I used Bellona, Dizzy, Angelica, and Baiken. Baiken did nothing and could have been replaced with any other DPS. I focused the crystal first and killed is ASAP. It needs to die and it needs to die fast. Then I got one of the adds to low health and switched to the boss. And when it rezzed an add I just killed it ASAP.
The reason why Dizzy is so OP is because the miss chance on the boss effects the stun chance. So you have a 50% chance to just...ignore the entire mechanic of the fight. And it also makes the adds do no damage.
For Artifact, I find Etica's Scepter to be the best for her. It's not good in PVP, but in long fights like abyss it can mean you're constantly pushing back the boss and adds so it rarely gets a chance to go.
Didn't have Erica's Scepter. I mola'd up Dizzy swapped out Lidica for Baiken and did it on my 6th try. The key was actually not using souls for Angelica's 4 turn immunity and instead saving them to use Arky as soon as there was a respawn. Relied on Dizzy's crit down to mitigate debuffs.
I was trying to tank it out but you're right was easier to take down the crystal and keep it down. I was forced into that when Angelica got stunned to start the fight.
Baiken actually did wonderful damage, was better than Lidica and could take care of the stone if it didn't heal first with an S2 -> S3. Landed some real big detonates on the boss too.
Thanks for the tips. I tried Iela Violin to take out the barrier and debuff immunity but it wasn't consistent enough and Sira Ren was occasionally sleeping the adds which was nice.
A lot of RNG though, kind of a ridiculous fight.
Edit: Finished 84 with the same team, what a joke, he didn't even get his special off. Also beat floor 85 first try as well. Dizzy held the crystals in stun the entire time and extended Luna's defense break. Baiken does crazy detonate damage with bleeds all extended.
tl;dr Dizzy is a powerhouse and I've cleared Abyss 81-85 all in one try except 83 since I finished building her. Amazing how wrong the hot takes were on her, easily the new OP unit.
My gear is a hot mess on Dizzy too, built for pure speed until I get better accessories that actually go well (using a neck with crit chance as main stat and ring with health).
It's totally worth getting, you can only buy it once per month anyway though.
If you're low on brave crests, yes, save up for the 4* phantasma first. The month is long enough for you to buy some other things too though.
Always buy the seeds first. Can't grow them, but you can always grind out dogs.
