Code name Baalride Counter

  • So i'v been wondering. Have done Baalride on multiple difficulties, but never actually managed to counter his AoE (rather weak attack really, that's why never bothered to ask before) attack. It gives you bar on screen with ''Counter'', but attacking or using akasha cards doesn't seem to do anything and he seems resistant to any damage durning the phase. What are you supposed to do to counter his attack?


    Is this a bug?SWScreenShot_20180614[15-57-41].jpg

  • if i remember correctly i used to just get far away from him (i usually fight bosses near edges of their arenas, so i would just get to the opposite side) and i wouldn't get damaged when his charging finished and the attack was released. I'm not 100% sure to be remembering correctly though,since it has been quite some time that i don't do candus dungeons and i usually just killed him before he tried to charge the attack. I've never tried dodging it though,maybe that can work?


    Anyway yes,i suppose it is a bug,like the safe zones not appearing during grace's raid boss a while ago.

  • tried any skills of lily on him with all my reroll since beta and still dont know how this works

    I am pretty sure i canceled him with my team 1 time but i dont know if it was a bug or something we did cause we was unable to replicate it

    And sometimes you get damage even if you put baalride in a corner and run in the opposite corner of the room.

    I should try the break armor item maybe

  • I most likely lean towards this being a bug.

    Either that, or the instructions were not translated properly, although this hypothesis seems quite unlikely.

    :haru4:

    Rora-Mohan , does destroying his super-armor interrupt the attack ? If so, you and your team might have just destroyed his super-armor and cancelled his skill that way.

    If that wasn't the case then you've probably managed to increase the counter bar through some means, and I'd like to know if that indeed happened (if you remember of course).

    i think the bar was really near breaking he did animation and we interrupt him but not sure it was some weeks ago, but definitly never saw the bar > 0.0 %

    you cancel it when you break his super armour, it's like that on every boss

  • yeah but did you already tried to do baalride ? Nope

    Because he is not like any other boss

    At a specific moment of the battle he stand still, unvulnerable and channelling a powerfull attack for like 5-10 seconds and everywhere on. The room you get hit, if you jump or dodge its the same.

    A loading bar appear at the same time labeled "counter" 0.0%

    Thats our problem

    Hmm and you cant damage super armor while he is channelling it will be way easier

  • I'm sorry I might miss that he is different from other boss. When i was farming to lv25, I always cast t3 hidden grutin to him and he just die like that

  • yes you can kill him befire he did it , i mostly do it with my hidden rita but the point in this topic is not to find out how to kill baalride but how to cancel his attack cause it says in tchat that you can cancel him by doing a special attack

  • I honestly wondered how this would have worked... Ffxiv has the same mechanic, however, you need to kills adds fast before the bar reaches 100. If it reaches 100, it wipes the whole raid or alliance so more or less a DPS check.

  • I break it again today ! it makes an animation this time with a sound like a glitch in an electric charging thing, but he still was at 0.0 % i think the bar is just not showing, what did i do ? i just spam every spell i could (was in normal by the way on a lily with an iris as a mate and she used her rocket when it does that)

    It's pretty much broken mechanic that is still not fixed.


    Abandon ye hope...
