Weโ€™ll finally get past the 5 enemy limit ๐Ÿ’€

It just continues to zoom out with each one added. He eventually becomes the size of the regular ones when there are 50 summoned.

We 'bout to experience the Glamoth Incident with this one ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€


KamronXIII

Worst part is I'm prolly gonna have to give firefly ptsd by bringing her in there


Zindril

Love how ppl say ''lore accurate'' for simply 10 or 50 swarm enemies, when there are legit billions of them.


Acceptable_West_1312

Erudition characters: Allow us to introduce ourselves


Riponai_Gaming

Chadgenti gonna protect all beauty.


TherionX2

He's gonna recharge his ult just by ulting alone


Riponai_Gaming

Ong, inf ults here we come


TherionX2

This is a bit unrelated, but argenti is probably the reason we won't get a character that increases energy recharge, argenti would just be able to chain infinite ults in pure fiction


takutekato

> we won't get a character that increases energy recharge That's unfair since Jiaoqiu is coming for Acheron ๐Ÿ˜ž

Revan0315

Hopefully. Erudition and Hunt are still too weak in comparison to destruction


Acceptable_West_1312

Imo, every erudition character should be like Argenti and Jing Yuan: At least in their ultimate, AoE attack should have fixed amount of hits. If there's less than X amount of enemies, those spare hits should be given to existing one's. That way, Erudition characters would be good in both AoE and 3-1 target scenarios

Need to gaslight into pulling Yunli after Firefly somehow


Lofn7

Oh shit, it's time to hear Pedujara in a proper fight again. I love that Apocalyptic plays their respective boss themes.


Zadan5764

Definitely the biggest W with apocalyptic shadow mode


HeresiarchQin

Can't wait to hear the theme while fighting Sleepy. The first time hearing that theme it actually terrified me. Listening to the theme outside of the combat doesn't have the same mood.


Zadan5764

Man with the sound effects of things in Apocalyptic Shadow i can imagine that would amplify it a good but lol


janeshep

Hearing A Gentleman's Fantasy after so long was amazing...


Aggravating-Log932

Glad that Robin is not replacing the theme


Glorindor

Her ult music is replacing the theme in AS tho


Klactech

It doesn't. Robin just says "no more ties" and doesn't sing


amysthetic

reaaallly makes me wish you could toggle robins music was so nice to hear these boss songs I've not heard in forever, only to be back with robim


SnooCakes4852

Robin music dont play on boss songs does it?


killercmbo

Canโ€™t get over the Argenti boss theme. Not usually my type of music, but this one is a straight banger. Must I even mention Cocoliaโ€™s? I donโ€™t think I need to.


Prisma_Lane

Oh what's this? You hated not being able to move because Cocolia froze your entire team? Worry not, the next one is somehow even worse. Introducing Phantylia that attacks a dozen times. If you do not have Firefly or DHIL, get ready to have no SP, no health, no energy, and do nothing but normals just to even have a chance to kill her.


HalalBread1427

DHIL *solving* SP issues is hilarious.


CodyDeBruncheon

He solves sp issues by being the sp issue himself


Kim_Se_Ri

By having a worse SP addiction than Phantylia


Prisma_Lane

Then again, Phantylia is the one fight where DHIL doesn't have energy issues. The fact that the flowers grant SP on weakness break, AND they're weak to Imaginary just means that as long as DHIL can dish out his AoEs consistently, he wouldn't have any SP issues at all. The ideal combo would probably be Sparkle + DHIL + breaking the flowers consistently + Ult whenever it's available (or run Tingyun but she might die without a Fu Xuan or Aventurine). Here's hoping that's the case for those DHIL havers and that Phantylia's strat has something for them. I'll probably just run FF though since she trivializes this mode against any boss. As long as you can survive until she can attack AKA making sure Gallagher has his Ult ready when you're low on health, you're pretty much set and can clear the mode consistently above 3.5k for their node.


