Jesus. I can't believe it. D.Odin is a no go so far.
Tried the wind-weak D.Odin for three hours with various combinations of the following:
- God Cloud (Everything) + Zack (CSB/BSSB)
- God Cloud + Super Zidane (USB1/USB2/LMR2)
- God Cloud + Super Bartz (AASB/USB2/AOSB/BSSB4/LMR)
- God Cloud, Zack, and Shelke dedicated Entrust-bot.
- Ignis BSSB
- Faris CSB/SSB
- Elarra USB (couldn't even get past 33% HP gone)
- Rosa USB2 + Aerith USB2
..And I can't win. By far my best element, and nothing but failure thus far.
Twice I was close, running into that P3 T10 auto-death Zantetsuken when I maybe another turn or two from winning. One time I ran into that same Zantetsuken around 50% when I couldn't break L3 Savage. BUt otherwise it's been brutal beatings after another. It's so hard to do
anything in this fight - damage is terrible, and I can't survive unless Shelke is entrusting to Aerith constantly, and that's
with Rosa backing her up! I had to go double healer just to get past 1/3rd HP gone!
There's a psuedo-poverty clear (no AASBs) for wind-weak D.Odin at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4A0WcHIq1WA that I can't even mimic since it clear hinges on Relm USB1 bypassing Cloud's slow ass as well as helping to mitigate incoming damage via Stone Skin. I'd consider trying that with Aerith USB2 in place of Relm USB1, but that wouldn't work well with all the entrusting, and Elarra won't save me from the 9999 AoEs unless I'm at full health. Aphmau USB won't save me from the damage either even if she can speed up everyone a la Relm. And while it was joked that Faris USB2 is a glorified SSB, it's actually vastly superior to her
actual SSB which is all I have for her for imperil, and that debuff her USB2 has is crucial for keeping the damage at bay here.
This is depressing. I mean, I guess since I was close I can win with more RNG? Perhaps an extra double cast from Cloud earlier in the fight? Or maybe a superior turn order, since looking at that "poverty" clear, he was getting waaaay more damage with Cloud than I was, even counting for Ignis.
