Trick for Pugging a Card Run:
- After you gather your mixed stew of people make an alliance.
- Put people that can do the more difficult objetives in the main PT and shove the riffraff in the 2 extra PTs.
- After entering disband the alliance and have the 2 extra PTs fill their ranks with trusts. (toggle PT leads to summon trusts asap)
- This way the extra trusts can help on WS objectives and keep random ppl alive.

Anybody having issues with the SC objectives? Went on a duo card farm and every time we got 1/2 on SC despite doing like 20 SC within time limit. We tried pretty much everything: different mobs (i.e. not multiple on same mob), different element/tier, multi-steps and with trusts/players opening/closing. Still failed to get last one every time.
easiest way to do it is flip back and forth with weak ws and lv1 weapons, like shining blade > burning blade > shining blade > burning blade > etc..(favor elemental bc they cant miss)
Question about the 30k damage.
Mnk and pup have h2h which can do added effect and reduce remaining Hp down to 1%
Anyone know if this counts toward objectives?

it shouldn't, 30k is ws damage not melee

O.o;
Does this actually work?
Yes, you could only summon as many trusts as open spots in the alliance. If you have 2 full PTs, the entry will say "You could summon up to 6 trusts" but you'll have to disband the alliance and go with just normal PTs with 5 or less people to summon.
Tested last night with my buddy and yea definitely a nice little "trick" (despite the ingress stating you can summon x amount of trusts on entry, I was not aware of this til this thread)
Edit: definitely gonna use this to my groups advantage here on out. Be great for all non boss floors

the SC objective(complete 1-6 skillchains) is worded poorly, you need that many continuous skillchains on the same mob

Yeah, the Scission/Detonation and Liquefaction/Scission endless loops are the best for doing continuous chain objectives. Transfixion/Compression loop also works.
Scission/Detonation covers most of the common weapon types ppl bring to omen (Gsword, Sword, Dagger). Liquefaction/Scission includes Marksmanship and Archery.
Stick w/ the weakest WS's and go to town on a Transcended.
Read somewhere that herc slash can do the continuous sc but have not tested/tried yet, is this true?
Edit spelling

Herculean Slash will do Impaction > Detonation and stop there. The fourth use won't produce any further skillchains.
Is there a continuous sc I can do on drk? Assuming access to sword, great axe, scythe and great sword (minus scourge) and dagger?
Crescent Moon > Freezebite > repeating on GS
Can also do AE over and over for dagger

Do we get AE without odd subjob?

Fast Blade <-> Red Lotus Blade
Vorpal Scythe <-> Nightmare Scythe
Hard Slash <-> Freezebite
Fell Cleave <-> Fell Cleave
Do those all loop as well? O.o feel incredibly ignorant if so.
Quick question have we confirmed if HP scales with more people than 6 enter?
It does NOT scale and was even said so by SE. The only official drawback is having to share your loot with more people.
The real drawback is that Omen zone gets cramped with mules and makes you go insane from the lag.

It's Seraph Blade and Red Lotus Blade, Flat made makes Fusion off RLB.
Double Thrust <--> Penta Thrust is another one.
Another one seems to be continuous Aeolian Edge I think. (confirm please)
Likely to kill your trans mob tho before you reach a 6x Skillchain

AE works but need to lock gear otherwise everything melts.

*Edit: Don't forget to use Defender and take off Berserk.
Burning > Herculean for Fusion as well.

How do you guys deal with Kyou at 25% and below? My group setup is PLD GEO GEO BLU WHM BRD. One GEO always does VEX+Attunement. Everyone has holy water.
For 3 times now, Kyou would do Unfaltering Bravado at 25% and then follow that with Interference and Meteor within a short time. Sometime he also does the AoE curse move follow by Interference and meteor which cause much problem for our setup.

Scherzo, SV Dark Carols and indi-fade all make kyou easier if you are having trouble with spam.
You can also use Poseidon's Ring to help soak up Bravado damage.

Bolster Fade turns him into a kitten, even with a Dunna. As long as you can coordinate for Bravado, Meteor and Interference do trivial damage with that up. Honestly, I don't find attunement/vex to be reliable enough on the bosses to be worth using.

He shouldn't need the ring due to having two geo and two pets. Just iron man through it with fade and it's a cakewalk
Easiest way is don't feed tp, turn around after bravado for a sec, also having a non HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE whm helps.
I've seen people mentioning completing the floor objective during the time limit for limited objectives. Was it stated somewhere that this actually increases card count? Was a test conducted to support this? The ingame text doesn't indicate that floor objective is tied to the timer, and I've gotten cards for finishing floor objective even after the timer expired.
I generally complete 11/11 objectives when not going the Ou path, and am rewarded with 3 cards(6 during event, ofc). People are talking about getting 8, is the difference just from finishing the floor objectives slow or are all the 8 card runs on Ou path?
