The TimeCops in MD3H are there to hammer in the fact that “Maybe… Neutral is fine too”. Well that and abusing tanks + deliberately not clashing to make them eat hits before they get a turn. Though, a fun little trick I learned is to use the (safe) corrosion version of Fluid Sac to make them eat a shit tone of sanity damage on the first turn
Worst part is that I had to struggle to defeat this on Floor 4 - my experience with this encounter easily outranks all Floor 5 bosses ive ever fought MD2 or MD3. Its insane
Funny enough, I usually pick the safest options for enemy floor buffs, I’m just glad this appeared on floor 4 than 5 where you have to fight two waves.
Argh. I’ve encountered these guys twice in risky encounters. First was 3H floor 3; that one was a slog with a lot of Golden Time and hell of a lot of EGO spam since Siphon Time beat my evades, though things didn’t get out of control like this thanks to base EGOs and Fluid Sac. Second was earlier today in 3N; again needed EGOs to clash them, but I was fine with base EGOs (plus I had Yi Sang and his base’s buffs), and I was able to start staggering them pretty fast, so I mostly cleaned house by round 4 or 5. Not taking pierce riskies in the future.
Most of my ID are lvl 35 or above. I have base characters because I’m maximizing my MD runs to get the most star light. I ran them only for this fight just because of there AoE EGOs.
