EDIT: A patch has been pushed out now and this bug that made the soundwaves invisible should now be fixed. So it's been reported there is a visual bug right now where the Blue and White waves do not show up, so you can't see which direction it is facing. That's... super annoying. My advice is to try find some old JP runs of the raid and watch where they show up and try to memorise them... You can also try memorise the skill description. There's a more complicated way of knowing which way the Blue/White way is facing by looking closely at the centre organ. The organ has a black side and a white side, and there is a strict order in which waves come out on either the black or white side. You can check the order in Greg's skill descriptions in game or on schale.gg. Hopefully they fix this because it's kinda a big deal. Not being able to just react to the waves visually makes the raid far more difficult than it should be.
Oh ok I was wondering why I couldn't see any of the color symbols and was going nuts... A bug... Hope they fix this very soon because it's impossible without seeing what you're doing...

This is absolutely incredible Causew, thank you for all your hard work in compiling the best Total Assault resources out there!! This is such a great help for fighting one of the most complicated bosses in the game, and I am infinitely grateful that you've put this together in both video and written form on your google doc resource!
well then as JP already proved we soon get YET another boss who NEEDS new students (sonic damage). Really takes much from flexibility or pulling for waifu , gotta go with meta a bit sadly this round.
for my experience is the debuff its self the problem. Minori its kinda tradeablenfornother unit that do thebse role as Maid Yuzu UE 40 for me and Nagisa. and Having Aru for more AoE dmg is handy too. yo yea S saki is core for me
I don't think minori is the core solver, she is just accelerating the progress. If there's any student I can call core, it would have been Koharu for keeping your tank and dps alive while turning organ and major debuffer like Saki or Mine, especially saki for enabling special students to dps.
best vid guide. only watched once and i immediately understood. other vids i watched multiple times and im still lost. day 1 f2p player here and i ONLY use causew guides. im in 2 decent sized servers with ba players and im the only one who has cleared a torment raid so far vs whales. i trust this guy with my childrens life
I avoided researching about this boss fight until today and oh man, didn't expect it to have so many layers. I have the units to do insane, but I hope I have the patience to learn how to execute it correctly
I started playing a month ago lvl 41 by now, the game is fun and the girls are lovely specially Haruka, but now that I know the game have raid with mechanics like wow, I love it! Thx for the guide it's really well explained.
I really like how this TA is the only TA where you restart the whole segment no matter how much HP Gregorius had remaining. So the phases are time based (or music based if like it) instead of the usual HP based. No matter how much or how little damage you deal, Gregorius will never jump skip the performance. It is also one of the few TA where even if you have every required students, you still can't just faceroll it. It's a fresh experience from usual rotate ako himari and one dps girl to boom the boss.
Thank you Causew! I could only ever do extreme until your videos. I'm still only able to do some insane raids but you've helped my understanding of the game so much. Appreciate you
could only finish extreme difficulty ngl it was fun learning the ropes the only head scratcher is the soundwave and what each do so this video really helped
Thank you for the guide, I decide this is the 1st raid that I stay at Hardcore. The required students for this raid are just too much for a F2P like me to go invest on new students & learn all of those mechanics. Hell, I will even consider quitting the game as a whole when the Sonic Boss raid come out in the future.
I'm just very happy I have a fully upgraded Cheer Hibiki. She's the reason I'll be able to get this one in Extreme because damn, I miss all the other key students
aaaay so complicated, but thank you friend! Maybe I will be able to get at least gold since I got Mina and S. Saki in the same 10 pulls,, anyways that's fine, I can't expect much as a new player
Thanks as always Causew your raid guides are extremely helpful. Can't wait to get destroyed by this raid since I don't have any of the newer meta units for it.
i must say i give up with this boss, i dont haave any good debuff char yeah and pretty much i just die and goes on until i run out of student so time to give up
i completely disagree in that the boss doesnt feel bad, the fight mechanics are clearly there to be exploited, but that doesnt change the fact that of the 10 or so core students needed for a reasonably comfy clear, 6 came out in the last 3 months, and the others are permanent units that saw little usage before the boss, so a lot of people skipped them (Reisa, Mine, etc) so yeah, i think this is the Dev's first massive L, Kurokage kinda is too, but Sonic is not as restrictive as people think, not to mention Ichika/Kasumi where well spaced with Vol.5 characters usefull for the fight in conclusion, Greg fucking sucks, JP hasnt had Hiero for a year, and i hope the same happens with Greg
