Part 135




Update 81



This is the best ring.
Who cares if it gives no discernible stat bonuses, ONE MORE TURN ICON. That is awesome.




How convenient.


Seraph has pretty much full stats by now. Can't get much more broken than that, I think.

And after mastering even Shiva's mantra, this is to be attmpted.

This is Vishnu. (Youtube)
He is much less of an asshole than Shiva. (Viddler)
His dancing is inferior, though (Veoh)

As Shiva, Vishnu is a gimmick fight. As Shiva, he switches affinity. Unlike Shiva, he doesn't do it EVERY turn. And you can control what affinity he will us next.

So, you need to have a bunch of different skills. EXAMPLE: For the Fire and Ice affinities, you cannot use either. You could use Electricity, Force or Earth (or at least Earth always in those two, I think Fire is resistant to Force), if in Ice, he will be shielded against Fire, and healed by Ice. You don't want to hit Vishnu with a Mind Charged attack that heals him.





Well there it goes. Vishnu!






Yeah, I have no idea what he is talking about.

Adharma Wikilink

Well that is slightly more enlightening.



Vishnu is lss assholish. By far. Also, considerably more easily countered. Since he will use elemental attacks, slapping Null Element on Seraph makes this battle relatively painless.
Also using Almighty at any point against Vishnu is not a good idea.




Vishnu's main attacks are Dyne level spells, again, countered VERY easily with Null Element. You can see how he reacts to most things on the video.






Aw, the destroyer was already destroyed.
On the other hand, what has happened so far kind of counts, doesn't it?






Rakukaja is definitely a good idea in this fight.



THIS is Vishnu's ultimate attack. Not horribly bad if charged and debilitated. But it hits several times, so healing is DEFINITELY reccomended after it. I don't think he will ever do it twice in a row, though. That would be bad for both Gale and Argilla.





Didn't mention it, but Seraph also is equipping Phys Absorb. Okay. There it goes.





Welp.





Pandemonium is a bullet. Stronger even than Magatama.









Excellent.




This is an awesome ring.
Unfortunately it is CONSIDERABLY less awesome than the ring Shiva provided.
BEHOLD.



Ayup.



Yep.


Sure.




Indeed.


Of course.



Useless for Seraph. Not worth removing the other two. Cielo or Roland could use it, though.






Holy shit expensive.
Will have to take at least two floor sixes for this one. ANd that just to buy it.



Meanwhile, this one was mastered.

NEXT: Back to fifth layer.
