Introduction
When you deal more than 15M damage in Temporal Vortex on difficulty III in a single run and reach Journey Level 35, you can play the challenge on difficulty IV.
Difficulty IV offers three tiers of rewards. When you deal more than 25M damage in a single run, you can claim the highest tier of reward. Here are more details:
This article will guide you through how to quickly climb the ranked ladder in Temporal Vortex on difficulty IV in season 2 and let you know some of the lineups that can net you the highest tier of reward even with auto-combat. Also, we'll offer suggestions for players who would like to get competitive and climb the leaderboard so they can earn more rewards from Temporal Vortex.
[Rule Description]
The phase rewards will be tallied based on the damage your team deals to the Sea Deity within 20 minutes of this challenge. Also, players are ranked based on the unit damage they deal, and associated rewards will be distributed on the next day.
Temporal Vortex is a challenge that focuses on dealing damage to a single boss, so using Dauntless, Ice Blast and Wild lineups that dish out massive DoT to a single target are most likely to earn you the highest points!
The challenge rules on difficulty IV rotate periodically. Deploying DPS heroes of certain elements that counter the bosses can further raise your damage output. When the boss is vulnerable to Derivative Damage and Poison Damage, you can consider using a Poison lineup for this challenge.
Recommended Lineups
Lightning and Poison—Dauntless
Lineup: Oggok, Zeffi, Tharivol, Nastjenka, Ivellios
Positioning Reference:
● Skill Timing
Description: The boss uses a skill every 5 seconds, completing a rotation of skills every 20 seconds. Also, the first skill has a long windup time. Given this rotation, Oggok and Zeffi can ensure Immortality and Invincibility are active throughout the fight, easily surviving until the boss gains 150 stacks of Total Damage Bonus.
● Team Aura
We picked Nastjenka's Attack Aura to boost damage.
● Notes
1. Ivellios mainly relies on dealing Derivative Damage, which cannot be critical damage, so he focuses on stacking Attack and Enlightenment to raise the damage output.
2. You will need the fully level up the skills of Zeffi and Oggok. Otherwise, the rotation won't work.
3. While Tharivol's ultimate skill is active, each attack has a chance to trigger Witch's Remains or Crown of the Unclean, which is why I recommend picking Artifacts of this type for him to boost the team's damage output.
● Key Attributes
Tharivol and Oggok have more than 280 Accuracy.
● Equipment
Lightning and Poison—Poison Damage
Lineup: Oggok, Zeffi, Lothair, Durango, Corrin
Positioning Reference:
● Skill Timing
Description: The boss uses a skill every 5 seconds, completing a rotation of skills every 20 seconds. Also, the first skill has a long windup time. Given this rotation, Oggok and Zeffi can ensure Immortality and Invincibility are active throughout the fight, easily surviving even when the boss has more than 150 stacks of Total Damage Bonus.
● Team Aura
We picked Lothair's Enlightenment Aura to boost damage.
● Notes
1. Russell mainly relies on dealing Derivative Damage, which cannot be critical damage, so he focuses on stacking Attack and Enlightenment to raise the damage output.
2. You will need the fully level up the skills of Zeffi and Oggok. Otherwise, the rotation won't work.
3. Durango's ultimate skill attacks in multiple combos. Each attack has a chance to trigger Witch's Remains or Crown of the Unclean, which is why I recommend picking Artifacts of this type for him to boost the team's damage output.
4. Corrin is your go-to choice for inflicting Poison. As long as you have enough Accuracy, you should prioritize helping him stack Skill Haste.
● Key Attributes
Durango, Corrin, and Oggok have more than 280 Accuracy.
● Equipment
Radiance and Ice—Ice Blast
Lineup: Acilia, Zhorak, Shinnah, Beldelle, Felosia
Positioning Reference:
● Skill Timing
Description: The boss uses a skill every 5 seconds, completing a rotation of skills every 20 seconds. Also, the first skill has a long windup time, which means Felosia can capitalize on this rotation and keep Damage Reduction inflicted on the boss for the first three skills of each rotation.
● Team Aura
We picked Beldelle's Crit Damage Aura to boost damage.
● Notes
1. In this lineup, Zhorak mainly relies on his passive skill's Derivative Damage to keep up with the DPS, but the Derivative Damage cannot be critical damage, so he focuses on stacking Attack and Enlightenment to raise the damage output.
2. Shinnah's ultimate skill attacks in multiple combos. Each attack has a chance to trigger Witch's Remains or Crown of the Unclean, which is why I recommend picking Artifacts of this type for her to boost the team's damage output.
● Key Attributes
Shinnah's Accuracy＞280.
● Equipment
Fire and Necrosis—Wild
Lineup: Khrysos, Torrin, Flora, Felicity, Errich
Positioning Reference:
● Skill Timing
Description: The boss uses a skill every 5 seconds, completing a rotation of skills every 20 seconds. Also, the first skill has a long windup time, which means Khrysos can capitalize on this rotation and keep Attack Penalty inflicted on the boss for the first three skills of each rotation.
If Errich doesn't have enough Skill Haste to enable Witch's Remains, you can delay the ultimate skill of the other two Wild DPS heroes so the two of them can capitalize on the Defense Penalty inflicted on the boss, further raising the team's damage output.
● Team Aura
We picked Flora's Attack Aura to boost damage.
● Notes
1. Errich's ultimate skill attacks in multiple combos. Each attack has a chance to trigger Witch's Remains or Crown of the Unclean, which is why I recommend picking Artifacts of this type for him to boost the team's damage output.
2. In this lineup, other allies will help trigger the Derivative Damage of Flora's ultimate skill, which takes up the bigger percentage of the team's overall damage output. So, I'd recommend that you stack Enlightenment and Attack for Flora.
● Key Attributes
Khrysos and Errich have more than 280 Accuracy.
● Equipment
[Advanced Tips]
1. Before the Elemental Affinity level of the five heroes is maximized, you just have to ensure the DPS gets to enjoy the buffs of the 3-hero Elemental Affinity. As for the tanks, you will want to prioritize Zeffi and Oggok, which can take turns to provide Immortality and Invincibility, ensuring the team's survival even when the boss has over 150 stacks of the all-stat bonus.
Especially for the Elemental Affinity of Fire and Necrosis, support heroes and defensive heroes will find it more difficult to protect allies, and DPS heroes will struggle to survive. By switching tanks, you can significantly better enable the DPS.
2. The new Ice Blast added in season 2 is incredible at dealing damage to a single target. Even without the legendary Ice Blast heroes, you can put Gerthin and Brody together to make an epic-hero lineup that deals just as much damage as any other lineup that includes legendary heroes.
3. Your actual damage output can fluctuate during the challenge. If you want to climb the leaderboard, you can replay the challenge multiple times and only save the daily damage record when you are satisfied with the result.