As a lvl.79 newer player who only plans on clearing up to extreme, is there anyone I can borrow to do a comfortable one team clear? The only team slots I have planed out for now are Nagisa and Koharu with maybe maid Yuzu or s.Miyu.
minori is the best dps on this raid, considering the 😎 mood, extreme will be baby mode with her, just know u need to survive long enough for minori to do enough dmg 👍
Yep as the comment above said, fully maxed minori is the best borrow option. You'd just need striker students who could survive while minori gets the job done.
@@baplox8323 Okay, so, Borrowed Minori for the Attacker. For strikers I was thinking Koharu, Marina, Aru and Akane. I wanted to bring Nagisa, but I might need NY.Haruka for more debuffs. Does this team seem okay?
Am missing a lot of debuffers for this.... Can only use Koharu, Azusa, Nagisa, and Akane, since they're good enough While I need to build both NY Haruka and Marina to cover and borrow Minori Thanks for the guide, will use this to know if am missing something Edit, I forgot NY Haruka is Special not Striker, dang it. Might try to roll for S Saki, I think
Can barely even keep track of the counter and all the enemies spawning, my student abilities and hp, but the need to keep track of the organ thing is already ridiculous... Not to mention you need to also have a student to actually attack it, or you're gonna spend a lot of your aoe! Can't even do the lvl 50 one without an assistant... Well, granted, i'm lvl 50 myself
how do I tell what debuffs can stack with what, since my debuffers are NY Haruka, Nagisa and Mine but Mine was overkill in terms of debuffing so I swapped to Akane but im guessing her debuffs dont stack with Nagisas and I have no idea who else to bring as a unit to be the 5th debuff
So you can’t turn the yellow wave to make it hit him instead of your team? So you only really have to worry about aiming the blue and white waves it seems?
Unrelated to the first question but should I save up for Yuzu eleph or just go with recruitment tickets for the grand assault shop. Also thanks for the answers
@@andrewlawrence3308 Yeah, save to buy Yuzu elephs. i'll always pick up any of the purchasable character specific elephs that i don't have, in this case...i don't own mimori, i'll pick up both yuzu/mimori elephs anyways.
I actually don't think i've seen it happen before, but I wouldnt be surprised if you could. If it is possible, the timing on it would be very awkward because to build Groggy you need to knock the choir down. Since you usually want to knock the choir asap so they don't murder your team, it's unlikely you'll line up the groggy timing with an organ you don't want. If you manage to make it work though, all the power to you!
@@tai4077 yes. majority of the basic skill debuffers cant use their debuffs for greg due to this only a few are able to work like Saya having AoE on her basic or Azusa's having the correct timing to activate right when the minions disappear so it hits Greg
I really don't undestand how people can think this fight is overwhelming when it's literally scripted and the same every time. Raids in game like FFXIV or WoW are way heavier mechanincs-wise. Even Dragalia had more depth in some fights. Awesome video, btw
It's related to target audiences. Gamers like yourself who are seasoned and well played will be fine, especially with how alike they tried to make this boss compared to actual MMO's - but seasoned MMO gamers are usually the minority of people playing Mobile Gachagames. The vast majority of players playing Blue Archive are just regular casuals who might not be so experienced with games and don't have the broad range of experiences they would have picked up from playing other games for years or even decades. I'm like yourself and have played games for many decades, and I was able to intuitively pick up Greg's mechanics quite quickly. However I fully respect that not everyone has the same experience and I'm happy to help people catch up in the knowledge gap to hopefully make what *should* be a casual game actually a bit more casual.
What even is this game anymore.. why would they keep pushing super complex bosses out? I mean it's cool but it's too overwhelming for the majority of the players. Even worse is that they don't teach you at all how to fight the boss and you have to look it up yourself from youtube or something (if guide videos even exist at all)
It is indeed the worst designed raid boss so far. If you don't have the specific students you'll have a hard time even in extreme difficult but if you do have and invested a lot on them you can even clear torment with 1 team. I managed to 1 team clear torment since I do have those specific students at high investment.
yea, its just so dumb. even when ppl claims this is very heavy mechanic wise, thats just far from the truth lol, mechs are so basic is easily the simplest part about it. having the cc countdown bugged also makes this incredibly inconsistent to do because theres just no guarantee on how the boss will turn out every time u mock battle... ah yea, ex can be dumb but the cc countdown is just so much more manageable that even if u only manage to keep it yellow, still killable due to being not blatantly overtuned as insane +

