I know it's a very odd, very specific question, but it came up while discussing placozoa with a friend who plays D&D and we'd like to know what a taxonomy expert thinks.

Dark Golem is tough, I needed to EX+2 Terra to cap it. My Edgar is just EX+1 and Sora is EX+2. If you saw my video last DV for Odin, it is basically the same. Just watch out if Golem says he will use Petrify Blow (a random ST Non Elemental Physical Attack with +95% accuracy) the next turn, you should have Mirage for the whole party. In my video, he will use Maddening Water on turn 3 but I still used mirage and the chaining as if he will use Petrify Blow. So here's the video and the turn by turn guide for this fight:

Notes: Attacks #3 and #4 occur at random. Dark Golem telegraphs the attacks a turn before he uses them. Something like "Dark Golem is preparing Petrifying Blow... or Maddening Waters?..." #3 can be miraged but it will still land the status ailment. Both didn't happen on my clear but one or two did on my previous clears.

This might be my last Rank 1 in Dark Visions. I really struggled with Dark Golem. He is sooo THICK. I had to use all my UoC tickets to get Weapons Specialist and Originator of the Final Summoning. At least those STMRs will be useful in the future. . Feel free to share your clears and tips.

Just like the title says, I have no idea how I managed this, perhaps out of frustration, lots of energy pots, and a sudden NV Physalis coming from the heavens today. So, in case you have the same (or better) setups than me, you can still achieve that wonderful perfect score :) I hope this helps you somehow! (Sorry if the format looks too long, still learning)

In the following link you will find the setup I used for this clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHgGgmjjyu0

Summary: Kryla Buffs 50% Ice resistance, GLS buffs 100% dark resistance, Summer Fid provides dual AR chaining skill for max hit score. All characters must have at least 50% passive Ice resistance. All characters but GLS must have at least 0% Dark resistance, GLS needs 70% at least.

Keep in mind that the damage was damn exact, I am quite sure a bit less MAG in any of those characters, and it means you get a score below 2.14. Also, consider that my Black Roselia had no IW MAG bonus,, so Emperor can still have higher damage potential. Sadly, for this one you need Sora's STMR to achieve max LB DMG.

T1:

GLS - (Grim Candy Master) Grim - Will - o' - Wisp + Candy Feast

Kryla - Nullifying Chant (must be activated right after GLS's will o wisp) + Malicious Curse + Emberfrost

Summer Fid - Water Flight + Aqua Hunter + Ocean Cooldown (pretty sure it's not needed)

SElena - Stella Maris + Lux Overflow x2

Physalis - Water Splash (DW x2)

Emperor - Water Splash (DW x2)

T2:

GLS - LB

Kryla - (Brave Shift) Spellbook Offense Boost on GLS + Sacrilegious Ritual on GLS x2

Summer Fid - (Brave Shift) Party Rockin' Beach + Mog Beach Ball Blitz + Aqua Replenishment

SElena - LB

Physalis - (Brave Shift) Strongest Limit Shot + Magic Gunner Type + Premium Moog Bullet

Emperor - (Brave Shift) Kneel Before Me x3 + Absolute Fire

T3: This is the tricky turn. Here you need to send Fid's LB first, and wait a loooong time (when the sand castle is fully built, it has 3 height stages), then, send Kryla first, and in less than half a second, send GLS, SElena, Emperor, and Physalis. This should net you 88 hits, and a perfect score :)

GLS - Grim Soul Blade x3

Kryla - Elemental Wrath + Weakening Conoction x2

Summer Fid - LB

SElena - Gemini Blade x3

Physalis - LB

Emperor - LB

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

Where ever you left it 🤷‍♀️🤭

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

It was about a weak back.
