I can atleast do Yesod on hardcore with one team. Not sure i have a good enough team for extreme.

Chiaki's inability to crit breaks my heart because she really got dethroned by S.Mika...

I kinda get it. You just have to alternate between the colors depending on which hand gets raised.

This video is really good at explaining what the fuck is going on.

He's not too bad, I think. Blue Red Blue Red blue then red blue red blue red, then just wipe out the lamps in alternating colors.

My team of S.Mika, Rabu, Chiaki, M.Suzumi, M.Reisa and S.Atsuko beat his first phase on hardcore but we might be too slow because i run out of time before his second hand.

Then i just mop it up. I kind of doubt I'll be able to beat Extreme once it unlocks tomorrow, though.

Thank god for Mock battle. Took me a bit - Even after I watched SherlockPlays' guide on how to beat it, it still took me a couple attempts because I accidentally fucked up the order of things and triggered an insta-wipe, but thankfully it was a mock battle so it wasn't too bad.

You just need two different teams, in the first one really you just need at least one DPSer (obvious reason) and at least one AoE healer (Yesod's auto-attack targets everyone at once) everything else doesn't matter that much so you're free to do what you want. Get ATK buffers, sub DPSers, cost support, whatever. Second wave you want to bring buffers, preferably AoE buffers for the friendly robots, and CC, preferably AoE CC to hit the two towers on the left. In order of importance, the best buffs are ATK SPD > M.Sooz's buffs > ATK buffs. The little bots can't Crit so Crit buffing is useless.

So sounds like what I need to do is drop M.Suzumi, M.Reisa and Rabu from my first wave team, then, and move them to my second wave? Chiaki is useful, occasionally S.Mika's EX skill ends before I can blast the last pillar and Chiaki is a lifesaver when that happens. I have C.Sena so I'll move her to the first wave.

Unfortunately I'd like to be able to clear it with one team, and I almost can... I just run out of time after Yesod's second arm spawns.

Rabu is really good (though not vital) for the 2nd phase because her CC stun bounces on both yellow pillars at once. Which means when both pillars are above half and you hit them with her stun it gives you double the attack bonus for the turrets so moving her to that team is preferable.

I believe the turrets on phase 2 do even more damage if a target is inflicted with focus fire so Sakurako, Noa, S.Izuna or S.Ichika are useful, too. This is also the one raid (and just for Phase 2) where Track Haruna's niche actually works in the game.

It's nice finding really good animation randomly that isn't just repeated memes

Also got filtered hard by Yesod, can't even manage hardcore.

I was able to beat harcore but I can't even scratch extreme. I've got the mechanics down, it isn't that bad once you understand it but the jump from 7 health bars to 70 is impossible for me.

 

[Freelance Police]

If you got Wakamo bring her as a second DPS for phase 1. Her EX doesn't care about Yesods damage reduction and she can reap the benefits from the analysis buffs on top of that. She won't survive insane without heavier investments but she should be solid for extreme and below.

if it can help in any way whatsoever, i've had used this comp as a peak budget hardcore setup, and yes, haruna, tsubaki on the first, and nagusa on the second are all extras
of course this setup is practically useless in extreme


e: and forgot to mention, the main DPSes of this team (kazusa and renge) are just 3-4-4-4, there's no need of major investments for them

They do. Additionally, if someone is missing good AoE buffers then the next best thing would be auto-attacker characters with self-buffs as they're usually really strong buffs, of course those buffs only transfer to their "assigned" robot rather than the entire team.

If you got Wakamo bring her as a second DPS for phase 1. Her EX doesn't care about Yesods damage reduction and she can reap the benefits from the analysis buffs on top of that. She won't survive insane without heavier investments but she should be solid for extreme and below.

I've seen people bring Wakamo to Ins+ but then they have to sacrifice a slot for an ST healer to keep her alive.

Decent Hardcore clear on NA is about 6000- 7000th right now, this is worse than Geburah S1. This box is filtering quite a lot of people with his anti-bruteforce gimmicks.

Also I see a lot of people using regular Noa in phase 2, it makes sense because she is the only DEF debuff student that can provide suppressive fire, and the support drones that spawn in deal MUCH more damage to enemies that are caught by it. I'm still ooga booga'ing those pillars with S. Hanako but I'm going to have to raise Noa it looks like for higher difficulties.

Edit to not doublepost: new JP stuff time.

Spoiler

the Natsu-like girl is Tsubasa from the Mo Supernatural Research Department, not the same as the club Mirai is in.

