Okay this is a guide on how to get the black magic achievement without training on Heroic... I know impossible...Until today.

I only know how to do this with a Shadow build I've tried with all builds of Bio. and Psycho. but this is the only way it works. (I hate Hydro class so if you wanna let me know of a way to do it that way it's pointless)

First off your stats/Skill Tree/Combat Circle (dunno why ppl call it a Combat Bar it is obviously a circle) should look something like this:

the tree goes like this btw since you cant see

Terrify: 1/4
Free Will: 4/4
Betrayal: 1/4 (no teammates duh)
Retrogade: 2/2
Overdrive: 1/1
Insecurity: 2/3 (or more if you can)
Epiphany: 4/4
Psycho. Form: 1/1
Implosion: 2/2
______________________________________________

Step-By-Step:

Part 1: Firt off Clemons is gonna start casting his unknown effect spell which is basically retrogade and damage that can penetrate it. So here all you do is keep on attacking yourself with dark infusion. between that and your 10% health degradation he wont be able to do any damage to you.

Part 2: After he runs out of Focus he starts attacking with his swords then retrogading like he was before, giving you 1 turn to attack. so heres what you do: Dark Infusion; Epiphany; Dark Infusion; Insecurity; Dark infusion; (dark infusion until epiphany is available) then repeat. (note: DO NOT attack him with DI no matter what or it will give him focus then you will lose alot of hp)

Part 3: After he says "I can see right through you" he goes crazy... now its kinda hard to get an exact cycle to follow here since he sometimes strays from his path... He's gonna stop retrogading you (unless you give him focus in which case you will die) basically you wanna try and damage him as much as possible with the epiphany; insecurity; implosion nuke combo which deals somewhere around 500 per round and 800-1000 on the round with implosion. then after he lose a set amount of health he buffs himself and will start bashing your skull, but you have to try and predict when he is about to buff and cast retrogade on him right before so he damages himself for like 1k-1.5k and then heal your self when you lose hp by doing psycho form; free will; implosion.

I will try to improve step three as much as possible by finding out how many turns/ damage it takes for him to buff but really his buff doesn't exactly turn the tide of battle so you should be fine by doing the DoT nuke (epiphany; insecurity; implosion) and the HoT nuke (Psycho Form; Free Will; implosion) at the right times. It may take a bit of practice on step 3 but I got it on my 5th try so it shouldn't take too long since you get to have a guide. ;P

Ok I tried it a third time. I don't think I used traumatize enough. If you use it enough, I think you should be able to receive as much healing as damage till he "sees right through you" and already be at full health at this stage.

hmmm... its a weird way of doing it but it works... alot slower though. traumatize isn't so awesome cuz really it only keeps him from attacking if u want to heal or stack stuff on him... really I think my HoT nuke works well enough to heal without using it.

Did you try it then joker? You hadn't saved past that point or something that you could try it?

Well if your already doing electric, this method will save you from the cost of switching twice.

Also, it is surprisingly quick from the time the battle starts to "sees right through you". 16-20 rounds or so?(just a guesstimate) But they go by quick since you don't have to do much thinking, there is only 1 fighter on each side, and much of the time he isn't even attacking thanks to traumatize, which saves time.

After that point, the raw damage of a pure electrical build over a shadow build without enough points in it will make up the difference with any slowness from the first part.
