AUTOPATH Adventures | Kagemune Rank 3 - Octopath COTC

Описание: He really Bunshins my Biscuits!

Wanted to try a more complicated battle to see what I could pull off.
And oh boy is Kagemune difficult in AUTO!

Without Active Defense I just can't seem to get a team to survive into the later stages. Important to note that fairly soon into the battle he Dodges Group Attacks as well. For each Group or Random attack you do he punishes severely. Since I'm not sure how to control different skills during AUTO it seems Active Defense is hard to find...

For EX 1 at least, there is another hurdle to cross.
When he recovers from Break he Inflicts a Miss Phys Attack to the Front and Miss Elem Attack to the Back.
If you do try to attack he punishes hard per attack. Even on EX 1 the Damage just seems too much to bear.

There may be a couple ways around it.

It's possible to just have One or Two single attackers in the front. Meaning only a 2 x 2 Party. Not sure if the trade-off would make the difference.
Also could make a team better tuned to switching rows. Characters like Billy or Paula with their Switch Skills and Rinyuu EX might work.
As another player showed in their EX 3 clear a team comprised of Tanks may work.
Finally maybe a team dedicated to Fast Breaking could do it. Would help with his Bunshin Clones. If you could somehow consistently Break two Clones per his Bunshin move while surviving everything else then you've done the hard part!

Learned some things for AUTO

Sowan can do some really good work with support from Ori's 3BP Break Passive. If you can break consistently and/or have the Energy Allocation Artifact he is very self sufficient. Partitio's A4 is I think one of the more underrated A4s. There's a lot that can be done with that One extra BP. Also decent P.Atk and 100% Ailment Immunity All-In-One.
Sowan is also great for Defensive teams with his Passive.
For fights like Kagemune or Canalbrine 120 Agnea EX is at a disadvantage. Tatloch and/or Nephti are better for those.
I did seriously consider Yukes for this. If you can get his E.Atk high enough his Passive Regen and Random Buffs could make a major difference for difficult clears. Might use him for another fight.

I'm sure with enough time Kagemune EX 1 could be cleared now. A Lot of luck would likely be involved. Not to mention the time it would take.
If anyone is willing then best of luck!

I'm ok with Rank 3 for myself. I want to move on to other interesting fights.
Think I'll stay in Solistia.
