Ouch. While I've had some difficulties with some of the Ver. 2 and Bloodstained Seal bosses prior, none of it was really that major...that is, until I got to the Dual Hibachis. I only managed to get about 400-500k dmg done to both as I was being ripped to shreds, left with only my "tankish" types. It seemed to me that my survival simply relied on the luck of the draw with the attacks they chose to use...
I guess what I'm saying is, do you all have any advice for me to help me beat the Dual Hibachis? Here's my stat line:
Reimu LVL 162
Spoiler:
Meiling, 18F, Ran, Reimu, Aya, Patchy, Alice, Flandre, Youmu, Iku, Suwako, Sanae
Would bringing in Kaguya for this battle a good idea to take advantage of Hourai Barrage's ability to damage both Hibachis?
Any advice is welcome!
Thanks!
It looks like you have a lot more physical nukers than mag nukers in your line up.
Kaguya speeds up the battle a great deal, and with her I was able to do it underleveled.
The most important thing to know about the battle: after dealing 1m damage to either Hibachi, on its next turn it'll drop its hp down to 1, and after 4 turns it'll proceed into Berserk mode, which will likely destroy your party. If you happen to deal over 1m to both Hibachi at the same time, the one who gets its turn first will go to 1 hp. Killing either Hibachi will send the other into Berserk mode as well.
Kaguya's ability to hit both Hibachi greatly helps manipulate dealing with both of them. Ideally you sink the one that you can do less damage to (in your case probably the physical hibachi) over 1m (with Kaguya, you can evenly damage both of them, and tip one over 1m). After that, nuke the second one out with your physical attackers, then kill the original one with just one attack (as it'll still be sitting with 1 hp). Then, all you need is to kill the other HIbachi within 4 turns. (again, if you used Kaguya, you'll only have to do about 500k damage, and you can also kill both Hibachi in one spell)
If you do something like 18f 16f (nuker) Kaguya, you can use World Shaking Military rule, nuke twice, refresh with 16f, swap 16 in and out with 18 and nuker and then use 16f's refresh one last time, provided your party can withstand an attack from both hibachis. 4 Hourai Barrages will probably be enough to send one into critical if you have a mag Kaguya, and a 5th can kill both depending on Kaguya's level.
If you don't choose to use 16f (as I see she's not on your lineup), you'll probably need some more levels as you won't be able to Hourai Barrage quite as quickly. If the attacks are dealing too much damage before they go Berserk then leveling some more is probably your best option.
