Mostly got our gears from token refine events so we don't have much budget buying other expensive gears.
If there's any advice about stats, level, & (affordable) gears we would love to hear it.

AB stay back under pneuma to block Hell's Judgement, spam Safety Wall on whoever is at melee range of Samurai.

ET run again today, still stuck at 40. Consolation: we got better loot than usual.

 

We lasted longer than usual with spamming safety wall. Though I need to get the hang of remembering the timers for pneuma

 

We'll try again next week.

 

[edit]

Should I save up and get a AKx2 Chakram Sharp5x2 for the GX?

The most practical solution is to ditch the SC, and use the biochem to acid bomb samurai while the GX with hallu walk tanks while alt AB heals/pneuma/safety wall.

You can try having the sc sswitch to severe rainstorm so he can just cast in the background (honestly, idk if this is better dmg but you'll be able to focus on your other character better)

For safety wall and pneuma spam, place multiple casts alternately side by side so you can simply walk back and forth when one is about to expire.

Edit: why not just decard the hunterfly from your current chakram and replace that one with an ak card? Then use that saved up zeny for exploring other gear slots instead (like maybe making temp boots with good enchant)

thanks to the puri stone today, we got our ET run earlier than usual

 

Finally managed to get past floor 40. Dark claw+EDP+CI+crits and SW+pneuma did the job. Thanks to all who posted advice here so far really appreciate it.

 

Now we're stuck at floor 60, bullied by the biokids (egnigem).

I've always thought that it was weird how egnigem is actually harder than some of the bosses that come after floor 60 :v

This is where your sc can step up.
If your sc kept arrow storm, he'll probably be able to easily snipe eggni and run/backslide before she and her entourage can react. Just need to clear the room so you have enough running space lol

Btw, idk if your sc has Urgent Escape , but, if you successfully anklesnare a boss, it can also stop their slaves from chasing after you(even if you stand beside them lol) if they didn't aggro yet.
