I managed to solo XRD2 Tower. I will not be discussing how many times I had to die and proc Gal Wind outside the warp to beat it. I'm glad that our quality team on Ephinea would never let something like this fly now. It's a true exercise in "artificial difficulty." If the only way to beat something is by using exploits, it's not well made. I just wanted to see if I could do it. Never again.
First time ever. I usually just get to S Rank and do whatever, but this time I really like all of the HBR quests- except the Tower part of XRD2, that is. (See above.)
After hunting hit% HS in every relevant hbr for a couple of years and looting 35+ hitless strikers (one NMU hbr had 15 drops alone) the curse is broken and I finally find one off Kondrieu.
I started this hunt back in late 2018, was on and off, and just came back to Ephinea after some 15 month hiatus. Sure is nice to not have to put in 4x the adjusted rate (*cough*SJS*cough):
