I created a profile mostly so that I could ask this question.

How the frag do I avoid getting instantly killed by those idiotic Ob Lilies?:argh:

High EDK.

There's various ways of handling Ob Lillies.

Raise your EDK with equipment like Alex said if you just wanna walk through them like a tank.
Step out of the way of the megid.
Keep out of megid distance and use a long range weapon.
Stun lock it with a ranged weapon so it won't be able to throw more megid.
Hit it with a status effect (Paralyze/Freeze).

IIRC, at least 70 EDK should make you megid proof.

number 2 wont work because of the narrow passage, numbers 3 and 4 won't work because the character i'm using is a hunter and can't use rifles, and number 5 won't work because it requires getting close to them. I'll go with option 1.

[TrueChaos]

a handgun has enough range for you to shoot them outside of megid range

[GoldenFalcon]

I used Holy Ray on them whenever I could (especially when 3 or 4 spawn at once) (HUmar by the way)

Dark Resistance was my best friend on PSO-X. Come to think of it, I think I always had my dark resistance gear on.

[TheToyDolls]

Memory my friend. If you are out of their melee range, they will always shoot megids at nearly the same intervals. Memorize the locations of every Ob Lilly in the room and prioritize them 1 by 1. I rarely get hit by Megids anymore, so all you need is a little situational awareness. Once you have it down, Ob Lillies become much less of a threat and more of an obstacle that you can dance around while killing Vulmers.

[Kei Kurono]

You can also use a Mechgun for those Ob Lillys. If there are two of them close to each other, stand next to one so it won't shoot megid at you, it just coughs (?:D) at you, if you have the right distance, it won't hit you with it. Now, you can kill the other one with a normal/hard/hard, normal/normal/hard combo, depending on the level you are. Just practice a little and they won't be a threat to you anymore ;)

Whether it's Ob Lillies on PSO, or Deljabans on PSU, learning to play "Megid Dodgeball" is an important tactic. :wacko:

Personally, I just used a gun to pick em off from afar most of the time. If I recall, fighting them up-close would often cause them to paralyze you or use their near-death spinny explode move on you. I remember one time I got hit by a Freeze Trap and one of em pecked me to death...

[MeruAmura]

"Megid Dodgeball"

So, So true. Try practising in EP2 Ult dodging the Giant ugly things they spit megid at you. Belive it or not it's easy to dodge even in a small corridor as long as you have at least 2 peoples worth of width.
