Whats your most hated mechanich in this game?

Unless he gets really nasty if the fight drags on unusually long, division is never required.

To my awareness, his maths questions (besides Indivisible) are all phrased as "divide by X" but all it's really asking is "make your HP equal X or a multiple of X".

Basic times tables and then addition: if he's asking for 4, first see if you can add to 4 – and you can't do that because you have 5 HP, you need to go for 8 instead.

I am pretty sure he also phrases something along the lines of "make number multiple of X" But I might be thinking 'multiples' because that is how I handle the mechanic. I am only looking for the number, or if it is primes. If it is number, I immediately make my number a multiple or equal to the number Mathbot instructs. I know it boils down to addition, but there are actually all kinds of interesting little processes that take place at lightning speed for mechanics like these, left/right, and other mechs where you can't rely on the positions of the other players to save you.

Most hated mechanic? Hmm... That one where it lets ppl select easy mode on solo MSQ duties if they fail it because it lets ppl into endgame that don't know how to do mechanics?

I'm pretty sure that's just your memory of how to handle it, because that is what the "divide by" questions are asking you to do.

Things like super chess in DSR, Index Peripheral in O12S and E8S P2 first mirrors. My spatial reasoning is not great.

Especially if I have to turn the camera at any point, it just instantly overloads the reasoning process for these and all rational thought is lost. I can do these mechs in a top-down 2D view no problem, but as soon as it's in the 3D space, it takes too long to work it out.

For me it's mechanics that aren't consistent...

This knock back can be blocked with sure cast. But this knock back can't..

This doom requires a full heal but this one requires esuna and this one requires something else.

I know there's more examples but my minds gone blank. But basically anything that isn't consistent or involves words like prevents most x in description.

Any kind of orb. The hitboxes to intercept them are just mad fcked.

Yeah, that's the issue. Anything beyond simple addition, subtraction, multiplication or division causes problems for me. And that might be simple for some, if not most, but not for me. That's just how my brain works. lol

I cant math but that mechanic only gave me problems in release.

I look at my hp, look what number he wants… and just either match it or go 1x higher (if its 4 i go 4 or 8, if its 3 i go 3 or 6). I dont really do math, i just count.
Primes are 3, 5, 7, 11 and apparently 2, just remembering.

Like legit, you dont understand how bad i am at math. Math is my bane, numbers… i hate numbers. I cant concentrate on math even if my life depended on it.

But mathboss? Nah that dude‘s counting, not math. If you math at this boss, you‘re using way too much brainpower for simply having to match the number he wants or going 1x higher.
Like its minimal level of "math" where 2+2, 3+3, 4+4 basically to get where you want.

But people make this mechanic sound so complicated when all you do and mostly are able to do (if your hp is low) is match the number he wants.
If i have 2 hp and he wants divided/substracted by 4 (doesn't matter, both have the same thought process), i go into 2, to make it 4.
If i have 5 HP and he wants divided/substracted by 4, i go into the 3 thing to make it 8.
The numbers don't really go beyond 12 or anything like that so you're (mostly) just doing single digit.... your number+whatever number pad(if even one, you can be the right one from the get go) to match the number on his attack name.
Or match your number to be a prime number for indivisible.

I get enough time to count numbers at least because i'm so bad at math that legit have to count 5 and then + 1 2 3... oh yeah that makes 8 lmao. Heck, i even call out the numbers mostly before the mechanic if people are new/struggling.

What I can't do is the floor mechanic on Zodiark because i can't visualize it lol
