i still haven't attempted hydra again or any 4* magicite. need to farm holy orbs for like, 3 months now lol.
i was able to sub-30 Shadow Dragon at least (which i mean, if i couldn't with what i just got i may as well quit playing). i used divine cross/guardbringer on Orlandu and Saint Cross on Marche. funnily enough Marche still couldn't cap with TGM RM and just shout, though i need to level him to 99 still and i haven't learned the SBs yet so he wasn't using any holy boost gear. with the bad shape my knight hones are in now i'm glad to have Orlandu's BSB to fall back on, especially with Marche available to make it and the commands a bearable cast time, cause i did have to use that at the end. ---
i've been using them in hard 5 for top 5k. can you get top 5k without potion use by doing constant lunatic 7?
also it looks like this time i'm going to have to use them just to finish the February quests, because that 1 week in between TTs was not enough to do them all. ---
