I've recently been spending most of my online time in HIVE, hunting the board for Agito Repca, for my Beast fF. I'm now upto 162 True Darkness S2 runs, and around 15 Dark Satellite S2 runs, with no board (8 Edges though.)
I've heard a lot of people with conflicting opinions on which is the best mission to hunt this board in.
Dark Satellite S2
+ Lots of Monsters (125 or so?)
+ Soloable for S-Rank
- Takes a long time to solo
- Last room is a pain for a Fortefighter (Buffed Carriguine and Gaozoran spawns)
- Dark Satellite tends to have a lot of Gaozorans, which are my biggest problem in Hive, especially in spawns of 3. I have a Freeze / Resist, but they just take ages to kill, and deplete my mates pretty quick if they're in a group.
SEED Awakened S2
+ Again, lots of monsters
+ Again, soloable for S-Rank
+ Nice boss rares
- Takes as long, or even longer than Dark Satellite
- Again, loads of Gaozorans
- Entire Block 4 is buffed enemies
- Both phases of Dulk Fakis
True Darkness S2
+ Very fast (15 mins or less a run). This makes it spammable.
+ Nice boss rares
+ Only fight one phase of Dulk Fakis
+ Only a handful of Gaozorans
- Only 42~ enemies a run
- Not S-Rankable solo
True Darkness seems to have more advantages but I can't help thinking it's a waste of time for 40-odd enemies a run in 15 mins, when I can get 125 in 30-35. The problem is that with Dark Satellite, I find myself abandoning a lot of maps because of large numbers of Jusnagun or Gaozoran.
Does anyone have any idea of:
- which mission is the best to hunt it in?
- Any ways I can get past Gaozoran spawns faster as a Beast fF? At the moment, I've been using either Dus Majarra on multiples, or Renzan Seidan-ga with a Fuka-Misaki (for the Freeze SE- they move around too much otherwise).
Thanks for any help.