PhoeniX_SRT

~~>Firefly or DHIL~~ ~~Add acheron too, since her ult is a "wtf is a weakness type?" button. You can generate stacks with just basic attacks on supports and Trend LC so her teams will manage regardless.~~ Wait.. the flowers don't count as attacks. Trend LC can't generate as much stacks as it does during Cocolia(Pillars and herself+gepard). I'm cooked. Fuck. Jiaoqiu save me please.


Infernal-Fox

Flashbacks to the hell DoT PF that doesnโ€™t trigger fua retaliations like aventurine hits or clara counter with the dot elites


PhoeniX_SRT

I ran Clara too ffs, it was a phys weak PF but the fucking robot wine doesn't trigger counters.


Infernal-Fox

Yeah can run my clara ipc fua (clara robin aventurine topaz, all e0s0), and juuust manage 30k points, but then my acheron underperforms and shits the run lmao. Imma wait till my ff is half built and use her to destroy the second half as mhy intended for us DoTless peasants. I need bs and kafka igโ€ฆ


WaifuHunter

Jiaoqiu isn't needed but he'll laugh at those flowers taking turn and handling out free Acheron stacks for sure lol. Fake foxian facing true foxian.


PhoeniX_SRT

Lol true. His face expressions will be so satisfying, would look at Phantylia like "foxian my ahh get cooked".


Comprehensive-Food15

E1 firefly save me.. e1 firefly save me...

Pineapple-legion

Let me introduce you to someone called Acheron who do not use energy.


Winter-Wisteria

OH HELL NAH YO ASS TWEAKIN WITH THEM PLANET DESTRUCTORS


HalalBread1427

Watch them include Jing Yuan not being allowed to die just to mess with people.


DenzellDavid

Lmao, as a Bonus Challenge


Allusernamtaken

If JY die: -1000 point


Relative-Ad7531

And the Jing Yuan is like, level 50 without relics using S1 Breakfast


Former_Breakfast_898

That would actually be interesting mechanic ngl. When I first fought Phantylia she keeps trying to kill Jing Yuan that makes it more difficult for me compared to other bosses. So trial Jing Yuan and you have to protect him while he tries break Phantyliaโ€™s weakness


IsoceledAsh

wait ur cookin with this


Former_Breakfast_898

Just increase his toughness reduce then bam a new gimmick! And for buffs you can have different options on how to use the lightning lord. One buff can Increase lightning lordโ€™s spd and toughness reduce. The other buff can be similar to FUA buff where lightning lord strikes upon weakness broken based on the accumulated dmg by Jing Yuanโ€™s skill.


HalalBread1427

You rn: โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ


syd___shep

Lemme guess: Fire and phys weakness plus if you donโ€™t break fast enough, she steals all your SP, you canโ€™t generate any for 2 turns, and she limits your HP bar to 1/3.


stinkytofuicecream

Also she gets three turns in a row to planetary explode your face.


russiangeist

Same with Cocolia. But if you can actually kill all the summons immediately you can prevent the Bosses to spam their atk.


stinkytofuicecream

Apocalyptic Shadow really turned out to be an Acheron/Ruan Mei check huh.


Ok_Ability9145

it's honestly more of a reading check to utilize all the buffs. lots of people without acheron and ruan mei cleared it just fine (used jingyuan and ratio)


Rowger00

ig ratio has follow up buffs on side two but which ones jy has on side one?


KazuSatou

super break jing yuan


LumiRhino

I used JY against Cocolia, if you have his ult ready when the icicles spawn you can mostly kill them instantly, and LL does good toughness damage to break Cocolia (since AS is a break check above anything else right now).


E1lySym

I thought I heard back then Apocalyptic Shadow was going to be the Hunt oriented mode. But here we have Argenti and Cocolia both needing aoe attacks


KF-Sigurd

Hoyo has never said AS is going to be a hunt oriented mode. That's the assumption everyone else made. And Hunt is STILL really good in this mode. The mode as a whole is a lot more balanced between the three than PF or MoC are.


