[PSO2:NGS] Clowning in Dark Falz Solus w/ Hybrid Braver; Schizo Gameplay & Public Party Experience

This is as raw as it can gets when it comes to clearing DF Solussy with public party. Aka, the random (JP) players you will never know what becomes of them, whomst you have to trust in for the next 15 minutes. The 2 Wa and 1 Katana Br, you have my thanks.
Hey, hey, ARKS. I'm surprised that you still find this retarded video after seeing Slayer, Waker, Bouncer, Hunter (!), and Ranger (!!!) mains have managed to solo the boss, and NGS content creators / organized gangs be showing you how "proper runs" should look like. And here's me, attempting to bring something different to the table, only to realize that it's already a Vi Lost Zulul against the RUclips algorithm and just being a Braver.
Yes, that damned class where katana literally does most of the job and bow exists only if you know how & when to use it. Oh, how low and falsely perceived it has become these days. Can't complain about that lmao.
Dark Falz Solus (Sign of Planetbreaker in Global | Omen of Extinction in JP using fan patch) is a pretty exhausting yet enthralling fight. This American-sized catastrophe is probably THE "NGS Expert Matching Filter", cooked by the same company that brought you Leciel Exploration, V2 update shenanigans, years long of class imbalance, and end-game fashion show. Expect no mercy, bullshit frame cucks, constant aggression, and "massively, overlappingly" attacks from the first phase of the boss, followed by your focus check from the 2nd phase til the end.
Pray to god that the other 3 randoms have finished their makeshift gears from malding in Leciel. People will now start questioning their sanity: whether they are truly surrounded by idiots who are plagued by their ego, or being apartheid by unending imbalance state of class & weapons.
Truthfully speaking, I cleared it a couple times with the bois I've been playing ever since. Once in the pub, too. The plan on having them to help carry the run for a vid backfired when I got interrupted by phone calls, ganked by a small fly, and proceed to tilt into the face of the Earth from guilt tripping myself of "how much time they have to waste on me simply for non-existing clout."
This run is what's left of me, after many attempts at ARKS RNG. Truly a punished Braver Argus moment right here; a broken man. The moment I realized that I have less than 6 hours left to sleep before engaging in capitalism acts, and that my 3 years of NGS Braver gameplay... is still not enough in the grand scheme of things.
We just have to keep going. Adios~

[@ShaleTheRed]

Nice!! I like the fact that you really took the time to master Braver in both melee and range. It was fun watching you!!

[@CherikoSol]

I like seeing people make the most out of unoptimal class setups. I'll always find them infinitely more interesting.

[@delightXD]

Very impressive play, good job!

[@AA-fp7md]

Congrats!!!!! Skill issue is more you dying than getting hit but hey, good way of conditioning yourself. The overlapping in phase 1 always makes me panic and die. I need to take it slowly when that happens. I am in the hyperbolic time chamber with this boss as a fighter dagger (very fun with *sigh* low damage) and it is going decent. Been doing it solo for now until I'm comfortable with the boss.

[@Argus_PSO2]

Yeah, it takes a while to get used to all of those screen clutters. It's a lot to ask for considering how much Braver has to rely on countering and good attack anticipation. You just have to risk it all or nothing.
Whiffing a single attack is either getting you closer to death, or just outright whiffing almost 1k Potency attack sequence. If anything, there were lots of my poor PA/Skill judgement, too. But hey, it's just a matter of time spending in there lmao.

[@AA-fp7md]

@@Argus_PSO2 ah the whiff is too much for me 😭. Thanks for the motivation 😁

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

@@Argus_PSO2 ah was gunna say im ship 3 and swore i saw ur character yesterday

[@Argus_PSO2]

Huh... oh well, all my chars are in Ship 8 of JP server. I used to dip my toes into Global side once, but it didn't work well for me.
Some people seem to prefer my characters' aesthetic over the more impressive others, and some could try to name the char as any of mine. It happens, I guess.
But one thing is probably certain: my Braver gameplay is borderline insane, questionable, and un-optimal as hell compared to most. It shows in all of my vids. So yeah: hi there.

