Grave of Curse is the primary source of support hero equipment. It will test the survivability of your entire team as well as your strategy in countering debuffs.
In this article, we'll walk you through the more easily accessible rare/epic hero lineups, aiming at guiding you to clear the stage on difficulty #9.
Meanwhile, we'll give you a legendary hero lineup for reference, which you can use for efficient auto-combat. |
I. About The Boss
II. Stage Clearing Configuration
[Recommended Level and Equipment]● Recommended Level
This stage significantly tests the survivability of your heroes. It's recommended to attempt it after the overall team level has broken through Lv.90.
● Equipment Requirements
This stage demands your heroes to have a certain level of survivability. Try to equip legendary, fully refined (+20) gear as much as possible.
If you have mythic equipment with the right attributes, such as Massif Colossus, Precise Carnage Gauntlets, or Moonlight Battle Robes, it's highly recommended to equip them for this stage.
Key Attribute Reference1. Ideally, the average HP of your heroes should be over 35,000.
2. Heroes responsible for applying debuffs should have more than 220 Accuracy.
III. Recommended Lineups
Lineup 1
Lineup: Frurbath + Vicuc + Eches + Gerthin + Bleddyn/Heksandra
Positioning Reference:
Description: This focuses on the Ice and Poison Elemental Affinities in season 3, aiming at clearing stages faster with two Ice Blast damage dealers.
Frurbath can dispel debuffs for the team, provide AoE healing, and apply Attack Penalty to the boss, combined with Vicuc's battle skills to keep the boss inflicted with Attack Penalty most of the time.
Vicuc and Eches taking turns to use their ultimate skills can timely remove debuffs for our allies, Eches's battle skill applying Healing Prohibition is also a premium countermeasure against the boss's third skill.
Bleddyn and Gerthin can deal very high single-target burst damage, helping you quickly end the fight,
If survival is a concern, Bleddyn can be replaced with Heksandra to further provide healing and dispel debuffs.
Recommended Legendary Hero Substitutes
Lineup 2
Lineup: Nathaniel + Enna + Thia + Iola + Shook/Nimbus
Positioning Reference:
Description: This focuses on the Lightning and Necrosis Elemental Affinities in season 3. So long as you have enough Accuracy and survival attributes, Iola and Twitch can wear more DPS-oriented equipment to clear stages faster.
Let Shook and Iola take turns using their ultimate skills to keep the boss inflicted with Attack Penalty.
Thia provides high AoE healing for this lineup, applies Healing Prohibition with her ultimate skill to prevent the boss from using its third skill to recover HP, and also grants Immunity to debuffs to all allies.
Enna and Nathaniel help the team dispel debuffs and heal them. Moreover, Nathaniel's ultimate skill providing AoE Shield also counters the boss's passive skill effect of reducing our Max HP based on damage dealt.
Since Shook's battle skill has the effect of reducing the target's Ultimate Energy, it can make the boss use its skills less frequently, so our skill rotation usually won't be under pressure. If the skill levels of the heroes in your lineup are too low, Thia's ultimate skill can be used before the boss's second skill to counter the boss's recharge speed reduction effect, but this would require your heroes to have higher survival attributes.
If the overall level of the team is high and survival is not a concern, Shook can be replaced with Nimbus to increase damage output. As this lineup can keep providing buffs to trigger Nimbus's passive skill, adding Nimbus to the team help you clear stages much faster.

IV. Examples
*Using Lineup 2 as an example.
● Team Aura
Here, Nathaniel's HP Aura is chosen to allow more rooms for mistakes, and this way, you won't have to have well-developed heroes to clear early-game stages.
● Equipment
Description: If your equipment quality is low, it's recommended to choose more DEF% or HP% equipment for the backline heroes. This can help keep your heroes alive in combat.
● Food Improvement
When your team is not fully fledged, your heroes will have trouble surviving and dealing damage, so we recommend you use [Aquitaine Meat Pie], which is made of Elf Wheat ×2 and Wild Boar Meat ×1. It can give you +10% HP and +5% ATK for 600 seconds.
● Stage Clearing Tips
1. Since the boss's first skill has some delay, if Thia's skill level is maxed and her Skill Haste can reach 130 or above, she can grant Immunity to debuffs to teammates before the boss applies Poison and Healing Prohibition, significantly reducing our team's survival pressure.
2. Since Iola's ultimate skill can deal multiple instances of damage, it is easier to trigger the Witch's Remains or Crown of the Unclean Artifact effects on the boss, applying Defense Penalty to increase our team's damage output.
3. Try to counter the recharge speed reduction effect applied by the boss's second skill through the Immunity to debuffs granted by Thia. This will avoid our team's skill rotation from being disrupted.
4. If Nathaniel has any debuffs before the boss uses its third skill, they need to be dispelled in time, or else the boss will remove all buffs from Nathaniel.
5. Control skills can be used as an emergency measure to provide AoE Shield so that your heroes have a chance to get healed.
● About Auto-Combat
Skill Timing:
Description: With adequate team strength, this sample team can be used for auto-combat, but since Shook's battle skill's Ultimate Down effect is unstable, it might cause Thia to use her skill at the wrong time. Therefore, it is recommended to improve the overall team strength to allow more room for mistakes during auto-combat.
The timings for using skills are for reference only, and you should adjusting them according to your heroes' skill level and Skill Haste.
V. High-end Auto-combat Lineup Rec
Recommended Lineup
Lineup: Acilia + Elminster + Catherine + Flora + Errich
Positioning Reference:
● Team Aura
Here, Elminster's Enlightenment Aura is used, which not only improves our lineup's Shield and healing effectiveness but also increases the Derivative Damage dealt by Flora.
● Sample Lineup
This lineup is built around the Radiance and Fire Elemental Affinities in season 3. If the overall team strength is higher and survival pressure is lesser, Elminster can be replaced with another Wild faction damage dealer to help you clear stages faster.
● Skill Timing
By raising Skill Haste, Acilia and Catherine can take turns to use their ultimate skills and ensure our team always has Immunity to debuffs.
[Configurations]
● Recommended Level
Overall, your team should be at least Lv.90, 5 Star.
● Key Attributes
Acilia HP >65,000, DEF >2,000.
All of the deployed heroes should have over 30,000 HP.
Elminster and Errich Accuracy >220.
● Equipment
Description: For Errich's set, you can go with Might of the Sovereign or Aerial Battle Roar, prioritize wearing the set with better stats. If you want to clear stages faster, Elminster can wear the Dawn Pipe Organ to increase the ATK of Flora and Errich.
