting against the death contract. I never would have thought of using Jinako though.

    I did this with Kingprotea because my Drake and Astolfo were both only at NP1, so they ain't doing diddly squat to the other mobs. Unfortunately, KP is also only at NP1so I had very little room for error- moreso that the comp I copied required Outrage, which I didn't have. Had to use a CS to force an NP at one point, and I still doubted she'd be able to pancake him at the end.
    Still extremely happy to finally be able to use best giant daughter for what she was made for. Fully lored her just for this.

    Waver - Berserker Lancelot - Skadi
    Waver and Skadi with 2038 and Lancelot with event CE. At very start use all your buffs (starting with 3 most useless ones to get rid of block first) since they should be up again in 5 or 6 turns and you will burst down first break bar while buffs are still up. Try to not kill adds as much as its possible to not get to Knight you saw on the video
    Like Fino said reset if you get the burster contract on main dealer. Mefi will show up on like turn 2. Then you need to deal enough damage to brake his bar with good NP + brave turn from your Berserker. Reset till that happen.
    Keep stalling for few turns trying not kill any adds and he will appear again on turn 5 or 6. This time he will have massive defense buff. Use all your buffs again and deal a lot of damage to him. Then he should be down by many HPs and your first 3 servants will die. In my backline i had Nitocris + Ridertoki + Mash.
    You will get like 2 turns before enemy show ups for last time use that time to charge Ridertoki NP. Activate Nito skills and make NP chain with Nito and Ridertoki. Nito will kill mobs while Kintoki should finish up Mephi.
    Yeah this is not easy and will require a lot of resets, if you dont have certain servants you need to replace them best way you can.

    Summer BB can actually just not get affected by the insta kill, so if you run her as your main attacker (which was what I did) you can have a decently safe run, plus she has a giant health pool at Lv 90 so the gibbed 10k max HP won't be too much of a problem after factoring that she also as a good heal and evade skill.

  • @Late0NightPC
    @Late0NightPC 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Something to keep in mind for the fight, Mephi's break bar isn't just a buff purge. It is a full reset for EVERYONE, including his team and your team's debuffs. If you have any contract punishments like that 90% attack down from the buster contract, he removes it in addition to all your buffs. Plus he also removes any buffs he or the minions have gotten from each other.
    You can see it on Hans, his buff block is removed while Astolfo's buffs are removed. So if you plan to run some solo strategy with QSH, it means you can stack up the contract debuffs, then get them purged to hurry and finish off Mephisto when he is the last one left.

    I did this fight with Kingprotea and she slams down on exhibition quest pretty hard. I ended up killing all the enemies and left Mephy for last. The only advice I have for a KP comp is to bring Skadi for her NP. You don't want Mephy to suddenly purge all her growth buffs and have the instakill pop her guts. Lot of anxiety waiting for those growth stacks to come back.

For the buff and np bar removal on mephis' bar break I made sure my party had as much hp as possible before breaking his hp bar and I saved everyone's skills since parvati, merlin and skadi all have skills for np gain and survival. Then I just built up skadi and merlin np asap with those skills and arts chains. I was lucky that mephistoteles did not manage to kill anyone until I got the nps up. After that the battle was as good as won but you really need to plan ahead and be lucky, which gladly I was :) Iirc I broke his hp bar when he was 1 turn away from nping so I could use merlin's illusion after the break to mitigate mephis' np and my whole team gained a good chunk of np from it.
