What does the yellow health pool under ibaraki's effective health represent? And what do we get for bringing it down to 0?

it's her total HP. All players contribute to the damage. She'll respawn with full health periodically during the event. The quests will move forward as players make progress.

Ah thanks, I thought that was the yellow bar at the top of the menu screen, but that one is damage progress, probably.

It's the same bar.

[thecuteturtle]

It's the same bar.

Oh, so the one shown during the fight is just the zoomed portion of the total bar.

[Servant Shiki]

Would Iri be a good servant for the 3PB? I ask because I have neither Tamamo or Medea Lily.

[Snax]

Pretty sure DW didn't expect people other than hyperwhales to be killing Ibaraki 3BP within the first few days anyhow.

My lineup for optimal 3BP runs is currently this and even with this setup its pretty easy to fuck up if Ibaraki focuses Jack. I'm more of an NP centric person than a crit centric person due to lack of skill leveling, that may be another reason.

Edit: this setup yields about 140 gourds per run.

It's not really zoomed, more like a segment of the bar itself. You see the notches on the bar for the main screen? That's the divider between other 'Ibaraki' which is presumably the other 6 classes where the seventh segment (or first on the right) is our current Archer class.

Double Waver. Expected. Also, Jack. I really want Jack.

First 3BP run, I died 3 turns before the end with 4kk damage inflicted, which isn't bad at all since I went in with complete random team with only 1 Ushi and 1 Kintoki. Team composition was something like

Iri @Kintoki
Lancer Cu @Ushi
Support Scathach @Ushi
Backrow Kintoki/Heracles/Mashu (don't remember CEs, did it this morning)
Default dress

Tried again with a different team but I failed due to many mistakes, barely 2kk damage inflicted and way too many turns before the end. This time I went with

Robin @Ushi
Asterios @Kaleido
Support Waver @Kintoki
Backrow
CasKo @Kintoki
Mashu @Grand New Year
George @Halloween Arrangement
Plugsuit dress

Tried with both Asterios NP and maxed Fox Wedding, the debuffs don't make much difference for Robin NP damage, so I may as well go with CasKo in main party and bring another big guy instead of the fluffy boy, at least I'll have some healing power.
Leomon NP might be useful for NP blocking... if only they had the same NP gauge.
And Ibaraki damage is simply ridiculous, she brought George to half hp with Lv9 Mashu defense buff and lv10 Waver defense buff.

Sadly I have no Jack/Scathach/Okita, so I highly depend on support characters for this event. I'll try again with some other setup as soon as I get at least another Kintoki/Ushi/both.

[Snax]

I still think Scathatch is the best all around character to use for this map (other than waver of course), but I focused on buffing Jack's damage since Sca can buff her as well. That setup does around 4mil damage with a Waver-Sca-Jack NP chain.

[Qinglong]

Rolled tickets, got x2 wheel and x2 Alexander

don't feel like rolling the last ticket

[peanuts]

Fully ascended Kintoki CE already? That was fast.

[Lily Emilio]

Would Iri be a good servant for the 3PB? I ask because I have neither Tamamo or Medea Lily.

If you're going for my strat then she's okay but not the best, the main point is being able to consistently spam NPs and skills to survive. Iri doesn't help charging NP and heal too much.

You can try a more offensive strat like others too. I tried with a Scath/Jack support and did alot of dmg, but I lost that match after 12 turns lol. That's why I changed to a super defensive team, but then my dmg potential is crap and now I'm trying to make hybrid.

[mewarmo990]

You're confusing different bars.

In battle, you see her battle HP (that you fight directly), and her total HP below it. Any damage you do to her battle HP each turn is applied to her total HP.

The big bar outside of combat, that you see at the top of the main menu interface, is the total raid progress of the event. The HP number (started at 3 trillion for now) is her current total HP for this current spawn.

Once we defeat this spawn, she'll respawn with full health and more quests and story content will unlock. There's also a countdown to the next spawn which probably unlocks the same thing in case we don't finish.

[Servant Shiki]

After thinking about it, I'll just have to continue with the 2BP until I get my servants and CEs strong enough for the 3BP.

[Qinglong]

I don't have Waver/Sca/Jack for this so I'm going to have to figure out a different team setup

most of the bronzes I own aren't leveled either

[kotelo]

holy baby jesus christ

[Snax]

Looks like a bit less than what I do with my Waver - Sca - Jack combo.

hahahahahahah such losers.

F-For real? I never go below 2m and always lose around turn 11 or so...
