Im so happy to see Yuni... She's so much fun every time she pops up!

Oh yeah, I've been waiting for this.

joined in on a pure DPS run of this (if you count 12 summoners and 8 RDM’s as pure DPS) and it was some of the most fun i had this game. not a single wipe, and it came down to one last samurai doing a level 1 limit break (i was the RDM over on the floor after being hit by something) it was hype as hell. i will probably never see any of those other players again, but it was beautiful.

Glorious art for the video.

Getting to finally see Azeyma was such a treat

With Azeyma, the answer to every question about every mechanic is "And then it blows up."

Hey, it's Yuni~ Glad you guys had fun!

the fact you got balanced scales on your initial run is honestly a pog feat in and of itself 😆

drak just yelling my name in the beginning just made my head go cockeyed lol. also yay yuni!!!

Always glad to see Yuni in a video

Stating it here in case anybody has yet to realize...the color of the mechanic Nald'thal is using is given away by the background. If it's orange/red, orange/red mechanics will always go off. If blue, blue mechanics will go off. Note that he does switch things every other cast, so don't get jebaited!
