━━━ PotD(50) [2 DPS + 1 WHM] ━━━

Akii needed help clearing Palace of the Dead.
Many friends were either resting or preoccupied.
We couldn't find a 4th member but decided to yolo lol.
I wasn't sure how well we would fare in it because we were relatively new:

• Me - Completed once with Ling, Art & Wulf.
• Akii - Previously ran up till 30+ before wiping.
• Mika - Freshly new to PotD.

We solidify our PotD fundamentals along the way.
Taught Akii that the Character Info was where we access Pomander.
Akii taught me that there was a 1 hour time limit for every 10 floors.

I had to hold myself more accountable to know which Pomanders does what,
but ended up being guided by Akii for that.
Realized while writing now, that I could've just look up the wiki instead of learning by Trial & Error...

I'm still the dedicated Rage pomander user 😂

Especially on the higher floors.
I think we weren't certain of to fight or avoid. We could stealth or ignore some areas. The general rule to me: if an enemy has higher level than us, it means we're underleveled, and we should kill or loot more for EXP; erring on the side of caution with calculated risks...

Like hypothetically speaking, the worst case of scenario could be:
Set off some traps while fighting multiple mobs; Skatene (Patrol) puts us all to Sleep (with Chirp) for 15s; and our healer gets overwhelmed. That's a potential wipe. Like... a chain of unfortunate events...
Though... likely chances we could save the run with a Pheonix Down

I do feel that the general rule is a bit redundant though. Since we reached Lv60 (level cap) around the 42nd floor if I recalled right... near the end.

When we reached the 50th floor, I was too focused on reminding team about boss's Cold Feet (Hysteria debuff skill); that I missed Akii's reminder for our DPSs to use Pomander of Strength.
(Were wiped by Cold Feet multiple times in my 1st few PotD runs with Wulf,Art,Ling)

I asked if we were ready, waited for a reply... and decided to whack to start the fight.. Only to catch a glimpse of the follow-up reminder about Pomanders;
Oops! Sleight of hand on my Pomander while the boss begun retaliating :X

After a long duel, we won the final floor on our first try!

━━━ Lotus Parasol Fun ━━━

Something super random.

Before I went to do DR with the party, I was trying to hop above the large leaf exterior furnishing at our FC house. I settled on jumping from the roof, and on to it for the reach.
(I think the table doesn't have enough height for me to reach it)

idk, my brain just wondered whether I could make it look like the plant impaled me for fun...

And so I ended up with this:

━━━ DR Sastasha (Hard) ━━━

Just some DR photos from Sastasha (Hard).
Always thought it was spelled "Satasha"

If you're wondering what Mikazuki is doing;
It is because I caught them on their later emotes in my gpose.
I think he's in the middle of /converse when I screencap that.

Wulf's one has Mika still in his healing action,
and Amaya chewing on an Onigiri🍙 (emote).

I really like how the colors contrasted against the desaturated background.
The Cel Shading also helped better define the characters too~
Always thought it was spelled "Cell Shading"...
    
Wulf pointed out the nice 3D effect with the blossom petals protruding the black bar frame around the picture.
