Eww. You're way beyond where I currently am.

Oh well. I was working on clearing the regular missions and farming stuff... Lol.

Code Name - Class - Story

Equipment:

Tuned Railgun II [Sniper]
Wild Sword: Yang X [Short Sword]

Repellant Buckler [Buckler]
Assassin
Nightmare Goth (Top + Skirt)

Other Swords I regularly use:
Fiery Knife II

Wild Sword: Yin once I upgrade it to Laoyin P and beyond.

(Used to use Gem Sword: Xi Shi regularly against Vajra, then I switched to Wild Sword Yang instead.)

Total Play Time: [B]40:33:19

p.s. Didn't post my upgrades or their skills because I change them based on the Mission. For example, Stun Guard and Spark Guard when up against Spark Aragami.

Just beat Arda Nova. Phew. Pretty exhilarating fight (not to mention all those pretty laser shows Arda Nova provides. XD), if you ask me.

I broke the Halo, Hair and Legs, then the God part died before I could break it. Speaking of which, the God part has insane defense and can apparently only be significantly damaged when it's been knocked down or when it's attacking...though I think its defense weakens when it's enraged (not certain).

I still need my damn Silver to upgrade my Gem Sword.

With the 'blue eyes' face for females (think it's the very default one, maybe not, idk), I also have:

Hair Style: 19
Hair Color: 4
Top: Ouin High Uniform
Bottom: Ouin High Uniform

I just cleared Story 50. A little afraid of Hannibal (he pops up the next story mission), so I'm just clearing up some of the old Free missions. Just killed Susanoo...he just feels a little slower than the Fallen Borg Camlanns; I don't know why. I managed to block pretty much all his attacks (got blindsided a few times while dealing with the Zygotes though), while I can't do the same for the Spark Fallen Borg Camlann. ._.

Ugh. Got incapped 3 times trying to break his arm.

Well, I broke his scale and... >.>

Okay so now I know, never break his damn scale till I've broken everything I want to break...I ended up only breaking the scale and nothing else.

Khoi Wrote:Aim for his face or legs.

Face
Gauntlet / Shield thing
Scale

Those are breakable. Fighting him is a bit rough, and his "Corrosive" form is a lot stronger, which you won't get to until later on in the game. I basically solo'd against Corrosive Hannibal last night, because a certain character wasn't being very helpful . . . He ate up all of my potions. I only had O-Vials, Health Boosters, and Stamina Boosters left whenever I was done. I don't use traps or stun grenades either, unless I'm up against a really big monster . . .

If you want a tip, here's what I do, even though I use a Longsword. You can do this better if you have step-cancel guard. Basically, whenever he's on ground and NOT attacking (roaring animation, etc), go towards him, do about 4 slashes if you're using a short-sword , OR 2 slashes if you're using long-sword. Then immediately shield, because he can either pull out a javelin, OR he'll just try to claw you.

Whenever he does a really long roaring animation, he's going to "float up", that's when you can either:
a) Slash 2-3 times, and then do a quick devour -> Shield
b) Slash 4-5 times -> Shield

He's completely vulnerable before he floats, and when he does, he shoots those flaming tornados at you. DO. NOT. ATTACK. OR. ROLL. Just stay stationary and shield. Count from 1 to 3 seconds, and the animation should be done, rush back in at him, and I think he should do another roaring animation. At this point, charge for a full-burst, then immediately BLOCK.

Rinse and repeat.

I'm more close-range, personally. But I know people that prefers long-range more. I do use guns, but only if I have OP. Most of the time, I'm slashing his face.

Khoi Wrote:Oh, you can break the scale before that. I don't think breaking the scale affects anything, but I'm not too positive on that . . . I usually aim for the scale first too, because that's the easiest to break, and I do like my unbound rewards~

Hanabira.Kage Wrote:

Breaking the Scale allows it to do the "floating" attack. Besides, the spot with the Scale takes maximum damage on every hit so it will chip off a lot more of Hannibal's HP than when you hit any other part...therefore he'll live much longer if you leave the Scale till last.
