[MapleStory SEA] Genesis Weapon Quest - Hard Lucid Solo with VanarisDB (Night Lord)

Rise Patch just hit on yesterday, it's still the middle of the month and I'm still training as a Night Lord so I decided to attempt the quest for fun to see how far I can go without my Dual Blade's i-frames and Arcaneshade weapon (I'm using a Fafnir Risk Holder).

As you may observe through the run, I was hardly prepared; no damage special cores, forgot to use guild noblesse skills until midway in phase 2, forgot to change out of my exp link skills, left my crit rate at 94%, and the list goes on...

I was at 30% of the last bar in phase 2 when I accidentally cast Bleeding Toxin, which has a 200 seconds cooldown and I was forced to run down the clock. Lost my last 2 expendable lives as a result and almost died out right before transitioning into phase 3, certainly broke some cold sweat. Damage buff from guild noblesse and guild potion expired as a result. Transition into phase 3 was good and the rest is history, the 24%hp nerf to hard Lucid has certainly exceeded our expectations. The nerf to phase 1 and phase 2 was crucial as well, saving death counts in phase 1 especially, and allowing more time wasting in phase 2.

I can't help but get excited about liberating the genesis weapon now that the 2 toughest quests are out of the way. See you in June, Heretic Hilla!
