Ambuscade Findings
Hello People

Zone in and murder it. Belladona is weak to about everything except ranged attacks (with aura up).
Literally any DD x4, geo, healer. We also ran pup/smn/bst x 5 + 1 x cor She doesn't charm like all other Belladonnas?
You can solo VD on BST with trusts. >6min with 2hr, used one mulsum. I am sure you could do it w/o 2hr but will take many more resources and time. Do a fight go afk and come back in 30 min get KI and repete. :)

No charm, done the fight 50+ times and never charms.
She will do
Those are all based on the wiki, i can confirm there is no amnesia, or paralyze on this mobs version. That said just burn her down, if you have blue war or dark doing 20k ws with 20k skill chains, 6-8k heals every 10 seconds cant keep up with the dmg. Even with just 5 pets it cant keep up. If that's the case can you not just alternate light/dark to keep the damaging going and no heals?

Not sure i follow.
Any WS during the animation of infernal liberation triggers full bloom, nothing to do with light/dark Offline

I'd like to acknowledge and thank Orij for providing the written strategy, the basis for this recording. This was on D setting. We tried VD twice but our tank (me) died to Head Seize twice before we decided to just go back to spamming D.

Issue isn't survival ability, it's the contribution RUN makes to damage output. You really need to kill the MB in one volley. Offline

I'd love to see a vid of the strat with pld nin Blu smn geo whm. The burst strat is kool and all but not really something u can expect of a shout party. tho shout party is a problem in itself atm with everyone off taking advantage of cp bonus.
Edit: obviously misread kunels post, how did u cope with the crazy debuffs? Offline

Nice work there Ruau.
Side note...I made it in your video! Has anyone figured out how to drop the aura on Belladonna? That slow aura is destroying my killspeed.
Dev showed a video in their last freshly picked vanadiel, so you can try figuring something.
Dannyl noticed dev protect dropping at some point, i think the aura dropped after a skillchain (fusion?) or magic burst. YouTube Video Placeholder Try a Distortion skillchain (non-CA self sc) and burst with a blizzard and see if that works. It was the only time I saw the aura drop on my logs as I CDC'ed off of Qultada's Savage Blade. After mule blizzard burst the 3 effects faded as Bella did Nightstalker tp move. I'm not sure if it has to be a certain damage amount
I stopped Ambuscading due to other campaigns getting my attention ^^ edit: I also think a Fire based sc might work since plants are weak to that... not to mention thats what we saw on the video. Liquification didn't work for me. I also tried Fusion but it was a self-sc, not sure if that plays into it ;; Well I noticed the aura seems to lock Full Bloom...but its still not worth it.

YouTube Video Placeholder Tried D intense with a PUG melee style for the most part ive played with a lot of them but its not my normal group. I know VD stages up quite a bit,Anyway to try and bypass Head snatch that drops the pld to 1 HP? Has anyone tried to kite it like last month? Search function isn't working, so I can't verify if this hasn't been noticed before, but "Legion:" gear works in Ambuscade. Tested using (heh) the Ambuscade Ring. Gave 8 Acc when equipped inside Ambuscade.
Uses I can think of for this: Maquette Ring (Refresh +2), Puissant Pearl & Corybant Pearl for tanking, Cytherea Pearl for healing. Offline

YouTube Video Placeholder In case people still need pointers before it changes in December. VD Intense can be done melee: Idris GEO, Strong DD, Burt PLD, Yagrush WHM, THF, RDM/DNC. PLD tank, RDM and THF spam CB and AE. RDM opens with stymie silence on Zahak, PLD invincibles when you fight the boss when the WAR MS it down so doesn't drop tank to 1 hp. Geo does full time precision, entrust haste geo frailty

That'd work but you're relying on a lot of variables and almost certainly looking at a scenario where your party is comprised entirely of LS members. You can do Intense D with a pickup group provided everyone knows the strategy.
Then you have to take into account your strategy relies entirely on 1-hours whereas D is a shorter fight and does not involve the use of, and subsequent resetting, of 1-hours.

Gl Sure but this all requires 1 hours. So you'd have to reset them after each run, which honestly would make it take a while longer to do runs of VD than to do runs of D. I'd rather spam Difficult than have to reset 1 hours each time. SO Easy!
Normal = Course NM, Suckga AOE stun Drains MP and stuff should be able to VD it with 3 DD geo whm Did pop a Ghost add near 10% mark Intense = Not as easy Main NM Takes 0 damage until adds are killed with Melee damage as Magic seems to do little Soulflayer Main NM Blue mage does Delve UBLM spells. imps typical Amnesia and Silence crud but over all should be np if meds and out of range for some moves Lakshmi.Buukki

Yawn from ES BA high macc BLU did not work. Resisted on every monster.
Soulflayer seemed pretty weak. Seemed to be affected by GEO bubbles this time, Vex+Attune helped a lot with Amnesia, Frailty+Dia adequate (at least on N) to allow me to kill the imps quickly, then the Soulflayer himself was easily disposed of afterward and seemed to either have very small defense or a DT+% trait.

At some point, Master does a full dispel. Not sure which move triggers it. All I saw was an imp used Enervation, and I lost everything.
Moves used by Imps: Potent Lunge, Diamondhide, Enervation, Aeroja, Overthrow. |
