Started playing recently and can't get around this Lucci Ultimate Radius event 60 stamina difficulty. I lose on 3/5 I can't damage the marine and he one shots after two turns. How can I get around that? I watch videos and people get specials so quick all of mine are around 15-20+ turns and aren't charged up in time for round 3 and this generally stops me in the harder events.

[u/coughing-fit → u/Bloatfizzle]

You’ll need to level the specials on your characters. Farm the manual islands that drop your team’s books

[u/Bloatfizzle → u/coughing-fit]

Do you get overall boost for each character that has special levels or is it just for the character who is captain?

[u/coughing-fit → u/Bloatfizzle]

You’ll want special levels on everyone, it makes the special charge faster. Ideally everyone will have a maxed special but you don’t necessarily need everyone to have a maxed special for every quest

[u/Bloatfizzle → u/coughing-fit]

Thanks, do you know what happens at stage 3 for the Lucci event? The marine takes no damages and I don't get how you get around that.

[u/rddt78 → u/Bloatfizzle]

He has a 2 turn 2-hit Great Barrier. So you need to hit him with 2 Greats before you can do actual damage.

That would be the most easy solution. Other ways would be:

• to wait it out
• using characters with Barrier Penetration (a LB ability)
• using a special to reduce the duration of that barrier
• using a special dealing damage that ignores barriers
• using a captain (ie Carrot, Blackbeard) or swap (ie Luffy/Law) ability to bypass the barrier

Hitting 2 greats is the easiest way though

[u/Bloatfizzle → u/rddt78]

Thanks that did the trick now on 5/5 Rob Lucci gets a red skull that stops him from taking damage what is the workaround for that? And is there a guide that explains all these buffs?

[u/rddt78 → u/Bloatfizzle]

The red skull means he get enraged (usually enemies gain x1,5 attack during X turns) and has a wait timer of 1 instead of 2 or more, meaning he will attack the next turn.

That has no effect on his defenses though, perhaps you need to find ways to increase your damage output.

There should be a basic guide in the main post above.

You can also hold your finger over the characters on the top and bottom screen to see a lot of info. Holding down these icons also show you a lot of information (like the 2 hit Great Barrier, and Lucci's Enrage)

[u/Bloatfizzle → u/rddt78]

Thanks for the advice, my team has at least 1.5 atk and I took a friend Kaido so maybe I'm just not timing the attacks properly.

[u/rddt78 → u/Bloatfizzle]

Some ideas is to put some strong PSY powerhouse/striker characters (as they are boosted by Kaido), perhaps some health cutters, just read the guide and don't rely on Kaido to help you out all the time.

Some content is Kaido-proof :)

[u/GoldFishPony → u/Bloatfizzle]

What is the team you’re using just to make sure it all makes sense together

[u/GoldFishPony → u/Bloatfizzle]

So I just tested the idea of your team, by no damage did you mean kaido didn’t do his damage and your units didn’t do very much? Because on stage 4 the random guys with super high defense but little health will despair your friend captain if you don’t kill them and despair makes it so captain abilities don’t work which means kaido isn’t doing his damage nor boosting your team. The counter to that would be either kill them in one turn or bring a despair reducer on your team

[u/HalfHeart1848 → u/Bloatfizzle]

You might want to try some of the forest training missions or look up buffs/debuffs. You will not beat the forests probably, but they do explain what all of the mechanics in the game do if you are confused.
