In this season, starting from Difficulty 2, the enemies in this stage counter Ice and Poison heroes, and the boss will test your abilities to deal with enemy shields.
This article will walk you through the more easily accessible rare/epic hero lineups and provide strategies to clear this stage at Difficulty 5.
We will also provide an example of a legendary hero lineup that you can use to consistently clear the stage in auto-combat.
II. Team Configurations for Clearing This Stage
[Recommended Level and Equipment]
●Recommended Level
You can attempt this challenge when the overall level of your team is about 90, with the difference being ① the strength of the heroes on your team, ② the quality and refinements of your equipment, and ③ the countering attributes of your lineup or individual heroes.
●Equipment Requirements
It is recommended that the whole team is equipped with fully-refined Epic quality gear (+16). This will allow you to clear the stage without Negative Runes. You can adjust your equipment based on the overall hero strength and level of your team.
If you have Mythic Equipment with the right attributes, such as Massif Colossus, Precise Carnage Gauntlets, or Moonlight Mantle, it's highly recommended to equip them for this stage.
[Key Attribute Recommendations]
1. Ideally, the average HP of your heroes should be over 30,000.
2. Your main tank should have over 48,000 HP and over 3,000 DEF.
3. Heroes responsible for applying Debuffs should have more than 160 Accuracy.
III. Recommended Lineups
Fire and Radiance
Lineup: Garius + Adolphus + Tonalnan + Brody + Catherine
Positioning Example:
Note: As shown in the positioning diagram, make sure that all team members are always inside the range of Catherine's ultimate skill;
In this lineup, Garius serves as the main tank. He has excellent damage resistance ability and his ability, Knock Up, allows heroes in the back to deal more damage;
Adolphus generates a shield for his teammates with his battle skill, and the AOE Shield from his ultimate skill can continuously protect teammates;
Brody uses his battle skill to inflict a Debuff and his ultimate skill to break the boss's shield. Breaking the shield will stop the boss from applying wide-range Control and dealing high damage. Brody’s presence ensures that other heroes can survive to deal more damage;
Catherine's ultimate skill provides Healing and can also grant Debuff Immunity to the entire team at the right time, which stops the boss from inflicting Attack Penalty on your heroes.
Tonalnan deals very high single-target damage and helps the team defeat the boss quickly;
Recommended Legendary Hero Substitutes
Lightning and Necrosis
Lineup: Nathaniel + Thia + Iola + Zhar'loth + Shook
Positioning Example:
Note: Equip Nathaniel with mostly DEF and HP gear and position him at the frontline because his battle skill provides good Healing and can Dispel Debuff. His ultimate skill can generate an AOE Shield, allowing heroes in the backline to deal more damage;
In this lineup, Iola and Shook are the main DPS, so besides meeting the Accuracy requirements, they should also stack Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Attack attributes;
Shook should save his ultimate skill just before entering the boss phase, so he can quickly remove the shield generated by the boss's second skill;
In addition, the ultimate skills of Iola and Shook can both inflict Attack Penalty, so alternating the release of their ultimate skills will allow you to continuously lower the boss's damage output and ensure the survival of your team;
Although all of our heroes are ranged, Thia is able to provide ample AOE Healing and ensures the team's long-term survival.
Recommended Legendary Hero Substitutes
IV. Stage Clearing Examples
*Here, we'll give an example of a Fire and Radiance team lineup, where all the heroes equip Epic gear at max refinements (+16) without Negative Runes. You can substitute the listed heroes with other higher-quality heroes according to your needs to increase the overall strength of your team.
●Team Aura
Here, we will use Garius's DEF Aura to allow room for more mistakes and lower the development requirement for low-investment teams.
●Equipment Example:
Note: This sample team uses high-quality artifacts and can clear the stage with basically full HP. artifacts of a lower quality but of similar types will also work.
●Food Buffs
For low-investment teams, your heroes will have trouble surviving, so the use of [Aquitaine Meat Pie] is recommended. This item is made from Elf Wheat ×2 and Wild Boar Meat ×1. It will give a +10% HP and +5% ATK buff for 600 seconds.
● Stage Clearing Tips
1. For the first two rounds of minions, kill backline enemies that deal AOE damage first;
2. It is best for Brody to equip the Witch's Remains artifact, so his ultimate skill can inflict Defense Penalty on the boss. His battle skill can also inflict Attack Penalty, which will keep the boss in a Debuff state, countering the boss's passive skills and increasing the team's damage output;
3. Since Catherine's ultimate skill grants a 10-second Debuff Immunity, it should be used just before the boss's third skill. This will give immunity against the boss's Attack Penalty twice;
4. Make sure that you can use Brody's ultimate skill within eight seconds after the boss releases its second skill, so the enemy shield can be broken quickly. This will prevent the boss from dealing high damage and applying Control;
5. When your heroes are dying, use a Control Skill to grant shields to all allies.
● About Auto-Combat
Skill Timing Example:
Note: With adequate investment, this team can clear this stage in auto-combat. After the boss uses its second skill, quickly release Brody's ultimate skill to remove the enemy shield. Use Tonalnan's ultimate skill to deal high damage after Brody removes the boss's shield. Use Catherine's ultimate skill before the boss uses its third skill to provide the team with a 10-second Debuff Immunity;
The timing for using skills is for reference only. Please adjust them according to your heroes' Skill Level and Skill Haste.
V. High-investment Auto-combat Lineup Recommendations
[Recommended Lineup]
Lineup: Acilia + Victor + Rose + Diantha + Aemonleyda
Positioning Example:
●Team Aura
Here, Diantha uses an Attack Aura, which can increase the ATK of all your heroes by 30% in this stage, allowing you to clear it a lot faster.
●Lineup Analysis
This lineup is built around Radiance comps heroes. Aemonleyda has a powerful ability that ensures every attack triggers Crit Damage, providing high damage output even at low-investment levels, making this team suitable for auto-combat;
Rose, in a team with Victor, can continuously inflict Debuffs on enemies. Together with Acilia, they can remove Debuffs and provide Healing, ensuring the team's survival;
Victor's battle skill is used as a countermeasure to remove the boss's shield. Victor should focus on stacking Skill Haste after the Accuracy requirement is met. This will ensure that his battle skill can be used as soon as possible after the boss obtains a shield with its second skill.
●Skill Timing Example:
Make sure that Acilia can release her ultimate skill right after the boss uses its second skill. This will immediately remove any Debuffs and apply Debuff Immunity. Refer to the following setup and adjust your skill timing based on your heroes' Skill Level and Skill Haste.
[Team Configuration Recommendation]
●Recommended Level
The overall level of your team should be about 90.
●Key Attribute Requirements
HP > 40,000 and DEF > 1,500 for Aemonleyda;
HP > 26,000 for all deployed heroes;
Accuracy > 150 for Rose;
● Equipment Example:
Note: If you do not have Aemonleyda's exclusive artifact, you can use Envoy's Wing, Eyeball of the Giant, or other premium-quality artifacts.
To kill the boss faster, Victor can use Crown of the Unclean and alternate with Rose to apply Defense Penalty to the boss, which will allow you to clear the stage faster.
