XIII Event Guide: Marluxia

image

Hey everyone!  New event is up!  Apparently every 13th of the month from now on we’re going to be getting Organization events, which I think is pretty great.  They last a week, so be sure to keep up on those! 

This one is for our flower king Marluxia.  His strength is high, his cost is low, and he’s a free guilt.  He does more damage the more enemies die per stage, which is great for HSC.  He’s a little better and a little worse than Hydra/HT Sora, depending on how many enemies were killed, but definitely worth guilting for the lower gauge cost!

The downside: no rerolls!  Good luck!

In KH2 Final Mix, Marluxia would put a counter above your head to indicate a “death timer” based on how many attacks you’ve used against him.  In keeping with the spirit of his character, the enemy you fight - Wandering Spook - has a counter above his head.  Each attack against him - each attack, not each medal! - lowers the counter by one.  When it reaches zero, you get struck by a killing blow.  Second Chance can mitigate this, however.  So the goal is to use as few attacks to do the most damage!  If a medal goes beyond the number above his head (say you use a 13 hit medal on and he has four hits left) and it kills him, it does NOT kill you!  There are 13 stages, and in each stage the counter goes down by 3 (with one exception).

One turning does not matter at all.  All rewards are “complete without continue” and “use appropriate keyblade”.  The keyblade ones always reward 20 jewels (for a total of 260), so they are more like recommendations.  Additionally, killing every enemy in the room is also pointless (unless you need Special!)

Now that we know the rules, here’s the breakdown:

Stage - Counter - Reward
1: 50 - HDL
2: 47 - MM
3: 44 - *Marluxia*
4: 41 - HDL
5: 38 - *Marluxia*
6: 35 - MM
7: 32 - MM
8: 29 - *Marluxia*
9: 26 - Hairstyles!
10: 23 - *Marluxia*
11: 20 - *Marluxia* - If you’re having problems, use LL instead of Starlight

12: 17 - *Marluxia*
This is where it gets hard.  Instead of one Wandering Spook, there are two, each with a counter of 17.  Both of your enemies are Speed type and are level 180, so you should use Power medals.  

Good medals for this event are obviously buff medals (iKairi, Pooh, Piglet) but avoid J&S.  They use too many hits.  Fully buffed, Meowjesty (two hits) is still crazy strong and staggers hits amongst the two of them, so I recommend him.  Rock Titan (1 hit) and Cid (1 hit) are extremely helpful.  Even Riku Replica (two hits) and BC Mickey (1 hit) are great, even though they don’t have a type-advantage.

Don’t forget to use your Nova with +3 Strength!  

13: 13 - *Marluxia* - Title: No. XI
This time you only have one Spook, but there are nine Red Roses, too.  Everything is Level 200 and Power type.  Additionally, you only get 13 hits this time: not 14.

Same as before, use buff medals and no J&S.  Taking out the flowers is essential, because the Spook himself does very little damage.  A +3 Str. Jack (1 hit) will take them out, or a strong +3 Nova with a swipe or two.  Once the flowers are down, take your time with buffs and medals like Hag (1 hit) and Jack.  Antiform Sora is very useful (3 hits).  SDG (3 hits), Ill. Aerith (1 hit), Vexen (1 hit), CoM BC Riku (1 hit) and Halloween Donald (3 hits) are all great.  Wisdom Form (1 hit) and Magician Donald (1 hit) can be good if you have them guilted.  Though honestly, a combination of Jack, buffs, and good friend medals will do the trick.  It’s not a very hard mission: just takes some strategizing.

If worse comes to worse, Second Chance can save you for a turn and it will reset the counter to 13.  I encourage everyone to put up their best guilted medal with 1 or 2 hits or a Second Chance up for your friends!!

That’s it!  Good luck on your Marluxia rolls everyone!  Event ends 11/20!
