I dunno, I find it boring that the devs basically have to give every boss 2 or more phases. Bullshit abilities that can destroy half your comp in seconds and ridiculous stage/event mechanics that are so obnoxious to work around. All because they drove themselves and the games balance into a corner because of several overtuned operators. And the best part. Most of the time you can still just brute force every event with all the meta operators anyway lmao.
After I heard you advise against using Thorns, I just had to go "curiousity killed the cat - let's kill 10,000 more cats to find out why". Brought Thorns - E2L90, P2, S3M3 - and Andoain loses about 50% HP before he's out of range, and here's the fun part: Andoain does NOT send the wave out at any point during the process. My guess is that the wave has such a long cooldown that Thorns is actually unable to trigger it. Only when Andoain gets to Mon3tr does the wave trigger (pretty much on the first hit). ...Totally expecting Challenge Mode to have "wave has reduced cooldown" now, though.
I did this blind. While I managed to clear it on the first try, I was being a clown the entire stage. My operators kept dying. My Ch'en alter couldn't even use S3 once lol. I am glad the Auto-deploy works though. You could say that IS2 had taught me a lot about crisis management.
There is something wrong with Invis operators: You can let the boss scan them and turn them invis on - they wont get hit by attack itself. You can abuse Firewatch as a bait op and with module and m3 first skill she can easily dip 80% of hp while the boss is still in lower half where enemies wont make dodge-field that usefull. Make sure she doesnt kill him or leaves at least 20 percent for Autto-deploy randomness.
Well the info for the boss mechanics are helpful. The dodge rate is absurdly high too. I made the entire map shiny and it feels like I just turned on Light Mode.
@@SashaSlvt he drops those shiny cloudy shrouds at 50% (phase 1) and 75/50/25% (phase 2), which cause all enemies standing within them to take less and have 50% dodge against all phys/arts dmg.
I beat him with Amiya, Eyja, Schawarz and Surtr. Basically I throw every boss killer Ops I have at him and Amiya help me a lot with her true damage that he can’t dodge. Brute force at its finest. 😂
Thanks. Helped a lot. I'm not good at executing perfect strats on these kinds of maps but, thIs guide got me through it. All I really wanted to do was finish the crazy story. And I'm happy to say I saw the ending because of the clear way you described it.
I don't have a Kal'tsit and the only one I could borrow was E2lv40, so I was worried she wouldn't be enough, but it worked! Thanks for this, I'm really grateful for your videos.
I'm genuinely struggling to see him as a bad guy here. Then again, I don't know what he did to Fiammetta since this is the first time I've seen him, so I might be missing key info to put two and two together
@@silkysnow6793 This was the first time I read through the story cutscenes while playing, and I am so far confused as to what he actually did. From what I gather, Andoian, Lemuen, Mostima and Fiemetta were a team that worked in Laterania. Then for a simple cleanup mission, Fiemetta stayed behind. During that mission, Andoian did something and almost killed Lemuen. Mostima got angry and fired her weapon at Andoian, resulting in her fall for violating the Sancta commandment. When Fiemetta found them, Mostima had fallen, Lemuen was injured, and Andoian was gone. So Andoian in that sense is a bad guy. We do learn that he was motivated by a need to try and bring the living standard enjoyed by Sankta to everyone else. However, it’s not something doable it seems given that a huge reason for the Sankta to thrive the way they do and maintain peace within themselves has to do with their empathy aspect and other things unique to them.
^ Should note, Mostima being mad about Lemuen isn’t the whole reason she shot Andoain (though it was probably part of it). Mostima’s module reveals that Black Lock and White Key, the time distorting staffs she uses, used to be in possession of someone that Ando/Mostima/Lemuen stumbled upon during that specific mission. Andoain got hold of the staffs and seemed incredibly mentally unstable, so Mostima shot him. She explains this somewhere in the later half of the event (I forgot which stage specifically), saying something like “I didn’t want him to have the Lock and Key”.

i managed to do this first try without really understanding the mechanics but my auto deploy just... doesnt work. thank you kyo for letting me farm this stage!
Barely passed. Kalt'sit i was able to get was on defensive skill so boss passed but. Having two healing guards helped save my ass along with two casters.
