Okay guys.
I made this thread just to give hints/tips on how to do well on the new DLC Rush Mode.
Please make sure you give some tips as well.
No trolls please :)
What do I recommend?
-Abilities Critical I(10% chance for Double damage but sacrifices more health when hit and Firepower I(Increases regular damage to 1.2 but sacrifices more health when hit)
-Machine Gun II
-Microphone to communicate with teammates
Explanations for the recommendations-
-Critical I is really important when killing bosses, especially when killing the Gordiant, Experimental weapon and the Akrid X. The point of Rush Mode is to kill the bosses the quickest in order to reach number 1. Doubling damage is important especially when using the VS Heavy Weapons which can take down probably 1/5 of the boss's health.
-Firepower I is important. Since you cannot always depend on the critical ability to deal damage to your enemies, you deal 20% more damage to your enemies. When combined with the Critical I, you can easily deal a great amount of damage to the boss.
-Machine Gun II, is probably the best choice of weapon when dealing with the Category G's.
By clicking/holding the trigger fire button five times, that is 10 bullets dealt to the enemy. Also since the critical ability has a 10% chance to deal double damage, hopefully one of the bullets you shot would of dealt double damage. Also since the Firepower ability does an additional 20%, this is the best weapon to take down the boss's. Many of the boss's cannot be approached with a Gun Sword, The Gordiant cant unless you Gun Sword the core but apart from that, it's pretty much useless.
WARNING!!!!!!!!
You WILL lose health very QUICKLY(Critical and firepower negatives). Please make sure YOU remember this. Without the Recovery ability, recovering your health is also a problem!
Data Posts....
Okay about data posts...When you fight the first boss(Gordiant) only activate the first data post or if your battle gauge gets low, activate the others. Activating every single one would waste precious seconds! Remember the objective is to kill the bosses withn the quickest time possible!
PS-I have to go, will edit later!
