Maleficent B Event Guide!

Sorry about the guide delay again - I stayed up way too late working for Lux rankings and by the time 3am came around I was exhausted (and I work Mondays!)

So let’s get down to it. Maleficent B is your reward - a reversed magic AOE damage medal that costs 5 gauges. It’s not amazing on its own, but coupled with Moogle O’ Glory’s fourth slot and the “boosted” (+1000) Maleficent you can obtain, it’s quite useful. Actually, with the current climate of reversed magic - there hasn’t been a single event! - Maleficent B is invaluable for the F2P/C2P market. But of course there’s a catch: this event is uniquely very easy and very difficult.

The easy part: completing all 15 missions gets you 12 Maleficent medals total, which is obviously overkill. Actually, by the time you finish Mission 13, you already have eight. So to guilt Maleficent, you don’t need to complete the event. This is a good thing because

The hard part: the first objective for each mission requires you to bring reversed medals. The final three missions actually require you to have a complete set of reversed medals! And I don’t know about you guys, but my reversed medals suck. And for some added incentive, the boosted Maleficent can only drop from the final enemy group in Mission 15.

So let’s get into the enemy list, and I’ll talk strategy afterward. Each mission has three rooms; in the first two rooms, you can pick one of two groups to fight in order to progress to the next room. The target is in the final room. This is actually really useful because you can plan which group you want to attack.

Strategy:

Alright, this is about to get complicated. There are two strategies to this event. The first one is the reversed-only requirement. Since each mission gives you an extra Maleficent using reversed medals, you generally want to try to do that. RAX makes a nice return here, as well as GDD medals like Key Art 3, iXion, iAnsem, and HD Axel. Smee as well. Xaldin B and Xigbar B on Divine Rose helps with the copter fleets in Mission 15. Larxene A & B and Marluxia A & B help. WoFF Seph. Your friend medal does NOT have to be reversed, so taking someone’s Minnie&Daisy or KA1 with Second Chance can help a lot. Triple Threat (Status+) is a thing now, so that might help too (though I haven’t used it yet…) But the big thing here is: if you feel like you have to, you can use continues.

The second strategy involves your second run through the mission. You’ll want this if you used a continue the first time or if you want to farm up a boosted Maleficent. The drop rate seems very low, but they are infinite if you put in the time and effort. For this strategy, just make your absolute best keyblade and ignore the reversed requirement. (Actually, because you already have 8-11 Maleficent medals anyway, you don’t have to do the reversed requirement at all! If you have skip tickets, however, you should try for all objectives.) For this strategy you’ll definitely want iB&B (or another +3 Str medal but the cleanse helps a lot!). Use WoFF or J&S. Anything that ignores attributes. Training Ver. Mickey (or whatever it’s called in the global version), SDG B. Second Chance. Strong single target if your Nova can help with the enemies in the last group. I’m still a huge advocate of Xigbar B here.

In short, you can guilt Maleficent without doing Missions 14 and 15. If you want the boosted version and can’t get the right reversed setup, ignore the reversed entirely. Do you. Kick ass.

Alright this guide is way too long already so I’m going to call it there.

Good luck!! Event ends 4/2!!

PSA: As an aside, with the announcement of the awakening system in Union x, it might be better to hold off on actually guilting (or combining) Maleficent until the update hits. This is because of the trait system and all that… I won’t get into it here, but you should definitely keep it in mind when combining medals before the update.

Maleficent HSC Guide

It’s that time of week.  A new High Score Challenge!  This time the rewards are Maleficent and Pete!  Maleficent is a big deal.  She’s a premium Tier 4 and the magic-reversed equivalent of Illustrated Black Coat Mickey.  And instead of being locked behind 200 dollars or luck, you can get it with a lot of perseverance and… well, still luck.

Here’s the multipliers:

HD Sora and the three new Epic children are up at 21% and 14%.  iBCM is holding strong at 10%.  And guess what: all those Meow Wow’s you farmed up are 7% too!  And if you got Marluxia from the event, that’s 7% too.  Honestly, it’s a very considerate list.

As for the challenge itself, it’s another gauntlet-style “kill all you can before you die” sort of thing.  At the beginning, you’ll choose which pathway you want.  One for each type.  Each room only has one enemy group to kill, then you move onto the next one.  There is no returning back to previous rooms.  Sometimes there are Special chests, but no health ones (to my knowledge).  Unfortunately, I didn’t get far with Speed or Magic medals, so I’m not sure exactly how far these things go.  If you have more to add, please comment and I’ll put them on the list.

Rewards:

You get a Pete at 5, 7, 8, and 10 million points.  There’s a lot of magic mirrors along the way.  The top 1000 ranked get the equivalent of 4 Petes.  The top 2000 get 3.

As for Maleficent, the top 5000 get one, up to a guilted version for the top 200.

Strategy:

Very unlike the previous HSC, this one is based on skill and medals.  Multipliers are important, but more so is killing the enemies and moving onto the next group.  Combining the two is difficult, but with Marluxia and Meowjesty it’s not too bad.  Status plus or second chance are basically required for lv. 400 and higher.

I’m hungry and Gilmore Girls just came out on Netflix so that’s it.  Good luck!  Ends 12/01!