[@Nomadic_Gaming]

@@Argus_PSO2 yeah they had a dead look alike but good to know there are non global servers

[@moneyspider2172]

Dark Falz fatty...

[@gkagara]

It's not a surprise for braver or slayer even with sub optimal setting this class is way ahead of other class, , but I doubt you can do it with Techter or plain ranger and made it in time in solo run.
Techter dps is still as bad as ever and ranger is just useless up close you end up repositioning all the time.
The biggest advantage of Slayer and Braver is their weapon action activation it's literally 100% hit while other class may miss.

[@Argus_PSO2]

Sometimes I blame SEGA for giving katana its PA finisher and counter plus. Sometimes, I think katana would be nothing without it today. "Be careful of what you wish for" is such a surreal statement after the complaints back then.
I wish Braver could be better, especially the bow and its copium state. Hell, I wish ALL of the classes & weapons that aren't Slayer or Waker are better than now. There's nothing we can do until SEGA announce something about it on roadmap or its 6-months update schedule.
As a side note, I still have to give a lot of credits to Techers and Rangers I've met in either pub runs or clear with my pals. Their buff are just invaluable, and there are too many nitpick stuff to talk when it comes to optimal play and such.
Speaking of the solo attempts, the DPS number required through the whole fight is too damn high. It's unfeasible for other that's not Slayer or Waker, even with the best gears. Even with current Leciel Standard Gears (TM), I can clock at 3.8-4k, but you need 5.1-5.2k. Phase 2 attacks RNG, too!
Being good is just not enough. Having good gears is also not enough. You need to play the Better Class, or pray that you AND the other 3 dudes do their jobs. That might change once we get better gears and higher level....
It's just... it's just "not now".

[@kyokusanagi9800]

Meanwhile in JP the "bad classes" like Ra, Bo, Te rocking 5-6k DPS on the hands of jp players who mastered the classes, while the people who put hashtags on their profiles to "save" classes instead of getting better at them say: "class bad only SL and BR and WA can play content now". Lemme guess its the same people who puts dread keeper, gua triplble and exdi gua on their units.

[@gkagara]

@@kyokusanagi9800 I am sitting at respectedly 154.8 potency so no I don't use dread Keeper or anything you mentioned, I am a Ra Hu, depend on what you play, in duel quest I can easily get to 10k dps, but this little is no duel quest.
It is impossible for this one to get to that high as you mentioned because how the boss work, if you can't admit that this underwhelming class is bad then you never played one and only see speed runner doing things, most people is not speedrunner you mofo, most people is casual and they play 2 hours a day so yes the most interesting class always be brain dead class like braver and slayer, because how easily they're to master, in comparison to other class.
Try to play techter if you ever get to 3000 fighting solus you're probably among 1% to already dwindling population of techter.
Never assume your player base is skilled speedrunner that's recipe for disaster.

[@gkagara]

In team play you need at least 3000 to clear this one or else you will be carried, Bow is underwhelming for Braver, seriously it needs a buff however braver kinda expected to play bow with a katana and at least one of your weapon is good, most people is not as skilled in their class and this also put other weapon in disadvantage.
Wand is absolutely hard to use, it is short range, the PA is not that good, doesn't hit as hard it also have hard time chasing down enemies, the chase mechanism somewhat being fixed with wand attack move advance but the baseline damage still low, the weapon is unbelievably busy for a support class, wand have same action per minute as a gunblade/katana yet it yield lower reward overall, it's stuck with same PA since the beginning of the game while others class get one new additional weapon PA, wand is designed as melee weapon unlike rod it doesn't have tech boost potency it's incredibly difficult to use and complicated.
So it's either follow up with wand ridiculousness or choose sub class that will give you advantage like bouncer boots or straight out being Katana Te Br.

[@gkagara]

@@kyokusanagi9800 also none of the floor potency matter now, bruh it's 100% critical chance you don't need deft, in case you just wake up from your slumber, time to see new weapon deals giving middle finger and say Frick floor potency, you rocking Tisah or something? Tisah is out of question due to how rare it is to even find even if I have money I don't see the weapon on the market let alone for everyone to use it, to expect entire server to use it just dumb.
your statement is embarrassment for humanity just delete it.
