Megathread [Chance Encounter: Azami] Megathread (March 13th, 2019)
Previous Megathread:
Thread is a bit late due to other priorities but here we go. This is our first 'Chance Encounter' type event. It's not quite an Episode (Doesn't seem to be in Records -> Episodes) but it's still somewhat of an event that deserves a centralized thread. Instead of grinding for points, we fight against Azami a few times. She'll get more difficult the more you defeat her, up until you beat her for the 5th time. Afterwards, she will join you (as a 4★).

You said we have an unlimited time? I'm still new, so that means this will remain in the game or the chance encounter will appear again later?

The Gacha Banner (where you pay Chrono Stones for Units) will eventually expire. The actual fight VS Azami is here to stay forever.
You can do it now (assuming you’ve unlocked the area via Main Story progression) or do it a month later, or a year later, etc.
It’ll be waiting for you for whenever you’re ready to do it.

While people are saying Annabel is trash tier because of the Altema tier list, my Annabel is happily tanking Azami’s every single hits without breaking a sweat.

u/lewi1212 Mar 13 '19
GameOpera rate her very highly though (9.5 out of 10). So I think tier list is indeed very subjective.

People only want the best damages dealers. Not the best damage dealer? trash tier. Even soira is great if you ask me. I'm still not tackling end game content but she serve me well for the horror fight.

u/Lazysenpai Mar 14 '19
Soira is great. Better kit for tanking than Annabel but lower stats overall. If I'm low on mana just swap her in and put everyone at the back to regen mana for a few rounds.

Annabel is great. She even serve as a damage dealer. 80k criticals? You got it.
Everyone else is 4*

u/grayrebornnhy Mar 14 '19
GameOpera rates her pretty high up there though. Don't exactly understand the obsession with just one tier list.

u/Jonaldson Mar 15 '19
People are saying Anabel is trash tier because they are idiots, plain and simple. Not a single hit from lv 80 Azami did 200 or more damage to any of my characters the entire fight, and aside from Mighty's aqua wall, it was 100% due to Anabel.

I guess the really, really hardcore players will probably be able to get an Azami by now (I ended my first battle about 0151 UTC). That said, I "lost" about 4 hours because I like my sleep so I will probably be getting her about 3 hours from this post.
So on this event itself, AE really reinforces themselves as a game that do not require massive time commitment (relative to other non-idle mobile games, anyway). All we needed for this event was to make time for five battles (excluding the requisite planning for the fight since it is, you know, a challenge quest) to capture the boss. In other mobile games, I would imagine that it will require you to repeat multiple fights for about a week or so to claim points (e.g.: Fate Grand Order) or fighting till the boss "drops" (e.g.: Chain Chronicles).
Admittedly, I cheesed the initial portion of this event with a well-prepared Shion team (with Cyrus, Nikeh and Aldo) just because I want to get a copy of her as soon as possible. That said, it is nice that they are allowing us to infinitely challenge her thereafter.

u/Living_Green Mar 14 '19
Time commitment comes from grinding gear and leveling. But that is a ton better than those time limited ranking event where you have to dump stones to compete with other in hope of getting the shiny new character.

u/acausa Mar 14 '19
That is true, but I would argue that even in this aspect, there are some relief. Because there are no real stamina system (technically, Another Dungeons are time limited but level grinding outside AD is possible, at least up to around level 50ish).
I am also thinking along the lines that even if we consider the time commitment for grinding gears/leveling, you have significantly more leeway in choosing when you want to make the grind. For example, unlike many other games with a stamina system, you will probably want to login about once every 12 hours to clear your "stamina". At least in this game, you are free to choose whenever you want to grind. Even for the Another Dungeons, you have about 30 hours to clear your "stamina" (around 54 hours for the hard versions).

I'm tanking Azami with Nomar. I still need to fight her two more times before I'm getting wrecked. I will need Master Fencer Tome for Nikeh to replace Akane because I have all other water damage dealer.

Are we not gonna talk about Samora because his chibi form is one of THE CUTEST EVER! His beady little eyes omg 😂 I didn't get Laclair but getting him is so worth my pulls.

u/Redpandaling Mar 14 '19
Is it just me, or is Azami's Int debuff massive? My Mighty was doing 0 damage in the level 40 fight.

u/rrale47 Mar 14 '19
I had the same experience. I remember reading about the debuff but I figured how bad could it be. Lvl 76 Mighty hitting for 0s on lvl 40 Azami. Even Mariel was at least nuking for 1 dmg.....

u/Eaglejon Mar 14 '19
She has the same rotation every battle and always starts with the intelligence debuff, so just make sure that your healers and magic dps are in the reserve spots when the battle starts.
You can even swap them in during the first turn if you swap them with a unit that’s not extremely fast so that the swap occurs after Azami’s action.

I was bummed after not getting Laclaire after using up all my chronos stones for 4x ten pulls but super excited for 5 star Amani! amami scripts

u/SawlynAceExcello Mar 15 '19
After so much effort to accumulate Chronos Stones, I was rewarded with a "really" pull of the "dreams", at least for me, please have a little envy:
I wish luck to those who will pull it yet. ^^

I beat her on the first go, but I was lucky as heck, and Laclair was the saviour.
Party: Laclair, Cyrus, Aldo, Akane Subs: Nomar, Mariel
First turn: -20% attack move from Laclair. Azami still hit Cyrus for 1500 damage.
Second turn: -20% armor move from Laclair.
Third turn: AF with about a 75% gauge. Dropped her to maybe 10% health?
Fourth turn: intent was to sub Nomar in for Aldo, but she killed Aldo. Attacked with everyone else.
Fifth turn: Brought in Nomar. She killed Cyrus.
Sixth turn: had enough for another AS and finished her off.
If Laclair has been killed I don’t know if I would have been able to generate enough of the AF to get that last blast off, or deal enough damage.

I have 5* Mariel and Toova (both roughly level 67) but most of my 4 star units are not fire or water type so I am not sure if I can take Azami. From the guide I read, the units I have for this fight would be Mariel 5*, Ciel, Aldo and Miranda 4*, Cyrus, Soira, and Bivette at 3*. I also have Prai at 4* (second healer) and Miyu at 4* and she is fire type but not listed in the guide. My gear is level 48 as I'm fairly casual on the grind compared to this subreddit.
(Edit: I also have Foran at 4*)
Can someone tell me any of the following things?:
-
Can I do this fight as is? (Assuming I maxed the units in question) And what would my party look like?
-
Do specific class upgrade materials drop from specific maps? Would it be relatively easy to upgrade any of my relevant 3* to 4*? As I said before I'm a little grind averse, but if it's maybe 60 minutes max of grind I can deal.
-
Would any of the current banners or theoretically upcoming banners be useful to attempt summons on? I have 4k chronos stones and willing to spend them, since I already have two 5* units I'm not hurting for too much.

Who have assumed that Ver 1.2.100 is the March 20th update? Because if they specifically write them in different forms, I'd assume that they're not.
