Description

I've also done a Full Game True Neutral Solo Low Level run here, making me the first person to Solo Shiva ever without ng+ cycles:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98ngzhLoFts

I can't put this into words... This is probably the hardest challenge fight ever done in any Megaten game by anyone. Likely trumping even my Solo No Items 1 Press Turn Nocturne Lucifer fight, that fight was an absolute rng fest and while this fight is more consistent there are parts of rng where you will die no matter what and due to the length of the run dying far in to Tsukuyomi deciding to use 4 back to back Yabusame Shots or Phase 2 Trucifer deciding to crit or punish you unfairly gets tedious 2 hours into an attempt. At least with trying to mana drain Nocturne Luci for 5-6 hours there is close to a guarantee with proper play and a bit of luck you will win, there is nothing you can do to make this easier. I'll explain my build including each choice and why EVERY move cannot be swapped out, not a single one of this can be replaced.

Yabusame Shot: This is needed for 2 reasons, first when Tsukuyomi summons his fake replicas if you do not hit his real version he will follow up with Diarama and there seems to be a lot of discussion around if he has a tell or not but I could not find anything. I guess the only way to have definite proof is if someone extracts his models and finds multiple, finding 1 would most certainly mean there is no tell, this however could technically be replaced by using the worst item in the game.... Gleam Grenade.... its the only thing that would hit for AOE damage and except for a skill has unlimited uses, however Trucifer resists physical so there is no way to get an additional press turn on him and crit without using an Impaler + Guarantee Crit move OR almighty and praying it crits. Now I need consistency not damage and since Yabusame shot hits AOE, always crits AND pierces its the only move in the entire game that will work, another reason for this is mana sustainability. The fight is incredibly long and I would run out of all my mp items so fast. This is paired with high restore so I can keep infinitely sustained while topping up with Chakra Elixir so then for the harder parts I can play aggressive, riskier and use my good items like Somas.

Figment Slash: Paired with all physical damage passives this is the only move in the game that will with 100% consistency kill a Star and although I am using my dodge strat the only issue is when in phase 1 he has 2 stars. Using Deadly Fury would not cut it this time but by the grace of the gods Figment even with worst damage rolls will work. An issue is this means for other fights they would generally last a little longer as Figment has a lower hit chance. I got extremely lucky to get some of the hits I did especially on Tsukuyomi because of his agility but I knew I needed to end it fast so I could save Muscle Drinks and Whittled Goat for Phase 2 Trucifer. Abdiel has lower agility so as long as she wasn't buffed it would have a good chance to hit but I still got very lucky and thankfully the Dread Miracle glitch gave me accuracy down on Truci which is perfect as the other 2 debuffs would get wiped by Hot and Cold Dark Matter anyway that helped me be more consistent and play extremely aggressive in phase 2 Truci. Thankfully the Stars cannot dodge so Figments only real use other than risky extra damage was 100% consistent on the stars.

Luminescent Mirage: Despite Nulling everything these bosses have a 30% chance to gain Impalers Animus whenever you block, this is ESSENTIAL for not only preventing pierce moves from hitting but also turn 1 almighty attacks such as Freikugel and Megidolaon.

Critical Zealot:

High Phys Pleroma:

Phys Pleroma:

All of those of which are used to make destroying a star with Succession possible.

Intercalation: This allows me an extra 1/2 press turn on almost every turn which I can then use to reapply Mirage. This then gives me an action to try for a crit then use my Elixir to replenish mp so I can sustain myself, or for riskier sections I can get more attacks in or heal/debuff/buff whatever I need.

High Restore: As previously stated this fight is long lol. Chakra Elixir alone while being infinite cannot keep up with mp restoration without getting some extra from high restore. Infact it is so incredibly tight if my actions for a turn do this: Mirage - Crit Attack - Chakra Elixir. If my Magatsuhi is full I get a net gain of exactly 1mp. If it was even slightly lower managing my mp would be incredibly difficult and while not impossible I really would not want to be using Somas outside of Phase 2 Trucy.
