Strategy

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

Generally shares moveset with Elga Masquerader 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 Masquerader 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 Masquerader 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 Masquerader putting up the barrier, this animation will interrupt any attack he is currently doing. As depth increases, the threshold for Omega Masquerader 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 Masquerader gains immunity to Blight Rounds, the Blight Round effect will no longer be applied. Each PA, Tech, Normal Attack (first, second, third), Sidestep 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 Focus for certain weapons (Knuckles, Daggers, etc.) each count as different attacks.

High Rarity Weapon Bonus

Certain high-rarity weapons do additional damage to Omega Masquerader.

Series	Damage Bonus
Rivalate	+299% ~ +190%
Trailblazer	+199% ~ +90%
Atlas EX	+139% ~ +30%
Ophistia
Resonant
Phobos	+39% ~ +0% (40 Depth)
Ares	+19% ~ +0% (20 Depth)

• Applicable weapon series bonus damage is reduced by an amount equal to the current Depth.
  • For example, on Depth 1, using an Atlas EX weapon, 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 other series have been reported to have a damage bonus as well, the above table only includes those with confirmed bonuses.

Depth

Depth is a special mechanic unique to this Quest that gauges how much progress you have made in defeating Omega Masquerader. 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 Masquerader'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 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
111	High Rarity Weapon Bonus is zero.
150	Omega Masquerader gains a title "Malice: Omega Masquerader" Base attack of Omega Masquerader decreases, but has significantly larger damage multipliers Applies only to this Depth: subsequent Depths do not have this change
200	Sword stab (forward thrust) attack speed is increased, always preceded by a sidestep
300	Omega Masquerader gains a title "Malice: Omega Masquerader" Base attack of Omega Masquerader decreases, but has significantly larger damage multipliers Applies only to this Depth: subsequent Depths do not have this change
400	Teleport attacks (post time stop slash and grab) are done twice in a row
450	Omega Masquerader gains a title "Malice: Omega Masquerader" Base attack of Omega Masquerader decreases, but has significantly larger damage multipliers Applies only to this Depth: subsequent Depths do not have this change
500	Grab attack speed greatly increased
600 650 700 750 800 850 900	Omega Masquerader gains a title "Malice: Omega Masquerader" Base attack of Omega Masquerader decreases, but has significantly larger damage multipliers Applies only to these Depths: subsequent Depths do not have this change
991	Omega Masquerader stats increase significantly every additional Depth
999	Omega Masquerader gains a palette swap Omega Masquerader's stats drastically increase: MEL Pwr increased to 40,341,452 RNG Pwr increased to 40,341,452 TEC Pwr increased to 66,666,666

• 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].
• The change at Depth 100 results in three different timings for the final hit of the sword combos: normal, slightly delayed, and very delayed.
  • Applies to the downward overhead smash in phase 1, and the big uppercut in phase 2
• For the change at Depth 400, Omega Masquerader will vanish shortly after executing the first post-time stop slash or grab, and immediately follow up with a second one which has increased speed if the first one is blocked or avoided.
  • If the first grab attack hits, the second will not be used.
  • The tracking for the second grab attack is improved compared to the first
  • The second grab can be skipped by gaining sufficient height after the first grab.
• The change at Depth 500 results in the teleporting around animation being skipped. The first grab attack will be executed immediately after Omega Masquerader does the hand-on-face pose. The second grab attack immediately after is unchanged.
• Malice: Omega Masquerader at Depths which are multiples of 150 (150, 300, 450, etc) does massively increased damage if your MEL/RNG/TEC Def is low, while if it is high, you will only take 1 damage from all attacks (poison ticks and injury HP reduction apply as normal).
  • Rappy Shine is not recommended. Instead consider Deband drink, Alliance Tree DEF up buff, Deband buff, and units affixed with Def.
  • The amount of DEF needed to reduce damage to 1 is as follows:

Depth	MEL Def	RNG Def	TEC Def
150	1900
300	2000
450	2000	2100	2200
600 650 700	2100	2200	2300
750	2200	2300	2400
800	2300	2400	2500
850	2400	2500	2600
900	2500	2600	2700
