Are you all liars?

Or am I just doing Azwan Hard mode wrong? Whenever I ask people how long it takes them to do Hard Attack mode, they usually say around 20 seconds - 60 seconds, meanwhile their damage is pretty average. However whenever I do Hard Attack mode, it takes at least 3-4 minutes of just standing there doing 150k's with Mille Aiguilles and occasionally dodging the insta-death fire pillars. Is there some secret? Enlighten the Badger pls.

I take like 40 seconds in my DS.
The trick is to use stuff that can teleport you across the owl tower in a invencible state, like rush skills or maybe lumi/kanna's teleport (not sure about the normal one) and kill the guardian statue.

It takes me around maybe a minute or two, I do about 300k x 2 with mille aiguilles.

they're liars. I usually take 15 seconds but I do max damage as a dual blader.

That's not what I'm saying. It's just that it's hard to understand how people with less damage than me can do Azwan faster.

Yeah running straight for the tower in back helps a lot. Except for if I mess up and die, then I have to wade through an army of mobs and the first tower to make my way back lol. I remember my friend was finishing hard mode in under 10 seconds back when wh's had no delay on their skills lol.

[quote=BadgerDontCare]Lol this is what I'm talking about, everyone saying 20-40 seconds, makes no sense, unless you all have like 100k ranges.[/quote]

[quote=Masterobert]Do not try and solo, go party instead. When you do party mode, you DC less.
Find a group that wants to do Azwan runs for Honor EXP. I did daily runs before, and our party did 13 second runs.
One day I have gotten over 660K Honor EXP, and even more the next day. I'm level 60 Honor now with a 30 attack inner ability.
What I'm trying to say is, just go find a party. A party full of people with your range will have a decent time of 20 second runs. Good luck![/quote]

I would, but it's hard to find anyone to party with in the first place The people who are already in parties come and go in like 3 seconds, impossible to ask to join them lol.

EDIT: You also barely use any potion. I almost never had to use potions, the only time I actually used a potion was to regain my MP.
@BadgerDontCare: Just create one and recruit people from your alliance/guild, go to the listings on Basil. You'll find people, trust me. I might join you and do some runs as well. Also, go to the party search and apply to the party. I'm sure they will accept you.

[quote=LightCuber]For me I just have to get lucky and not die half way through its HP. Usually it just spams instant death lasers which are usually very, very annoying to dodge. I'd get 1.5 minute times given no deaths, but with any number of deaths it takes me 2-5 minutes and at least 20 power elixers.[/quote]

Glad to finally see someone who's times are just like mine. Not saying I'm glad your time is lower than what seems to be the average though, lol.

Takes me around 30 seconds to kill it including the time it takes me to fj there. If you have a potion pot and auto pet hp, you can just click the screen again to attack it a few seconds more before you get sent back.

@gardenimp That's exactly what I do.
@PitchBlack0 Pretty sure Mille + SE is better than RF post-nerf.
@DahliaDuh Even if I did think of doing that, I don't think it would protect against fire column's of death.

It's hard to do if you don't have the range, or are a class without good mobility.

Ironically, I just solo'd Hard Mode Aswan for the first time today when I previously couldn't with a lower range.

[quote=PitchBlack0]Also don't use mille. Use rapid fire. Your not at the point where mille out dpms rf[/quote]

She/He is 195 so hyper mille + S.E > RF also mobs spawn on top of the statue which mille quickly deals with
and I think your doing something wrong b-ecause I hit like 110k with mille and I finish in a good min -2 min depending on
if i die and have to rebuff (10 buffs -_-) also use final feint. It surprises me how many phantoms forget they have the skill.......

[quote=gardenimp]you only have to beat the end statue on the right side nothing else. so just flashjump all the way there and smash it.[/quote]

This. You have to jump across the screen before the first owl tower spawns. Then just hope for the best not to die.

Hard mode can be brutal if you don't have the kind of damage to deal with the increased HP/DEF mobs.
