Overview
In the shadow of Kugane's renowned Mujikoza theater, you recount your clash with Susano to the wandering minstrel. Inspired by your tale, he proceeds to commit it to song, his gift for words imbuing events with an intensity you do not quite recall. Such is common practice when adapting for the stage, the minstrel explains, as your mind wanders back to the scene of battle, the verses echoing in your mind...
Strategy Notes
- Susano works very similarly to Normal-mode in this phase, with the addition of a couple new abilities. Susano will announce any of his bigger moves, so pay attention to what he says. The first time he uses a mechanic/move, he will drop a line in chat to give you an idea of what telegraphed line triggers which move, but after that, you're on your own.
- Rasen Kaikyo - Places a circular AoE under four random party members, which will explode after a couple of seconds.
- Churning - "Rise, rise to the occasion!" This move is indicated by water bubbles floating around the arena. Susano will place a debuff called Churning on four random party members that lasts ten seconds. If ANY actions, including movement and Auto-Attacks, are executed while the debuff runs out, you will receive massive damage and a stack of Vulnerability Up. Each of the players will have a cube above their head counting down the final seconds of the debuff, don't do ANYTHING when the that cube appears over your head and starts counting down (note: this includes both moving and auto-attacking, so make sure you hit escape to de-target the boss to avoid auto-attacks).
- Yata No Kagami - "The seas part for we alone!" - A player will be marked with a red marker. After a short time, they will be damaged and knocked up. Susano will hit the entire arena except a very narrow safe line from himself to where the player was at the time they were knocked up. This AoE applies Lightning Resistance Down. Note that despite the marker used, this attack deals no damage to others in the part when the initial knockup occurs, so the player should generally position so they are behind Susano and roughly in line with the rest of the party, to allow the party to more easily anticipate the safe area created.
- Brightstorm - Usually following Yata No Kagami, a stack marker will appear on the previously marked party member. Stack to share damage.
- Dark Cloud - Susano will periodically spawn Dark Clouds. These clouds will cast a wide line Lightning-AoE that inflicts Paralysis.
