That skill is quite troublesome...

We are 3 (RG Gen and AB) trying to climb as high as we can the endless tower, but we are currently stuck on Baphomet floor only because of his earthquake skill. Compared to the Orc Lord his does ridiculously high damage and maybe we are missing something to mitigate it but it just wipe us over and over.

We are all lvl 130~

AB and Gene both have ~50% reduction with Kalitzburg + Raydric cards. (~20k hp each)
RG has 77% reduction with AK helm, Alice card, immune nid garb (30k HP)

Just the 3 of us, it one shots everyone. Summoning the homunculus makes the RG alone be able to survive (But he'll just use earthquake again 15 seconds later).
Is there an easier way to survive it or we really need to be lvl 150 with stacked HP/Reduction gear to have a chance? (We are not planning on leveling a Sura...)

Or do we have to buy a bunch of Token of Siegfried..?

How about recruiting more members...that used to help back when you needed a party for some Mvps

[Shiroi17]

That's an idea, but we are 3 IRL friends and just want to accomplish as much as we can with just the 3 of us, I know very well that we won't be able to kill everything, just trying to find solutions when we hit a wall.

Not sure how it is calculated but, DR card would bring me to 100% neutral reduction, I guess they don't directly stack?

Well, GR/DR will do it, logging alts to soak up damage will help.

Try using a long mace on AB, EQ is RANGED. This means Defending aura etc works on it. Blinding mist if you bring a sorc/scholar.

Aside of that all I can recommend is try potting through it, the damage is staggered slightly.

AB gear : Long mace, Spirit whisper / cresent pin combo, (or charming ribbon), holy robe, 2x Eye of dullahan (you're stacking demon reduction) <- that's how I survive it, throw a deviant on that if you're not potting.

since the RG is using boss reductions instead of demon, alligator accessories will help, along with defending aura.

It's really a ranged attack O.O
Wow thanks this helps hell a lot now!

Does it mean pneuma works?

pnuema doesn't block magic, so no.

earthquake sucks beacause is neutral and do alot of damage when there is only 3 ppl, idk if earthquake can be reflected(platinum shield or cards), i hope later earthquake can change element to earth to make sandaman card not useless as it is right now, if homunculus help with earthquake you can try with mercenaries but idk if work, but a ab with long mace, stone buckler, 2 alligators, ray should reduce 45%? + racial card 30% + ak helm 10% + 7% nid garment should take it like a men

[kentoriyama]

Mercs do work, but since they're pretty low in HP in comparison in renewal they can only tank the first hit.

have rg sac and guard... EQ and guard work in a bizarre fashion, i understand it but its very tl;dr... basically the more people you have sacced the higher ur chance is to block all hits of EQ on everyone sacced, but chances are just as good at getting raped on the rg if any of the EQs get by.... idk if DA reduces eq or not

ms sura going with you might help as well as it will take very little dmg from eq while reducing the damage
