Lotus Stage 1

xxHorntailxx · January 2018

Hey all. I'm a Demon Avenger and I was doing 2 Normal Lotus runs last night but I was kind of struggling but I really don't have much of a problem with stage 2 and 3 since I found a strategy to survive longer. I had 14 seconds left and was able to get almost like a little less than 5% HP left. I suppose I have enough damage to kill it but staying alive in Stage 1 is the problem. The main problem is getting killed by the lasers, especially when you enter the map since they don't show mercy and they would hit you damage per like .25 seconds. IT WAS FEROCIOUS! I have 292% Boss, almost 4 mil clean with 88% pdr. Not even using Tyrants due to Demon Avengers not benefiting from the first 5 stars (you're basically spending at least 275 million for nothing on DAs). As a fact, Demon Avengers are already strong on its own either way (running a Chaos Vellum hat to cover a full set of CRA and 5 set Absolab to maximize as much stats as possible w/o losing anything from either). The real question is, is there some kind of factor that would cause the laser rotation speed to rise? Unless if RNG's playing the role. Would love to hear some advice. Stage 1 sure did slow me down the most.

The laser rotation speed is random, from my experience in Lotus Runs. For my party, if we are doing "too well" it seems the lasers will speed up and kill off most of us just to keep us on our toes.

That's what I've found, too. I usually try to duo with a friend and the laser speed feels completely random. Some runs, it rotates at a normal pace, and for others, well, it picks up. On most occasions, the laser twitches out, resulting in us dying a couple of times.
