Strategy

Phase change with background/bgm change occurs at 60% HP. At 45% HP, will use his ultimate attack.

Generally shares moveset with Elga Masquerade in Story Quest 5-6, but lack voice cues for attacks, with the addition of the following:

• His projectile attacks are far stronger
• Anti-air combo - used if you are higher above him than the height of two jumps. Omega Masquerade will teleport up to your height and execute a 3 hit combo in mid-air teleporting between each hit.
• Anti-air barrier - if you are above the height of the broken pillars and you do not move, your damage will be gradually reduced culminating in a 99% damage output reduction. Moving below the height will restore your damage.

Attack Nullification Barrier

Omega Masquerade eventually gains immunity to attacks that are used against him repeatedly. Initially, any attack that causes 20% of his overall HP in damage will be nullified, appearing to hit a barrier and doing no damage. The first time an attack is nullified, an animation will play showing Omega Masquerade putting up the barrier, this animation will interrupt any attack he is currently doing. As depth increases, the threshold for Omega Masquerade gaining immunity to attacks lowers, meaning you must use a greater variety of attacks against him (see below). Any source of damage can be blocked, and if it is blocked, it has no effect. For example, if Omega Masquerade gains immunity to Weak Bullet, the Weak Bullet effect will no longer be applied. Each PA, Tech, Normal Attack (first, second, third), Step Attack, Damaging Weapon Action, Activated Skill, Weapon Potential Effect (ie. Gear Experience's Counter) all count as different attacks. Additionally, Certain PA and Techs utilized at different levels of charge and at different levels of weapon gear for certain weapons (knuckles, twin daggers, etc) each count as different attacks.

High Rarity Weapon Bonus

Certain high-rarity weapons do additional damage to Omega Masquerade, as confirmed by Sega.

• Atlas Ex series and Austere-NT weapon series have a bonus of an additional (140 - current depth)% damage.
  • For example, on depth 1, you will gain an additional +139% damage - in other words, your damage will be multiplied by x2.39; whereas on depth 80, you will only gain an additional +60% damage (or x1.6 multiplier)
  • This effect only applies to depths 110 and below. At depth 111 and beyond, the damage bonus is 0.
• Some series have been reported to have a damage bonus as well - these include the Ares-NT series, Zara series, and Phobos series. However, the damage bonus is far lower than that of the weapons, and quickly becomes 0 as depth increases.

Depth

Depth is a special mechanic unique to this Quest that gauges how much progress you have made in defeating Omega Masquerade. When playing the Quest for the first time, the Quest starts at Depth 1, which indicates the enemy Level and difficulty. Every time the Quest is cleared at the highest reached Depth, the maximum Depth increases by 1.

As Depth increases, Omega Masquerade's Level increases and his AI and attacks change, but in return rewards become greater.

Depth	Changes
2	Slow projectiles now cause Poison
3	Some sword attacks now cause Injury
5	Can now summon 1 clone
10	All healing is reduced by 10% Stage changes: The fog surrounding the area clears, revealing a dark ruin lit under the full moon A cutscene will play when entering and when clearing the quest
20	All healing is reduced by 30%
25	Can now summon 2 clones
30	All sword attacks now cause Injury All healing is reduced by 40% Megiverse healing is reduced by 95% Stage changes: The full moon is now red, BGM changes to the story version A cutscene will play when entering and when clearing the quest
50	Can now summon 3 clones A cutscene will play when clearing the quest
70	Attack nullification barrier activates at 15% of total HP instead of 20%
100	Attack nullification barrier activates at 10% of total HP The final hit of his 3-hit (1st phase) and 5-hit (2nd phase) sword combos are randomly delayed A cutscene will play when clearing the quest

• Note: The Megiverse healing nerf stacks multiplicatively with the regular healing nerf. This means that, in Depth 30 (where this starts), Megiverse will heal only 0.6% of damage dealt.
  • This number is found through the formula: 0.2 x 0.05 x [(100 - RegularHealNerf) / 100].

Drops

Drops are the same in all Depths, but rare drop rates are higher in higher Depths.
