Talk:Nero Festival Redux ~2017 Autumn~/@comment-77.248.164.62-20170919111850

For anyone still struggling with both the nerfed and the prototype version of the match, the "easiest" way to clear the fight is to try and burst everything down. To do so you need to have access to a servant that can one turn Ozymandias and Nero. I cleared this fight without SSR's but by using taunts for and invulnerabilities on one berserker who would proceed to destroy everything. D'eon and Mashu work spectacularly well in absorbing blows and especially d'eon's cleanse is a great starter. You can use the atlas suit to get rid of Jack's debuff at the start on your main damage dealer as well as have an additional invulnerability.

Then, you build your NP gauge while destroying both Jack and Amakusa within 4 turns, preferably without having to resort to an NP. You can then use all your cooldowns to delete Ozymandias before any additional buffs kick in. Then on turn 5, you can use your suit invulnerability to tank Lancer Artoria's NP. Hopefully your first two servants die so you can get access to new buffs. Don't forget to use the cooldown reduction skill properly throughout the fight when you need it most.

At this stage, you want to break Nero's first guts and preferably 2nd guts by using your new servants to tank, buff or remove buffs from Nero. Charge up another NP quickly and try to be fully buffed. In my runs I got the NP back the next turn and used it while still buffed to take out Nero's first guts and an additional one with the leftover cards. At this point, I figured I could garantuee a kill by using CS to refresh the NP of the berserker (and leave nothing to chance). I oneshot the Lancer with an NP and used the leftover cards to take out the last guts of Nero. Now with no guts on nero and Medea still alive, you want to line up a NP BB chain (preferably, but be pragmatic), and NP Medea and use the buster chain's defense ignoring property to kill Nero in the same turn.
