Sorry for the late upload. I was really busy last week, and I myself got the clears basically on the last day (a day before upload). Good thing it was elimination raid and not total assault, I guess.
You know I'll gladly take any opportunities to take either kinds of Chise along, so I was happy in that sense. Finally, it's her time to shine.
You may have noticed I'm retreating after clearing the first pillar for both fights. I read online that the fight resumes at the second pillar, and it would save some time walking up to it (provided that your team 2 can clear second pillar as fast), so I tried it out. I didn't have enough time to test different retreat points, but when your party gets the movement speed buff, you get the credit for sure.
I don't know if I was doing it right, but I got scores I was happy with, so I'll call it good. You will find the actual top score strats since it's over, as is tradition with elimination raids, so be sure to look for them if you are interested and want to try in your global servers. I wanted to go over what I did, what I think can be possible.
Let's start with VS light armor. There isn't much to talk about with team 1. For both fights, in fact. Bring Shun and swimsuit Shiroko for EX meter boost/cost reduction, and swimsuit Chise for the debuff. I used Nagisa before Azusa because I couldn't get the pillar with just Azusa few times, and I needed a clear fast. Now, I wonder if Toki would have been better because her EX is cheaper. Once you get the first pillar, team 1's job is done.
Team 2 starts with the second pillar. I tried few different skill orders, but I don't think it matters too much as long as you clear the pillar with Aru's NS. The earlier you use Hoshino's EX, the more meter you can stock up, so there could be a time save there. The crit RNG will take few tries, but it's not that bad. The real game starts with the boss.
Because of how my team's formation, the circle AOE will push Aru back too far away to hit the boss with EX. And for some reason, it likes to use that more than anything else. Not sure if that's true or if it's just anecdotal, but that's how my run went.
And after you survive that, it's crit RNG time. I don't think it is possible to finish the fight with 1 Aru EX. But as you can see, I got the boss HP down to 20K with her second EX before the explosion, and 1 more crit on Aru's NS would have been enough for that, I'd assume. If you want the high score, go for it, but I'd recommend getting a decent clear before that. A lot of times, you can get the boss down to a couple hundred thousands after the second EX, and if you haven't cleared yet, just go for the clear at that point.
This RNG fishing took me about 3~4 tickets, which means 3~4 helper Chises with it. I still had few more helpers, and I wanted to bring my own Chise in team 2, so I kept going, but if it got too low, what you could do (and what I would have done) is bringing your Chise in team 1, and in team 2, instead of full retreating, go back to lobby, and then give up on the fight. I think this counts as not using helper, so you can keep trying.
Now onto the special armor. Team 1 is pretty much the same. Clear the pillar as fast as you can, then retreat.
I thought it was really cool to clear the second pillar with Wakamo's NS. I believe it needs buffs from new year Kayoko and Ako to do so. You need to cycle EXs anyway, so no reason not to use them. I think it is important to clear the pillar with Wakamo NS so that Cherino's focus fire is put on the boss the next phase. You can probably be a little late, but if it's put on the pillar, that's a reset point. With the focus fire on the boss, Wakamo's next NS hits the boss, which not only does a significant amount of damage, it's under the effect of Wakamo's EX, so even more damage afterwards.
Speaking of Wakamo EX, the boss is at about 200K HP remaining after the EX explosion. Maybe it's possible to clear with just 1 EX. It's something you might wanna consider if you are going for high score. Again, go for the clear first. One of the worst thing that can happen in this game is to not get a clear because you are going for high score.
At 4:35, I gambled and lost. I thought Wakamo EX could finish it off, so I used it immediately. If you use it when the remaining time is about 2 minutes and 45 seconds (spelling out to avoid timestamping), it delays her NS after Cherino's, meaning it fires at the boss, and I could have saved few seconds there. If boss is at much higher HP, the EX explosion can finish it off.
That said, I believe the top score strat uses maid Aris as the main damage source. What you do is probably easier since you don't need to time the focus fire stuff, but I believe the cirt RNG is harder.