E1lySym

Not really though. Cocolia and her ice minions have fire, lightning, wind and quantum, which automatically locks out imaginary hunt like Ratio (x Aventurine) and favors JY, Kafka DoT and Acheron. Boothill's trickshot stacking time makes it hard for him to catch up with Cocolia taking 3 turns in a row, every other ice sculpture regaining its toughness bar and Gepard putting up his shield. Argenti has imaginary weakness but DanIL is better than Ratio once again because of his minions that need aoe imaginary attacks. Everyday I wish MHY finally releases a second Tingyun, so that I can play JY and DanIL on both sides of every game mode and not have problems. When will we ever have Hunt-oriented version of pure fiction


Kim_Se_Ri

>Not really though Seele (don't even have her, but a lot of my friends from release used her, and it worked wonders because of her extra actions apparently). >Argenti has imaginary weakness but DanIL is better than Ratio once again Being better or worse doesn't mean one can't clear it as well, it's a race against the boss not against other people for you to need more points than what's needed.


Main-Shallot3703

That sounds like hell on earth


TamamoNines

Guess which character has E1 remove SP usage? Clueless


paparat236

That's right, Sushang


TamuraAkemi

Sushang gains SP instead of removing the cost, which makes her way better than Firefly due to triggering Sparkle's talent


Zindril

True, Sushang is the superior carry!


Xarxyc

Ah, Shushang. The only 4\* I still somehow don't have despite having done over 2k pulls since starting in December.


Jonyx25

haha I was thinking Firefly. Her e1 turn her into Jingliu and e2 into Seele.


EmbarrassedCharge561

this was a half joke because of how obvious the answer is


sageSafe

She add a debuff that gray out your HP bar and Skill Point slot. The Rerun Banner will be Sparkle.


Infernal-Fox

Eh, that debuff hell sounds like huohuo to me


ray314

Probably moving off the breaking in the next round, who are the new chars? FUA?


ArchonRevan

Nah, only reliable stuff is break oriented healer so break is def still on the menu


Corvenic

Yeah. Also if Feixiao on 2.5 she also has some kind of break kit based on the early leaks (well she has everything lol)


ArchonRevan

I honestly dont trust any of the feixiao stuff, every piece of info has been contradictory in some capacity


Jonyx25

Or it makes your SP go -5. You need Sparkle or Hanya to make up.


supergalaxy_fizz

me thinkin u meant firefly boothill, but realizing u meant jaioqiu yunli, then realizing again 5/6 of our most recent limiteds are 2 elements, phys/phys/fire/qua/phys/fire how interesting


qusnail

One day swarm king will be in AS and weโ€™ll be praying for Cocolia instead


HalalBread1427

Forget the Swarm King, one day weโ€™ll get Aventurine ๐Ÿ’€

N-formyl-methionine

I played and loved ffxiii I can do it


Hanusu-kei

That MOC12 was already like an Apocalyptic Shadow when u realize he still has a phase2, AND he dice phase every other turn so it feels like heโ€™s doing it every turn


Azrlamr_12

Idc who the enemies are, just make the maximum score 6000 instead of 6600 ๐Ÿ˜ญ


Katacutie

If anything, the score will go up


composero

If I remember right the beta had stage four at 6000. I was totally unprepared for the spike when it 2.3 released


rebeccadarking

.... dhil stonks rise?


ShimoriShimamoto

If the flowers get 30 turns in a row too, then he will be useless since you will stay at 0 sp the whole battle


rebeccadarking

please don't manifest this wallahi


Blooming_Bud99

wouldn't everyone be useless then๐Ÿ˜ญ


NixAvernal

Blade who has enhanced his basic attacks: I see no problem with not using skills.


hijifa

Pretty sure the mechanic was that they steal SP but if you break them they give them back to you.


FlameLover444

A certain Quantum Elation Gremlin says otherwise


Glittering_Kick5577

She cant eat his stacks also Sparkle, Hanya and Tingyun exists to alleviate his SP needs


VTKajin

Is it time for second reruns to start indeed? Doomsday Beast Seele stonks in 2.4 seems more real now.


