As I've always said: "A sloppy attempt is an effort nonetheless. If the day is done, it's a win in my books." I don't blame you if your dodging is sloppy and you went for a few greedy attacks - being out of practice will do that to a person. That's why I like to use the Training Area beforehand to get my skills back in check before I attempt the Kairos Gate. Always put in at least 20 minutes of practice so you're back in form.
I gotta say quickly that following this I’ve copied your build and it’s immensely more fun that what I was running. I was running a build that maximised stagger damage and while I was walking away with 300,000+ stagger damage it just wasn’t any fun anymore. Thanks for the help.
Hi glad that worked out for you. When I started the DLC I wanted to move away from the max stagger > Zantetsuken builds that became unfun by then end of my 100% play through of main game. Felt encouraged to play with newer / different tools especially now that we can save eikon loadouts.
Since you rely on Leviathan for evasion, I'd master "Diamond Dust" and switch Shiva for Titan, that way you have Leviathan for ranged attacks and Titan for defense. Odin wants to get up close more often, than using flying slahes.
Oh for sure. I mentioned to another comment -- this was a first attempt and blind reaching the last floor. If I were to redo the fight I’d have a skill or two swapped out and just wait and counter more intently. Not remembering what’s coming and getting punished for not fighting this guy since a year ago was not on the agenda at this time haha
@@YUXKE I appreciate it when games have a boss rush/boss selection mode like this, or DMC'5s Bloody Palace. You can train against bosses, learn their patterns, or try out defferent experiments. I for example, wouldn't dare to fight Odin with Phoenix, Ramuh and Garuda, that combination gives the fewest advantages against Odin. 😅
@@solracstormhunter3023My combination is Shiva, Bahamut and Titan. The trick is use Megaflare as often as you can, punish with Permafrost as often as possible while relying on Titan to block most close quarters attacks. As for abilities, I personally like to rely on Impulse and Gigaflare for Bahamut, Raging Fists and Windup on Titan with Diamond Dust and Mesmerize on Shiva, or the occasional Judgment Bolt as replacement. All abilities I mentioned have quite the high Stagger rating and little time to execute, but to secure yourself not getting cheap-shotted, after an ability ends, you'll want to be on Titan and use the block right after.
Too clumsy. You get bodied at 3:05 for being too greedy, so the fight becomes a cowardly Will of the Wykes / Leviathan snooze fest to salvage the Kairos run. There are a couple more mistakes here and there that I am sure you too could realise on the fly, like wasting at a certain point whatever little was left of your Limit Break without recovering HP and dealing with a tense situation where getting hit could have been the end. Congratulations on completing the run though.
You are correct on all accounts. This was a first attempt and blind, and I just wanted to get it done. Performance is definitely barely serviceable haha, no arguments there.
Imagine taking the time to shit on someone playing a video game and posting their first clear online. Some of OP's early stuff was nasty, and it didn't really become a snoozefest. For a first run it was better than what most people would do. Also, nearly everyone who plays this game crutches zantsetsuken and diamond dust, who the hell cares if OP uses Wykes?
@@christopher_lorenHey, I don't treat them as a crutch. I only use that stuff with the Assailment Bit to maximize the full damage on Zantetsuken. Will-o' the Wykes, I'll admit, is a grace for if your dodging is sloppy and you're out of practice.

This is a blind run 1st attempt at the last floor. Don’t expect high performing gameplay here.

I love that he looks like Odin!
My favourite Eikon! 🥶
Bro I can’t believe this ain’t got 1 mil views that combo was crazy
Odin. This is a human sized Odin.

@@YUXKE I will admit, that build absolutely saved my ass during the omega fight when it began summoning that back hole.
great finisher
New Ultima abilities are quite insane!
