Back then, you can still hit with just SV Madrigals, as Bolsters were saved for stuns only because there were no ilevel magic accuracy staff, stuns will get resisted after a minute with apajamasII.

At 143, with SV Madsx2, hunters, Precision Torpor (non bolstered) and distract, and oceanfin etc... hit rate is about 30% lol

In order to win 143 boss, we used 4 (Punyanya, Rokumo, Nivlakian and Katsuoch) Idris GEO's full time bolstering in turns (one more Non-Idris had to bolster focus/languor as the guard NM was Insidious), full time SV Mads etc... In total, 5 freaking Geo's! lol
Bear in mind, this is not with Occult guard NM (evasion boost). If i recall correctly, the guards were Insidius and Brawny (took us 5 times to get to boss with multiple sacs just to get this guard NM Combo, we warp out if it's Occult OR Steadfast as it will be truly impossible to win)
On our winning run, we almost lost at 5% as our last bolster wore, but one of the two wildcard was a success and we managed to wither it down with a final SV and Bolster.

So you could see our frustration here, 18 of us grinding many hours just to get the correct guard NM to pop, and finally won..... just to have our KI's taken away for nothing?

The dreaded Lost KI post
30% hit rate!!! holy crap- can't believe you were able to get the boss HP down before the buffs wore. I can't read Japanese, and the translate function isn't too great, but I'll take your word that the strategy had to be incredibly detailed and executed flawlessly for the win to happen.

Congrats on such an accomplishment. This content is really tough without communication and strategy (and obviously optimal jobs- 5 GEO lol).

Did you guys at least get good loot from your 143 coffers?
