Rabbie Phantasm Clear: Medic Requested

[Fl0rn]

First time i've cleared it, hell of a lot of effort.  It's my proud moment on mabi for the week.  And my shame is going through nearly 20 revival stones for one run.








For those wondering/wanting tips.  Lullaby and Rain Casting are utterly useless and won't affect anything, so don't bother.  Frozen blast and shadow bind also do not seem to work.  Hydra does damage, but it's so low you won't really want it.  Sitting a puppet outside the door does not work, the mobs don't seem to aggro things outside the room, not fully tested this but did do it a time or two to see if it'd work. 

There are a lot of wraiths, essentially purple ghosts.  They get standard ghost moves as well as a roar to both desummon your pets and debuff you to prevent more summons.  The roar causes stun for like 1 second or so, and will kill you if in deadly.  The wraiths don't normally spam it, but rather do it when you approach a set distance to them for the first time, and seem to do it periodically after some time has passed.  They seem more prone to roar if you go deadly though.

Lightning rod still does a nice chunk of damage to some of the mobs, cc+4 fire wand is very useful for those willing to use it.  I do not advise using weak aoe with the exception of hydra.  Rather, i strongly recommend a high ranked sand burst.  At its best, with no reforges, you can hit a mob with it while using earth type cylinder and rebis, and by time blind wears off you'll be able to hit the same mob again with blind.  Now, i point this out, because once you hit the second floor it will be a godsend.  If you wanna know why, you can do a bit of digging on the dungeon, i won't ruin it for those like me who like to experience it first hand.

Sand burst does not affect the final boss.  However boss will summon lesser mobs as soon as one of the mobs dies, to replace the lost one, and sand burst will be wonderful support for keeping them locked down while your team hammers away at the boss.


I see mana shield used a lot, personally i don't bother with it anymore as whatever's going to hit me that warrants using it, will strip the shield in one hit.  Life drain is decent.  Shield of trust with recovering touch subskill to heal wounds is great.  Always be aware of your party's health, otherwise you'll be quickly ganked.  Until you've had enough practice that you know you can handle it, i strongly advise party feathers and revival stones of some sort.

Congratulations on the clear! Truly commendable, wish I had friends to do it too.

I have to say my first time of Phantasm was pretty cool however I was left as the healer and feather spammer as my party members did not want a wipe on the first floor. Found out you can't even Meteor Strike from outside the room either.
I only joined in the fight once we reached 2nd floor, Lich's Smash is terrifying but nice touch on idea of have to kill both Lich roughly the same time or the fallen Lich will be res'd by the alive one in 30 secs(?).
Boss room was a mess besides our constant Sand Burst and Brio boss, FH attempts. I was the only capable person to do the Sweet Illusion as most of my party members use FH, Sand Burst, Brio and I have the least lag.  Overall after 2-3 hours we cleared the run.
I also found out you can mount a pet and get roar'd the debuff only effects the mount. I assume it would not desummon it but it apparently does(I need to check this), but because you have no debuff it you can instantly summon a different pet.

Haha, that sure sounds entertaining. It's phenomenal how long that whole dungeon lasts. Do you consider the run slower than usual?

I actually tried to enter there by myself, the mirror version that is. Assuming I would actually be able to clear off a few rooms.

Of course, I proceeded to get completely destroyed in an instant. I'm just that pathetic, haha.

I would say Phantasm is just an upgraded version of Mirror. Take the Mirror mobs and multiply their hps, damage, def, prot by more than twice. The length of the dungeon is the same except in Phantasm there's 1-3(?) more mobs in the spawns than usual exception for Gargoyles and Lich's rooms. Mirror is pretty much waterdown version for the lower lvl tier of the real thing, sadly only title obtainable in Mirror is killing the queen, Queenslayer. Phantasm will get the other titles.

Queenslayer seems to be iffy too.  I've been in a party with finish to any so that i could get the kill for the title, everyone backed off when the boss had like 0.5% hp left and i bash spammed her.  Got both the final hit and the finisher on her, and no title.

That I can't really confirmed how to work with it. I did got finish during Mirror run when I tried it out, I used pair of guns and got finish because I was the only party member capable to counter her Illusion.  Queenslayer title is a nice name to it but stat wise, not very.
