Extermination: Crystal Guardian – Star Ocean: Anamnesis

Crystal Guardian – Extermination : SEED MISSION

• 2 Minion Waves [4 Fodder / 4 Fodder + 1 Mech]
• 1 Boss Wave [Crystal Guardian + 2 Mechs]

Strong VS: Standard Damage

Weaknesses: Crits / Dark / Lightning

Vulnerabilities: Paralyze / Freeze

–Recommended Characters–

• Maria (+Crit Boost after Rush)
• Anne (Passive Crit Boost)
• Faize (Dark Damage + Stun Potential)

Note: If you don’t have a reliable way to increase crit procs, you will not be able to complete this fight without a lot of time and a major headache. Maria is plenty easy to come by, so the former should not be an issue. Note that Maria’s crit boost happens AFTER the rush phase has completed, so let her solo rush before using any other rushes in order to deal substantial damage to Crystal.

If you play Maria and encounter others who insist on rush chaining, the easiest way to deal with this is use the speed at which you build rush meter to burn it before anyone else has theirs, or allow everyone else to use theirs before using yours solo.

EDIT – Did a FULL edit to make this less of an inquisitive post due to my lack of knowledge, and instead provide pertinent info related to the mission that may be able to help people without digging through comments.
