Academy Ghost Story · Current cycle combat guide
Ultimate and Follow-Up ATK DMG dealt by allies increases by 50%. Each Ultimate or Follow-Up ATK adds one hit to Memory Turbulence, up to 15 hits.
At the start of every cycle, each stored hit deals one instance of True DMG to a random enemy.
The final challenge expands from two sides to three encounters. Each one requires a different team, and characters cannot be reused between encounters.
Build three separate teams and prioritize Ultimate or Follow-up heavy rotations.
Break Silent Sorrow quickly and remove Long-Shattered Vessels to strip Calamity Power and prevent repeated heavy attacks.
Manage Grudge Ablaze carefully. Extinguish it when the team can absorb the HP cost, then burst during the recovered action window.
Win the Live Showdown sub-field before its countdown ends. Attack the Output Ports to control popularity and avoid the amplified Chat Bombing punishment.
Save Ultimates for the start of a cycle and chain Follow-up attacks to reach 15 stored hits quickly.
Starward Mode prevents reusing the same characters, so reserve one complete team for @SparxiConOfficial.
Graphia and SparxiCon punish failed mechanics heavily. A reliable sustain is usually worth more than a fragile zero-cycle setup.
