So, I just decided to try fighting the tank again after my last post about it. Tried to make use of all the advice I’d gotten to see if it’d be any less frustrating.
Took the Phenmor as my primary, brought Jade for flight, made a new preset on my Corufell as a fallback, and… forgot about Primary Sure-Footed. The Phenmor was OK for breaking the weak points but not great. Maybe the Felarx or Corinth Prime would’ve been better.
I tried jumping more and even riding the tank. It kind of worked but I still didn’t like it. I think subsequent times I’ll just default to cheese weapons like the Corufell. On that note does anyone have suggestions for improving my heavy-attack spam build? I’m only ever going to use it against the tank, already I’m doubting Life Strike’s usefulness here.
The big one is to swap Life Strike for Corrupt Charge since it’s a free x2 damage. If you’re willing to play around with melee arcanes, for bossing specifically you can play with Exposure, Retaliation, and probably build around Doughty. Corufell is well worth your arcane adapter since it has a great Influence and later Duplicate build.
Thanks, I’ll make those swaps and see what I can do. Might be willing to spend some Forma too if I can get to the point of killing it really quickly with bazooka-mode.
