    He splits into three clones with no indication on what is the real ADL and which is the clone. If you pick the clone and kill it then it'll just split again. Chances are by then your 2hr PD has worn off and his AoE's are now killing you.

    So yes, 33% chance of you picking the right clone.

    You can have 33% Chance to win and still manage to succeed 6/6. The "33%" Chance is derived from the Idea the ADL Can split into 2, And split again at any time.

    Once it splits the first time, you have a 50/50 Chance to chose the right one, You can still kill both though and win, However, if you chose wrong He can split again. Multiple (2/3/4/More?) ADL's can be up at one time.

    The % People are referring too are the luck factor. At 99, You can probably kill 2-4 Clones, But if you choose wrong too often, You're SoL.

    ADL Is a luck based fight, no question. The Clones split with the same HP, However, So a strategy could be to simply Split your DD, Half fight One clone, half fight the other. So when he splits a second time, He's at much lower HP (if you chose wrong)...

    Theres workable strategies, but the fight in itself still comes down to some amount of luck factor.

    Only issue with that is that ADL has such high offensive power that you won't survive through 2~4 clones. His AoE's can do 1~2k damage to everyone, including mages. They can inflict multiple status ailments, he also can cast cheap spells like Breakga. Since his clones have the same offensive power as he does, fighting two at once will mean twice as many AoE's. Two oblivion smash's or an Oblivion Smash coupled with an Implosion or -ga and you wipe. Your best chance is to guess on one and focus everything you have to kill it as quick as possible and hopefully minimize those crazy AoE's. If you chose the wrong one, then he'll split again. If you brought a second SMN then you have a 2nd chance with another PD zerg (assuming your DD's didn't get whacked). Otherwise he'll just wipe you.