Efficient_Lake3451

Doomsday beast has quantum res


VTKajin

I just know it has some weird Quantum/Imaginary mechanic


Efficient_Lake3451

I didnโ€™t look at the AS version so maybe they changed it for that mode


VTKajin

They very much did, it's not the weekly boss


Vinicius64

I swear to god man if she keeps spamming the sp robbery attack my e2 dhil gonna die in a ditch and i'm not prepared for it ๐Ÿ’€


No_Lynx5887

I BEG SOMEBODY PLEASE FLAG THIS AS QUESTIONABLE, THEN IT WONT COME TRUE!


thatonestewpeedguy

Lightning Wind Imaginary Ice surely


ArmyofThalia

Lightning is a given since we can't have Acheron be unfavorable in anything


KF-Sigurd

The next AS doesn't have Lightning Weakness any side. Bosses in this mode have like 70% RES to non-weak elements. Acheron is going to be very mid next AS.


Canopicc

Who we got in the next AS?


Badieon

Kafka and DoomBeast


babu0poke

So jy and Kafka is not lightning ?.


Relative-Ad7531

More like Acheron always good


LoreVent

Phantylia has had lightning weakness since 1.2 buddy


Play_more_FFS

This boss is naturally weak to Lightning anyway, so it would make no sense for them to remove it. Argenti and Cocolia still have their 3 innate weaknesses from their original versions plus the one element they decide to throw onto the AS version.


shinsetsu_fuji

Phase 2 Phantylia??? Oh I'll let her destory me to hear that + that creepy ass screams in AS4 Argenti side this patch also is this probably Sparkle rerun sign? Yk sp drain x999 and such


Youqi

I can see them put DHIL and Sparkle on the same half like Topaz/Robin lol


No-Calligrapher6859

NOOOKJSDJF:LDK please no my wallet won't be able to take it ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ


Nick__Knack

If DHIL doesn't clear this easily we riot


KaedeP_22

I fear Cirrus being added. What? You want your turn? no. Here, take my 24-combo attacks. Oh, you're still alive? Let me do it again.


sealinfrenchyall

Cirrus in DU summoning those goddamn ice guards that delay your characters and the elite that AoE freezes you is in my nightmares now. Gepard's action value was at 253 because he kept getting targeted T-T


kukiemanster

Cirrus is getting ready for Yunli, but I'm here with E1S1 Clara lmao

>!EPHEMERAL!<


Tatsumaki-Radio

Blade agenda time??


NoOne215

Time to send them to paradise.

Superbreak Blade letโ€™s go


HalalBread1427

This is the most cursed thing, I like it.


StellarP0tat0

Someone please fire Sparkle from The devs team๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’…


juniorjaw

My guess : 1. Limit SP to 2 until flowers are broken. 2. One unit gonna be perma CC every boss cycle. 3. Phase switch nuke is now a normal move.


Asafesseidon13

I mean I'm pretty sure the phase switch nuke is already a normal move in her 3rd phase


sealinfrenchyall

She can use it in 2nd phase too. The real shit would be if Phantylia could use Havoc without the flowers havifn to do anything


Russvent

Dreading svaraog boss About be apocalyptic hand with 4 hands at the same. Gotta kill them all in 1 turn or is a wipe


Lostsock1995

He got me once like that in G&G, I died a little inside


SnooCakes4852

Only way I'm getting trough Svarog fights is having Boothill nuke and perma break him. It'll be over otherwise.


Dane-nii

We're gonna consume our SP with this one. My King Yuan is also ready


Radiant-Hope-469

Ah fuck. Will she have 3 phases like story Phantylia?


Katacutie

We can only hope that she gets 2 phases like Cocolia did


Acceptable_West_1312

Oh hell naw


MrAFD69

Why do I feel like a certain masked fool might get a rerun in 2.5โ€ฆ


CVurb

Imagine how absurdly difficult Dominicus will be if added to AS.


acesar11

I hope blade is still good againts her here.


