Need advice on how to get past CoP mission 6-4

[pearlsea]

Currently i am on mission 6-4 cop, I got to it with my ex cop static but i had payment problems for 3 weeks and my static left me and completed cop. I have heard that this is the hardest mission in the game, and i dont realy want to shout looking for a pickup party just to wipe contunusly or do CoP over again just to join another static. What is my best option to get this finished? I might be able to get my sky ls who also does limbus to help out a bit but i donno if anyone is willing to do such a hard fight just to help me out.

Also is the mission manaburnable? if so i might just hire 5 blm (i have a 60 blm and just manaburn it if i have to but i dont mind doing it the traditional way.

This fight cannot be manaburned.

Don't go in with a pickup group - you'll lose. Beating CoP 6-4 takes perseverence and preparation. Don't be afraid to spend money to win; it's nearly impossible to win without at least some meds unless you're using all Summoners or something equally strange.

I recommend you get some assistance from your LS from people who have already cleared it (and thus know what they're doing).

SPOILERS

You have 45 minutes total to finish 3 consecutive battles.

Phase 1: 5 x Mammets.

This phase is relatively easy, but any manaburn attempt will die here. The Mammets are unsleepable, and will not cluster together (and in return they still have access to their BLM form and can throw many AoE spells and attacks of their own in retribution).

Phase 2: Omega Weapon

Again, unsleepable. Fairly strong melee hits, devastating WS effects, oh, and lest I forget, his Guided Missile attack is short range AoE and does disgusting amounts of damage. He also has a hate-reset WS called Pile Pitch that he uses late in the fight. Mages had best be prepared to take a beating when it happens.

Phase 3: Ultima Weapon

Actually slightly easier than Omega Weapon, since he doesn't reset hate. However, his status attacks are even more debilitating (he can inflict nearly any negative status other than Curse and Terror with his special attacks).

I agree with this. I think reforming a static with people in your LS and helping them catch up to you is the best option. (+ getting help from LS members who have the missions done) You are going to need help with the missions after 6-4 anyways, you might as well have a group that you can count on to do them with. You want a sexy CoP ring don't ya?

I have helped so many of my ls through this fight it is unreal. I agree with the previous posters - try and get help from your ls. Pick up fights will be bad for this.

And frankly, after 1/7 on the snoll - 1/1 on actual runs for this was a breeze (ok we did a couple of deliberate mammet runs to try out strategies).