HOLY SHIT I just did it. It was tougher for me because my 2 leveled up defenders are liskarm & nearl who don't have a skill that kicks in immediately for medical defense before they got killed by his arts. But this wouldve seemed so impossible if I didn't know to use true damage, to recall everyone before his arts waves hit, & to use defenders placed away from everyone to tank his refilled arts when he respawns. I'm a new player who only started like 2 months ago which certainly didn't help because I was using all under leveled units & only got my first E2 literally this week. Thank you for this. I never use this dumb meme but you dropped your crown good sir. I'm sure this wouldn't have been as bad if I had played for years with all that entails but you made it possible for me at this stage. Thank you. I lucked out because one of his refilled shots bounced on kalsit & my other medic & my main guard died (lappland) but it worked out perfectly in the end. I almost was caught by surprise when he had finally died & almost died to the carts because I wasn't expecting to kill him on that run
I was tearing my freaking hair out trying to make heads or tails of how Andoain's gimmicks worked; your explanation and playthrough gave me the knowledge and determination I needed to finally power through it and see the story through. Thank you so much!
The Kal'tsit you got through support unit has a higher skill level than 7. I can't find a Kal'tsit with a higher skill level than 7 and thus Mon3tr doesn't do enough damage for me.
Apparently Kal'tsit S3M2 with level 70 and 200% trust is just a tiny bit too weak for the first phase. Had to use Amaya S3L7 on Steward's position, facing down to make sure Andoain doesn't get too far into the field. For his second phase Mon3tr was just barely quick enough to let him finish the sweep. Phew!
I had a lot of trouble dealing with the bullet bouncing when trying it by myself personally. So much trouble it took me until I looked up the boss to even know that there was an anti-magic field it deploys when damaged.
@@goldentiramisu7935 first off I was talking about degen, second I wasn't there at the time so excuse my comment if it made you somehow take it as "this is the hardest boss ever"
thank for the guide man i was fail thank to the boss mechanics and the toy car bomb -__- but wait at 6:43 i pot surtr (use her 3rd skill ) left side Mon3tr use both surtr and Mon3tr skill the boss die fast and have no chance to his skill xD
can someone pls tell me what i can do cause when i refresh my support units i still keep getting the same 2 kaltsits with s1 and s2, no s3 and they won’t fking get away and have another one with s3 show up. wtf is this hypergryphhhhhh
Tried this stage 40 times, turned out that my mistake was brute force killing it with physical and art dmg. The pure damage really solve my problem, just gotta borrow kaltsit from people 🤣
i tried to cheese the boss by using Magallan, Ceobe, Rosa, and Schwarz to assassinate him before he reach top left but he always reverse uno it and kills everyone with his bouncy shots lmao
Is there a way to get past this without offensive Kaltsit or E2 Amiya? ive been trying but I havent figured out a way (to kill the boss twice) since I have neither
A year later, and I hate this stage in the rerun the most, at my wit's end on how to handle all the special mechanics and my poor team building and strategies at the same time. Andoain your lore is great and all but I hate you as a game boss, why must you be unblockable, scan the battlefield, and create fields to give dodge?
Man idk what it is but I just can't get an e2 lvl 90 borrowed Kal to do the first kill fast enough. I'm using the exact same operator's except I have Projekt Red instead of Gravel and following step by step but Ando keeps nuking Kal
@@velvetra29 if youre talking about the ricochet shots, they are actually androne's normal attacks when he has ammo (indicated by the blue bars below his hp) idk about the map-wide google maps search in his 2nd phase is a skill or not though
@@AmoreyYaoiSecks Yep, ricochet can't be silenced since it's still a normal atk. As for google map, the first time he casts it, he's invulnerable, so it can't be silenced. For the 2nd time, idk for sure. EDIT: yes, cannot be silenced at all.
DAMN！I can't make it.Andoain's bullet always catapult my Kaltsit🥲I saw a strategy using poz,her module is helpful this time.BUT! My ops were catapulted again n again.SOOOO hard,I hate Laterano😡
Kal joined to show the Laterano Church how to preach a real sermon through the powers of monologue.
Kal'tsit is going to be like the dragonborn: Be the leader of all the factions, except she will actually run them.
I did this blindly and wow I failed due to all the weird mechanics. Hypergryph is so good at making obnoxious stages lol.
Hypergryph trying not to make a boss with 456890 mechanics so when you make a small error everything is fucked up and you lose
That's why you always read the boss ability
Imo it makes the game and events more fun, having a boring boss with the same mechanics we've seen 15716716 times would be boring
When the game wants you to use your brain sometimes and it hurts.
I tried not to use SA. I failed xD.

Kalsit need to be about lv60 S3M3 for this to works, otherwise u can probably helidrop surtr or SA for some dps
Was able to do this with Kalsit lv30 S3M1, just had to drop a ling dragon to make up for the damage
Does NTR lvl 50 S3M1 works?
@@grayfullbuster10 It wont deal true damage since he's unblockable