This was making me think I was tripping or was a dumbass dammit thats annoying
No wonder. I was doing extreme and I can' clear it since I couldn't see the color waves other than yellow
i knew it it was visual bug since i cant see the annimation for the piano in the center when it will cast it.

Hi Yumie
I love raids where if you don't have the main unit (Minori) you just die or have to spend hours fishing for the right crits/rng/targeting/movement.
well then as JP already proved we soon get YET another boss who NEEDS new students (sonic damage).
Really takes much from flexibility or pulling for waifu , gotta go with meta a bit sadly this round.
I just borrow
for my experience is the debuff its self the problem. Minori its kinda tradeablenfornother unit that do thebse role as Maid Yuzu UE 40 for me and Nagisa. and Having Aru for more AoE dmg is handy too. yo yea S saki is core for me

I really appreciate the explanation. With this I was able to get gold in this raid. I was worried I didn't have the right students.
Thank you for your guide, it really made it a lot easier to understand and tackle the boss of this raid!
Thank you Causew! I could only ever do extreme until your videos. I'm still only able to do some insane raids but you've helped my understanding of the game so much. Appreciate you
Thanks for the guide Causew my favorite Blue Archive content creator
Thanks for all this great info and the links too! Honestly was going to just face smash it but I can get to insane pretty easily now.
could only finish extreme difficulty

thanks for the vid mate, Greg just came back in grand, helped alot !!!!
Thank you! So useful and helpful info here and in an easy way to understand!
Thx for the guide!
This is nuts...
The example team building help a lot 👍
Great guide, looking forward to trying it out myself!
I'm just very happy I have a fully upgraded Cheer Hibiki. She's the reason I'll be able to get this one in Extreme because damn, I miss all the other key students
Another blessing guide from Causew :pog:
Who is this smart and handsome guy making such a good guide
Thanks for the hard work
he truly debuff your sanity to -0
More sad that Nexon ruin Aru strat, thank you Nexon once again
Thanks for the raid guide Cashew.
aaaay so complicated, but thank you friend! Maybe I will be able to get at least gold since I got Mina and S. Saki in the same 10 pulls,, anyways that's fine, I can't expect much as a new player
Excellent guide, thank you!
Thanks as always Causew your raid guides are extremely helpful. Can't wait to get destroyed by this raid since I don't have any of the newer meta units for it.
i think what they wanted was, creating another boss that felt like goz. and by that i mean the inmersion it produces.
I agree with Nexon taking it too far on designing this boss. It's a bit overloaded specially coming from the last raid which is Binah.
Thank you very much! 🙏❤️✨
Honestly I think just knowing about the debuffs and actually using AOE makes it actually very easy.
Gold looks better anyway, Aruji-dono
i must say i give up with this boss, i dont haave any good debuff char yeah and pretty much i just die and goes on until i run out of student so time to give up
thanks king, I can get midori finally
Considering who I have vs who I don't, I feel like Mina, Reisa, Shigure, Rumi, Saya and S.Miyu would make a great team for Greg.
Apparantly there is bug that cause dmg to the choir not reflecting against greg during JP initial release
This only applied to 2/7 of the choir members on the 2nd and 3rd minutes iirc. Global may have this fixed
Thank you 🙏
thank you sensei
new glitch: If using M.Aris EX on organ or choir member they will completely disappear in the next choir phase
from comment on Arisu Archive video
This looks fun even though it's really hard. I'm at lv.75 and doesn't have much students but I'm looking forward to how I'll progress this year.
i completely disagree in that the boss doesnt feel bad, the fight mechanics are clearly there to be exploited, but that doesnt change the fact that of the 10 or so core students needed for a reasonably comfy clear, 6 came out in the last 3 months, and the others are permanent units that saw little usage before the boss, so a lot of people skipped them (Reisa, Mine, etc)
so yeah, i think this is the Dev's first massive L, Kurokage kinda is too, but Sonic is not as restrictive as people think, not to mention Ichika/Kasumi where well spaced with Vol.5 characters usefull for the fight

