And, there it is. The goddamn hard-mode Aegis clear that took waaaay too long to happen. In the end, it probably doesn't really matter at all, huh?
Wowza, a consecutive video uploaded by the guy with RNG schedule?! Well, I really want this to be done for awhile. I can probably do something else and take a moment to reflect on everything before Dark Falz Dalion and 2nd batch of TAC arrive. After a gut-wrenching, massive gear upgrade which ends up slightly horrendous, I drag my soulless self through Halpha and dimensional space to see if after all this time I still got what it takes to deal with all bullshit that Aegis throw at me... as a pure bow user.
I gotta admit, I've become too damn rusty. Several tactics are also snitched from the prior clear found in the Global side as well, because I was too tunnel-vision back then to realize what could be done or not, alongside with lacking too much damage to meet the requirement. But at least it confirms my theory of "what do I really need to clear this cucked quest solo". Combined everything with strats I can think of mid-fight, this messy clear is the final result. Despite all the padding, me fucking it up too much would easily spiral into a failed attempt.
It was an emotional ride during this short recording session. The W that doesn't spark joy but a relief, the lost of all my NGS pals and their trusts as they march on to something greater, the seething rage and angst of my hands failing to follow my head, the inevitability of capitalism, and the reality of percentage damage scaling in this game to cover its "regarded" class/weapon balance...
This fight has it all. A mortal reminder that one day, when all is said and done for NGS Bow & Braver, it's probably my turn to also walk away. There's a lot more I could yap about, but it's time for me to fix my sleep schedule and tell myself when to stop. Adios~
Gears: Fatale 3 Reyaar (Rosearm) Bow/Katana and 1-2 combo set of Level 3 Increaza-Orgsys Einea Vida-Vio. 186% Damage Scaling w/ ~72% Minimum Damage. Braver/Slayer class combo.
I probably "Nah, I'd win" too hard I bricked an absurd number of Grand Gigas Maesti that only one of my gear piece whiff it. *sigh* I'll find a way to put that last one back somehow later down the month. Back to Dext Base wage slaving then.