And this girl dug up from the files, name not revealed yet, seems to be part of the Valkyrie security department

Next new pick up banner after this event is uniform Akane who is a red Special.

JP Stuff

Spoiler: More JP stuff, likely spoilers

The new NPC girl is someone from the Correctional Bureau, aka the folks that handles the Seven Prisoner stuff.

They also apparently namedropped two more of the Seven Prisoners but not sure whether they are mentioned by name only or has CG/sprites.

Aside of that, the noteworthy stuff people picked on is that Konoka is a slob whose entire fashion is just hawaiian shirts and the new Tsubasa girl has plenty of funny expression which is utilized in the event.

I'm in EU and I've also seen people who did Hardcore with a high score currently being in Plat. I'm sure it's gonna change once a few people decide to do the insurmountable task of either reading or watching a guide video, but just like Geburah I wouldn't be surprised if a good Extreme clear is gonna be all that's needed for a Plat finish.

Spoiler: Yesod fight broken down

Phase 1:
- Break one pillar of your choice, then look at the ground's color; if it's red, break a blue pillar, if it's blue, break a red pillar, repeat until bottom left bar fills up to 5 bars. Break 5 pillars during the first two attack patterns (arms), and break all during the third one (central body). Do not delay breaking the pillars otherwise you won't be able to get any damage and buffs in.
- Do not break two pillars at once or else you will get a permanent stun akin to Insane+ Geburah's freeze. Do not break pillars of the same color consecutively as well otherwise you will receive a lot of DoT damage.
- On Insane+, four random pillars (five in the last attack pattern) will be 'marked' with an arrow and the remaining one with an X. The pillar with the X needs to be broken last.
- If Yesod's attack gets blocked by the last pillar's shield, that means it's time to fire your Waka. Waka is used because her EX skill can ignore the 99% damage reduction imposed by Yesod.

Phase 2:
- Relatively simple. Destroy the pillars on the right as soon as possible using Noa, Miyo, or Magical Suzumi to buff the support drones, impose CC debuff on the left pillars when their health gets filled to about halfway using either Rabu (magical girl event welfare unit), Saki, or Tsubaki, and then let the drones destroy the hands.

Recommended teams:
- Phase 1: Wakamo (main DPS), swimsuit Mika (sub DPS), swimsuit Hanako (for breaking pillars - be mindful to only break one pillar at a time as her EX skill is AOE), Idol Mari or Kokona (striker healer), Kisaki (DPS buffer), magical Reisa (provides buffs and AOE continous heal)
- Phase 2: Magical Suzumi (drone buffer), Noa (DEF down debuffer and drone buffer), battle Hoshino or Fuyu (DEF down debuffer), Miyo (drone buffer, replace with Rabu for CC if you don't have Saki), Saki (CC support), and Mari (cheap shields and DEF down debuffer)

TLDR: In phase 1, break pillars one by one whilst alternating colors, leave one pillar up unless if it's the third attack pattern - you now need to break all pillars. Start dealing damage once Yesod's attack gets reflected by the pillar's shield. In phase 2, buff support drones and impose DEF debuffs on the arms as much as you can, break rightmost pillars, CC leftmost pillars.

The two sides of this boss I've seen on twitter have been basically.

I can't fuckin figure this shit out lads I'm done what a SHIT BOSS [screenshot of being stuck in Normal/Hard difficulty].

The two sides of this boss I've seen on twitter have been basically.

Tragically I seem to just not have the ability to win using the tactics suggested - I think my teams just aren't quite built enough yet.

I can win Hardcore though so... fine, I guess.

Spoiler: she wins....

Spoiler: she wishes you an happy bday.....

"Sensei, happy birthday!"
"I don't know what you like, so let's(?) go to the shopping mall right now!"

Spoiler: and her being wet (her l2d)

"Oh man, I’m soaking wet... ugh… it’s freezing"
"It’s started raining, hasn’t it?"
"And it’s not going to stop until nightfall…"
"Sigh…"
"Well, I suppose it was just the thing to clear my head."
(S) "Are you okay? Have you calmed down?"
"Eh? Oh, well..."
"If I said I wasn’t disappointed, I’d be lying."
"All that effort’s gone to waste, and I’m left soaking wet..."
"But it turned out just like the fortune-teller said.
"Because my partner was right there beside me, it turned out to be a great day."
".....It's all thanks to you sensei."
"So, if I had to be honest...
"I'm happy."
"……Ah, no, I mean!"
"I mean, I’m lucky and happy to be able to shelter from the rain like this!"
"T-that’s all… really…"

e: and remember in all of this that this is how her room looks like
