Ailment-Reactive Bosses

Crowd Control, basically mean Flinch, Tumble, Stun.

 

Sure

 

A bit info for some boss
Pillar golem will do the fist slam whenever flinched or tumbled (it have to get close if it tumble) also gain high armor until the red mode wears off.
Tyrant will regain some health if flinched above 25% or tumbled under 25% (flinch is important when health got low,learned this on hard way)
Mozto always counter stun no matter how low the health goes down.
If i recall correctly,stunning Imitacia will cause stun to entire pt (altho its not instantly,so I-frame can save you)

If event bosses counts:
Megiston: Guard decreases a lot when inflicted with freezes
Titeres (dunno if this considered as one): Recovery anim is actually longer than the duration (Completely stunlocked this doll with my tank knuck)
Hero potum: Attack changes depending on ailment inflicted

 

Nah Tyrant only regain HP if you let him do that(One of his move, slow circle red zone). Flinch and Tumble is actually crucial in order to stop him from using that.

 

My memory is kinda not good atm,but afaik when i flinched him above 25%,it just instantly use the said atk,but not when its hp got low
Gotta test it later once im free

 

Well i did gem run Tyrant and lvling at him a lot so im sure of that, though Flinch does make him eva for a while and counter with slow trap(Not much dmg but affect GSW/Brave User), so it's not a good idea to spam it. Tumble also make his def raise, so.. in order to kill him faster, only interrupt him when he want to heal.

 

Tested it,he does his heal atk when flinched but it spawn spikes instead of heal
Guess im drunk

 

Mostly coz they both have the same animation

 

boss roga increase guard when flinched, tho tumble is fine

 

Armor break and Paralysis removes it.

 

Recently, i went to lvl in Maton Sword Nightmare. When it activated the super defense (damage 1), I use paraliys with Pommel Strike but the ailment effect for do damage, doesnt work. The same with Stop for Lances. Both ailments doesnt work. Maybe was a bug or Iam bug XD. I played 5 rounds in NM and ailment doesnt work.

 

There is a small phase between its high def phase (Which needs ailment) and its low def phase, during this phase it gets 800def on normal mode, on nm mode it becomes 3600 attack so you really need finale, dtooth or armor break from snipe if you want to deal any damage to it. Once you beat that phase then you need to use stop/paralysis on its mega def phase.
Its complicated but trust me just invite halberd dtooth users to party, there is no other easy way to beat maton on nm mode.

 

I see, so the problem was that i forgot the high def in NM Xd. My wrong.
I need try again, because i used tenryu with 1400 atk XD

 

Yes, If you are katana user you will need 2100+ atk to dent maton on nm mode. Also pardon me it would be 3200 def on nm not 3600

 

Or use garyou...

 

Yes, was my wrong. Many mathematics and forgot this.
Thats right, recently change my bs dex str with garyou and tenryu , ty nwn/

 

Consecutive Zanteis, especially when Maton unleashes that global Physical AoE with 30 freaking seconds of Ignite as the cherry on top can work too...

 

If you flinch Tyrant Machina, His evasion becomes 100% and he does aoe spikes that slows you down. Pretty sure that happens at all health ranges

 

bump so it doesn't die
(is this considered necro)

 

How do you @ a mod to pin this thread? The threads that are pinned are just links to outdated/deleted guides and its pretty annoying