Thanks for the guide, will use this to know if am missing something
Edit, I forgot NY Haruka is Special not Striker, dang it. Might try to roll for S Saki, I think
I used miyu (swimsuit) so I can damage those minions in the circle and the minions that's near greg
I pulled Nagisa for Gregorius,
Just to end up not using her because I dont have Minori or the Swimsuit Rabbits. Aru Team it is.
Without mine and ako.... I might struggle on doing aru clear in Insane
Can barely even keep track of the counter and all the enemies spawning, my student abilities and hp, but the need to keep track of the organ thing is already ridiculous... Not to mention you need to also have a student to actually attack it, or you're gonna spend a lot of your aoe! Can't even do the lvl 50 one without an assistant... Well, granted, i'm lvl 50 myself
The boss is so cool but holy hell this is so complicated
Atsuko fills both tank and team healer role, so its probably advisable to have her somewhere in a formation
Atsuko can't tank for her life here because Greg is Blue attack type. Extreme and below, sure, but just use Koharu.
It would be great if my units stayed in the s.hoshino ex circle
So knowing myself, i am not touching greg extreme.
how do I tell what debuffs can stack with what, since my debuffers are NY Haruka, Nagisa and Mine but Mine was overkill in terms of debuffing so I swapped to Akane but im guessing her debuffs dont stack with Nagisas and I have no idea who else to bring as a unit to be the 5th debuff
my brain exploded
thanks for the guide, but I have a question. How do I know which debuffs stacks and which debuffs overwrite?
No mina, no s saki, no minori, no aru and mine. Welp I'm just stick to hardcore/extreme for now, hope club minori is stronk lol
I just want to complete extreme difficulty
yoooo same
So you can’t turn the yellow wave to make it hit him instead of your team?
So you only really have to worry about aiming the blue and white waves it seems?
Yes
Who can replace nagisa for the example team 1
I'm gonna go with M.Yuzu
if what you searching is aoe dmg, Maid Yuzu or Miyu swim suit do its role, tho you minus 1 debuff nagisa bring and auto heal
Unrelated to the first question but should I save up for Yuzu eleph or just go with recruitment tickets for the grand assault shop. Also thanks for the answers

Anyone knows if Focused Asault counts as debuff? 🤔
Wtf, DoT works too??? Whose that bastard yesterday telling me that DOT doesnt count? 😠
DOT adds to the counter, but it does not spread from Greg to the Choir. They may have been getting it confused.
can I put a debuff on the choir guys?
no, it is not two way. you'll need to put the debuff on greg itself so it reflects its debuffs onto the choir