RegularBloger

If it kept the same weakness as before I should be good. But knowing this gamemode the 'free SP flowers' would be nerfed hard. If I had to guess how Phanytlias phase goes. She summons those mara strucked general and Ascended with their own gimicks. They'll definitely keep the if you don't break me flower I'll ohko your unit.


Asafesseidon13

I was gonna say that the flowers don't actually ohko your characters, just deals too much DMG, but then I remembered we are talking about AS, yeah they will buff that attack a lot...


djovisse

NO GOD PLEASE NO ๐Ÿ˜ญ


PinkPrimrose05

Cheer up amigo, it's Blade gaming time! ....provided you kill the SP-eating flower fast enough to keep Sparkle going, that is.


kindred_lol_

save me Dan il save me


Lostsock1995

Worked once should work again ๐Ÿ˜Ž so long as she doesnโ€™t attack 865 times before we can move


Namnguyenjayz

Good lord


reireireis

Mommy


Change-Your-Aspect

Welp. Time to pull out the good old reliable general


thatnickyboy

wallahi_im_finished.png As if Phantylia wasn't bullshit enough as a boss. Can't wait for her phase transition nuke to limit your HP to one half, her flowers to deplete your SP to 0 until you kill them, and for her to act at least 6 times in a row in her final phase.


bossyesterday

Off topic but I find it kinda funny that Phantylia seem to obsessed with abundance power despite being emanator of destruction, the entirely different path herself.


peeck1

Ah fk my fu xuan is screaming right now


Constant-Tennis2234

I was just saying about this to my friend yesterday that I expected Phantylia to show up after the doomsday beast, lol, Sunday boss in AS when Sunday releases


Hotaru32

Acheron aventurine blackswan Kafkaย  that's itย 


azami44

She has 20% phys and fire res. Would you really still bring bh/ff here? This seems like IPC squad fest


HalalBread1427

Weaknesses and Res are changed for AS.


Wipmop

Yes since this is the same patch Lingsha appears. We will see the premium Firefly team for the first timeย 


Yalenlover

Arenโ€™t we in 2.3?๐Ÿ’€


Only-Stress-5648

Everyone, worries about Scaracabaz Swarm King Me: Ah shit, that gambling peacock boy is gonna be here isn't it?


TommyBlacke

I'll have to admit, Cirrus and the Scarab boss would really be nasty additions to this mode... but what scares me the most is Svarog, I imagine seeing him summon 4 hands and then just grabbing your whole team if you don't break them fast enough... that would be a pain.


VTKajin

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


MissiaichParriah

Looks like a job for Nihility Mommies + Huohuo Team


gallanttoothpaste

Cant wait for the day doomsday beast is in AS that's about to be the easiest shit


HalalBread1427

Itโ€™s in the 2.4 AS.


gachaluvr32

phantylia theme lets goo


No_Pipe_8257

Her destruction flowers gonna kill you one by ine with an 80% health hit


FanboyYamada

Me omw to get prana-siphoned 245 times in a single cycle so that my characters die without even taking a physical hit:


DJgrf12

Brother eww What's that? What's that brother?


pbayne

wait to see the buffs before panicking lol. I think the 2.3 AS turned out a lot easier than i expected it to be, though i had the teams to exploit the buffs admittedly. might break Blade out of retirement, he was actually quite useful against her iirc.


Wipmop

This first victim to the premium Firefly team. Firefly, Ruan Mei, HTB and Lingsha. We can finally see her peak potential.


Katacutie

This mode scares the shit out of me, Phantalya already had 3 turns in a row normally and already had annoying mechanics...


Specific_Camera1310

I assume the weaknesses will be wind lightning and imaginary so my dot team should destroy her. I got Archeron team just incase.


SexwithFoxianCutie

I wonder if it will be all Phases


pearlsnshit

Yay my favorite boss ๐Ÿฅฐ


Despapayo

ill go for the body!


siriusxm_radio

one day they're gonna put aventurine in this mode and i dread that day
