Taifon bombardment and flames

  • Hi there,Haru player from Uriel server talking here,i came here to seek help on 2 highly annoying factors i encounter while doing raids:


    1) During the Kurisu fight (Bandit Highway i think it's called) there is this map-wide Taifon attack that deals around 15k per hit. I have Megiddon and so i can kind of spam dodges,but everytime i get hit at least by one of them. So i started using invincibility frames of SuperNova and the Sword-rain skill to avoid taking damage while still getting benefits. Of course i have to time it correctly,so i wanted to ask: is there a better way to avoid getting hit by those Taifons other than dodging?



    2) In Last Carnival there is the running (4th) room. I've tried dodging the flames,but half the time they just ghost-hit me,dealing damage without doing any sound or even making my char flinch. I've heard someone talking about "double-dashing",but they did not explain what it was. Can someone tell me what it is and if it does indeed avoid flame damage?

    Also it is normal that the chests just don't give anything sometimes?




    Thanks in advance




    Edit: Another annoying thing during Bandit highway is that without a party or an aggro-taker akasha you can't really do levers against Taifons in some rooms. Do you know any way of doing the levers without any help at all (not even akashas) ? I didn't try,but i don't think i can hit the Taifons before doing the lever.

  • 1. There should be barriers appearing during the mechanic but it is currently bugged? Bombs ignores iframes at all. There's a small blind spot on the left side near the entrace (the one with tires and bus) but it's too shallow you sometimes get hit by Kurisu or the bomb.


    You can see the barrier at 9:57,



    The small blind spot at 8:17 here




    2. Flames on the 4th room pierces through dodges, best way is to wait till the flame is gone before you pass on it (or there's some other trick on it that idk?). And yes the chest often gives nothing.


    You can check some notes on Last Carnival here.


    Hope this helps.

  • 1) Apart from the Blind-Spot at the Bus there is another one further into the arena at the left where two breakable cars are. Also you can prepare for the bombardment since it's triggered by Kurisus HP at ~19, 15, 10 and 5 bars so you can try luring him away from the safespots before lowering his HP far enough for the next bombardment.

    Thats possible, you just trigger the taifons, dodge the hit and immediatly activate the switch. Like this at 5:00:


    Also in the last room, it's possible to hit the Taifons through the red shield-thing. It's way easier to get the above method working there though since it's easier to see how and when they aggro.
